Divine God Against The Heavens

_The Next Day_

Ye Xiao and Yue Ying were holding each other's hands intimately and were walking on the streets of the Great Martial City.

Today, the Competition of the Myriad World was going to officially start. But the puzzling thing was, even though it was a competition where thousands of worlds of the Upper Realm were participating, there was no fixed venue.

Ye Xiao was confused at first but when he asked He Yu about this, He Yu told him that the Leaders of tens of Sacred Lands will join hands and open the door to the Demon World. The door to go to the Demon World will randomly appear all around the Great Martial World.

All the participants of the Competition of Myriad Worlds have to do is to enter the door and they'll appear in the Demon World. Only participants who are holding the token which is the proof that he is the participant of the Competition can enter through the door.

Ye Xiao was surprised to find out about this. It was really something he had not to think of.

But what surprised more Ye Xiao was He Yu. He could not understand how He Yu knew that the participants were being sent to the Demon World? There was no official announcement yet after all. Even he got to know about this from the Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land only because that old man found out about the Death Order on his body. Otherwise, he would have been kept in darkness till now.

When Ye Xiao asked He Yu about this, He Yu told him that he got to know about the competition from his Grandfather. His Grandfather was the patriarch of the He Family and the He Family was one of the top power of the Great Martial City.

The influence of the He Family was not small and its strength was only slightly weaker than a Sacred Land. Through his channels, He Yu's grandfather got to know about the First Round of the Competition. And he was told by his Grandfather about this.

As for the next round of the competition, there was still no clue about it.

Since there was no venue, Ye Xiao simply decided to spend as much time with Yue Ying as possible. He had a feeling that after separating this time, it'll be long before he could meet Yue Ying again.

And when the door to the Demon World will open, he'll enter the door after saying Goodbye to Yue Ying.

.....

"What is going on? Today is the day of the competition but there is still no news about it. Is the Competition canceled?"

"There is no way it would be canceled. After all, they have brought us from our worlds after careful selection. We had to go through a fierce competition before we were able to obtain the qualification to represent our worlds and participate in the Competition of Myriad World. It is very unlikely that the competition will be canceled."

"Yes, I also have the same thought. Maybe, for some reason, the competition is delayed. That's why there is no news about it even though it was soon going to be noon."

"Even if that's the case, the organizer should at least inform us. We will not wait for the competition to begin so impatiently."

Many young men were discussing among themselves about the competition. Even though it was soon going to be noon, there was no news about the start of the competition.

Only higher ranked forces like the He Family, Lin Family, and Xing Family knew about some pieces of information about the competition. So, they were waiting patiently.

As for hundreds of thousands of people who don't know about the First Round of the Competition or how the competition was going to start, even a single minute was like a few hours to them.

Rumble! Rumble!

Exactly at 12 pm when the sun was above everyone's head, the dark cloud suddenly appeared and enveloped the entire Great Martial City. A huge rumbling sound also echoed throughout the Great Martial City even though there was no sign of thunder and lightning in these dark clouds.

Be it old men, women, children, or others, everyone raised their heads to look in the sky. There was not a single person inside the Great Martial City who didn't raise their heads and look in the sky.

Suddenly, above the sky at the center of the Great Martial City, a figure suddenly appeared. Since he was far away in the sky, many people could not see this figure's face clearly. But they could feel the unfathomable aura coming out from this person's body.

Ye Xiao was surprised to find out that this person's aura was not in the least weaker than the Leader of the Double Sword Sacred Land. Both of them were on par with each other.

Who will win if the two of them were to fight, no one knew!

At this time, Ye Xiao held Yue Ying's tightly. He looked at her worried face and assured her that he'll come back fine. She doesn't need to worry.

Ye Xiao had already told her what the First Round of the Competition will be? From the moment she came to know that they were being sent to the Demon Worlds, the worry on her face didn't diminish at all.

Instead, it kept increasing as the time for the start of the competition was nearing.

Her worry was understandable, after all, she had spent her entire childhood seeing her father and mother fighting against the demons. Her mother even lost her life in the hands of the demons and even her little sister, who was in her mother's womb when her mother was fighting the demons who invaded the Heavenly River City, was poisoned with the terrifying Three Calamity Poison.

If it was not for Ye Xiao, she feared that her little sister would have died long ago.

Only after Ye Xiao's continuous assurance did she calm down. She made Ye Xiao promise her that he'll return safely from the Demon World.

Ye Xiao could only laugh helplessly at that time. He didn't know how to react, but seeing Yue Ying's worry for him, Ye Xiao's heart became warm. Ye Xiao gave Yue Ying his words that he'll definitely come back from the Demon World safe and sound.

.....

The figure who appeared in the sky above the Great Martial City's central area opened his mouth and said, "Participants, listen carefully!"

That person used some sort of technique to enhance the range of voice. His voice echoed throughout the Great Martial City even though he only parted his lips and murmured in low voice.

The entire Great Martial City quietened down at this moment. All of them perked their ears and started to listen attentively. Be it the participants of the competition or non-participant, none of them wanted to miss a single thing that figure in the sky was going to say.

Looking at the quietened down city, the figure in the sky again said, "The Competition of the Myriad World is going to start. But before that, let me explain something about this competition. to all of you"

"The Competition of the Myriad Worlds is divided into three rounds. Today, we are going to hold the First Round of the Competition."

"The First Round of the Competition is called Game Of Cat and Mouse!"

When the person in the sky said this, everyone's expression changed into many different expressions.

Some people have their faces changed as a confused look appears on their faces. Some people's expressions became strange. Some people became interested as the name "Game of Cat and Mouse" attracted them. Some people were excited as they thought they were going to do something interesting and it'll give them a thrilling feeling.

Some people also had a fearful expression on their faces as they found this name dangerous. They thought since the name is cat and mouse, would they become cat or mouse? And if they become a mouse, who is the cat?

Lastly, some people were simply expressionless. These were the people who already knew the content of the First Round of the Competition. Ye Xiao was one of these people. He had long accepted the fact that he'll be sent to the Demon World, so he was long prepared to go.

Also, now that he has a trump card in his hand, he need not fear anymore. Although the trump card given to him could only be used once, it was still enough to scare many weaker Dao Manifestation Realm Demons.

Moreover, if the incarnation of Leader of Double Sword Sacred Land were to kill some Ancient Immortal Realm Demons or even Dao Manifestation Realm demons, he'll directly devour them. This way, his strength will definitely increase further.

So, Ye Xiao was not worried at all. Instead, he was very excited in his heart.

Going to Demon World was like once in a lifetime opportunity for Ye Xiao. There, he could kill countless demons and devour them.

By devouring them, he could increase his cultivation of the Fourth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. He might even complete cultivating the Fourth Layer. So, Ye Xiao was very excited at the moment.
