Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

In the Imperial City, countless eyes were fixed on the arena, holding their breaths in紧张 anticipation.

Jie Kong's attacking aura soared to the sky.

That thousand-foot battle blade was like a bolt of white silk, the bloodline runes on the blade radiating dazzling metallic light.

The blade energy it unleashed caused the sky to change color, presenting a terrifying scene of the destruction of the universe, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Faced with such an astonishing strike,

Xiao Ruoqing's expression was indifferent, her eyes opening and closing, revealing her double pupils.

Instantly, a blurred universe condensed within the opening and closing of her eyes.

Within that universe was a scene of violent chaos, as if heaven and earth were just being created.

The power of the double pupils to create the heavens was not just a saying; it truly possessed such power.

Rumble!

The surrounding void, heaven and earth, all collapsed violently in the instant her double pupils opened and closed, contracting towards the center.

Clang!

Jie Kong's slashing battle blade paused in its fierce momentum.

An invisible force seemed to firmly imprison the blade in mid-air, making it difficult for it to fall even a fraction further.

At the same time, the blade's aura shattered under the power of the double pupils' creation of heaven and earth, and the shocking killing intent was forcibly obliterated.

Jie Kong was shocked and furious, roaring as he tried to pull back his battle blade to break through the surrounding void and the power of "momentum" collapsing from heaven and earth that was crushing towards him.

However, despite his violent yanking, the battle blade condensed from bloodline power remained motionless. The blade hummed, the bloodline runes on it burning with divine flames, erupting with power, yet still unable to break free.

Jie Kong was greatly alarmed.

How could the opponent be so strong, despite not even reaching the Legendary Realm?

How could the double pupils possess such heaven-defying power?

This was completely different from what he knew about the double pupil bloodline!

The surrounding void was collapsing and contracting towards him, and so was heaven and earth. All of this stemmed from the power within the opponent's eyes opening and closing.

He could already clearly feel his body being squeezed from all directions.

"Divine Metal Body, Imperishable Through Myriad Calamities!"

Jie Kong's body rapidly transformed into metal, surging with intense divinity, the metallic cold light dazzling, and an aura of imperishability pervading.

He had now activated the strongest defensive state of his bloodline trait.

At the same time, he unleashed secret techniques and divine abilities, striking in all directions.

He was well aware that he had to break through the formed domain and rush out of it.

Only by rushing out of the opponent's domain could his body no longer be affected and restricted by the power of the double pupils, and only then could he launch a better counterattack.

However, he discovered that no matter how he attacked, the barrier of this domain simply did not appear, and his attacks were like stones sinking into the sea.

Rumble!

The squeezing force coming from all directions became even more violent, the roaring sound deafening.

Immediately afterwards, Jie Kong's divine abilities and secret techniques collapsed one after another, and the power of the domain completely impacted his body, erupting with ear-piercing metallic tremors, causing his body to splatter with sparks.

"Ah! Open for me!"

Around Jie Kong, the force of imprisonment formed by the shrinking and crushing space became stronger and stronger.

His range of movement was greatly restricted.

He stretched his hands to both sides, Dao patterns blooming between his palms and fingers, evolving into Dao diagrams, frantically releasing killing power, and immortal Dao magic power swept out like a torrent.

But this was still useless.

His immortal Dao magic power was collapsing, and the squeezing force was preventing him from straightening his arms, which began to bend.

"No! Impossible, how could I possibly be defeated by you like this!"

Jie Kong could not accept the cruel reality.

He had originally been full of confidence, thinking he could kill this woman with the double pupils.

As a result, as soon as they exchanged blows, he was suppressed by the opponent to such an extent that his body was about to become unable to move.

This feeling made him feel deeply powerless, both angry and unwilling, and also filled with shame and despair.

At this moment, he saw the woman with the double pupils striding towards him.

With each of her steps, the squeezing force coming from all directions became even more terrifying.

He condensed all his strength to resist and struggle, but he could not break free no matter what.

By the time the opponent walked in front of him, his body was completely unable to move; he couldn't even move a finger.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!

You haven't reached the Legendary Realm, how can you have such power!

