Silence momentarily ruled the arena. “Very well, since you have decided, I will not ask again. I won’t explain at length, as the rules remain the same. I will only tell you the reward. If you can defeat ten people, you will receive twenty million Chaos Stones.” The announcer’s voice ended, and the crowd roared once more. Most still couldn’t believe it, while a small number began to watch with deep curiosity. Meanwhile, Xiao Tian stood in the middle of the isolated world, motionless. Xiao Tian’s declaration did not only shock the crowd. Even Situ Yu, who was recovering in the building where he rested, was surprised. Though his body remained seated cross-legged, his divine consciousness continued to monitor the martial arena. “I want to see whether he can truly fight the fifteenth rank, or if he is merely asking for a beating. If he truly can defeat the fifteenth rank, then he qualifies to be my rival in the future,” he thought as he gazed at the energy projection screen displaying

In an instant, a chilling aura enveloped the air around them. Yingying stood tall, her body trembling softly as divine energy began to flow. The atmosphere shifted drastically. “So forgive this young lady,” she said again with a thin smile that was no longer merely seductive, but also threatening. “I might be a little cruel.” As soon as her words ended, her figure vanished without a trace. Her movement was too fast. Even the spectators with above-average power could not follow her motion. “That demon woman has moved. That young man named Xiao Tian is truly unlucky. He immediately got the opponent ranked second. Even though Yingying could only raise her realm to the fourteenth rank, she had already killed more than thirty people at the fifteenth rank,” said one of the spectators anxiously. “The unluckiest thing is, Yingying has already displayed her killing move. That’s really bad luck for Xiao Tian,” replied another, accompanied by a shake of the head and a sigh of pity. Yet ami

That blood-red energy did not only envelop Yingying’s hair but also seeped into the weapons in her hands. The two black daggers trembled softly, coated in the same energy that radiated powerfully into the surrounding air. Each blade seemed alive, as if it breathed together with its owner. Yingying grinned. Her smile was terrifying, leaving behind a feral impression that made most people in the arena shiver. The oppressive aura from her body expanded, as if trying to devour the space around the isolated arena. “Yingying has never shown that power in battle. If she’s revealing her true strength now, it means that young man named Xiao Tian is truly strong,” said a spectator, his voice low yet enough to make the atmosphere around him grow even more tense. Yingying’s cultivation rose rapidly, her divine energy surging without end. The layer of blood-red aura surrounding her body thickened, spinning into a massive vortex that completely enveloped her. In an instant, her power broke throu

That question clung to her face; Yingying saw in a single second the broader implications beyond a mere duel. That someone from the current generation recognized that name meant something that could not be ignored. “Why are you asking through voice transmission? Are you afraid to reveal your identity?” Xiao Tian asked again. Xiao Tian’s tone was gentle yet piercing, aimed to control his opponent and provoke a reaction. The way he spoke created a pause, forcing Yingying to choose between responding or acting. “Bastard, I can’t let you live, I must kill you!” Yingying’s expression turned into pure rage. That sentence came out without compromise, the first command serving as a definitive response to the threat of her newly exposed identity. Yingying slashed her own hand, and then her blood began to be absorbed by both of her daggers. The motion was swift and deliberate. With one determined cut, the blood flowed and was immediately taken by the daggers, becoming the fuel for a ritua

"Be careful! That boy can move through spatial gaps. He understands the power of space, don’t let him attack!" shouted one of them through a quick voice transmission. They acted immediately. In less than a second, the twenty-seven people surrounded Xiao Tian from all directions, forming a large circular formation. Their divine energies merged, creating a vortex of pressure that locked the space around Xiao Tian. However, Xiao Tian only smiled faintly. In an instant, his body disappeared. The air where he had stood trembled slightly, and at the same time, one of the Supreme Divine Kings was thrown backward with his head exploding. WHOOSSHH! BAANG! Xiao Tian’s body reappeared at the right side of the arena, then vanished again before his opponent could react. Each time he appeared, one headless body fell. Fire and lightning intertwined around the arena, leaving a brief flash of light each time he moved. Explosions echoed one after another. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The energy of fire a
