576: Chapter 576 is not even in the same league.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi smiled and walked up to Fiya.

His pace was unhurried, his demeanor calm and composed, with a faint, gentle smile on his lips.

"Young Miss Fiya, long time no see!"

"I've missed you dearly since we parted ways at the Bank last time!"

"I wonder if I might invite you for a cup of tea today to chat for a while!"

There was no mockery or sarcasm in his tone; he sounded as casual as if he were discussing the weather!

Fiya raised her head and looked at him.

His expression was very calm—no triumph, no showing off, and not even a ripple of reaction from being recognized in public.

He just stood there, speaking calmly.

She suddenly recalled that back at the Bank, Kalsis had publicly mocked him for having no money, being unable to afford anything, and only being able to scavenge for scraps.

He hadn't gotten angry then either; he had just smiled and then effortlessly slapped him in the face.

It was the same now!

Kalsis had publicly questioned him, accusing him of cheating, using underhanded methods, and claiming it was impossible for a human to be this strong!

He still hadn't gotten angry; he still smiled and responded calmly!

Neither impatient nor irritable, neither servile nor overbearing!

This was the bearing a true powerhouse should have!

[Ding! Fiya's favorability +5 points!]

[Current favorability: 55 points!]

Kalsis stood to the side, his face turning green.

Damn it, the entire Kingdom of Extreme Evil knew that Fiya was his fiancée.

And here you are, Chen Yi, chatting with Fiya right in front of him?

Even saying such inviting words?

Where does that leave his dignity?

"Chen Yi! What do you mean by this? Talking to my fiancée right in front of me? Do you not take me seriously at all?"

Chen Yi glanced at him, but before he could speak, Fiya spoke first.

"Enough! How much longer are you going to keep embarrassing yourself?"

Kalsis froze.

Fiya looked at him, her eyes full of disappointment.

From the Bank to the God Stele Forest, from the God Stele Forest to the celebration banquet, and from the celebration banquet back to the God Stele Forest.

Every single time, he was the one embarrassing himself;

Every single time, he was the one causing a scene;

Every single time, he was the one making himself the laughingstock!

She had endured it for too long!

"You have absolutely no magnanimity!"

She couldn't help but mutter that under her breath!

But as soon as she said it, she regretted it.

After all, her engagement to Kalsis was already set, Starlight Pavilion still needed him, and there was Alke's prophecy...

She shouldn't have said that.

But she had said it anyway.

Because those were indeed her true feelings.

Kalsis's face turned completely black.

His fiancée, right in front of the person he hated most, said he had no magnanimity.

What was this?

This was slapping him in the face in public!

Damn it, how is this any different from being the victim?

He glared fiercely at Chen Yi, the fury in his eyes almost enough to burn him to ashes.

It was all because of this scoundrel!

From the Bank to the God Stele Forest, from the God Stele Forest to here—every time, he was the one embarrassing himself, every time, he was the one making a fool of himself!

Now even his fiancée had started to despise him!

All of this was because of this scoundrel!

"Chen Yi! I challenge you! Do you dare to accept?"

He didn't believe that Chen Yi was that Yi Chen.

He would definitely use his own strength to prove that Chen Yi was just a hypocrite!

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole crowd was in an uproar!

In the Kingdom of Extreme Evil, besides initiating a challenge by paying an energy purple crystal, one could also, like in the Void Realm, sign a life-and-death contract to duel.

Kalsis was going all out!

Chen Yi looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted!

It was perfect; he also wanted an opportunity to vent Zhao Zhao's anger!

This kind of scumbag was truly too scummy!

Just as he was about to speak, a figure pushed through the crowd.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhao Zhao rushed to Chen Yi's side in a few strides, grabbed his arm, and looked up at him. "Chen Yi, please show mercy, don't kill him!"

"After all, Kalsis is involved with too many people—Starlight Pavilion, Heavenly Venerable Mansion, and the forces behind him!"

"Killing him would just make things harder to resolve; just teaching him a lesson is enough."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet crowd.

Upon hearing this, Kalsis almost vomited blood from anger.

Show mercy?

Don't kill him?

These words sounded like concern on the surface, but in reality, saying them in this situation was clearly stating that he was inferior to Chen Yi!

And saying it in front of everyone!

It was simply naked humiliation!

"Zhao Zhao! You!"

Chen Yi smiled: "Hahaha, it's fine, it's fine, these are all small matters!"

Kalsis completely lost it.

He roared, his voice so hoarse it didn't sound human: "Chen Yi! Do you dare to accept or not! If you're a man, stand up!"

Chen Yi looked at him and shrugged: "Whatever!"

Two figures shot up into the sky.

Above the wasteland outside the Kingdom of Extreme Evil.

Chen Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering gently in the wind, like a Sword Immortal!

Kalsis stood opposite him, his aura surging wildly, his eyes bloodshot!

"Swish, swish, swish—"

Countless onlookers swarmed over, forming a large circle at the edge of the wasteland.

Some took out recording stones, some set up telescopes, and some simply flew into mid-air.

A battle of this level might not be seen once in tens of thousands of years; it absolutely could not be missed!

"Chen Yi, you scoundrel! Are you ready to die?"

After Kalsis finished speaking, he directly erupted with all his power!

The power of an Ancient God poured out from his body almost entirely, kicking up dust all over the sky!

The crowd at the edge of the wasteland let out gasps of shock.

"Is this Kalsis's full strength?"

"So strong! This aura is definitely among the best among Ancient Gods!"

"As expected of someone who broke into the five-digit ranking; he really has some skills!"

"But if Chen Yi really is Yi Chen, this level of strength wouldn't even be worth looking at in Chen Yi's eyes, right?"

---

Chen Yi looked at him and smiled faintly.

Then, he released his aura.

It wasn't an intentional release, just no longer suppressing it, and golden light surged from his body.

Wherever that light passed, Kalsis's aura melted instantly like residual snow under the scorching sun!

At the edge of the wasteland, everyone's expression changed!

That aura was too strong, strong enough to make people suffocate!

Even though he was clearly just an Ancient God, it gave people the illusion of facing a God Emperor!

No, it wasn't an illusion!

That was true power, approaching that of a God Emperor!

"This—is this power that an Ancient God can possess?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could an Ancient God be this strong?"

"Yue Wen! Even Lady Yue Wen isn't this strong! How exactly did he Cultivate?"

"A monster—he really is a monster—"

"Looking at it this way, he might really be Yi Chen!"

Kalsis stood there, trembling all over.

His legs were shaking, his lips were quivering, and his pupils were shrinking violently.

That aura pressed down on him like a great mountain, making it difficult for him even to breathe.

He finally understood one thing—he and Chen Yi were fundamentally not even on the same level as opponents!
