A dense sound echoed through the dense forest, as if a group of wild beasts were surrounding them. At the same time, Ji Jiayu's transparent world had already provided feedback on the specific location and number of the enemy, a total of six demon squads. Thirty demon soldiers, four of whom were fifth-rank Demon Venerable captains, and the rest were in normal configuration.

Compared to before, there was another fifth-rank Demon Venerable, and this Demon Venerable had never experienced day and night hunting, and his combat effectiveness was at its peak.

However, the situation of the selection team was also different, because of Ji Jiayu.

Ji Jiayu immediately ended communication with Ye Zihang and went straight to Song Yuhui.

"I'll hold off their captain for a while, and I'll leave the rest to you."

Hearing Ji Jiayu's voice, Song Yuhui turned his head to look. He frowned, wanting to say something, but Ji Jiayu had already crossed him and walked forward.

Ji Jiayu was dressed in black armor and had several black weapons attached to his back, which inexplicably gave Song Yuhui a sense of security. Song Yuhui didn't know why he felt this way.

Two seconds later, Song Yuhui shook his head, trying to put this unrealistic feeling behind him. Ji Jiayu only had the strength of a peak third-rank cultivator!

In this selector team, there were many peak third-rank cultivators, but in front of the devil, they were nothing but prey.

Seeing Ji Jiayu bypass Song Yuhui and walk to the front of the formation, Ye Zihang and Ding Lu were both shocked and hurriedly followed, while Ye Zihang grabbed Ji Jiayu's wrist.

"You don't want to die!"

Although they were likely to be surrounded and killed, if they went out alone, they would definitely be the first to be killed, and they would die a worthless death.

"Believe me." Ji Jiayu turned his head and glanced at Ding Lu and Ye Hang.

"It's not a question of believing it or not..."

Ye Zihang wanted to say something, but Ji Jiayu had already broken free from him and pulled out a black pistol from behind his back with his right hand.

Seeing this scene, the selectors around them all stepped forward, trying to form a defensive formation around Ji Jiayu. Although they didn't believe Ji Jiayu, they never abandoned his idea.

However, the next scene stunned them all.

Ji Jiayu's right hand lit up with golden light, and the light enveloped the black spear, causing it to also turn pale gold.

Seeing the pale gold weapon, the Demon Venerables and Yuan Demons hiding in the dense forest couldn't help but be frightened and began to prepare to defend or dodge.

However, it was of little use. "Boom!"

A low boom was heard, and Ji Jiayu threw the pale gold spear in his right hand. The spear pierced the sky, instantly piercing through a large tree, and struck its target—a fifth-rank mid-rank Demon Venerable!

"Boom!"

After the spear struck its target, another loud noise erupted, and a shockwave spread in all directions, lifting the trees it had just pierced, shattering them, and thick dust spread in all directions.

Following the dust, the fifth-rank mid-rank Demon Venerable fell to the ground in embarrassment. In front of him was a heavy and massive black shield, bearing the pale gold spear Ji Jiayu had just thrown.

At this moment, pale gold divine power continuously gushed out from the spear, enveloping the black shield, showing signs of eroding.

Not only that, but the light golden spear also pierced the heavy black shield, and a small portion of the spear tip pierced the black armor of the middle-ranked Fifth-Rank Demon Venerable, slicing his skin, and black blood slowly overflowed from the wound.

"This..."

"How is this possible?!"

Seeing this scene, all the voters were stunned, and they all stared at Ji Jiayu with disbelief.

Oh yeah! How is this possible? Didn't Ji Jiayu personally admit that he only possessed the strength of a peak Third Rank?

Furthermore, even possessing the strength of a peak Third Rank is shocking enough. You know, Ji Jiayu is only a teenager! He's only been cultivating for a few months!

If this incident hadn't happened in the Sacred Light World, at this life-and-death opportunity, they would have been shocked, but at this moment, they were completely devoid of that mood.

It was enough to reach the peak Third Rank, and now he had shot through the black shield, the black armor, and the skin that should have been as hard as steel with another shot. What kind of combat effectiveness was this? The author just said that the black pistol behind him was snatched, but it turned out to be true?.

"..."

Looking back nearby, Ye Zihang and Ding Lu opened their mouths wide in shock, finding it somewhat difficult to accept for a moment.

Song Yuhui's pupils had also initially constricted, but he was the team leader after all, and his reaction was extremely quick. He immediately roused everyone and launched a counterattack against the demons in the dense forest.

Most of the selectors present were third-rank Ming Ling and fourth-rank Ming Zun, either with divine skin textures and sacred bones, or with holy light particles and sacred circuits beneath their skin, all possessing a certain degree of combat ability.

For a moment, roars rang out in the dense forest, and trees snapped and fell from time to time.

At the same time, Ji Jiayu drew a second black spear from behind him, and divine power surged out of his body, enveloping the spear. The spiritual power that had enveloped the surroundings once again locked onto the fifth-rank Demon Venerable who had been struck earlier.

The locked-on demon lords' expressions changed drastically.

To deal with the demon hunters in the forest, they had already equipped themselves with shields, but they still couldn't stop his spear.

How high-quality his divine power was! How much divine power does he possess!

The demon soldiers responsible for searching and sweeping this forest are going crazy!

"Boom!"

As the spear shot out, another low explosion rang out. In the blink of an eye, the spear pierced the sky, passed through the trees, and struck the frantically fleeing Fifth-Rank Demon Venerable. He was surrounded by surging demonic energy, but it was no use.

The pale golden spear struck the black shield corroded by divine power. The black shield shattered, and the black armor beneath it, essentially lacking any protective ability, was pierced by the spear. The Fifth-Rank Demon Venerable was also nailed to the ground by the massive impact, his life unknown.

