The Challenge Stirs Up a Storm
Tianhua Prefecture.
Rog's Death Divine Clone, stationed in the capital city, also received this message from Gunther shortly afterward.
"This Gunther, he challenged me to a duel, but he specifically set it for three hundred years later. Is he afraid there won't be enough spectators?" Gray-haired Rog chuckled and shook his head. In three hundred years, the Lightning Divine Clone would have long since returned. Even if Gunther was truly at the Paragon stage, at most he would be banished to the Spatial Turbulence. Since he wouldn't die, he naturally wouldn't be afraid to fight!
So, almost on the same day he received the message, he immediately replied to accept the challenge and set the battle location as the Sarnoki Mountain Range outside Tianhua City!
As Rog accepted the challenge, his popularity in the Infernal Realm skyrocketed, especially on the Zijing Continent, where his popularity remained extremely high, even briefly overshadowing Aiken, the number one player on the Zijing Continent.
The reason is simple: Aiken has been lying low for too long and has indeed been forgotten by some. Rog, on the other hand, is a newly emerging Legendary figure. He is like a rising sun, radiating his intense brilliance!
Many powerful figures greatly admired Rog's courage in accepting the challenge. After all, a person's reputation precedes them. Since Gunther was considered by many powerful figures in the Divine Lightning Plane to be a potential Paragon High-God, there must be a reason for it.
Faced with such a formidable opponent, an ordinary Commander Prefect would absolutely not dare to accept this challenge lightly. After all, whether in the Infernal Realm or the Divine Plane, the result of such public challenges is often—
To lose means to die!
In very rare cases, you can hope that your opponent will show mercy and let you off the hook. This kind of battle is different from a private sparring match. There is basically no possibility of holding back or showing mercy. It will most likely end in the complete defeat of one side!
*******
Xiyun Prefecture, the ancestral home of the Aiken Clan.
"This kid is really fearless, daring to mess with even Gunther." Aiken shook his head upon hearing the news; Gunther had even risen to fame before him.
He is indeed not at the Paragon, but apart from those at the Paragon, there is basically no one who can fight him. This person's talent and ability are truly terrifying.
"For the sake of this gun, I might have to stretch my muscles and save this kid's life." He quite admired this sensible and rather clever little fellow.
Moreover, this kid has a conscience; he even remembered to give him a treasure comparable to Sovereign Artifact. Putting aside other relationships, this Void -Voidbreaker Divine Spear alone is enough to make him take action.
"Rog, are you really going to fight this Gunther? From what the clan chief said, Gunther's strength is probably quite astonishing." After delivering the gift, Haidisi quickly returned to Tianhua Prefecture after inquiring about some information from the clan chief.
In reality, according to Chief Aiken's intentions, if Gunther got serious, Rog probably had zero chance of winning. After all, less than ten thousand years had passed since Rog last met him. In such a short time, his strength couldn't have improved much, let alone reached the Paragon realm.
Without reaching the Paragon realm, the gap between them and Gunther is indeed too vast.
"Don't worry, even if I can't win, nothing will happen to me." Regardless of whether his opponent is Paragon High-God, he is not in danger of dying, so what is there to fear?
"Then you must be careful." Haidisi understood that now that the words had been spoken, there was basically no turning back, and she could only choose to trust Rog.
"This Gunther actually has some skill." Since accepting the challenge, Rog had naturally gathered a lot of information about Gunther. He had thought that this guy was at most on par with Mosi and Leisjing. But after a closer look, he couldn't help but frown.
Things didn't seem to be as simple as he had thought.
Most of this information dates back at least trillions of years, recording the Legendary journey of Gunther, who rose from an ordinary Midgod to Seven-Star Thunder Envoy, eventually becoming the Prefect and retiring into seclusion.
One thing worth noting in these experiences is that this guy is definitely not an ordinary race. Although he has never used the Innate Divine Ability of Divine Beast, his peculiar innate abilities are even more terrifying than those of Super Divine Beast Innate Divine Ability!
"In the battle of Dangtian Island, he fought seven powerful figures at the level of a Prefect alone, killing five of them and forcing the other two to retreat?" This Gunther's most famous battle was probably the battle of Dangtian Island.
In this battle, he fought against seven powerful Asura alone, yet he still managed to gain an absolute advantage. Not only was he unharmed, but he also managed to kill five of the Asura in succession. The only two who survived were because they possessed Material Defense Sovereign Artifact!
"This Gunther's physical attack is probably no less than Hemus ', and what's even more terrifying is that his speed absolutely crushes the other Commander. If he wants to kill someone, no one can escape at all!" Upon seeing this information, Rog had to admit that his initial boast in the Divine Lightning Plane was a bit rash.
"Luckily, I'm wearing the Golden Spirit Battle Armor now. At most, I'll just look a bit disheveled, but I won't actually die." Thankfully, Bodun wasn't wrong about him, otherwise Rog would really be in an awkward position right now.
"This Gunther is indeed a formidable enemy, but judging from his failure to exile those two in the end, he is probably not yet at the Paragon," Rog finally concluded.
It's quite simple. In Rog's eyes, Gunther's talent is probably even more heaven-defying than Hemus'. If he really reaches the Paragon, no other Paragon could possibly be his match. But in reality, before Linley's rise, there was no precedent for Divine Beast or a special race to achieve the Paragon High-God.
"Even so, this battle will be quite tough." Although there was pressure, Rog wasn't intimidated. Instead, he calmed himself down and focused on achieving breakthroughs in other areas within the next three hundred years.
After all, he was Three-Element Soul Mutator. In addition to the Laws of Lightning, he also cultivated the Death Rule and the Radiance Rule. In terms of the sheer number of methods he possessed, he might even surpass Gunther.
"Gunther from the Divine Lightning Plane is coming to the Infernal Realm?" As the news spread, almost all the high-ranking figures in the Infernal Realm knew about it, and basically most of the Asura Commander were preparing to come and watch the great battle.
After all, this Gunther is a renowned figure, whose strength and status are comparable to Denington in the Infernal Realm. He is one of the few beings in the eleven planes who is widely recognized as a potential Paragon High-God!
Besides these Asura powerhouses, other Seven-Star Fiend and other powerful individuals capable of traveling to the Tianhua Prefecture on the Zijing Continent all heard the news and prepared to set off!
One after another, renowned figures, Purple Blood Fiend, the Silver Moon Fiend, and the Frost Sword Fiend, were all heading towards Tianhua Prefecture.
In an instant, Tianhua Prefecture found itself at the very center of the Infernal Realm vortex, and bandits and petty thieves retreated to their lairs as if in hibernation. There was no way around it; there were simply too many powerful figures active in the Infernal Realm right now.
Every day, countless Six-Star Fiend and Seven-Star Fiend pass by, along with numerous super-powerful beings from other Divine Plane.
Besides the powerful natives of the Infernal Realm and the Thunder Emissary from the Divine Lightning Plane, there are also Light Chaser from the Radiant Divine Realm, Shadow Thorn from the Darkness Divine Realm, Wind Hunter from the Divine Wind Plane, and Fate Apostle from the Celestial Realm...
In the span of three hundred years, Infernal Realm has become the focal point of the eleven great Divine Plane. It is estimated that even the Paragon High-God and some extremely boring Sovereign would become interested in watching the battle.
After all, the uproar caused by this battle can truly be described as a major event in the Infernal Realm.
Just as the entire Infernal Realm was in turmoil, with powerful figures from all directions gathering together, Rog Lightning Divine Clone, along with Bodun and the other three, had just returned to the Infernal Realm and embarked on their journey back to Tianhua Prefecture.
