Black Heaven's Blood-Fighting Arena, a Battle Destined to End in Defeat
War has finally broken out, an earth-shattering battle erupting over the ownership of a corpse.
However, the location was in the Outer Academy.
That is, Foreign Lands.
Above the arena, the dark sky hung low, like an inverted sea of ink.
This ink-like color itself is a manifestation of the Principle the Foreign Lands Black Mist, which has a natural corrosive effect on cultivators in the Three Thousand Provinces.
This is something everyone knows, and it's where the balance of this battle lies.
However, the battle was not initially one-sided.
A powerful figure emerged from the Alien Race camp and landed steadily opposite Chu Wujiu's "Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment.
He had an arrogant face and four arms, two of which were crossed in front of his chest, giving him an arrogant demeanor.
With his other two arms, he held a crimson shield with flowing lava patterns in one hand and a long sword burning with flames in the other.
"I've heard that in your Three Thousand Provinces there is a person who, with the power of Half-Venerable, defeated Supreme Being."
The four-armed Alien Race grinned, revealing gleaming white teeth, his tone laced with undisguised contempt and provocation, "Coincidentally, what I excel at is crushing the bones of you so-called geniuses."
"Today, even without unleashing the Heaven and Earth Law, these two Law Treasure alone are enough to defeat you—"
He hadn't finished speaking.
Chu Wujiu didn't even look at him.
The manipulation of "Destiny Aspect of Killing and Judgment" has already begun!
The enormous phantom of the halberd in Dharma Manifestation's hand, which seemed capable of cleaving through chaos, suddenly slashed down without warning!
Fast! It's incredibly fast!
That's domineering to the extreme!
The four-armed Alien Race's sinister smile froze instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and he only had time to frantically pour all his Law Power into the shield. The lava patterns on the shield surface suddenly lit up, transforming into a solid barrier of flames.
However--
"Who do you think you are? What are you pretending for!"
With a roar from Chu Wujiu, the Heavenly Dharma Manifestation's battle halberd arrived!
Click!!!
A crisp, heart-stopping cracking sound rang out.
The crimson shield, flowing with lava, instantly cracked like a spiderweb the moment it touched the halberd's blade, as if struck by a giant hammer!
Then, it exploded with a deafening roar! Countless burning fragments scattered in all directions!
The halberd continued its downward strike without pause.
Without the shield to stop them, the four-armed Alien Race didn't even have time to scream before it was completely vaporized by the halberd's light.
Only a deep halberd mark remained on the spot.
Instant kill!
Moreover, both the person and their prized magical Law Treasure were instantly killed!
Chu Wujiu then slowly raised his halberd, its tip pointing towards the Alien Race camp, his voice calm yet carrying a chilling edge:
"I'm taking him away today, and those who try to stop me—"
"Come up on stage!"
A brief Deathly Stillness.
"Arrogant!" A red-haired Alien Race was the first to rush out.
"You killed my kin and now you want to steal their bodies... What a pipe dream!"
"The Heaven and Earth Law? The Blood Flame Heaven-Swallowing Mad Lion Aspect!"
With a furious roar, the eighty-foot-tall Flame Lion King materialized on the arena.
The fiery lion's mane danced wildly, and it opened its massive maw, spewing out a crimson torrent of flames that could incinerate the void, hurtling straight at Chu Wujiu!
"Blood Flame Burning Heaven!"
Before the heatwave even arrived, the terrifyingly high temperature had already caused ripples to appear on the barrier at the edge of the arena.
Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Chu Wujiu, standing between the eyebrows of the Dharma Manifestation, remained indifferent, only gripping the Heaven-Opening War Halberd tightly in his hands.
However, just as he was about to make his move—
Suddenly, flames shot into the sky behind us!
A flame even more intense than the crimson torrent, like an ancient fire dragon awakening, roared and swept across the entire area behind the arena!
"You think you're worthy to play with fire?!"
With a deafening roar, Yan Wujin crashed onto the arena like a meteor!
He was suspended in mid-air, his red hair dancing wildly, his eyes blazing with a furious rage that could incinerate everything.
