His domain had reached the seventh level, just two levels short of its limit. For someone as powerful as him, that was already extraordinarily impressive.
Though he had already earned a ten-star rating, Sett still occasionally visited the Killing Field's Duel Space to fight.
With over two thousand consecutive victories, Sett had become the strongest of his level. Of course, that was only in the Dark Star Starfield. There was no need for Planetary Levels to interact with one another across other regions.
"As expected of a Giant Axe Warrior. Even a casual punch is stronger than my Strongest Secret Technique," said the opponent Sett had just killed, awestruck.
Sett had ended the fight with nothing more than a casual punch, even though his opponent was a nine-star expert.
To other people, that was naturally incredibly impressive. But to Sett, it was nothing special.
He was far stronger now than when he had earned the honor of becoming a Giant Axe Warrior. The main reason was his comprehension of the laws.
"Teacher, the Giant Axe Arena is coming to pick me up today. The Golden Giant Axe Warrior duel is about to begin. I'll be back in a while," Sett told King Zhenlian.
"Mm, go ahead. Believe in yourself. Becoming a Golden Giant Axe Warrior is only the beginning of your path to growth," King Zhenlian said.
"With your strength, you'll probably earn the title of Golden Giant Axe Warrior. But you still need to be careful."
"Mm, thank you, Teacher," Sett replied.
After bidding King Zhenlian farewell, Sett waited quietly for the Giant Axe Arena's people to arrive.
For this Golden Giant Axe Warrior competition, the Giant Axe Arena had gathered a thousand Planetary Level Giant Axe Warriors from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. They would travel together to a desolate planet and fight. Whoever remained at the end would become a Golden Giant Axe Warrior.
The rules were simple, but brutal: of the thousand Giant Axe Warriors, only one could survive. The vast majority would be eliminated, and elimination meant death.
But anyone who became a Giant Axe Warrior had to have some real skill. Those who dared to enter were naturally confident in themselves.
Sett thought of the email from the Giant Axe Arena.
"The Giant Axe Arena sure doesn't beat around the bush. They're taking us straight to a planet to fight one another." Sett was a little surprised, too.
Only one person could survive, which meant everyone was an opponent. There would be no teammates.
Rumbling, a spacecraft landed, and two people stepped out.
They stood three meters tall, and the ground trembled faintly with every step. Two horns jutted from their heads, and they wore the insignia of Giant Axe Arena staff.
"Hello, Sett. The Giant Axe Arena sent us to pick you up," one of them said.
"Mm, let's go. I've been ready for a while. I haven't fought in more than half a year, and it feels like my bones have gotten rusty," Sett said with a smile.
"Then come with us." The two led Sett toward the spacecraft.
The spacecraft had arrived quickly, and it left just as fast. Only a few minutes later, it took off again.
"This planet is beautiful. If I ever get the time, I'll have to visit as a tourist." The three-meter-tall giant gazed at the simulation on the spacecraft's display, looking back at the beautiful Zhenyun Planet.
"Mm, I live on this planet with my teacher. I heard it belongs to some important person," Sett said casually.
"That's no surprise, then. An ordinary person probably couldn't control a planet this large," the other man said.
"Probably," Sett replied.
"It'll take half a month to get there. Mr. Sett, why don't you rest? I'll show you to your room." Seeing that Sett wasn't in the mood to talk, one of them led him to the resting quarters.
The spacecraft was only two or three hundred meters long, but the resting quarters took up a huge amount of space. Sett's room alone was a full fifty meters long.
"He's only a Planetary Level Giant Axe Warrior. What's he so smug about?" one of them grumbled after returning to the cockpit.
He was at the Star Level, so naturally he looked down on Sett, who was only at the Planetary Level.
Still, they were staff of one of the five major powers. Even though they were only assigned to receive guests, both of them were ninth-level Star Level experts.
Even so, not just anyone could get in. Only those with connections had a chance.
Working for one of the five major powers was a prestigious job, even if you weren't doing it for the money.
When people tried to set you up with someone and heard you worked for one of the five major powers, the other family's parents would agree on the spot. You'd be in high demand.
