Chapter 612: Chapter 608: 10-Crown King

"Heheheh, you’ve fallen into my trap!"

Morris’s low, hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him.

It carried a foul stench that sent a chill up Hong Yu’s spine. The pores all over his body seemed to explode open.

A silver glint of cold light shot out from Morris’s hand, stabbing toward Hong Yu’s back with the speed of lightning.

Hong Yu had already sensed the danger from behind.

It was obviously too late to dodge. Gritting his teeth, he instantly covered his body in a frenzy of surging, cyan Dragon Scales.

At the same time...

"BANG!"

An overwhelming force struck him from behind.

The force was incredibly heavy, yet possessed a sharpness that could pierce through anything. It slammed viciously into Hong Yu’s back, making his organs tremble violently and his blood churn. The impact sent him stumbling forward several meters.

Hong Yu stomped his foot down hard, creating a huge crater in the ground. Half his leg was buried in the hard floor of the arena.

He spun around with the momentum, balancing on one leg as the Godslaying Spear materialized in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the golden dragon scales on the Godslaying Spear instantly flared open, looking utterly ferocious. With a "BOOM," he thrust it behind him.

It was an overwhelmingly powerful thrust.

Carrying an indomitable golden radiance, it struck before Morris could even react. With a "BOOM," it stabbed viciously into his chest.

"WAH!"

This time, Morris had no chance to transform into his poisonous mist form. The solid strike nearly pierced through his chest, pinning him brutally to the ground.

"Great Destruction Fist!"

Hong Yu forcefully pulled his leg free and threw a punch.

Nine rays of energy overlapped, coalescing into a Nine-Colored Fist Gang. With a "BOOM," it smashed violently into Morris.

"BANG!"

The ground cracked and split.

The entire Battlefield trembled and hummed with a "BUZZ." A massive crater, a good five to six meters deep, was left in the center of the arena.

A five-to-six-meter crater should not be underestimated.

The arena floor of this Battlefield was forged from special materials. Even an ordinary Primordial Spirit Realm expert would struggle to leave a mark on it with a blade, yet Hong Yu had created such terrifying destruction with a single punch. One could only imagine how horrifying his power was.

"PFFT! PFFT PFFT!"

Morris lay in the huge crater, blood continuously spilling from his mouth.

His body had been beaten to a pulp by Hong Yu. He lay motionless in the crater, unable to move.

"Die!"

Hong Yu pulled the Godslaying Spear free and, holding it in one hand, prepared to stab down at Morris’s head.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened again.

Rolling black Demonic Qi suddenly began to swirl around Morris’s entire body. The Demonic Qi shot to the sky, instantly obscuring the whole crater and hiding him from sight.

"Heheheh, don’t you know that I have an Undying Body? Hahaha! As long as a single trace of poison remains in my blood, my Ten Thousand Poison Sacred Body is immortal, even if you incinerate my heart and head!"

Morris’s grim laughter echoed from within the black mist.

「In mid-air.」

The Host, who had been nervously watching the fight, suddenly paled. His body nearly plummeted from the sky as his face turned white with a "SWOOSH." He turned and roared at the Audience Seats, "Everyone, run! Morris is about to use that move again!"

"Oh my god, that madman!"

"Let’s go! The last time he used that move, he killed more than fifty thousand people! We have to get out of here..."

"A madman, a total madman..."

"Who the hell allowed this lunatic to compete? Shit, we’re so screwed now!"

The audience, who had been excitedly watching the battle just moments before, instantly fell into a panic and began to flee.

The entire Battlefield descended into chaos.

It was utter pandemonium.

Some powerful experts worked together, soaring into the air to blast the arena roof to pieces. A crowd of people then flew out to escape. In an instant, ninety-nine percent of the audience in the Battlefield was gone. Only a few fearless experts remained in the private boxes.

The private boxes of the War God Arena were specially treated and protected by multiple Prohibitions.

Their safety was absolutely guaranteed!

"Brother Ling, what do we do? Is Brother Beichen going to die?" Zhao Feng’Er’s eyes were filled with worry.

Even the hundred thousand spectators and the Host had fled for fear of being caught in the crossfire. But Hong Yu was trapped inside the Prohibition with Morris, with no way to leave.

Xishang Ling’s face was grim. "I don’t want him to die either! It’s over, it’s really over this time. Dammit! Who the hell would have thought the War God Arena would let this psycho compete!"

On the top floor, the man in the Darkness remained.

The blood in his hand had been drunk. He looked down upon the Battlefield with some regret and shook his head. ’What a pity. I was hoping to find a chance to taste that Beichen’s heart’s blood. Looks like there’s no chance now. Sigh, that damned Morris ruins things every time!’

"Young Master, how should we dispose of Morris later?" someone asked from the Darkness.

The Young Master pondered for a moment before saying coolly, "Eradicate him completely. We’ve already used him once. It wouldn’t be good to let him appear again, or the reputation of our War God Arena could be ruined."

"I understand!"

The person in the Darkness acknowledged the order and disappeared once more.

The Young Master rubbed his chin and muttered, ’The savior of the Xishang Tribe? Heh. I was wondering how to deal with you, and you just waltzed in here to die. I searched far and wide for a solution, only to have it fall right into my lap.’

...

