Just from that alone, it was possible to tell Tian Yi's status in the sovereign God Realm.
However, the more he did that, the more he took Long Chen down a notch.
After all, Long Chen was about to learn from the Darkstar God King. After all, even the Darkstar God King treated this Tushan God King with such respect, so there was nothing he could do. After all, he understood that he was still a mid tier deity among the deities of the myriad worlds. There were far too many experts that surpassed him.
However, halfway through, a single sentence from Tian Yi made Long Chen stop.
It was just a small matter, but it made the several tens of thousands of Godkings immediately see the difference in status between Long Chen and Tian Yi. Originally, Long Chen's challenge to Tian Yi was a challenge from a lowly character to a prodigy, but it seemed even more like it now.
Sure enough, the two eternal Godkings could not help but sneer.
"You're throwing an egg at a rock. You'll become a laughingstock."
Their laughter led to quite a few other people's laughter as well.
Of course, this was only one detail.
Perhaps Tian Yi had been thinking for Long Chen's sake in the first place, which was why he had created this effect. He had not expected it either, so he glanced at the two eternal Godkings coldly.
Behind him, the ultimate divine king Tushan God King glanced at Long Chen a few more times, but he did not particularly care. He said, "Darkstar, you preside over the battle. Don't worry about the five of us. We've come this time mainly to test young master Tian Yi's growth over the years. We won't interfere."
"Yes, senior Tushan."
The Darkstar God King remained extremely polite, but he also let out a sigh of relief for Long Chen. If they insisted on interfering, it would indeed be very difficult for Long Chen to emerge victorious under their suppression. For example, a figure on par with Di Jun like the Tushan God King could definitely easily influence Long Chen in battle without anyone noticing and defeat Long Chen.
"Just stand to one side and watch. If you want to cause trouble, then don't mind me. I'll be impolite." Tian Yi probably did not like their presence too much, so he said something harsh.
"Okay, okay."
Tushan Divine Emperor was smiling amiably. However, they had indeed become part of the audience when they arrived at the battlefield of Gods and Devils. Around them, a great number of Divine Kings made way for them, daring not to approach them. They only dared to watch the five supreme Divine Emperors from the Burning Sun Divine Realm nervously from afar. Their hearts were filled with respect and envy.
Seeing this, the two eternal god emperors hurriedly walked over. As they were about to flatter Tushan, Tushan glanced at them and said, "I know you. Stay where you are."
The two emperors felt extremely embarrassed, but dared not to stay where they were, with their faces blushed. They prepared to say some bad things about Long Chen, but unexpectedly, Tushan Divine Emperor directly despised them.
Of course, all the Godly Kings were most concerned about the earth-shattering battle between Long Chen and Tian Yi.
Long Chen and Tian Yi stood on either side of the Darkstar Divine Emperor.
The two of them looked at each other.
Tian Yi was like the scorching sun, surging with his presence and surging with battle intent.
Long Chen was mysterious and calm, hiding his battle intent in the depths of his eyes. It seemed like Tian Yi had completely overwhelmed him, but that was not actually the case.
Seeing how both sides were prepared, the Darkstar Divine Emperor was about to announce the start of the battle, but Tian Yi raised his hand instead and said loudly in front of the several tens of thousand Godly Kings, "Long Chen, our battle today is to surpass the limits of life and death and to pursue higher realms of the Way of Gods. This is a noble battle, a battle to the death. Since we want to surpass our limits, there will definitely be life and death. Only life and death can force us to surpass our limits, so I want to place a wager with you. The wager is the most precious thing to both of us. That's right, our lives.
Let's have a battle to the death. Do you have the courage? "With that, the Godkings immediately shuddered, directly dumbfounded.
Let's have a battle to the death. Do you have the courage? "The Darkstar Divine Emperor's eyes widened, also frightened. He stared at the Tushan Divine Emperor in shock, only to see the Tushan Divine Emperor and the others frown deeply. Clearly, this was all Tian Yi's idea, and he had not told anyone about it before this, so Long Chen obviously had no idea either.
"A battle to the death." Long Chen was truly frightened.
He thought, In a battle to the death with him, either he dies, or I die. I have to kill him to survive, but he's the son of Shen Yi. If I kill him, coupled with the fact that the Tushan Divine Emperor and the others are present, I'll definitely lose my life. Even if I can escape, the Lord of the Skyrite Region will make me beg for death. She's several dozen times more terrifying than Di Jun. She's not like the Demon Mango, who no one will care even if she dies, so …
He was only fighting Tian Yi. He had no intentions of fighting to the death at all.
Tian Yi had given him a huge problem, directly forcing him to his death. However, Tian Yi's objective was very simple. He wanted to break through, so he wanted to create the harshest battle possible. It was very difficult for him to consider what would happen if Long Chen emerged victorious. That was not within the scope of his considerations.
"In a battle to the death, only the victor can break through, while the loser will die. However, this is very normal to you. Wasn't your battle with the Demon Mango also a battle to the death? You won and broke through, while the Demon Mango died. Today, what I want is a battle to the death as well. Do you have the courage?"
