Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 463 - 335: Hot Commodity (Part 2)

He always kept thinking about the Six-winged Illusion Python.

Especially after witnessing the effects of Lin Feng’s divine skill in the last battle, he couldn’t help but salivate.

On regular days, he couldn’t possibly acquire the Six-winged Illusion Python, not even with the diamond soul skill reward for the champion.

Illusion is a divine skill, far more precious than diamond soul skills.

But at this critical moment, there might be an opportunity.

"Let’s observe the situation first, we don’t need to rush into making a decision," Lin Feng said.

He wanted to seize this key not only because it was crucial to Shangjing and even the whole nation but also because it was a rare chance.

Similar to the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, this was an excellent opportunity to hunt alien race geniuses and powerhouses.

With suppressed power, Lin Feng was confident he could hunt down kings.

As long as most of the alien race geniuses and powerhouses were killed, even if the key wasn’t captured, the situation of a spatial gate fusion wouldn’t occur again.

Since he caused the early fusion of the spatial gate, it was up to him to end it all.

Moreover, this time during the key battle, he would face various unprecedented geniuses, representing various rare soul skills, even divine level soul skills.

This was also a chance for Nightmare to absorb soul skills.

Such an opportunity might not happen again in the future.

Lin Feng knew the key battle this time was extremely dangerous. He couldn’t let his team bear the consequences of his decisions.

This action can only be voluntary.

Bu Zheng and Elder Yun listened quietly, their brows furrowed with serious expressions, yet refrained from commenting.

With the imminent invasion of alien races, no one could stay uninvolved.

Whether a martial artist or an ordinary person, everyone would face life-threatening situations.

The key battle was undoubtedly dangerous, but danger was accompanied by opportunity.

Only by quickly becoming stronger could one have the ability to resist danger.

They couldn’t always be protected nearby; if aliens truly invaded, they had to fight too.

While the Avengers Alliance was discussing, the entire nation and even the world learned of the impending fusion disappearance of the spatial gate, causing a global shock.

Major television media started reporting overnight and calming the agitated residents.

The warning in Shangjing had disappeared at this time, but no one could sleep anymore.

All major supermarkets and convenience stores were emptied as people displayed signs of unease and fear.

Meanwhile, all major guardians in Huaxia and king-level warriors received a unified message on their phones.

It was a summons.

Powerhouses continuously arrived in Shangjing, heading to the space gate in the Land of Chaos, entering a temporary conference room built there.

At this time, nearly two hundred people had gathered in the conference room, all kings.

On a platform, there were three stone chairs. Hong Tao sat in the center, with an elderly man in a Tang suit and a woman in long dress sitting beside him.

Those who could sit alongside Hong Tao were undoubtedly emperors.

These two people were also familiar to the audience.

Two of the thirteen emperors in Huaxia.

The elder was named Chen Tiangeng, a Martial Emperor powerhouse.

The woman was named Xie, an Extraordinary powerhouse.

Among the crowd stood Yang Qingtian and Yang Qing, surrounded by many people, all kings from the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing.

"Are they gathering us to plan the key battle?"

"Of course, why else would there be so many people gathered? Nearly half of the country’s king-level powerhouses are present."

"Sigh, this key battle is bound to be brutal; lives are as insignificant as weeds."

"If, as Emperor Hong said, everyone’s abilities will be suppressed in space, only able to exert the first-grade martial arts strength, and soul skills can’t be freely released, only innate skills can be used, then even kings could be slain by the weaker."

"Even Emperor Hong nearly couldn’t make it out; what about the kings?"

"Yeah, if kings were killed by weaker ones, it would be a great loss."

"Even if it’s not worthwhile, we must participate; should we just watch as the spatial gate fuses?"

People discussed fervently.

The entire conference room seemed noisy.

Facing the spatial gate fusion, everyone had their own thoughts.

"Alright, quiet down."

Hong Tao spoke calmly, and the room instantly quieted down.

Facing the crowd’s attention, Hong Tao began: "This time, I called everyone here as you probably guessed — yes, it’s about seizing the key."

"The fusion of the spatial gate represents the signal of the Divine Martial Continent’s invasion, a probe by the alien race. We might manage to defend against the fusion of one spatial gate.

But if we ignore it, we might soon face the fusion of a second spatial gate. If the number of fused spatial gates reaches a certain level, the consequences — I don’t need to explain."

"Thus, this conference is not for you to discuss whether to seize the key."

"The key must be seized, there’s no doubt about it."

Hong Tao spoke with a soft tone, yet oozing with firmness.

This caused many faces to change color, some even paled slightly, abandoning any thoughts of luck.

"Nationwide, there are 127 Glory Races; this time each must send a king. My Hong Family is no exception. If anyone defies, their Glory title will be stripped."

This pronouncement caused further changes among the people present.

Even Yang Qingtian felt no exception.

The Yang Race currently had four kings, with him being the strongest, followed by Yang Qing.

As the clan leader and the primary beneficiary of the family’s interests, he couldn’t let others in his clan take risks.

Therefore, if he refused to enter the Land of Chaos, Yang Qing would have to go.

"Emperor Hong, what if there’s no king, or the king is elderly, weak, or wounded?" an elderly man asked.

The Glory Conglomerate and Glory Race represent significant contributions to the country hence granted the Glory title.

While most of it reflects martial achievements, some involve scientific or other contributions.

Not all Glory Races have king-level powerhouses.

Some families saw kings fall due to accidents.

Some declined heavily over the years, failing to cultivate king-level powerhouses.

Opting out was possible, but the Glory title would be stripped, a major blow and deadly strike to the family.

The word ’glory’ granted them unparalleled privileges across sectors, guaranteeing the family’s prosperity.

Though just a title, it was worth more than billions.

"Old age and frailty are not reasons."

Hong Tao glanced at the elder, coldly saying:

"If unwilling or no king is present, send a family genius who has refined the Earth Chart demon spirit; such a genius can equally represent a king."

This response prompted quite a few people to react, some bitterly smiling.

Those who refined Earth Chart demon spirits were super talents, extremely rare, not present in every Glory Race.

Some families had kings but lacked such individuals.

Even if truly present, these talents represent the family’s future and may not want to take risks.

"What if there are no geniuses who refined Earth Chart demon spirits?"

The elder continued enquiring.

"If none exist, find them elsewhere at a cost; once voluntary agreement is secured, it’s acceptable. If unable to find super talents who refined Earth Chart demon spirits, other talented individuals with achievements can do, and we’ll evaluate their eligibility." Hong Tao responded indifferently.

The elder nodded, though he still had doubts, he didn’t dare continue questioning.

At that moment, he contemplated: Where to find which talent?

What costs should be paid to earn their consent?

"As for kings or super talents who voluntarily join in the key battle, there are rewards; exact reward standards will be discussed later."

Hong Tao finished speaking, glanced at the elder and woman beside him.

"Do you have anything additional to add?"

Both shook their heads, indicating no further remarks were necessary.

"Alright, go prepare; you have three days to prepare, and the list must be submitted in three days."

Hong Tao waved a hand, announcing the end of the meeting.

The various kings exchanged glances, with troubled expressions, yet none spoke before swiftly leaving the conference room.

This conference, gathering half of Huaxia’s kings, concluded in just ten minutes.

Hong Tao evidently disliked nonsense.

At such a critical time, no unnecessary words were required, only execution mattered.

Everyone had different thoughts but no one dared defy such orders given the overall situation.

After the meeting ended, the super talents who refined Earth Chart demon spirits instantly became highly sought after.

Various Glory Races offered multiple resources and conditions, wanting them to participate instead in the key battle.
