Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

Zhu Li looked at the little sable and nodded, then withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "I think everyone knows the purpose of summoning us here today. The clan leader has been in seclusion for a hundred years..."

Zhu Li spoke at length, but in short, the purpose of this gathering at the ancestral temple was to select a true candidate for clan leader.

Furthermore, the most basic rules must be used: the winner takes all!

"In the end, it all comes down to fighting, doesn't it?" Wu Chong said, pursing his lips.

"This is the most direct and simplest way," Little Mink said calmly.

“Indeed,” Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, “Be careful later. That Hao Jiuyou is not simple. He probably has the methods of the Otherworldly Demon.”

Upon hearing this, the little ferret's eyes narrowed slightly, and it nodded, saying, "I will be careful."

"Do you two have any objections to the Elders' Council's decision?" Zhu Li asked, looking at Xiao Diao and the other man.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jiuyou smiled slightly and was about to shake his head when someone beside him suddenly said, "Elder, it is said that a few days ago someone tried to recklessly rush into the Heavenly Cave. Such behavior violates the clan rules."

Zhu Li frowned slightly and glanced at the person next to Hao Jiuyou. He naturally knew about this matter, but he did not intend to make a fuss about it. Now that it had been brought up in public, it seemed inappropriate for him not to say something.

Just then, Hao Jiuyou stepped forward to plead for Xiao Diao and reprimanded the man from before, thereby gaining the favor of many clansmen.

So the duel proceeded as planned.

Before long, the two of them arrived at an open space in the center of the ancestral temple.

"Hehe, Brother A Diao, it's been a hundred years since we last met. I hope you can enlighten me today," Hao Jiuyou said with a fist and a smile to Xiao Diao.

“You’ve changed quite a bit,” Xiao Diao glanced at Hao Jiuyou. The boy who had stood before him for the first time was now completely transformed.

"Brother A Diao, please go easy on me when we fight later."

Hao Jiuyou had a smile on his face, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes; instead, there was an icy coldness in them.

He wanted everyone to know that this once most dazzling genius in the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan would now be trampled under his feet!

"boom!"

The moment his voice fell, an astonishing aura burst forth from his body. Vast Yuan Power surged around Hao Jiuyou, with the life and death energies perfectly fused within it, clearly indicating that he was a true Reincarnation Realm expert.

The little sable took a step forward, and an equally powerful aura spread out, completely suppressing the aura from Hao Jiuyou. Then, it gently bent its hands, and sharp arcs of purple-black light flashed and jumped between its ten fingers.

“Brother A Diao, it seems you haven’t wasted these past hundred years. Back then, you didn’t even reach the Reincarnation Realm,” Hao Jiuyou said with a smile. However, there was no surprise in his eyes, clearly indicating that he had long been aware of Xiao Diao’s strength.

"But I wonder, today, is your Reincarnation Realm stronger, or mine is superior!"

A cold light flashed in Hao Jiuyou's eyes. With a swift movement, he appeared around Xiao Diao like a ghost, then transformed into afterimages. Each afterimage had ten curled fingers, exuding extremely sharp and cold energy, mercilessly attacking Xiao Diao's vital points.

"You've mastered the demonic illusion technique within the clan to perfection, but it's of no use to me."

Little Marten stared at the afterimages that came into view, then let out a cold laugh. A purple-black light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly struck out with his palm. Vast Yuan Power rose in his palm like a blazing sun.

Bang!

Xiao Diao's palm struck a residual image heavily, and then many other shadows collapsed instantly, revealing Hao Jiuyou's figure. He placed two fingers on Xiao Diao's palm, and his entire arm was filled with boundless Yuan Power.

"Click".

The bluestone slabs beneath their feet cracked due to the Yuan energy leaking out when their fingers touched.

"If you want to defeat me, come at me head-on. Such tactics are useless against me," Xiao Diao glanced at Hao Jiuyou in front of him and said indifferently.

The two fought fiercely and intensely, with neither able to gain the upper hand for a long time.

However, suddenly, Hao Jiuyou's strength seemed to have increased dramatically, and he directly defeated Xiao Diao.

"How is this possible? Just now, Hao Jiuyou was only able to fight A Diao to a draw. How did his strength suddenly increase so much?" Wu Chong stared at this scene, his hands clenching tightly as he angrily asked.

Lin Fan said softly, "Then Hao Jiuyou must have used the power of the Otherworldly Demon to temporarily enhance his strength."

"Damn it, Brother Lin Fan, let's tell the elders about this," Wu Chong said to Lin Fan, his face flashing with anger.

Lin Fan shook his head slightly, "We have no evidence. If we talk about these things now, it will only make the elders think that Xiao Diao is a sore loser and is deliberately slandering Hao Jiuyou."

"Then what do we do?" Wu Zhong scratched his head and said in a muffled voice.

"Forget it, let's go back first. I just hope Lin Dong can wake my father up," Xiao Diao said, shaking his head slightly.

"Hehe, they're here," Lin Fan chuckled upon hearing this.

"Who's here?" Wu Zhong asked, puzzled.

Little Mink's eyes suddenly lit up. "You mean, Lin Dong rescued my father?"

"Mm," Lin Fan nodded gently.

As the three were exchanging whispers, Lin Dong and the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan appeared one after the other on the Ancestral Temple Square.

After Lin Dong pointed out that Hao Jiuyou had used the power of the alien demon, two elders who supported Hao Jiuyou were about to attack Lin Dong, but were stopped by the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan.

"Welcome, Clan Chief!"

Upon seeing their patriarch appear, the members of the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan were all excited, knelt down, and spoke respectfully.

Of the entire Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, only Little Sable remained standing.

