# Chapter 566: Five Consecutive Victories
Zhong Wang in the center of the eastern seats suddenly stood up, his face twisted to an extreme due to shock. In his heart, he had actually approved of Yuanque Junwang's decision to use a forbidden technique. Because as the young prince of Zhong Wang's manor, if Yuanque Junwang lost, it would be a great defeat for the entire Zhong Wang Manor. If he could activate his bloodline forbidden technique to completely overwhelm and defeat Yun Che, the severe side effect of three months of weakness was serious, but still far better than the consequences of defeat.
However, Yuanque Junwang, whose profound energy was in a frenzy, did not crush Yun Che. This had already made him uneasy. Now, Yun Che's power aura suddenly skyrocketed, startling him so much that he almost spat blood on the spot.
The suddenly surging power aura swept over, causing the raging Yuanque Junwang's breath to stall and even his spear momentum to slow. Facing Yuanque Junwang's all-out strike, Yun Che no longer defended conservatively but charged forward directly, smashing down with a single strike of "Falling Moon and Sinking Star."
Bang!!
The power impact from Yun Che was far, far stronger than before. The profound energy storm stirred up by Yuanque Junwang's twin spears was like a thousand-foot wave encountering a ten-thousand-foot tsunami, instantly suppressed and devoured. An immense power that he could hardly believe hit his twin spears and then his body.
Amid a booming sound, his arms went completely numb. His entire body, like a withered leaf in a storm, flew far backward and smashed heavily onto the roof of the Yaohuang Palace. With the violent trembling of the entire hall, he bounced and fell to the ground, causing the hall to shake again.
However, because he was blasted upward rather than sideways, when his body stopped, he still had not left the arena.
Yuanque Junwang supported himself with his twin spears and stood up from the rubble in disgrace. His entire blood and qi were as chaotic as if boiling. The tiger's mouths of his hands holding the spears were split, dripping with blood. Under his powerful defensive profound energy, he was not seriously injured by this sword strike, but his already crumbling faith was shattered by more than half.
In the "Purgatory" state, Yun Che was constantly enduring massive consumption and burden, so he naturally would not waste even half a breath of time. As soon as Yuanque Junwang stood up, he swiftly charged forward and smashed down with his sword.
Yuanque Junwang's veins bulged as if about to burst. A frenzied ferocity suddenly flickered in his eyes. Every scale on his body lifted violently, spurting out shocking blood blossoms.
"This king... will kill you!!"
Yuanque Junwang's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth nearly shattered. He raised his arms and, with a low, pained roar, poured all the power in his body without reservation into his twin spears. The dragon shadow behind him shattered, and on the spear bodies, one black and one silver fierce dragon shadows appeared.
"It's Zhong Wang Manor's ultimate technique, Demon Dragon World-Slaying!" several people exclaimed on the spot.
"Xiao'er, be careful!" Yun Qinghong quickly called out.
As one of Zhong Wang Manor's ultimate techniques, this Demon Dragon World-Slaying was already barely usable by Yuanque Junwang under normal circumstances. Forcing its use in his current state incurred an unimaginable burden. But now, with his faith on the verge of collapse, Yuanque Junwang could not care about the consequences.
After this move, at worst, his profound veins might be severely damaged.
But its power was terrifying beyond measure.
"Yun Che... die!! Demon Dragon World-Slaying!"
One black and one silver fierce dragons shot out from the twin spears, winding and intertwining as they fiercely pierced through space. Before the two dragons even approached, Yun Che was already unable to advance, his clothes quickly torn into shreds, and even his eyes could barely open.
Such a strong move... But this guy releasing such power under prolonged burden and near depletion of profound energy...
Is he tired of living?!
"Cloud-Sealing Sun-Locking!"
The moment the Evil God Barrier appeared, the two fierce dragons completely engulfed Yun Che. The power of destruction erupted violently. The sound of the Evil God Barrier being violently impacted and torn filled Yun Che's ears. After persisting for three breaths, the Evil God Barrier finally shattered, but over ninety percent of the Demon Dragon World-Slaying's power had been neutralized. The remaining force merely knocked Yun Che back several dozen zhang, barely causing a minor injury.
"It can end now..." Yun Che wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, flickered, passed through the dust cloud rising in the air, and smashed his sword onto Yuanque Junwang, who was completely stunned.
