High above the ancient, mountainous land, a shabby tal cube whizzed through the air.
Above the tal cube, a figure with clown makeup painted on, resembling a puppet, was perched.
"Brother Dong had previously reached a conclusion that this Tianjiao Ranking Battle would be fraught with great variables, extraordinary indeed... I didn’t expect it to be a Food God Feast. I wonder if Brother Dong will make it in ti."
The clown suddenly spoke, his eerie face revealing a strong sense of anticipation.
Swoosh!
A surge of True Yuan energy burst from the shabby tal cube, increasing its speed by fifty percent.
Soon, the clown’s view filled with countless crowds and flying artifacts of various sizes.
Deeper within, waves of True Yuan fluctuations and intense collisions could be heard.
"It should not have ended yet."
The clown’s eyes shone brightly as he rode the tal cube swiftly toward the commotion.
"What’s that thing?"
"Get out of the way!"
Ahead, several people suddenly beca aware of the noise and, turning around, saw the ramshackle tal and a clown heading straight for them, prompting them to dodge imdiately.
Swoosh!
The clown, riding his flying artifact, broke through the crowd and arrived at the scene of the Tianjiao Ranking Battle.
Due to his direct approach, coupled with his peculiar appearance and unusual flying artifact, he imdiately drew the attention of many spectators.
"What kind of oddity is this, dressing up like that?"
"This is the Food God Feast, not a costu ball. What’s he trying to do dressed like that, hahaha!"
Most people took a mocking attitude toward the clown who had suddenly burst in.
"Food God Feast, the rules of the Food God Feast include three levels of seating—upper, middle, and lower..."
The clown looked at the white jade tables and chairs in the square, his eyes gleaming.
"Save an upper seat for Brother Dong."
The clown shouted imdiately and flew over.
Behind him, many people were dumbfounded.
Where did this oddity co from?
Looking foolish and bizarre, he demanded an upper seat just like that!
There were only ten upper seats, occupied by the outstanding talents from various domains. Could this clown oddity possibly take one?
At the Food God Feast, many attendees turned their attention to the situation.
This clown, looking so grotesque, intended to compete for an upper seat?
They felt that there weren’t many real fools in the world; those who dared to challenge them generally had so strength and confidence.
However, to everyone else, the clown was definitely not of that caliber but more like the forr.
"Eh, isn’t that Brother Chen? You’re here too?"
The clown, surveying the upper seats, suddenly spotted Chen Yu.
At once, the gaze of all the geniuses at the Food God Feast fell on Chen Yu; it seed the silly clown had a rather close relationship with Chen Yu.
With Chen Yu seated among the upper seats at the Food God Feast, his strength had already been acknowledged.
They didn’t believe Chen Yu would befriend a fool.
The look in the eyes of the other geniuses at the upper seats toward the clown changed instantaneously, becoming more cautious and solemn.
"Chen Yu, who exactly is this clown? What’s the extent of his strength? Is he weaker or stronger than you?"
Hou Chen was very curious and fired off several questions.
The others looked on as well.
"You’ll see in due ti."
Chen Yu couldn’t be bothered to explain one by one, offering a cryptic response instead.
He had no doubts about the clown’s ability to secure a spot among the top ten seats.
The clown was proficient in too many arts, including chanisms, puppets, and Arrays. If he caught his opponent off guard, he could definitely crush them directly.
"Stop being so mysterious."
Luo Qiui humphed lightly, her gaze slightly disdainful as she glanced at Chen Yu.
Originally, Chen Yu had intended to watch the battle placidly while refining his Secret Pattern Demon Body, not concerning himself with anything else.
But Luo Qiui’s reaction annoyed him a bit.
As a defeated underling, she still seed unwilling to accept defeat.
In fact, Luo Qiui really didn’t accept her defeat. She believed had she been in peak condition, she would never have lost to Chen Yu, nor would her seal have been taken.
She was even more envious of Chen Yu’s achievents at this mont.
"Brother Dong, let analyze for you. Among the ten people present, this one is injured and not yet fully recovered; should be easier to handle!"
Chen Yu, with a slightly mischievous smile, turned to Luo Qiui.
"You..."
Luo Qiui’s eyes widened with indignation, and a naless rage burned in her heart.
"Oh? Since Brother Dong doesn’t know these people, picking anyone would be guesswork, so I’ll take your advice."
Brother Dong gave Chen Yu a deep look.
Then, his gaze rested on Luo Qiui.
"You scoundrel!"
Luo Qiui uttered an angry snort, stood up, and walked out of her seat at the Food God Feast.
After her battle with Chen Yu, her injuries had worsened; by the ti she made it through the second round, they had only recovered by sixty percent.
Yet, as she took her seat at the Food God Feast, her injuries’ self-healing accelerated, and the effects of the Elixir were boosted; by now, she had regained eighty percent of her strength.
Even facing Chen Yu, she believed she had a greater chance of victory.
"Make your move."
Luo Qiui shouted coldly and launched her attack, a chill and sharp ice spike appeared in her hand, slashing through the air with trendous force.
Shwoosh!
A snow-white trail of frosty Sword Qi drew a massive silhouette of an icy aura, the piercing Sword Intent generating a cutting, icy wind through the area.
Boom!
The Sword Qi collided with a loud explosion, and the extre cold fused with the Sword Qi, spread in all directions.
As the ice and snow cleared, a short, stout puppet appeared in front of the clown, seemingly out of nowhere, its arm equipped with an iron plate as big as a door. It protected the clown within, blocking Luo Qiui’s attack.
"A Puppet Master?"
Luo Qiui thought of a profession in her mind.
