The Thousandth Match

Outside a white dwarf in the Flame Dragon Star Sector of the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom.

A D6-Grade Spaceship appeared out of thin air, returning to the original universe from the dark universe.

The hatch opened, and Lin Yuan, clad in black Force Battle Armor and gripping a giant axe, stood ready.

"Go on, Lin Yuan. I hope we can meet again after this battle."

The Domain Lord staff member, specifically tasked with transporting slave duelists in this D6-Grade Spaceship, said to Lin Yuan.

"I hope so too." Lin Yuan felt slightly surprised.

Lin Yuan could already feel the terrifying gravity outside the white dwarf.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look; his opponent's ship had also arrived. The hatch slowly opened, and a beautiful woman of the Lonko Race stepped out.

Lin Yuan was stunned. The Lonko Race was a lineage that ranked within the top thirty among countless human bloodlines.

Hu Yanbo had once possessed the body of a young Lonko, otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to achieve such accomplishments.

How could such a powerful race appear in a Great Axe Life-Death Battle?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me. We are mortal enemies; only one of us can survive after today.

The two flew into the white dwarf together and landed on its surface. The surface gravity was staggering, and neither side spoke a word.

Virtual Universe Company, Great Axe Arena Life-Death Battle Plane.

Above a massive river lay three main islands, which were significantly larger than the others and could accommodate far more spectators.

Island No. 00001 was dedicated to hosting the 1000th match of the World Lord Level Great Axe Life-Death Battle, Island No. 00002 for the Domain Lord Level, and Island No. 00003 for the Universe Level.

As long as one of the two combatants was participating in their 1000th battle, the match would be held on the main islands for viewing.

Lin Yuan's battle was naturally held on Island No. 3.

For ordinary Universe Level Great Axe Life-Death Battles, three-star users of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank or the Cosmic First Bank could watch for free, as three-star users automatically became Bronze VIPs of the Great Axe Arena.

However, the Universe Level Great Axe Life-Death Battle held on the No. 3 main island would produce a new "Giant Axe Warrior".

To watch a final of this level for free, one had to be a four-star user with Silver VIP status. If watching via pay-per-view, the price was also extremely expensive.

Even so, there were still many spectators willing to pay. Today, Island No. 3 was packed, with hundreds of millions of viewers waiting to watch this spectacular duel.

Many big shots had come to the spectator stands today. In the second and third-floor boxes, there were even a few Immortal powerhouses. The most prominent among them was Marquis Yuankun, one of the four hundred nobles of the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom, a peak Marquis who had achieved immortality through his insights into the Law of Earth Origin.

Burter, the World Lord and small supervisor of the Great Axe Arena branch, was also in the stands.

The opponent I chose for this little guy shouldn't be too hard on him. An Illusionist with Universe Level peak mental willpower. Even if one has strength and talent, they won't go far without strong mental willpower.

Burter thought to himself.

"Dear spectators, the upcoming Universe Level Great Axe Life-Death Battle might produce a new 'Giant Axe Warrior'."

"First, let me introduce the two powerhouses participating in today's life-death battle."

"Lin Yuan! 999 wins! One step away from the 'Giant Axe Warrior' title. Lin Yuan is a former slave; if he wins today, he will earn his precious freedom!"

"Lin Yuan is a Universe Level 9 warrior, possessing the Domain of Earth at the ninth level, the Domain of Metal at the seventh level, and has stepped into the threshold of the Law of Earth Origin! His weapon of choice is the giant axe. His speed of improvement is astonishing!"

"His opponent, the Lonko girl Moriya, 929 wins! A Universe Level 9 Spirit Reader and Illusionist. She possesses the Domain of Light at the ninth level and has grasped a trace of the Law of Light Origin. Her weapon is the Tier 4 Telepathic Weapon, the 'Silver Light Wheel'."

"In Moriya's past life-death battles, her opponents were struck by illusions the moment they looked at her, losing their ability to fight and being easily slaughtered. I wonder if Lin Yuan can withstand it today."

"Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan!"

"Moriya! Moriya!"

A tsunami of cheers erupted from the stands.

The host's voice grew even louder:

"The location for this life-death battle is on a white dwarf within the Flame Dragon Star Sector of the Nine Flames Universe Kingdom!"

"Now, both powerhouses are ready, and the life-death battle is about to begin!"

On the white dwarf.

"Both sides are ready. The life-death battle begins!"

The supervisor shouted loudly.

Lin Yuan instantly unleashed his full domain, and earthy-yellow law ripples permeated the air, though the coverage of the domain was reduced under the intense gravity.

Lin Yuan avoided looking into Moriya's eyes and was just about to take the initiative to attack when he suddenly froze in place. Lin Yuan had been hit.

A cold sneer played on Moriya's lips as she swiftly manipulated the Silver Light Wheel, which flew toward Lin Yuan's head.

Lin Yuan had fallen into an illusion attack.

Within the illusion, Lin Yuan had returned to the moment he first transmigrated into this world. The Planet Level Lin Yuan was being sold directly to a perverted buyer, and he was about to be tortured to death.

The next moment, Lin Yuan returned to his Star Level period. He had failed the slave merchant's test, been eliminated, and become a Star Level hired thug, eventually failing to break through to the Universe Level before his lifespan reached its end.

The next moment after that, Lin Yuan returned to the battle with Kailan. Lin Yuan lay on the ground, heavily injured, having grasped a trace of the Law of Earth Origin and awakened his golden finger, though the item he drew was a bottle of "Godly Drunkenness"...

"No, this isn't right."

"This is an illusion; it's not real."

"Wake up, quickly!"

At this moment, the first layer of Lin Yuan's Ten Thousand Hearts Undying secret technique began to operate frantically. Amidst this life-or-death combat crisis, Lin Yuan finally fully grasped the profound mysteries of this first layer. A complete halo of light emerged around his soul, and the illusion was instantly ejected from Lin Yuan's soul.

Lin Yuan woke up!

The silver flying wheel lunged toward his face, already right before his eyes.

Lin Yuan could not afford to care about anything else. He unleashed his domain, the power of the Law of Earth Origin, and even the trace of the Law of Gold Origin he had comprehended, raising his Giant Axe with the fastest speed he had mustered since his transmigration to block the impact of the silver flying wheel.

Lin Yuan was completely unharmed! The situation had reversed!

Moriya's face was filled with astonishment, and then her expression turned ugly.

[Your mental willpower intensity has broken through to the Domain Lord Level. You have received one guaranteed draw opportunity (0-10). Would you like to draw?]

Lin Yuan was startled, only then realizing that the mental intensity of the illusion attack from this Lonko Race girl had actually reached the Domain Lord Level. Otherwise, why would he have needed the full domain of the first layer of Ten Thousand Hearts Undying to resist this illusion attack?

"Draw."

Lin Yuan's crisis had been resolved, but he still dared not relax; he might as well draw while he could.

...The small ball stopped on the number 2.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the No. 2 rare reward: one bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine.]

Lin Yuan discovered he could not use it directly, so he naturally stored it in the System Space.

Under his full-power outburst, the influence of the White Dwarf's gravity on Lin Yuan became even smaller.

Lin Yuan felt a lingering fear. If they were not on a White Dwarf, the speed at which Moriya manipulated this silver flying wheel might have been even faster, and he would likely have been in grave danger.

Lin Yuan did not dwell on it, charging toward the Lonko Race girl with all his might.

The Lonko Race girl's protective armor was easily shattered by the Giant Axe.

The girl seemed to have resigned herself to her fate.

She closed her eyes...
