I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 12 Battle of the Prodigy, General-Level Demon; Ghost Realm, High-Level Ghostly Beings

As Ji Lin entered behind the stone door, the stench of corpses intensified. When the stone door closed, he heard a low, grinding sound, and could faintly hear Jiang Tianchen's voice outside.

Inside was a huge platform that could hold thousands of people. Torches were lit around the walls, making it possible to see the faces of the people.

Outside the platform was a thick fog, obscuring the view inside, and terrifying screams often emanated from the depths of the fog.

For some unknown reason, the mist remained completely isolated from the platform.

After waiting for a while, two or three hundred people entered one after another, and finally Jiang Tianchen led a dozen or so guards in.

"Very good, over a hundred people have been eliminated in the first round. You can set off now for the second round." Jiang Tianchen said calmly.

With his casual remark, "We can set off now," most people hadn't even realized what was happening before the challenge began.

Several quick-witted individuals darted out like rabbits.

"Ah!! Don't come any closer!!!"

Less than a breath later, screams of agony erupted from inside...

This situation terrified the other trial participants, and many began to hesitate and waver.

Ji Lin immediately used his Insight skill to check the situation:

Bloodlust Demon

[Rank: General]

[Status: Half-human, half-demon]

[Skill: Addiction]

He was very surprised to find a general-level demon lying in ambush below, whose strength should be above that of a grandmaster.

Being half-human and half-demon means that they are not true demons, but rather monsters that have been abnormally infected for some unknown reason.

Just then, seeing everyone standing there in a daze, the Ninth Prince Zhao Yuan took the lead and walked out.

He walked forward expressionlessly, glanced down, and leaped into the air, leaving a trail of shadows behind him.

After observing for a while, everyone found that nothing had happened except for the gradually fading footsteps.

"Has the Ninth Prince already gone, or has that thing down there already left?"

Seeing Zhao Yuan walk out smoothly, some people began to get eager to try.

Only the dozens of awakened beings present could sense that the demons below were still lingering and had not left, and that terrifying anomaly permeated the entire valley; they were gathering from this side...

If we don't set off now, it will be too late when they all surround us, and we won't be able to leave.

Therefore, whether they are awakened individuals or martial artists, they must eventually take this step in order to complete the trial.

Ji Lin used his Insight ability to try to find a route to bypass the stronger monsters. After thinking for a while, he immediately set off.

With his 40 points of agility and his demonized trump card, getting through here shouldn't be too difficult for him.

He leaped into the mist. Visibility was less than five meters, and he was surrounded by a white fog.

After falling several meters, "plop," his feet landed firmly on the ground, and he was safe.

As soon as he reached the ground, he vaguely saw a tall silhouette walking towards him; it was the general-level demon.

"Da, da, da"

When you are five meters away from him, you can vaguely see that the monster is wearing silver armor, holding a shield, and has only a black mist on its face. It has no facial features, only two red dots that emit a faint light.

It slightly raised its hand, and the surrounding white mist began to gather in its hand.

Ji Lin sensed a terrifying aura. Oh no, it was activating its demonic ability.

As he was still in shock, "thud," a warrior landed right in the middle.

The man looked up, but before he could see what it was, he was sucked in.

"Ah!! It's a demon!!! It's a demon!!!"

Without thinking twice, Ji Lin immediately ran away, kicking down several of the monsters that were attacking him, and quickly rushed forward.

There are countless dangerous creatures ahead, and we may also have to deal with attacks from other trial participants, so we must conserve our strength and not waste too much time and energy on them.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle"

He moved nimbly and moved incredibly fast, quickly catching up with the other trial participants.

However, as if they were waiting for Ji Lin, they slowed down, and three warriors gradually moved closer to him.

"Kid, you're unlucky to have run into our White Cloud Sect. Be careful next time."

A metallic scraping sound rang out, and the three men simultaneously drew their longswords and thrust them at him.

"You're asking for it, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Ji Lin felt there was no need to hide his demonic body any longer, and with a thought, he immediately transformed into a half-human, half-demon form.

The sudden appearance of the enormous figure startled the group.

"You...you're a demonic fetus?"

"Run!!"

Ji Lin didn't waste any words with them and immediately activated the skill [Demonic Appearance - Shadow Strike].

"Poke, poke, poke"

A moment later, Ji Lin left, leaving behind only three corpses with holes in their chests.

Behind him, the sounds of fighting and screams continued to come, it was unclear whether he was fighting against humans or demons.

He rushed to the very end in one breath, and before leaving, he transformed into human form, only to find Jiang Tianchen already waiting there.

After that, more than a hundred people emerged one after another; those who didn't come out were probably already dead in the mist.

"Those ranked after 100 will be automatically eliminated, and I will then send you away," Jiang Tianchen said loudly.

"Now, please hurry and enter the final level. Inside are all sorts of terrifying beings. Only those who can emerge alive are the talents we seek. Also, this place will be sealed off tonight, and you won't be able to leave for hundreds of years. Of course, you can choose not to go in. I hope you will think carefully."

Before Jiang Tianchen finished speaking, the group began to walk through the narrow passageway and enter the core area of ​​the forbidden zone.

Stepping inside, however, revealed a completely different scene: ruins and broken walls, with corpses scattered everywhere.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and suddenly a sandstorm arose, making everyone's vision even more blurred.

Only the golden armor, half-buried in the soil, stood out.

"It seems like we're going in circles!" Qin Dong of Baiyun Sect said in alarm.

Everyone suddenly realized that, just as he said, they had walked back and forth here several times, and the golden armor had reappeared in their sight...

"Yes, that's right, I've seen that damn armor several times already."

The group stopped and began to observe their surroundings.

The system detected something strange:

【Dugu Gui】

【grade:??】

[Special Feature of the Ghost Domain: The Ghost Domain is divided into fifty different areas. Every so often, or after a target is killed by a ghost, everyone within the domain will be randomly reassigned to any new area.]

[Note: The Ghost Realm is an independent space where strange entities can appear anywhere at will.]

[Killing Pattern: Areas with more than two people have a chance of being attacked]

Ji Lin's pupils shrank sharply, and he broke out in a cold sweat. It was yet another terrifying being that did not display its level. This strange entity had actually generated a strange domain.

Furthermore, the system only revealed the pattern of the killings, but didn't explain how to escape the ghost realm. If they can't kill that monster, does that mean they'll never get out...?
