Chapter 562 - 562 581 Peng Demon Admits Defeat

562: Chapter 581: Peng Demon Admits Defeat 562: Chapter 581: Peng Demon Admits Defeat Regardless of whether it was the Peng Demon or Ye Xuan and others, none of the powerful fighters present had ever heard the name “True Monarch of All Laws.” It was as if there had never been such a character between Heaven and Earth.

Soon, as the second round ended and the draw for the third round began.

One against eight, two against seven, three against six, four against five; each pair would decide the victor and advance to the final four.

The eight contenders drew lots in turn, and as they revealed their drawn numbers, they quickly determined their opponents for the next round.

Something interesting happened; Ye Xuan’s opponent was none other than the Peng Demon, with whom he had traveled.

This caused the Peng Demon’s expression to freeze for a moment before his eyes shifted subtly, pondering something unknown.

Shen Tu against Sword Demon, Netherworld Daoist against Green Phoenix Daoist, Southern Extreme Immortal Elder against True Monarch of All Laws—the four matches were sequentially set.

In the Taixiao Starry Sky, where stars were aligned, countless large stars moved in their orbits against the churning Star Sea.

The Chaos Arena, vast beyond measure, rose up as powerful fighters from all sides watched intently from the sidelines.

Clang!

With the tolling of a bell echoing through the Chaos Arena, the first bout officially began.

The first match, Ye Xuan vs.

Peng Demon!

With all eyes upon them and emotions surging among the crowd, every powerful fighter focused their gaze on the two contenders.

From the battle of the top eight, an earth-shattering war was bound to occur—a fight of such caliber between those at the peak of Daluo was a rare sight in endless eras.

At the Daluo Peak, to be revered as a Patriarch or Ancestor is to be the Supreme being beneath the Quasi-Saint.

To witness such a pinnacle battle is a tremendous opportunity for all powerful fighters.

Rumble!

Ye Xuan took a step forward and positioned himself in the center of the Chaos Arena.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, calm as a still pond, silently waiting for the Peng Demon to enter the fray.

The Peng Demon wore an indecisive expression, but under the watchful eyes of the powerful fighters, he leisurely strolled through the starry sky towards the Chaos Arena and quietly positioned himself opposite Ye Xuan.

“This Peng Demon is treacherous and brutal, extremely cruel in his methods.

Legend has it that in ancient times, even the Quasi-Saint failed to capture him after chasing him for millions of miles.

Even in the Daluo Nine Layer Heavens, he’s an incredibly tough opponent.”

“If you ask me, even though Heavenly Emperor Ye has invincible combat power, facing the ferocious Peng Demon, I’m afraid he is not his match.”

“Daoist speaks the truth.

Heavenly Emperor Ye is but an up-and-comer, although his talent is unparalleled in ancient and modern times, against Peng Demon the odds are more likely ill than good.”

Various opinions rose.

The powerful fighters were all appraising the pair, and clearly, most favored the Peng Demon—after all, his notoriety for brutal victories had spread throughout the Heaven and Earth for countless eras, a reputation not easily matched by Ye Xuan.

In the center of the Chaos Arena.

Ye Xuan stood calmly, his Daluo Immortal Body glowing faintly, and an aura as profound as Heaven and Earth enveloped him.

His gaze towards the Peng Demon was utterly tranquil.

“Ha ha.”

Suddenly, as the powerful fighters intently focused on the battle, the Peng Demon burst into laughter at the center of the Chaos Arena and, to the astonishment of onlookers, bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

“Big Brother Ye is the Three Realms Emperor, how could I possibly be a match for you?

Today, as we brothers confront each other, wouldn’t it be like a flood washing over the Dragon King Temple, with family fighting against family?”

The Peng Demon lowered himself, his face bearing a fawning smile, showing no intention of battling against Ye Xuan whatsoever.

“I’m not skilled enough to be Ye Xuan’s opponent; I concede without a fight,” Peng Demon said with a sycophantic smile.

Amidst the stunned gazes of the various Great Divine Powers, he conceded on the spot.

Stepping out, he left the Chaos Arena, clearly having no intention of fighting Ye Xuan.

Such a scene left not only the various Great Divine Powers speechless but even Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback, looking at Peng Demon with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Despite Peng Demon’s extreme deference on their journey, constantly referring to himself as ‘little brother’ and to Ye Xuan as ‘big brother,’ Ye Xuan had never underestimated Peng Demon.

Because Ye Xuan knew that when a person reached the pinnacle of Daluo peak existence, being able to discard their dignity and lower their stature, such a person was undoubtedly the most fearsome.

What puzzled Ye Xuan was the thought that Peng Demon’s show of goodwill was merely an attempt at targeting the Immortal Extinguishing Sword.

The Immortal Extinguishing Sword was a Spiritual Treasure of the Heavenly Sect Master.

Even if Peng Demon harbored malicious intentions and managed to steal the sword from him, would the Heavenly Sect Master let him get away with it?

Ye Xuan couldn’t fathom Peng Demon’s purpose, but he stopped pondering over it because he knew that no matter what Peng Demon’s intentions were, they would eventually become apparent.

Speculating wildly would be of no use.

The first battle ended anticlimactically, leaving the various Great Divine Powers extremely disappointed, while Ye Xuan advanced to the next round and promptly left the Chaos Arena.

“How dare I challenge big brother in a contest?

If I were to truly strike at big brother, wouldn’t I just be humiliating myself?” Peng Demon came over with a flattering smile, lavishing praise on Ye Xuan and completely ignoring the contemptuous looks from the various Great Divine Powers.

“Little brother’s concession is too generous for me to accept,” Ye Xuan said with a forced smile, engaging in superficial pleasantries with Peng Demon.

Both were profoundly scheming individuals, with many similarities: ruthless, vicious, and malicious in their methods.

Their warm conversation in the midst of this intense setting left the various Great Divine Powers speechless.

Dang!

The bell sounded, echoing in all directions, marking the start of the second round of the contest.

The conversation between Ye Xuan and Peng Demon ceased as they both turned their attention towards the Chaos Arena.

The second round was between Netherworld Daoist and Green Bird Daoist.

Boom!

The starry sky shook, and the void collapsed.

Green Bird Daoist, a terrifying presence of the Daluo Eighth Layer Heaven, was not far behind the brilliance of the Sun True Monarch.

As he made his appearance, the overwhelming Green Bird Heavenly Fire roared across the sky, displaying its terrifying power unquestionably.

Netherworld Daoist!

He still retained his withered and aged appearance, his body hunched over and radiating decay, with only a murky yellow light swirling around him, creating an aura of profound mystery.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Netherworld Daoist slowly entered the arena, seemingly oblivious to the terrifying power emanating from Green Bird Daoist.

His old, raspy voice echoed through the Chaos Arena.

“You’re no match for me; you should just step down.”

As Netherworld Daoist finished speaking, Green Bird Daoist’s face turned cold.

The Green Bird Heavenly Fire roared through the sky as he gathered Daluo Immortal Technique in his hands, his gaze towards Netherworld Daoist sharp with lethal intent.

“A joke.

To think I would surrender?

Are you dreaming?” Green Bird Daoist snapped back harshly.

“You overestimate yourself, little Green Bird.

Since you seek death so insistently, this humble Daoist can only oblige,” said Netherworld Daoist, shaking his head in resignation.

Without any display of terrifying power, he simply stepped toward Green Bird Daoist.

Yet, within the millions of miles of the Chaos Arena, the sound of water subtly began to rise, and the starry space turned ominously dim.
