146: The Infernal Demon Legion, Legion Skill 'Heaven and Earth Shattering', the Top 100 Tournament, cruel rules.

Blaze Demon Clan?

Su Bai was startled, recalling information about this race in his mind.

They live in magma zones, are a subterranean race within planets, and due to their special physique, the hotter the environment, the more their combat power increases.

Conversely,

When they arrive in cold environments, they become listless, and in severe cases, their flames might even extinguish, turning them into a pile of rubble.

None of this is important.

The true core point is that the Blaze Demon Clan is also an evolutionary branch of the Titan transcendent race!

Moreover,

They are even closer to the Titan Giant bloodline than the Mountain Titans!

"Killing this batch of Blaze Demons and seizing their bloodline can accelerate the formation of the Titan Legion!"

It has been a long time since the Rumbling Army awakened their bloodline, yet they still haven't awakened. This indicates that their internal bloodline is too weak. If they could be stimulated by the Blaze Demon bloodline,

They would be able to complete their transformation and advance to Gold Rank!

Thinking of this,

Su Bai glanced at the clock in the room again:

"November 1, 2049, 21:00 deep in the night."

"Only three hours left until the Top 100 Competition begins? That's enough."

Su Bai nodded.

Immediately, in the starry sky, the massive noah's ark began to approach the Star Shard!

...Meanwhile,

As the noah's ark continuously drew closer,

The Blaze Demon Clan living within the Star Shard quickly noticed this.

However,

They didn't panic; instead, they felt a surge of ecstatic joy. A giant Blaze Demon, who appeared to be the race's leader, laughed heartily:

"Heaven never seals off all exits! Drifting through the cosmos for several years, our resources are almost depleted, but finally, at the last moment, we've received a gift from the world!"

He laughed wildly, directly drawing the giant axe from his back.

The Gold Rank aura surged mightily:

"Kill! Get me that iron lump down here! Tonight, all tribesmen will have extra food!"

In his view,

His Gold Rank power was already enough to traverse the cosmos, and even within the powerful Blaze Demon Clan, no tribesman could compare.

It was just an iron lump,

It didn't even emit a trace of aura; it was nothing more than an ant-like existence!

The Blaze Demon Chieftain asserted this.

On the other side,

On the deck of the noah's ark, Luffy had already transformed into his Nika form, with white mist coiling around him like ribbons, looking down at the Blaze Demon Clan, who were shouting and killing.

Not just Luffy,

Everyone behind him also became vigilant.

"Such fighting spirit, it seems like a civilization not weaker than ours!"

"Indeed! Sacred Terra said that the universe is vast, and we must not be careless. It seems we're unlucky, encountering a troublesome race right out of the gate."

"But..."

Kizaru, who was good at slacking off, seemed to notice something amiss and spoke with some hesitation, "The aura of those people below seems a bit weak..."

When these words fell,

The others were stunned, then sensed it themselves. After a moment, a hint of confusion appeared on their faces.

It seems,

Perhaps,

Indeed... they were just a tiny bit weak.

Luffy scratched his head, "Could it be a deliberate show of weakness?"

Unexpectedly, this statement actually received everyone's approval, "That makes sense. I didn't expect these races in the universe to be so cunning. They clearly have similar strength, but they hide it. How despicable!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Of course, we can't fall for their trick!"

The former Fleet Admiral, being most adept at such matters, cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention:

"They are showing weakness to make us relax our guard. Since that's the case, we absolutely cannot let them succeed!"

"I propose using the maximum power of Divine Punishment!"

Sengoku was indeed an old general; his tactics were very steady. To avoid falling into a trap, he directly used full power!

This suggestion was quickly approved.

Finally,

Under Luffy's summons, the noah's ark's ship spirit, Im, appeared. A huge cannon barrel extended from the front of the noah's ark.

The muzzle was pitch black, gleaming with a cold light... Inside,

Endless light and heat converged, and a large amount of cosmic radiation was gathered together. A world-destroying power gradually brewed... Below,

Within the Star Shard, the many Blaze Demons who had been laughing wildly were utterly dumbfounded by this situation.

Especially the Blaze Demon leader,

He felt a huge threat from this cannon, and his entire being froze.

Holy crap!

No, why do I feel like this cannon can instantly kill me?

The question had just arisen,

The next second,

It was confirmed.

In the cosmos, a grand 'firework' bloomed. With just one shot, Divine Punishment descended!

The Star Shard shattered into pieces,

The Blaze Demon Clan within it were turned to ashes before they could even react!

The Blaze Demon Clan, annihilated!

...[Terra Calendar Year 130, the noah's ark discovered a Star Shard. After 'arduous' combat, it successfully defeated the Blaze Demon Clan on it and seized the Star Shard!]

[The Origin Realm absorbed the Star Shard, expanding the world. The land and sea area increased to 88,000 kilometers!]

[At the same time.]

[A special crystal was decomposed from this Star Shard!]

