Chapter 637: The Urgent Matter is to Leave

The prayers and hopes of millions of viewers could not change the outcome of this Death Duel.

As Yi Chen continued his relentless attacks from a distance, Xier’s physical body completely collapsed and was destroyed.

His soul, filled with endless reluctance, flew out from his body.

Along with his reluctance, a hint of confusion faintly appeared in his eyes.

He was defeated!

Thoroughly defeated.

Not even his physical body was saved; only his soul remained.

For the first time in history, he tasted the flavor of despair.

When he signed up to participate in this duel, he could never have imagined that he would lose in this Death Duel.

His opponent was five small realms weaker than him.

Even against an opponent like this, he believed he could win, even if the opponent was a super genius from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, ranking among the top few and with the potential to compete for the position of clan leader.

Even if the opponent held a treasure, he believed he could find a solution.

Countless times of survival against the odds had allowed him to remain calm and rational in the face of a much stronger opponent, maintaining his belief in victory.

He simply could not believe that he would lose to an opponent who had no treasures and was five small realms beneath him.

But the reality stood before him.

The destruction of his physical body almost meant he was beyond saving and could not turn things around.

Swish…

A flash of white light disappeared in an instant.

His consciousness then faded away.

Yi Chen used a strand of Sword Energy to shatter his soul into pieces.

With another wave of his hand, an invisible force extracted the Space Stone from Xier’s ruined body.

It was collected into his storage ring.

At almost the same moment, the defensive barriers vanished.

The match was over.

Yi Chen turned and left the arena as usual, disappearing into the passage.

In the stands, the atmosphere was lifeless.

Another miracle battle!

“He won again! How did he win again?”

“Haha, I won my bet! I actually succeeded in betting. I knew something unusual was happening; the odds for this seemingly certain loss were shockingly pushed down to thirty to one, clearly something was hidden from us.”

“So, after betting one million Low-grade Immortal Stones on Xier’s victory, I felt uneasy, then gritted my teeth and bet another hundred thousand Low-grade Immortal Stones on Clay.”

“I never expected my intuition to come true; Clay really turned the tables, and I made a net profit of over two million Low-grade Immortal Stones!”

“I’m doomed! I just can’t understand why a genius of his level was completely unknown before!”

“Exactly! Without a treasure, he was able to defeat a top genius who was five small realms stronger. Although he used a lot of extraordinary pills, and his treasures just happened to counter Xier, it clearly shows that his talent limit is one of the top among the entire Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”

“A genius of this level shouldn’t be anonymous.”

“Likewise, he definitely shouldn’t have participated in so many Death Duels so frequently!”

“I can’t figure out what bigger power is behind Clay!”

“What else can they think? They know how great Clay’s talent and strength are, and they have absolute confidence in winning this Death Duel, so of course, it’s worth placing a bet. After all, this duel could bring in billions, or even tens of billions in profits.”

“Perhaps Clay still has treasures he hasn’t used. You have to know, Clay used only one treasure from start to finish. It’s clear he has other treasures but didn’t need to use them to defeat Xier.”

“May the clan leaders of past generations bless us! I hope Clay signs up for another Death Duel. I’ve already lost a lot on him; in the next one, even if the odds are only two to one, I will bet all my fortune on his victory.”

“Well, that goes without saying! His displayed talent clearly reaches the level of a super genius, with a guaranteed talent limit at the elder level, possibly ranking among the top few elders.”

“A genius like this, the powerful forces behind him won’t let him die in the coliseum. Once trained, the profit he can bring is unmatched by any resources or treasures. So, if he really continues to sign up for Death Duels, no matter how exaggerated the opponent is, there’s bound to be a guaranteed victory.”

Most of the audience sighed, feeling frustrated that another miracle had occurred.

How could someone five small realms weaker, especially against a top genius, still achieve victory?

A small portion of the audience, however, was caught up in a frenzy of excitement.

Winning with a small bet against a large one brought such exhilaration that even those with strong characters found it hard to fully resist.

Many spectators secretly marveled at Yi Chen’s terrifying talent.

Everyone eagerly awaited whether Yi Chen would continue to sign up for new Death Duels.

At the same time, many strong fighters quietly left the stands and went to the office or registration area, using their Perception Ability to track and monitor everyone who went to exchange their winnings while keeping an eye on all the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members entering and exiting the palace complex.

Some were greedily eyeing the powerful being behind Yi Chen, wanting to see if they had the ability and opportunity to snatch away resources and treasures worth billions.

Others were intrigued by Yi Chen’s terrifying talent and wanted to investigate the identity and background of his powerful ally, hoping to find a chance to connect.

Many thoughts were swirling about.

This time, after finishing the duel, Yi Chen did not head to the registration area as he usually did to apply for a new duel.

Instead, he went directly back to the palace arranged in the coliseum.

After waiting for over an hour, Thomasen returned to the palace with the exchanged resources and treasures.

In this duel, Yi Chen earned a total profit worth over nine billion Low-grade Immortal Stones.

Along with the resources gained from the previous four duels, he had earned over ten billion in treasures in total from five duels.

“First, let’s get off Soul-Loss Star!”

Seeing Thomasen return, Yi Chen decided immediately.

It was too dangerous here.

They had to leave quickly.

Because, whether it was the profits earned this time or the terrifying talent and strength he had shown, it could easily attract powerful fighters above level 230.

In fact, there might already be level 230 beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe trying to track him down.

And the Shadow King, while using the Heart of Time to elevate his realm to the limit of level 210, had stealth techniques that even level 230 strong fighters could not sense.

But the Shadow King’s current strength was still below level 200.

No matter how powerful the Heart of Time was, it still needed time.

The longer they stayed on Soul-Loss Star, the greater the risk.

Leaving quickly was the urgent matter.

“Using stealth techniques to leave the coliseum might not be safe anymore. If there are level 230 strong fighters on Soul-Loss Star, they will surely focus on sensing this palace complex.”

Yi Chen looked at the Shadow King and decided: “So, you enter hiding state and stay in the flying treasure. I will use teleportation ability to take the flying treasure into outer space. Once we’re far enough away, you can wrap the flying treasure with your stealth ability and speed away!”

“Okay!”

The Shadow King nodded.

This method was undoubtedly safer and more secure than him trying to leave directly with his stealth ability.

The main reason was that if there were indeed level 230 strong fighters keeping an eye on the palace complex, they would undoubtedly sense his presence.

On the other hand, Yi Chen’s flying treasure also had the function of Perception Ability shielding.

Though it wasn’t as effective as his stealth techniques, Yi Chen still had teleportation ability.

He could directly take the entire flying treasure and instantly teleport to the outer space of Soul-Loss Star, reappearing in areas where the focus of level 230 strong fighters was weaker.

If he quickly took over from there, even if a level 230 strong fighter sensed the existence of the flying treasure, they would mistakenly think it belonged to another strong fighter.
