Devour: Start with the innate holy body and Taoist fetus

Chapter 60: Failure at the Last Moment, the Final Battle

Outside the fighting arena, the audience seats, which had been noisy and bustling, were now silent.

Countless audiences stared with their eyes wide open, unable to make a sound, as if their throats were being strangled.

Because the scene in the fighting arena was unbelievable to them.

Jiang Chen was seen holding a sword and slashing it down, hitting the weak spot in Dal's territory.

He chopped vertically, and in one go, he came in front of Dal in an instant and stabbed Dal's neck with the knife.

"How is this possible? I actually lost!"

Blood flowed down from his neck, and the spear in his hand fell weakly to the ground. Dal looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Before he died, he wanted to know why he lost.

"The domain is indeed extremely powerful, but because of this, it becomes extremely difficult to control. Your power may seem to increase when you cast the Lightning Domain, but in my eyes, it actually increases your flaws."

Jiang Chen finally solved Dahl's confusion.

"I see. My defeat wasn't unfair."

Dal's hoarse voice sounded, and he looked at the audience, and among the crowd, he saw Triss, who was crying inconsolably, and sighed inwardly.

"I'm sorry, sister, I broke my promise!"

After saying this, his body collapsed with a loud bang.

In his dying moments, he felt as if he had returned to his familiar hometown.

That beautiful planet, the strict father, the gentle mother, the lovely Triss, and the enthusiastic neighbors.

There was also the beautiful figure that haunted his dreams and made his heart beat fast.

Unfortunately, everything was ruined by those people.

The planet's lord, along with his two stellar-level subordinates, captured him and his sister and sold them as slaves.

At that time, he was completely unable to resist.

Later, he followed his sister in wandering and suffering, and finally grew up. In this giant axe fighting arena, he has won 999 victories.

He only needs one fight to escape his slavery and join the Giant Axe Arena. When he becomes stronger in the future, he will seek revenge on the planet's lord and his men and rescue his millions of people.

Unfortunately, it ultimately failed.

Not willing to give in?
Dahl asked himself.

"Maybe? But I'm too tired now and just want to rest."

At the end of his life, Dahl seemed to come to his former residence.

In the dark night and quiet room, his mother hummed a ballad to lull him to sleep, peaceful and intoxicated.

Looking at Dal, who had lost his life and whose body was gradually becoming stiff, Jiang Chen walked forward and closed his eyes.

After walking off the duel field, he said to the staff beside him, "As usual, bury him properly for me."

"Yes."

The staff member said respectfully.

After each duel, Jiang Chen would pay for the burial of his killed opponent.

Although they are opponents in the fighting arena, they have no grudges against each other after all, and he has a certain respect for every opponent.

"Little guy, I didn't expect that you would win this game."

The quiet office exuded a faint fragrance. Sophie, the fox-eared woman, looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

"Why, do you really want me to die?"

Jiang Chen sat on the chair opposite and teased with a smile.

As they spent more time in the Giant Axe Arena, he and Sophie gradually became familiar with each other, and they would joke around like this when nothing happened.

"Of course not. It would be a pity for me if such an interesting little guy like you died."

Sophie said as she stretched, her breathtaking figure on full display.

But Jiang Chen seemed to turn a blind eye and said, "Okay, sign me up for the next life-and-death duel."

"You've consumed a lot of energy in the battle with Dahl. Don't you want to take a break?"

Sophie couldn't help but persuade.

"I'm not that tired yet. I can at least continue fighting for two more games."

Jiang Chen rejected Sophie's kindness.

"Alright, be careful. I really want to see the day when you become a planetary giant axe warrior."

Sophie helped Jiang Chen sign up for the next duel.

"Jiang Chen, in the last match, your odds were 1:2.1, and you made a fortune again. The Black Dragon Coins you've earned have now reached over trillion!"

Babata's voice sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.

"Originally, I thought it would take a thousand life-and-death duels to earn thirty trillion Black Dragon Coins, but now it seems I've earned that much ahead of time."

Jiang Chen sat in the box, looking at the balance in his bank account, and couldn't help but smiled and nodded.

"You have now won 901 life-and-death duels, and with 99 more to go, you will have won a thousand victories.

"By then, the Black Dragon Coins we'll earn might reach 50 trillion!"

Babata calculated a rough number and couldn't help but smile with joy.

"But Jiang Chen, you must be careful. When you reach 900 games or more, the opponents you will be matched with will be planetary-level second-level cultivators with a level between 900 and 999 games.

"Any cultivator who can win more than 900 games in a row is not a good person. We must pay more attention to them."

"That's what makes it interesting. The stronger the opponent, the better the training effect on me."