"The Heaven and Earth Law? Heaven-Burning Sea-Boiling God-Devil Aspect!"
As that sound faded...
A hundred-foot-tall Dharma Manifestation with three heads and six arms, standing on a sea of fire, suddenly descended, even larger and more violent than the Blood Flame Lion.
Yan Wujin didn't even give Chu Wujiu time to react, and ignored the roaring crimson flames that were coming.
He manipulated his Dharma Manifestation, raising its massive, burning foot towards the arena floor—
One foot stomps down!
Boom--!!!
Centered on the giant Dharma Manifestation foot, crimson-gold flames exploded and spread like a raging tide! Wherever the flames passed, the arena's stone slabs melted and evaporated, and the space itself was scorched and distorted!
This raging tide of flames arrived faster than the spewing torrent of fire, instantly meeting the charging Blood Flame Heaven-Swallowing Mad Lion Aspect and engulfing it completely!
"--?!"
The red-haired Alien Race's expression changed drastically. He activated the Heaven and Earth Law and leaped up, attempting to break free from the sea of fire.
But would Yan Wujin give him that chance?
The sea of fire coalesced into a pillar of flame that shot skyward, imprisoning him within.
"Burn me to ashes!!"
Pfft--!
A muffled thud, like wet wood being thrown into a furnace, exploded.
The Blood Flame Heaven-Swallowing Mad Lion Aspect struggled wildly within the pillar of fire, its claws tearing and blood flames erupting, yet it was like a flying insect trapped in amber, all resistance firmly imprisoned by the absolute heat and power.
Finally, with a desperate scream, it completely disintegrated, exploding into a shower of sparks!
The Dharma Manifestation was forcibly shattered, and the red-haired Alien Race inside, no longer protected by the Dharma Manifestation, instantly turned into charcoal.
From taking the stage to defeat and death, it was only a matter of ten breaths.
Yan Wujin stood Dharma Manifestation's eyebrows, twisted his neck, making a cracking sound, glanced at the Alien Race below the stage who had turned to charcoal, and spat:
"Playing with fire? Bah! You dare to challenge me?"
"Besides, we already said we didn't kill them, don't you understand!"
Below the ring.
At the edge of the arena, Ye Lingchuan, Li Xuan, Ji Wuchen, and Zhao Lingyun stared at the Dharma Manifestation on the stage, which had not yet completely extinguished its flames, their expressions varying.
"I told him to go one by one and help each other, but why wouldn't he listen?" Ji Wuchen sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"If he were willing to follow orders, he wouldn't be Yan Wujin." Li Xuan stood beside him and shook his head slightly.
Ye Lingchuan listened to their conversation, his lips twitching slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he simply said calmly, "That's fine too."
His gaze fell upon the Alien Race forces opposite him, who were growing increasingly agitated by their repeated setbacks, yet were also subtly suppressed by something:
"His attack was fierce enough. If the Alien Race continue to test us, they will only suffer more casualties. Forcing them to show their true strength might make this battle clearer sooner."
"That's also the Alien Race's goal—to waste our time with some worthless fry," a slightly deep voice said.
It's Zhao Lingyun.
He raised his right hand and opened his palm.
Beneath the skin of the palm, faint wisps of extremely light gray-black mist could be seen moving and seeping, as if they were alive.
He channeled his Spiritual Power, trying to force it out, but the Black Mist clung to him like a maggot, penetrating even deeper and bringing a stinging pain and a feeling of stagnation in his Spiritual Power.
"The 'Black Mist' from Foreign Lands... I didn't take it seriously when I heard rumors about it, but I only realized how terrifying it was when I actually encountered it."
"If we don't use our Dharma Manifestation, we can barely resist it. But once we unleash our full power, the speed at which the Black Mist erodes our defenses will increase several times over."
As Zhao Lingyun spoke, he raised his head, looking up at the several fiercely clashing Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation above the arena, and at the dark hue in the sky, his voice heavy:
"Although the situation is still manageable at the moment, if things continue like this, we will lose..."
"No."
"Yes, you will die."
After all, this is Life and Death Battle.