Tian Yi said forcefully.
All the Godkings basically suffocated. Their gazes towards Long Chen were filled with pity. If Long Chen agreed, then he would clearly die regardless of the outcome, so he could only turn it down. However, if he turned it down, he would weaken himself. With Long Chen's past pride, he would never turn it down.
At this moment, Long Chen gritted his teeth.
"Long Chen."
The Darkstar God Emperor was alarmed. He reminded Long Chen in a hurry. If Long Chen agreed, even he would not be able to save him.
"I refuse." However, he was overthinking.
Long Chen knew what he was doing. He could fight to the death against the Demon Mango, but fighting to the death against Tian Yi would be suicide.
Hearing Long Chen's resolute refusal, Tian Yi's face became extremely ugly. He said, "You've disappointed me very much. Right now, I'm doubting whether you have the right to be my opponent, whether you have the right to make me take you seriously."
With Long Chen's refusal, the Darkstar God Emperor let out a sigh of relief. At the very least, he managed to keep his life. Ever since they first met, Long Chen had been suppressed the entire time, but the Darkstar God Emperor believed he could shine in an actual battle.
Only when the Tushan God Emperor heard Long Chen's refusal did his brows ease up. He approved of Long Chen to a certain degree. They did not wish for a battle to the death either. Although they did not think Long Chen could win, they could not let Tian Yi take the risk even if there was only a sliver of a chance.
"But …"
If you want to break through your limits, you don't have to risk your life. I have an idea. You have the Sunshot Divine Bow and the Setting Sun Divine Arrow, while I have the Divine Sword and Demon Tower. They're both Chaotic Prime fortune god artifacts, the most important weapons to us. The Divine Sword and Demon Tower came from Emperor Dong Hua, who I'm grateful to. I believe the two fortune god artifacts hold extraordinary significance to you as well. Then, are you bold enough to wager the Sunshot Divine Bow and the Setting Sun Divine Arrow against me? "
This bet battle involved four kinds of Chaos Origin Grade Fortune Divine Artifacts.
It was possible to say that it had created unprecedented history on the battlefield of Divine Demons and Kings.
Hearing Long Chen's words, Tian Yi paused, then said, "The Sunshot and Setting Sun, these two fortune god artifacts are indeed the most precious gifts my father gave me. They are as important as my life. You're right, these two treasures are also as important as my life. The Divine Sword and Demon Tower are obviously more important to you. You will risk your life to protect them and achieve the effect I want. Then, it's decided."
To save his life and not weaken his momentum, so that others would look down on him, this was the only way for Long Chen.
Besides, to be honest, he was the same as Tian Yi. He also needed the determination to win. If he wager the Divine Sword and Demon Tower, then the meaning would be different. Now that he lost the Divine Sword and Demon Tower, he would lose most of his power. Of course, he did not want to lose it. That was why he would risk his life to fight. Only then would he have the possibility of surpassing his limits. At the same time, in order not to lose the Sunshot and Setting Sun, Tian Yi would also fight to the death, without giving up.
Tit for tat.
It was the most head-on clash, so there would definitely be the most exciting battle.
For a moment, the blood of all the spectators began to boil. Although the battle had yet to begin, this tit for tat was no less exciting than a real battle. The Godkings became even more eager.
To be honest, the mention of Chaotic Prime fortune god artifacts was only a way for Long Chen to resolve his wager with his life. Otherwise, Tian Yi definitely would not let it go. He did not actually want the Sunshot and Setting Sun Arrows … Although he had once used the Dragon Enslaving Bow and Dragon Enslaving Arrow, so his archery was passable.
"If that's the case, then prepare yourselves."
The Darkstar God King spoke in a timely manner, directly announcing the start of the battle to prevent them from betting on even more items.
"Back off."
Under the Darkstar God King's orders, Long Chen and Tian Yi both retreated several tens of thousand meters away, distancing themselves from the battlefield at the same time. They rushed into the clouds above the battlefield and merged with the black mist.
Everyone present was a Godking. All the Godkings gathered together, and the black mist was forced back by their divine might, allowing them to see Long Chen and Tian Yi in an extremely distant space.
"The battle begins."
The Darkstar God King announced.
Boom!
Tens of thousands of Godkings roared out. For a moment, their voices surged into the air.
"Tian Yi, Tian Yi!"
"Long Chen, Long Chen!"
This time, the majority believed Tian Yi could emerge victorious. After all, Tian Yi had the support of the Tushan God King and the others, so his presence was even fiercer. He had been suppressing Long Chen the entire time earlier.
Thump! Thump!
Thump! Before Long Chen and the others had even taken action, the Godkings' hearts began to beat violently.
The Tushan God King stared at Long Chen and suddenly said, "This young man is anything but simple. He actually possesses the power of five laws, or even more, and they're all mysterious laws. The Law of Slaughter might be ordinary, but he's cultivated it to the very apex. There's also the transcendental law of time, and there are three other laws that even I can't see through. I must say, this young man is a 'genius of laws'."
"That's startling." The other Godkings were slightly surprised.
However, the Tushan God King would not lie.
