Ye Yuan nodded his head and said indifferently, "I naturally know. I haven't fought a single match in the third level yet, so my ranking should be very far back. On the name list are all top 100 martial artists. I should have the qualifications to challenge."
Asura Mode was known as Suicide Mode in the Asura Arena!
Martial artists who proposed activating the Asura Mode could only challenge people ranked higher than them. The number of people challenged had to be no less than 20. One must kill all of these 20 people in 24 hours, which was also within a day, before considering challenging Asura Mode to be successful and directly obtain the qualifications to advance to the next level.
If one did not complete the task within the designated time, they would be directly blotted out by the Asura Arena!
This was a rule compelling slaughter within the Asura Arena. The ones being challenged had to accept the challenge straight away and were not to decline for any reason.
Normally, if there wasn't deep-seated hatred, nobody would propose activating Asura Mode at all.
Of course, some bloodthirsty people with formidable strength who wanted to advance to the next level as soon as possible, as well as to collect sufficient Slaughter Concept, would also activate this mode.
However, those able to complete this mission in the Asura Arena were extremely, extremely few!
In these 30 thousand years, only a mere two people completed the Asura Mode.
And the martial artists that these two people challenged, without exception, were only martial artists 20 places higher than them.
Those who survived in the Asura Arena were all not simple people. Wanting to battle across 20 ranks was a very challenging matter.
Even if one really had that strength, wanting to kill 20 opponents within a day, one's essence energy was simply insufficient to support it.
Generally, those who activate Asura Mode all had deep-seated hatred and were hell-bent on dooming the other party to death. Furthermore, it was under the circ.u.mstances where the other party did not accept the challenge.
Because under the situation where the difference in strength was not big, wanting to kill the opponent on the fighting arena was very difficult. As long as the other party admitted defeat, it could not continue anymore.
Want to kill the enemy, there was only using this sort of deathmatch! Points gamble fight required the other party to accept the challenge before it could be carried out. Therefore, this Asura Mode was the only avenue for those who had formed an irreconcilable grudge.
Of course, one generally paid the price with their own deaths, even if you killed the opponent.
The gray-robed middle-aged man took a look at the name list, his expression could not help changing, as he said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, I know that your strength is decent, but are you sure that you want to challenge Yan Shan and Bai Meng? The two of them, their strengths are probably not beneath yours! If you're unable to kill them within 24 hours, you'll be directly obliterated by the Asura Arena!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Do I look like I'm joking? Get started!"
The gray-robed middle-aged man's expression changed several times, but he finally heaved a long sigh, turned around, and left.
"Ye Yuan activated Asura Mode. Hua Jun, Wan Ziheng … Yan Shan, Bai Meng!"
Up in the third level's sky, a melodious female voice sounded out, immediately stirring up a commotion.
"Somebody activated Asura Mode! Someone activated Asura Mode! Ye Yuan? Who is Ye Yuan?"
"Your news is also too out of touch! Ye Yuan is the man of the hour in the first level and the second level these days. He's a formidable person who directly got a wipeout in the first level and brutally pummeled Leng Qing in the second level!"
"Being extraordinary at the first and second level, can he also be extraordinary when he reached the third level too? Leng Qing can't even rank into the top hundred when placed in the third level, this boy has lost his mind, right?"
"En? You listen … He wants to c-challenge Yan Shan! B-Bai Meng! Crazy! This guy is utterly insane!"
Someone activating Asura Mode was a piece of big news to begin with, but this person actually directly challenged the third level's number one person! This was an even more explosive major news!
All at once, the entire third level burst into an uproar!
Those martial artists all put down the matters in their hands, and all sprinted to the fighting arena one by one.
This kind of great battle was not a common occurrence.
...
Inside a restaurant in the third level, several people were currently drinking large bowls of wine and eating meat in large mouthfuls.
The voice sounding out, one person said, "Hua Jun, somebody wants to challenge you! Asura Mode! Tsk tsk, you got to be careful!"
