The party they had encountered consisted of ten devils. Judging from their auras, three of them were
middle spiritual emperors and four were lower spiritual emperors.
"Guys, we will earn three hundred and seventy points if we kill them all,"
Ricky told his teammates using his internal power. He added, "We need to get at least twenty thousand
points, so all of us can become disciples of the Misty South Palace.
We will be cutting it too close if our hunts for the next two years continue at this rate. It's possible that
we might not earn enough points. So, I think we should start targeting devils at the upper spiritual
emperor realm."
"How can middle spiritual emperors like us kill devils who are the upper spiritual emperors? Only you
can think of such ridiculous but amazing plans!"
Jasper exclaimed, chuckling to himself as he added, "But you are mistaken about one thing. We must
earn more than twenty-five thousand points.
In that way, you can become the Misty South Palace's core disciple, and they will have to pay closer
attention to you. They will be forced to help you deal with the forces coming after you because of Paul's
inheritance."
"Ha-ha, we'll see! It all depends on my luck and my confidence!"
Ricky responded with a laugh.
After that, the four warriors turned their attention to the ten devils.
The devils caught sight of them at the same time.
"Rumor has it that the Misty South's most powerful force is screening their disciples today. Since these
four lowly creatures give off a strong aura of the continent, they must be participants of the said
selection. Ha-ha! It looks like we hit the jackpot today, boys!" said the leading devil as a sly smirk
graced his face.
"Sir, that human female has an aura like a roaring flame. She must cultivate the force of roaring flame,
which suits our taste very well. We lucked out! We haven't met a human female who cultivates the
force of roaring flame for a long time."
The other nine devils gazed at Ella with hunger in their eyes, looking animalistic and ferocious.
When the leader of the devils heard this, he eyed Ella with pure greed and rumbled, "Excellent! That's
great! And her infernal power is so pure too. I can't wait to capture her.
As for the three other ants, tear them to pieces, and we'll feast on their flesh!"
This was how the devil race treated the creatures from the continents. The males they captured were
only good enough to be their food, while females were 'luckier' and became their slaves.
Of course, for the women from the continents, it was a fate worse than death.
"It looks like they are more interested in you, Ella! That's no wonder, though, since your appearance
and figure are so outstanding!" Ricky teased Ella, sending a childish grin her way.
"If you continue to make fun of me, Ricky, I'll tell Tina and Amelia about this after the selection,"
Ella replied threateningly. However, the small smile on her lips betrayed her amusement at Ricky's
jokes.
Ricky was secretly delighted too, as it seemed that Ella and the two women had gotten closer during
the battle for the selection tokens.
"Okay, okay, you win!" he answered helplessly, acting as if the threat had scared him.
At this, Mordechai and Jasper burst out into laughter.
The next moment, the group sobered and turned their attention back to their adversaries.
"These guys think they can push us around, huh?" Jasper sneered. "Well, I haven't used my power
since I obtained the inheritance of the Law of Change. Let me take it for a test drive today!"
"Ha-ha! Okay, then. We'll leave these devils to you!" Ricky responded with a grin.
After that, Jasper stalked towards the ten devils.
His momentum rose with every step he took, and the power condensed into the shape of Eight
Diagrams behind him.
"That's the power of Eight Diagrams! Is it the same kind as Mike's?!" Mordechai and Ella gasped in
astonishment after seeing Jasper's power. They looked at Ricky in confusion.
"You're right. That's the power of Eight Diagrams, similar to what Mike cultivates," Ricky replied with a
slight nod. "A time will come when they will have to fight each other. After all, one cultivates the Law of
Change while the other cultivates the Law of Fortune-telling. Both of the two are parts of the Eight
Diagram.
"Is that so?" Mordechai and Ella murmured.
The powerful aura encompassed the ten devils in the blink of an eye, as the Eight Diagrams behind
Jasper rose, swept up the sky, and abruptly descended.
When they saw this, those devils' faces instantly fell. Only now did they realize that Jasper was quite a
formidable opponent.
Although the devil race looked down on the creatures from the continents and treated them like insects,
they didn't underestimate their power. This made sense since the two races had fought countless
times, but the devils still hadn't overpowered the humans no matter how many times they invaded.
"Demonizing!" roared the leader of the devils.
He was at a one-star middle spiritual emperors. Thus, in terms of the strength, he and Jasper were
almost at par with each other. However, Jasper used to be a peerless genius. Plus, he had recently
acquired the inheritance of the Eight Diagrams. He must be an ace genius now.
On the contrary, the ten devils had extraordinary blood powers, but they didn't belong to the devil race's
eight most powerful bloodlines.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The ten devils instantly entered the demonization mode, and their two arms
multiplied to four. The Devil Flame, which was the devil race's version of Holy Fire, burned and swelled
in abundance with the surging evil spirit.
The power condensed and became their strongest defense.
"Omnipotent Skill—Holy Devil Fire Totem!"
Boom! Under the influence of the evil spirit which filled with the Devil Flame, a huge totem of Devil
Flame was formed. Countless devil shadows appeared in the next moment, resisting Jasper's attack.
"Humph! By now, you may realize that we are not to be trifled with. But it's too late!"
Jasper said in a cold voice as he stood strong with the power of Eight Diagrams behind him.
Then, he knitted his hands together.
Howl!
A sound suddenly rang from his power of Eight Diagrams. In the next breath, the cyan power gushed
out and condensed into a cyan dragon shadow.
"Go and kill, my dragon!"
Immediately after, the power of the Eight Diagram, which resembled the heavenly power, poured out
from Jasper's body and merged with the Azure Dragon's silhouette. After that, the dragon opened its
mouth and let out a deafening roar, as it created a horn-shaped Omnipotent Skill, intending to attack
the Holy Devil Fire Totem.
At this point, it was fairly evident that shadows shaped like constellations had appeared in the darkness
around them. These shadows absorbed the power of the continents in the space and gathered it on the
horn-shaped Omnipotent Skill.
"That's the Law of Change, which originates from the heavenly law and revolves around the
constellation. Is this the power of the Eight Diagrams?"
Once again, Mordechai and Ella were stunned. "Even though we are in this Passage World, it can still
invoke the feeling of the continent's pure heavenly power.
This is the true power of the Law of Change.
"Indeed! Among all the supreme enlightenment, the Law of Change is the one closest to the heavenly
law."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, the attack collided with the defense, and violent airwaves erupted and swept over
them in an instant. The Holy Devil Fire Totem and Jasper's Omnipotent Skill seemed to be in a
stalemate.
However, the so-called stalemate lasted only for a moment.
The Azure Dragon's shadow gave a great roar, and the Holy Devil Fire Totem suddenly collapsed. The
latter dissolved into the smog and dissipated into thin air. Then, the pattern of the Eight Diagrams
engulfed the ten devils that were seriously injured, which prevented them from escaping.
Once again, the horn-shaped Omnipotent Skill displayed by Jasper fell again, and the ten devils
collapsed lifeless on the ground.
The battle had ended in a flash.
Withdrawing his breath, Jasper slowly descended from the air with a triumphant smile on his lips. "I'm
glad I didn't let you down in this battle!" he remarked.
"So, this is why some people regard the Law of Change close to the heavenly law. Well, it looks like
they are right!"
Mordechai praised Jasper.