Jiang Chen had anticipation in his eyes as he waited for the system to match him with the next opponent.

……

In the dozens of life-and-death duels that followed, the opponent did become stronger than before.

But Jiang Chen always defeated powerful enemies with overwhelming force. Because of Jiang Chen's unfathomable swordsmanship and his clean and neat fighting style, which was very pleasing to the eye, he attracted the love of countless audiences.

In almost every battle of Jiang Chen, the offline venue is packed with people.

The number of people in the online virtual universe will also increase dramatically.

Even the ratings of the live broadcast channel will increase a lot.

Seeing how popular Jiang Chen was, some people began to send him emails, wanting him to endorse various advertisements, and each one offered a hefty price.

There were also some people who, seeing Jiang Chen's excellent swordsmanship and fighting ability, began to admire his talent.

Either they want to take him in as a disciple, or they want him to participate in some inheritance trials.

As for these emails, Jiang Chen responded to some and ignored others, depending on the situation.

In this way, Jiang Chen's number of wins quickly soared from 901 to 999, just one win away from a thousand wins.

"Jiang Chen, your last matched opponent has come out."

That day, inside the room, Sophie personally handed the information of the last opponent to Jiang Chen.

"Your opponent this time is very powerful. Like Dal before, he's a formidable opponent with 999 consecutive victories. And like you, he's also very popular."

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen clicked on the information that Sophie sent to his auxiliary computer and started reading.

The image in the information showed a girl with a hot body, red hair and a charming face.

"Huang Yan, from the Yanhuo Clan, a spiritualist, and a second-level fire realm master, is not a slave, but a free citizen like me. Interesting!"

Jiang Chen clicked on the information and saw videos of Huang Yan fighting with his opponents.

In some of these videos, Huang Yan controls weapons that are like flowing fire, forming strange formations, trapping the enemy in the middle, and killing them easily.

Some directly use the Fire Domain, with raging flames that crush the enemy.

“Huang Yan, like you, is an extremely popular player, and both of you have won 999 games.

"So this battle will provide you with a much larger fighting arena, and the number of spectators will be dozens or even hundreds of times greater than before."

Sophie told Jiang Chen what she knew.

"I understand. It is truly a blessing to be able to face such a powerful opponent in the final life-and-death duel."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, looking at Huang Yan in the information, a smile on his lips.

"I thought you would be afraid when facing such a powerful opponent, but I didn't expect you to be as fearless as ever."

Sophie smiled and said, "I wish you success in this battle, little one."

"If we win this battle, can I treat you to a meal?"

Jiang Chen suddenly asked.

"No problem, but the food I eat is very expensive."

Sophie agreed immediately.

"Then let's see if my worth can withstand it."

……

"Jiang Chen, you don't have any feelings for Sophie, do you?"

After Sophie left, Babata's voice sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.

"What are you thinking! I'm just making some preparations for coming to the Giant Axe Arena again in the future."

Jiang Chen said with a helpless smile.

"So that's how it is. I thought you were interested in Sophie and wanted to persuade you."

"What are you trying to persuade me to do?"

"I advise you not to put your interest in love affairs, but to focus on cultivation!
"Besides, Sophie is able to become the director of the Giant Axe Arena. Her strength is at least above that of a Domain Lord, and her background is definitely not simple. Don't provoke her lightly."

"Don't worry, I'll naturally tell you what's important."

"Wait, what did you just say? Do you want to come to the Giant Axe Fighting Arena again in the future?"

Babata was stunned.

"Indeed, I came to the Giant Axe Fighting Arena this time and honed my swordsmanship through continuous fighting.

"Next time, I will come here in a different identity and train my mental power through continuous fighting."

Jiang Chen's eyes were deep, as if he could see far into the distance: "Ordinary people can only focus on one thing because of their lack of talent and poor understanding.

"But I'm different. My powerful comprehension and exceptional computing abilities would be a huge waste if I couldn't fully utilize them and transform them into my own strength."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean we'll have to stay in the Giant Axe Arena for a while longer?"

Babata said reluctantly.

"Need not."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "After this battle is over and I obtain the title of Giant Axe Warrior, I plan to return to Earth first to deal with some things, practice for a while, and then come to the Giant Axe Fighting Arena."

"That's good. You're not tired of fighting these thousand life-and-death battles, but I'm tired of watching them!"

Babata couldn't help but complain.

"Eurico, your thousandth life-and-death duel is about to begin. Please go to the fighting arena and prepare."

At this time, the staff came in and informed Jiang Chen to participate in the 1,000th life-and-death duel.

"I see."

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at Babata: "Just wait for me here."

"Well, I'll cheer you on!"

Babata nodded heavily.
