Chapter 914: KILLING THE STAR-DEVOURER (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

I Ang, clad in silver armor, also exclaimed in surprise:

"I never expected our final Jinji slot would go to a Star-Devourer."

"Lin Qi, congratulations on acquiring such a powerful pet."

"It could easily compete for the title of our race's strongest pet."

"So powerful, and it even killed geniuses from the five races—what an enviable talent."

Jinjia Lei Wen also enviously said: "Your duo will surely become famous throughout the entire universe."

Lin Qi looked at Star-Devourer Watching Xiaotian in surprise—he had never held high expectations for Watching Xiaotian.

Because Watching Xiaotian was not in its best state.

Yet it somehow made it into the Top 168.

If given another three thousand years, it might truly challenge the top ten.

Lin Qi patted Star-Devourer Watching Xiaotian's head and said:

"Your next opponent will be stronger—if you face one you cannot defeat…"

"Just surrender immediately. Don't be foolish."

Star-Devourer Watching Xiaotian nodded seriously and transmitted a thought: "I understand, Master."

Lin Qi nodded, his gaze shifting to the other geniuses; on the large screen, only 168 green leaves remained.

That was the 168 qualified geniuses.

In the just-concluded fifth round, an astonishing nine geniuses perished.

And with each round's conclusion, the number of deaths continues to rise.

A thick stench of blood now hung in the air.

No one could be certain whether they themselves would die in the next round.

Many geniuses frantically healed their wounds.

Time passed slowly; six hours later,

Most geniuses had fully recovered, and Star-Devourer Watching Xiaotian was completely restored.

It had devoured the royal bloodline of the demon race, the Crimson Fire Ape—not only healing all its injuries, but also greatly strengthening its power.

The green-robed Elder Tree from the ceiling spoke again:

"The fourth round of the Ten-Thousand Races Arena has ended. Now we proceed to the fifth round."

"We still urge all geniuses to prioritize your own lives."

"I declare the fifth round of the Ten-Thousand Races Arena officially begun!"

No sooner had he finished than a green vortex reappeared, enveloping the 168 contestants and beginning to teleport them.

……

In the vast palace courtyard,

Lin Qi, clad in Dark Yao armor, materialized and swiftly locked onto his opponent for this round.

"Roar!"

This time, his opponent revealed its true form—a massive body.

It was a colossal beast, ten thousand meters long and several kilometers tall, like a living mountain range, its body forged as if tempered by magma.

Its spine bristled with jagged, rock-like thorns like a chain of volcanoes.

Its entire body was covered in dark crimson magma patterns, with molten orange lava surging between the fissures.

Its belly was layered with thick, brown armor plates.

Its head resembled a meteorite coated in magma.

Earth-yellow and magma-red patterns glowed across its body.

The laws of Earth and Fire had already been unleashed.

The colossal presence brought an overwhelming pressure.

It was a demon race Star-Devourer.

The Star-Devourer race was a unique existence among demons, with the fewest numbers.

Even rarer than the Dragon race, they could not survive independently.

Their top-tier combat power also fell short of the Dragon race's, forcing them to rely on the demon race for survival.

Otherwise, they would have chosen independence—this alone reveals their talent.

Every Star-Devourer begins with only two elemental affinities.

Ten elements combine and arrange in various ways.

This one was a combination of Earth and Fire laws.

Among the demon race, it ranked among the top-tier geniuses.

But like Watching Xiaotian, it appeared young, its combat power still far from peak, yet it had entered the Abyssal Relic anyway.

The Star-Devourer Igol, its head like a meteorite, fixed its magma-and-earth-burning eyes on Lin Qi.

It opened its massive jaws and roared:

"Lin Qi of the human race, in this battle, I will devour you."

"How dare you enslave one of our Star-Devourer kind? You deserve to die!"

Its voice, amplified like a megaphone, formed a powerful sonic wave that engulfed the entire palace, stirring violent winds.

Lin Qi, before the Star-Devourer Igol, seemed as tiny as an ant.

Its colossal body loomed over the sky, casting vast shadows, as if stirring primal fear within.

Yet Lin Qi's expression remained calm; he even smiled:

"Watching Xiaotian is doing very well with me."

"He has even entered the Top 168, and is now stronger than you."

"He has lived less than a thousand years—how long have you lived?"

Igol fell silent—she had lived over three thousand years since birth.

Among Star-Devourers, she was still very young, barely a child.

Star-Devourers lived long lives—one hundred times longer than humans.

Their massive bodies required immense time to mature.

Yet their combat power was extraordinarily formidable.

After a moment of silence, the Star-Devourer Igol roared:

"Don't change the subject. None of this changes your inevitable death."

Lin Qi shook his head: "The one who will die is you."

As the two exchanged words, the green screen above revealed new information:

【Ten-Thousand Races Arena: Lin Qi (Human) vs. Igol (Demon)】

……

The green-robed Elder Tree also announced:

"The battle begins!"

"Roar~"

A thunderous roar filled the hundred-kilometer palace hall—the battle officially began.

"Boom!!"

Magma-colored patterns flared across the Star-Devourer Igol's body; the two elemental laws erupted from it.

It was the only genius among all contestants who had not yet mastered Spatial Law.

Yet with its two elemental laws amplified by its colossal body, its power remained terrifying.

In the Golden Staircase rankings, its position was not high.

But its combat power was exceptionally fearsome—it had already defeated and devoured many geniuses ranked higher than itself.

Its domain unleashed.

A crimson, heavy domain made the space unbearably dense.

Lin Qi felt it, but it affected him little.

"Boom!!"

Powerful domain energy also erupted from him.

His Purple-Gold domain clashed with the Star-Devourer's.

At the same realm, domain effects were less decisive.

Moreover, the Star-Devourer Igol possessed only two elemental laws.

He possessed three—once all three were unleashed,

they instantly suppressed the Star-Devourer Igol.

Unmatched sharpness and furious thunderous power, wrapped in his domain, engulfed the palace.

"Roar!"

The Star-Devourer Igol raised its pillar-like forelimb and slammed it down upon the earth.

"Crash!!"

The palace floor violently trembled.

Simultaneously, countless earth-yellow particles materialized out of thin air.
