Chapter 342: A Chaotic Melee Breaks Out, At Least You Know What’s Good For You

The competition started right away after the three parties exchanged their greetings with one another.

The rules of the competition were very simple. All three parties could dispatch an unlimited number of experts to take part in a chaotic melee battle. It would do as long as 36 victors remained standing in the end.

The rules were very simple.

To sum it up, it was a melee.

Of course, while they could theoretically send an unlimited number of experts, only a few truly qualified to take part in the melee. Weaklings would just be throwing their lives away if they entered the battle!

“A melee? Tsk, tsk. As expected of the demons. Even their process of filtering people for entrance slots is done in such a simple and crude way!”

Dodola couldn’t help but marvel after hearing the competition rules.

“The demon world is exactly a simple one like that!”

Meng Lei smiled and said, “The strong ones will last till the end, while the weak ones take the initiative to withdraw or lose their lives mid-way. This will continue until only 36 candidates remain.”

After a moment’s thought, Dodola said, “All of you are mid-level Great Demon Gods, so the difference in strength among everyone isn’t very great. As long as you keep your guard up, you’ll be able to get out of there safely, even in the worst of scenarios. The likelihood that someone will kill you isn’t high.”

“That’s true.” Meng Lei nodded and said, “Only three unlucky fellows died during the last melee.”

“Only three? As expected, indeed!”

Dodola shook its head. Then, its eyes suddenly swiveled, and it wondered aloud, “I wonder how many will die this time?”

“If it’s possible, I hope they all die!”

Meng Lei licked his lips, the burning heat in his eyes barely concealed. A mid-level Great Demon God was worth 60 million Divinity Crystals, so that meant 10 of them would be worth 600 million Divinity Crystals.

100 of them would be worth six billion Divinity Crystals...

And 300 of them would be worth 18 billion Divinity Crystals!

It seemed like the amount of rewards he would get would be enough for him to ascend to Great Perfection-level if he could kill all those mid-level Great Demon Gods!

Meng Lei was so excited that he couldn’t quite suppress the overwhelming power inside his body anymore. He was ready to run wild!

“Everyone, I’m leaving everything in your hands!”

The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor’s gaze swept across Meng Lei and the other 107 Prefecture Masters as he gave them one last bout of encouragement. He said, “The Boundless Plane is the place that the Boundless King had used as his base before he became a Chief God. The Boundless King had managed the place for countless years, and an infinite number of treasures is contained within.

“Among which, there is no lack of supreme treasures such as Demon Grandmaster-level demonic weapons, and Demon Grandmaster remains. Whether or not you can go in there and bring those treasures out will depend on yourselves!”

All the Prefecture Masters’ eyes burned with passion at the mention of Demon Grandmaster-level demonic weapons and remains, their inner desires barely concealable.

If they could obtain those treasures and successfully refine them in the Boundless Plane, their strength would undergo a tremendous change!

When that happened, perhaps they would be strong enough to contend against the three rulers upon their return to Dark Hell Continent?

The Prefecture Masters hastily promised, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty! We’ll definitely do our very best!”

“Great!”

Highly satisfied with their responses, an unusual glint flashed across the Demonic Emperor’s eyes, and he said, “Go on your way!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

All 108 Prefecture Masters then took flight into the sky.

At the same time, the many experts from the Fallen Empire and the Three-Headed Hell Kingdom also rose into the air. Upon reaching the skies, all three parties got into a triangular formation and stayed there.

All set for a showdown, they gazed at one another.

“It’s starting!”

“The battle’s right about to start!”

All the demons here to watch the battle got into a state of excitement. Their eyes brimmed with anticipation and shone brightly.

“The melee’s about to begin!”

Euphemia, the sensual Three-Headed Hell Kingdom Empress, asked with a bright smile, “Which country do you think will be the one with the highest number of candidates remaining this time?”

The Fallen Empire’s emperor replied aloofly, “It’s still unclear at the moment which country will have the highest number of candidates remaining, but the one with the fewest remaining is undoubtedly the Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom. There’s no doubt about that.”

“Hehe, don’t say that out loud. Isaiah won’t be happy to hear that!” Euphemia held her hand over her sexy ruby-red lips as she giggled.

Had he been mocked like that in the past, the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor would already have dissed them back a long time ago. This time, however, not only did he not get mad, but he even gave them a somewhat profound smile and said, “There’s no point in saying that much. We’ll just wait and see!”

