Chapter 1818 - 511: Challenge the King! Victory or Death!

"Why does this Lu Changsheng suddenly have to challenge you?"

"Without Lu Changsheng, after three more battles, you could have challenged the Arena Master at the 'Invincible' level. Once you win, you will acquire the Heart of Invincibility, and thus advance to the Second Realm!"

Kuang Lei remained silent.

His cultivation was somewhat unique.

He needed to acquire the "Heart of Invincibility."

It seemed somewhat illusory, but in reality, it was not so.

He had some "seniors" who had challenged and defeated an 'Invincible' level strongman on the Cosmic Peak battlefield, and thus possessed the Heart of Invincibility, advancing to the Second Realm.

As for guarding the arena later?

To Kuang Lei, it's not important.

What he needed was a chance to challenge the Arena Master at the 'Invincible' level.

Precisely because of this, he approached each battle cautiously.

Steady and conventional, behaving very ordinarily, step by step becoming the King level Arena Master, successfully defending several times, now close to earning the opportunity to challenge the Arena Master at the 'Invincible' level.

And then suddenly, Lu Changsheng appeared, disrupting Kuang Lei's plans.

Kuang Lei cannot afford to fail.

Once he fails, achieving the Heart of Invincibility becomes nearly impossible.

He might never be able to advance to the Second Realm in his lifetime.

Cheng Tinghua was furious.

Lu Changsheng intended to sever Kuang Lei's path!

Yet Kuang Lei seemed very calm.

"Lu Changsheng...is indeed strong. Even Zi Qianying, who was defeated by Lu Changsheng, is strong; I'm not sure if I can handle Zi Qianying, let alone Lu Changsheng."

"Sometimes I wonder, what is the Heart of Invincibility?"

"Is it only when challenged successfully at the Cosmic Peak against the Arena Master of 'Invincible' level?"

Kuang Lei murmured softly.

Actually, this question had troubled him for a long time.

He faintly sensed something amiss.

Maybe possessing the Heart of Invincibility doesn't necessarily require being on the Cosmic Peak.

However, it was no longer important.

What mattered was that he had reached a critical juncture.

Lu Changsheng had challenged him.

He must defeat Lu Changsheng.

Otherwise, he would be utterly defeated.

Even his path would be severed.

This was an outcome Kuang Lei could not bear.

"Lu Changsheng's strongest point is his body's four-layer Inner World. To defeat him, I must completely break his four-layer Inner World; Zi Qianying's three-thousand melting Great Dao couldn't destroy Lu Changsheng's Inner World. But I'm different; I follow the path of physical body cultivation. My body is the strongest tool, even if I fall into his World, I can pierce through it relying purely on my physical strength..."

Kuang Lei's eyes flashed with fierceness.

Lu Changsheng exerted immense pressure on him.

After all, since knowing Lu Changsheng would challenge him, Kuang Lei had been under immense pressure.

He even suspected that challenging the Arena Master at the 'Invincible' level wouldn't be as stressful as battling Lu Changsheng.

Kuang Lei ultimately made up his mind.

No matter who it is, he would defeat them.

Even if it is Lu Changsheng!

At this moment, Kuang Lei faintly felt his mind becoming clearer.

He even had a feeling.

If he defeated Lu Changsheng, maybe he wouldn't need to challenge the Arena Master at the 'Invincible' level anymore.

But is defeating Lu Changsheng possible?

Kuang Lei became completely calm.

Ignoring the external distractions.

Lu Changsheng did the same.

He also ignored the external disturbances.

Instead, he quietly waited for the day of the challenge.

"Changsheng, according to your request, all bets have been placed; your odds are 1.5."

Lin Qingluan said.

Lu Changsheng nodded.

The odds were quite low.

But there was no choice, Lu Changsheng was now a hot favorite, openly surpassing Kuang Lei in strength, how could the odds be high?

Nevertheless, once Lu Changsheng wins, he, having recently received a million Source Crystals from Liu Lin, now had a total of three million two hundred and eighty thousand Source Crystals.

Once he bets them all, if he wins, he would have four million nine hundred and twenty thousand Source Crystals.

This was still a terrifying figure.

As requested, Lin Qingluan had placed all bets, and Lu Changsheng felt relieved.

"Has the Eternal Commerce made any moves?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

He hadn't forgotten that the Eternal Commerce was eyeing him closely.

The Eternal Commerce had been quiet, which made Lu Changsheng wary.

"The Eternal Commerce has not made any moves recently."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Perhaps the Eternal Commerce was finding ways to recruit 'Invincible' level strongmen.

The Eternal Commerce knew that it's hard for King level strongmen to pose any threat to Lu Changsheng.

"By the way, there seemed to be some news about Kuang Lei."

"Kuang Lei is said to walk the path of invincibility, requiring the Heart of Invincibility. To challenge the Arena Master at 'Invincible' level, and once victorious, to obtain the Heart of Invincibility, thus advancing to Second Realm powerhouse level."

"This challenge of yours against Kuang Lei almost severed his cultivation path, created enmity, thus Kuang Lei will surely go all out, sparing no effort, paying any price to defeat you."

Lin Qingluan said slowly.

"Heart of Invincibility?"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

That's good news.

He wasn't afraid Kuang Lei was strong, he was afraid Kuang Lei was too weak.

Even feared Kuang Lei would concede.

Now, Lu Changsheng understood that he had created enmity with Kuang Lei, so Kuang Lei was surely going to fight desperately.

Every cultivator who fights desperately, Lu Changsheng respects and values.

"I understand."

Lu Changsheng continued to wait.

Soon, the day for Lu Changsheng to challenge the "King" Arena Master arrived.

Quickly, a crowd of cultivators gathered below the arena.

Including some Second Realm powerhouses.

"This time Lu Changsheng is sure to win, right? Almost no suspense."

"Not necessarily, there's news that Lu Changsheng's challenge against Kuang Lei created enmity, so Kuang Lei is likely going to fight desperately."

"What's the use of fighting desperately? If you're not strong enough, no amount of desperation will help."

"That's true, but Kuang Lei is not a weakling, after all, his target is to challenge the 'Invincible' level Arena Master, and even to win, how could he be weak?"

"I think this fight may be even more exciting than the battle between Zi Qianying and Lu Changsheng."

"I'm betting my entire fortune on Kuang Lei this time; after all, the odds are too high."

"I'm betting as well..."

Many chose to bet on Kuang Lei this time.

The odds were too high; many wanted to take the gamble.

Lu Changsheng clearly held the advantage.

Soon, Lu Changsheng entered the arena, sparking cheers.

"Buzz."

Kuang Lei arrived as well.

Both entered the arena.

Soon, the environment changed drastically.

This time, the battlefield environment was an expanse of land.

The land stretched endlessly, beyond sight.

Kuang Lei's robust physique seemed rough, yet he was cautious in character.

He stared closely at Lu Changsheng, speaking each word deliberately, "Lu Changsheng, I walk the path of physical body cultivation; you follow the path of Realm Master cultivation. Even Zi Qianying's three-thousand melting Great Dao couldn't break your World, so I can only go all in."

"Today, unless I die, I must tear open your World!"

Kuang Lei spoke with unwavering resolve.

He had come with a death wish.

Either victory or death!

It seemed Kuang Lei never thought about "surrendering."
