The terrifying heat caused the air within the arena's barrier to twist and warp.
They could clearly see that the superalloy floor was beginning to melt.
This superalloy was specifically designed to withstand attacks from a peak ninth-rank powerhouse. Although it couldn't completely block attacks, it was tough, flexible, and had the ability to repair itself.
The fact that it had melted so quickly showed just how terrifying the might of Thousand Transformations' attack was.
The beam of orange light lasted for a full four or five seconds before fading away.
Qian Bian's body flickered, returning to his human form.
However, at this moment, he was shocked to see a palm-sized puppet floating in mid-air at the place where the orange beam of light had struck previously.
The doll was black, and with a "pa" sound, it broke into pieces.
In the next instant, a black figure appeared.
As if it had just emerged, it assumed Jiang Yuan's appearance.
"Doppelganger!"
The Terminator said in surprise. He turned his head to look at Lucifer, who was sitting behind him. "Not bad at all!
Dark sorcerers actually managed to come up with something like this. It looks like they've improved a lot. "
Lucifer smiled, unfazed by the compliment. "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
Of course, Qian Bian was the most shocked of all. When he saw his supercharged attack land on his opponent, he'd thought he'd be the victor.
He'd even thought the Terminator would end the fight.
He was all too aware of the power of a supercharged attack. Even a peak ninth-rank powerhouse couldn't compare to it in terms of explosive power.
He'd paid a hefty price to complete the attack in such a short amount of time.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan acted as if nothing had happened and used a special method to block his attack.
Jiang Yuan pointed his staff forward. Instantly, dozens of skeletal hands emerged from the ground, grabbing at Qian Bian.
Not only that, but runes began to fly out from Jiang Yuan's direction.
Doppelganger's ability surprised even the Terminator. It was obvious how useful it was.
To a Dark Mage, the Substitute Puppet spell was equivalent to another life. What was even more useful was that because of the Substitute Puppet's effect, a Dark Mage could continue chanting an incantation.
In other words, not only could the puppet block attacks, but it could also help him complete the long incantation.
Qian Bian's hands once again transformed into Vulcan cannons, shattering the skeletal hands beneath his feet.
Just now, he had paid a huge price for his attack to miss. He knew that today's match would be over for him. He had originally planned to take advantage of the fact that Jiang Yuan didn't know much about him and use his strongest attack to finish off his opponent, not giving her a chance to react.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan's ability was even stranger than he had imagined.
But even so, he couldn't admit defeat just like that. He had to fight to the end.
With a shake of his body, his body suddenly accelerated and shot into the sky.
In mid-air, it actually transformed into a small fighter jet.
The silver-white fuselage shone brightly, and the streamlined fuselage was even more dazzling.
However, at this moment, a deep roar was suddenly heard without any warning.
The runes that seemed to be floating towards him all fell to the ground.
The super-alloy ground suddenly changed. The silver-white ground had already melted a lot, but at this moment, it seemed to suddenly become flat. A purplish black halo made the ground smooth, and a huge bright purple hexagram appeared.
In the deep light, the hexagram continued to spin, turning into a large purple light. The purple in the center gradually turned black. In just a breath's time, it looked like a deep purplish black cave.
That was where the deep roar came from.
The corners of Jiang Yuan's mouth curled into a faint smile, as if he was very pleased.
Then he looked up at Qian Bian who had turned into a plane and shook a finger at him.
Although Qian Bian didn't know what was about to appear, he also felt the danger. At this time, all he could do was attack with all his might.
Strong light flashed, and he swooped down towards Jiang Yuan in his plane form. His cannons were all fired, and powerful missiles were all slanted towards Jiang Yuan.
No matter what kind of dark spell he had just completed, as long as he could defeat him, the problem would be solved.
But at this moment, a huge white object suddenly rushed out of the purplish-black vortex on the ground.
The Terminator stood up from his seat, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The large white object instantly filled the entire arena, swallowing up all of Qian Bian's attacks.
Even more frightening was the fact that even he himself felt like he was being swallowed up.
