As soon as the Apocalyptic Demon Blade was unleashed, the world was in chaos.
om*
Xiao Han extracted all the demon power in the 43000 demon meridians and slashed out a Apocalyptic Demon Blade. The power was half of Demon Emperor Qing Lin's peak.
Everyone saw a bewitching blade light that could not be described with words. It disappeared in a flash, bringing with it a shock and taking everything away.
Under this World Annihilating Demon Blade, the demonized Garen was instantly disintegrated and devoured. All of his Demon Qi was gone. On the ground, a ravine that was dozens of miles long was left. It was several feet deep and several feet wide, extending in a straight line. Dust and smoke filled the air, it was a ghastly sight.
"Phew ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han let out a breath and kept the demon blade.
Now, Emperor Zuo Bing's palm was dry and silent. There was no longer any vitality.
The three Demon Emperor Crystals had dimmed a lot.
Strictly speaking, although Xiao Han could activate the demon power of a low-level Demon Emperor and slashed out a high-level Demon Emperor's Natal Demon Technique, he was far inferior to a Demon Emperor in some aspects.
For example, after the demon power was drained, it automatically recovered at an extremely slow pace.
With 43000 demonic veins, without any external help, it would probably take a year and a half to fully replenish them.
Unless he hunted the demons and absorbed their soul essences.
"It seems that increasing my own combat strength is the best way. This Demon Clan's secret technique can only be used as a support," Xiao Han muttered.
"However, the long Heretic Hero Selection has come to an end. It's completely over. I, Xiao Han, should be able to become a Heretic Hero now, right?"
Xiao Han looked at the group of experienced Heretic Heroes floating in the void. All of them had a powerful aura.
In their eyes, there were the sun, moon, stars, and ancient runes.
"Good!
Xiao Han, good!
Very good! "An old man as deep as the sea.
He gave people a god-like pressure.
With a smile on his face, he looked at Xiao Han with an appreciative gaze.
"Hmm … Contestants, please wait a moment."
After that, the group of experienced Heretic Heroes closed their eyes and seemed to communicate with something.
"Boss!" Fatty Zhu was the first to pounce on Xiao Han, the fat on his face shaking.
He was overjoyed.
Mo Qingtong, Shao Yunrong, and Huo Yang also dashed toward Xiao Han.
As for the rest of the contestants, some were happy, while others were sad.
Some contestants, such as Tang Feipeng from the Eastern Domain, had bet on Xiao Han's victory in this battle of the pinnacle. Thus, they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts.
However …
He also had a lingering fear in his heart. If he had made the slightest mistake before this …
If he had chosen Garen, he would have cried to death right now. He would have been directly eliminated and would never be able to become a Fiend Hero.
Heaven with a thought, hell with a thought. There was nothing better than this.
On the contrary, the contestants who had chosen Garen now had a look of defeat and despair on their faces. They were completely disheartened, like eggplants that had been hit by frost.
However, they did not dare to voice their anger. This was the rule of the test. Their fate was in their own hands. The winner was the king, and the loser was the thief. Since they had made the wrong choice, they had to bear the consequences themselves.
Moreover, after witnessing Xiao Han's monstrous and inhuman extraordinary means, they didn't dare to make a sound. They were afraid that Xiao Han would take revenge on them if they even let out a breath of resentment.
They were either crippled or killed.
They deeply believed that Xiao Han could do such a thing.
The younger generation of the Fiend Hero Region collectively collapsed!
They had all chosen Garen to win. Now, they were all facing the fate of being eliminated!
…
"Boss, you're too fierce. Garen was full of tricks, but he was still no match for you. In the end, he was instantly killed by you.
This was a direct suppression. You defeated him fair and square. There's nothing to doubt … Boss, you're really Fatty's lifelong idol! "Fatty Zhu fawned on him.
"Xiao Han, you actually learned Demon Emperor Qing Lin's World Destroying Demon Blade … This is simply too abnormal and invincible …" Mo Qingtong also looked at Xiao Han with stars in her eyes. She was extremely excited.
Shao Yunrong and Huo Yang said in unison. "We've become Fiends now?"
"Hehe … It seems that everyone has become Fiends." Xiao Han laughed heartily.
"Xiao Han, congratulations on becoming a Fiend." Chen Fengchen and Leng Ruyu walked over slowly.
Chen Fengchen smiled slightly.
"Maybe we'll have a chance to work together in the future."
Leng Ruyu looked at Xiao Han in shock. "Xiao Han, Ruyu has always underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so strong. Even with Garen's monstrous talent, he's completely no match for you.
