608: Battle against Black Impermanence

Time passed quietly, and two months flew by.

"City Lord, are you sure about letting this brat represent our Myriad Demon City in the Grand Competition?"

When Hei Beishang learned that Wan Qianqian intended to let Yang Lingchen represent Myriad Demon City in the Dragon God Star Domain Grand Competition, shock filled his eyes.

It had to be known that the participants for Myriad Demon City had always been from the Yao Race. Now, to let a member of the Human Race represent them in the Grand Competition was something Hei Beishang found truly difficult to accept.

"Are you questioning my judgment?" Wan Qianqian said coldly.

"City Lord, your Subordinate does not mean to question you, but this brat's cultivation level is so low. If he fails, wouldn't our Myriad Demon City suffer a great loss?" Hei Beishang said.

Although Yang Lingchen possessed a certain ability for Cross-Rank Challenge, he did not believe Yang Lingchen could defeat a Cultivator at the Haotian Realm Fifth Layer, let alone the fact that the contestants in the Dragon God Star Domain Grand Competition all had cultivation levels at the Peak of the Haotian Realm. The gap in cultivation level was simply too vast.

"Are you afraid that he will take your grandson's spot?"

Wan Qianqian sneered and said, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Bring your grandson here! As long as he can defeat Yang Lingchen, then this quota for the competition will remain his."

"City Lord, are you sure you want to let them fight?" Hei Beishang asked.

In his view, Yang Lingchen, at the Second Layer of the Haotian Realm, could not possibly defeat his grandson.

"Tomorrow morning, on the plaza in front of the City Lord's mansion, let them have a fair fight. Whoever wins gets this second spot," Wan Qianqian said.

Myriad Demon City had a total of two spots this time. She had given one spot to her younger sister, Wan Xixi, and she intended to give the other to Yang Lingchen.

However, since there were those who were unconvinced, as the City Lord, she naturally had to make her Subordinates accept the decision wholeheartedly.

"Yes, City Lord."

Hearing Wan Qianqian say this, Hei Beishang was secretly overjoyed. His grandson's cultivation level had already reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Haotian Realm, while Yang Lingchen's cultivation level was only at the Second Layer of the Haotian Realm. The difference in their cultivation levels could be described as heaven and earth; there was absolutely no comparison.

Yang Lingchen, who had been Cultivating, suddenly received a Sound Transmission from Wan Qianqian: "Tomorrow morning, in front of the City Lord's mansion, someone will challenge you. If you win, you will have the qualification to represent Myriad Demon City in the Grand Competition. If you lose, you know the consequences without me needing to say them."

"As long as the opponent's strength is still within the Haotian Realm, I will not lose." Yang Lingchen sent a Sound Transmission back to Wan Qianqian.

In fact, he was being very conservative. With his current strength, even if he encountered a powerhouse at the Second Layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm, he would still have the power to fight. Of course, if he encountered those top-tier Prodigies, that would be another matter.

The next morning.

Myriad Demon City was exceptionally lively today, with countless young Geniuses of the Yao Race gathering here.

"Why is it so lively here today?" a burly young man of the Yao Race asked.

"Don't you know? Today, Black Impermanence is going to fight Yang Lingchen here to compete for the spot in the Dragon God Star Domain Ranking Battle," a sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked young man of the Yao Race said.

"Yang Lingchen? Who is that? What right does he have to compete with Black Impermanence?"

"I heard he is a human, deeply favored by the City Lord."

"What is this human's cultivation level?"

"I heard it's the Second Layer of the Haotian Realm. He was previously locked up in the arena, and later, for some reason, he was discovered by the City Lord."

"The Second Layer of the Haotian Realm? Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. This isn't a secret."

"Just based on his cultivation level at the Second Layer of the Haotian Realm, what qualification does he have to fight Black Impermanence? How is this any different from seeking death?"

"Who knows?"

For a time, the surrounding young Geniuses of the Yao Race began to discuss it heatedly.

When Yang Lingchen arrived, the scene was already packed. With no other choice, he could only fly through the air and land slowly on the Arena.