"Come on, don't you have to be a little smug to enter the Golden Giant Axe Warrior duel? Only one out of a thousand will survive. It's brutal. This guy probably won't last long, so what's wrong with humoring him?" the other man consoled him.
"Fair enough. These people could just enjoy being Giant Axe Warriors, but they insist on becoming Golden Giant Axe Warriors. Look at me—I know how to enjoy life. I've got a whole bunch of wives, hehe."
In the universe, strength was everything. If you could have a whole bunch of wives, it meant you had the strength to do so.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. After the spacecraft left the Dark Universe, a planet called Ao Planet came into view ahead.
It had once been the private property of an Immortal Level powerhouse. After the powerhouse died, the planet changed hands several times before ending up with the Giant Axe Arena.
Ao Planet was twenty thousand kilometers in diameter. It had originally been an ordinary life planet, but after its previous owner bought it, it became a planet for raising exotic beasts.
Although the Giant Axe Arena had captured the powerful beasts, a large number of Planetary Level and Star Level beasts remained.
"Mr. Sett, we've arrived," the three-meter-tall giant reminded him.
"Mm," Sett replied as he disembarked.
Several hundred spacecraft were already parked at the docking station. They had all come from the Giant Axe Arena.
It looked like quite a few people had arrived already, one after another. They were just waiting for everyone to gather.
"Head over there and rest for now. Everyone will be here in two days, and then the competition will officially begin." After Sett left the spacecraft, a member of the Giant Axe Arena staff led him to the lodgings.
There were over a thousand villas, all built just so these Giant Axe Warriors could rest for a few days. This kind of small expense meant nothing to the Giant Axe Arena.
"Pretty big," Sett thought as he entered his room.
There was a vast range of body sizes among the Human Race.
Some races were no bigger than infants, while others stood dozens of meters tall. Most, however, were between one and ten meters.
None of the Giant Axe Warriors competing this time were especially huge. Still, the thousand villas had been built to accommodate the tallest few.
A single bed was over ten meters long—enormous.
"I feel like I'd get jet lag just walking from one end of the bed to the other," Sett thought with a laugh.
At the center of the residential area was a huge plaza. Only a few people were scattered around, and they were all alone. Nobody had come with a companion.
That made sense. They were all opponents, and they hadn't known one another before, so naturally no one was chatting together.
They had come from all over the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. To someone at the Planetary Level, even a single starfield was already vast, let alone a massive universe kingdom like the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.
Naturally, they had never met before.
"Haha, we're finally getting to see the Golden Giant Axe Warrior competition. They're only at the Planetary Level, but it should still be a great show."
"Of course! We have our boss to thank for bringing us to watch a competition like this."
Many spacecraft had gathered outside Ao Planet, carrying people who had come to watch the competition.
Since the competition grounds were enormous, the viewing area was naturally even larger: the entire space around Ao Planet.
With comprehensive, unobstructed surveillance, everything that happened on the planet could be seen clearly.
Those who had bought the right to watch from space could keep their spacecraft hovering outside Ao Planet and watch whatever area they wanted. Whenever a fight broke out, they could see it through the viewing system. It was very convenient.
Of course, the Giant Axe Arena wasn't broadcasting the competition. If you wanted to watch, you had to fly to the planet and see it for yourself.
There was also a limit of just one hundred thousand spots.
Naturally, spectators could bring family and friends aboard their spacecraft.
With the competition about to begin, a hundred thousand spacecraft hovered in the space around Ao Planet. They were spread out, so it wasn't crowded.
"The Giant Axe Arena is such a rip-off. Couldn't they just broadcast it remotely? I had to spend a fortune to watch the competition."
"Exactly. With today's technology, broadcasting a competition like this would be effortless. The Giant Axe Arena is obsessed with money, and they've jacked up ticket prices for no reason."
"Whatever. We're already here, so we might as well enjoy the competition. It officially starts tomorrow. We can spend the next month watching the matches. The tickets were expensive, but it's not that much for you and me."
Two people aboard a spacecraft were talking.
