Naturally, the seven Overlords witnessed the gambit between Su Zimo and the young master of Levitating Goat Peak.
Although all seven of them had their own thoughts about it, none of them interfered.
To be fair, even the old ape did not favor Su Zimo for this gambit.
However, he believed that Su Zimo naturally had a way of dealing with it.
The Overlord of Levitating Goat Peak had lived for several thousand years and believed in his judgment – there was no way Su Zimo could win this gambit!
Furthermore, even if there were any unexpected changes and Su Zimo won, it was no big deal – the young master of Levitating Goat Peak merely had to eat a Blood Sea Badge.
The other Overlords had their own thoughts as well.
The Overlord of Confusion Mist Swamp said, “This demon’s combat strength is outstanding. However, he’s truly impudent to think that he can get a spot to cultivate within the Blood Sea as a low-level fiend demon.”
“Who knows? He might have something up his sleeves since he’s so firm,” The Overlord of Thousand Snake Island smirked coldly.
Suddenly, the voice of Silvermoon Valley’s Overlord sounded within the consciousnesses of the Overlords of Levitating Goat Peak, Thousand Snake Island and Vermilion Cloud Valley. “I’m not concerned about that, I just want to know what’s the true form of this demon!”
“By taking part in this first trial, this demon definitely has to unlock his consciousness and release his spirit consciousness. That will give us a good chance to probe.”
The gazes of the few Overlords landed on the Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley at the same time.
At that moment, the Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley laid within his carriage with his huge belly propped up. He was merrymaking and looked like a useless bum.
However, the few Overlords knew that among the seven of them, this fatty was the best at probing!
Although the Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley behaved as usual and continued merrymaking with the women around him, his voice echoed in the minds of the few Overlords, “Everyone, don’t worry. When that demon releases his spirit consciousness, I’ll definitely be able to uncover his background!”
The few Overlords were conversing with their spirit consciousnesses and outsiders naturally could not hear it.
The old ape sat quietly on the spot and his eyes opened slightly with a cold glint. As though he sensed something, his white brows fluttered gently!
…
Beside the Blood Sea.
More than a thousand fiend demons were prepared and raring to go.
The young master of Levitating Goat Peak was filled with confidence as he looked at Su Zimo with a provocative expression.
Su Zimo smiled calmly.
He was naturally confident since he dared to take on the gambit!
He had cultivated two legendary Essence Spirits.
Furthermore, the range of his Essence Spirit’s spirit consciousness could already extend to 50 kilometers the moment he advanced to the Nascent Soul realm!
Now that Su Zimo was at the peak of mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, the range of both his scarlet-haired Yin Spirit and black-haired Essence Spirit could now extend more than 250 kilometers!
He could probably extend to 500 kilometers if his Essence Spirits were combined!
For Su Zimo, clearing the first trial was extremely simple.
“Prepare… go!”
With that order, spirit consciousnesses were released one after another around the Blood Sea and extended far into the distance!
One did not only have to locate a Blood Sea Badge to pass the first trial, they had to be the fastest to do so.
Although there were 500 Blood Sea Badges, only the first 100 fiend demons that located them were qualified for the final trial!
Swoosh!
Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness was released as well.
Instantly, countless gazes were fixed on Su Zimo – all of them wanted to see how far his spirit consciousness could extend!
Five kilometers.
25 kilometers…
In the blink of an eye, he was 50 kilometers out!
The demons were alarmed!
50 kilometers was theoretically the limit of a low-level fiend demon’s spirit consciousness.
However, in reality, not many low-level fiend demons could reach that range. Most of them would be deemed exceptional prodigies if they could even reach a range of 40 to 45 kilometers!
However, Su Zimo was already at 50 kilometers in the blink of an eye!
Furthermore, it seemed like he was about to break the 50 kilometers barrier soon!
“He’s really strong! It’s no wonder why he dared to take on the gambit. He’s truly a rare talent found only every thousand… no, ten thousand years!”