Ji Jiayu's treatment of this Fifth-Rank Demon Venerable was equivalent to buying time for the other three Fifth-Rank Demon Venerables. The three Fifth-Rank Demon Venerables were shrouded in demonic energy and were about to approach Ji Jiayu. Each of them held a black pistol. As the pistol shadows flitted about, black gunlight shot out.

Ji Jiayu hurriedly drew his black pistol to fight back.

"Dang dang dang!"

After all, the other party had three fifth-level Demon Venerables, and Ji Jiayu had no marksmanship to speak of, so he couldn't stop the gun. However, the gun struck Ji Jiayu's body, piercing through the black armor, only producing the sound of metal clashing.

Hearing the sound and seeing the scene of Ji Jiayu resisting the gun, many voters became even more shocked and found it incredible.

Only Song Yuhui, who was closest to him, clearly saw that every time the gun beam pierced Ji Jiayu's black armor, the divine skin beneath it would bloom with golden light, and it seemed as if a vast amount of divine power was gathering beneath Ji Jiayu's skin to resist.

Song Yuhui really wanted to ask him, where did you get so much divine power?

"What are you doing, idiot?"

Seeing the voters' attention slightly distracted, Song Yuhui hurriedly shouted, and he quickly rushed towards Ji Jiayu. As Song Yuhui waved his hand, a vast amount of divine power gathered in the air to form a sacred technique, helping Ji Jiayu resist the attacks of the fifth-level Demon Venerables together.

Song Yuhui himself was a fifth-level Ming Venerable, and he had the strength to fight a fifth-level Demon Venerable head-on, but he had to take care of the other electors beforehand, and he couldn't fully utilize his own strength.

The fifth stage of cultivation for both priests and priestesses was a stage of qualitative change in cultivation.

At the fifth stage, priests could begin to use a large number of sacred arts, and priestesses could draw sacred patterns, which could provide the practitioner with powerful offensive and defensive means.

Not only that, the divine power of a fifth-level Ming Venerable also possessed some special attributes, and the power of divine powers of different attributes, as well as the sacred arts and sacred patterns that could be used, also differed.

Overall, this was a powerful level.

"I'll use some enhancement sacred techniques,"

After arriving at Ji Jiayu's side, Song Yuhui hurriedly said.

Ji Jiayu was slightly surprised when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Can you increase your strength? I want to break through their defenses."

"Yes."

Song Yuhui's voice fell, and he didn't ask any more questions, and immediately began using his sacred technique.

Song Yuhui stood there, divine power overflowing from his body, flying and merging in extremely mysterious arcs, forming certain characters and patterns. Immediately afterward, a golden light shone brightly on Ji Jiayu's body.

At that moment, Ji Jiayu felt a kind of power clinging to him, and he didn't need to actively activate it; it would naturally exert its power.

"This is the True Armor Breaking Sacred Technique," Song Yuhui explained.

In this sacred art, justice is an attribute.

There are many divine power attributes, and it is said that they all originate from the qualities and will of the Sun Goddess. Generally, a cultivator's divine power at the early stage of the Fifth Order can have one to three attributes, four to six in the middle stage, seven to nine in the later stage, and ten at the peak. The most common attributes are justice, courage, light, faith, fighting spirit, revelation, and baptism. The rarer attributes are arbitration, demon-breaking, redemption, purification, divine punishment, annihilation, and so on.

With the correct armor-breaking technique, when Ji Jiayu swung the black spear, the pressure on the nearby fifth-rank demon venerables increased sharply. Ji Jiayu's divine power was already abundant and of high quality. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't use sacred techniques, those demon venerables would have died long ago.

No, he would.

Although he only knew one sacred technique, it was precisely because of this sacred technique that those demon venerables had to be cautious when approaching him, and they didn't dare get too close, for fear of being unable to defend themselves.

Furthermore, even if Ji Jiayu could only use divine power at first, the fifth-rank demon venerables didn't dare underestimate him, because his divine power was too strange; just touching their black armor would have a purifying effect.

Seeing that the fifth-rank demon venerable was seriously injured, and the three fifth-rank demon venerables entangled by Ji Jiayu and Song Yuhui, the morale of the twenty-year-old electorate suddenly rose greatly.

Their abilities weren't weak, nor were they inexperienced; after all, they had experienced the Sacred Radiance World countless times.

They were initially afraid of being suppressed, and they were heartless, but now that someone had seized the momentum, they naturally recovered.

The battle became intense and stalemate for a while.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"How strong is he..." The three Demon Venerables conversed in demon language, and they were all going crazy.

They thought they could suppress Ji Jiayu by relying on the advantages of his shield and black figures, but what they never expected was that he was so capable of fighting back. He hadn't shown any signs of fatigue so far, and he was able to fight back time after time.

From this perspective, if you wanted to defeat him, you would need at least six, or even seven, or eight Fifth-Rank Demon Venerables, or even Sixth-Rank Demon Venerables. But now the demon clan's main battlefield wasn't here at all, and they couldn't mobilize more manpower.

This was a bit difficult.

But they didn't panic. After all, there were many demon teams in this forest, and they could wait for support as long as they stalled for time.

However, another five minutes passed, and their demons were almost gone, and Ji Jiayu was still so excited that it frightened the three fifth-rank Demon Venerables. They couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.

"Why aren't they here yet?"

"Why don't we retreat first? This won't work."

Song Yuhui, on the side, was both excited and shocked when he saw this. His gaze gradually changed as he looked at Ji Jiayu. Was this the person the guides had high hopes for? Could he really be the final pick?
