The moment the tyrant retreated, the entire revenge arena fell into a brief silence.

Black blood seeped from the scorch marks on its chest, dripping onto the shattered stone slabs with a sizzling, corrosive sound. It lowered its head, staring at the lightning-scorched wounds on its body, its crimson eyes blazing with unbelievable fury.

It couldn't believe it.

Having devoured two monarch-level corpses and inherited their power, he descended as a level 32 Gold Monarch, only to be defeated in the first clash.

The human opposite him was definitely a lower level than himself.

"Human..." The tyrant raised his head, his voice deep and rumbling like thunder, "You have thoroughly enraged me."

The moment the words left its mouth, it moved.

This time, it's not a test.

The tyrant slammed its feet into the ground, its massive 3.5-meter body transforming into a dark red cannonball, instantly covering a distance of tens of meters. Its speed was extreme, leaving a dark red afterimage in the air. Its claws tore through the air with a piercing shriek, heading straight for Shen Xi's face!

Shen Xi's eyes sharpened.

He did not back down.

With his Storm Boots slamming into the ground, he launched himself forward, charging straight at the Tyrant's claws!

"clang!!!"

The Pangu Axe clashed with the claws, sparks flying. The immense impact sent both of them flying backward; Shen Xi slid several meters, and the Tyrant also staggered back two steps.

But the tyrant did not stop.

Its right foot stomped the ground violently, a death stomp!

"boom!"

The arena trembled again, sending debris flying. But Shen Xi was no longer in the same spot. He leaped up the instant the Tyrant raised his foot, the Storm Boots' air-stepping effect propelling him several meters higher. At the same time, the Primordial Bead in his left hand lit up, and a lightning barrier condensed around the Tyrant!

A circular wall of purple lightning formed, trapping the tyrant within. The tyrant reached out and touched the lightning wall; the lightning instantly exploded, sending a shiver through its body. It let out an angry roar and slammed its right fist into the ground!

"boom!!!"

The entire arena trembled. Shockwaves carrying debris spread outwards, and the lightning barrier flickered violently under the impact of the shockwaves, but it did not shatter.

Shen Xi flipped in the air and landed steadily.

He gave the tyrant no chance to breathe.

Bloodthirsty Thrust, activate!

His body shot out like a cannonball, and the Pangu Axe drew a dark golden arc in the air, heading straight for the tyrant's neck!

The tyrant sidestepped, his sharp claws sweeping across!

"clang!"

The axe blade and claws clashed again, sparks flying. Shen Xi was jolted back, but a deep crack was also left on the tyrant's claws, from which black blood seeped.

The tyrant looked down at his injured claws, a look of seriousness flashing in his crimson eyes.

This human's combat skills are no less than itss.

Every strike was aimed at a vital point, every change of move was perfectly timed, as if he had experienced countless life-and-death battles. That kind of combat instinct was not something that could be built up by level and attributes, but rather forged in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The tyrant took a deep breath, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a cold killing intent.

It is no longer retained.

The Monarch's Hand!

An invisible giant hand reached out from the void, grabbing at Shen Xi's body. Shen Xi was prepared; the X-ray vision of his Eye of Truth allowed him to see the trajectory of the giant hand. He rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding it.

The tyrant's claws followed closely behind!

Shen Xi raised his axe to block, but was knocked back several steps. Before he could regain his footing, the tyrant's next attack was already upon him—the army of rotting corpses!

A crimson light exploded from the tyrant's body, the ground began to crack, and countless rotting hands reached out from the fissures. Twenty level 20 elite corpses crawled out of the ground, wearing tattered armor, wielding rusted weapons, their murky eyes all locking onto Shen Xi.

They roared and pounced.

Shen Xi's eyes turned cold.

The Primordial Pearl in his left hand lit up, and chains of lightning shot out! Purple arcs of electricity leaped through the horde of corpses, turning the first elite corpse into charred remains. The arcs then leaped to the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth—five elite corpses instantly collapsed.

But there are still fifteen left.

Instead of retreating, Shen Xi advanced, sweeping his Pangu Axe horizontally with his right hand. A dark golden arc of light exploded, and the heads of three elite zombies flew off simultaneously. He activated the Death Whirlwind, his body entering a high-speed spin, the Pangu Axe drawing five deathly arcs in the air—the first arc severing the waists of four zombies. The second arc split open the chests of three zombies. The third arc decapitated five zombies. The fourth arc cleaved the last three zombies in half at the waist. The fifth arc felled the remaining ones.

Fifteen elite corpses were all wiped out.

From summoning to total annihilation, it took only ten seconds.

The tyrant's pupils contracted slightly.

But it didn't stop.

Tyrant's Domain, unfold!

A dark red light exploded from the Tyrant, instantly enveloping an area with a radius of fifty meters. Within the domain, the air became viscous, and Shen Xi felt her body sink, all her attributes instantly decreasing by 30%, and she suffered true damage equal to 3% of her maximum health per second.

A jet-black, chaotic light erupted from the Primordial Pearl, instantly enveloping a radius of thirty meters. The two domains collided in mid-air, dark red and pitch black intertwining, and the invisible shockwaves made the entire arena tremble.

The suppressive effect of the Tyrant Domain was largely neutralized by the Chaos Domain.

But the tyrant gave him no chance to catch his breath.

Tyrant's Wrath, unleash!

A burst of dark golden light erupted from the tyrant, its eyes instantly turning dark gold, and its aura surged. All attributes +100%!

The power level surged from 243 points to 486 points!

The physique points surged from 248 to 496!

Agility surged from 190 points to 380 points!

The spirit level surged from 177 points to 354 points!