Yuanque Junwang had recklessly released all the power in his body, leaving almost no defensive profound energy. With a sword strike at only twenty percent of his power, Yuanque Junwang's body was thrown far like a pile of rotten meat.
Bang!
Yuanque Junwang's body hit the ground heavily, covered in blood. However, the injuries Yun Che inflicted were internal—broken bones and torn tendons. The blood on him was mostly from the severe burden causing massive skin splits.
A large amount of blood flowed from Yuanque Junwang's forehead, body, and the back of his hand. He lay stiffly there, his eyes staring blankly at the blurry palace ceiling, his gaze dull and dazed, as if experiencing an extremely unreal dream. He opened his mouth but ultimately made no sound. His consciousness completely faded, his head tilted to the side, and he passed out entirely.
Yuanque Junwang, defeated!
The entire hall fell into dead silence, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Even Zhong Wang Manor, facing Yuanque Junwang covered in blood and unconscious on the ground, remained motionless for a long time... all completely stunned.
"Big brother... so amazing! Big brother, you are truly amazing!!"
An excited shout rang out in the hall. Xiao Yun was already waving his arms and roaring wildly.
Xiao Yun's shout was like lighting the fuse of gunpowder. The Yaohuang Palace erupted into a huge wave of sound.
"Yun Che won again... Yun Che actually won again!! My god! This is simply... simply... simply..."
"Yuanque Junwang unleashed his full power, used all his ultimate techniques, and even resorted to a forbidden technique, while Yun Che had already fought four battles before this, each opponent being a top figure renowned in the Phantom Demon Realm, yet Yun Che still won... This is simply a monster!"
"I am witnessing a peerless genius rising like the blazing sun! Coming to the Demon Emperor City and witnessing such a mythical genius and such a match... is enough to satisfy my entire life!"
"Previous matches made Yun Che's name resound across the world. But this match is enough to etch Yun Che into the annals of Phantom Demon history! Defeating five mid-stage Overlord Xuan cultivators consecutively at the Heavenly Xuan realm has never happened in Phantom Demon history, and it is nearly impossible in the future!"
"Good... good!" Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou clasped hands, already too excited to speak.
The young disciples present were all stunned. Each of them was an elite among their peers, normally extremely proud. But the fierce battle just now, the terrifying power, made them tremble with fear, even their hearts almost splitting. In the face of such power, and before someone of the same age, they felt their own strength was unworthy to even show off.
When Su Zhibei was defeated, the eastern seats still had six people, while the western seats had only one. On the eastern side, there were Hui Ye, Yuanque, and Hui Ran—all the strongest, capable of easily defeating Su Zhibei. On the western side, the final combatant, Yun Che, had a profound energy level so low it was embarrassing.
The western crowd had thought this battle would immediately end... in an even more miserable and humiliating defeat than expected. But none of them, not a single one, ever imagined that Yun Che would defeat Jiu Fangyu, defeat Xiao Donglai, defeat Chiyang Yanwu...
Defeat Hui Ye Junwang, ranked third among the Seven Sons of the Phantom Demon Realm, possessing the demon emperor bloodline and the strongest profound art...
Then defeat Yuanque Junwang, ranked second among the Seven Sons, who even resorted to a forbidden profound art!
Five consecutive victories!
And each one shook everyone's hearts and overturned everyone's perceptions!
These were five battles that would shake the entire Phantom Demon Realm. Before such achievements, all the defeats on both sides became insignificant, and all previous victories became unworthy of mention. This match, ostensibly a competition but secretly a struggle between two factions, a clash of ambition and loyalty, made Yun Che the sole protagonist, capturing everyone's attention and hearts.
Now, the western crowd looked at Yun Che with unprecedented brilliance. The elders of the Yun Clan were either too excited to speak or babbling incoherently. Regarding the "adopted son" Yun Qinghong had taken in, they had initially thought little of it, even despising him for his low profound energy. Now they realized what an enormous treasure the Yun Clan had found!!
The unconscious Yuanque Junwang was carried away by Zhong Wang Manor's people and quickly taken out of the Yaohuang Palace. If he was not treated promptly, he might be permanently crippled. Zhong Wang did not leave with them. His and Huai Wang's expressions were heavy and ugly... After each of Yun Che's five battles, they found they had severely underestimated him. This time was no different!
