Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 304: What Is Your Relationship with Ye Tianwen?

In the Black Abyss chessboard.

Both sides of the battle looked up at the central sculpture of the Demon Lord. The moment either side took another step forward, the sculpture would be triggered, eliminating any safe zones within the hundred-meter radius!

Zhao Huaiyi didn't hesitate and stepped forward.

The battle for the King's position began!

Ye An could see the squares occupied by Zhao Huaiyi's team and naturally observed everything happening at that moment. Qi Wuguang's ability to counter the Ghost Sovereign was a significant morale booster. He felt relieved and prepared himself for the imminent fifth round of battle.

His opponent for this round was the Underworld King. The Underworld King resembled a monster—tall and thin, with disproportionately long limbs, and his emotionless eyes reflected indifference to everything.

Ye An reviewed the Underworld King's battle footage once more. This opponent seemed less like a sentient being and more like a war machine created by the Divine Realm. He made his final preparations in the spacious training room. Although no one was around, he always felt as if he was being watched.

Nowadays, too many people were keeping an eye on him. But Lin Ying had already told him not to worry and to give it his all to win this battle!

Thus, Ye An had no idea what was happening outside. His focus was solely on the Black Abyss chessboard, his current training, and the impending match against the Underworld King.

The weapons were ready. Liu Da Hu had forged the Xuanwu Earth Armor with special runes, increasing its hardness while reducing its weight. It was no longer a patched-up piece but now had a defined armor shape.

The Four Skills Runes—Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain—floated calmly in his spiritual sea. The Supreme Fist within his body, the dreams sleeping in his mind, and the mysterious innate runes in his spiritual sea continued to absorb nutrients tirelessly.

Was there anything else to prepare?

No!

On this sunny day, Ye An stood up.

Time to set out!

He boarded the spaceship heading for the battlefield.

On the other side of the planet, the tall and thin Underworld King sat expressionlessly on his spaceship. He sat alone in the back seat, with only a driver by his side.

Before the battle, no powerful figures had come to speak with him or give him instructions. He also had no habit of watching the news. To him, today seemed like just another ordinary day, much like the past few years.

Unexpectedly, something occurred. Usually, Ye An would be the first to enter the contestant passage and stand in the arena. Today, however, the Underworld King arrived in front of everyone's sight first.

He floated in mid-air, his long black hair drifting in front of his emotionless eyes. The deafening cheers and encouragement from the Divine Realm did not stir any emotion within him. Instead, he glanced at the crowd with some impatience and said coldly, "Quiet."

Anyone who met his gaze felt their souls tremble as if the Grim Reaper were staring at them, and death's scythe might strike at any moment.

At this moment, the referee announced Ye An's entrance. However, his loud voice was drowned out by a sudden thunderclap!

"Boom!"

After the thunder, the sound of rain followed!

The Underworld King raised his head expressionlessly. The clear, sunny sky had been covered by a sudden layer of dark clouds. Thunder and rain intermingled in the air. The once-warm world had abruptly turned chilly.

A killing aura began to rise.

It was only then that the spectators inside and outside the arena realized Ye An had already entered!

They looked down and saw Ye An standing at the passage, gazing up at the Underworld King. At the same time, the Underworld King looked down at him.

Suddenly.

"Crack!"

It was as if tiny bolts of lightning had pierced the Underworld King's head. His cold, indifferent gaze suddenly focused. At the moment of eye contact with Ye An, he felt as though he had been shocked.

His slow heartbeat began to quicken. The Underworld King, surprised, lowered his head again to look at Ye An.

He... brought me this feeling?

A strange smile curled at the corner of the Underworld King's mouth, and his eyes seemed to flare with a red light from amidst his black hair.

Even before the battle began, an immense sense of pressure emanated from him.

Ye An remained calm and glanced at the referee.

The referee knew and said no more. The two were eager to begin their clash!

"Fight!"

At the instant the words were spoken, the Underworld King suddenly raised his right hand.

"Whoosh!"

A strange wind swept past Ye An's ear. At that moment, time seemed to stand still. He watched as darkness enveloped the entire arena!

The sounds of wind and rain disappeared in an instant. Ye An was left with boundless, pitch-black silence and the sound of his own heartbeat!

No!

There was also the scent of death!

This was the Underworld King's domain!

Ye An's pupils uncontrollably shook!

Everything in front of him transformed into swirling black vortices—space, soil, even his own body became distorted!

It was collapsing!

The Underworld King could collapse everything within his domain!

"War Fire!"

With a roar, golden-red flames rose from his body.

But it was useless!

His martial intent was insufficient to counter the Underworld King's power. His body continued to twist weakly.

The Supreme Fist erupted!

"Boom!"

The flames of war burst into the sky, finally withstanding the power of the Underworld King's domain.

But the next second.

"Whoosh!"

Another gust of wind swept past his ear. The world before Ye An shifted from black to white.

The world cleared.

The domain vanished!

But the threat of death surged again in Ye An's mind, even more intense, as if the world before him had turned blood-red.

Behind him, the Underworld King, clad in purple armor, had a fierce wind at the corner of his mouth. His hand, like a blade, stabbed toward Ye An's heart from behind.

The Wind Rising activated!

At that moment, the once invincible Wind Rising field began to distort and collapse as it touched the Underworld King's hand.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

A strange tearing sound echoed in Ye An's ears. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Underworld King's eyes flashing with red killing intent, like a bloody hunter watching his prey.

The next second, the Xuanwu Armor manifested on Ye An.

This armor strengthened his martial intent further and, combined with its substantial defensive power, withstood the blow!

He was thrown back, standing at a distance, his face stern as he stared at the Underworld King, who was clad in his domain armor.

Unexpectedly, the Underworld King tilted his head and rasped, "What is your relationship with Ye Tianwen?"