How exactly did you do it, what secrets do you have, what exactly did you use!"

Jie Kong roared hysterically.

Seeing the opponent's condescending posture and gaze, he completely broke down, and an unspeakable sense of shame raged in his heart, making him extremely humiliated, his eyes bloodshot, and his pupils filled with blood.

Xiao Ruoqing remained indifferent, not giving any response at all.

She opened her slender, jade-like palm, covering the top of Jie Kong's head.

Strands of mysterious power fell like silken ribbons, enveloping the immobile Jie Kong.

Jie Kong, his face contorted, immediately let out a miserable scream, his facial features twisting wildly, his eyeballs bulging out of their sockets, and metallic liquid-like blood began to overflow from his ears, nose, and mouth.

"How dare you do this! How dare you do this!

Your Junyue Dynasty is doing heaven-defying things; one day, you will surely suffer a catastrophe, ah—"

Jie Kong's screams no longer sounded like something a human could make.

His body was visibly shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a deflating inflated man.

He could clearly feel his cultivation and life essence, as well as his origin, converging towards the Star Sea, where they were being forcibly condensed into a Dao fruit.

How dare the people of the Junyue Dynasty act like this!

How much courage did they have to use such cruel methods to forcibly strip the Dao fruit from a prodigy from a forbidden zone of life!

Jie Kong felt that the people of the Junyue Dynasty had completely gone mad.

This matter made him feel absurd, but also sad.

A prodigy like himself, with such a status, even if he went to a higher world, few forces besides those from other forbidden zones of life would dare to provoke him.

But today, in this low-level cultivation civilization of the Divine Ancient World, he was being treated like this by the cultivators of this world, and he was ending up in such a miserable state.

He felt his consciousness fading, already somewhat blurred, and about to lose sensation.

At this moment, the opponent suddenly stopped continuing to strip the last trace of life essence from his body.

He saw her, hazily, forcibly taking away the Dao fruit condensed in his Cave Heaven Star Sea.

However, he was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

"The double pupils do not need to defy the heavens, yet they can kill you."

These were the first words Xiao Ruoqing spoke upon entering the arena.

… …

In the arena, the double pupil phenomenon slowly dissipated, and the scene inside gradually appeared in people's vision.

Jie Kong suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, his Qi and blood rushing upwards, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat. A mouthful of blood almost spurted out of his mouth.

His body swayed twice, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled.

The scene inside the arena made it difficult for him to accept!

These three matches had to be guaranteed to be won completely. As long as one match was lost, the entire situation would be lost!

Originally, he had been full of confidence, but the cruel reality had struck him heavily!

He lost!

The Myriad Calamity Wasteland, which they represented, had lost in this duel!.

The ancient ancestors were watching, witnessing with their own eyes how he and his companions had been utterly defeated in front of the cultivators of the Divine Ancient World, losing all the face of the Myriad Calamity Wasteland!

Jie Kong sat down with a thud, his whole body as if he had lost his strength, his chest rising and falling sharply.

There was too much unwillingness in his heart.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the arena.

Seeing this scene, the people of the Imperial City were surging with excitement!

Divine Empress Xiao won!

At this point, in the entire duel, the dynasty had won all four matches, the duel was over, and the Myriad Calamity Wasteland had lost, and had been utterly defeated!

For the dynasty, it was such glory to win a great victory over the forbidden zone of life!

Just as people came back to their senses and were about to raise their arms and cheer, Xiao Ruoqing's voice, which stunned and puzzled everyone, echoed in the arena.

"I, Xiao Ruoqing, concede this match!"

Her voice spread out of the arena, echoing above the Imperial City.

Instantly, the little excitement that people had just had disappeared in an instant.

Countless people had stunned expressions, their faces full of disbelief, thinking they were hallucinating, and couldn't help but shake their heads, even rubbing their ears.

Divine Empress Xiao conceded?

How could she concede?

What was going on? The prodigy of the Myriad Calamity Wasteland was already on his last breath, slumped on the ground, and didn't even have the strength to move.

Looking at Divine Empress Xiao again, her energy and spirit were vigorous, clearly maintaining a peak state!

At this time, she could completely kill her opponent with a flick of her finger.