At the end of Yun Che's third match, Huai Wang had already conceived murderous intent towards Yun Che. Now, for perhaps the first time in his life, he so strongly wished for someone to vanish from the world immediately!
He felt too much shock from Yun Che, and accompanying that shock was an extremely heavy sense of danger.
He knew almost nothing about Yun Che's true origins. The only thing he knew was that Yun Che was twenty-two years old. What did twenty-two mean? His most proud son, Hui Ran, the recognized future number one of the Phantom Demon Realm, absolutely did not have such strength at twenty-two!
If he continued to grow like this, before long, wouldn't he surpass Hui Ran! And when he fully matured, he would far surpass him.
And such a person was also the adopted son of the Yun Clan, standing on the enemy's side!
Zhong Wang and Huai Wang exchanged glances, both seeing the intense murderous intent in each other's eyes.
Plop...
At the center of the arena, on the pitted ground, Yun Che supported himself with his heavy sword and slowly knelt down, his whole body trembling, gasping for breath. Each breath was extremely heavy. His previous four battles, especially the one with Hui Ye, had already consumed a great deal. Now, after exchanging hundreds of sword strikes with Yuanque and finally opening the Purgatory realm gate, and even activating "Cloud-Sealing Sun-Locking" in the Purgatory state, the consumption was even more enormous. The moment his nerves relaxed slightly, a mountain-like pressure enveloped his entire being, making it extremely difficult even to stand.
"Ah? Big brother!" Seeing Yun Che half-kneeling, Xiao Yun's heart tightened. He quickly said, "Father, quickly let big brother leave the arena! Big brother has fought five consecutive battles; he simply cannot fight anymore... Moreover, the person on the opposite side who hasn't come out is the most terrifying one, Hui Ran!"
Hui Ran, the foremost among the Seven Sons of the Phantom Demon Realm, at the Eighth Level of Overlord Xuan realm, completely surpassing the younger generation. He was called "incredibly freakish" by the people of the Demon Emperor City, the undisputed number one among his peers.
Although he was ranked among the top three with Hui Ye and Yuanque, his strength was far, far beyond theirs. In fact, the combined strength of Hui Ye and Yuanque could not even compare to his.
Yun Che's five consecutive victories had shocked everyone. But even so, based on the strength he displayed, anyone who knew Hui Ran's strength would never think Yun Che could be his opponent.
Especially since Yun Che had already fought five consecutive battles and had almost no strength left.
"Clan leader, quickly... quickly let him leave the arena immediately!" The Yun Clan's Grand Elder, Yun Waitian, said urgently. "If Hui Ran comes out, given Huai Wang's nature, he will definitely have Hui Ran directly kill him."
"Yes, Clan leader! Yun Che has achieved this much; our Yun Clan has already won a great victory! He is clearly exhausted now and must leave immediately; otherwise, it may be too late. With Hui Ran's strength, killing the current Yun Che would only take a single breath! By then, we won't even have time to save him." The Second Elder also said quickly. Given Yun Che's displayed strength and his status as the Yun Clan's adopted son, they had already realized that Yun Che's life or death could be closely related to the future of the Yun Clan.
Yun Qinghong was naturally more concerned about Yun Che's safety than anyone. He quickly sent a voice transmission to Yun Che: "Xiao'er, let your father forfeit the final match for you."
By having himself renounce the match with Hui Ran, it would best preserve Yun Che's dignity. Just as he finished transmitting, he saw Yun Che turn his face toward him and then... slowly shake his head. His face was covered in sweat, flushed like fire, but his gaze was as firm as steel.
Yun Qinghong's heart felt as if struck by something heavy. He did not stand up, did not speak. Even as the elders came forward to urgently advise, and the various clan leaders and commandery princes on the western seats kept signaling and sending voice transmissions, he remained unmoved.
"Husband..." Mu Yurou grabbed Yun Qinghong's arm, her palm ice-cold.
Yun Qinghong grasped her hand back and said in a low but resolute voice: "Yurou, this is Xiao'er's own persistence. We have no right to make decisions on his behalf without permission... But rest assured, he is our son. Even if I have to stake my life, I will never let him come to harm."
As he spoke, his other hand was already clenched tightly. A small cluster of lightning with an terrifyingly high density silently condensed in his palm... If Hui Ran really made a deadly move on Yun Che and Yun Che was unable to resist, he would not hesitate to personally kill Hui Ran, even if it meant ruining his own reputation and honor!
