Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 273: The Web of Grudges

In the top-tier spectator hall, six top-tier experts from six realms had already focused their attention on the battlefield below.

Below,

A figure emitting radiant white light drifted through the competitor's corridor in front of Ye An.

Son of Light, not a standard deity but a divine elf from the divine realm, hence lacking a physical form.

He floated in mid-air, his golden virtual body emitting a cold, indifferent gaze towards Ye An, but said nothing, only casting a glance at the elevator platform beside him.

Then,

"Clack, clack, clack..."

The sound of huge stones scraping echoed, and Dark Son emerged onto the battlefield atop the stone platform.

Dark Son was entirely shrouded in black light, invisible as if in the pitch-black void of the universe.

With Light and Dark, two divine elves stood on either side of Ye An.

The referee shouted, "Let Ye An's support enter the field!"

The elevator platform beside Ye An began to tremble.

The divine realm's people stretched their necks to see, curious about what kind of person this other human would be and what abilities he possessed.

Soon after, the platform ascended to its peak, and the figure of Xu Zhiye appeared before everyone.

Instantly, many divine realm spectators felt uncomfortable.

Unlike Ye An, Xu Zhiye was dressed in extremely luxurious attire, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and adorned with decorations that almost none of the divine realm audience could afford.

Born in the main mansion of the High Heaven Domain, his demeanor was impeccable.

He seemed more like a divine realm person than some divine realm people themselves, which deeply offended the divine realm audience.

Son of Light exclaimed, "Why impersonate a divine realm person?"

Xu Zhiye retorted with hands behind his back, "Aren't you all imitating our palace?"

Without giving the other side time to refute, he looked up at the high-speed camera in the sky and calmly said, "Even if this robe is shed, our palace can still maintain the nobility of our soul with strength and morality."

"But once the hypocritical divine realm people strip off the treasures they plundered from other races, all that's left is a dirty husk housing an ugly soul."

The battle was broadcast across myriad realms.

Even the human realm was watching!

Therefore, Xu Zhiye's words were meant for the people to hear!

It had to be admitted that the divine realm, from afar, was indeed too magnificent, resembling a celestial city, while the High Heaven Domain in the human realm seemed like a third-rate town in comparison.

He worried that people would experience a huge psychological gap upon seeing the power of the divine realm.

His worries were not unfounded.

Currently, the human realm had little understanding of the cities and culture of the divine realm. The only thing they could see was this grand and colossal arena before them.

Just the scale of this arena alone brought an unimaginable impact to many.

Xu Zhiye's powerful and resolute words instilled confidence in the people.

Many clenched their fists and lifted their heads.

And they were curious about one thing.

Who was this person?

Until today, Xu Zhiye was a completely unfamiliar name to the people.

Until this moment!

The passionate commentator roared in the broadcast booth, "Just a minute ago, I got all the information about Ye An's assisting companion!"

"This contestant's name is Xu Zhiye!"

"Would you like to know what his identity is!?"

The commentator was so excited that he stood up and shouted, "He's the son of the High Heaven Domain Lord!"

This statement caused many spectators to stand up in astonishment!

"The son of the Northern Realm King!"

"I didn't even know the Lord had children!"

"Like father, like son. This kid can't possibly lose!"

Marshal Ji Shi, with his illustrious achievements, was well-known and respected by all.

The High Heaven Domain Lord had been extremely low-key in recent years, but he was no less formidable in his prime!

Three thousand years ago, he was not yet the High Heaven Domain Lord. During the War of Ascension, he single-handedly defended the northern frontier of the human realm for a full 180 days, without any reinforcements or supplies.

It was only after 180 days that the people of the Heavenly Reckoning were repelled, allowing the human race to catch its breath. After a brief rest and reorganization, they led a large army to the northern border of the human realm!

On that day, amidst the snowy northern border, stood only one person in the sky. Under his feet were the leaders of the dark elves and the light elves of the divine realm.

Light and darkness crumbled beneath him, and the endless blizzard was tinged with the color of blood.

He was born shortsighted, and in his youth, people thought his martial talents were low.

By middle age, he still wore a face of bitterness, looking like he had lived an ordinary and unremarkable life.

Therefore, people who judged others by their appearance always thought Xu Xu was not strong enough.

But according to historical records, one person alone held back the divine elves' large army in the northern frontier for 180 days, which was not Xu Xu's limit. After Lin Ying and others arrived to support, Xu Xu accompanied them for a few days, ensuring that the reinforcements could hold on before quietly leaving.

No one saw Xu Xu smile, but no one saw him cry, and no one saw him fall to the ground.

That year.

Marshal Ji Shi was not yet in power.

Ji Shi was the first general.

Although Xu Xu was under him, many people actually thought he deserved the name of the first general, so they didn't call him the second general, but the King of the Northern Realm!

After the War of Ascension ended, the strong men of the human race were killed and injured, and the situation was dire. Xu Xu, a military officer, was forced to take up the post of High Heaven Domain Lord.

This incident caused chaos on the front lines of the human race at that time.

The Xu Xu faction and the Ji Shi faction quarreled fiercely, with both sides wanting to take the position of the marshal instead of being a silent turtle in the background.

At this moment.

An elderly person in front of the screen watched Xu Xu's son's mature and proud figure, his face full of satisfaction.

People with rich social experience could see that Xu Zhiye was comforting the human race, telling them not to feel inferior just because they saw the splendor of the divine realm; our human realm is not inferior.

At eighteen years old, in a foreign land and under tremendous pressure, he could still speak such words.

Perhaps this is the meaning of inheritance.

On the battlefield.

Ye An suddenly frowned, thinking of something, and asked, "Did your father almost trample their parents to death back then?"

Ye An pointed to the light and dark twins opposite.

Xu Zhiye shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. That's what the books say, but my father never told me those things."

"Huh?" Ye An was puzzled. "The books say so, why are you still uncertain?"

Xu Zhiye said seriously, "Because I feel the words in the book are exaggerated."

"My father doesn't seem that formidable."

"But it doesn't matter, I will be stronger than him!"

When these words came out, the audience in the human realm could only laugh or cry.

But the light and dark twins had their pupils suddenly constricted and asked in unison, "Your father is Xu Xu!?"

"Yes," Xu Zhiye provocatively replied. "So what?"

"Is what the books wrote true?"

"Are your parents really that weak?"

The elements on the light and dark twins suddenly became violent, their anger burning.

Elves were different from humans.

They could inherit memories from their parents' generation, and even empathize with their experiences.

So in their minds, they had images of their parents fighting Xu Xu.

In their memories.

Xu Xu tightly gripped a crimson spear high above his head, smashing his parents and tribesmen like smashing meat pies. After smashing a dark elf, he immediately picked up the elf's corpse and swallowed its elf heart.

For the elves who experienced that battle, Xu Xu was a nightmare.

In their dreams, a monster continuously devoured their tribesmen on the battlefield. Whoever dared to look at him, he turned his head and grinned at them, as if they were his next meal.

That wasn't a human at all; that was a demon!

The name Xu Xu was the nightmare of the entire divine realm elf race.

So this battle was a grudge match, a match to break the nightmare!

The light and dark twins instantly entered battle mode and coldly said, "I request to begin the battle immediately!"
