“You flatter me, Your Majesty.”
Meng Lei nodded lightly.
“Hearing such great news just as the Dark Canopy of The Heavens is imminent foretells great rewards for the Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom during the Dark Canopy of The Heavens this time!”
It seemed like the Demonic Emperor was indeed very pleased. He turned to Meng Lei and said, “Ice Demon Prefecture Master, I’m counting on you and all the other Prefecture Masters for this round of Dark Canopy of The Heavens!”
“You’re too kind, Your Majesty. I’ll definitely do my very best!”
Meng Lei adopted a fairly humble stance.
“Dear all...”
After giving everyone another pep talk, the Demonic Emperor then led everyone to the Dark Canopy of The Heavens. None of the three most powerful experts, such as the Demonic Emperor, entered the Dark Canopy of The Heavens every time it opened. The reason behind this was obvious—they were worried that someone would take Dark Hell Continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane for themselves and refine it.
Though they themselves didn’t go in, the three emperors nevertheless didn’t hold back at all when it came to the treasures brought out by those who had gone in.
In other words, the three emperors had priority in taking anything that the others brought out, no matter what it was!
If the others refused to hand it over?
Then they could just go to hell!
No one would bother reasoning with anyone here!
The group made their way to the Dark Canopy of The Heavens three days later.
The Dark Canopy of The Heavens had yet to open at the moment. Thus, what appeared in their sight was instead a steep, 1,000-feet-tall cliff. There were innumerable amazing sights and sceneries of cliffs to be found in Dark Hell Continent, so a 1,000-feet-tall cliff was actually nothing impressive. However, the cliff currently standing before them was no ordinary cliff because it was where the Dark Canopy of The Heavens would be opening.
For countless years, a great number of powerful demons had visited the area on account of its reputation in hopes that they could catch a glimpse of the amazing Dark Canopy of The Heavens. Thus, all the more demons would gather on the day that the Dark Canopy of The Heavens would open every time.
True enough, the place was packed full of and teeming with demons as far as the eye could see. They came from every part of Dark Hell Continent, and they were all here in hopes of witnessing the upcoming battles.
“What the heck! There are so many demons here!”
Dodola let out exclamation after exclamation. “And none of them are weaklings! Even the weakest among them is a Demon God!”
“The Dark Canopy of The Heavens, which opens once every 30,000 years, is a grand affair that sweeps through the whole Dark Hell Continent. It attracts innumerable experts.”
Meng Lei smiled and went on. “Naturally, they aren’t eligible to fight for a slot, so their only purpose in coming is just to watch the battles among the three great empires as they contest for slots to enter.”
“All the experts of Dark Hell Continent must already have congregated here, right? Tsk, tsk! That’s a lot of ordinary and mid-level Great Demon Gods. What shocking numbers!”
Dodola clicked its tongue as it marveled. “As expected, Dark Hell Continent indeed has an extremely strong and profound cultural heritage. Out of all the mid-end existential planes I’ve seen, they definitely rank among the top few!”
“An extremely large part of this is due to the Boundless Plane.”
Meng Lei smiled and said, “Even though the Boundless Plane is an extremely dangerous place, and a greater half of the 36 experts that enter each time usually perish within, they bring out an extremely generous number of artifacts every time. After so many years of accumulation, they have significantly improved Dark Hell Continent’s combat strength standards.”
While the two of them were chatting away idly, everyone had already arrived in front of the cliff. A person-in-charge from the Dark Hell Demonic Kingdom had already hastily come forward to receive them a long time ago.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“You may rise.”
The Dark Hell Demonic Emperor waved lightly and asked dispassionately, “Are people from the other two countries here yet?”
“People from the Fallen Empire and the Three-Headed Hell Kingdom have yet to arrive, Your Majesty.”
The person-in-charge bowed and answered. However, it was at this moment that several exclamations suddenly rang out around them.
“They’re here! People from the other two empires have also arrived! The show’s finally starting! How exciting!”
Meng Lei turned and looked over. True enough, two groups of people were traveling toward them at high speed from afar. In no time, they arrived in the sky above the cliff.
“Isaiah, you’ve surprisingly reached first.”
“So what even if he arrived first? What ultimately counts is still combat prowess!”
Meng Lei followed the source of the voices and looked over at the two people in the lead.
One was a sexy and sensual beautiful woman with a head of red hair, while the other was a cold and austere Fallen Angel with eight wings on his back.
They were none other than the other two most powerful experts of the continent—Euphemia Foster, the Empress of the Three-Headed Hell Kingdom, and Alec Houdini, the Emperor of the Fallen Empire.
“You’re both here!”
Chapter 342: A Chaotic Melee Breaks Out, At Least You Know What’s Good For You
The competition started right away after the three parties exchanged their greetings with one another.
The rules of the competition were very simple. All three parties could dispatch an unlimited number of experts to take part in a chaotic melee battle. It would do as long as 36 victors remained standing in the end.
The rules were very simple.
To sum it up, it was a melee.
Of course, while they could theoretically send an unlimited number of experts,
