Chapter 581: 308: Fight to the Death, Never Rest
Dark light circulated, chaotic currents collapsed.
Cave Heavens appeared faintly, and the laws interwove.
The eight Heavenly Prides of the Demon Race exuded powerful auras, their warlike intent reaching the sky, revealing the domineering light in their eyes.
On the human side, eight figures also soared into the sky, landing in the void behind the Monster Extermination Army Commander, with their terrifying aura rivaling that of the eight Heavenly Prides of the Demon Race.
The contestants from both sides all gathered, and Emperor Demon King and Song Que acted together, opening up a Void Battlefield.
Laws filled the air, rules enveloped it, and a battle platform with a range of a hundred miles formed.
Before the outcome was determined, one could only enter and not leave this battle platform.
At the moment the platform formed, one of the Demon Race’s Heavenly Prides behind Emperor Demon King transformed into a ray of light and rushed into the Void Battle Platform.
He was tall and burly, with a strong physique, a crocodile head, human body, and a long tail, wielding a sharp giant axe in each hand.
Soaring demon energy emanated from his body, making people feel cold at heart.
The two giant axes in his hands, in particular, radiated a cold light, seemingly able to effortlessly split mountains and shatter rivers.
“Grandpa E Tongtian is here, which human brat will fight me, quickly come on stage and die.”
E Tongtian stood proudly on the Void Battle Platform, swinging his fierce and domineering double axes while shouting at Lu Yun and the others, his voice shaking the entire starry sky.
There was a violent upheaval on the human side, seemingly enraged by the arrogant posture of the crocodile-headed creature.
However, the expressions of the eight contestants showed no change. Not only was their fighting strength outstanding, but their state of mind was also top-notch, or else they wouldn’t have reached this stage.
Especially Zhang Meng, who had risen all the way from the Monster Extermination Army, experienced countless life-and-death battles, and had honed his state of mind and willpower to a terrifying degree.
Standing side by side with other Heavenly Prides like Lu Yun, he wasn’t overshadowed by their brilliance.
“Everyone, wait for my triumphant return!”
After saying this to Lu Yun and the others with a clasped fist, Zhang Meng immediately transformed into a blood light, soaring into the sky and landing on the Void Battle Platform.
Everyone felt that Zhang Meng was a bit different at this moment, as the cold wind blowing around him was extinguished by the killing intent he emitted.
“Begin!” Seeing the contestants from both sides take the stage, Emperor Demon King in the void uttered indifferently.
As his words fell, the dazzling light rippled on the Void Battle Platform enveloped in vast laws. Zhang Meng and E Tongtian launched their most ferocious attacks, charging at each other.
From the moment they took the stage, both sides knew that the battle would not end until one of them died, so neither held back.
Boom! Boom!
Instantly, the two figures clashed, and terrifying ripples erupted one after another on the Void Battle Platform, but none of them could exceed the platform’s range.
It was as if all the power was extinguished by a mysterious force just as it was about to break free from the platform’s boundary.
Gunlight crisscrossed, ax light tore through the sky, with various fierce attacks wildly colliding.
People with weaker strength couldn’t see the specifics of the battle on the platform, barely able to discern the blurry silhouettes continuously clashing.
But in the eyes of top experts, the confrontation between the two sides was crystal clear.
E Tongtian’s strength was undoubtedly impressive, as the first choice for the Demon Race’s life-and-death battle. A general Rune Seed Realm mid-stage human couldn’t withstand the power of his single axe strike.
Judging by the strength he displayed, he could even barely wrestle with the Rune Seed Realm late stage.
Each of his axes carried the momentum of splitting mountains and the might of tearing rivers apart. The terrifying aura sent waves surging.
Unfortunately for E Tongtian, the opponent was far from weak.
Zhang Meng, while not as talented as the Heavenly Prides of the Celestial Strategy Army, had grown up in the Monster Extermination Army, killing countless Demon Beasts and experiencing innumerable life-and-death battles.
Most importantly, he had a very stable foundation at each realm.
When he was in the Golden Body Realm, he killed nearly a hundred sixth-rank peak Demon Beasts to refine the top-notch Rune Seeds. He only began his breakthrough when his realm couldn’t progress further.
In the Rune Seed Realm, he immersed himself for over a decade, experiencing a series of life-and-death battles to solidify his foundations.
It could be said that he had reached the extreme in the early stage of the Rune Seed Realm, and his fighting strength was at its limit.
Regardless of the degree of power E Tongtian unleashed with his giant axe, Zhang Meng remained calm, and his eyes showed no fluctuations.
He had killed more than one Demon Beast at the level of E Tongtian’s strength before.
It was precisely because of his terrifying strength that when the time came to select candidates for the life-and-death battle, he virtually faced no challenges and became the first contestant.
With a simple gunshot, E Tongtian’s chest collapsed.
The second gunshot went off, and E Tongtian, who was on guard, bled from the corner of his mouth, severely injured.
The third gunshot, fast as a thunderbolt, left a bloody hole in E Tongtian’s burly body.
After gaining the upper hand in the battle, Zhang Meng’s moves became even more fierce, and his power grew stronger.
One gunshot after another, his power increased steadily, and the once formidable E Tongtian gradually succumbed to fatigue.
Facing the increasingly weak opponent, Zhang Meng showed no relaxation. He had experienced too many life-and-death battles, and being careless could lead to turning the tables.
“Emperor Demon King, save me!”
Seeing Zhang Meng’s growing strength, E Tongtian was finally frightened. He looked at the Emperor Demon King standing proudly in the void for help.
Unfortunately, this was a life-and-death battle without respite. The Emperor Demon King just watched coldly, giving no response.
Feeling the incredibly cold gaze, E Tongtian suddenly turned pale and despaired completely.
