683 Demon Realm Ancestral Court, Brutal Selection (2)

The temple was made of green boulders. Although it was not beautiful, it had a unique style.

Upon entering the temple, he saw a statue that was hundreds of feet tall.

This statue had the head of a human and the body of a snake. It was 70 to 80% similar to the legendary Nuwa1 in Zhou Shu’s previous life.

When Zhou Shu first learned about the appearance of the Demon Ancestor, he really almost treated her as Nuwa. However, there were no legends of Nuwa in the Demon Realm, and the Demon Ancestor was not Nuwa.

Zhou Shu sized up the statue of the Demon Ancestor. He could vaguely feel a hidden power circulating on the statue.

His pupils constricted slightly. As expected, there’s still some residual power of the Demon Ancestor.

The reason why the Demon Kings wanted to carry out the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm under the witness of the Demon Ancestor was presumably because of the power left behind by the Demon Ancestor.

The process of meeting the Demon Ancestor was very simple. Zhou Shu and the Demon Kings lined up, bowed to the statue of the Demon Ancestor, and stated their purpose for coming.

When the statue emitted a weak light, it meant that the Demon Ancestor had agreed.

At this moment, Zhou Shu sensed that the Demon Realm Ancestral Court seemed to tremble slightly. An indescribable power flowed through the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, and then a light landed in front of the temple.

After the light disappeared, dozens of figures had already appeared in the empty space in front of the temple. They were Yao Buqi and the others who had come to participate in the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.

Yao Qing was also among them.

Zhou Shu and the Demon Kings arrived in front of the temple, stood on the steps, looked at the demonic beasts below, and shouted, “Verify your identity!”

Dozens of Demon Mirrors appeared in the air. The demonic beasts lined up and walked to the Demon Mirrors.

Zhou Shu looked at the Demon Mirrors in the air. With so many Demon Mirrors, Ji Lutian must have made a fortune.

He has to thank me. If I hadn’t pretended to be Liu’Er, why would the Demon Kings order so many Demon Mirrors?

I have to get a share of the earnings from Ji Lutian later!

Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi and Sun Chuang.

Sun Chuang had never seen so many powerful demonic beasts before. Now, he was nervously following behind Yao Buqi, wondering what would happen to him.

Yao Buqi was also very nervous. If Sun Chuang was discovered to be a human, how should he explain it?

Would these Demon Kings believe his explanation?

Or would they just kill him?

Why isn’t King Zhou here yet?

Yao Buqi’s mind was in a mess, and he couldn’t calm down.

Soon, Yao Buqi and Sun Chuang arrived in front of a Demon Mirror.

“You first.” Yao Buqi pushed Sun Chuang as his mind raced. If it shows that he’s a human later, I must attack immediately to prove my innocence!

Sun Chuang looked around. All the demonic beasts were all looking at him.

It was impossible to refuse, but what if…

Sigh… I didn’t expect that I, Sun Chuang, the sect master of the Demon God Sect, would end up like this. Sun Chuang steeled his heart and looked at the Demon Mirror.

The mirror flashed, revealing a reflection.

The reflection looked like a wolf.

A werewolf? Yao Buqi’s eyes lit up. I knew he was a human-demon!

Sun Chuang was stunned. What is going on? Am I really not human?

Am I really a mix of human and demon?

No wonder he had a special feeling when he saw demonic beasts since he was young. It turned out that he was a human-demon…

Sun Chuang didn’t even know how he had left the Demon Mirror. After a long while, he still hadn’t recovered from his shock.

No one would be able to accept the fact that they were not human.

None of the demonic beasts present noticed that a strange smile had appeared on a Demon King’s face.

Those qualified to participate in the Holy Son selection were all geniuses among demonic beasts, so there were naturally not many of them.

Even with their followers, there were only a hundred demonic beasts.

Soon, all the demonic beasts passed the test of the Demon Mirror.

This made the Demon Kings heave a sigh of relief. They were really worried that fake demonic beasts would sneak in. This was the Demon Realm Ancestral Court!

“Since there are no problems, let the trial officially begin.” The one who spoke was Demon King Ao. He took a step forward and raised his voice. “In the past, in the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, it was always them fighting each other head-to-head. The one who won in the end was the Holy Son.

“This time, I want to do it a different way.”

When Zhou Shu said this, Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings were stunned. Demon King Ao didn’t discuss this with them beforehand!

“Demon King Ao, that doesn’t seem appropriate,” Tiangou said coldly. “In our Demon Realm, strength is the most important thing. The Holy Son of the Demon Realm naturally has to be the strongest of the younger generation. This has been the tradition for many years. There’s no need to change it.”

“Strength is the most important thing in the Demon Realm. There’s naturally no need to change this,” Zhou Shu said indifferently.

“But recently, there have been many things happening in the Demon Realm. If we don’t make some changes, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deal with them.

“In the past, although some strength could be seen through the selection method, a competition was ultimately just a competition.

“This time, I suggest that we use actual combat to select the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. Only then can they truly show their strength.”

“Demon King Ao, do you mean for them to fight to their death?” Tiangou and the other Demon Kings frowned.

“Demon King Ao, these young demonic beasts are the future of the Demon Realm. If any one of them dies, it will be our loss,” Tiangou said in a low voice. “They’re not ordinary demonic beasts. They can’t just die.”

“Hmph, how can they become stronger if they’re afraid of death?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “Or do they think that participating in actual combat is suicide? In that case, what right do they have to become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm?”

“Demon King Ao, you’re too much!” He Yuan couldn’t help saying.

Demon Kings didn’t care about the life and death of ordinary demonic beasts. But those who participated in the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm were not ordinary demonic beasts. They were not the kind of demonic beasts that could die so easily.

“I haven’t finished speaking. How can you say I’m too much?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “We’ve all come this far through countless battles.

“If they’re afraid of death, they shouldn’t have come here.

“My suggestion is to throw them all into a certain area. The one who can walk out standing is the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.

“If you can’t win and don’t want to die, just admit defeat and beg for mercy.”

“Throw them into an area and let them fight?” Tiangou frowned.

“What do you think?” Zhou Shu’s gaze swept across Yao Buqi and the others.

Yao Buqi lowered his head, his eyes flickering. The shock in his heart couldn’t be greater.

He recognized that the Demon King Ao on stage was fake!

That’s right! He was very sure that it was definitely not Demon King Ao but Zhou Shu!

He couldn’t imagine how Zhou Shu had done it.

It was Demon King Ao!

In that case, won’t my chances of becoming the Holy Son of the Demon Realm increase infinitely?

After Yao Buqi recovered from his shock, he was overjoyed.

Demon King Ao is one of the judges. If he helps me, how can I not become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm?

Working with King Zhou is really the best move I’ve ever made!

Yao Buqi clenched his fists and forced himself not to cry out.

“There’s no difference. In any case, I’ll win in the end,” a demonic beast said arrogantly.

“Not necessarily,” Yao Qing said coldly.

“What do you think?” Zhou Shu ignored their argument and looked at Tiangou and the other Demon Kings.

The Demon Kings pondered for a moment and said, “That works too. Under the witness of the Demon Ancestor, even if there’s a chaotic battle, no demonic beast can play any tricks. This saves us time. Otherwise, watching their fights one by one would be annoying.”

“Since no one has any objections, let’s do it.” Zhou Shu said. “Let’s see how big this battleground needs to be.”