The next mont, the clown pulled out over a dozen puppets from his storage bag, each looking absurdly mismatched and devoid of any aesthetic sense. If there were a contest for ugliness, they would be unbeatable.
In an instant, more than a dozen puppets sprang into action.
Among them, four spherical puppets fired off a series of silver patterns, connecting with each other to form an Array, trapping Luo Qiui within.
Three square-faced puppets, each with four round holes on their chests, blasted a ball of silver fire and fierce light towards Luo Qiui.
"Scram!"
With a sweep of the ice pick in her hand, Luo Qiui released a white arc of frigid ice, which exploded in an instant. The bone-chilling sharpness of her Sword Qi swept across.
Just then, two puppets holding shields as big as door panels blocked her attack.
Around them, the crowd at Lord Food God’s feast fell into silence, watching the battle unfold.
"This person has incredible ntal control, to be able to manipulate so many puppets at once," remarked the Fallen Moon Venerable.
Praise from him was rare.
"These puppets may look shabby, but they are extraordinary, diverse in kind, with excellent performance and perfect coordination..." Hou Chen observed the battlefield with his clear eyes.
If all these puppets were crafted by the Clown himself, then his puppeteering skills were nothing short of unimaginable. Coupled with his puppet control techniques, he was truly a master-level Puppet Master.
This battle was looking grim for Luo Qiui.
No sooner had one wave settled than another arose!
On another front, the Ape Demon and Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons had almost simultaneously made their appearances.
"Chen Yu, you despicable man, do you dare to battle with !" roared Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons, his voice seething with endless resentnt.
The Ape Demon, who was just about to challenge Chen Yu, paused, slightly startled, and glanced at Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons.
That look sent chills down his spine, bristling his already long hair to stand on end like a hedgehog’s spines.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons’s face and body seem to have sothing writhing on them, making him appear grotesque and ghostly.
Around him, a dark green mist floated, exuding a terrifying aura that silenced all life.
"Let him go first," said the Ape Demon, shrinking back and retreating.
Even in his pri, he was wary of facing the Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons, let alone now in his transford state.
"He..."
Chen Yu looked at the Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons and felt goosebumps all over.
"Hehe, little guy, this man has used the ’Voodoo Evil Centipede,’ not only speeding up the healing of his injuries but also increasing his combat strength," the Red Fla King said, as if he was looking forward to the spectacle.
If Chen Yu hadn’t asked him to deal with the Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons himself, he might not be facing this predicant, so the Red Fla King was sowhat enjoying Chen Yu’s misfortune.
At that mont,
The fight between the Clown and Luo Qiui reached a conclusion.
Luo Qiui was completely overwheld by the Clown’s puppet gang-up tactic!
The Clown carried out a stunning turn-around, seizing an upper-tier seating position.
"Brother Chen, what you said was indeed correct. It seems she is the weakest among your ten," the Clown said with a grin showing his teeth.
At the banquet of Lord Food God, everyone was speechlessly taken aback.
Luo Qiui’s strength was certainly not the weakest among the top ten!
After her defeat, Luo Qiui was so angry she nearly fainted; the Clown had beaten her and now was even insulting her.
"Brother Dong has a gift for you."
The Clown tossed out a glass bottle containing a black elixir.
"What’s the use of this thing?" Chen Yu asked imdiately.
Without an explanation from the Clown, he dared not consu it.
"Chen Yu, are you afraid? Co out and face ," thundered Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons.
He had paid a heavy price using the Voodoo Evil Centipede, all to defeat Chen Yu head-on and let him taste a fate worse than death.
If Chen Yu backed out now in fear, it would not be the result the Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons wanted.
Swoosh!
Chen Yu soared into the air, coldly eyeing the Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons.
The opponent had quickly healed his injuries by so ans, and he seed even more robust than before.
However, Chen Yu’s body was highly resistant to toxins, so he still had a certain degree of confidence.
"Kill!"
Seeing that Chen Yu had stepped forward, the Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons didn’t utter another word and went straight into action.
With an outstretched palm, a surge of dark green poisonous fog billowed behind him, transforming into a dark green Sky-reaching Poison Palm, like the hand of death, reaching out for Chen Yu.
Whoosh!
A blaze of radiant Blood Crystal Fla surged from Chen Yu’s palm.
With a wave of his hand, a layer of the fla shot out, landing on that gigantic dark green poison palm and spreading wildly.
"Eradicate!"
The Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons shouted loudly as more powerful True Yuan of poison exploded from the palm, entangling with the Blood Crystal Fla for a re mont before utterly extinguishing it.
Boom!
The palm strike suddenly plumted down but was broken by a forceful punch that Chen Yu had unexpectedly released, turning into a cloud of poisonous gas that enveloped the heavens and earth.
Whoosh whoosh!
The poison fog rolled, and ordinary winds and True Yuan struggled to disperse it.
When parts of the poison fog touched Chen Yu’s skin, it imdiately disintegrated, and a cold toxin rapidly infiltrated inward, turning everything it touched into decay.
"Such potent poison."
Chen Yu was inwardly shocked.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons’s previous toxic prowess was already formidable; now, unknown ans seed to have drastically increased his poisonous strength.
Even Chen Yu, with his constitution, was swiftly invaded by the poison.
If an average Mid-stage Sky Sea Realm practitioner were to face the Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons now, they would likely be poisoned to death instantly.
While Chen Yu and the Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons were locked in a fierce battle.
"The Eight Sword Saints pay their respects to Lord Food God!"
A deep and aged voice resounded.
A colossal ship flew in from afar, cutting through the surging Yunhai.