"Look, that human brat is here."

"Damn, he's so delicate and tender. I could beat him into meat paste with one punch."

"Stop bragging. Are you questioning the City Lord's judgment?"

Yang Lingchen's arrival instantly attracted the attention of all the Geniuses of the Yao Race.

Not long after, Wan Qianqian, accompanied by the high-level officials of Myriad Demon City, also arrived at the scene. They sat directly on the viewing platform at the very top of the plaza.

"Human brat, out of respect for the City Lord, as long as you surrender and admit defeat, I will certainly not make things difficult for you."

Just then, a dark-skinned, tall, and thin young man appeared not far from Yang Lingchen.

This person was wearing a black robe, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness, giving people a feeling of trepidation at first glance.

The person who arrived was none other than Black Impermanence.

"You are not qualified to make me admit defeat," Yang Lingchen said in a calm tone.

Although Black Impermanence's cultivation level had reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Haotian Realm, if they were to truly fight, Yang Lingchen had absolute confidence in crushing his opponent.

"Good brat, you certainly have guts. Since you are so unappreciative, don't blame me for being impolite."

As soon as Black Impermanence finished speaking, a black long chain instantly flashed in his hand, and he threw it directly at Yang Lingchen's neck.

This black long chain exuded a chilling Yin Qi, while also carrying a trace of terrifying pressure, giving people a sense of invisible oppression.

Facing the first attack from Black Impermanence, Yang Lingchen stepped on the Seven Stars, his figure moved instantly, and when he appeared again, he was already in front of Black Impermanence, smashing a heavy punch towards Black Impermanence.

Black Impermanence missed his strike, and upon turning back, he met Yang Lingchen's punch with one of his own.

"Boom...!"

Following a heaven-shaking loud noise, the fierce Fist Aura of the Heavenly Fiend Fist instantly shattered Black Impermanence's Protective Barrier and then slammed heavily onto his chest.

"Crack...!"

"Pfft...!"

A crisp sound of a bone fracture rang out. Black Impermanence spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily below the Arena, losing all Combat Power on the spot.

"Hiss...!"

At this moment, the scene instantly fell into silence. Shock appeared in everyone's eyes, and even Wan Qianqian and Hei Beishang on the high platform showed expressions of disbelief.

Although she knew Yang Lingchen might be hiding his strength, she did not expect that Yang Lingchen's Combat Power could actually crush Black Impermanence.

And Black Impermanence was completely stunned at this moment. How the hell was this the Second Layer of the Haotian Realm? This was clearly the Haotian Realm Third Layer!

But even if the opponent was at the Haotian Realm Third Layer, the Combat Power couldn't be this strong, right? He was a Genius at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Haotian Realm! To be beaten into losing all Combat Power by the opponent with one punch, wasn't this too exaggerated?

All along, in Black Impermanence's eyes, humans were a very weak race. Within the same Realm, human Cultivators often could not compare to other races.

But today, Yang Lingchen refreshed his perception. From now on, he would never dare to look down on humans again.

"Is this guy really human?"

This was the thought in the minds of all the Geniuses of the Yao Race present.

Just then, a graceful figure slowly landed in the center of the Arena. Her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of fervent Battle Intent.

"Brat, let's have a fight," the woman said.

"City Lord, how could I possibly be your opponent!" Yang Lingchen hurriedly shook his head.

"Stinky brat, are you blind? I am Wan Xixi," the woman snapped.

"What!"

At this moment, Yang Lingchen finally reacted. He hurriedly turned his head to look at the high platform and immediately discovered that Wan Qianqian was looking at him. He whispered to himself, "Holy crap! They look way too much alike, don't they?"

If he hadn't noticed Wan Qianqian on the high platform, he really wouldn't have recognized the other person.

Because this Wan Xixi, whether in appearance, temperament, or the Demonic Qi on her body, was exactly the same as Wan Qianqian. If it weren't for someone who knew them well, one really wouldn't be able to tell who was who.
