The snow had stopped by the next morning. Thick snow covered the ground.

After eating breakfast, the geniuses and their family members gathered in an open space outside a hall.

Im finally at the final selection. Its my last chance. A genius stood alone in the corner, his eyes filled with determination. I have to make a final gamble. Im already twenty years old. I must get a spot this time.

Many geniuses fell silent. The pressure was immense.

Even the princess, Li Ying, and the others who barely made it to the top ten in the preliminaries were nervous. They were confident of getting a spot, but they were afraid! If Archean Mountain were to suddenly choose other seedlings, pushing them beyond the top 20, wouldnt it be dumbfounding?

After the initial selection, the only ones who would definitely get a spot were probably Meng Chuan, Ji Yuantong, and Zong Sha.

Theyre coming.

King East River and the others are here.

Everyone fell silent. Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan looked up. King East River, the sloppy man, and the cyan-clothed woman walked in from the entrance. The three of them stopped in front of the crowd.

King East River swept his gaze across everyone and said, Today is Archean Mountains final selection. The final selection will be your last chance. As long as you show enough strength or have sufficient potential, our Archean Mountain will give you a spot. However, there are only twenty spots. Most of you are destined to be eliminated.

Everyone listened calmly.

Do a good job. Eighty-three of you are already twenty this year, said the sloppy man as well. If you miss this chance, you wont have a second chance.

Lets go. After King East River spoke, the space around him distorted, enveloping everyone present. People could not look at King East River directly once again.

Meng Chuan felt an invisible force envelop him gently. There was something invisible beneath his feet, supporting him. Following that, he flew up.

The three Godfiends flew up with nearly two hundred people. They flew straight towards the massive Archean Mountainwhich towered into the clouds.

How can they fly so fast with nearly two hundred people being carried by them? Meng Chuan was somewhat shocked as well. The geniuses saw themselves flying higher and higher, slowly exiting Archean City as they headed towards Archean Mountain.

He could clearly see Archean Mountain, but even at King East Rivers terrifying speed, it still took ten minutes for them to arrive.

Meng Chuan and company were shocked when they faced Archean Mountain up close.

Towering, massive, vast

It was so big that they appeared tiny in front of it.

Whoosh.

After flying through the mountain, they went past mountainsides, mountain peaks, and mountain valleys.

King East River led the geniuses to the entrance of a massive canyon. Many Godfiends had already gathered at the entrance. Aside from Marquis Southcloud, Marquis West Sea, and the other Godfiendswho had been watching yesterdaythere were also unfamiliar Godfiends. They numbered about fifty.

Thats Meng Chuan?

S-grade spiritual perception?

Many of the Godfiendswho had just arrivednoticed Meng Chuan.

After King East River landed, he walked to a linen-clothed elder.

Elder Yi, said King East River with a smile. Are you here to watch the final selection as well?

Mountain Lord personally instructed me to take a good look at this Meng Chuan, said the elder. The two of them stood in front of the other Godfiends. The other Godfiends clearly respected the two since they were Regis Godfiends. There were very few Regis Godfiends, and they held extremely high statuses. Furthermore, most Regis Godfiends had to guard large-scale passes, preventing them from leaving. It was very rare for two Regis Godfiends to spectate the test.

You can begin, said the elder. Ill just watch from the sidelines.

Okay. King East River took a few steps forward and looked at the geniuses. He said, The final selection has two trials. The first trial is demon-slaying!

Many geniuses eyes lit up immediately. Archean Mountains final assessment often changed, but demon-slaying was an immutable trial!

Many of you believe that you couldnt showcase your true strength at the preliminaries. Now your chance is here. Slaying demons is the best way to showcase your strength. King East River pointed at the canyon in front of them. Look, there are countless demons imprisoned in the canyon. In a while, you will be engaging them in battle. You can kill as many as you want. Killing ten demon lieutenant commanders is enough. Any more would be useless. As for demon commanders? The more you kill, the better.

Only then did Meng Chuan and company take a closer look at the canyon.

The huge canyon was blocked by fog. Through the fog, one could vaguely see caves on the cliffs. If one listened carefully, they could hear low growls.

The caves on the cliff sides were quite far away from Meng Chuan, exceeding the range of his senseswhich was half a kilometer.

Countless demons are imprisoned in the canyon? Why would Archean Mountain imprison so many demons? Is it to test us? Meng Chuan wondered about Archean Mountains motives.

The trial lasts for five minutes, continued King East River. If you are about to lose your lives, I will rescue you. Alright, all of you can enter.

Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, Ji Yuantong, Zong Sha, Chu Yong, Yan Feng, Yan Chitong, Jin Huan, and the other geniuses walked towards the huge canyon.

As for the family members, they could only watch the trial nervously.

King East River, said a red-robed Godfiend.

Lets begin. King East River nodded.

Only then did the red-robed woman take a step forward. Her figure blurred as she arrived in the huge valley.

Meng Chuan and company stared at the red-robed Godfiend in surprise.

The red-robed Godfiend continued walking. She walked one step at a time, passing many geniuses before reaching the caves near the huge canyon.

Every cave had chained demons. These demons had limited motion. They lived in the dim caves for extended periods and hated humans even more.

Suddenly, their chains unlocked and fell to the ground with a thud.

Oh? The demons in the cave were somewhat alarmed. Why had the chainsthat imprisoned themunlock? However, they were immediately overjoyed.

We can leave now.

A demon monarch must have saved us. The demons rushed out of the caves.

The red-robed Godfiend walked through the canyon. Many demons were jumping down from the caves. Some demons were scaling the cliffs like they were walking. Some demons spread their wings and flew above the canyon.

The ground, cliffs, and sky were filled with demons. There were over a thousand of them.

Theres a human here.

Kill her.

The demons lunged at the female Godfiend.

Silence, shouted the female Godfiend suddenly. As she spoke, invisible waves of power spread across the valley.

The demonsthat were originally excited and ferociousquietened down as they looked at the red-robed woman respectfully.

Meng Chuan and company felt their hearts tremble.

One sentence was enough to silence and stop over 1000 demonsthat were enemies of their race?

The red-robed Godfiend turned to look at Meng Chuan and company. There are 1,227 demons here. Among them, there are over a thousand demon lieutenant commanders. The demon commanders number 135. You have to protect yourself first before thinking of ways to kill these demons.

The geniuses expressions changed. Even Meng Chuan and Yan Jin had solemn expressions. They knew how powerful demon commanders were. Yet, there were over a hundred demon commanders here?

If they fought head-on, the geniuses wouldnt be able to touch the other party. Instead of demon-slaying, they could easily end up being the ones slain!

Kill. Kill all the humans in front of you. The red-robed Godfiend pointed at Meng Chuan and company.

The thousand obedient demons eyes turned red as they went mad. Their roars, shrill screams, and whines resounded throughout the canyon. They charged at Meng Chuan and company frenziedly. Some flew in the sky, while others rapidly climbed the cliffs. Most of them charged at them on the ground.

The red-robed Godfiend watched this scene calmly. Following that, she flew back to the canyon entrance.

Its starting.

King East River and the other Godfiends watched calmly. By the side, an incense stick had already been lit.

The demon-slaying trial lasted for five minutes.
