Chapter 1297 - Third Round

Among the eleven smaller demon worlds conquered by Ajax, five of them belonged to the golden demon apostles and the biggest losers among the personal apostles of the five demon emperors.

Primordial demon emperor's personal demon apostles lost three smaller demon worlds and the rest of the demon apostles of three demon emperors lost a smaller demon world each.

"Let's communicate with the apostles of other demon emperors."

Even though they didn't know exactly how many smaller demon worlds the other demon apostles lost, they were sure that others also suffered the same fate as them.

So, they started communicating with the personal demon apostles of other demon emperors to estimate the casualties of their armies and come up with a new plan to invade the Purple stone world.

"Isn't it better to contact the demon emperors?"

One of the golden demon apostles suggested that they should contact the demon emperor.

"Idiot…wait a second. Let's get an estimate of the losses suffered by the other demon apostles before informing his majesty; otherwise, we will be punished if we don't give the full report."

The other golden demon apostles instantly rejected that idea and started having discussions with the other demon apostles.

...

Next day,

In the same colosseum where the first two rounds of the contest were held, everyone was settled in their places and getting excited about the third round.

Compared to yesterday, 80 percent of the exquisite chairs on the huge stage were filled leaving only 20 percent of them empty.

Among that 20 percent, the four main chairs were missing. Three of them belonged to the three protectors of the three provinces and the last one belonged to the Emperor of the Purple stone world, whom no one except for a selected few among the top cultivators of the Purple stone world had seen.

"So, are you ready for the third round?"

Nevertheless, the contest is not going to stop because everyone knew that it was not 100 percent guaranteed that they would attend the contest.

Their work is to protect the world from the other races that were always trying to invade the Purple stone world and if they enjoy their lives just like others, then the Purple stone world would be destroyed but they would still not have any idea about it.

The third round was also hosted by the same old minister from yesterday as he asked whether they were ready for the third round.

"Yes, sir."

All the young participants replied to the old minister with excited looks on their faces and even if they were not ready, no one was brave enough to say that they were not ready.

"So, listen carefully because I will not repeat my words the second time."

The old minister nodded his head as he continued, "The third round will be held in the secret realm owned by the Flerton royal family. If any of you guessed that this round is about surviving, then you are…..right."

As soon as he finished his words, many young participants became excited as they already guessed about the round after the old minister mentioned the third round yesterday.

Another reason for their excitement was because they had already necessary planning by forming teams with other young participants.

Overall, everyone was confident in their own plans that they would easily succeed as long as they followed the plan.

Nevertheless, they suppressed their emotions as they listened to the old minister who continued to speak about the third round.

"As for whom you have to survive, of course, it will be from the other participants. The main aim of this round is for you to survive until there were only 100 participants left in the secret realm."

'What?'

However, the next words ofo the old minister made everyone raise their brows because currently they are more than 10000 young participants and among them, only one percent of them will be passed.

"Since you are the future of the Purple stone world, the Flertono kingdom didn't want you to die in a contest. So, it made an arrangement to take care of that."

While saying that, the old minister signalled a few royal guards who walked forward with medium-sized boxes in their hands.

"Take the space ring from those boxes and wear them before entering the secret realm. When you feel like you might die, then just think about leaving the secret realm and you will be immediately teleported out ofo the secret realm."

"However, that means you are successfully out of the contest and you will be given any rank in the contest."

"So, whether you hide, fight or run, it doesn't matter as there are no spirit beasts or any dangers in the secret realm other than the young participants who will be entering the secret realm along with you."

The old minister said everything he wanted to say as the young participants listened to it while taking a spatial ring from the boxes brought by the royal servants.

"So, are you ready to enter the secret realm now?"

Since he explained everything, the old minister didn't waste any time as he directly opened the portal right in front of the huge stage for the young participants to enter.

"Remember, there is no time limit for this round. It might be over in a few hours or it might even take a few days. So, try your best in surviving till the end."

These were the last words the old minister said as he sat down on his chair while summoning hundreds of flying mirrors.

'Let's go.'

'You remember our plan, right?'

'We should gather at one place as soon as possible and eliminate as many young participants as possible.'

.

.

The young participants saw the flying mirrors in the air and knew what they were used for. After seeing them, they became even more determined to give their best for this round.

At the same time, they whispered about their plans before entering the secret realm.