“Even if he can extend beyond 50 kilometers, so what? The Blood Sea Badges are only available beyond 250 kilometers, he is still way too far from that.”
“Furthermore, his cultivation realm is clear to all. His spirit consciousness is only going to weaken the further he extends it…”
The voice of the fiend demon softened until he could no longer speak.
That was because he noticed that even after 50 kilometers, Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness showed no signs of slowing down and had even surpassed most of the fiend demons!
“This…”
“This demon is truly…”
The demons present watched with widened eyes, unable to speak any longer.
Right in front of the demons, Su Zimo was at the 100 kilometers range before long!
His spirit consciousness showed no signs of weakness and was far in the lead!
The expression of the young master of Levitating Goat Peak turned grim.
The moment Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness was released, the Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley who was initially merrymaking tossed away his cup of wine.
His eyes widened and his eyeballs bulged in a sinister manner as though they were going to pop out of his sockets!
A resplendent glow filled his eyeballs.
The Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley’s gaze traversed through the voids and delved into Su Zimo’s consciousness instantly.
“How is it?”
The Overlord of Silvermoon Valley frowned and asked with a voice transmission.
The Overlords of Levitating Goat Peak, Thousand Snake Island and Confusion Mist Swamp sent voice transmissions as well; all of them tried to probe but to no avail.
It seemed as though there was an invisible barrier around Mo that could block their senses!
“Strange,”
A moment later, the resplendent glow on the eyeballs of the Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley dissipated and his eyeballs went back to normal as he murmured.
“What’s wrong?”
The Overlord of Silvermoon Valley blurted out with his voice, no longer bothered to use a voice transmission.
The old ape and Overlord of Golden Flames Mountain turned around.
The Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley frowned slightly and said in a slow manner, “The true form of that demon is a human.”
“Hmm?”
The Overlord of Levitating Goat Peak’s gaze turned cold as he spoke with an icy killing intent, “He is a human cultivator?”
“If he’s a human cultivator, we have to kill him on the spot!” The Overlord of Thousand Snake Island added.
“Chi!”
The Overlord of Golden Flames Mountain sneered, “Are the two of you deaf? He just said it himself… ‘that demon’!”
The Overlord of Silvermoon Valley waved it off. “The way he worded it doesn’t matter. What kind of a demon has the true form of a human? He’s definitely a human cultivator!”
“You want to accuse him of being a human and murder him?”
The old ape opened his eyes expressionlessly and said in an idle manner, “Aren’t you being too obvious with your intentions?”
“He is not a human cultivator,”
The Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley shook his head as well. “I can sense a rich demonic qi in his Essence Spirit. That’s definitely not the Essence Spirit of a human cultivator!”
Indeed, the Overlords of Levitating Goat Peak, Silvermoon Valley and Thousand Snake Island wanted to use the fact that Su Zimo was a human cultivator as a legitimate reason to kill the latter. However, they could not do anything about it after the Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley’s remark.
“Moreover…”
The Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley wanted to speak but stopped.
“What more?”
The Overlord of Levitating Goat Peak pressed on.
The Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley said darkly, “Moreover, there seems to be some scales on his human-form Essence Spirit that can’t be seen clearly.”
“Scales?”
The few Overlords frowned.
The old ape replied indifferently, “Don’t forget the roots of our demon race. Back in the primordial era, it was extremely common to see human-shaped living beings in the barren lands as well.”
The Overlord of Golden Flames Mountain nodded. “That makes sense. He must have inherited the bloodline of a living being from the primordial era. That’s probably the only reason why he possesses such immense potential!”
The Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley was about to continue speaking when a shriek sounded from the side.
“Hurry, look! He’s gone beyond 250 kilometers!”
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat and they turned over.
The gaze of the Overlord of Vermilion Cloud Valley shimmered for a moment and he did not continue speaking.
There was something that he did not add on: the scales on that human-form living being did not resemble the scales of an ordinary demon beast!
