Chapter 1018 – Fleeting Strike

“Big Sis Frost, are you sure you aren’t mistaken?” Hidden Soul asked in disbelief.

Everyone in the Greater G.o.d’s Domain knew about the Six Great Divine Sets. They were regarded as equipment that could let Tier 6 players fight Primordial G.o.ds of the same level.

Hidden Soul had seen the effects of the Flame G.o.d Set, the Fourth Great Divine Set. Even though s.h.i.+ Feng could only unleash half of the Flame G.o.d Set’s potential, it was enough to let him match the average Divine Set user. She dared not imagine how powerful one of the Six Great Divine Sets would be if its user could unleash 100% of its potential.

Yet, according to Red Frost, the bandaged young man from Demon’s Gate was equipped with the Blood Drinker Set, the Second Great Divine Set. If the young man could fully utilize the Blood Drinker Set’s potential, even all five of Zero Wing’s Mortal G.o.ds attacking him together wouldn’t necessarily guarantee their victory.

“I’m certain. The crimson shade hidden under those bandages resembles the Grand Library’s records perfectly,” Red Frost sighed, shaking her head.

“No wonder Demon’s Gate dares to make such a bold challenge,” Fervent Samsara said as he regrouped with Hidden Soul and Red Frost outside the ring. Then, he continued in confusion, “But didn’t the Blood Drinker Set go missing centuries ago? How did it end up in Demon’s Gate’s hands?”

The Nebula Consortium was largely the reason Demon’s Gate could run rampant in the Greater G.o.d’s Domain all this time. Although Empyreal Wraith with his Extreme Evil Set was powerful, he wouldn’t have been enough to deter the various apex powers from persecuting Demon’s Gate. Many pseudo-apex powers even dared to openly oppose Demon’s Gate.

However, had it been known that Demon’s Gate possessed the Second Great Divine Set, even the Seven Luminaries Alliance would have feared it, let alone a bunch of pseudo-apex powers.

“What should we do now?” Hidden Soul asked anxiously. “Judging by that person’s movements, he reached the sixth-floor standard long ago—and he’s Level 243. With him equipped with the Blood Drinker Set, even the Holy Race and the Crystallian race would only have a few players capable of dealing with him. As for the human race…”

While Hidden Soul and the others were feeling helpless against the bandaged young man, a deep and familiar voice suddenly echoed across the top-floor arena.

“Since you insist, I will be your opponent.”

At these words, everyone in the arena turned to where the voice came from and saw a cloaked Swordsman walking toward the ring from the entrance.

“Black Flame! He’s Black Flame!”

“He’s still alive? Didn’t he get hunted and killed by the Holy Race’s and the Crystallian race’s royal powers in the Demon G.o.d Forest?”

“He must’ve survived their pursuit. But why would he expose himself here? Is he not afraid those royal powers might come after him again?”

Many of the various powers’ experts were surprised to see s.h.i.+ Feng.

s.h.i.+ Feng’s fame had skyrocketed since the battle in the Demon G.o.d Forest. Not only did he steal the Undying Mother’s loot from several royal powers, but he had even repulsed multiple Divine Set users before escaping.

After this battle, s.h.i.+ Feng soared to second place on the Divine Glory List. Although he had quickly fallen to 11th place due to the many geniuses produced by the war among the three races, it was still a rank that most chosen ones could only dream of achieving.

…

“You’ve finally shown yourself. I thought you would remain in hiding for fear of getting targeted by the several anomalies that recently appeared among the Holy Race and Crystallian race,” Lunar River from King’s Paradise said, her lips curving into a smile as she watched s.h.i.+ Feng walking into the ring. She was seated in the VIP stand, drawn here by the confrontation between Zero Wing and Demon’s Gate. Her temperament and equipment standard had drastically changed compared to when she partic.i.p.ated in Everlasting City’s compet.i.tion. She now gave off the feeling of an unsheathed sword, intimidating those around her. “This young man from Demon’s Gate is far from ordinary. Can you last more than a few moves against him?”

“Vice Guild Leader, is that young man from Demon’s Gate really that strong?” asked Shuoyun, who was also wearing a Black Cloak to hide her information. “Guild Leader Black Flame can rival sixth-floor experts in combat standards. He even repulsed multiple Divine Set users last time. Even if that young man is equipped with the Second Great Divine Set, I doubt Guild Leader Black Flame would lose in just a few moves, right?”

“You aren’t aware of the full situation, so it’s normal for you to have such thoughts,” Lunar River said. After glancing at the bandaged young man on the ring, she continued, “If all that person has is the Second Great Divine Set, he naturally wouldn’t be able to defeat Black Flame in a few moves. However, that person isn’t some no-name expert.”

“He’s not?” At Lunar River’s words, Shuoyun couldn’t help but look at the bandaged young man in confusion. “But this person only debuted during the battle between Demon’s Gate and the Thunder Empire. Before that, there was never any information about him in Demon’s Gate.”

“Of course, there isn’t any information on him in our Greater G.o.d’s Domain,” Lunar River said nonchalantly. “But he is very famous in the Hundred Race Battlefield. He is the Hundred Race Ranking List’s 421st-ranked Soul Hunter. In the current Eternal Realm, only those anomalies from the Holy Race and the Crystallian race are superior to him in overall strength. As for everyone else, if we compare solely in combat standards, Ink Crystal might be able to match him.”

Shuoyun gaped at Lunar River’s evaluation, staring at the bandaged young man in disbelief.

Ink Crystal was known by all in the current Eternal Realm. She was publicly acknowledged as the Crystallian race’s number one chosen one. Although it had been a while since anyone last saw her, she had never fallen out of the Eternal Chosen One Ranking List’s top ten. She was not an existence brand-new sixth-floor experts could hope to match.

…

In addition to Lunar River and Shuoyun, many other spectators in the VIP stands focused on the bandaged young man.

“Elder Martial, is it impossible for Guild Leader Black Flame to win?” Verdant Rainbow asked the white-haired old man beside her in confusion.

“If that young man didn’t have the Second Great Divine Set, Guild Leader Black Flame might have had a chance. But now? Impossible. You can’t even put them in the same league,” Elder Martial said firmly, stroking his beard. “Nebula is extremely invested this time. Be it Black Flame or Zero Wing, I suggest you advise them not to stick their heads out during this period.”

Verdant Rainbow sighed helplessly at Elder Martial’s words. Originally, after witnessing s.h.i.+ Feng’s performance in the Demon G.o.d Forest, she thought Zero Wing could suppress Demon’s Gate and trade blows with the Nebula Consortium. However, she was recently granted access to information she had never been privy to, which made her realize that their world had far more secrets than she had imagined.

…

Inside the ring, s.h.i.+ Feng stood facing the bandaged young man.

“Elise told me some time ago she thinks you may eventually grow to match her. Although I disagree with that sentiment, I can give you a chance,” the bandaged young man said, his crimson eyes sizing up s.h.i.+ Feng contemptuously. “I will let you make the first three moves, and I will receive them with only one hand. If you can damage me, you win!”

However, before the bandaged young man could say anything else, s.h.i.+ Feng casually unsheathed the Shadow Incinerator and swung it at him.

G.o.ddess-ranked Mana Technique, Dark Moon!

Subsequently, what happened next took place in the blink of an eye.

For a mere instant, a black flash lit up the entire arena. When the flash of light disappeared, the bandaged young man had just finished raising his dagger and entering a defensive stance. Immediately afterward, his vision turned gray, and he collapsed lifelessly to the ground.

Before anyone could react, the winner of the duel was displayed above the ring.

Winner: Black Flame!
