Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 7: Lone Warrior Annihilates the Beast Demon Camp, Holy City Report

Wearing a brand-new "Thor's Embrace" magic robe, Moonbeam arrived at the agreed location on time.

His deep purple robes shimmered with fine lightning patterns in the sunlight, perfectly complementing his light purple short hair.

The inspector waiting there was an eighth-rank Emperor Assassin from the Assassin's Temple.

He was shrouded in a black bodysuit, his gray-black eyes were as cold as knives, and his aura was so faint that he seemed ready to disappear into the shadows at any moment.

"Your Excellency the Inspector." Moonlight respectfully performed a standard mage's salute.

The other party nodded slightly and handed over a map and a token: "This is a distribution map of the demon strongholds around Jialing Pass. You need to choose your own targets, successfully hunt down five demons, and return safely to pass the test."

His voice was devoid of any emotion: "I will not provide any assistance during this period unless you voluntarily withdraw from the competition."

"Understood." Yuehui solemnly accepted the map and token.

Originally, this assessment was supposed to be conducted by all four participants from the Magic Temple, but considering Moonbeam's unique lightning abilities, Li Zhengzhi specially arranged a separate assessment for him.

Moonlight unfolded the leather map, his gaze sweeping across the markings with lightning speed.

My fingertip paused briefly at a red dot—that was the patrol camp of the Kuli tribe.

The Bitterling Demons of the Bitterling Clan generally possess fourth-tier combat power, while the elite Great Bitterling Demons among them reach the sixth-tier level.

"This is it." Yuehui's lips curled into a slight smile.

He deftly rolled up the map, and without further ado, turned and sped off towards the border.

In the shadows a hundred meters away, the inspector nodded slightly.

His figure spread out in the air like ink, always maintaining a precise distance, like a silent ghost following closely behind.

……

Moonlight darted swiftly across the wilderness, its form sweeping across the withered grass like the wind.

He deliberately controlled his speed, ensuring that he was neither too slow and wasted time, nor too fast and attracted attention.

The Emperor Thorn No. 5 followed silently behind, its brows furrowing unconsciously.

Along the way, they had encountered several demon patrols, but the young man in front of them ignored them and continued to advance deeper into the demon territory.

"What exactly is his goal?" Emperor Thorn No. 5 murmured.

As an examiner personally assigned by the Assassin Temple Master, Saint Moon, he received an extraordinary mission—not only was he required to monitor Moonbeam's actions throughout, but he was also explicitly told that he must intervene to save her in times of crisis.

This special treatment piqued the interest of even the well-traveled assassin.

Just then, Yuehui suddenly stopped.

He took out an exquisite medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out a glossy pill, and put it into his mouth.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted on the night breeze, and Emperor Thorn No. 5 keenly recognized it as a precious elixir capable of continuously restoring inner spiritual power.

Emperor Thorn No. 5's eyes twitched violently as he watched Moonlight casually swallow the precious pill.

(Is this kid eating pills like candy?)
He cursed inwardly, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.

Having cultivated for so long, he has rarely even seen ordinary pills, let alone such high-grade ones.

If Yuehui knew his thoughts, he would definitely nod seriously—these pills were indeed easy to obtain.

He only needs to focus on cultivation and developing new skills; as for elixirs and equipment?

Naturally, supplies were provided by Li Zhengzhi and his father, Agares, who was "physically a demon but mentally a human."

Moonlight lay hidden behind the earthen slope, carefully observing the Kuli tribe's camp.

About a dozen or so bird demons were resting, clearly having just finished their patrol.

"Thunder, today I'll consecrate you!" He gently stroked the Thunder Sword at his waist.

After five years of nurturing with spiritual energy, this sword has recovered from the Spirit Demon level to the Glorious level, increasing its amplification of lightning skills by a full 10%!
With the enhancement of the "Embrace of Thor" magic robe, Moonshine was confident he could instantly kill any demon below the sixth rank. He closed his eyes and concentrated, the gem on his sword hilt beginning to crackle with dangerous lightning.

Suddenly, the eyes of Emperor Thorn No. 5, who was a hundred meters away, widened – fine lightning bolts appeared around the boy!

This discovery almost gave him away.

"Thunderbolt Dance!"

Yuehui swung his sword down, and in an instant, heavenly lightning struck!

Blinding lightning engulfed the entire camp, and violent thunder carved scorched furrows into the ground.

Emperor Thorn No. 5 unconsciously swallowed.

(So... the lineage of thunder magic hasn't been severed after all?)
Just as the thunder raged, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the center of the camp.

A giant bird demon, over two and a half meters tall, broke through the lightning barrier. Its body was charred black, yet it remained ferocious—it was the elite of the Kuli tribe, the Great Bird Demon!
It was enveloped in blue lightning, and the spear in its hand was several times thicker than that of an ordinary avian demon. It was this protective layer of lightning that allowed it to survive the thunderstorm just now.

"Gah—!" The Great Beast Demon's eyes turned bloodshot, and its spear pierced towards Moonlight's throat like a venomous snake.

"Watch out!" Emperor Thorn No. 5 couldn't help but exclaim, his hand already gripping the dagger tightly.

But Yuehui remained calm and composed. The lightning patterns on his robe suddenly lit up and instantly condensed into an egg-shaped purple shield.

"clang"

With a crisp sound, the spear was firmly blocked.

"Thunderous Slash!"

Moonlight gripped the sword with both hands, and the blade emitted blinding lightning.

A bolt of purple lightning shot out from the sword's edge, piercing straight from the top of the Great Bird Demon's head to its feet!
“Sizzle—”

A flash of lightning struck, and the Great Bird Demon's body froze in mid-air for a moment before neatly splitting in two.

The charred corpse, emitting wisps of smoke, collapsed heavily to the ground.

Emperor Thorn No. 5 still held the dagger in his hand, but he was completely stunned.

(Is this guy a mage or a warrior?)
Emperor Thorn No. 5 watched as Moonlight crouched down, dug a blood-stained magic crystal from the corpse of the Great Bird Demon, wiped it off casually, and put it in his pocket.

"Your Excellency Inspector, have I passed the assessment?" Yuehui asked, turning around.

Emperor Ci then seemed to wake from a dream, nodding blankly.

He stared at the longsword at Yuehui's waist and the robes he wore, inwardly cursing:

(This kind of monster, capable of killing a sixth-tier demon with a single sword strike, still needs to participate in the Demon Hunter selection?)
He now finally understood why the Lord of the Holy Moon Palace valued this young man so much.

"The Palace Master is indeed far-sighted," Emperor Thorn No. 5 thought to himself.

……

Ten days later, in the Holy City.

This magnificent city stands at the center of the Alliance, a core fortress built with the combined power of the six great temples after the Dark Ages.

The entire city has a perfect hexagonal layout, symbolizing the equal and shared governance of the six temples.

Yuehui followed Lin Xin through the city gate, which was twenty meters high, and the sight before him made him stop in his tracks.

The wide central avenue can accommodate eight carriages abreast, and the buildings on both sides are made of white granite, which gleams in the sunlight.

"Impressive, isn't it?" Lin Xin smiled and nudged Yuehui with his elbow. "I was stunned when I first came here with my grandfather. This is the political center of the Alliance; all major decisions are made in that government building."

He pointed to the domed building in the distance, "Let's go, let's go to the temple registration area first."

"it is good!"