You're invincible under the sixth stage of true qi.
You can now deal with low-level Demon Emperors. "
"Heh … It's all luck." Xiao Han said humbly.
At this moment, the old man with a deep aura announced loudly.
"Now, candidates whose names I've called out, please come over!
Southern Region, Xiao Han, Huo Yang, Shao Yunrong, Mo Qingtong, Zhu Hu … Hmm, the Southern Region did well this time.
Pretty good. "
"Wow!
Boss!
Let's go! "Fatty Zhu was almost dancing with joy.
"Heh … Let's go." Xiao Han smiled slightly. He was also unable to control his excitement. He walked over with his companions.
The group of veteran Evil Heroes smiled as they looked at Xiao Han and the others, secretly commenting on them …
"These people aren't very strong, but their luck is good. It's very likely that they'll encounter all kinds of fortuitous encounters in the future. Good, good, they're all good kids."
"They are all Xiao Han's companions. When one person achieves the Dao, even his fowls and dogs follow him.
However, this is luck. What else is there to say? "
…
The old man continued to announce.
"Eastern Region, Tang Feipeng, Xuan Qi, Luo Dahua, Luo Chuchu …"
On the Eastern Region's side, there were also more than a dozen people whose names were called. They walked over with ecstasy, all trembling with excitement.
"Da Huang, Lu Ah, Deng Ba Ba, Ying, Jing Li …"
Da Huang had more contestants whose names were called out, 187 people.
Because Da Huang had the most contestants participating in the fourth stage of the assessment, close to 1,000 people.
Northern Region and Western Region each had one person.
The Devil Hero Region was completely annihilated!
"Well, the contestants whose names are not called will be teleported out of the Devil Hero Region.
Among you, about half of the contestants are still young and still have a chance to participate in the next Devil Hero Trial in five years.
Keep up the good work!
In fact, you've already benefited a lot from surviving the cruelest Devil Hero Trial in history.
Forget it, that's it! "For the contestants whose names were not read out,
This old man.
He was not so polite.
There was a hint of impatience in his tone.
"No!
Examiners!
I have something to say! "
On the Devil Hero Region's side, a young man in white had a nervous and indignant expression on his face.
"Hmm?
What do you have to say? "The group of senior Devil Heroes was stunned.
"Examiners!
It's true that Xiao Han killed our Eldest Senior Brother Garen … But …
He actually used Demon Emperor Qing Lin's World Destroying Demon Saber!
This is the secret technique of the Devil Race!
How can we humans use the secret technique of the Devil Race?
I suspect that Xiao Han has already fallen into the Devil Dao!
I protest!
I seriously protest! "The young man in white from the Devil Hero Region roared with grief and indignation.
"Shut up!"
The old man with a strong aura moved his eyes slightly and runes flashed. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on his body, making it difficult for the young man in white to breathe.
He wanted to argue, but he could not say anything.
"Whether Xiao Han has fallen into the Devil Dao or not, it's not up to you young people to decide!" The old man said indifferently.
"I used to dominate the world.
I don't know how many demons I've killed. I can still distinguish between humans and demons.
Don't be noisy!
You're obviously doubting my judgment and intelligence by saying this!
Alright, all of you will be teleported away!
You're all selected and trained by the senior Devil Heroes of the Devil Hero Tower. I was against this at the beginning. If you want to select talents, you should start from the four regions and the Great Wilderness. Training disciples for Devil Heroes?
This is a rare thing!
Now the result is obvious. Failure!
All 100 contestants have been eliminated. It's a failure among failures!
Alright, don't talk nonsense. All of you, leave ~ ~ ~ "
"This ~ ~ No!
We're not willing to accept this! "
"Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~" A faint fluctuation of the power of time and space teleported the dozens of people from the Devil Hero Region and the hundreds of contestants around them away.
…
"Well, you young people are all good.
If nothing goes wrong, you'll be the new generation of Devil Heroes!
It's really not easy for you to emerge as a new force in what is known as the cruelest Hex Trial in history. Although your strength and realm may not be the strongest, each of you is very lucky, and you will be able to show your strength in the future.
I have high hopes for you!
Alright, now I'll teleport you to a town. You'll all stay there temporarily.
The higher-ups are already preparing the 'Devil Hero Token' for you and registering you one by one.
In a few days, someone will come to contact you and officially announce that you've all become Devil Heroes.
Wait patiently for these few days.
