"Boom, boom, boom..."
The voice from the Nether Ghost Bone Sword grew increasingly frantic, and the speed of its swings grew faster and faster.
Yet this did nothing to improve his situation.
The attacking power of these weapons was not the least bit inferior to his own Ode to Death.
But every swing of his sword was equivalent to using Ode to Death once. What about his opponent?
These hundreds of weapons were actually just one move?
Could you believe that?
What kind of nonsense was this?
Even bullying someone had to have limits, didn't it?
"Boom!"
The spear collided with the bone sword, unleashing a deafening roar. Strands of black Space Rifts spread between the bone sword and the spear.
The immense impact sent Nether Ghost flying backward.
The next moment, a sword came hurtling toward him, forcing Nether Ghost to swing his sword again to meet it.
"Boom!"
Nether Ghost was blasted back once more.
Golden streams of light swirled around Nether Ghost. Black and golden afterimages intertwined, setting off one powerful explosion after another across the Blood Battle Stage.
Finally, after dozens of exchanges, Nether Ghost was injured for the first time.
After that, as Roy became more adept at wielding the Gate of Babylon, Nether Ghost's situation grew increasingly perilous.
In the end, after barely enduring the attacks of several dozen more weapons, Nether Ghost spat out a mouthful of blood and suffered severe injuries.
After reaching the god level, one's body would be transformed by the Laws of the World into a God Body, which was generally difficult to damage.
Every God-level expert absorbed and stored divine power from the Elemental Ocean within their bodies. This divine power was enough for a God-level expert to completely restore their God Body twice.
God-level battles mainly relied on Law Profound Mysteries, so divine power consumption was not great.
However, if the God Body was damaged, restoring it consumed a tremendous amount of divine power.
Once divine power was exhausted, it had to be drawn anew from the Elemental Ocean. It would take at least a thousand years, perhaps even ten thousand years, to fill one's reserves again.
Nether Ghost's injuries had already consumed more than one-fifth of his divine power. If this continued, he might very well die here.
Left with no other choice, Nether Ghost retreated as he spoke.
"Lord Star, I concede."
Upon hearing Nether Ghost's words, the weapons besieging him instantly stopped attacking, turning into yellow Earth Element and dissipating.
"Wow, Lord Star is so strong."
"How is that possible? Nether Ghost has sixty-three consecutive victories. He's considered a powerhouse even among Seven-star Demons, yet someone like him actually lost?"
"Just who is this Star? Where did he come from? Why have we never heard his name before?"
"He seems to have come from Hell. I heard he's an elder of the Four Divine Beast Family."
"Tsk, now this is going to be interesting."
"Worth it, totally worth it. I gained so much from today's battle."
Outside the Blood Battle Stage, the spectators were initially unable to believe Nether Ghost had lost. After all, Nether Ghost was one of the people on Lotus Rock Island with the highest number of consecutive victories over the past hundred thousand years, and his strength ranked among the top ten on Lotus Rock Island.
Yet such a powerful figure had actually been defeated by Star.
It was clear that Star's claim yesterday that he wanted to achieve a "Hundred Consecutive Battles" was not empty talk.
If there truly were that many powerful opponents, Star might actually achieve the feat of a Hundred Consecutive Battles, rather than having to obtain Hundred Consecutive Victories through ten consecutive battles at a time as he did now.
If everyone had felt three days ago that Star might not necessarily achieve Hundred Consecutive Victories, then after Star defeated Nether Ghost, everyone believed he had at least a seventy percent chance of doing so and becoming Lotus Rock Island's first Hundred Battle Expert in the past ten thousand years.
Perhaps because Nether Ghost had come, the other Seven-star Demons had not registered. After Roy defeated Nether Ghost, the following nine battles were all only at the Six-star Devil level. Though they were not weak, none of them could withstand even one move from Roy.
Roy was a High-level God who had completely fused the Four Law Profound Mysteries. His own strength was firmly at the Seven-star Demon Level, and every movement he made carried immense power.
The moves he had developed ranged from those that could double the power of his Law Profound Mysteries to those that could increase it fivefold. The boost to his strength was comparable to the finest High-level God attack artifacts.
Of course, they were far inferior to Sovereign Artifacts.
Offensive Sovereign Artifacts could increase one's material attack by at least ten times. Combined with the Sovereign Artifact's own power, it was difficult to block a Sovereign Artifact's attack without an equivalent Sovereign Artifact or a Defensive Sovereign Artifact.
Of course, even with a Sovereign Artifact, it depended on who wielded it.
After all, an offensive Sovereign Artifact only enhanced material attacks, and it had to hit its target to take effect. With Elementalization based on Earth Element and Shrink Ground based on the Earth Travel Technique—two evasive techniques that made him nearly immune to material attacks and capable of near-Teleportation—Roy would have to be stupid to take a Sovereign Artifact's attack head-on.
That day, Roy's consecutive victories rose to Forty Consecutive Victories.
On the fifth day, two Seven-star Demons came to challenge Roy.
Although these two Seven-star Demons were not as strong as Nether Ghost, one was a Fifty Consecutive Victories expert with fifty-three consecutive wins, while the other was a Sixty Consecutive Victories expert with sixty-one consecutive wins. This delighted the people watching the battles on the Blood Battle Stage.
Perhaps because Roy had never dealt a killing blow during his battles, among the more than forty people who had fought him, the worst injuries anyone had suffered were merely minor wounds, and no one had died. This allowed the remaining Seven-star Demons to let go of their reservations.
By the sixth day, as many as seven Seven-star Demons had come to Lotus Rock Island to register for challenges against Roy.
Naturally, like everyone else, they all ultimately lost to Roy, allowing him to claim Sixty Consecutive Victories.
On the seventh day, even more Seven-star Demons arrived from other islands, allowing Roy to achieve fifteen consecutive victories that day.
Unlike the Seven-Star Elders of the Four Divine Beast Family, who were mostly experts in Law Profound Mysteries,
the Underworld also had no shortage of Seven-star Demon Level experts in the Rules.
Among today's fifteen battles, Roy encountered one Seven-star Demon who cultivated the Destiny Rule, two Seven-star Demons who cultivated the Death Rule, and one Seven-star Demon who cultivated the Destruction Rule.
To this day, Roy had not encountered even one expert who cultivated the Life Law, which showed just how rare the Life Law was.
Moreover, most people who cultivated the Life Law disliked fighting. The planes they chose were generally the Life Supreme Plane, the stronghold of Life Sovereign Vivian. As the first Paragon Rule Sovereign, no Lord God dared go to the Life Supreme Plane to make trouble for themselves.
Rather, aside from the few Lord Gods of the Life Element, many other Mid-level Lord Gods and Low-level Lord Gods wished to seek refuge under Life Sovereign Vivian and receive her protection.
These Rule experts also greatly broadened Roy's horizons.
