Chapter 1080: Renown in the Imperial City

The Elder, as if he knew Ye Liuyun, called out his name directly.

"Alright, Brave Fierce King Ye Liuyun, please step onto the stage!"

Then he asked, "Which handsome hero wishes to duel the Brave Fierce King?"

"Damn the Brave Fierce King, only at the Fourth Layer of Sixfold Creation! I don't believe in luck, I'll fight him!"

A massive, hulking man sprang up and headed to the arena.

"Welcome Prince True Essence's son Qiu Ziming, to face the Brave Fierce King Ye Liuyun."

When Qiu Ziming stepped onto the stage, the Elder announced the start of the match.

"Just because you're a kid at the Fourth Layer of Sixfold Creation, you're not fit to be a Prince…"

Qiu Ziming was at the Sixth Layer of Sixfold Creation, but before the sentence finished, "Puff!"—his whole body exploded in the air, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

His Soul was also pulled by Ye Liuyun into his own Sixfold Creation domain.

"What's happening? He's dead already?"

"That's ruthless! Not even a whole corpse left!"

"Tell me, will Prince True Essence go after Ye Liuyun for revenge?"

The crowd, seeing this scene, whispered among themselves below.

Ye Liuyun thought Qiu Ziming's words were too harsh, so he dealt the ruthless blow.

Moreover, he originally intended to kill everyone who dared step onto the stage, to embarrass Emperor Xia.

Thus his attacks were as steady, precise, and ruthless as possible.

After observing with his Golden Pupil, he found Qiu Ziming's strength was average, and directly used spatial power to crush his body.

Emperor Xia gave a meaning‑laden smile, saying nothing.

He also saw that Ye Liuyun was angry, intending to keep him from leaving the stage.

"Next!" Ye Liuyun said calmly to the chief judge Elder.

Before the chief judge could ask, someone stepped onto the stage voluntarily.

"I'll go!" another young man stepped forward.

"The son of the Marquis of Pingnan, Qiong Hai, challenges the Brave Fierce King Ye Liuyun. The match begins!"

Before the Elder could utter 'begin', Qiong Hai already drew his long sword, ready to strike.

However, as soon as his sword rose, a blade appeared in Ye Liuyun's hand. He hadn't even cultivated a sword‑intent seed, so he was naturally no match for Ye Liuyun,

One slash, and his flesh and blood were scattered by Ye Liuyun.

Ah—

The timid female spectators shrieked. The scene was indeed rather bloody.

But Ye Liuyun wanted exactly this effect, to intimidate them so they wouldn't dare step onto the stage.

Yet he underestimated the courage of the young people in the Imperial City. Contestants kept coming one after another, and their realms kept rising.

Even some in the audience swayed public opinion, claiming Ye Liuyun intended to sweep away all the Imperial City's talented youths.

Thus these people became even more eager to step onto the stage.

"This kid is too reckless! Even if we're exhausted, we'll wear him out to death; we can't let him succeed."

Ye Liuyun on the stage guessed this was Emperor Xia's scheming, so his attacks grew increasingly ruthless.

He fought seven or eight bouts, each ending with a single move, leaving not even a whole corpse.

"This kid's moves are too ruthless!"

"If you're not ruthless, you can't unify Moyu, right? Looks like this Brave Fierce King isn't simple!"

After Ye Liuyun used thunderous tactics to eliminate seven or eight opponents, everyone realized that stepping onto the stage was a life‑or‑death battle, so future challengers acted much more cautiously.

"Let me have a go at Prince Ye!"

A young man who looked very refined stood up and courteously bowed his hands to Ye Liuyun.

However, Ye Liuyun gave no response at all.

Anyone daring to step onto the stage, he had no intention of letting them leave alive; pretended courtesy was useless.

And this challenger was obviously very hypocritical, trying to make Ye Liuyun lower his guard.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had already detected that this person's Soul power was great.

So at the start of the match, that person unleashed his primary Soul, attacking Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

His prideful Spiritual Soul Attack was immediately suppressed and absorbed by the Ten Thousand Gods Command within Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, using Soul power to pull his secondary Soul into his own Sixfold Creation domain.

At the same time, his Golden Pupil flashed, and Golden Crow Holy Fire surged forward, instantly turning his Physical Body to ash.

Sss!

The audience collectively inhaled a cold breath, feeling that Ye Liuyun was overly cruel.

But many people no longer dared to step onto the stage.

At this moment, someone stepped forward onto the arena.

He was suffused with Demon Qi; he turned out to be a Demon Cultivator.

After stepping onto the stage, he voiced many people's thoughts.

"Ye, it's just a contest, your methods are too ruthless, aren't they? Do you really intend to slaughter all the Imperial City's geniuses?"

"Heh heh, if you can represent the Imperial City's geniuses, I wouldn't mind eradicating them."

This person originally possessed the Ninth Layer of Sixfold Creation, so Ye Liuyun should not be his opponent.

Unfortunately, he is a Demon Cultivator.

Ye Liuyun unhesitatingly unleashed his Sixfold Creation domain, trapping him inside.

"Ha ha, Creation Domain? You're only at the fourth Creation tier, and you still dare compare your Creation Domain with mine?" the Demon Cultivator laughed heartily.

But before he could finish laughing, he realized something was wrong.

"How come there are three Guardian God Seals inside your Creation Domain?"

But by the time he reacted, it was already too late. The three Guardian God Seals launched an attack on him simultaneously.

He hurriedly unleashed his own Creation Domain.

However, his Demon Qi was directly absorbed by the Guardian God Seal of the Buddha‑Demon Golden Body, which then converted it into Buddha Light Power and struck back at him.

With the assistance of the Primordial War God and the Golden Dragon, the Demon Cultivator was blown to pieces.

At that moment, Emperor Xia saw that Ye Liuyun's Creation Domain contained a Primordial War God, and he was startled, beginning to ponder.

Next, contestants kept stepping onto the arena. Some used Monster Beasts, some wielded divine artifacts, each displaying their prowess.

Ye Liuyun mostly used the Vajra Divine Bow to shoot down his opponents.

His clones, cloaked in Invisibility Cloaks, were released to assist him in using Spiritual Soul Attacks against the ferocious beasts summoned by others.

For most high‑ranked ferocious beasts, the clones directly hunted them with Spiritual Soul Attacks, though others could not see him.

Thus, none of the contestants met a good end; Ye Liuyun's various attacks left them flustered, and ultimately none escaped death.

Ye Liuyun never gave them a chance to surrender; he seized any opening to deliver a killing blow.

In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty people had died on the arena.

Ye Liuyun, however, remained calm on the arena and continued, "Next!"

The crowd below, for the most part, were also stunned by Ye Liuyun.

"This kid is just too ruthless!"

"Indeed! Truly worthy of being called a king!"

Even the Fourth Prince, Xia Tianqiong, and others familiar with him considered themselves no match for him.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul Power and Spatial Power alone were beyond their ability to counter.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun often combines these powers, making it effortless to slay ordinary Martial Cultivators.
