Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 160 Crushing Strike: The Terrifying Strength of [Eternal Dawn]!
"I never expected my first opponent to be you."

The burly warrior who leaped out from the Warrior's Temple camp looked at the figure opposite him and couldn't help but reveal a helpless, bitter smile.

"Long time no see, Lord Ren." Yuehui smiled slightly, her tone gentle, as if she were reuniting with an old friend.

That's right, standing opposite Moonlight at this moment is none other than the former deputy temple master of the Warrior Temple—Ren Wo Kuang.

Having been stuck at the peak of the eighth rank for many years, he finally broke through after three years of continuous bloody battles and stepped into the realm of the ninth rank.

I shook my head wildly, took a deep breath, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited in my eyes:
"I guess I'm just unlucky to run into someone as powerful as you right away! Come on, let me see for myself just how strong the leader of the [Eternal Dawn] guild, who was able to slay the Seventh Demon God Ananda, really is!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already grasped a terrifying giant axe in each hand, and a thick, earthy-yellow spiritual power surged out, his aura suddenly becoming incredibly wild.

"as you wish."

The Thousand Chance Umbrella in Yuehui's hand suddenly emitted a deep mechanical sound and crackling purple-gold electricity, and instantly expanded and transformed.

It transformed into a long, slender golden spear, its shaft crackling with terrifying purple-gold lightning that hummed incessantly!
"Mighty Dragon - Break Through a Thousand Armies!"

With a low shout, Yuehui's body erupted with dazzling purple-gold lightning, transforming him into a raging thunderbolt tearing through the sky, thrusting straight at Ren Wokuang with unparalleled force!

"Well done! Blood Storm!"

Ren Wo Kuang's eyes suddenly turned a terrifying blood red, and he entered a berserk state without hesitation!
His arms were bulging with muscles, and with his body as the axis, he swung his double axes, creating a destructive whirlwind. A terrifying storm, formed from pure power and blood-red battle intent, suddenly took shape and fiercely met the purple-gold lightning dragon shadow!

boom--!
Thunder and storm collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar, and a violent energy shockwave instantly swept across the entire training ground!
Two completely different and violent energies collided and eroded each other wildly in the air. After only three seconds of stalemate, the bloody and wild axe storm suddenly collapsed under the impact of endless purple-gold lightning, letting out a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden!

"You flatter me." Yuehui flicked her wrist, and the Thousand Machine Spear, wrapped in lightning, fell down. The lightning at the tip of the spear disappeared, and her tone remained calm.

"Huff... Huff..." Ren Wo Kuang leaned on his battle axe, panting heavily. The blood-red berserk state in his eyes had faded, leaving only exhaustion and a trace of disbelief.

He looked up at the moonlight across from him, whose breathing remained as steady as ever, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter self-mockery:

"Seeing a young man like you, I really feel that these past few decades... have been a complete waste of my life."

After saying that, he shook his head, put away his battle axe, and turned back to the VIP seats in the Warrior's Temple with a somewhat dejected look.

"The winner is [Eternal Dawn]!" Yang Haohan's calm voice rang out at the opportune moment, announcing the result of the first match.

Moonlight simply shrugged indifferently and strolled back into the group.

At the same time, a dazzling golden light shone above their team, signifying that their winning record had increased by one point.

The selection of beams of light did not stop. The next moment, two beams of white light descended from the sky again, one enveloping the Knight Temple's camp and the other landing in the direction of the Magic Temple.

Although the demonic offensive has temporarily halted, allowing the alliance to deploy its elite forces for a grand competition, no one knows when the demons will return.

Therefore, the competition schedule was compressed to an extremely tight schedule, and the individual competitions had to be decided within a single day!
The battles came one after another, at a breathtakingly fast pace.

Next to appear were two peak eighth-tier powerhouses—a paladin and a holy mage.

The fierce battle between the two lasted for nearly five minutes, with various combat techniques and high-level magic intertwining and colliding, creating a dazzling spectacle. In the end, the paladin's superior combat skills secured him victory.

……

While the Temple Alliance was busy with the Temple Grand Competition.

Deep within the Demon Heart Palace, in the heart of the Demon Realm.

"By now, the powerful figures on the human side must have all gathered in the Holy City, right?" The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu's deep voice echoed between the thrones, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

“Yes, the once-a-decade Temple Grand Tournament should have already begun. Ahui… Yuehui, he must be there right now.” Moon Demon God Agares replied.

If the human elites were to learn that the Alliance Tournament, which they consider top secret, was being discussed so clearly among the highest levels of the demon race, they would surely be horrified.

"Those humans will probably never understand, even in their dying days, that their ability to 'successfully' hold this grand competition was entirely due to Big Brother's deliberate arrangement," Star Demon God Vasak added slowly, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

That is indeed the truth. If it weren't for the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu's tacit approval or even encouragement, would he have so decisively ordered all the frontline demon gods to retreat to the heartland after only losing a few demon gods?
One of the purposes of destroying the two titled demon-hunting groups, [The Fall of the Demon God] and [Peerless Heaven], was to severely damage humanity's top combat power.

Another, deeper intention was to clear obstacles for Moonbeam and pave the way for her to ascend to the position of human leader.

Therefore, upon learning that the once-a-decade Holy Alliance Grand Tournament was approaching, Fengxiu went with the flow, temporarily halting the army's offensive and deliberately allowing humanity to hold this "future-determining" tournament.

"Still no news about Austin Griffin?" Feng Xiu changed the subject and asked another crucial question.

“No trace yet. This beast is exceptionally cunning, constantly hiding near the Dragon Pass, as if… as if it could foresee our search intentions.” Agares shook his head, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's gaze suddenly turned deep and cold. After a long silence, he spoke again, issuing an unquestionable order:

"Taking advantage of the current situation where a large number of strong warriors have been drawn from the human frontier, leaving the interior vulnerable, we will select a group of elite juniors from the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan, the Moon Demon Clan, and the Star Demon Clan, and immediately have them secretly infiltrate the human strongholds!"

"Their mission is singular: to find Austin Griffin at all costs!"

Upon hearing this, both the Moon Demon God Agares and the Star Demon God Vasak's expressions darkened slightly, and a hint of imperceptible solemnity and helplessness flashed deep in their eyes.

They all knew that those who carried out this order were almost certainly doomed to never return.

Even if the main human forces are concentrated in the Holy City, there will inevitably be ninth-tier powerhouses stationed at various passes.

The only way to break through the defenses and infiltrate is to traverse treacherous places such as the Demon-Controlling Mountains or the Dragon-Controlling Mountains.

If these mountains were really so easy to traverse, why would they have placed the burden of searching for Austin Griffin on Moonshine's shoulders for so long?
However, faced with the Demon Emperor's unquestionable, even ruthless and resolute will, all concerns and considerations had to be suppressed.

The two men ultimately lowered their heads and solemnly accepted the order.

"yes, Sir."
