After saying his piece, Sett couldn't be bothered to bicker any further with Dark Star Venerable and logged off immediately, leaving him fuming.

"Lord King." The main reason Sett was acting so arrogant was that he had Zhenlian King by his side.

No matter how impressive Dark Star Venerable might be, he was at most a Military Lord level immortal. He couldn't even defeat a Marquis level immortal, let alone a King level one.

One had to understand that the gap between immortals wasn't just a little; it was a massive, astronomical chasm.

The most basic immortals had just entered the realm and didn't even possess an Undying Body.

Military Lord level immortals, however, were those with some strength who had successfully forged an Undying Body.

An Undying Body meant that one's soul imprint was completely etched into every single cell. Even if the body were blasted to smithereens, as long as a single cell fragment remained, one could reform the body, albeit at the cost of some energy.

And that was not even mentioning the even more formidable Marquis and King level immortals.

Even a thousand Dark Star Venerables would be no match for Zhenlian King.

For Zhenlian King, dealing with such an immortal god would be as easy as flipping her hand.

"What's wrong?" Zhenlian King asked.

Sett recounted the events of the past two days to Zhenlian King, neither exaggerating nor omitting anything; he simply stated the facts as they had occurred.

Although he had acted cocky, he still needed to mention it. What if Dark Star Venerable had connections with the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company and used a favor to track his location and come after him?

After all, Sett had infuriated the man, and there was no telling what he might do.

"Oh? Dark Star Venerable, hmph, just a petty Military Lord level immortal. A trivial matter," Zhenlian King said, waving her hand dismissively.

"Although you haven't called me Master yet—and I know you have your pride and intend to wait until you become a personal disciple to change how you address me—you are still my named disciple. If he dares to make a move, I will ensure he never returns," Zhenlian King continued.

"Don't let your mind wander to useless things. Improving your strength is what truly matters. Once you become a powerhouse like me, or even like Zhenyuan Venerable, you could make Dark Star Venerable lick your boots if you wanted," Zhenlian King said with disdain.

Indeed, the universe was incredibly dark, and only one's own strength was the truth.

Sett nodded, reflecting on how dark this universe truly was.

He was truly lucky to have a King level powerhouse by his side.

However, he possessed four Innate Secret Techniques, so he was surely incredibly powerful. Even though he only had two right now, he likely had few rivals at his own level.

As long as he became a Giant Axe Warrior, he would be a personal disciple of a King level powerhouse, and his status would surely skyrocket.

Not to mention becoming a Golden Giant Axe Warrior, which would make him a disciple of a Venerable.

A Venerable was a powerhouse who could create a massive universe country with a single thought; they were incredibly formidable and the true masters of the universe.

I believe that in time, the name of The Boss will also shake the universe, Sett thought to himself.

In the Killing Field duel space, Sett felt encouraged by Zhenlian King and hurriedly began his duels.

Having achieved a 500-win streak, his standards were naturally very high; he only sent invitations to those with at least a seven-star rating.

However, there weren't many powerhouses with a seven-star rating or higher, and they also had to be online at the same time, so he always had to wait a while before finding a suitable target to challenge.

"You're the one, Wind Swordsman." Sett looked at this eight-star rated powerhouse called 'Wind Swordsman'.

'Wind Swordsman' possessed the strength of a Planet level nine, his domain had reached the third level, and his practical combat experience was terrifyingly high.

Sett was naturally full of fighting spirit and accepted the duel request from 'Wind Swordsman'.

The scene shifted to the ten-kilometer-wide arena.

Standing opposite Sett was a youth holding a two-meter-long sword. He was thin, but his presence was imposing.

"To think you have a 500-win streak; you must have some impressive skills. But I believe you are no match for me. Let me be the one to end your streak this time!" The hoarse voice of 'Wind Swordsman' came through, radiating confidence.

"I've heard that line plenty of times, but they all end up the same way: falling beneath my fists." Since his opponent was engaging in pre-match trash talk, Sett didn't show any weakness and retorted.

After all, simple duels were boring, especially when the pre-match trash talk was particularly outrageous; it made defeating them all the more satisfying.

"Hmph, I am not one of those weaklings. I want to see whether your fists are harder or my sword is sharper!" 'Wind Swordsman' declared.

The two-meter-long sword was unsheathed. The man's aura shifted, as if he and the sword had become one, appearing quite formidable.