Yet, she took the initiative to concede!

People couldn't understand why she did this.

For a time, countless eyes couldn't help but automatically turn to Jun Wuxie.

Everyone wanted to know what Jun Shen's reaction would be.

But to their incomprehension, Jun Shen's expression was indifferent, seemingly not caring at all, and was still leisurely sipping tea.

In this way, could it be that Divine Empress Xiao's initiative to concede was with Jun Shen's permission, or in fact, it was Jun Shen's intention?

Could it be that Jun Shen had some deep meaning in doing this?

People couldn't figure it out, couldn't understand, and were completely puzzled.

It wasn't just the people of the Imperial City who were astonished, but also the people of the Myriad Calamity Wasteland.

Jie Kong came back to his senses and almost jumped up from his seat in an instant.

He stared at Xiao Ruoqing, who walked out of the arena, and then looked at Jun Wuxie, who was sitting by the table leisurely sipping tea, his eyes seeming to pierce through them.

It was too abnormal!

Jun Wuxie clearly wanted to win this duel extremely much.

He wanted the Primordial Immortal Grass that he brought out from the forbidden zone!

Now, victory was right in front of him. He could clearly win this duel and get the Immortal Grass, but he insisted on giving it up.

Jie Kong simply didn't believe that Xiao Ruoqing's initiative to concede was her own decision.

Xiao Ruoqing was Jun Wuxie's woman.

What kind of person was Jun Wuxie? He was incomparably strong. Would his woman dare to make decisions for him without authorization?

The answer was no.

So, this was Jun Wuxie's tacit agreement, perhaps even something they had discussed beforehand.

Why would he do this?

"Jun Wuxie, what tricks are you playing!"

Jie Xin's gaze pierced through the sky, cold and sharp.

"Guess."

Jun Wuxie leisurely placed the teacup in his hand on the table, watching Jie Xin's slightly distorted face with a smile.

"This young master will guess your a**…"

Jie Xin was so angry that he subconsciously wanted to curse.

But he ultimately restrained himself.

After all, he was the young master of the Life Forbidden Zone lineage, and his words and actions represented the Myriad Tribulations Desolate Land when he was out and about.

Most importantly, the ancient ancestors were watching this place.

He didn't want the ancient ancestors to see his out-of-control side, lest they think his temperament was lacking and he was unfit for great responsibilities.

"What's wrong, could it be that Young Master Jie Xin is addicted to losing?

In the first round, one win and three losses, that's a terrible record for your Myriad Tribulations Desolate Land.

Since the duel venue is in my Junyue Royal City, as the host, we naturally have to give you some face and not let you lose too badly.

I also don't want to see you always losing, it's unbearable.

Now, your Myriad Tribulations Desolate Land has finally won a match.

Young Master Jie Xin, you should be happy.

After all, it's not easy for you to win a match."

"Jun Wuxie! Don't be too arrogant!"

Jie Xin was so angry when he heard these words that his lungs were about to explode!

The other party was humiliating him, humiliating the Myriad Tribulations Desolate Land!

The implication was that they were too pitiful, so they were allowed to win a match, a condescending attitude.

What did they take them for, beggars?

"Hey, do the people of your Myriad Tribulations Desolate Land only have this much cultivation?

My daddy saw that you were too miserable and let you win a match, but not only are you not grateful, but you are also rude, don't you know how to behave?

Xian'er unceremoniously retorted to Jie Xin.

"Junior, this young master is talking to your father, what qualifications do you have to interrupt!"

Jie Xin was so angry that he couldn't stand it, even a junior dared to speak to him like this in front of him!

"Daddy, look, that Jie Xin is being mean to me!"

Xian'er complained to Jun Wuxie angrily.

"Daddy will take care of him for you later."

Jun Wuxie said with a smile, his tone completely treating Jie Xin as meat on the chopping board.

This made Jie Xin so angry that he was shaking all over.

Always calm and composed, not surprised by anything, since the start of the duel, he had been unable to remain calm, and at this time, he was so angry that he almost lost his composure.

Thinking that the ancient ancestors were watching, he had to take a deep breath and forcibly restrain the anger in his heart.
