Xiao Han stood motionless. His pupils shrank slightly as he looked at the five gates.
Xiao Han knew that the highlight of the grand ceremony had officially begun!
Behind each of the five gates, there were different amounts of precious herbs!
Of course, the probability of death in the trial field behind each gate was different.
"Start choosing.
After 20 breaths, the five gates will close at the same time. Those who haven't made a choice by then … will be obliterated … "The Great Demon Sovereign's voice was indifferent.
Suddenly, the five gates slowly closed. After 20 breaths, they would be completely closed!
The Great Demon Sovereign had made it very clear. After 20 breaths, those who were still hesitant and hadn't made a choice would be rejected by any of the gates. Then, they would be obliterated and die miserably.
"Make your choice!" A peak high-level Demon Sovereign roared hysterically, his voice sharp.
Immediately, his demon form turned into a stream of light and directly flashed into the first gate!
Although the mortality rate of the trial field behind the first gate was as high as 70%, there were a total of 10 precious herbs placed there.
In other words, compared to the other four gates, the probability of obtaining precious herbs in the trial field behind the first gate was very high.
"Life and death will be decided here!
I will also choose the first gate!
Among the 10 precious herbs, there will be a place for me! "The Black Yellow Demon Sovereign followed closely behind and resolutely entered the first gate.
Soon, a large group of Demon Sovereign level creatures rushed into the first gate.
However, there were also some who chose the second, third, and fourth gates …
"The mortality rate of the trial field behind the fourth gate is only 30%!
I will choose to be stable … "A peak high-level Demon Sovereign that had participated in the siege against Xiao Han entered the fourth gate.
"Xiu ~ ~ Xiu ~ ~ Xiu ~ ~ ~"
The densely packed Demon Sovereign level creatures all made their choices.
However, not a single Demon Sovereign level creature entered the fifth gate.
Yes, there was only one precious herb in the fifth gate, but the mortality rate was as high as 99%.
With a mortality rate of 99%, it was basically certain death.
Although the Great Demon Sovereign had clearly said that once one successfully broke through the trial field behind the fifth gate, they would gain the favor of Yan Lang and possibly become his follower … such a promise was almost no different from an illusion.
Xiao Han did not rush to make a decision. He stared at the seven Mutant Demon Emperors.
"So far, the number of Demon Emperors that have entered the first and fourth gates is the highest. The number of Demon Emperors that have entered the second and third gates is relatively smaller …" Xiao Han quickly evaluated.
However, at this moment …
"Heh …" Among the four mutated Demon Emperors standing together, the ultimate mutated Demon Emperor who had awakened 700,000 demonic veins and embedded 10 Demon Emperor Crystals grinned and directly rushed into the first gate!
"Trying to destroy … Ha … You're courting death!"
The pointy-faced man in the straw hat, the Ultimate Mutant Demon Emperor, also entered the first gate!
Among the four mutated Demon Emperors, the Ultimate Mutated Demon Emperor had already entered the first gate. The remaining two Single Mutated Demon Emperors entered the second and third gates respectively. The last Double Mutated Demon Emperor entered the fourth gate.
On the other side, there were two mutated demon emperors. One was a double mutated demon emperor while the other was an ultimate mutated demon emperor.
The Ultimate Mutated Devil Emperor entered the fourth door while the Double Mutated Devil Emperor entered the second door.
All of this was witnessed by Xiao Han!
In other words, mutated Demon Emperors had entered the first four gates respectively!
"Things are getting weirder and weirder …" Xiao Han touched his nose and looked at the fifth gate. "The death rate of the first four gates has quietly risen!
Those Demon Emperors with ordinary bloodlines are still clueless … "
…
The second level of the Demon Metropolis!
Yan Lang's manor!
In an antique palace, Yan Lang was sitting on a carved wooden chair, holding a teacup in his hand. Behind him, a large number of mutated Demon Emperors were serving him attentively.
In the middle of the hall, there were four light screens, recording and transmitting the situation of the grand ceremony from four different directions.
"Well … Those great emperors really sent a lot of mutated Demon Emperors to enter the grand ceremony to stir up trouble …" Yan Lang looked gloomy, but soon, he smiled with relief.
"That's good too. It will greatly increase the excitement of the grand ceremony.
Such a grand ceremony won't be any less difficult than any Monster Hero Trial in the history of the human clan … "
A mutated Demon Emperor standing behind Yan Lang said cautiously, "Master, those guys who participated in the grand ceremony didn't seem to have a choice at the fifth gate …"
"Master, the trial field behind the fifth gate was personally set up by you. The death rate is as high as 99% … It can almost be said that there's no way out …"
"Yes." Yan Lang nodded with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"This group of little fellows is really disappointing.
It seems that I overestimated their courage.
My design for the training field behind the fifth door was for nothing.
However, it's really ironic. Judging from the current situation, the first four gates have all been mixed with mutated Demon Emperors … The death rate will skyrocket. In fact, the difficulty of the trial is already comparable to that of the fifth gate … "
"Oh, Master, it's a pity that those stupid guys won't understand this …" Another female mutated Demon Emperor smiled charmingly.
At this moment!
"Ah?!!!!
Master!
A fellow wearing a silver mask had entered the fifth door!
This … this guy … "Several mutated Demon Emperors stared at the light curtain in the palace and screamed at the same time as if they found it unbelievable!
There was actually a participant in the trial field with a death rate of 99%!
"This guy?"
Even Yan Lang was a little surprised now. "This little guy is a bit interesting … Hahahaha … Good, good, in this way, the death trial field I designed can be used.
Well, let's see if this little guy can fight his way out of a dead end.
