66: Chapter 66 Eight Thousand Families

As these words fell, it was like a thunderclap from the ninth heaven exploding across the entire arena!

In ordinary vassal race duels, at most it would result in the loss of vassal combat power and elimination, but destroying the Divine Kingdom Core completely severed one's cultivation foundation and crippled a lifetime of cultivation. The light consequences meant being reduced to a useless cripple, while severe consequences led to the collapse of the Divine Kingdom and the destruction of both body and soul—this was a true life-and-death battle to the bitter end where they fought with their lives on the line!

The one hundred thousand spectators in the audience instantly lost their voices, and the expressions of all the prodigies, mentors, and higher-ups drastically changed!

"Audacious!"

The head referee of the arena immediately rebuked sternly, his figure flashing to the edge of the stage with an extremely severe expression, "The State Competition is an official federal event aimed at sparring, competing, and selecting prodigies. Destroying an opponent's Divine Kingdom Core is strictly prohibited, and life-and-death combat is strictly forbidden! This proposal is invalid and is hereby annulled!"

The state government officials and military higher-ups watching from the side also successively spoke out to stop them with resolute attitudes.

The Divine Kingdom Core was the foundation of a deity. Once damaged, it would be useless for life and even endanger one's life.

If two geniuses were allowed to fight to the death and mutually destroy each other's Divine Kingdoms in a public arena, it would not only violate the tournament rules but also cause irreversible talent losses and shake the federation's prodigy cultivation system.

Under the hardline intervention of the group of higher-ups, Lin Ye was ultimately helpless and could only temporarily suppress the idea of openly and completely annihilating his opponent.

However, at this moment, there was no longer the slightest room for relaxation deep inside both of their hearts.

Rules could restrain methods, but they could not restrain killing intent.

Whether it was Lin Ye or Ye Feng, both knew extremely well in their hearts that if there was even half a chance today, both would unhesitatingly deal fatal blows, completely eradicating the other as a heartland menace and concluding this long-standing, irreconcilable grudge.

"Since the rules do not allow core destruction, we will do it according to your rules." Lin Ye pulled back his excess thoughts, his expression icy and cold. "A life-and-death, unyielding battle of vassal races; conceding means kowtowing in public. Today, I will accompany you to the end!"

Hearing this, the corners of Ye Feng's mouth curled into an icy arc, and the depths of his eyes were filled with a grinning smile of assured victory: "Very well. Since you are seeking your own death, don't blame me for not remembering our fellow townsman sentiments!"

As his voice fell, Ye Feng no longer delayed. Purple-golden lightning violently burst forth around his entire body, and the terrifying divine kingdom pressure soared into the sky, far surpassing the aura displayed in any previous time!

At this instant, everyone in the audience sensed that something was wrong.

Ye Feng's divine kingdom pressure was more than twice as formidable as it was during the City Tournament!

The originally slightly thin Grade A divine kingdom aura had now become incomparably thick and extremely stable, with its carrying capacity and foundation completely reborn!

Amidst the shocked gazes of the audience, Ye Feng's ultimate trump card was completely revealed.

"Do you think these past few days I was just resting and building up my strength?" Ye Feng sneered arrogantly, "To slash you today, I mobilized one-fifth of the Ye family's generational accumulated resources, forcefully reshaping and tempering the foundation of the divine kingdom, forcibly doubling the carrying upper limit and spiritual power foundation of the Grade A divine kingdom!"

"Not only that, I even directly consumed an incomparably precious five-year divine kingdom time-flow card!"

The five-year divine kingdom time-flow blessing, piled and tempered with massive resources, allowed his vassal race cultivation speed, advancement efficiency, and ethnic reproduction volume to complete a terrifying transformation in just a few short days that ordinary people would take years to achieve!

Rumble—!

Five huge divine kingdom passages opened simultaneously, obscuring the midair of the arena. Violent lightning flames and toxic black fog swept across the world, and the overwhelming vassal race pressure crushed the entire audience!

From within the pitch-black rift at the front, countless ferocious Hell Three-Headed Hounds stepped out, their scales dense and gleaming, lightning and fire intertwining, with a shocking and terrifying quantity!

Grade S Hell Three-Headed Hound, a full four thousand five hundred of them!

Following closely behind, heavy and violent thunder giant beasts galloped down, making the earth tremble and lightning light run wild!

Grade A Thunderstorm Berserk Rhino, a full two thousand of them!

In addition, the remaining four supporting, assault, and crowd-control vassal races appeared all at once, densely packing and obscuring the field of vision, while countless fierce beasts roared to shake the clouds!

Eight thousand!

