After two consecutive defeats, even the dull-minded Prison Awakening Heavenly King of the Rakshasa Clan realized that this Human Clan Heavenly General nad Taiyi was far more complex than he appeared on the surface.
The opponent not only concealed his strength but is inherently a person of extraordinary talent. If he continued to deploy comparable Rakshasa Clan powerhouses against him, the outco would likely be the sa as that of Chi Feng and Chi Commander.
Therefore, the Prison Awakening Heavenly King’s gaze swept over the many Rakshasa Clan powerhouses behind him. While there were several Heavenly Generals he favored, it was already the third round, and not winning ant losing face entirely. Additionally, with each defeat, he had to pay substantial benefits to that Divine Might Heavenly King.
The Rakshasa Clan couldn’t afford to lose, nor could he.
Then, the Prison Awakening Heavenly King directed his gaze towards a distinguished Rakshasa Clan Heavenly General beside him.
"Your Highness San Ye, I believe this matter requires your personal intervention."
This Rakshasa Clan Heavenly General nad San Ye was unique. He was of the Rakshasa Royal Family, and his father was a Rakshasa Emperor. Although the Rakshasa Emperor had many offspring, he did not stand out, but the enhancent of royal family bloodline endowed San Ye with unparalleled terrifying strength.
This ti appearing on the World Boat was purely a coincidence.
Moreover, San Ye wasn’t the type of pampered heir; he often traveled alone on the World Boat through the Heavenly Realm, honing his skills, all for the sake of quickly becoming a Heavenly King.
Only by becoming a Heavenly King could he inherit part of the Rakshasa Emperor’s fiefdom, resources, and wealth.
The Prison Awakening Heavenly King also evaluated him, indicating that unless there was an unexpected setback, San Ye would undoubtedly breakthrough to the Heavenly King Level within a hundred years - he was a royal Rakshasa with infinite potential.
"Prison Awakening Heavenly King, those under your command are mostly veterans. Although each is experienced and battle-hardened, they lack sharpness and have exhausted their potential. If you think they can battle a Human Clan prodigy, you are overestimating them," San Ye said with a smile at this mont. "If they could defeat a prodigy-like figure, they wouldn’t be stuck at the Heavenly General Level for so long, and would have likely broken through by now."
"You are a Heavenly King; don’t you understand this reasoning?"
The gaze of the Prison Awakening Heavenly King flickered; he certainly understood San Ye’s aning. The Heavenly King Realm presents a barrier in the Heavenly Realm that has impeded countless cultivators all their lives.
Just like in a sea area within the Ruins, the king stands alone while all others are soldiers and generals.
To beco a Heavenly King is to be one in a million.
He was once a young prodigy within the Rakshasa Clan, surpassing many elder Heavenly Generals, and by coincidence managed to breakthrough to beco a Heavenly King.
Both Chi Feng and Chi Commander were not dazzling, and their strength was honed over ti. Yet so things cannot be accumulated by ti alone.
"If Taiyi is not eliminated today, his future growth will certainly beco a calamity for our Rakshasa Clan. I, too, understand his exceptional nature, but this ti I’ve made an agreent with that Divine Might Heavenly King, therefore I have to rely on veteran generals under my command. If Your Highness San Ye is willing to step forward and eliminate him, I am willing to gift you my Heavenly King Soldier."
The Prison Awakening Heavenly King spoke again, also aware that enticing His Highness San Ye to act would require significant benefits.
Currently, he is tasked with investigating the disappearance of Powerful Heavenly King and Princess Manluo. If not handled properly and a satisfactory result isn’t produced, he would face difficulty upon return.
"Your words are too courteous; we are of the sa clan. Now that outsiders are causing trouble, I am obliged to contribute," San Ye said with a smile as he stood up. "Let take the third round. I hope Taiyi’s strength is as impressive as it seems, or I will be disappointed."
He agreed to take action, and a deal was struck between the two.
At this mont, Jidu, one of the previously departed Boat Protection Team leaders, returned, seeking the spoils from the victory of the second round.
This ti, the Prison Awakening Heavenly King handed them over readily; he was already severely defeated and indifferent at this point.
In the next round, he aid to win everything back in one breath.
After taking the treasure, Jidu rely chuckled before returning to report.
Despite the two consecutive victories yielding a significant gain, the face of the Divine Might Heavenly King was not joyful. He remarked, "As I suspected, this Prison Awakening Heavenly King plans to invite a Rakshasa powerhouse with royal bloodline to fight."
"So, this third round is pivotal. If Taiyi can win, the Rakshasa Clan will face a situation where they have no capable candidates, then they’ll either have to pay up or abandon the boat; paying is to give away, abandoning ans all efforts are lost."
"I hope Taiyi can withstand this last wave of pressure and not perish in the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm."
He finished speaking and then casually waved a hand, sending a jade bottle into the hand of Dragon Girl Yushang nearby.
"Here are the spoils from Taiyi’s second round victory; take them," said the Divine Might Heavenly King, like others of the Heavenly God Clan, keeping his word, for to them a divine promise is as good as golden.
Breaking promises equates to degrading one’s Heavenly God Clan identity.
Dragon Girl Yushang accepted the jade bottle. Considering the previous winnings, Li Yi had already earned four pounds of Nine Heavens Divine Water, an enormous sum for a Heavenly General.
At this mont.
Inside the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm, after winning the second round of battle, the secret realm opened another small door for Li Yi. Divine light, accompanied by endless Spiritual Energy, poured down to heal his injuries and replenish his Mana.
