In the largest territory of the Northern Region in the Demon Domain—Tamkare!
Today, the competition for the title of King of the Northern Region will be held here.
The former King of the Northern Region had gone into seclusion to break through to the level of Demon God King, leaving the world behind.
Now, a new King of the Northern Region must be selected to lead the entire Northern Region of the Demon Domain.
Over the years, without the presence of the Northern Region's King, the Northern Region of the Demon Domain had fallen into chaos.
"Today, those competing for the title of King of the Northern Region include Ankazan from the Western Drum Territory of the Northern Region, a six-star Demon God."
"Borjun from the Northwestern Territory, a seven-star Demon God!"
"And then from..."
As various Demon Gods ascended the high platform, thousands of demons below focused their attention on them.
"Ankazan, today I will surely claim the title of King of the Northern Region."
Borjun spoke confidently to Ankazan.
"Heh, do you think you're the only ones competing?"
"I, Amu, also want to be the King of the Northern Region!"
At that moment, another tall Demon God sneered coldly.
The Demon Gods standing on the high platform were some of the most powerful beings in the entire Northern Region.
"Are you all trying to compete with me, Antaike?"
At that moment, another incredibly strong Demon God stepped forward.
Upon hearing this voice, the other Demon Gods turned their gazes toward the newcomer, and they were able to clearly see the figure of this powerful Demon God!
Seeing this Demon God, their eyes filled with shock.
In terms of sheer strength, while this Demon God was indeed formidable, they were only at the level of a six-star Demon God.
What truly shocked them was the background of this Demon God.
This individual was a member of one of the most powerful families in the Demon Domain—the Tam Family!
"You want to compete for the title of King of the Northern Region too?"
Ankazan couldn't help but speak out.
In the Demon Domain, there were four major regions: East, South, West, and North.
Among these four, the Southern Region was the strongest.
The Northern Region, on the other hand, was the weakest.
Typically, no truly powerful Demon Gods bothered competing for the title of King of the Northern Region.
But this time, a member of a powerful family from the Southern Region had come to compete.
"Of course."
Antaike sneered.
"I am determined to become the King of the Northern Region."
He swept his gaze over the other Demon Gods, his tone casual but firm.
"Damn it..."
Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the Demon Gods subtly changed.
There was an unmistakable threat in Antaike's voice.
The Tam Family was one of the most powerful Demon God families.
It was said that the Tam Family's ancestor was a Demon God King.
With this in mind, the Demon Gods' expressions fluctuated as they hesitated.
They began to question whether they should even continue competing against Antaike.
"My family is very eager for me to become the King of the Northern Region."
Antaike glanced at the other Demon Gods and smiled.
Though his smile seemed kind, his words carried a clear message—anyone who dared to compete with him would be opposing the Tam Family!
With that thought in mind, the other Demon Gods gritted their teeth.
"I withdraw."
Ankazan sighed and spoke.
The Tam Family was simply too powerful.
Even if he were to win and become the King of the Northern Region, he wouldn't know when or how he might be killed later.
It was better not to pursue the title at all.
"I withdraw as well."
"Withdraw."
"…"
One by one, the once-confident Demon Gods chose to withdraw.
Though the title of King of the Northern Region was tempting, none of them dared to compete anymore.
"Tsk tsk, all these Demon Gods are so afraid of the so-called Tam Family."
At that moment, a voice came from behind.
Who!?
Hearing the voice, the Demon Gods turned their attention toward the source.
As they looked closely, they saw a man dressed in beast robes approaching.
Zhang Leitian!
"A half-demon?!"
At that moment, Zhang Leitian was in his half-demon form.
The Demon Gods, seeing this, frowned.
"A mere half-demon, and you dare to compete for the title of King of the Northern Region? Are you courting death?"
Ankazan spoke coldly upon seeing this.
Watching Zhang Leitian approach, killing intent flared in their eyes.
"Are you... Zhang Leitian!?"
Antaike, upon seeing Zhang Leitian, seemed to recall something and his eyes widened.
"That's right, it's me."
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Leitian's mouth.
He slowly walked toward the platform.
"Stop right there!"
Ankazan roared in anger.
A mere half-demon stepping onto the platform was an insult!
He wielded a large blade, preparing to attack Zhang Leitian in an instant!
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Zhang Leitian raised an eyebrow.
As the large blade came slashing down, he tilted his body slightly and dodged it with ease!
What speed!
Ankazan's attack missed, and a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Are you seeking death?"
Zhang Leitian's cold voice rang out as he looked at Ankazan.
In his eyes, a terrifying killing intent surged forth!
The killing intent was so overwhelming that Ankazan felt his scalp tingle.
His body instinctively took a few steps back.
"Pathetic."
Antaike snorted coldly upon seeing this.
He glanced at Zhang Leitian.
"You, a mere half-demon, now possess such formidable strength?"
He couldn't help but speak as he looked at Zhang Leitian.
He had to admit that the Zhang Leitian before him was vastly different from the one he remembered.
"A half-blooded mongrel—so what if you've gained some power?"
Antaike's gaze was filled with disdain.
"Everyone."
"I, Zhang Leitian, am also here to compete for the title of King of the Northern Region."
Ignoring Antaike, Zhang Leitian stood on the platform, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding demons as he spoke loudly.
"Hahaha!"
"A mere half-demon wants to compete for the title of King of the Northern Region?"
"Does he think he's that powerful?"
"He probably can't even beat me!"
"…"
The crowd of demons burst into laughter after hearing Zhang Leitian's words.
It was as if they had heard the funniest joke of their lives.
"If anyone can kill me on this platform, I will immediately withdraw from the competition."
Zhang Leitian continued to smile as he spoke.
