The huge arena was still empty and desolate, without any signs of life.
Lian Jinghong placed a heaven-step primeval stone in the corner of the arena and activated the array. The seven-colored divine light soared to the sky.
The seven-colored divine light flowed around the arena, immediately becoming a bit more sacred and dignified.
King Tianping's cold voice resounded in the void, "Do you want to participate in the competition?"
"Yes." Gao Zhengyang answered without hesitation.
A golden beam of light directly fell on Gao Zhengyang, separating him from the surroundings.
Lian Jinghong hurriedly warned from outside: "When the arena is connected, there will be an opponent on the opposite side. King Tianping will continue to ask if you want to participate in the competition, you must refuse."
Gao Zhengyang waved his hand at Lian Jinghong, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
The golden beam of light suddenly retracted, and countless streams of light flashed in Gao Zhengyang's eyes.
When everything returned to normal, Gao Zhengyang found himself in another space.
A huge stone platform, several hundred zhang in circumference. Below the platform was a bottomless abyss. The cold wind whistling from below was deep enough to make people's heart palpitate.
On the opposite side of the platform stood a burly man wearing leather armor. Although he was called a burly man, his facial features were extremely ugly. Naked. His exposed skin was covered with crisscrossing scars. In his hand was a heavy black iron rod that looked like a wolf tooth club.
What attracted Gao Zhengyang's attention the most was the pair of scarlet curved horns on the burly man's head and the pair of blood-red eyes.
The burly man's four eyes stared at Gao Zhengyang at the same time. The bottom two eyes were very lively, while the top two eyes were like the eyes of a snake, dull and lifeless.
After sizing him up, the burly man opened his mouth and said: "Another weak human!"
The burly man's pronunciation was very strange, but Gao Zhengyang could still barely understand it. He felt that the evil aura on the burly man was particularly familiar, so he probed: "Demon?"
"It's the Holy Race!" The burly man's four blood-red eyes rolled together, and very proudly corrected him.
That's right, all the high level demons that Gao Zhengyang had seen were like this. He was clearly dressed in rags and his behavior was vulgar and barbaric, but he felt extremely good about himself.
Gao Zhengyang sized up the other party. From his aura, he estimated that the other party was probably around the seventh tier.
At this time, Monarch Tianping's cold voice said, "Gao Zhengyang, will you participate in the Divine Martial Arena?"
Seeing that Gao Zhengyang still hadn't responded, the burly devil man sneered, "Weak and incompetent human, get the hell out of here if you don't dare. Don't embarrass yourself in the Divine Martial Arena! "
Gao Zhengyang was not angry. He was not afraid of the other party, but there was no need to take the risk. He was just in a bad mood, so he came over to take a look. He had no intention of taking action.
"I won't participate in the martial arts competition," Gao Zhengyang answered with certainty.
Hearing this, the burly Devil Race man spat at Gao Zhengyang and cursed loudly.
The burly man didn't have any tricks when he scolded people. He only said a few words over and over again. Gao Zhengyang didn't mind.
But to his surprise, Monarch Tianping didn't move.
After a while, Monarch Tianping's voice sounded again.
"If you refuse to compete in the Divine Martial Arena three times in a row, you will lose the qualification to compete in the Divine Martial Arena and will be punished by force."
Gao Zhengyang was stunned. Damn, his luck was so bad!
Being punished by force was definitely not a good thing, and losing the qualification to compete in the Divine Martial Arena was even worse.
The Divine Martial Arena hid countless secrets. How could he just give it up like this?
His opponent was not very strong, so there was no reason to give up the Divine Martial Arena just to be cautious.
After thinking for a while, Gao Zhengyang made a decision. "I agree to participate in the martial arts competition."
Monarch Tianping was silent for a while and continued, "Both sides are willing to participate in the martial arts competition. Please be prepared … "
Without waiting for Gao Zhengyang to speak, the burly Devil Race man said, "Life and death duel, no rest until death."
Monarch Tianping quickly repeated, "The rules of the martial arts competition, no rest until death."
Gao Zhengyang smiled. This Devil Race man was really fierce. Unfortunately, the other party had made a big mistake.
"Restrict all vitality changes," Gao Zhengyang said and took out the Dragon King Halberd first.
Monarch Tianping repeated, "The rules of the martial arts competition, restrict all vitality changes."
After the grand voice dissipated, the golden light that isolated the middle of the stone platform dissipated silently.
Without the barrier, the burly Devil Race man on the opposite side looked even more fierce. He was more than three feet taller than Gao Zhengyang, and his arms were thicker than Gao Zhengyang's waist. Standing there, he was like a standing ancient demon beast, and his whole body seemed to be full of endless power.
Compared to the burly Devil Race man, Gao Zhengyang was like a child who had not yet grown up.
The burly Devil Race man laughed and said, "This is the first time I have seen such a stupid opponent, unexpectedly restricting all vitality changes. Hahaha … "
Of course, the burly Devil Race man was proud. If he was not afraid that Gao Zhengyang would run away, he would also have proposed to restrict vitality changes. He did not expect that Gao Zhengyang would be so cooperative.
