The Potent Thunder Spear!
A spear thrust out, like a long dragon, tearing through the firmament.
With one strike, Ye Xuan was forced back several feet, while the King of Slaughter retreated a few steps. Although Ye Xuan was at a disadvantage, he knew clearly that if he went all out, the King of Slaughter would either die or be severely injured here.
Clang clang clang~~
Weapons clashed, figures flickered, and in an instant, the two had exchanged dozens of blows. Although Ye Xuan was at a disadvantage, he had withstood every attack from the King of Slaughter.
70 moves!
80 moves! 100 moves!!
Soon, their exchange of blows surpassed a hundred moves, yet their fight continued.
"Good lad!!!"
The King of Slaughter grew more excited with each passing moment, his attacks becoming even more fierce. Even the other three of the Four Great War Kings felt a tremor of fear, for the King of Slaughter's current attacks were something they too would have to face with utmost seriousness. It was hard to imagine that such an assault was being parried by a lightning cultivator general of the Fourth Order Great Emperor.
110 moves, 130 moves, 150 moves.......
As time wore on, energy surged throughout the arena.
At a certain moment!
With a muffled thud, the battle ended. Ye Xuan looked at the King of Slaughter opposite him with emotion, understanding why this fellow could be the leader of the Four Great War Kings. It wasn't just his realm, but his combat consciousness was utterly beyond ordinary men.
"Hahaha, exhilarating!!"
The King of Slaughter threw his head back and laughed, his gaze towards Ye Xuan filled with satisfaction. "It's been so long since I've had such a thrilling fight. No wonder Commander Ye could so easily apprehend everyone from the Battle Axe Alliance."
"Honestly, those few War Kings are far inferior to Commander Ye."
"Fierce and decisive in his attacks!!"
Hearing the King of Slaughter's words, the other three War Kings twitched their lips. Damn it, were they not fierce enough? They were afraid that if they injured the King of Slaughter, he would keep them as sparring partners in the future.
Gulp~
Tumeng swallowed hard, looking at the arena in disbelief. "Am I dreaming? He actually exchanged blows for 200 moves without being at a disadvantage!"
"Commander Ye's combat power is too terrifying!"
Star Lord Eliiv's smile widened. The more outstanding Ye Xuan was, the more it proved that giving him the Potent Thunder Spear was an extremely wise decision.
"A bet is a bet!"
The King of Slaughter was clearly in a good mood and tossed a spatial bag to Ye Xuan. "Here, these are your 100 mid-grade Emperor Crystals."
"Then thank you, King of Slaughter."
Taking the spatial bag, Ye Xuan smiled. The King of Slaughter, however, shook his head. "This is what you deserve."
Mu Ling'er's eyes widened as she watched her master fight the King of Slaughter. "My heavens, Master is so much more powerful than I imagined."
"Indeed, His Excellency's strength far surpasses our imagination."
Zofia also smacked her lips, saying, "No wonder His Excellency didn't care about the Battle Axe Alliance before. It turns out His Excellency never took them seriously at all."
The surrounding crowd was also in an uproar, their gazes towards Ye Xuan in the arena changing completely.
"Commander Ye is actually this strong!"
"Yes, he didn't get injured after two hundred moves, though King of Slaughter didn't use his full power."
"Too strong! Having a War King like him to protect us is the fortune of our Planet Atlan!"
"Indeed. Currently, many planets have been either destroyed or enslaved."
The crowd around them sighed with emotion. Soon, the arena returned to its normal state. Star Lord Eliiv nodded, "Commander Ye, you are very impressive!"
"I hope in the future, you do not disgrace the Potent Thunder Spear. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Star Lord of Planet Atlan, at the Ninth Grade Venerable level, used this thunder spear to slay several Void Ancestors!!"
"Back then... it was the most glorious period for our Planet Atlan. It is a pity that it has now declined to this state."
Eliiv was filled with emotion. He longed to recreate the glory of the past every moment, but his talent was limited. Although he was a wind cultivator, he was still far from that esteemed individual.
"I haven't thanked Star Lord for the Potent Thunder Spear yet."
Ye Xuan held the thunder spear in his hand, truly feeling that it suited him perfectly.
Eliiv shook his head. "When that esteemed individual perished, he told every successive Star Lord to help this thunder spear find a worthy master to let it shine again."
"Now that it is in your hands, its mission is complete."
As he spoke, Eliiv thought of something and his gaze fell upon Ye Xuan. "By the way, Commander Ye."
"In half a month, it will be the time for the Star River Empire's Planet Ranking Competition. Commander Ye can participate with us."
"Planet Ranking Competition??"
Hearing Eliiv's words, Ye Xuan was taken aback. Tumeng, standing beside him, explained, "Commander Ye, the Planet Ranking Competition that Star Lord mentioned is quite simple. It is one of the most grand events held by the Star River Empire. At that time, all planets with a reputable name within the Star River Empire will participate."
"Of course, the rewards are also extremely generous. The first-ranked planet will receive 1000 high-grade Emperor Crystals, the second place will receive 800 high-grade Emperor Crystals, the third place will receive 500 high-grade Emperor Crystals. Planets ranked fourth to tenth will receive 300 high-grade Emperor Crystals. Tenth to fiftieth will receive 200 high-grade Emperor Crystals, and fiftieth to one hundredth will receive 100 high-grade Emperor Crystals."
"It is also known as the Star River Empire's Top 100 Planets!"
"However, there are restrictions to participating in the ranking competition. Participants must be under 150 years old, regardless of gender, race, or skin color, etc."
Good heavens!
Hearing Tumeng's words, Ye Xuan was shocked. A reward of 1000 high-grade Emperor Crystals, what a concept! It was equivalent to Planet Atlan's income for a hundred years, simply heaven-defying.
However, Ye Xuan also understood that Planet Atlan was currently only a mid-tier planet. Above it were high-tier planets and super planets. At that time, countless geniuses would surely gather.
Heavy rewards attract brave men. Clearly, the Star River Empire had grasped this point very well.
"Ding! Host has triggered a random mission: Participate in the Star River Empire Ranking Competition and claim the championship!"
"Mission Choice One: Accept the mission, receive ten times the rebate, with a rebate cap of 50,000 Star River Coins, and a bonus of 100 mid-grade Emperor Crystals!"
"Mission Choice Two: Refuse the mission, wealth will shrink by 30%!"
The system's voice sounded in his ear. Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. Claim the championship, the system truly thought highly of him.
The King of Slaughter also sighed, "Planet Atlan is, after all, only a mid-tier planet in this region. Beyond it, there are endless planets. Conservatively estimated, there will be at least tens of millions of planets qualified to participate!"
"Each planet qualified to send Great Emperor powerhouses to compete will likely have dozens of them. This means the number of competitors will be around tens of billions."
"And..."
At this point, the King of Slaughter paused and looked at Ye Xuan. "I recall fifty years ago, in the ranking competition, the first place was taken by a cultivator over 120 years old. At that time, his strength had already reached the Sixth Order Great Emperor, the same as the Star Lord."
"That person is now a powerful figure, rumored to have reached the Ninth Grade Venerable!"
Hearing the King of Slaughter's words, Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback. Sixth Order Great Emperor, it seems... this championship is not that difficult to obtain.
