Chapter 958: A Hearty Meal

Even though Xu Yang and his team had suppressed their aura and restrained their inherent power to the greatest extent, they still felt a lingering apprehension.

Moreover, based on the Enforcement Elder's recent remarks, if Xu Yang's Glory Team successfully completes this Demonic Dragon Trial, the third-ranked team among the top three strongest in the original Seven Demonic Dragon Tribulations would be entirely ousted from the top three, forfeiting all their current privileges and status.

This would be an unimaginable challenge for them.

Considering all these factors, Xu Yang's Glory Team joining the core of the Demonic Dragon Legion was not good news for any of the other teams in the legion.

Unfortunately, there was no other way; the Elder Council needed to leverage their value, so this door naturally had to be opened for them.

As for the path that awaited Xu Yang's Glory Team beyond this door, that was entirely within their control.

The banquet concluded smoothly. Throughout the meal, Xu Yang and the seven members of the Glory Team chatted and laughed, clinking glasses and thoroughly enjoying their food. In contrast, the other top figures from the Seven Demonic Dragon Tribulations teams, who had attended out of deference to the Enforcement Elder, looked dejected and silent. After a few token bites, they quickly excused themselves and left for various reasons.

In the end, the entire table laden with delicacies became almost like a private family feast for Xu Yang's Glory Team.

"Hahaha, Boss, this meal was incredibly satisfying! Just for this meal, our trip here was worth it!"

Lister truly made no attempt to hide his excitement. The Joker, seated beside him, was relatively calm, savoring the fine wine in his hand glass after glass.

As for Guglas, the barrel-like fellow, it goes without saying he ate barely any food from start to finish, instead specifically choosing from the almost unlimited supply of various vintage wines and drinking his fill.

It was no easy feat to fill his large belly with pure vintage wine.

"Alright everyone, you now have three days to prepare. After three days, I will personally lead you to the Demonic Dragon Trial space."

However, upon hearing the Enforcement Elder's words, Xu Yang immediately spoke: "Excuse me, Elder, could we skip these three days of preparation?

The seven of us brothers are ready to undertake the trial at any time!"

Hearing Xu Yang's words, the Enforcement Elder in front of them couldn't help but be greatly surprised: "Are you sure? In your current drunken state, I'm afraid you'll be completely wiped out shortly after entering the Demonic Dragon Trial battlefield!

That's no place for a game!"

Xu Yang couldn't be bothered to argue further with the man. Rather than staying in a place where they didn't belong, it was better to start the trial immediately.

There was no room for hesitation. Even if the seven members of the Glory Team were severely wounded, let alone just having had too much to drink, there were only a handful of forces in this world capable of eliminating all seven of them at once.

Furthermore, with Boss Xu Yang present, anyone wishing to harm those around him would need to think long and hard.

The Enforcement Elder nodded: "There's nothing stopping you. As long as you sign a life-and-death pact, I can immediately open the door to the Demonic Dragon Trial battlefield for you."

Upon receiving his approval, Xu Yang immediately gave an affirmative reply. Then, led by the Elder, the seven signed their respective life-and-death pacts. After completing these necessary procedures, the Enforcement Elder personally led Xu Yang's team to the front of this incredibly exquisite portal.

The shimmering aqua-blue light gave off an ethereal and dreamy impression.

Just by observing the energy fluctuations from this door, it was impossible to imagine the horrifying purgatory concealed behind it.

Immediately after, the Enforcement Elder gently placed his palm on the surface of the portal, and a faint, reddish glow enveloped it, materializing on the door's surface.

Following that, came orange, yellow, green, cyan... Each change in color signified a proportional increase in the power the Enforcement Elder infused into it.

It was at this moment that Guglas quickly realized the Elder's sole purpose in doing this: to fundamentally increase the difficulty level of the Demonic Dragon Trial.

"Enforcement Elder, the blue challenge level should already be the limit our team can bear! There's no need to keep increasing the difficulty."

However, the Enforcement Elder's demeanor had changed entirely. He sharply turned around and swept his gaze over all the members of Xu Yang's Glory Team with a slightly mocking expression.

"Do you truly believe I genuinely wanted to invite you to join the Seven Demonic Dragon Tribulations? You probably don't realize that the leader of the third-ranked team among the Seven Demonic Dragon Tribulations is my own nephew, and he is the most crucial force supporting me in my role as Enforcement Elder.

If I were to simply let you pass, who would then support my position within the Elder Council?

Your presence here was fundamentally intended to take away my livelihood. That's why I personally orchestrated this scheme, using the Demonic Dragon Trial as an opportunity to bury all of you here completely!

Regrettably, you have already signed the life-and-death pact, and hidden behind this door lies the deepest secret of the Demonic Dragon Legion.

Unless you experience it yourselves, you will never be able to imagine how terrifying it truly is! Perishing in this place is simply your destined end."

The Enforcement Elder laughed maniacally. Just then, Ling Yao and others beside him, who wanted to attack him immediately, were forcefully restrained by Xu Yang's aura.

"No matter what he does, we don't need to act. Don't forget, we intended to use this Demonic Dragon Trial to uncover the true secrets of the Demonic Dragon Legion.

There must be a great opportunity hidden within. While it might be a tool for them to eliminate us, for us, it's the ultimate treasure trove.

Since he's practically handing us this opportunity, why wouldn't we take it? As for killing this pathetic fool, that chance will certainly come."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, everyone suddenly understood. They ceased their resistance, allowing the Enforcement Elder to eventually raise the power level to a purple glow.

Clearly, this was the highest possible specification for the Demonic Dragon Trial. Not even the strongest individuals from previous Seven Demonic Dragon Tribulations had ever experienced such a trial!

As of now, within the entire Demonic Dragon Legion, only the three most powerful elders from the Elder Council and the three true foundational figures of the Demonic Dragon Legion had undergone their own Demonic Dragon Trials.

In fact, even those three old figures had entered their Demonic Dragon Battlefield at the peak blue level, thereby gaining the opportunity for a breakthrough.