Both Euphemia and Alec were slightly taken aback at the sight of the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor’s expression. What was the matter with Isaiah? Why was he behaving somewhat differently from before?

Boom!

The battle in the sky had broken out.

“Attack!”

“Kill!”

“The Boundless Plane is ours!”

People from all three factions clashed with a great boom, and a shocking grand melee thus began.

Boom, boom, boom!

It took only a mere instant for the sky above to break and form into a black hole. The whole place within millions of kilometers of where they were was completely filled with havoc-wreaking rushes of energy waves and space-time fluxes.

The scene was as though doomsday had come. The hearts of the demons watching the battle pounded with fear and trepidation. Some even developed the urge to make a run for it. They were really afraid that they might become collateral damage if they stayed there any longer!

There were a total of over 300 mid-level Great Demon Gods from all three factions. Every one of them was brimming with bloodlust. They attacked anyone who dared so much as to go near them without any questions.

True enough, Meng Lei was besieged by a Thunder Great Demon God and a Wind Great Demon God the moment the melee started. The former was bathed in lightning while the latter rode the winds, and they lunged toward him with fierce momentum.

“You’re new, aren’t you, kid?”

“Kekeke, offer up your life!”

The two demons knew right away that Meng Lei was a newbie the moment they took a look at him. Immense bloodlust welled up within them, and they charged toward him at once.

“Have I been taken as an easy target?”

Meng Lei rubbed his nose lightly.

“Keke! Newbies will be newbies. He’s already scared witless! Now, die!”

A lightning whip appeared in the Thunder Great Demon God’s hand and lashed right at Meng Lei. Unlike ordinary electricity currents, the lightning whip was formed from Black Lightning of Destruction instead.

Black Lightning of Destruction was a special ability exclusive to Thunder Demons. On top of that, it was a skill that boasted extremely fearsome might, and only Thunder Demons that had cultivated to the point of Great Demon God stage could awaken the ability.

The Thunder Great Demon God had absolute confidence that the lashing from the whip could maim, if not kill, most mediocre mid-level Great Demon Gods, so how would a newbie possibly be able to withstand it?

However, what happened next was completely out of their expectations. Despite being up against a destructive lightning whip capable of destroying all in the world, Meng Lei easily caught the lightning whip in his hand in one grab.

“Huh?”

The Thunder Great Demon God’s jaw dropped, unable to believe what it was seeing. He had actually caught it so easily?

“Come over here!”

Meng Lei took the opportunity while it was still staring blankly to tug at the lightning whip, easily pulling the Thunder Great Demon God over to him.

“Die!”

Meng Lei bent his fingers and flicked them, his finger tapping the Thunder Great Demon God in between its brows.

“Ugh!”

A soft sound rang out. A stream of blood spurted from the back of the Thunder Great Demon God’s head, and then a bloody hole as wide as a fingertip appeared at the back of its head.

The Thunder Great Demon God stiffened at once. The light in its eyes gradually dimmed until, at last, it died completely.

Meng Lei gouged out its demonic core and tossed its dead body into the Tower of Time. Then, he turned to the Wind Great Demon God, who was so frightened that it just stood on the spot.

“It has already died. You can go on your way now, too!”

Meng Lei teleported right in front of the Wind Great Demon God. A golden dagger appeared in his hand and slashed lightly across the Wind Great Demon God’s throat.

“Ugh!”

Streams of blood spurted from the wound as a huge head rushed into the sky. Meng Lei then sent the flying head and body into the Tower of Time with a casual wave.

“Who’s he?”

With a few hundred Great Demon Gods fighting it out, the battleground was naturally an incredibly chaotic one. While Meng Lei killing two Great Demon Gods in a row had gone unnoticed by the other Great Demon Gods in the battle, some of the spectators had noticed it.

“What the heck! That guy’s so savage! He’s killed two mid-level Great Demon Gods just like that?”

“Who exactly is he? Isn’t he too powerful?!”

“Isaiah, if memory serves me right, he should be one of your men?” Euphemia, the Three-Headed Hell Empress, had lost her calm composure, and her expression had turned rather awful-looking.

The Thunder Great Demon God and the Wind Great Demon God that Meng Lei had just killed were from the Three-Headed Hell Kingdom.

“Not bad!”

Highly satisfied with Meng Lei’s combat power, a slight smile appeared on the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor’s countenance. He said, “He’s from the Ice Demon Prefecture and is the newly-appointed Ice Demon Prefecture Master of Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom.”

