With only three battles left, the remaining people would be able to conserve their strength. Although they didn’t know how long they would be able to rest, at the very least, they would be able to avoid the risk of dying here. As for those who went up, regardless of whether they won or lost, it was likely they wouldn’t have a good ending. It was highly likely they would lose their arms in this Great Dao struggle.
This was a matter that concerned one’s lifelong pursuit, so no one would take the initiative to take on such a task. After all, this was not a decisive battle, but a life and death struggle. If the Source Heavenly Fruit wanted to mature completely, one had to die here.
Sweeping his eyes over the crowd, Yang Kai opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Yang Yan interrupted him, “Since that’s the case, we’ll agree to their proposal first. As for the participants, let’s see how they choose.”
Everyone nodded.
Yang Yan glared fiercely at Yang Kai, warning him not to speak nonsense. Yang Kai helplessly sniffed.
Turning around, Yang Kai looked at Jia Long and said, “We’ve discussed it.”
“How about it?” Jia Long put his hands behind his back and smiled, his expression indifferent, as if he already knew that Star Boundary would not refuse his proposal.
“We can accept your proposal!”
Jia Long smiled lightly, “Good.”
“But these three matches…” Just as Yang Kai was about to carefully discuss the next candidate, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the ground, causing him to pause and look forward vigilantly, only to see Jia Long’s expression turn solemn as he stared towards him.
As their eyes met, both of them saw the confusion in each other’s eyes and knew that the other party must have done something.
In the next moment, a huge wave rose up from the ground, and the originally empty hall suddenly began to float upwards, rising more than three hundred meters before stopping.
Immediately after, two translucent light beams descended from the sky and enveloped the Star Boundary and Demon Territory’s forces.
Everything happened so suddenly that no one was able to react. By the time they saw the light barrier, it was already too late to escape. Roaring sounds rang out as Emperor Qi and Demonic Qi surged from both sides, but none of them succeeded.
Two semi-circular light beams descended, separating the Human Race’s Pseudo Emperor and Demon Race Half-Saint.
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as his figure swayed for a moment. In that instant, it seemed as if he had disappeared into thin air, but it quickly solidified again. This kind of sign was undoubtedly a sign that he couldn’t teleport anymore.
This semi-circular light curtain that had suddenly appeared had the effect of sealing the world.
Regardless of which camp it was, all of them were in a state of chaos. Divine Abilities were constantly being launched towards the light curtain, but the durability of the light curtain far exceeded everyone’s expectations. The ones who attacked were all Half-Saint and Pseudo Emperors, yet none of them could do anything to the light curtain that sealed the world.
Another loud rumbling sound rang out as the two light barriers rose up from the ground, rising several dozen meters higher than the central platform.
At this moment, both sides were standing on a high platform, surrounded by a curtain of light. At the center of the platform was another high platform, but this one was much larger.
When all the strange occurrences came to a halt, the twenty or so Half-Saints present all looked at each other, none of them knowing what was happening.
Yang Kai frowned as he looked towards the central platform, but before he could get a clear look, he heard a soft swishing sound next to him, followed by a figure appearing on the other side of the platform.
Yang Kai’s eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Sir Lin!”
The figure who had suddenly appeared on the central platform was Ding Shen Army Commander, Lin Rusong. He was a good old man, before entering the Profound Heaven Temple, Cang Mo had tried to make things difficult for Yang Kai. He had even taken the initiative to offer Yang Kai a spot to enter the Profound Heaven Temple to quell the storm, his magnanimity was admirable.
Yang Kai couldn’t have been more shocked, and the other Pseudo Emperors around him also let out a low cry. Just now, Lin Rusong had been standing with them, so no one had seen how he had managed to reach the central platform.
Lin Rusong himself was obviously quite shocked, suddenly appearing on the high platform with a blank expression.
At this moment, a Demon Race Half-Saint suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the platform.
Like Lin Rusong, the Half-Saint from the Demon Race didn’t quite understand the situation when he appeared and looked around blankly.
On the lonely platform, a Star Boundary’s Pseudo Emperor and a Demon Race Half-Saint appeared, each of them less than a thousand feet away from each other while the others were trapped in the light barrier on the other two sides of the platform, unable to escape. This situation was the best example of a one-on-one fight.
“The world has a spirit!” Yang Kai grit his teeth and shouted as he looked up towards the sky, but all he saw was darkness.
He had just agreed to Jia Long’s proposal when such a change occurred. It was as if there was some kind of mysterious will watching over this place, waiting for both sides to agree before immediately creating a one on one battlefield. With this, no one needed to worry about the other side secretly interfering.
Jia Long obviously understood this point and couldn’t help grinning, “It seems this world can’t wait any longer. Interesting, interesting.”
Previously, when the Human and Demon sides had stopped fighting, the Source Heavenly Fruit had almost ripe, but now, with this opportunity, the World’s Will immediately sped up the process of the Great Dao’s struggle! It didn’t even give the two sides a chance to determine who would participate, instead choosing one from their respective camps.