Hua Jun's expression changed, and he immediately burst into laughter and said, "Where did this fool come from, becoming tired of living at this time! Boss, save this table of alcohol for this Lord. Wait until I kill that blind punk, I'll come back and carry on drinking!"
...
Inside a top-tier cultivation chamber, Wan Ziheng slowly opened his eyes when he heard this pleasant-sounding voice, and slowly walked out of the cultivation chamber.
...
Inside a room, a man and a woman were currently having a 'flesh-to-flesh great battle' when a pleasant-sounding voice echoed.
"Goddammit! What a bummer! Go, go to the side, wait until this Lord kills that blind punk! I'll come back and continue!"
The man kicked the woman to the corner with one foot and swiftly wore his clothes and sped out of the door.
...
The same thing happened in every corner of the third level.
When these people heard the summons, they all did not dare to disregard it, hurrying to the fighting arena one by one.
A short one hour's time and the third level's fighting arena was packed full with people.
In the center of the fighting arena, a youth stood with his hands behind his back. He was currently resting with his eyes shut, quietly waiting for his opponents' arrival.
"Hey, did you all discover or not? The opponents that this Ye Yuan is challenging are all in Exalt Heavenly Hedonist and Exalt Blazing Fire, these two people's camps."
"Like that needed you to say it? But this boy's head definitely has a problem. Even if challenging these two mighty exalts' camps, he should also pick the soft persimmons to squeeze! You look at the people he's challenging; all powerhouses ranked in the top hundred of the Earth Carnage Proclamation!"
"This boy still has some ability. He allegedly beat Leng Qing until he could not raise his head in the second level."
"So what? Leng Qing's ranking is merely around 150th place. The Earth Carnage Proclamation's top hundred martial artists are much stronger than the 150th place! Even if this boy has Earth Carnage Proclamation top hundred strength as well, can he kill these 20 people within a day's time? In my opinion, this boy is tired of living, to actually activate Suicide Mode!"
"What do you know? I heard that this brat has some friendly relation with Demon King. Don't you know that the Demon King was beaten to an inch of his life several days ago by Yan Shan? This boy is definitely here to take revenge for Demon King!"
The fighting had yet to begin, but inside the fighting arena was already clamoring with discussions.
Regardless of what reason Ye Yuan was doing it for, activating Asura Mode was no different from committing suicide too.
Yan Shan already arrived. He looked at Ye Yuan, a hint of a cold sneer hung at the corners of his mouth.
Right at this time, a disturbance stirred in the fighting arena. A young man dressed in white slowly stepped into the fighting arena.
Chapter 889 - Kill Until Blood Runs Cold
"It's Bai Meng! He entered closed-seclusion for quite a few months this time. Right now, his strength is probably even more unfathomable, right?"
"They are all discussing that the next time the E
arth Carnage Proclamation comes out, Bai Meng will probably be reaching the summit!"
"No idea where Ye Yuan's courage came from, to actually dare challenge Bai Meng. This kind of suicide style is seriously too heroic."
Bei Meng's appearance caused a considerable sensation.
He ranked third on the Earth Carnage Proclamation and first place on the Asura Arena's third level. His strength was incomparably formidable.
Even if one activated Asura Mode, no one would be foolish enough to go and challenge him. Yet, Ye Yuan did that.
In the eyes of everyone, he was naturally a fool.
Bai Meng's might was deeply-rooted in people's hearts. Even if Ye Yuan's battle results were glorious, it was also not possible to take his place.
Moreover, under the Asura Mode, whether Ye Yuan could live to see Bai Meng or not was a matter worth discussing.
Yan Shan glanced at Bai Meng, his eyes showing some dread as well. Clearly, he was incredibly wary of Bei Meng.
Ye Yuan challenging Yan Shan in order to take revenge on Demon King's behalf, this was justifiable. But challenging Bai Meng, that was purely seeking death.