“The Ice Demon Prefecture Master?”

Euphemia said gravely, “Little did I think that a fellow like that had actually emerged under your command! I’ve underestimated the Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom.”

“Underestimate? We haven’t even gone that far yet.” The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor shook his head and chuckled softly. He said, “Just watch on. My Ice Demon Prefecture Master will definitely give you guys a great surprise!”

“Hmph!”

Euphemia couldn’t be bothered to pay any more attention to the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor. Instead, she shifted her gaze to Meng Lei, who was in the sky.

Alec, the Fallen Emperor, was also paying close attention to Meng Lei. For him to be able to instantly kill a mid-level Great Demon God, such combat strength was practically too fearsome. Even if he wasn’t a high-level Great Demon God yet, he wouldn’t be that far off, either.

“120 million Divinity Crystals into the pocket! Sweet!”

Earning 120 million Divinity Crystals so easily had totally ignited the greed dwelling within Meng Lei’s heart.

In his eyes, the Great Demon Gods currently battling it out were no longer Great Demon Gods but heaps of gold and silver awaiting his harvest!

As the saying went, “If one doesn’t take what the heavens bestow upon them, misfortune brought about by it would instead befall them”!

If he left that many Divinity Crystals as they were instead of collecting them, even the heavens wouldn’t be able to stand it!

“Kaka, Big Bro’s here!”

Meng Lei had brazenly gone on the offensive.

Whoosh!

He teleported right in front of a Bloodseeker and gouged out its heart in one smooth motion. Then, he casually tightened his grip around it and crushed it.

“What?!”

A Cerberus that had originally been battling the Bloodseeker was so frightened by the sight that it shuddered all over. Its eyes, as it gazed at Meng Lei, were filled with shock and fear.

He had instantly killed its opponent with just a punch?

Just what kind of combat strength was that?

Filled with fear and trepidation, the Cerberus was all ready to run. But before it could even run far, Meng Lei had already shown up behind it. A fist went flying out with a flip of his wrist.

Bam!

The Cerberus’ head was blasted straight into smithereens. Blood mixed with white and red brains and fluid sprayed about, and the Cerberus died on the spot.

“That bastard!”

Euphemia, the Three-Headed Hell Empress, was so furious that she couldn’t help but stamp her foot. The Cerberus that Meng Lei had killed was her offspring, yet Meng Lei had killed it just like that. How could she not be furious?

“Calm down, Euphemia. This is just the beginning!” The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor was full of elation.

“Damn!”

Euphemia gnashed her teeth in a fury. Had the Dark Hell Demonic Emperor not been around, she would definitely have lunged forward and killed Meng Lei without any hesitation. Contesting for slots? Rules? They could go to hell!

“That bastard!”

Alec, the Fallen Emperor, suddenly broke into expletives at this point. Veins bulged from the surface of his skin, and he almost went berserk.

“Eh?”

Taken back, Euphemia quickly raised her head and looked over to see that Meng Lei had killed another Fallen Angel and gouged out its demonic core from its head.

Euphemia heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of that, and a large part of her fury dissipated right away. She felt a lot more comfortable after seeing a rival being down on luck.

However, she became furious again the very next moment—Meng Lei had actually set his sights on another Cerberus and was charging toward it...

“That fool! Hurry, duck!”

Euphemia hastily shouted a warning. How could the Cerberus possibly be Meng Lei’s match in a one-on-one battle?

“You’ve broken the rules, Euphemia,” said Isaiah coldly.

“Damn the rules! I am the rules themselves!”

Euphemia snapped furiously, “If that bastard dares so much as to kill another Great Demon God under my charge, I’ll definitely give him a tragic death!”

“Isaiah, the main objective today is placement selection, not for them to kill their opponents!”

A cold Alec warned, “Warn your subordinate and make him cease his slaughter. Otherwise...!”

“...”

The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor was secretly furious, but he also understood that should Meng Lei continue his slaughter, given Euphemia’s and Alec’s personalities, they would definitely come to blows. If they joined hands, he definitely wouldn’t be able to stop them.

Thus, he had better just quit while he was ahead.

The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor suppressed his feelings of frustration and gave Meng Lei a warning. He said, “Cease your slaughter, Ice Demon Prefecture Master. Just defeating them would do!”

“Hmph!”

Euphemia and Alec snorted lightly, both thinking to themselves, “It’s good that you know what’s good for you!”

It was just a pity that...
