In the Polar Night Demon World, only power decides everything. The one with the strongest fists gets to call the shots.
In a place like this, Yun Jin had no plans to play it safe or grow quietly in the shadows. She wanted to break straight into the core of the Devourer Demon Clan, become the most trusted person beside the Devourer Demon God, then turn him into her sharpest blade.
To do that, she had to show real power as soon as possible.
Since the disciple of that Purple Lightning Demon God was supposedly a peerless genius who controlled three fourth level Primordial Forces, she couldn't fall short. She also couldn't be too flashy.
After thinking it through, Yun Jin decided she'd present herself as someone who also controlled three fourth level Primordial Forces. The problem was simple. She had too many Primordial Forces. She could only pick three suitable fourth level ones, which meant she had to choose carefully.
There were the Laws inside her Dao Fruits, the Laws her sect disciples cultivated, and the Laws she had comprehended on her own. Above the third level, the number of Primordial Forces wasn't huge, but at the fourth and fifth levels, she had far too many options.
Yun Jin filtered through them before finally settling on three.
Fourth level Primordial Force: Primordial Devouring
Fourth level Primordial Force: Primordial Speed
Fourth level Primordial Force: Primordial Metal
Primordial Devouring was a branch of the second level Primordial Force of Devouring. Showing it off could help her get closer to the Devourer Demon God and earn his trust faster.
Primordial Speed enhanced her movement. Primordial Metal was the most destructive elemental Primordial Force.
Those two ensured her combat power.
With this lineup, taking part in that so called disciple competition should be more than enough.
While she muttered to herself, Wan Dao was also picking his own set of Primordial Forces.
He was about to meet a Demon God, so he had to choose wisely.
He'd definitely show the Primordial Black Mist he comprehended earlier in public.That Primordial Force excelled at hiding aura and boosting concealment.
For the other two fourth level Primordial Forces, he settled on:
Fourth level Primordial Force: Primordial Sunfire
Fourth level Primordial Force: Primordial Shield
Attack, defense, concealment, he had all of them. These three should be enough for that so called disciple competition too.
Though master and disciple didn't know of each other's existence yet, at this moment, their thoughts were strangely aligned.
That Purple Lightning Demon God's disciple never counted in their eyes. Taking first place would be effortless.
Inside the demon city, Yun Jin finished her selection.
Using the Law of Yin and Yang, she added a bit of age to her appearance. After this adjustment, she'd look around two thousand years old, about the same as that demon god's disciple.
After ten years, when the competition began, she'd act her way through it, fight with all she had, then win in a hard fought battle.
With her plan set, Yun Jin pulled up her cloak, hid her aura, and walked toward the gate to the inner city. As expected, the two Tianmo guarding the gate immediately blocked her path.
Across the Polar Night Demon World, a Tianmo was already considered strong, yet here, the position of gatekeeper was all they were qualified for.
Every time the post opened, tens of thousands of Tianmo would rush to fight for it.
All for one reason. Guard the inner city for a thousand years, and you gain the right to live inside the inner city afterward. For that qualification, countless Tianmo fought tooth and nail.
These two gatekeepers were from high ranking demon clans. Their strength placed them among the stronger Tianmo.
"Why are you trespassing into the inner city?" one of them barked with a cold and stern voice.
"Leave at once! If you take one more step, you'll be killed!" the other snapped.
Yun Jin wanted to stir up a scene anyway. She raised a brow, her voice icy. "Kill me? That depends on whether you're capable."
She stepped forward.
"You dare!" The two Tianmo burst into fury and unleashed a thunderous strike at her.
Yun Jin's expression stayed cold. With the boost of Primordial Speed, her figure vanished instantly.
Before the two Tianmo even registered what happened, Tai'a, disguised beneath layers of concealment, struck.
The Tianmo had no chance to resist and collapsed immediately.
Yun Jin let out a soft, mocking laugh. "Overestimating yourselves."
She walked straight into the inner city. The two Tianmo paled and sent out an urgent message while trembling.
"Enemy attack!"
Their desperate cries echoed through the entire inner city.
Enemy attack?
Every demon inside froze. It was such a foreign term.
Enemy attack? The inner city sat beneath the Demon God Palace. Who would dare attack this place? Another Demon God?
The inner city guard teams responded instantly, surrounding Yun Jin tightly.
Though these guards were strong high ranking demons who could live in the inner city, their status was still the lowest. Even if they were Tianmo at minimum, any member of the Devourer Demon Clan, even a newborn, could order them around.
To the Devourer Demon Clan, the guards were simply useful servants.
Yun Jin looked at the surrounding guards without emotion. A cold laugh escaped her. "You're just asking to die."
Her blade flashed free of its sheath. Her silhouette moved through the guards like a ghost. In both cultivation and Primordial Forces, she crushed them completely.
Soon, bodies lay scattered across the ground. Yun Jin gave another cold laugh and kept walking deeper inside.
"Impudent. You dare draw your blade beneath the Demon God Palace, you even dare harm my men." A man with an icy expression blocked her path.
A terrifying pressure surged from his body.
Yun Jin's lips twisted into a feral grin. "A Zhenmo expert. Good, very good. Finally someone who's worth my time."
Her eyes gleamed with feverish excitement. She was genuinely looking forward to this completely lopsided fight.
Nearby, countless Devourer clansmen watched with blank faces. This was the Demon God Palace. They'd never feared danger here.
In their eyes, the woman before them was only a Tianmo. No matter how strong she might be, she couldn't stir up any real trouble. Her opponent was the captain of the guard, a Zhenmo level powerhouse. Cross realm combat at this level was practically impossible. The woman would stop here.
The inner city hadn't been this lively for a long time, and everyone treated it like a show.
"Looks like you came here just to die. Then I'll grant your wish." The captain let out a harsh laugh as a massive blade appeared in his hands. He swung it down at Yun Jin.
He was fast, but Yun Jin was faster.
With Primordial Speed, she vanished from her spot.
One Devourer clansman chuckled. "She's not simple. That's a fourth level Primordial Speed."
"But if she only controls one Primordial Force, that still won't cut it."
Yun Jin's speed was incredible, but the captain only sneered. His blade swept out, unleashing countless overlapping shadows that covered the sky. No matter how fast she moved, there was nowhere to dodge.
Yun Jin let out a cold laugh. She gripped Tai'a tightly and met the falling blade head on.
Steel and steel collided.
And Yun Jin didn't fall back.
The watching demons finally showed surprise.
To match a Zhenmo's strike like this…
She must also control Primordial Metal.
Two fourth level Primordial Forces in a row, and she even looked so young.
Could it be…
The Devourer clansmen straightened in their seats.
The Demon God had been searching desperately for a disciple to fight ten years from now. And this woman had already shown two fourth level forces. If she could reveal a third…
"You do have some skill." After blocking several blows, the captain's expression darkened.
He let out a sharp, piercing shriek. From all directions, endless black crows surged into the sky.
"Perfect timing." Yun Jin laughed coldly. She lifted her hand, then shoved downward with force.
The sky full of crows was instantly crushed into blood mist. The mist twisted, then all of it was drawn straight into Yun Jin's mouth as pure energy.
Primordial Devouring.
The Devourer clansmen all shot to their feet.
There it was.
The third fourth level Primordial Force.
This woman actually controlled three.
Inside the Demon God Palace, the Devourer Demon God slowly opened his eyes. A look of genuine interest flickered across his face.