Though the second round was sowhat draining, it still wasn’t significant for Li Yi.
He only rembered the words of the Divine Might Heavenly King, that the third match would be the toughest. Having lost two rounds, the Rakshasa Clan would surely be desperate by now, and they would definitely send their strongest Heavenly General to ensure an unmistakable victory.
At this mont, Li Yi sat calmly atop the white Xiangyun, receiving the baptism of Divine Light. While recovering his mana, he was also secretly preparing.
He understood that once he entered the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm, it wouldn’t be so easy to leave. The first two battles were rely warm-ups; the true challenges lay ahead. Therefore, Li Yi had conserved a portion of his power from the start.
"There’s no need to hide in the third match. I’ll use the Five-Colored Divine Light in conjunction with the True Dragon Heaven-Fighting Technique to swiftly kill the opponent’s strongest fighter, making the Rakshasa Clan back off."
Li Yi was now fully prepared.
If he didn’t show his worth now, how could the Divine Might Heavenly King protect him?
Although the Divine Might Heavenly King was also driven by self-interest, Li Yi didn’t mind as long as it helped him through this crisis. Once he found an opportunity to leave, couldn’t he roam freely across the vast Heavenly Realm?
Soon.
The gates of the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm opened once again.
A figure quickly flew toward them, exuding an extraordinary presence. Despite his sinister, Evil Ghost-like face, he had an innate nobility, and the dense Rakshasa Power surrounding him was sowhat terrifying.
Moreover, the two horns on his forehead were red and gold, completely different from any Rakshasa he’d seen before.
"A master from the Rakshasa Royal Family?" At this mont, Li Yi had a rough guess of the opponent’s identity.
Such a unique individual must be from the Rakshasa Royal Family, as ntioned by the Divine Might Heavenly King.
"Human Clan Taiyi, you’re impressive, having slain two of our Rakshasa Clan’s old warriors. But your luck ends here. Dying at the hands of our Rakshasa Royal Family today will be a glory for you." As San Ye’s figure appeared, he sneered.
"Big talk, but you’ll still die in the end." Li Yi glanced at him. "Royal Family? Win first, then boast. If you can’t win, you’re just a pile of mud, a stray on the roadside."
"Haha, you have quite a sharp tongue, but that’s fine. I’m not angry. In fact, the thought of twisting your head off soon fills with an indescribable excitent," San Ye laughed.
He didn’t dislike this human in front of him; rather, he was excited by the prospect of fighting a strong enemy.
Rakshasas are naturally bloodthirsty and battle-loving; being from the Royal Family, he was no exception.
Ordinary opponents didn’t interest him; only those exceptionally talented were worth his personal attention.
"Stop laughing, your canine teeth are showing. Worried others won’t know you bite?" Li Yi said calmly.
With these words, San Ye’s smile faded, "Interesting. I’ve traversed the Heavenly Realm for years, and it’s my first ti eting a human with such a sharp tongue. But using words to provoke is a low tactic; it doesn’t work on ."
"Provoke you? Don’t misunderstand; I never intended to provoke you. I just wanted to curse you because soon you’ll be dead, and I won’t be able to curse then," Li Yi said.
"You like to talk; go on then. Consider it your last words," San Ye said calmly, his entire body radiating red light as if wearing a blood-red armor.
This was the Rakshasa Power within him, and being of the Royal Family, his Rakshasa Power was several tis stronger than that of ordinary Rakshasas. With this power alone, he could easily defeat a Heavenly General of the sa realm.
And Rakshasa Power was rely the bloodline power of the Rakshasa Clan. In addition, his mana was overwhelmingly formidable, supplented by the power of his Primordial Spirit, pushing his strength to astonishing levels.
"Indeed, quite extraordinary,"
Li Yi also sensed this unusual power in his opponent, and his expression grew solemn. But this ti, he also had no intention of holding back. As to who would erge victorious, it was all up to their skills.
Their brief standoff sparked discussion among the cultivators within the World Boat.
"As expected, a master from the Rakshasa Royal Family is making a move. I knew it, given the Rakshasa Clan’s deanor. After losing two rounds, they’d be desperate. They must win this third round against Human Clan Taiyi at all costs."
"I recognize that Rakshasa Royalty; he’s called San Ye. He often travels the Heavenly Realm and enjoys challenging masters from various clans. Rumor has it he has potential to break into the Heavenly King level."
"I don’t care who wins or loses, I just want to place a bet and win big. This ti, I’m betting on the Rakshasa Royal Family. Human Clan Taiyi has already exposed the Bloodline Power of Purple Thunder; I’m guessing he’s running out of steam, and will likely die terribly in the third round."
"Not necessarily. Human Clan Taiyi’s strength is unfathomable. If he dared to enter the Life and Death Hell Secret Realm, he must have sothing to rely on."
There were those who thought Li Yi would lose, as well as those who believed he still had so hidden strength to show.
However, many strong cultivators within the World Boat were intensely focused on the outco of the third round, as it was a rare battle between a mber of the Rakshasa Royal Family and a prodigy from the Human Clan.
"If this Taiyi can win this match, he would be qualified to join the Thunder Departnt," a Heavenly General from the Thunder Departnt thought to himself.
If he wins this match, he’ll approach him.
As for the Boat Protection Team and the Rakshasa Clan, who wouldn’t give face to the Thunder Departnt?