The tyrant's body swelled again, and from three and a half meters to four meters tall, dense golden runes appeared on its dark red bone armor. It stood there like an unshakeable mountain, its oppressive aura causing the entire arena to groan.

Below the stage, Lord Wu'an's expression completely changed.

"What...what kind of monster is this...?"

Liu Qing collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, unable to utter a single word.

Su Muqing's staff slipped from her hand and hit the ground with a crisp sound.

Inside Kyoto, over 100,000 players stared at their screens in complete silence.

No one dared to speak.

The oppressive feeling, so strong it could be suffocating even through the screen, filled everyone with despair.

But on the arena, Shen Xi looked at the tyrant and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"All attributes +100%?" he murmured. "Coincidentally, I have that too."

Bloodlust Berserk, activated!

A golden-red light exploded from Shen Xi's body, his eyes instantly turning scarlet, his muscles bulging, and veins popping out. All attributes +80%, attack speed and movement speed +50%!

With 164 base strength points, plus an 80% bonus from Bloodlust Berserk, and various other buffs, the actual strength exceeds 350 points!

With 164 base Spirit points, plus the 100% bonus from the Chaos class, and the 80% bonus from Bloodlust Berserk, the actual Spirit points exceed 550!

With 164 base Agility, plus an 80% bonus from Bloodlust Berserk, and various other buffs, the actual Agility exceeds 400!

With a base constitution of 164 points, plus the 100% bonus from the Open Heaven profession, the 80% bonus from Bloodlust Berserk, and various other bonuses, the actual constitution exceeds 600 points!

Shen Xi's body also underwent changes. Although he did not swell up like the tyrant, the aura he exuded was in no way inferior to the tyrant's, and even showed signs of being suppressed.

A man and a corpse stood on opposite sides of the arena, staring at each other.

Two terrifying forces collided violently on the arena. The air distorted, the ground cracked, and rubble was lifted up by an invisible force, suspended in mid-air.

The tyrant has made his move!

Its speed was extremely fast. Its massive four-meter-tall body was like a dark golden lightning bolt, instantly covering a distance of tens of meters. Its sharp claws tore through the air and headed straight for Shen Xi's heart!

Shen Xi did not dodge.

He charged head-on at the tyrant's claws!

Pangu's axe clashed with sharp claws!

"clang!!!"

The clang of metal rang out, sparks flying. The immense impact forced both of them back; Shen Xi slid several meters, while the Tyrant staggered back two steps. This time, Shen Xi's strength was slightly inferior.

The tyrant's pupils contracted slightly.

It couldn't believe that this human could actually rival it, which had 100% more power in all attributes.

But Shen Xi didn't give it time to think.

Death Cyclone, activate!

His body entered a state of high-speed rotation, and the Pangu Axe drew five deadly arcs in the air! The Tyrant raised his arm to block, and the axe blade collided with the bone armor, sparks flying everywhere!

On the first lap, a deep crack was left on the Tyrant's bone armor!

On the second circumference, the crack widened, and black blood seeped out!

On the third lap, the bone armor shattered!

On the fourth lap, the axe blade pierced through flesh!

On the fifth lap, it's heading straight for the tyrant's neck!

The tyrant leaned back with all its might, the axe blade grazing its chin, drawing a trail of black blood. It flipped to its feet, its claws sweeping across!

Shen Xi raised his axe to block, but was knocked back several steps. He didn't stop, unleashing a whirlwind triple slash!

On the first lap, a strike aimed at the tyrant's left knee!

On the second lap, slash towards the tyrant's right shoulder!

The third lap, straight for the tyrant's chest!

The tyrant couldn't dodge in time, and a deep, bone-revealing wound was cleaved open in his chest, from which black blood gushed out like a fountain!

"roar!!!"

The tyrant let out a mournful roar, and the Monarch's Grip was activated! An invisible giant hand grabbed Shen Xi's body and slammed him hard into the ground!

"Bang!"

Shen Xi slammed heavily onto the arena, shattering the stone slabs and sending fragments flying. He was frozen in place for two seconds!

The tyrant charged forward, its claws tearing through the air, aiming straight for Shen Xi's throat!

Unyielding will, activate!

Reduces all damage taken by 50% for 3 seconds!

"clang!"

The claws gripped the shield, sparks flying. Shen Xi was thrown back several meters, but the shield did not shatter.

The immobilization effect has ended.

Shen Xi rolled over and stood up, a cold killing intent flashing in her eyes.

Blood was still seeping from the wound on the tyrant's chest. A crack had been split open on its left knee, most of the bone armor on its right shoulder was shattered, and the wound on its chin was even more gruesome.

But its eyes still held a madness.

"Human..." the tyrant's voice was hoarse, "You are strong... stronger than any human I have ever met..."

"But you still have to die!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the tyrant pounced again!

This time, its attack was even more frenzied and reckless. Its claws lashed out like a storm, each claw carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks. Shen Xi raised his axe to block, but was forced back several steps by the impact.

The tyrant's offensive grew increasingly fierce and rapid.

It no longer cares about defense.

All it needs to do is kill Shen Xi.

Below the stage, Lord Wu'an's expression changed.

"The tyrant... has gone mad..."

Liu Qing's voice trembled: "It's courting death..."

The others also had worried expressions in their eyes.

On the stage, Shen Xi's lips curled into a cold smile.

The tyrant panicked.

It knew its time was limited. The temporary buff from the inheritance ceremony wouldn't last long. If it couldn't kill Shen Xi before the buff ended, it would be meat on the chopping block once the weakened state was over.

So it went crazy.

Regardless of the consequences.
