Chapter 1845 Invasion

Although everyone knew that this trip to the Ghostly Demon Land would determine the successor of the
king, none of them knew exactly what kind of trial was waiting for them. Hence, the members of the
royal family and even the people from the nine fiefs were all wondering how the successor would be
chosen in the end.

But of course, no matter what task it would be, they were sure that it would require tremendous
strength and skill. Therefore, at this time, everyone was busy making full preparations before they
entered the Ghostly Demon Land.

At the same time, Rocky was also carefully planning his schemes that would take advantage of the
internal strife in the royal family. This way, he could weaken the Shura Race as much as possible.

After a few days of polishing his plans, Rocky sent a letter to Eunice, who was currently at the border of
the Shura Race's territory. The letter contained Rocky's detailed plan, and Eunice was tasked to deliver
it to the Di Clan so that Colton could study it. After all, Rocky trusted them to help him with his overall
goals.

Moreover, Rocky also assigned some tasks to the independent army. Once he entered the Ghostly
Demon Land, his army was to make some feints on the Shura Race's defenses to throw their guards
off.

Then, eventually, the day to enter the Ghostly Demon Land came.

There was actually a teleportation site in the living area of the Shura Race's royal family that directly
connected to the Ghostly Demon Land. It was already there since the time of their ancestors, and
anyone could directly enter the Ghostly Demon Land through it.

At this time, dozens of powerful warriors from the Shura Race were gathered around the teleportation
circle. They stood in three groups, which obviously represented the three main candidates.



Among these three, Zain's camp boasted the strongest members. He had two masters at the premium
stage of the Shura Realm, three at the medium stage, and eight at the primary stage. In addition to
these Shura Realm masters, there were also a dozen Emperor Realm masters at the peak stage.

Enoch's camp was almost on par with Zain's. He only lacked a master at the premium stage of the
Shura Realm, but the rest were already the same.

Meanwhile, Layla's camp was undoubtedly the weakest. The masters at each stage of the Shura
Realm were fewer compared to both Zain and Enoch, making her camp at a distinct disadvantage.

However, since the king was yet to announce the task that they needed to complete in the Ghostly
Demon Land, Layla's camp was still confident that the overall strength of the team would not decide the
outcome of the trial. Although anyone could aspire to complete the challenge and be the next ruler, it
was obvious that the rest only came to assist the three main candidates.

"I believe that you are already well prepared to go to the Ghostly Demon Land. But of course, before
you go, I am going to announce the content of the trial. The task is very straightforward and simple, but
don't think that it's going to be easy. You are to enter the Demon Sealing Palace, collect a bottle of
Phillip's spiritual power, and bring it back to me!" the king declared loud and clear.

"Pardon me, Your Majesty. But what if multiple people were able to accomplish it? How would the
winner be decided then?" Zain immediately stepped forward to clarify his point.

"The one who finishes the task first wins! I know you already know this, but each one of you, who are
present here, may have the chance to become my successor! However, I must warn you. The Ghostly
Demon Land is a very dangerous place. Even with your strength, it would not be easy to make it back
alive, let alone complete the task. So, before you step on the teleportation circle, make sure that you
have already made up your mind. After all, you might not be able to come back anymore. But of
course, if you overcome the Ghostly Demon Land, I am certain that you can gain a lot from it. Now,



make your choice!" The king was very clear when he explained everything. The Ghostly Demon Land
was like a double-edged sword, so he had no choice but to issue a firm warning to everyone who
wanted to enter it. The task needed to determine the best candidate to become the king's successor
was indeed very difficult. After all, the power of the royal family's bloodline was beyond what ordinary
people could imagine. It could not just fall in anyone's hands.

"Your Majesty, allow us to go now!" After saying this, Zain led his team and immediately stepped on the
teleportation circle.

As soon as they stepped on it, a beam of blue light enveloped them before they instantly disappeared.

Afterward, Enoch's team also stepped into the teleportation circle and vanished from the living area.

Lastly, it was the turn of Layla's team to leave. Both Rocky and Valeria were also there, and they
eventually stepped on the teleportation circle.

However, the moment they stepped into it, a strange force suddenly emerged from the sky, which
directly rushed towards them.

Even before the king and the other members of the royal family could react, the powerful force instantly
destroyed that teleportation circle. Fortunately, Layla's team had already disappeared before the force
crushed the teleportation circle. Otherwise, they were also harmed by it.

"Your Majesty, what did just happen? Where did that astonishing power come from?" Obviously, the
elders of the royal family were astounded by the sudden event that occurred before their eyes. Despite
their old age, it seemed that it was their first time seeing such an unimaginable incident.

However, it seemed that the king was not even fazed by it. His expression remained indifferent, and he
just turned around and left without even saying a word.



Seeing this inconceivable behavior of the king, the members of the royal family could just shut their
mouths and also leave with him.

Meanwhile, Mikayla, who was currently cultivating in the Holy-Evil World, suddenly opened her eyes as
if she sensed something very dangerous. Then, she let out a frown as she looked up into the sky.

Out of nowhere, a huge scarlet face emerged in the sky, sending fear into everyone's hearts who saw
it.

At the same time, countless beams of white light fell from the sky like dazzling shooting stars.

"This cannot be! An evil being penetrated the enchanted barrier surrounding the Ghostly Demon Land?
Who is it?" Mikayla murmured to herself in a cold voice.

The Ghostly Demon Land was not really within the range of the Holy-Evil World. However, it was
enveloped by a powerful enchanted barrier. Hence, any kind of invasion would cause a strong impact
that could be sensed even in the Holy-Evil World.

Once an unwanted being broke through the enchanted barrier, the entire space inside the Ghostly
Demon Land would immediately react. In fact, the ominous view that Mikayla had just seen in the sky
confirmed that someone must have penetrated the enchanted barrier. Although the extent of the
damage to the enchanted barrier remained unknown for now, it was certain that the area's self-
protection feature had already been activated. In this case, all the members of the Shura Race who
had just entered the Ghostly Demon Land through the teleportation circle were in grave danger.

Since they were all inside the Ghostly Demon Land right after the invasion happened, all kinds of
unthinkable danger would be waiting for them. At this point, it was hard to tell how many would be able
to return alive.



It was known that the Ghostly Demon Land was the most dangerous and mysterious area in the Shura
Continent. In fact, even a superior master, who was close to the realm of the god, might not be able to
leave the place unscathed. Hence, even those at the Shura Realm would be having an extremely hard
time overcoming the dangers here.

This was the land where Phillip's soul was sealed. Moreover, the place was home to ghostly demons. It
just meant that the level of danger that could be encountered here was even greater than the Holy
Heaven Palace. After all, this place used to be the battlefield where the ancestors of the Shura Race
once fought the ghostly demons. There was no way that an ordinary warrior could last in here even for
a short while.