"Then let's get started!" Seeing his opponent draw his sword, Sett released his domain and prepared to fight.

A faint golden light emanated from Sett, enveloping the space with him at the center.

"Don't think you're the only one with a domain!" 'Wind Swordsman' released his own.

A white Wind Domain erupted from the man's body, but it was suppressed by Sett's Domain of Metal.

"What? His domain can actually suppress mine? Mine is a third-level Wind Domain—could he be at the fourth level?" Wind Swordsman was shocked. Who would have thought this opponent called 'The Boss' would be so absurd?

To think a Planet level nine had at least a fourth-level domain.

"But a high-level domain doesn't mean it's used well. Take this!" The man shouted, and his two-meter sword thrust forward.

Combined with his third-level Wind Domain, the entire blade seemed to carry a massive tornado as it pierced toward Sett.

Haymaker!

Sett didn't dare to be careless and immediately unleashed his Haymaker.

In an instant, a massive golden fist appeared in front of Sett, slamming into the incoming sword.

BOOM!

The collision of their two ultimate moves erupted into a massive shockwave, forcing both Sett and the Wind Swordsman to retreat several steps.

"What a powerful secret technique!" the Wind Swordsman retreated, his feet scraping against the ground as he thought in astonishment.

He uses his domain so skillfully. Even though I have a fourth-layer domain, mine is still incredibly crude, Sett was also secretly shocked.

"Again!" Golden light erupted from Sett's fists as he unleashed Pummel.

Suddenly, his hands itched with an unbearable desire to fight, and his speed as he charged toward the Wind Swordsman increased significantly.

"It seems I have no choice but to use this move." The Wind Swordsman saw Sett charging toward him at lightning speed.

"Eye of the Gale!" The two-meter-long sword spun into a massive cyclone, resembling a hurricane, with the blade acting as the eye at the center of the storm, concealing an unfathomable amount of power.

However, Sett did not retreat, instantly throwing out two punches with his left and right hands.

With ten times the force plus Pummel, totaling twenty times the force, combined with the synergy of his fourth-layer Domain of Metal, Sett's two punches appeared truly terrifying.

His left fist struck the cyclone—Bang!

The hurricane seemed to shrink significantly, yet it still contained immense power.

Then, his right fist struck again, dissipating the entire storm.

Although the storm had dispersed, the core that acted like an eye, combined with the longsword, did not stop, continuing to thrust toward Sett.

Without Pummel, Sett could only wait for the sword to strike.

"Block!" Sett formed his hands into palms, preparing to catch the blade.

But the power of that sword was not something easily caught; after grabbing the blade, Sett was forced to retreat wildly.

"Stop!" Sett exerted all his strength while retreating to avoid being knocked out of the arena.

However, the sword was far too fast; despite Sett's immense strength, it still pierced into his chest.

I'm actually injured. This was the first time Sett had been wounded in 500 duels.

Yet, the injured Sett's strength did not diminish; instead, he felt his fists brimming with power, the result of Pit Grit taking effect.

"Again!" Sett's fighting spirit soared as he charged at the Wind Swordsman.

"This The Boss is too absurd. This move is something I just recently comprehended; even my master said it's top-tier even at the Planetary level. He actually caught it, and it doesn't seem to have affected him at all," the Wind Swordsman thought in shock, but seeing Sett charging, he countered with a backhand strike.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sett threw several punches in rapid succession, the power so immense that it knocked the longsword away, forcing the Wind Swordsman to defend with his bare fists.

"How did he get even stronger!" The Wind Swordsman could not fathom how Sett was growing more courageous with every exchange; after being injured, his strength had not weakened but instead increased.

Who could possibly withstand this! the Wind Swordsman thought as he was punched out of the arena.

The Boss's 501st battle, victory!

"Phew, finally won. This Wind Swordsman is truly formidable. It seems I cannot be careless; I must make good use of these remaining twenty-some days to improve my strength."

If I were to capsize in the gutter at the Great Axe Arena, that would be a huge loss. After all, duels at the Great Axe Arena take place in reality; losing means death, Sett thought to himself.

"A seven-star rating. I'll strive to reach a nine-star rating during this time. Again!" Seeing his seven-star rating, Sett immediately sent a duel request to an online nine-star powerhouse.

To prevent nine-star powerhouses from being challenged at will, the Killing Field only allowed those with a seven-star rating or higher to challenge them.