“Sir Lin, attack!” Yang Kai shouted.
Lin Rusong was startled, but he quickly recovered. No matter why he had appeared on this high platform, since there was a Demon Race Half-Saint on the other side, if he wanted to survive, he had to kill him first.
As soon as Yang Kai finished speaking, he raised his hand and summoned a ruler. This ruler was only the size of a palm, and as he poured his Emperor Qi into it, the ruler transformed into a boundless shadow and flew towards the other side.
A strange cackling sound rang out as the Demon Race Half-Saint on the other side transformed into a streak of blood light and flew over, weaving through the endless shadow of the ruler, completely unharmed.
Lin Rusong didn’t panic. Although he was old and had been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests before the Demon Race invaded the Star Boundary, his foundation as a Pseudo Emperor was still there. This ruler-shaped artifact had been refined by him for countless years and had long become one with his mind. When he saw his opponent rush towards him, he immediately clenched his fist and the endless ruler’s shadow twisted, transforming into a giant ruler that swept towards him.
Even if they didn’t face this attack head-on, all of the Half-Saint and Pseudo Emperors who were observing this scene could feel how powerful this attack was. Even if there was a giant mountain in front of this ruler, it would be flattened in the next moment.
As for the Blood Demon Half-Saint, he was caught off guard by the ruler.
In the Star Boundary camp, cheers immediately rang out.
However, at this moment, a loud explosion rang out and the Blood Demon that had been swept away suddenly scattered, transforming into a sea of blood that wrapped around the ruler and towards Lin Rusong.
Lin Rusong’s expression changed as he formed a series of hand seals and summoned his giant ruler back to defend himself, once again transforming it into an endless shadow of a ruler that slammed into the sea of blood. Large amounts of blood were swept away, but the sea of blood seemed to be inexhaustible, its momentum not decreasing in the slightest.
Lin Rusong retreated again, but there was no way out. There seemed to be some kind of invisible barrier around the platform, making it impossible for him to escape.
In a hurry, he bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, causing the ruler to glow brightly as it instantly broke through the obstruction of the Blood Sea and returned to his body, quickly revolving around his body to form a solid barrier.
This artifact was a top-notch offensive and defensive artifact.
A strange laughter rang out as the sea of blood surged towards Lin Rusong like a tsunami, wrapping him up and disappearing.
The two of them had only exchanged a few breaths’ worth of blows, so it was hard to say who was stronger. However, after losing sight of Lin Rusong, many of the Pseudo Emperors from the Star Boundary couldn’t help showing worried looks.
Rumbling sounds rang out from the high platform, but because of the obstruction of the Blood Sea, no one was able to see what was happening inside, but from the looks of it, Lin Rusong and the Blood Demon were obviously fighting to the death.
“How are Sir Lin’s injuries?” Yang Kai asked with a solemn expression.
Bing Yun shook her head sadly, “It’s not light, he had some internal injuries before, so he can only display seventy percent of his peak strength.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s expression became gloomy, knowing that Lin Rusong was probably doomed this time. Although his opponent was also injured, judging from his previous attack, it shouldn’t be as serious as Lin Rusong’s. Moreover, Lin Rusong’s strength was largely dependent on that ruler-shaped artifact, while the Blood Demon’s Blood Sea had an extremely strong corrosive ability. If Lin Rusong couldn’t resolve this battle in a short time, once his artifact was corroded by the Blood Sea, he would lose his greatest reliance and the situation would only become worse.
He knew that his companion’s life was in danger, but he was unable to save him. Yang Kai repeatedly tried to teleport to the platform he was standing on, but he was unable to do anything about it. The light curtain surrounding the platform completely sealed off this space, and Yang Kai stared at the central platform with a gloomy expression while clenching his fists.
Although he and Lin Rusong didn’t have much interaction, the fact that the other party was willing to give up his spot to enter the Profound Heaven Temple was still fresh in Yang Kai’s mind. Such a selfless person shouldn’t die here.
On the other hand, the old dog who had plotted against his companion, Cang Mo, was still standing calmly on the high platform. Yang Kai turned around and glanced at him coldly, vaguely understanding how ruthless the Heavenly Law is.
“I hope Sir Lin is blessed by the Heavens,” Yang Yan let out a long sigh, but she also knew that this was just a way to comfort herself. In such an isolated environment, one could only rely on their own strength.
Opposite him, Jia Long looked over with a smile, and after meeting Yang Kai’s gaze, he reached out and wiped his neck.
The fierce battle continued. The sea of blood was still wrapped up and the situation inside was still unknown. However, rumbling sounds continued to ring out from the sea of blood. On the high platform, Demonic Qi and Emperor Qi were also fiercely colliding.
Yang Kai’s heart sank, it had been too long…