The people being challenged all turned up. The gray-robed middle-aged man came to the center of the fighting arena and opened his mouth to say, "Ye Yuan is challenging the Asura Mode. It officially starts now! The first battle, Hua Jun!"
Hua Jun came in front of Ye Yuan with an amused look and said with a cold smile, "Boy, you really don't know how high the heaven is, and how thick the earth is. Today, let your Grandpa Hua come and teach you …"
Hua Jun was talking halfway when a stream of light in Ye Yuan's hand flashed and disappeared. Hua Jun's voice cut off abruptly.
"Next!"
Ye Yuan's nonchalant voice sounded out, like the curse of a death god, making the fully occupied field of martial artists feel a chill run down their backs.
"Spout …"
Fresh blood gushed out like a fountain. Hua Jun had yet to figure out what was going on and already went to meet King Yama.
Adding it all up, it was less than a second.
This sword was swift like lighting. Everyone did not react to it. They also completely did not expect that Ye Yuan actually did not even say hello and directly drew his sword to kill people!
Too unreasonable! Too arrogant!
With a thud, Hua Jun collapsed onto the ground and breathed his last, leaving only behind fountain like blood still spraying wildly.
"Dumb*ss! Once the Asura Mode starts, that's a life and death match! He actually still had time to talk rubbish with that punk!" Yan Shan said with a solemn face.
Regarding Ye Yuan's one-hit-certain-kill, Yan Shan did not mind. Killing someone at Hua Jun's level, he could similarly do it.
"Next one, Wan Ziheng!" The gray-robed middle-aged man's voice sounded out once again, icy cold without the slightest emotion.
But in the depths of his eyes, a hint of astonishment still flickered across.
Other people could not see through, but he perceived it. This move of Ye Yuan's earlier was not some brilliant martial technique, but the not-considered-profound divine soul mystic art, Sword Driving Technique!
The Sword Driving Technique was not considered very brilliant for divine soul mystic arts. But Ye Yuan killed an Earth Carnage Proclamation's top hundred expert skillfully without much effort. How powerful a foundation did this require?
The way the gray-robed middle-aged man saw it, Ye Yuan chose the most effort-saving and effective way to kill off the opponent.
This also indicated that Ye Yuan's control of battles was precise to the extreme!
Such an adversary was truly very frightening!
The moment Wan Ziheng took the field, Ye Yuan suddenly erupted, rumbling over towards him with a punch.
Wan Ziheng's expression changed. Without even thinking, it was a palm when he raised his hand.
Boom!
Wan Ziheng was smashed flying ruthlessly, slamming onto the grand array, and no longer breathed.
"Next!" Ye Yuan's voice was still ripple-less like an ancient well, not carrying the slightest hint of emotion.
But regardless whether was it the surrounding martial artists, or the targets being challenged, they all could not smile.
If let's say there were still suspicions of a surprise attack for Hua Jun, then Wan Ziheng was a frontal-battle. Ye Yuan directly annihilated Wan Ziheng with absolute, tyrannical strength!
They never would have thought that Ye Yuan was actually fearsome to this sort of extent!
"Next, Cao Chen!"
"Next …"
The gray-robed middle-aged man announced name after name. These people's strength were each stronger than the other. But under Ye Yuan's hands, their best situation also did not pass three moves!
"T-Too strong! How can this brat be so powerful?"
"Those are all top experts on the Earth Carnage Proclamation! They actually can't even survive three moves under Ye Yuan's hands!"
"Who freaking said that this brat was here to commit suicide? This guy is clearly a killing god himself!"
The martial artists on the grandstand were all incomparably shocked. Looking at those legendary figures fall down one by one, their hearts twitched repeatedly, and actually somewhat could not breathe anymore.
While those challenge targets not yet called, each and every one of their faces became incomparably ugly.
To be able to reach their level, which one did not have a heart of stone? But seeing people whose strength were roughly around the same as theirs collapse one by one, that sort of impact was still too intense.
They … were afraid!
