Chapter 385: Chapter 386: Whose Peak?
In the sky, a giant beast born from the fusion of four True Spirits roared.
Heaven and Earth were sealed, instantly imprisoning the eighteen Demons. The sealing power also surged toward Wudao.
"With the Power of the Four Symbols, Heaven and Earth are sealed. Nothing can escape! The eighteen Demons have been suppressed. Wudao, you have lost! Only I am worthy of the glory at the Peak."
The giant beast looked down upon Wudao as if declaring the final outcome. It dove, shattering the void as it charged toward the imprisoned Wudao.
"A seal on Heaven and Earth may imprison the world, but a True Demon is supreme, capable of overturning everything. Not even a cage forged from the world itself can contain it. How could you possibly imprison me? Break!"
Wudao let out a cold shout. His body trembled as if a True Demon were reawakening, and a tyrannical power rippled out, shattering the seal that bound him.
BOOM!
Wudao strode out of the void, and a boundless Demonic Light once again illuminated the world.
"The Demons fall, the Demon King rises, the Demon King shall rule the world!" Demonic Light shot from Wudao’s cold eyes, piercing the sealed space and entering the bodies of the eighteen Demons.
BOOM!
The eighteen Demons’ eyes snapped open, and the very world trembled.
"A True Demon is just like any other living thing! This seal imprisons all spirits, and a True Demon is no exception!" Beize Yunzhuo roared, charging through the air. The world was sealed layer by layer as the giant beast’s massive feet, like Ancient Mountains, crushed the Demons one after another.
The eighteen Demons were continuously being destroyed, but many had already begun to revive, radiating a powerful Demon Dao aura.
"KILL! KILL! KILL!"
The giant beast stomped relentlessly through the void, its steps so powerful they shattered the sealed world itself. Beize Yunzhuo knew that if he couldn’t annihilate all eighteen Demons, Wudao would still have a chance to turn the tables.
CRACK! Within the world-seal, one Demon revived. It broke free from its bonds, shattered the seal, and shot into the Firmament. The other seventeen were annihilated!
"ROAR!" The giant beast bellowed, charging into the Firmament to crush the final Demon, vowing to obliterate it and cut off Wudao’s last resort.
"You’re out of chances. This battle ends now!" Wreathed in endless Demon Qi, Wudao transformed into a ball of Demonic Light and merged with the Demon.
BOOM!
The Demon fell, and the Demon King was born. Its Demon Power was vast. The being in the sky had transformed. With three eyes and eight arms, it resembled an Eight-Armed Demon King from Ancient Times as it stared coldly at the giant beast.
"KILL!" With the Demon King’s rage, a terrifying, blood-colored longsword materialized in the air. It cleaved through the world as it slashed down toward the giant beast.
The Demon was going to slay a God!
"BREAK! BREAK!" The giant beast that was Beize Yunzhuo roared furiously, spitting a beam of Divine Light at the Heaven-Slaying Blood Sword. The void erupted in continuous explosions as raw energy ran rampant.
Wudao’s Demon King form pressed down from the sky, a torrent of Demon Dao Power surging downward. The void shattered like glass, layer by layer, whipping up a spatial storm that crashed down and relentlessly bombarded the giant beast’s body.
"KILL! KILL! KILL!" A torrent of roars poured ceaselessly from the giant beast’s mouth. Terrifying waves of power surged from Beize Yunzhuo’s body, empowering the giant beast. He was holding nothing back.
The giant beast’s body swelled, and it shot toward the heavens, ramming into the Demon King’s form. With a deafening boom, the two collided, sending out endless shockwaves of light.
CRACK!
In that instant, a cracking sound echoed across the world. Before the crowd’s eyes, the giant beast’s body disintegrated, and the Demon King’s form crumbled along with it.
RUMBLE...
Both of their figures were swallowed by the blast, completely obscured from view. Only the Barbarian God Battle Platform remained standing as the very world seethed around it.
BOOM!
A figure shot out from the explosion and slammed into the ground, crashing down with a maelstrom of tempests. The impact made the entire Barbarian God Battle Platform tremble. The indestructible Battle Platform, which not even Saint Sages or Great Powers could shake, now seemed on the verge of collapse.
After a long, long time, the tempests finally dissipated. When a figure was revealed, the crowd stared, utterly stunned.
It was Beize Yunzhuo. He had lost!
The champion of the Barbarian God Battle Platform, the Strongest Warrior, was Wudao. He had won the final match!
Beize Yunzhuo was half-crouched on the ground, his clothes tattered and his hair disheveled. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his aura fluctuated wildly. Gouts of blood welled up in his throat, but he forced himself to swallow them back down.
His eyes were fixed coldly on Wudao, who stood hovering in the air. He had never imagined he would lose like this, defeated at his most glorious moment. Instead of Wudao becoming his stepping stone, he had become Wudao’s, securing his path to victory.
’I can’t accept this... I can’t accept this...’
Beize Yunzhuo wanted to fight on, but his internal organs felt as if they had been shattered. If he continued to fight, only death awaited him.
"You became the stepping stone. The Peak belongs to me!" Wudao declared, looking down on Beize Yunzhuo from the sky like a peerless Demon King. The glory of the Peak was his, and he had proven it with his immense strength.
"Wudao, I will remember the humiliation of this day," Beize Yunzhuo stated coldly. "I will defeat you and wash this shame away." He turned to leave. For the loser, there was nothing to do but walk away.
Although he had taken second place, which was still an honor, to him, it was a disgrace compared to first. It was the ultimate humiliation.
Returning to his original spot, Beize Yunzhuo sat cross-legged and began to recover his strength. The final blow had caused him considerable harm.
’Defeat me? You won’t get the chance.’ Wudao thought. He descended from the sky and sat cross-legged in his own spot. The final blow had injured him as well.
And so, a world-shaking battle came to an end.
The crowd let out a collective sigh. The battle had been utterly shocking. The strength displayed by both Beize Yunzhuo and Wudao had shaken them to their core, making them finally understand the gap between themselves and true geniuses.
Beize Yunzhuo was powerful, but Wudao was even more so. They were like two insurmountable mountains, and no one else could even hope to compete with them.
Many so-called geniuses felt ashamed of their inadequacy. Even some of the old masters at the Yin Yang Realm sighed, lamenting that their time had passed.
Therefore, no one objected to Wudao taking first place. With Beize Yunzhuo ranked second, the crowd could only feel a sense of pity for him. The final rankings were set.
As for the rest, Ye Wushuang was third, Dii Qingxue was fourth, and Liuu Tianlan was fifth.
Now, all that remained were the duels for the lower ranks.
The giant elder descended from the sky. He glanced at Beize Yunzhuo and Wudao before starting to arrange the subsequent matches.
Of the top three fighters, Beize Yunzhuo and Wudao had already fought. This meant Ye Wushuang received a bye for the next round. Therefore, the giant elder first arranged for the contestants in the lower ranks to finish their battles.
As for Wudao and Beize Yunzhuo, they each took out Treasure Pills and began to heal, using the time while the others fought to recover their strength.
For the crowd, the world-shaking battle for the top spot was over. The climax had passed, and the upcoming matches held little interest for them.
However, they waited patiently. This year’s champion was the Strongest Warrior, and the Strongest Warrior would receive the most glorious prize of all: the Barbarian God’s Blessing!
The crowd was filled with anticipation for the Barbarian God’s Blessing. They were all eager to see what it truly was.
