“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

[A group of Demon Kings shouted in unison, intending to kill Sun Wukong.

[At that moment, the Primordial Sage Nine Spirit, who had been silent all this while, suddenly raised his hand, causing the entire scene to fall silent.

“Let’s put Sun Wukong’s matter aside for the time being. I have a feeling that that monkey is really stupid. He was schemed against by the Buddhist sect, which resulted in his defection. All of you are his sworn brothers, so it’s not easy to move against him. Isn’t he going to escort Tang Sanzang to get the scriptures? We can wait and see before making a decision.”

[The moment the Primordial Sage Nine Spirit spoke, the tone of the matter was naturally set. No one brought up the matter of killing Sun Wukong anymore.

[Seeing that the first matter had been settled, Great Sage Heaven Battering spoke directly. “The second matter is that we will use this convention to elect a king of all demons. They will enjoy three layers of our Demon race’s fate. They will lead our demon race to slay Immortals and destroy Buddhas. They will attack the nine heavens.”

“???”

[In an instant, all the demons below looked confused. Then, when they understood the meaning of this sentence, the scene immediately exploded.

[Although the King of 10,000 Demons was only a t.i.tle, no demon had ever had this t.i.tle since ancient times.

[However, they would enjoy three layers of the demon race’s fate.

[Although the current Demon race couldn’t compare to the glory of the ancient times, it was still like the sun in the sky. Any demon, even if it was just an ordinary Demon King, would enjoy the t.i.tle of King of 10,000 Demons.

[They would probably reach the level of a Demon Sage in an instant or even unleash an even stronger power.

[In an instant, the eyes of all the demons turned red. Even if their opponent was a terrifying Demon Sage, they would fight for the t.i.tle even if they had to risk their lives.

“Silence!”

[Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Great Sage Demon Bull snorted coldly.

[Finally, under Great Sage Demon Bull’s aura, the hall became quiet once again.

[At that moment, a great Demon King spoke. “Great Sages, could it be that the position of the king of all demons can only be chosen by the few of you? Do we have no chance at all?”

[One looked at this demon and realized that it was actually a Tiger Spirit. It was at the 3rd Protostar of the Heavenly Lord realm and was only one step away from becoming a Demon Sage.

[Great Sage Demon Bull said arrogantly, “Hmph! We demons naturally respect the strong. Whoever is the strongest will become the King of all Demons.”

[The current Great Sage Demon Bull was already an 8th Protostar Heavenly Lord. Including his innate ability, even Primordial Sage Nine Spirit might not be his match.

[When he said this, all the demons present agreed. The Demon race believed that the strong were respected. The strongest would be the king of all demons without any problems.

“Hmph!”

[The Tiger Spirit snorted, but after considering the comparison between his strength and Great Sage Demon Bull’s, he didn’t say anything.

[Primordial Sage Nine Spirit said at that moment, “Alright. Since that’s the case, let’s choose a king of all demons among the eight of you.”

[He was already past the age of being compet.i.tive. Moreover, even if he enjoyed the third layer of the demon race’s fate, his battle prowess wouldn’t increase much.

[On the contrary, if any of the other eight Demon Sages obtained the third layer of the Demon race’s fate, it wouldn’t take more than 100 years for them to become a peak-level Demon Sage.

[At that moment, the expressions of the eight Demon Sages on the seats were all different.

[Although Great Sage Sea-Toppling, Great Sage Heaven Battering, and the other demons were sworn brothers with Great Sage Demon Bull, they couldn’t give up the position of the King of 10,000 Demons.

[Everyone wished to be the strongest expert. Who would be willing to be second?

[Even the newly promoted Demon Sage, Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast, kept glancing at the Demon Sages, deciding who he could beat.

[Primordial Sage Nine Spirit said, “How about this? After the Demon Convention ends, we’ll hold a battle between the eight Demon Sages. The final winner will be the King of 10,000 Demons and announce it to the three realms.”

[None of the Demon Sages had an objection to this.

[Seeing that the second matter had been resolved, Great Sage Heaven Battering spoke again.

“The third matter is that our Demon race is in decline. Although two new Demon Sages have been born, there are still many factions within and outside the three realms that are bullying our demon race. After selecting the King of 10,000 Demons, our Demon race will declare war on a major faction in the three realms and wipe them out in a single battle. We can also let the G.o.ds and Buddhas of the three realms see the consequences of bullying our Demon race.”

[The demons became excited again. It was their favorite thing to start a war.

[The Demon Sages were also eager to try.

[It should be known that Demon Sages also cared about reputation. Killing experts of the same level would undoubtedly strengthen their reputation.

[Seeing that no one objected, Great Sage Heaven Battering directly read out a list of names.

“Heavenly Court, h.e.l.l, Mount Meru, Southern Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, Mount Putuo, Five Villages Temple, Four Seas’ Dragon Palaces…”

[The names Great Sage Heaven Battering read out were all the top forces in the three realms.

[Just hearing these names made the demons’ blood boil.

[A white-furred mouse suggested loudly, “I suggest we attack Mount Meru and kill Tathagata. From now on, I’ll make the decisions in the Western Heaven…”

[In an instant, everyone looked at the white-furred mouse. This made the mouse, who was only at the Demon King realm, feel awkward and a little afraid.

[After the group of demons saw the mouse, they no longer paid any attention to it. They wanted to see how such a stupid demon could cultivate to become a Demon King.

[Although Great Sage Heaven Battering’s message was loud, the top forces couldn’t be attacked.

[Even if all the demons attacked, they might not be able to defeat the top forces.

[In the end, the demons unanimously approved the Four Seas’ Dragon Palaces, which was the easiest force to bully.

“Poor Four Seas’ Dragon race…”

“You are so funny. You planned to attack the Four Seas’ Dragon Palaces, but you insisted on doing this.”

[Just like that, the Demon Convention came to an end.

[Next was the battle of the eight Demon Sages, which all demons were looking forward to.

[At the top of Mount Jelei, there was a huge platform. It was the place where Great Sage Demon Ox cultivated, and it was used as the arena for the duel.

[As a judge, Primordial Sage Nine Spirit could not only ensure the fairness of the compet.i.tion, but he could also help in times of danger.

[After the eight Demon Sages were in position, Primordial Sage Nine Spirit took out a box and wrote the names of the eight Demon Sages on a piece of paper. Then, he said, “In a while, I will draw two lots at a time. These two will compete on the stage. The winner will advance, and the loser will be eliminated. After four rounds, the four winners will enter the stage together. The final winner will be the king of all demons.”

[Hearing the words of Primordial Sage Nine Spirit, one could not help but sigh. The older the ginger, the spicier. If it were just a single match, the final winner might be the one with the strongest martial strength, but it might not be the most suitable one.

[And in the last match, the four winners would fight in a free-for-all. Not only did it test one’s strength but also their brain power.]
