" Hiss—"

With just one exchange, everyone watching knew that the stakes of this battle had risen even higher.

Once the ten soldiers of Liang'an Prefecture formed a Magic Battle Array, their attacks had reached the level of a Seven-Star Fiend.

That hundred-meter-long spatial rift was enough to kill most of the spectators instantly.

But before Aier, an attack like that was nothing more than a fly he could swat away with ease.

Even a spatial rift powerful enough to sever a High-God Artifact was powerless against Aier.

"Sun-Breaking!"

With their spirits soaring, the ten Prefecture Army soldiers regrouped and changed formation, forming a Magic Battle Array shaped like a bow. In an instant, they shot a divine power arrow toward Aier.

"Boom—"

Unlike their previous, imposing attack, this arrow focused all its power on its tip, piercing a thumb-sized hole in space at the very front.

Compared with the hundred-meter-long spatial rift from before, this thumb-sized hole in space was inconspicuous.

But everyone present knew that a hole in space was on a completely different level from a spatial rift.

A spatial rift tore through Hell's surface space. What appeared before everyone was a black rift that devoured everything.

A hole in space, on the other hand, was a strange phenomenon that could only exist when the planar barrier itself had been broken through.

Beyond the hole in space lay the multicolored Spatial Turbulence.

The power of the two differed by nearly tenfold.

"Hmph!"

Aier snorted, raised his right hand, and abruptly flipped it over—

"Seal of Heaven-Turning!"

"Rumble!"

At once, with Aier's movement, the Laws of the Earth formed the phantom image of a hundred-meter-tall seal, which crashed down on the ten Prefecture Army soldiers.

"Boom!"

There was no suspense. The Liang'an Prefecture soldiers' attack collided with Aier's Seal of Heaven-Turning without raising the slightest ripple. It shattered at once, like an egg striking a rock.

Seeing the might of Aier's move, the ten soldiers' faces changed. They tried to escape its range.

But the moment they tried, their expressions changed again.

Within the area covered by the Seal of Heaven-Turning, powerful gravity filled the surroundings, leaving them unable to move an inch.

Under that crushing gravity, there was no way they could escape the seal's range before Aier's attack landed.

The only thing they could do was face Aier's attack head-on.

But their strongest attack hadn't even managed to raise a ripple on the Seal of Heaven-Turning. How could they possibly stop it?

"Boom—"

As they looked at the crater that had appeared in the arena, the spectators fell silent.

Were the Prefecture Army weak?

These ten were definitely elite soldiers of the Prefecture Army. Each one had the strength of a Six-Star Fiend.

Once they formed a Magic Battle Array, they could unleash power on the level of a Seven-Star Fiend.

Of course, compared with a genuine Seven-Star Fiend, the Magic Battle Array was far less mobile.

But in the arena, that disadvantage could be ignored.

Yet before Lord Aier, they were no different from the people who had fought him before.

No, there was one difference.

In his previous battles, Lord Aier hadn't used any particularly powerful attacks. Apart from the first battle on the second day, he hadn't killed his opponents, either.

But today, Lord Aier had used a lethal move that could kill a Seven-Star Fiend in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the ten elite soldiers of the Prefecture Army, arrayed in their Magic Battle Array, were brutally slain before everyone's eyes!

Aier waved his hand, and ten High-God Sparks went into his Space Ring.

There were also more than ten Space Rings among his spoils.

Before the battle, under pressure from the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture, they hadn't dared hand their Space Rings over to Aier.

But once the battle was over, every Space Ring they carried ended up in Aier's hands.

Perhaps some of the ten elite soldiers still had Divine Clones, meaning Aier couldn't claim ownership of their Space Rings.

But don't forget, Aier's Equipment Slot could equip Space Rings directly, letting him take out the items inside. He could even refine the Space Rings themselves to gain spatial abilities.

Still, Aier didn't inspect the contents of the Space Rings there and then.

With today's victory, Aier had reached eighty consecutive wins.

He was only twenty wins away from his goal of a hundred consecutive victories.

After putting away the Godheads, Aier pointed his right index finger at the sky. "Daniel Chris, I know you're watching!"

"If you've got the guts, accept my challenge yourself."

"Sending your subordinates to their deaths—what kind of hero does that make you?"

"For the next two days, I won't change my approach. I'll still fight ten at a time."

"No matter what kind of experts you send, I'll take them on."

"But if the experts who fight me break my rules because of you, then when you fight me, you won't get the chance to follow my rules!"

"Ah! Ahhhhhh..."

"Lord Aier is so domineering!"

"Lord Aier, you have to win!"

Aier's speech had to be said: it sent the spectators into a frenzy of cheers.

After seeing what had happened to the ten Prefecture Army soldiers today, many spectators felt bitter toward the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture.

But they were too weak to speak up on behalf of the ten elite soldiers.

Now Aier had boldly called out the Prefect of Liang'an Prefecture, Daniel Chris, and put him on the spot.

If Aier's opponents didn't hand over their Space Rings in tomorrow's and the following day's battles, then when Aier and Daniel Chris fought over the prefect's seat, Aier would refuse Daniel Chris's Space Ring.

That meant he wouldn't accept Daniel Chris's payment to spare his life. He would kill him outright!

It was a threat!

But Daniel Chris couldn't afford to ignore it.

After all, these past few days of fighting had shown him that Aier could threaten his life.

Aier was his equal, or perhaps even stronger.

Daniel Chris was also baffled. Where had this outsider, this powerful newcomer, come from?

Among the Seven Divine Planes and the four Supreme Planes, the rise of every super-powerhouse could be traced.

Anyone who existed and had fought others would leave a trail.

Although everyone's information was somewhat delayed, given enough time, even the growth of Overgods and Sovereigns could be traced.

For example, before the Sovereign Sparks appeared, Liliya of the Netherworld had been a drifter across the four Supreme Planes. She'd beaten up the powerful figures of several of them.

When the era of the Overgods began, Liliya was still one of the most powerful Sovereigns at the peak of the Overgod ranks. Vivian, the Sovereign of Life, called her big sister.