I'll observe this little guy carefully. "
…
At the most critical moment when the five gates were about to be completely closed, Xiao Han also made up his mind and directly made his own choice!
Enter the fifth gate!
This choice could be called thrilling.
But after thinking about it carefully, this was also the only feasible choice for Xiao Han!
Xiao Han could see clearly that there were mutated Demon Emperors entering the first four gates, which was bound to cause a bloody storm. Besides, even without the interference of the mutated Demon Emperors, Xiao Han would be besieged by many Demon Emperors with ordinary bloodlines if he entered any of the gates.
With Xiao Han's current combat strength, it would be a bit difficult for him to face more than three peak-stage high-level Demon Emperors alone, and he could barely protect himself.
Once he faced more than five peak-stage high-level Demon Emperors, he would almost certainly die.
Since he would die anyway, he might as well risk his life to enter the death trial field behind the fifth gate for the one percent chance of survival!
After Xiao Han entered the fifth gate, the five gates were all closed!
Xiao Han was the only one who chose to enter the death trial field behind the fifth gate!
…
"Huh?"
At this moment, Xiao Han looked around.
He had already arrived at the trial field behind the fifth gate!
It was a large area of ruins!
Mist churned in the air, causing the surroundings to be hazy.
Xiao Han could faintly see collapsed palaces everywhere, and the ground was covered in rubble and dilapidated walls, causing it to be an expanse of desolation.
It gave Xiao Han a sense of vicissitude.
"This is the trial field behind the fifth gate, which is said to have a mortality rate of 99% and a survival rate of only 1% …"
Xiao Han tensed up and the strength of his body began to surge, making a grinding sound. The light around him was slightly distorted.
At the same time, demonic light flashed on his left arm. With the replenishment of the Heavenly Desolate Demonic Fruit, every drop of demonic power in his 99999 demonic meridians had been fully replenished.
Xiao Han was facing a formidable enemy.
"Since it's the death trial field, this place that looks like an ancient relic must be full of dangers and dangers …" Xiao Han slowly released his psychic wave to sense and scan a small area, while moving his feet slightly.
In such an environment, Xiao Han didn't dare to move too much.
At this moment …
"Well, little guy, your courage is really commendable.
Out of all the ordinary Demonic Emperor level beings that participated in the grand ceremony, you were the only one that chose the death trial field behind the fifth gate.
Now, your every move is under the observation of Grandmaster Yan Lang!
Hahahahaha!
To be personally observed by Grandmaster Yan Lang, what an honor it is!
Hahahaha!
Perform well!
Perhaps you will have the chance to become Grandmaster Yan Lang's follower! "
The Monster Race Great Emperor's voice rumbled above the ruins.
Xiao Han subconsciously looked up. In the misty skies, in the north, south, east, and west, there was a demon eye floating in the air, calmly watching everything that happened in this world of ruins.
"These demon eyes must be able to record my every move and transmit it to Yan Lang …" Xiao Han was well aware of this.
"How ironic. I and tens of thousands of Demonic Emperor level beings have become Yan Lang's puppets …"
Xiao Han's heart was filled with hatred.
"Alright, I will now announce the rules of the death trial field to you. Listen carefully." The Monster Race Great Emperor's voice said again.
Xiao Han held his breath and pricked up his ears.
"First of all, in this death trial field, there is an extremely terrifying enemy. He is waiting for an opportunity to strike. At any moment, he will pounce on you and kill you."
"In this death trial field, there is indeed a treasure medicine placed there. This treasure medicine can cause your ordinary bloodline to mutate."
"In order to pass this death trial field, the only condition is to find that treasure medicine while avoiding the pursuit of that terrifying enemy.
That treasure medicine is placed within a mechanism. Once you obtain the treasure medicine, the mechanism will activate and you will be transported out of this trial field. "
"Now, I must remind you that the enemy you will face is the mortal enemy of our monster race, a human hero!
Moreover, this monster hero is not an ordinary monster hero. Rather, he is ranked on the human race's monster hero ranking list. He is an all-powerful character that can shake the heavens and earth.
It is absolutely impossible for you to defeat him. Although his current combat strength has been greatly reduced, if he wants to kill you, it will be as easy as lifting a hand.
What you need to do is to avoid his attacks and even try your best to deal with him within these ruins. Do not let him lock onto your position.
Of course, you must also use every possible method to find that treasure medicine. "
"Ah?!!!!" At this moment, Xiao Han's heart was completely filled with shock. It was simply incomparable.
"This death trial field has an ancient monster of the human race!
This … This … Could it be … Could it be … "
"Hahahaha … Alright, let's begin the death trial.
That's right, let me give you one last reminder. That ancient monster of the human race has already lost his mind and has become a deranged lunatic … The reason why this trial field is called the death trial field is because this ancient monster of the human race has killed countless of our kind in his life. He has even killed an existence that had just become a Great Emperor of our monster race … His ability to judge the demonic aura is incomparable. Thus, he will be able to find you in the shortest amount of time possible and launch a fatal attack against you!
Once you are targeted by him, you will be in great danger.
Thus, you must hurry up and find the treasure medicine hidden within the ruins. Then, you must activate the teleportation formation and leave this trial field.
But now, the time left for you is extremely limited … Mm, good luck … "
The voice of the Great Emperor of the Demon Race disappeared without a trace.
However, the shock in Xiao Han's heart grew stronger and stronger … "An ancient monster of the human race?
He once killed a Great Emperor of the Demon Race?
And now, he is a deranged lunatic? "
"I … I … I think I know who this guy is!"
Right now, Xiao Han's heart was simply filled with surprise and joy!
… …
… …