「On the Battlefield.」

The black aura grew thicker and thicker, gradually condensing from a gas into a solid.

A solid black Energy Ball was formed, filled entirely with terrifying toxins. If even a single wisp of these toxins were to escape, it could poison and kill hundreds of people.

"Your name is Beichen, isn’t it? Heheheh, I’ll remember you. In all these years, you’re only the second person to force me to use this move!"

Morris cackled, his voice incredibly grating. "Before you die, I might as well tell you about it. Otherwise, you’ll die without even knowing how, and you won’t be able to rest in peace. This move of mine is called ’World-Consuming Poison’! Haha, alright, now you can die!"

"BZZZT!"

A black light suddenly shot toward the heavens.

Thick, roiling clouds of poison surged forward, forming Giant Beasts made of pure toxin—poison dragons, poison vipers, poison scorpions...

In short, they were all incredibly venomous.

They exploded in an instant, filling the entire Battlefield and pressing down on Hong Yu.

Hong Yu retreated again and again, but the Battlefield was only so large, and with the Prohibition sealing it, there was no way to escape.

’These toxins are too strong. If I don’t find a way to deal with them, I’ll definitely die.’ The more critical the moment, the calmer Hong Yu became.

His mind raced, searching for a solution.

He realized that although his Dragon Blood Inheritance allowed him to withstand ordinary poisons, he wasn’t confident he could handle the extreme venom unleashed by the full power of Morris’s Ten Thousand Poison Sacred Body.

"Hm?"

Just as the poison cloud was about to completely overwhelm him...

The Rashomon hidden within Hong Yu’s body suddenly emitted a faint ripple. Hong Yu’s eyes flickered. ’Rashomon?’

He sent a part of his spiritual consciousness into the Rashomon.

He discovered that the Rashomon was emitting faint rays of golden light. On its surface, a set of Runes was slowly writhing, piecing itself together into the shape of a strange Exotic Beast.

The moment he saw this Exotic Beast...

...understanding seemed to dawn on Hong Yu. Segments of Runes flashed through his mind—these were the same Runes he had recognized from the Rashomon while deducing the ’Death Rune Seal’.

’So that’s how it is!’

Hong Yu’s eyes snapped open, two brilliant beams of divine light, like Celestial Thunder, shooting from them.

Guided by the pattern of the Exotic Beast, his consciousness rapidly performed deductions, swiftly completing the combination for one-tenth of the Life Rune Seal’s Runes.

The moment this combination for the Life and Death Seal was complete, Hong Yu felt a surging torrent of energy flow from his right hand and through his entire body, suffusing him with a vast, majestic aura of life.

’So, the only way to completely master the Life and Death Rashomon Seal is to fully deduce all the Runes on the Rashomon and combine them into their true pattern!’ Hong Yu’s mind was clear. At this moment, he had finally found the path and method to conquer the Rashomon.

"BZZZT!"

A golden character for "Life" slowly materialized in the center of his palm.

A surging aura of life emanated from it.

Hong Yu burst out laughing. "The Life Rune Seal! I can already use some of the Life Rune Seal’s power!"

"BOOM!"

Hong Yu thrust out his palm.

"SWOOSH!"

Golden radiance enveloped his hand, and the Life Rune Seal instantly became immeasurably vast.

The hand it covered became enormous, growing to over a hundred meters tall. Each finger shone with a translucent golden light, as if forged from pure gold.

The lines on the palm swirled majestically, slowly coalescing into the character for "Life"!

"BOOM!"

This golden palm, unleashed with a portion of the Life Rune Seal’s might, pierced through the dense black poison mist.

The poison mist, which had been so menacing and turbulent just moments before, suddenly seemed incredibly fragile.

Under the strike of the golden Palm Seal, it dissipated into wisps of green smoke that rose into the air.

The terrifying pressure crashed directly into the center of the black mist.

"What the hell is that thing? No, how can something like this exist? It’s not afraid of my Ten Thousand Poison Sacred Body? No... don’t..."

Morris’s terrified screams came from within the black mist.

"RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!"

A wave of golden light swept out.

Like Deities descending to issue Divine Punishment, the unending roar of thunderclaps echoed through the air.

"I’m immortal! No, please, don’t..."

"BOOM!"

A terrifying explosion suddenly erupted, drowning out Morris’s screams.

「On the Battlefield.」

The black poison mist gradually thinned, then vanished completely.

When everything before their eyes had returned to calm, the crowd could no longer see any sign of Morris. He had been utterly obliterated.

The spectators who had fled but were still watching from the void were all stunned. Then, hundreds of thousands of gazes turned in unison to stare at the lone figure remaining on the Battlefield.

Hong Yu stood there proudly.

Seeing the faint smile on the young man’s face, the world fell silent once more.

Then, an infinite wave of excitement and passion erupted, like a pack of wild beasts that had been suppressed for far too long, finally letting loose in a single instant.

"Ten-Time Champion!"

"Beichen, the Ten-Time Champion!"

"The invincible Beichen! Long live the Ten-Time Champion! Long live! Long live!"

Hong Yu was exhausted from the immense energy consumed by activating the Life Rune Seal, but upon hearing the earth-shattering cheers, he couldn’t help but crack a small smile...

’Ten-Time Champion? That’s not a bad title!’