They were also from the Blood-eyed Iron Bear Race, and they were famous in the Devil World for their tyrannical bodies.
The other party, a human, actually wanted to compete with him in physical strength. He was really courting death.
The burly Devil Race man laughed even more proudly. His black, yellow, and sharp teeth made his smile look extremely ferocious.
Above Gu Tianyue's martial arts arena, eight huge water mirrors showed the situation in the Divine Martial Arena. Every water mirror had a different perspective.
Not only could the water mirror show light and shadow, but it could also transmit sound.
Lian Jinghong's face was full of worry. The Blood-eyed Demon Bear man was the first opponent he had met. At that time, he felt that he did not have much chance of winning and decisively refused the martial arts competition.
He did not expect that this time, Gao Zhengyang would meet again and directly agree to the martial arts competition.
Lian Jinghong felt that Gao Zhengyang had miscalculated. His physical strength had indeed reached the Heaven Stage, but it was still incomparable to the Blood-eyed Demon Bear, who specialized in cultivating the physical body.
This Blood-eyed Demon Bear was very boorish and arrogant, but its strength had reached the eighth stage.
Unlike the eighth stage warriors, the Blood-eyed Demon Bear's Martial Soul, Essence Qi, and physical body were completely integrated. Their weakness was that they could not release their Martial Soul, but their strength was that their bodies could be constantly strengthened.
In other words, even without Essence Qi, they could use their bodies to burst forth with the power of the eighth stage.
Gao Zhengyang's strongest point was his body, but in front of the Blood-eyed Demon Bear, he was at an absolute disadvantage.
His strongest point was not enough, which made Lian Jinghong feel a little hopeless.
He had heard clearly from the side that this battle would not end until one side was dead.
If he had known earlier, he would have spent more effort to forge the heavy armor so that he could take a few more blows. As for the Earth Spirit Ring, he had been studying it ever since it was unsealed. However, the Earth Spirit Ring was useless because of the restriction on Essence Qi.
The only thing that gave him some comfort was that the halberd in Gao Zhengyang's hand looked very good. It could merge with the body and be activated at will. It should be a ninth stage Divine Soldier.
But activating the Divine Soldier also required Essence Qi. Without Essence Qi, the Divine Soldier was just an ordinary weapon. The various powers of the Divine Soldier could not be used at all.
Lian Jinghong could not help but sigh. But no matter how anxious he was, he could not help and could only watch from the outside.
On the Divine Martial Arena, the Blood-eyed Demon Bear suddenly shouted, "Eat my staff!"
Amidst the thunderous roar, the man raised the black iron staff high and smashed it toward Gao Zhengyang.
The bear-like man was much taller than Gao Zhengyang. With his long height and the iron staff, he was like an iron tower, completely enveloping Gao Zhengyang.
The black, six-edged iron staff was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and there were many protruding spikes at the end of the staff.
With a fierce swing of the cudgel, the invisible Yuan Qi was crushed and turned into a transparent mist.
The stone arena was very spacious, but the bear-like man's staff swung down covered a radius of dozens of feet.
What was even more terrifying was the bear-like man's unparalleled momentum.
The staff seemed to be able to smash anything into pieces, and there was no power that could stop it.
A martial artist's exuberant fighting spirit, absolute confidence, and the Violent Martial Soul were all displayed vividly in this one strike.
Gao Zhengyang did not like his opponent, but he also had to admire his opponent's staff.
After coming to this world, Gao Zhengyang had seen many experts. He had seen people like Jue Mie, Formless, Huiming, and even the peerless Divine Dragon.
These experts were all very strong, but they did not have such exuberant fighting spirit. They did not have the intense killing intent to kill the enemy, nor did they have the wild valiance of invincibility.
Although the bear-like man's strike was simple, it was so pure that it made Gao Zhengyang's blood boil, and his fighting spirit soared to the extreme.
Gao Zhengyang held the Dragon King Halberd tightly with both hands. After swinging the halberd slightly behind him, it drew a perfect half arc and went against the momentum, smashing the iron staff head-on.
The Dragon King Halberd was like Gao Zhengyang's tail, fiercely swinging from behind. This was the Divine Dragon's Tail Whip of the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Emperor.
When a dragon swung its tail, it actually gathered all the strength in its body and released it through its tail.
This move looked simple, but it was the move that could gather all the strength in the body the most in the Nine Transformations of the Dragon Emperor.
Lian Jinghong, who was watching the battle in the arena, nervously clenched his fists.
No matter what, he did not expect that when facing the bear-like man's violent strike, Gao Zhengyang would choose to face it head-on.
Lian Jinghong did not approve of such a simple response.
But Gao Zhengyang's counterattack was also filled with power. That arrogant and overbearing aura that disregarded everything seemed to be even stronger than the bear-like man, and Lian Jinghong could not help but be moved.