But at this moment, a tall figure appeared in the arena out of thin air. With a wave of his hand, he forcefully pulled Qian Bian back, and in a flash, he appeared outside the arena.
Qian Bian didn't even know what was going on before he was pulled out. He was also confused.
But when he turned his eyes back to the arena, he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
It was an incomparably large head. He couldn't tell what kind of creature it was, but it looked like the head of a giant lizard. This head was made entirely of white bones, and its eye sockets pulsed with a cold, dark green flame.
Just now, this was the head that had rushed out of the purplish black vortex, and opened its mouth wide to devour Qian Bian.
If the Terminator had been any slower, Qian Bian would have been swallowed whole.
As for what would have happened, Qian Bian didn't want to know.
"Many thanks for saving my life, Your Majesty!" Qian Bian felt a chill run down his spine.
What a close shave!
The Terminator didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he stared coldly at Jiang Yuan in the corner of the arena. "You dare summon the Evil Dragon Yaduobaha?
You've got some guts! "
Jiang Yuan's face was pale, and he muttered an incantation under his breath. One after another, runes flew out of his body and landed on the giant head.
The giant head slowly turned to face Jiang Yuan, and its mouth opened wide once more. It looked like it was about to swallow Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan's expression changed. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, he quickly took out a small white skull from his bosom. This skull was exactly the same as the giant skull in front of him.
The blood he spat out landed on the little skull. Immediately, a layer of blood-red light shot out from the skull and quickly turned deep purple.
Two dark green flames sprang to life in the skull's eye sockets.
The huge skull seemed to have sensed something. It was stunned for a moment before it slowly closed its mouth.
At the same time, they turned into specks of white light and rushed towards the Little Skull.
Jiang Yuan's entire body was covered in white light, and he looked like he had turned into a scorching white.
The dark purple light on the ground began to close in on itself.
The disintegrating skull was separated from the rest of the world.
The Terminator's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded slowly. "So it was only Yaduobaha's projection. But you've got some guts to seal the dragon's projection!
With someone like you in the Dark Citadel, Satan has a successor. "
With that said, the Terminator flung Qian Bian out of the arena and returned to the VIP platform.
In the waiting area, Lan Jue watched the scene unfold in front of him. Clearly, Jiang Yuan's absorption was going to take some time.
"Sister, why do I get the feeling he's doing this to deal with you?" Lan Jue asked the Pharmacist.
The Pharmacist nodded slowly. "I didn't understand what he was trying to do at first. He's strong enough to deal with Qian Bian, but he chose such a lengthy incantation.
It seems he didn't just do it for this tournament.
He even used a puppet to increase the time it took him to complete the incantation.
In the end, he completed the incantation.
It must be a powerful incantation passed down from ancient times in the Western Alliance. Or perhaps it's a powerful summoning ritual. It's very difficult to complete.
He had done it under pressure, and he had even made preparations beforehand, so he was able to retain a portion of this power.
You're right, I'm afraid he's going to use it against me.
Yaduobaha?
What's that?
Just a worm. "
Lan Jue couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the Pharmacist's disdainful expression. She was a true heroine!
Jiang Yuan's absorption took a full ten minutes. When the last of the white light entered his body, he returned to normal.
A tinge of purple appeared on his face, and his eyes became especially bright.
However, at a glance, he seemed to have aged a few years. Even the corners of his eyes had some wrinkles.
It was clear that completing the strange ritual had not been easy for him.
The second group came to an end. The victors were the Pharmacist and the Dark Magus, Jiang Yuan.
The two groups of matches ended, and the scenes of each match were completely different. It could even be said that each match was more shocking than the last.
The Pharmacist's instant victory and the Dark Magus' powerful summoning had left a deep impression on the audience.
Everyone knew that if everything went as planned, the winner of this group would be decided between the two of them.
The second group was over, and Lan Jue's attention was even more focused than before. The third group was the one the Accountant had told him would be the group of death, and the Driver was in that group as well.
The third group consisted of Yan Ningya, the Driver, Cao Shuiqin, and Jun Yongye.
