Chapter 48 - Old Ox

Practitioners of the Death Law are powerful with soul attacks that are strange and unpredictable.

Practitioners of the Destruction Rule are peerless in material attacks.

Practitioners of the Fate Law, on the other hand, have unpredictable attack methods.

At Roy's level, he had already grasped the true essence of the Profound Mysteries of Laws.

In battles between God-level experts, regardless of how strange or varied the rules or laws appeared outwardly, the ultimate victory or defeat was determined by the clash of their respective Profound Mysteries of Laws.

Only when one reached Paragon or the Sovereign level would they abandon rules and laws.

Experts at that level had already surpassed the boundaries of rules and laws; their battles were collisions of their Willpower.

Of course, this was still a very long way for Roy.

On the eighth day, Roy landed on the Blood Battle Stage, and the onlookers immediately cheered loudly.

These past few days, Roy's reputation on Lotus Rock Island had been soaring.

Firstly, it was Roy's immense strength.

No matter how powerful the Seven-star Demons challenging him appeared, Star could defeat them in a short period.

Secondly, it was that Roy had not killed a single challenger on the Blood Battle Stage so far.

No one who came to the Blood Battle Stage to participate in challenges was afraid of death.

However, who wouldn't like someone who could gain combat experience against a strong opponent while also ensuring their own safety?

And on this day, the number of Seven-star Demons queuing up to challenge Roy reached thirty.

Of course, there weren't that many Seven-star Demons today, only seven.

The remaining twenty-three were Six-star Devils.

Under normal circumstances, Seven-star Demons challenging for a Hundred Consecutive Victories, after reaching seventy wins, would mostly face other Seven-star Demons.

This was due to the significant power gap between Seven-star Demons and Six-star Devils; ordinary Six-star Devils couldn't withstand even a few moves against Seven-star Demons and participating in challenges was simply courting death.

But Star was different; whether the challengers were Six-star Devils or Seven-star Demons, there was no threat to their lives. Thus, these Six-star Devils dared to sign up.

"Lord Star."

The attitude of the arena manager of Lotus Rock Island towards Roy changed day by day.

"Haha, Nelson, let's begin. With so many challengers today, it seems I can achieve the title of 'Hundred Battle Expert' today."

Roy stood on the Blood Battle Stage and said this to the arena manager, not concealing his voice at all.

And with the strength of these participants, Roy's words naturally could not be hidden from them.

"Hmph, this Star's tone is quite arrogant."

As the people queuing for challenges blocked his path, someone expressed dissatisfaction with Roy's statement.

Roy's words clearly showed he didn't take them seriously, as if they were all there just to add to his Hundred Consecutive Victories.

It was undeniable that those Six-star Devils were indeed like fodder, but they still had seven Seven-star Devils among them.

"Heh, if you can easily defeat Nether Ghost, you can also say that on the Blood Battle Stage."

"Hey, Nether Ghost..."

Hearing his companions behind him speak, the middle-aged man who spoke first showed a trace of apprehension in his eyes, but he didn't concede: "Perhaps Nether Ghost wasn't in good condition, or maybe this guy just happened to counter Nether Ghost that's why he won."

"Do you believe that?"

Clearly, the person behind the man was familiar with him and ridiculed him without restraint: "You've sparred with Nether Ghost before, haven't you? If it weren't for me back then, you would have already died by Nether Ghost's sword. Even if Nether Ghost was in bad shape, being able to defeat Nether Ghost means this fellow named Star is no weaker than Nether Ghost."

"Moreover, you heard about what happened yesterday, right?"

"A total of fifteen consecutive battles, and every single one was against a Seven-star Demon."

"Even for me, if the opponent were a Seven-star Demon, I could at most manage five consecutive battles."

"I suspect this Star might possess Asura-level strength."

"His coming to the Blood Battle Stage to participate in challenges is probably because, after becoming a Hundred Battle Expert, he intends to challenge the Lotus Rock Lord."

"What? Asura?"

Upon hearing his friend's speculation behind him, the middle-aged man's face changed drastically.

The classification of demons given by the Demon Castle only went up to Seven-star Demons.

Some were Seven-star Demons because their strength only allowed them to reach the Seven-star Demon level.

Others were Seven-star Demons because the Demon Castle's demon ranking only had Seven-star Demons.

Many, after their strength surpassed that of a Seven-star Demon, would go to challenge the strongest expert in their domain – the "Prefect."

If they succeeded in the challenge, they would become a Prefect.

If they failed, they would die. Those who survived would receive a title distinct from Seven-star Demons – Asura.

Prefects who were defeated after being challenged were also called "Asura."

Well, of course, some Asuras were not those who failed to challenge a Prefect. Instead, they were themselves Prefects, but they had been Prefects for too long, grew weary of it, and abdicated their positions to roam freely without being bound to a single place. Such super-experts were also called "Asura."

Thinking about the intelligence he'd gathered from others these past few days and combining it with what his friend had said, the middle-aged man instantly turned into a docile child, not daring to say another word.

"Star, your seventy-sixth battle begins."

"We invite our first challenger, Mr. 'Overlord Sword'."

"Whoosh!"

As Nelson, the arena manager, spoke, a bare-chested, burly man flew onto the stage. Two devil horns topped his head, and on his back, he carried a greatsword taller than himself.

"Star, Old Ox here heard you fought fifteen Seven-star Devils consecutively yesterday. I figured you were a strong fighter, so I came specifically to challenge you."

"I hope you don't disappoint me, otherwise, Old Ox's greatsword won't hold back..."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The burly man, calling himself "Old Ox," drew his greatsword from his back and swung it, stirring up a hurricane that carved a deep沟壑 into the Blood Battle Stage.

"It's actually this guy."

Below the Blood Battle Stage, those who recognized Overlord Sword had their eyes light up.

Overlord Sword was also a powerful Seven-star Devil. He had fought Nether Ghost once, and it was he who had ended Nether Ghost's winning streak.

He himself was currently a Hundred Battle Expert with eighty-two consecutive victories, and his winning streak remained unbroken so far.

"Oh? Then I look forward to it."

Roy showed no particular reaction to Overlord Sword's provocation.

Overlord Sword might be strong, but Roy possessed over five hundred drops of Sovereign Power. As long as he didn't encounter a Paragon expert, Roy feared no one.

With a loud roar, Old Ox's figure transformed into a yellow streak of light, charging at Roy. The greatsword glowed with yellow light as it slashed down at Roy.

"Earth Element expert?"

Sensing the familiar Profound Mysteries of Laws emanating from Old Ox, Roy also smiled.
