I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

Even with Chen Yi's reminder, Liu Lang insisted on his choice—to confront a Second Grade Divine Travel Realm Demon King head-on.

One must realize that at this moment, Liu Lang's cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Third Grade. To confront the Divine Travel Realm Demon King by crossing a major realm, his Sword Dao must support him in resisting the Demon King's mental invasion.

Otherwise, even if his True Yuan could withstand the invasion of demon energy, and even with the blessing of nature's spiritual energy, facing the Second Grade Realm Demon King remained immensely challenging.

Indeed, if his Sword Dao couldn't break through the Demon King's protective demon energy, it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated by the Demon King.

Earlier, when Liu Lang killed that Third Grade Lower Rank Leopard Demon with one sword strike, it had already excited the onlookers immensely. Now, knowing he intended to challenge the Demon King by crossing a major realm, everyone was thrilled.

"Good!"

"Truly deserving of being the Sword Saint's disciple, Liu Lang's sword strike displayed the demeanor expected of a prodigy!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi refrained from further persuasion, and with a wave of his hand, the massive door at the base of the Thousand Mechanism Tower reopened.

"Hiss—"

Soon, a demon slightly smaller than the previous Leopard Demon slowly slithered out from the Thousand Mechanism Tower—it was a Snake Demon standing five zhang tall and spanning twenty zhang in length!

Upon its emergence, it coiled its vast demon body at one side of the arena, huddling together like a small mountain.

"Little Sword Immortal hiss... Is this the Kyoto Prefecture of the Wei Dynasty? Ssss..."

The Snake Demon raised its head to survey its surroundings, its millstone-sized eyes filled with curiosity as it looked at the surrounding Jianghu Guests and commoners, naturally also spotting the nobles in the painting boats on either side, even the Emperor Wei.

Soon its demon eyes showed some excitement, "I never thought I'd come to the Wei Dynasty in my lifetime in such a manner, hahaha..."

"Little Sword Immortal, I must thank you!"

Before Chen Yi could respond, its gaze fell upon Liu Lang on the opposite side of the arena, spotting a pool of dark demon blood between them, "My opponent? A Human Race prodigy Sword Cultivator?"

"Hiss... Delicious."

Many Jianghu Guests and commoners gasped when they saw the Snake Demon sticking out its long tongue, its demon eyes fixed on Liu Lang.

Though this Snake Demon did not possess the menace of the previous Leopard Demon, its size and calm words sent chills down the spines of the spectators.

"This demon is more terrifying than the previous Leopard Demon, fortunately, it's a duel in the arena with Lord Heroic watching. Otherwise, if this Great Demon rampaged, we'd likely all perish in its jaws."

"Indeed, I encountered a Snake Demon when traveling South Mountain back in the day. Its cultivation was only at the Fifth Grade but it chased me, who was at the Fourth Grade Realm, all over the place."

"Besides its cultivation, the most terrifying thing about the Snake Demon is its scale armor, impervious to weapons and fire. Ordinary cultivators find it hard to breach its defense. Plus, with its snake venom, even a tiny amount can corrode the physical body, and strong Snake Demons can even erode protective True Yuan."

"Truly frightening... Just seeing its silhouette from afar, my, my whole body trembles... It's too scary..."

No wonder Emperor Wei was enraged before, despite the Sword Intent barrier Chen Yi set around the arena, many low-cultivation, shallow-knowledge individuals were visibly rattled.

Yet many were revitalized by Emperor Wei's anger, especially the prodigies attending the gathering.

While most of them did not favor Liu Lang, to avoid a repeat of the Hong Chenxing situation, they all began to cheer him on.

"Brother Liu Lang, I heard you practiced at that Sword Dao Sacred Land for several days, now is the best time to test your Sword Dao. Besides, Lord Heroic is right here, uphold the Sword Cultivator dignity."

"That's right, Brother Liu Lang, we're watching. Show us One Sword Soaring and slay that Snake Demon!"

Even Lin Xueru and other Taoist disciples, as well as Xie Dongan and other Confucian scholars, hoped Liu Lang would make a name for himself—at the very least, he must display the grace expected of the prodigies.

"Brother Liu, seize the moment and slay it!"

Chen Yi gently raised his hand, instantly quieting the surroundings, his gaze settled on Liu Lang as he nodded, "Begin."

Though he was merely Chen Yi's Divine Will Incarnation, as the Divine Will Incarnation of the Fifth Realm Sword Dao Divine Intent, he naturally favored Sword Cultivators.

Especially with someone like Liu Lang, whose personal Sword Dao had reached the peak of the Tongyou Realm and was about to break into the Divine Power Realm, such prodigious Sword Cultivators received his attention.

"Thank you, Lord Heroic, for overseeing the battle for me."

Liu Lang straightened his posture and cupped his hands, then placed his hand on the long and slender sword hilt of his longsword and slowly advanced, facing the Second Grade Divine Travel Realm Snake Demon, involuntarily taking a deep breath.

"Human Sword Cultivator, Liu Lang, requests guidance from the Demon King of the Demon Court!"

"Oh?"

The Snake Demon grinned, two sharp fangs, each spanning one zhang, glinting in the sunlight, "Human Sword Cultivator... Hiss... Hiss..."

"I, under the command of the Great Demon King Jiaolong Luchen of the Demon Court Twelve Pillars, Snake Clan Cheng Yuan, accept your challenge!"

Lu Chen...

Upon hearing this name, the surrounding Great Powers slightly changed expressions, especially Li Qingzhou and others who had fought relentlessly at the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, looked at this Snake Demon with a serious gaze.

Even though this Snake Demon's cultivation was only Second Grade Divine Travel Realm and posed no threat to them, being one of the Demon Court's Twelve Pillars, Jiaolong Luchen, was different.

It was a Great Demon King that harshly oppressed Human Race cultivators in the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, and among the Twelve Pillars, Luchen's name stood prominently. Its might was comparable to the likes of the Emperor Heaven Ancestor of the Demon Court.
