For aristocratic families based on clans and tribes, the most cherished value was the prosperity of the family. In their fundamental beliefs, individuals and the family were inextricably intertwined. So, starting from Huang Jihuang, killing one person would bring out the whole hive.And if that hive couldn’t deal with Tianming, they would inevitably want to deal with the lineage behind him to make him pay the price.
This kind of confrontation was never just between two people. A small spark could ignite a big fire. Therefore, Tianming would never naively think that he could survive just by backing down. On the contrary, after killing Huang Jihuang, the more he backed down, the more likely it was that he would die!
From the beginning, he had never bowed to the prospective eminent, the Little Lion King. Instead, he was even more confrontational. The fiery exchange of words made many elders speechless. It was the first time Tianming had let Myriadpath Valley know what kind of person he was in a crowded place.
“Tianming!” Huang Daosheng roared. However, he could only watch as Tianming and the 2.8-meter tall Huang Jiaoyang landed on the white Fortuna Arena.
The arena was then completely sealed off and the duel was established!
“A black ring disciple under a hundred years old, with a red-black combination? If that name can make it onto the Fortuna Rankings, it’ll break the history of Myriadpath Valley!”
“Yes!”
“Come and take a look, it’s interesting!”
The confrontation between two eighth-level cosmic cartographers would normally not have attracted much attention. However, after all the commotion outside, coupled with Tianming’s special status, many people quickly gathered around the battlefield.
The more than five hundred gold ring disciples even surrounded the Fortuna Arena. Once the battle ended, it might also be an opportunity to take down Tianming if they suddenly launched a wave of attacks.
Tianming didn’t dare to make friends, so it was obvious that, among the thousands of onlookers—except for a few black ring disciples that were somewhat passionate—no one hoped for him to win!
There were two ways to win on the Fortuna Arena. Victory or killing! There was no option to surrender. Myriadpath Valley didn’t allow it. If one wanted to surrender, being defeated would be sufficient. However, being defeated also carried the risk of being killed.
In the challenge of the Fortuna Ranking, killing wasn’t held accountable. In other words, it only depended on whether they could withstand the retaliation from the opponent’s clan.
Both defeating and killing had the same effect, which was obtaining the opponent’s rank. Being defeated meant dropping one rank, while being killed obviously meant being kicked out of the rankings.
Normally, it was obviously unnecessary to kill and make enemies, unless the opponent was a black ring disciple without roots or there were grievances.
Tianming and Huang Jiaoyang clearly had grievances, and Tianming had even killed her brother and many other gold ring disciples. Today, he was once again staking his life, which was a very risky move.
“It’s going to be exciting.”
“This brat’s temper is really fiery. He makes me want to kill him. He really doesn’t know the rules. If all the black ring disciples act like him in the future, won’t Myriadpath Valley be in chaos?”
“You’re overthinking it. For someone like him, whoever follows his example will die. He’s definitely a negative example that won’t live long. After he dies, the black ring disciples will only be more obedient.”
“Besides, whose ancestor doesn’t come from a black ring background? Don’t look down on black rings too much. It’s just a matter of coming early or late.”
“That’s right. And this kid has quite a hot temper. I quite like his boldness.”
“Isn’t your dad from a black ring background?”
“Yes.”
“Your mom’s a gold ring, your dad’s a black ring… that shows your dad’s real ability.”
“Of course. Female gold ring disciples are scarce, and even male gold ring disciples might not be able to marry one.”
Although there were more men than women in Myriadpath Valley, most of the black ring disciples who came in with each generation’s Skyward Path experience were women. To put it bluntly, many were like Ji Qianqian who found a gold ring disciple to protect them as soon as they entered. Male mundi geniuses like Li Fan would face a difficulty ten times higher than female geniuses in order to enter Myriadpath Valley. He had gotten enough points all due to luck in picking up scraps.
While people were chatting, the battle had already begun in the attention-grabbing Fortuna Arena.
Huang Jiaoyang was a beast-type skyghoul and displayed the same techniques as Huang Jihuang. Although there was a bit of difference between men and women, when she transformed into her specter body, she still looked quite fierce. She had three eyes and five irises, with the middle vertical eye having three scarlet irises.
Her face, scales, and fur all transformed. From a leopard-patterned beauty, she turned into a bipedal leopard specter, complete with a bloody scent and murderous aura. Her claws, fangs, and robust body were indeed comparable to cosmic artifacts and were even more ferocious than many lifebound beasts.
Eight cosmic charts were behind her, producing a powerful flame order that swept toward Tianming, who didn’t exhibit his cosmic charts.
He narrowed his eyes as various powers flowed on his body. His Grand-Orient Sword gathered his decapath era godswords and cosmic impulses, displaying a majestic aura as he charged forward!
With his right hand holding the Grand-Orient Sword, he flicked his other hand and threw out a Skyscorch Wrathlotus. The Skyscorch Wrathlotus detonated, immediately engulfing the whole battlefield with infernal flames.
Tianming simultaneously executed the Fiveway Blitzrun. It wasn’t just used for escaping, but also provided unpredictability in the midst of battle, making Huang Jiaoyang feel like there were enemies everywhere around her.
Huang Jiaoyang also had top-tier divine abilities. Relying on her powerful strength, she managed to withstand the explosion of the Skyscorch Wrathlotus; however, she was still blasted away.
“Huh?!” She attacked behind her, only to find there was no one behind her and her power ripped through empty space.
“Here!” Huang Jiaoyang roared, her movements fierce. Her claws were as fast as flames, blocking Tianming’s sword.
“Not bad at all!” Tianming sneered. Without waiting for her to resist, his grand lexicon wonder instantly suppressed her. Nine hundred and ninety-nine characters flowed around her, forming a cage.
“Break!” Huang Jiaoyang’s cosmoforce was much stronger than Tianming’s. So even though his infinitum-class wonder bound her, it was for but a moment before it burst open.
However, Tianming simply had too many methods. He appeared behind her with eight dragons wrapping around his Lan Huang leg as he used the Eightruin Dragonshield. His leg lashed out at Huang Jiaoyang’s buttocks. The divine ability and Lan Huang’s powerful body formed a lethal combination.
Huang Jiaoyang screamed in pain, falling like a meteor and crashing onto the Fortuna Arena. Since the arena was part of the Fortuna Pillar, it naturally wouldn’t break. So instead, what gave way was the front half of Huang Jiaoyang’s body, which turned into a bloody splatter.
