Chapter 1041

Calling Earth Monarch Tegu a “hybrid” wasn’t meant as an insult; it simply described the mix of various bloodlines within him, making him not purely of the Evil Spirit Race.

By merging the strengths of multiple races, he significantly reduced his limitations, retaining the best bloodline traits for optimal power.

“Earth Monarch Tianyun, you slander me, and I’ll make you pay!” Earth Monarch Tegu’s eyes filled with killing intent as he growled, “Thousand Blood Judgment!”

In the next moment, his whip was replaced by a long sword. The whip’s explosive power was inferior to that of the sword, allowing him to unleash all his inner strength. The gathered bloodline power converged in his sword, a top-grade reincarnation weapon now resonating with a dazzling white light due to the immense star power infused into it.

Clearly, Earth Monarch Tegu was going all out, aiming to kill Yi Tianyun with his full strength.

The crowd’s eyes lit up; this was the first time they had seen Earth Monarch Tegu unleash his full power, appearing unstoppable.

“Pay the price?” Yi Tianyun showed no fear in the face of Earth Monarch Tegu’s power surge.

To him, it was like dealing with Earth Monarch Motong–accumulating other bloodlines and thinking it made one invincible. True invincibility only came from excelling in a particular area.

And Earth Monarch Tegu’s power, as impressive as it seemed, was merely average.

The colossal shadows of dragons, phoenixes, and eagles emerged behind Earth Monarch Tegu, descending upon Yi Tianyun. It felt as if the entire world was filled with this overwhelming power, leaving Yi Tianyun nowhere to escape.

However, Yi Tianyun had no intention of escaping. Gripping the Tianchen Divine Spear, he transformed into a demon god, unleashing both his Dragon God Bloodline and Phoenix Bloodline. His Primordial Armor radiated brilliant yellow light, preparing for the upcoming battle.

“Sky Tyrant Art – Dominating Clouds!”

He unleashed the third move of the Sky Tyrant Art. The Sky Tyrant Art only had three moves, and he had yet to master the latter ones, so he could only use the first three.

Even so, the first three moves were already formidable. As he performed Dominating Clouds, the Tianchen Divine Spear projected a fierce shadow, the image of the Sky Tyrant Art’s creator.

“That’s the Sky Ancestor!”

The Lord of Heavenly Oracle and others were thrilled, recognizing the move. They knew it as the strongest martial art of the Heavenly Oracle Divine Realm, but no contestant had ever successfully performed it.

The Sky Tyrant Art was notoriously difficult to master, and now, seeing Yi Tianyun use even the third move was extraordinary.

The grand shadow of the Sky Ancestor alone suppressed all the shadows Earth Monarch Tegu had summoned. Just one was enough–there was no need for more.

“Buzz!”

The Tianchen Divine Spear in Yi Tianyun’s hand trembled, freezing time and space around him, making everything slow down.

This move multiplied his damage fivefold. If he mastered the later moves, the effect would be even more terrifying.

If it were a Heavenly Dao-level martial art, the thought alone was daunting.

Combined with the Primordial Armor’s fivefold increase and critical hit effect, his power reached a violent fifteenfold!

No need for any crazy damage modes; his power was already at a new level. He believed he could match any genius without using crazy modes.

His foundation alone was enough to contend with any genius!

“Boom!”

The two forces collided, creating a massive energy explosion. Waves of energy rippled outward, echoing with loud sounds.

The audience couldn’t see what was happening inside the explosion, but the five elders could. The formations they set up allowed them to see clearly despite the visual obstruction.

Moments later, the explosion dissipated, revealing Yi Tianyun with his spear piercing through Earth Monarch Tegu’s chest, lifting him into the air. Yi Tianyun was unharmed.

Earth Monarch Tegu’s sword lay discarded, embedded in the ground.

“This is your strength?” Yi Tianyun’s gaze was icy as he held Earth Monarch Tegu aloft.

“Ugh…”

Earth Monarch Tegu coughed up blood, his eyes filled with rage and helplessness. He had expended enormous energy, and his resistance was far from what it had been.

“I know you have more violent power you haven’t used. Why not show us?” Yi Tianyun smirked.

“I… I surrender. This is all my strength…” Earth Monarch Tegu’s face twisted, his eyes full of hatred, but he chose not to reveal his true form.

If he did, everything would be over. Surrendering was the safer option.

“Is that so? Let me stimulate you a bit.” Yi Tianyun’s spear surged with power, sending waves of energy into Earth Monarch Tegu’s body, pushing him to his limits.

Everyone has a defense mechanism that triggers under threat, but since Yi Tianyun hadn’t pushed him to the brink of death, Earth Monarch Tegu hadn’t fully unleashed his power.

Feeling the pressure, Earth Monarch Tegu angrily tried to escape, but Yi Tianyun’s grip was firm.

“Do you think you can escape?” Yi Tianyun slammed Earth Monarch Tegu to the ground, sending surges of power into him.

The audience didn’t understand Yi Tianyun’s intentions; Earth Monarch Tegu had already surrendered. Although the rules stated that a contestant had to leave the arena to be out, this seemed excessively cruel.

However, as Yi Tianyun continued, Earth Monarch Tegu let out a low growl. Twelve arms suddenly sprouted from his back, launching a fierce attack on Yi Tianyun!

Yi Tianyun abandoned his spear, dodging the assault.

The entire arena fell silent, stunned by what they saw.