"You unfilial son, so you're still alive," the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan said, his gaze falling on the little sable, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Little Mink glanced at the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan Chief, his lazy voice showing little reverence: "Old man, are you so eager to see your child outlive you?"

"Outrageous and unruly!" the chieftain of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan rebuked.

However, the smile on his face revealed just how happy he was to see his son, who had been missing for a hundred years.

"Clan leader, you've finally emerged from seclusion!" Zhu Li stood up and appeared in front of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan leader, a look of joy appearing on his old face.

"Elder, you have truly disappointed me this time," the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan Chief said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed as he looked at Zhu Li.

"Clan leader?" Zhu Li was taken aback, clearly not understanding where the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan leader's accusation came from.

With a stern face, the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan recounted the events that had occurred inside the Heavenly Cave to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Li and the others broke out in a cold sweat, filled with lingering fear.

Subsequently, under the influence of the Ancestral Stone in Lin's hands, the two elders were forced to reveal their demonic energy, which also forced Hao Jiuyou to admit his identity.

Hao Jiuyou even revealed that he had secretly harmed Xiao Diao back then, as well as that he had planted the Eternal Illusion Demon Flower in the Heavenly Cave.

"Hao Jiuyou, I will personally capture you. You are not worthy of this bloodline, so I will extract it from you!"

Zhu Li's tone was icy. He then took a step forward and appeared in front of Hao Jiuyou. His vast Yuan Power surged towards the latter.

"Haha," Hao Jiuyou laughed loudly upon seeing this, and then his body trembled as a black fragrance emanated from his body.

"Elder, be careful! That's the illusory fragrance of the Eternal Illusion Flower. If you inhale it, you'll fall into an illusion!" Lin Dong's eyes narrowed, and he quickly warned.

Upon hearing Lin Dong's shout, Zhu Li's expression changed. With a flick of his sleeve, his Yuan Power shot out like a rainbow, shattering all the black fragrance that was entwining him.

"My body is filled with the illusory fragrance of the Eternal Illusion Flower. Once you kill me, my body will self-destruct, and the illusory fragrance will envelop the entire Heavenly Demon Sable Clan. You will all fall into the illusion. At that time, perhaps the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan will be wiped out from this world," Hao Jiuyou said, opening his arms and laughing loudly.

However, Hao Jiuyou's smile quickly faded.

Because Lin Dong took out the Ancestral Stone and used it to purify all the illusory fragrance.

Without the protective fragrance, Hao Jiuyou was quickly and severely injured by Elder Zhu Li.

A ruthless glint flashed in Hao Jiuyou's eyes. He formed a hand seal and then suddenly clenched his fists at the two elders who had been trapped by the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan Chief.

"boom!"

As he clenched his fist, the bodies of the two elders exploded. Amidst the billowing blood mist, dense evil demonic energy spread out and quickly converged in front of Hao Jiuyou, transforming into an extremely large black vortex.

Hao Jiuyou's eyes were filled with madness. He drew his fingers across his shoulder, and blood spurted out along with his severed arm, rushing into the black vortex.

"Welcome to the arrival of our King! Let us slaughter the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan!"

Blood surged into the black vortex, and Hao Jiuyou knelt down, his face displaying unparalleled fanaticism and piety.

"Ah!"

The black vortex spun wildly, emanating countless shrill screams that echoed throughout the world, causing one's blood to surge and churn.

"All tribesmen, heed my command! Prepare for battle!"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Li roared, and then countless whooshing sounds echoed across the sky as figures appeared, their powerful auras filling the heavens and earth.

Chapter 456 Two Demon Kings, a Terrifying Illusion Array! [Please Read On]

"Om."

The black vortex continued to spin, and then Lin Fan and the others saw deep footsteps coming from the depths of the vortex.

Then, two pairs of pale arms, exuding an evil aura, slowly emerged from the depths of the vortex and pressed against its edge.

Then, two pale, slightly eerie faces appeared under the gaze of countless eyes.

A black vortex, like the gaping maw of a demon, slowly rotated in the sky, from which endless evil demonic energy poured out, causing the temperature of the world to drop. The originally dense primordial energy of heaven and earth also scattered away as if it had encountered something extremely hateful.

Before the vortex, two figures stood in mid-air. They were dressed in black robes, with long black hair casually draped over their shoulders. Their faces were quite similar, and they both looked sickly pale. The corners of their lips were curved upwards, giving them a rather sinister look.

The two appeared without saying a word, but everyone could feel an indescribable pressure enveloping the world.

All the members of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, even the clan leader, had a solemn expression on their usually calm faces.

They were actually two Demon Kings!

These are two genuine peak Reincarnation Realm experts. Even the Heavenly Demon Mink Clan cannot underestimate such a lineup.

"Hehe, so you are the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan. Judging from your appearance, you have actually escaped the illusion of the Eternal Illusion Flower?"

The two demon kings, with their slightly narrow eyes, looked around the world before fixing their gaze on the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan, and said with a smile.

"Two Demon Kings, that's quite a move. It seems you've been eyeing my Heavenly Demon Sable Clan for quite some time now, haven't you?" the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan Chief said calmly. "State your names."

"Hehe, I am Tianhuan Wang," the man in black smiled slightly. If it weren't for the evil demonic aura emanating from his face, he would have had a rather refined air.

"I am the Earth Illusion King," another Demon King said with a smile.

Next, the two Demon Kings learned from Hao Jiuyou that Lin Dong had ruined their plan by rescuing the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan Chief. They also learned that the Ancestral Stone was in Lin Dong's hands, so they launched another plan!

That is, to directly use the Eternal Illusion Flower to set up an endless illusion array and completely annihilate the Heavenly Demon Sable Clan!

"Buzz!"
