Heaven-Burning Bear wore a mocking expression.
The next second, an indescribable sense of oppression descended over the entire arena.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure's entire body trembled, its eyes losing focus. It felt as though a mountain had been placed on its back, and it nearly collapsed on the spot.
In its eyes, Heaven-Burning Bear in the distance seemed like a divine beast, impossible to defeat or resist.
As its consciousness wavered, its Beast Tamer's words surfaced in its mind:
"The chances of taking down an emperor-level pet beast directly with Mutual Destruction are slim. If your opponent knocks you out with its sense of oppression, the chances of Mutual Destruction succeeding will be even smaller. You have to make your opponent actually hit you with a skill, and ideally, you should successfully cast Fate Curse before that hit lands."
"Trust me. As long as you can do all that, you'll have a good chance of triggering Mutual Destruction and taking down Mujiu Lili! You'll become the first emperor-stage pet beast in history to defeat an emperor-level pet beast at full strength!"
Xun Xun...
It was going to defeat an emperor-level pet beast...
It was going to defeat an emperor-level pet beast!
It was going to trigger Mutual Destruction!!!
It was going to make its name known across the stars!!!
"Xun Xun!!!"
An unprecedented surge of strength erupted inside Little Treasure. Its eyes regained focus, and it abruptly vanished from where it stood.
"Nether Ring Monarch has disappeared! It wasn't knocked out outright by Heaven-Burning Bear's sense of oppression!" Tao Jia exclaimed excitedly from the commentary booth.
The spectators, however, showed little reaction.
In interstellar competitions, there were emperor-stage pet beasts that could avoid being crushed outright by an emperor-level pet beast's sense of oppression. But that was merely futile resistance.