Hahahaha … Let's go! "
…
Devil Hero Tower.
Level 29.
"Hahaha!
Sect Leader, Junior Brother Xiao Han and Junior Sister Huo Yang have all become Devil Heroes!
This is really a joyous occasion for our Pure Cloud Sect!
In this year's Devil Hero preliminaries, which is said to be the cruelest in history, our Pure Cloud Sect has sent two disciples to participate in the competition, and both of them have become Devil Heroes. Does this … also indicate that in the future, our Pure Cloud Sect's luck will also rise steadily like a rainbow piercing through the sun?
Hahahaha … Cool!
Junior Brother Xiao Han's last strike was the Demon Emperor Qing Lin's World Destroying Demon Blade. He actually practiced it to such a level. With his full strength, even Junior Brother Fang Ling and Junior Brother Dongfang Qin would not be able to withstand it. "Xiao Mingchu smiled.
Fang Ling pondered for a moment and said seriously.
"If I were to face Junior Brother Xiao Han's strike, the only thing I can do is to use my experience to escape. I can't fight head-on.
Seriously speaking, with Junior Brother Xiao Han's current combat strength, it's enough for him to fight for a place on the Devil Hero List. "
Dongfang Qin thought for a few breaths and said softly.
"It's also impossible for me to fight Junior Brother Xiao Han head-on. However, I believe that Junior Brother Xiao Han is not a Demon Emperor. His replenishment of demonic energy is a big problem. If I were to fight Junior Brother Xiao Han to the death, I would avoid his attack and wait for his demonic energy to weaken before fighting him.
However, Junior Brother Xiao Han's physical strength is not to be underestimated.
It's hard to predict the outcome. "
"The biggest winner of this year's Hex Trial is Xiao Han.
He has made a lot of progress. "Old Wu smiled.
"Well, let's prepare to welcome Xiao Han and Huo Yang!
Congratulate them on becoming Devil Heroes!
Let's celebrate! "
"Hahaha, Brother Wu, how can I miss such a grand ceremony?
By the way, my disciple Qing Tong has also become a Devil Hero!
Hahahaha! "The Heavenly Devil Old Man was also overjoyed.
"And me, Fatty!" Zhu Ganglie also joined in the fun.
Many of the Devil Heroes on this floor also came to congratulate them.
…
The highest floor of the Devil Hero Tower.
The antiques who cultivated a group of elite disciples of the Devil Hero Region.
Now, this floor was very quiet.
Like a pool of stagnant water.
But.
In this silence.
There was a terrible undercurrent brewing.
It was like the moment before the storm.
"Garen is dead … He couldn't kill Xiao Han, but was killed by Xiao Han with one strike.
That was the World Destroying Demon Blade, which sent Garen out of the Five Elements and out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It could be said that he died very cleanly, leaving nothing behind.
Our disciples were all wiped out.
None of them could become Devil Heroes … "
"From then on, we were all disgraced … At that time, we resisted the rumors and spent time and energy to cultivate this group of young people, swearing to make this group of young people all become Devil Heroes, and even the cornerstone of the future Devil Slayer. Our ambition was higher than the sky, and our confidence was bursting … In the end, we suddenly fell.
Fell to the bottom … All our hopes were shattered … How ruthless.
This fall was so hard that we almost lost our reputation. In the future, we will forever become the topic of other Devil Heroes, a complete joke … "
"All of this, thanks to Xiao Han … If it wasn't for Xiao Han, Garen would have become a Devil Hero, and even become the leader of the young generation of Devil Heroes in the future. The other children can also become Devil Heroes, so that we can have glory … Unfortunately, there is a variable, Xiao Han!
This child … makes me want to kill him! "
"If I don't kill this child, I won't be satisfied!"
"All of you shut up!
Now, this Xiao Han is in the limelight, and the higher-ups must have high hopes and focused on cultivating him. If we jump out now to deal with him, it is like running into the muzzle of a gun!
That is courting death!
This Xiao Han, we can't vent our anger if we don't kill him. However, this matter needs to be planned and done slowly. In fact, we can even bear with it and wait for an opportunity in the dark.
Once we find an opportunity, we will kill him!
Don't let him turn over a new leaf! "
"I've already done a thorough investigation. This Xiao Han is a member of the Southern Domain's Cloud Sect. The sect leader of the Cloud Sect, Wu Yu, is also an unruly and difficult person to deal with. However, other than Wu Yu, the Cloud Sect also has other heroes.
Hmph!
This Xiao Han has given us too much of a blow!