Ye Yuan's incomparably overbearing method of killing made each and every one of them feel terror!
"Next, Guo Ziming!"
Being called, Guo Ziming trembled without rhyme or reason, and actually kept on did not dare to step forward.
"Next, Guo Ziming!"
Guo Ziming's Earth Carnage Proclamation ranking was 53rd place; around the same as Sun Qi. This was already considered a very impressive existence among Heaven Enlightenment Realms.
But facing such a powerful Ye Yuan, he actually did not dare to take a step forward!
Only to see him shudder all over, not daring to stride a foot out at all.
"Next, Guo Ziming! Ten breaths of time, still not taking the stage, you'll be blotted out!" The gray-robed middle-aged man's voice sounded out a third time.
Guo Ziming quivered and involuntarily took a step forward.
It was just that after this one step, he still did not dare to go forward.
Bang!
After ten breaths, Guo Ziming's entire person blew up. Very clearly, he was directly obliterated by the Asura Arena.
Seeing this scene, people's expressions became even uglier.
Being killed was not scary. But this feeling of waiting to be killed was seriously too distressing.
"Next, Qi Hao!" The gray-robed middle-aged man's countenance did not change in the slightest and continued to call the next name.
Qi Hao's expression darkened. Seeing Guo Ziming's wretched state, he did not dare to deliberately delay anymore, arriving in front of Ye Yuan with a leap.
Ye Yuan did not have the intention of talking crap. It was the Sword Driving Technique the moment he made his move.
Qi Hao's strength was not what Hua Jun could compare to. His figure flashed, and he directly avoided this sword.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
After one attack, Qi Hao completely refused to come into contact with Ye Yuan. He intentionally pulled apart the distance from Ye Yuan in order to not give Ye Yuan any opportunity that could be taken advantage of.
Very clearly, he wanted to use this sort of method to delay the time.
"Humph! If I don't fight you head-on, even if your strength is any greater, what can you do to me?" Qi Hao laughed coldly in his heart.
But the next instant, his expression instantly froze on his face.
Und
er Ye Yuan's Origin Magnetic Field, his figure abruptly turned languish. After that, he was no longer alive.
"Want to kill my, Ye Yuan's, brother, you'll have to be mentally prepared to get killed!" Ye Yuan's words seethed with killing intent, making everyone shudder at it.
Chapter 890 - True King Bloodline
Fighting, not his match! Fleeing, nowhere to run!
Apart from Bai Meng and Yan Shan, the gazes the rest of the people looked at Ye Yuan with were filled with despair.
Besieging the Nalan Chu line, they all more or less took part in it. It was just that they never thought that the consequences would be so severe.
They very much wanted to flee the fighting arena. But once Asura Mode activated, no means of escape would work.
Either one killed their opponent or be killed by their opponent.
The opponents after that, regardless of whether they broke down completely, or turned to desperate measures in distraught, they were all clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of Ye Yuan!
Finally, 18 people were already killed. The next one was going to be Yan Shan.
The people knew that the fighting had only just begun.
Yan Shan slowly fell out of the ranks and said to Ye Yuan calmly, "Brat, I admit that you're very capable. But there's nothing worth showing off by finishing off those trash. In front of the Earth Carnage Proclamation's top ten, everything is futile! Prepare for a reckoning!"
Ye Yuan looked at him calmly and said, "Demon King was injured by you?"
"Heh, that fool, living in his own fantasy world and still thought that I wasn't his match. Now, he's tormented by my Profound Dark Force until he's almost dead, right? Brat, are you very furious? Do you want to kill me very much? Hahaha! Rest assured, I'll make you die in agony like him!" Yan Shan became more pleased with himself as he talked, finally bursting into laughter.
At this time, a voice came from the grandstand, "Sorry to disappoint you. I'm afraid that the one dying today is you!"
Yan Shan's expression changed as he searched for the owner of the voice in disbelief. Indeed, he saw Nalan Chu appear on the grandstand under Sun Qi's support.