The total number of all vassal races deployed by Ye Feng today actually broke through to eight thousand!

Moreover, within this massive legion, there was no shortage of top-tier commander-level individuals holding down the fort, coordinating the entire army and boosting formations. The offensive and defensive system formed a perfect closed loop, with dual blessings of lightning flames and poison. Attributes, ranks, quantities, and formations were all maxed out!

The one hundred thousand spectators in the arena were completely dazed, and then an ultimate uproar that shook the entire arena erupted!

"Eight thousand vassal races! This volume is too terrifying! Ye Feng actually hid such a deep trump card!"

"Mobilizing one-fifth of the family's resources and a five-year time-flow card! This is betting the entire foundation of the Ye family, specifically coming to kill Lin Ye!"

"Four thousand five hundred Grade S Hell Three-Headed Hounds! And two thousand Grade A Thunderstorm Berserk Rhinos! This configuration is completely at a crushing level!"

The mentors and higher-ups in the VIP seats were all moved, finally understanding Ye Feng's absolute confidence.

A legion piled up with such resources, combined with attributes naturally countering demonic qi fierce beasts and rank suppression, indeed had an absolute certainty of crushing Lin Ye.

On the stage, looking at the overwhelming fierce beast legion before him, Lin Ye's expression remained icy and waveless, without a shred of fear, leaving only bone-chilling coldness.

Since the other party spared no effort to exhaust their family foundation and desperately layout, he also had no need to hold back.

Today's battle was inherently irreconcilable; covering up trump cards was completely meaningless!

"Since you have exhausted everything, I will open a full-scale war!"

Lin Ye's mind moved with a bang, and the demonic qi divine kingdom within his body was fully lifted from restriction. The entire world was instantly shrouded in ink-black, towering demonic qi, and the gloomy, annihilation-like pressure instantly overshadowed the lightning flames, firmly suppressing the entire audience!

The pitch-black and profound divine kingdom passage opened simultaneously, and an ethnic aura even more vast and tyrannical than Ye Feng's swept across the eight directions!

On the ground, the Shahun Hounds entwined with dark red patterns and towering demonic qi stepped forward together, their ferocity suppressing the world, with a quantity totaling two thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine!

In the firmament, the Soul-Devouring Owls covered in ink-colored feathers and permeated with soul-devouring power filled the sky, obscuring the vault of heaven, numbering a full one thousand six hundred and seventy-eight!

Within the shadows, the Demonic Blood Pythons with icy scales and inescapable toxic constriction lurked and roamed, ready to strike, totaling one thousand five hundred and forty-three!

The Iron-Bone Turtles with heavy shells and an unyielding defense steadfastly formed formations, building an absolute defense, numbering one thousand one hundred and twenty!

The Shadow Foxes hidden in the void shadows with inescapable instant kills lurked and stealthily moved, locking onto the vital points of the entire audience, totaling one thousand three hundred and fifty!

The most terrifying thing was that micro-imperceptible black-fog mosquitoes swirled out across the sky, dense and endless. The Plague Seed Mosquitoes carrying inescapable plague and decaying power numbered a full thirty thousand!

All six vassal races appeared in the world, the entire army went out to battle, with not a single one left behind!

In terms of quantity, Lin Ye's legion completely crushed Ye Feng's eight thousand vassal races, forming a shocking momentum of suppression!

On one side was an eight-thousand-strong top-tier legion piled up with family foundation and resources, with dual suppression in attributes and ranks.

On the other side was tens of thousands of demonic-type fierce beasts with all trump cards revealed and everyone unsealed, featuring numerical suppression and a perfectly closed-loop system.

Just as the two legions were in a standoff and the battle was on the verge of breaking out, the arena barrier changed once again.

To adapt to the ultra-high-intensity legion combat and prevent the stage from collapsing and damaging the venue, the entire combat venue instantly switched, replaced by a vast mountainous forest battlefield with continuous rolling mountains, dense woods, and complex terrain.

Rugged mountain forests, dense forest cover, and crisscrossing ravines.

The complex terrain could either rely on cover for shadow assassination and close-quarters strangulation, or support high-altitude air combat and large-scale plague spread, while simultaneously adapting to the large-scale bombardment and assault of thunder fierce beasts.

This battlefield possessed extreme topographical advantages for both Lin Ye's eerie demonic-type vassal races and Ye Feng's lightning and flame vassal races.

Neither side occupied a terrain advantage—this was a pure legion head-on collision and life-and-death battle of trump cards!

Gale winds howled through the mountain forest, the two top-tier legions confronted each other across the space, killing intent soared into the clouds, and the flames of war were completely ignited!

The irreconcilable fateful duel officially began!