The colorless crystal fell into his palm, as if it contained nothing, yet also as if it bore the weight of the entire world. The description of the crystal also appeared:

heart of the star — Contains the power of an entire star. When detonated, it produces power comparable to a star's self-destruction!

"I didn't expect it to be this thing."

Su Bai was somewhat surprised.

The heart of the star is a consumable energy source. After use, it can generate a large amount of energy and has always been a favorite of certain technological civilizations.

Moreover,

It contains special stellar energy. If one cultivates creatures like Star Devouring Beasts or Sky Devouring Demon Butterflies, this would be one of their favorite foods.

"But for me, it doesn't have much use."

Su Bai shook his head.

This heart of the star was at the satellite level. Although not comparable to planetary or stellar level hearts of the star, it was still something priceless.

If sold, it could easily fetch hundreds of billions.

It was an unexpected bonus.

After putting away the heart of the star, the main event Su Bai had been anticipating was next.

[At the same time.]

[The Pirate civilization, remembering your command, found several lifeblood crystals of the Blaze Demon Clan from the ashes, leaving no trace, after killing them!]

[Containing a trace of pure Titan bloodline!]

[These blood crystals were poured onto the giant wall formed by the Rumbling Army, merging into it and immediately causing a reaction from the sleeping Titans!]

[Rumble...]

[The earth cracked, and scorching heat seeped out from the cracks, carrying a deadly high temperature!]

[The next second.]

[Bang—]

[Earth-shattering!]

[The long-slumbering Rumbling Army, stimulated by this bloodline, finally completed a life-level transformation!]

[Inside their bodies, the concentration of Titan bloodline increased to 1%]

[Not only that.]

[Due to the special nature of the Blaze Demon Clan's bloodline, merging with the Titan bloodline within their bodies, the Rumbling Army evolved!]

[Promoted to the brand new Infernal Flame Demon Clan!]

Infernal Flame Demon: A superior race of the Blaze Demon Clan, capable of continuously enhancing their power by devouring magma, and immune to external weather influences!

[Gold-rank Legion — Purgatory Flame Demon Legion, born!]

[Due to this legion possessing Mythic-level potential, it has nurtured a special Legion Skill 'Heaven and Earth Collapse'!]

[Heaven and Earth Collapse: When the Purgatory Flame Demon Legion gathers, it can trigger celestial phenomena, shake the four directions, and greatly alter the terrain!]

[Transforming any battlefield into a land of magma!]

[Within this magma domain, Infernal Flame Demons will gain temporary immortality. Unless their core is shattered, they can maintain a combat stance, undying and unkillable!]

And the so-called core,

Is the blood crystal of the Infernal Flame Demon, hidden within thick armor. Let alone shattering it, even touching it is extremely difficult.

It's no exaggeration to say,

After using this skill, the Infernal Flame Demon is equivalent to an undying and unkillable legion!

It will definitely give all Creators a headache!

...The Origin Realm gained another powerful transcendent legion!

Su Bai had done everything to the extreme.

The rest,

Was to wait for the Top 100 Competition to begin!

Time slowly flowed... Tonight, no one was destined to sleep. The entire Great Xia Federation, whether Creators or ordinary citizens, eagerly awaited the midnight chime.

Tick, tock, tick... The minute hand continuously advanced, drawing closer to 12 o'clock sharp.

Finally,

The moment the minute hand passed 12 o'clock sharp,

A bell rang in the void, followed by the roar of heavenly dragons, immortal palaces on cloud tops, purple qi coming from the east... and many other auspicious phenomena converging. A majestic voice spread throughout the Great Xia Federation:

"The Top 100 Competition, begins!"

...The moment the words fell,

The silence was broken. Dozens of dazzling lights ascended from various cities of the Great Xia Federation, piercing through the air and disappearing into the horizon!

When Su Bai opened his eyes,

He had disappeared from his original room and arrived in a brand new world.

And what appeared before him,

Was a magnificent and solemn castle. The city walls were stained with blood, and a pale golden light shield protected the castle.

Outside the castle,

Innumerable races surrounded the place, their auras powerful. With just a glance, Su Bai discovered hundreds of different creatures among them!

And their strength was formidable.

Silver, Gold... they were as numerous as cattle, and Su Bai even saw quite a few Diamond Rank ones!

And at the end of this ocean-like army,

Su Bai felt a terrifying pressure that made even him feel a tremor in his heart!

"Legendary..."

He spoke these words with a solemn expression.

At this moment,

The rules of the Top 100 Competition appeared:

[Abyss Lord!]

[All contestants have been teleported to the first layer of the Abyss. You need to survive continuous attacks from Abyss creatures and hold out until the end!]

[By any means necessary, regardless of strength!]

[Only the ten who hold out until the end will advance to the Top 10 Competition. Now... show the world your power!]

[Young Creator!]

After reading it,

Without any extra time given.

The protective light shield disappeared, and the Abyss creatures, like a surging tide, began to attack the castle!
