Chapter 555: Chapter 341: The Fight for First Place

BZZZZ!

An indescribably terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Li Wen’s body.

A faint, golden flame flickered to life across the surface of his skin.

A bi-colored light of gold and silver flowed around him. The space warped and shuddered violently under the sudden surge of power!

His power, speed, reflexes, and comprehension of the Laws.

With the terrifying 180% buff from ”Berserk,” they all instantly soared to a whole new level!

”Break!”

A low, sharp cry!

Li Wen no longer evaded. He faced the purple Demon Claw Millstone, an attack powerful enough to crush stars.

He unleashed a single, unadorned slash, yet it was condensed with furious Primordial Power!

A beam of bi-colored gold and silver light, condensed to its absolute limit, suddenly flashed into existence—as if it could sunder time and space itself!

There was no earth-shattering roar, only an absolute sharpness that could sever all, annihilate all!

SHIIIIING—!

The bi-colored beam of light easily sliced into the seemingly indestructible purple Demon Claw Millstone.

For a moment, time itself seemed to freeze.

The next instant!

BOOOM!!!

The massive purple Demon Claw Millstone was forcefully split open right down the middle.

The berserk energy of destruction and Space Law contained within it instantly spiraled out of control, annihilating itself and dissipating into a sky full of purple motes of light.

The slash’s momentum didn’t falter. Moving faster than thought, it pierced through the center of the energy explosion and shot straight for Hua Sha’s body.

Hua Sha’s pupils contracted. The shadow of death instantly fell over him.

With a wild roar, he crossed his arms, pushing his Demon Arm Gauntlets to their absolute limit.

He threw up layer after layer of purplish-black shields in front of him.

However—

KRAK! KRAK! KRAK!

The golden-silver slash was unstoppable!

The sturdy shields were shattered one after another as if they were made of paper.

SHUNK!

The slash finally struck Hua Sha’s gauntlets, letting out a heavy, dull thud.

”Urgh—!”

Hua Sha’s body was thrown back as if struck by a meteor.

He was sent flying uncontrollably. His Demon Arm Gauntlets whined as shocking cracks spread across their surface.

His virtual body flickered violently in mid-air, and his aura instantly weakened. He had clearly been severely wounded.

Silence!

A dead silence!

Whether in the live grandstands or in the countless corners watching the broadcast, all sound vanished at this moment.

The spectators from the Lain Empire who supported Li Wen were left with their mouths agape, having forgotten to cheer.

The ecstatic joy on the faces of Hua Sha’s fans instantly froze, turning into looks of utter, disbelieving horror.

The voices of the bettors who had been cursing him out abruptly stopped, their eyes wide as saucers.

On the stage, the golden and silver flames around Li Wen slowly receded, but his heart-stopping, oppressive aura remained.

He calmly watched Hua Sha fly backward, making no move to pursue him.

Hua Sha stumbled upon landing, barely managing to stay on his feet.

He looked down at his cracked Demon Arm Gauntlets, then raised his head to look at Li Wen, whose presence was as deep and steady as a mountain.

His purple eyes were filled with shock and unwillingness, but these feelings eventually melted into a complex sense of relief.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he just gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

Motes of light, signaling the collapse of his virtual body, began to appear on him.

The match was decided.

”Victor—Li Wen!” The cold, system announcement echoed through the arena and spread via broadcast to the entire Alka District.

After a brief moment of dead silence.

”ROAR—!!!”

The grandstand section for the Lain Empire erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for ten thousand years.

Deafening cheers and screams merged into a fanatical torrent!

”God of Slaughter! Invincible!”

”Li Wen! Li Wen! Li Wen!”

”We won! We won! Long live the great God of Slaughter!”

The ecstatic spectators from Lain embraced one another, wildly waving their flags, their excitement beyond words.

Those who bet on Li Wen to win were crying tears of joy, frantically calculating their winnings.

”Hahaha! Even 1.12 odds is a win! The God of Slaughter is fucking awesome!”

”I knew it! I knew Lord Li Wen wouldn’t let us down!”

Meanwhile, a gloomy cloud hung over the stands for Demon Hand Hua Sha’s supporters. Many were crestfallen, unable to accept this outcome.

Some who had bet heavily on Hua Sha’s victory were ashen-faced, collapsing into their seats.

In the preparation area, there was a similar uproar.

Ares Titan slapped his thigh and let out a hearty laugh. ”Hahaha! Beautifully done, Li Wen!”

A smile of both relief and immense joy bloomed on Isabel’s stunning face, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a dazzling light.

Saphis Yingge’s face was ashen. He stared fixedly at Li Wen’s figure on the light screen, his nails nearly digging into his palms.

Not only had Li Wen won, but he had won in such a dominant fashion!

This stoked the flames of jealousy in his heart, making them burn even more fiercely.

Oleg, ranked fifth overall, sucked in a cold breath. ”That instantaneous burst... it’s terrifying! To shatter Hua Sha’s Demon Claw defense with a single strike...”

The geniuses who had once fought Li Wen or followed his battles now had only one thought in their minds.

’The God of Slaughter, Li Wen, is even more unfathomable than they had imagined.’

And in the deepest part of the preparation area, Blood Slaughter Barton, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

His eyes, which seemed to be steeped in a sea of blood, landed precisely on Li Wen, who had just been teleported back to the preparation area.

The corner of his mouth seemed to twitch upward, ever so slightly.

’Interesting.’

A single word, filled with an endless, bloody killing intent, quietly echoed in the depths of Barton’s mind.

「Meanwhile.」

The name of Demon Hand Hua Sha on the giant stone monument, which symbolized the highest glory in the Alka District, suddenly dimmed and then slowly slid down.

Of the three names that had been tied for the top spot, only two now remained.

Like two radiant suns, they hung at the apex for all to look up to—Blood Slaughter Barton (Murphy Empire) and the God of Slaughter, Li Wen (Lain Empire).