This caused us to waste tens of years of time and the endless resources we used to cultivate Garen and the others!
Killing Xiao Han alone is not enough to vent our anger!
When we find an opportunity, we must make the Cloud Sect pay a heavy price!
They will be punished! "
"Alright, from now on, everyone should know their place and don't go overboard. You can even pretend to be magnanimous and congratulate Xiao Han, Wu Bi, and the others. However, you must secretly look for an opportunity.
Don't let go of any chance to attack the Cloud Sect and Xiao Han! "
"That's it. In short, this is a fight to the death!
Xiao Han knows the secrets of the Demon Clan and is good at using Demon Techniques. From this matter, we can make a big deal out of it!
Well … wait for an opportunity, and we will catch him by his tail!
When that time comes, we will trample him to death! "
…
Devil Hero Domain.
It was a small town with beautiful scenery and an exotic atmosphere.
This small town was very quiet and full of Spiritual Qi.
Even the air was warm and lingering, making people feel like they were being cleansed with just a little breath.
This place was very suitable for cultivation.
Moreover, this place was not disturbed by the outside world at all.
It was like a secluded paradise.
There were no worries, and it was a paradise.
Xiao Han and his companions, as well as the contestants who were about to become Devil Heroes, lived in this small town.
Three days had passed.
In these three days, Xiao Han emptied his mind. During this time, his heart, which had been tense because of the Hex Hero preliminaries, was completely relaxed.
It was very comfortable.
Relaxing.
Refreshing.
During this period, the other contestants would find Xiao Han eagerly and flatter him, wanting to make friends with him.
Xiao Han always brushed it off indifferently and evaded it.
Three days later, above the small town, the void was broken, and a young man stepped through the void.
His aura was like that of a god, and there seemed to be a vision of stars disappearing in his eyes. His hands were empty, and he casually floated in the air, bringing with him an indescribable majesty.
Xiao Han and many other contestants gathered together and looked at the young man in the sky.
"Well … Not bad, not bad …" the young man said. He looked very young, and his skin was smooth and shiny, but his voice was very old, as if he had experienced the world.
"Congratulations, you have officially become the new generation of Devil Heroes!
I am here today to distribute the Devil Hero Token to you.
I will also bring you into the Devil Hero Tower.
Because this year's Devil Hero preliminaries are known as the most difficult in history, so once you become a Devil Hero, you will be qualified to enter the Devil Hero Tower.
You should know that many Devil Heroes may not be able to earn enough contribution points to enter the Devil Hero Tower even after working hard for a lifetime.
This is the privilege given to you. "
"Our world of Devil Heroes does not pay too much attention to formalities, which is different from the secular world, so there is no guard of honor to welcome you.
Okay, now I will distribute the Devil Hero Token to you, and I will tell you about other things along the way. After entering the Devil Hero Tower, I will also teach you some basic rules of the Devil Hero World. "
After saying that, the young man swept his gaze across the crowd.
Whoever his gaze swept across, they were terrified, and their hearts were beating wildly, as if they had done something wrong and were caught red-handed.
Under his gaze, everyone felt as if every inch of their body was seen through by him. Even their souls were seen through. Their realms, cultivation, flesh, bones, skin, hair, acupoints, everything was seen through!
Finally, his gaze fell on Xiao Han.
"Well … You are Xiao Han, right?
You are very good, the most demonic existence among the new batch of Devil Heroes.
Good, you are very good! "
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~" Xiao Han felt that his body was almost transparent!
No secret could hide from this young man's eyes!
Xiao Han was shocked and alarmed, but he forced himself to calm down very soon. The Spirit Turtle's true qi surged, sealing up his heart firmly. As for the daemon egg in his heart, it seemed to possess intelligence. Afraid of being spied on, it immediately shrank to the size of a speck of dust, completely still and deathly silent.
Moreover, Xiao Han purposely released the aura of Zuo Bing Emperor's palm tattoo. A weak demonic light flowed on his left arm.
"Hmm …" After a full ten breaths, the young man withdrew his gaze. The pressure on Xiao Han's body disappeared, and he was covered in cold sweat!
"Not bad, Xiao Han, you did not make any mistakes. You only refined a Demon Emperor's palm.
You are still human in your bones.
Alright, congratulations, Xiao Han. You've become a Swordsman.
This is your Devil Hero Token, keep it. "
The young man smiled at Xiao Han in a friendly manner, his eyes were filled with admiration. He raised his hand, and a black token flew towards Xiao Han!
…
