I am the emperor of Mengwang

However, in terms of the timing of awakening the 'ultimate skill,' Xiao was actually a bit later than Zekion.

Zechion awakened as the True Demon King during the ceremony of bestowing titles after defeating the Imperial Army, directly gaining the ultimate skill "King of Illusions".

Xiao, on the other hand, was awakened after the 'Celebration' and then obtained the ultimate skill 'King of Saints' and the 'King of Slaughter' bestowed by Mo Li.

So in terms of time, Xiao is later.

However, Xiao's foundation and control over power are far superior to Zekion's.

Therefore, after advancing to the 'True Demon King' level, Xiao's strength jumped to become the top combat power below the 'Cataclysmic' level.

They even took a half-step across that threshold.

Even with Mo Li's backup plan, he was able to fight against the 'Calamity-level' Blazing Dragon Velugrendo without being at a disadvantage.

Although they ultimately lost, this also acknowledged Xiao's formidable strength.

After Xiao completes his mission and returns, Mo Li will grant Xiao the authority of the Rock Authority. With the assistance of the Authority, Xiao will become even stronger, and may even be able to hold his own against the Scorching Dragon Velgarendor.

With the awakening of the 'ultimate skill' completed, this so-called awakening ceremony also officially came to an end.

Whether it was Benimaru and others who were "Demon Kingdom cadres", or the Ten Heroes of the Labyrinth who guarded the "Underground Great Labyrinth", or the many immortals, they all left this place one after another.

Before leaving, Moli and Rimuru jointly issued an order: to put aside all their affairs and responsibilities for this period of time.

Use the remaining time to train and master the 'ultimate power' you've acquired!

This is the most important thing right now!

Everything else needs to be put on hold for now.

However, the Demon Kingdom Federation will inevitably be significantly affected by the sudden loss of so many cadres.

After all, whether it's Benimaru as the 'General-in-Chief', Haku as the martial arts instructor, or Souei as the secret guard, they all hold important positions in the Demon Kingdom Federation.

The same applies to the Ten Heroes of the Labyrinth who guard the floors of the underground labyrinth!

The only ones who have little impact on the current situation of the 'Demon Kingdom Federation' are the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortals.

After all, they generally don't interfere in the operation of the Demon Kingdom Federation, nor do they hold positions in the Demon Kingdom Federation. Of course, this doesn't mean they're just freeloaders.

Whether as a warrior or as an immortal, helping those weak demons is what they are required to do.

As for the tasks that were delegated, they were assigned to the monsters who did not become Awakeners and obtain 'ultimate skills'.

While they can't compare to Benimaru and the others, they can still maintain the daily operations of the 'Demon Kingdom Federation'.

If one monster can't fill those vacancies, then bring in two. They don't need to perform as well as the other officers; just enough to keep things afloat is fine.

After all, when a major war breaks out, such peace will truly be nonexistent, or rather, impossible to maintain.

Those who had set aside their duties all headed towards the 'underground labyrinth'.

Because, apart from Rimuru and Mori, all the beings in the Demon Kingdom Federation who possess 'ultimate skills' are currently within the 'Underground Labyrinth'.

Moreover, mastering power means fighting, and the 'Underground Maze' is the largest training ground of the 'Demon Kingdom Federation', and also the place where everyone can unleash their full potential.

Of course, the Grand Arena is also indispensable.

As a result, the 'Underground Maze' and the 'Grand Arena' became the two places where people stayed the longest during this period.

Even weaker monsters can often see scenes of former great figures fighting and sparring in the 'Great Arena' and 'Underground Great Labyrinth'.

It even includes great figures like immortals and true lords who are rarely seen even after a hundred years of seclusion in the 'Demon Kingdom Federation'.

Of course, what caught their attention most was the sight of these important figures with bruises and swelling on their faces.

After all, in a friendly sparring match, how can you avoid getting hurt?!

And so, the underground labyrinth and the arena became the most popular places for the subjects of the 'Demon Kingdom Federation' during this period.

This resulted in a sharp increase in revenue for both the 'Grand Arena' and the 'Underground Maze' during this period.

For just a tiny amount of money, you can witness the battles of these world's top experts and the leaders of major powers.

It's such a great deal!

Today we'll see 'General' Benimaru versus Souei; tomorrow we'll see 'Diavolo' versus 'Zekien'; and the day after tomorrow we'll see Liuyun Borrowing Wind True Lord versus Lishui Dielang True Lord…

If you're lucky, you might even witness a master-disciple battle between Hakuro, who is 'Benimaru's teacher', and Benimaru!

It’s so exciting!

It's not just about spending money; even dying would be worth the price of admission.

Under such rigorous training, these beings, who had only recently acquired their 'ultimate skills,' experienced a dramatic increase in their mastery of those skills.

However, such training ultimately has its limits.

Benimaru and the others did seek guidance from the dragons 'Veldra' and 'Rota,' but who are Veldra and Rota? Wait! What dragons?!

Where would they find someone who knows how to teach?!

According to 'Veldra' and 'Rod', once you awaken an ultimate skill, you learn it instantly.

How could you not know a skill that you've successfully awakened yourself?!

At most, you just need to practice a little before you're proficient.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood!

These two dragons in front of us are definitely two naturally gifted individuals!

Self-awareness! You'll get it in no time!?

Is this something a human being should say?!

This is completely making things difficult for them!

You could say they really asked the wrong person.

Veldora is the most talented of the four remaining dragon species in the world. The reason why she was unable to defeat her older sister, the 'Scorching Dragon' Velgrando and the 'White Ice Dragon' Velsado, was simply because she had not undergone systematic training and enjoyed playing with numbers.

After all, even without the ultimate skill 'Veldra', she is still at the top of the pyramid in this world.

There is absolutely no need for practice or training.

However, after undergoing systematic training and studying Mo Li's legacy under 'Xia Er', and with Ruo Tuo as his sparring partner, his strength can be described as soaring like a rocket!

As for Rota, it's even easier to say. As the 'Rock Dragon King,' he is a 'King of Elements' and an 'anomaly of the world,' with talents far surpassing those of the dragon 'Veldra'!

After all, Verdura had not given Roda any promises since Roda's awakening.

Moreover, its ultimate skill 'King of the Earth' is a perfect combination with it, and it was completely mastered after awakening without much use!

In the end, everyone had no choice but to become challengers and take on these two dragon kings, whose strength and talent were both abnormally powerful!

Without exception, the final result is either being abused or on the way to being abused!
