Chapter 1040
While it appeared to others that Earth Monarch Tegu was enraged by Yi Tianyun’s accusations, the reality was that he didn’t want to waste time and saw no benefit in continuing the facade.
The five elders frowned. They hadn’t expected Yi Tianyun to make such claims, but no matter how they looked, they couldn’t detect any Evil Spirit Race bloodline in Earth Monarch Tegu.
“Could Earth Monarch Tianyun really be slandering his opponent?”
“Given his strength, it seems unlikely. Could Earth Monarch Tegu actually have an Evil Spirit Race bloodline?”
“But we’ve examined him thoroughly and found no such bloodline. It might be a false accusation.”
“If it’s slander, such a person shouldn’t be kept around. It’s truly disgusting.”
They looked towards Elder Gou Huang, waiting for his judgment.
“The duel will continue. The opponent merely suspected the martial art was sinister and made a slight misjudgment. However, if there are further accusations without proof, the accuser will be expelled!”
They allowed any kind of strategy in the duels, no matter how insidious. But slandering an opponent, especially accusing them of being from the Evil Spirit Race, was serious. Believing such an accusation without proof would be unjust.
While some started to question Yi Tianyun’s integrity, Earth Monarch Tegu launched a frenzied attack, appearing to be genuinely enraged by the accusation.
Unbeknownst to them, Earth Monarch Tegu’s cold eyes glinted with murderous intent in the darkness, eager to kill Yi Tianyun. Previously, he had pretended to be a gentleman, but now, using Yi Tianyun’s accusation as an excuse, he could strike back without restraint.
Disappearing into the mist, Earth Monarch Tegu moved like a sinister assassin, suddenly appearing behind Yi Tianyun. His whip lashed out silently, aiming to entangle Yi Tianyun.
“Die!” Earth Monarch Tegu’s eyes were filled with killing intent, his arm muscles bulging as he poured all his strength into the attack.
The whip wrapped around Yi Tianyun, tightening instantly and ripping him apart into a cloud of mist.
“An illusion!” Earth Monarch Tegu realized he had been deceived, but it was too late. The Tianchen Divine Spear pierced through his back.
“Who are you attacking?” Yi Tianyun sneered, thrusting him to the ground.
Earth Monarch Tegu roared, pulling himself off the spear, blood splattering. He flew forward, trying to escape. Once he felt safe, he floated in the air, gasping for breath. The mist quickly dissipated, revealing the scene to the spectators.
In an instant, Earth Monarch Tegu had been defeated, his body pierced with a large hole, his face pale. In contrast, Yi Tianyun was unscathed, highlighting the vast difference in their power.
The audience erupted in disbelief. They had thought Yi Tianyun was slandering Earth Monarch Tegu to win, but now it was clear he didn’t need to resort to such tactics. He had almost killed Earth Monarch Tegu with his spear alone, making them reconsider their suspicions about Earth Monarch Tegu’s lineage.
“Let’s see how long you can maintain this!” Yi Tianyun’s eyes turned cold as he pursued Earth Monarch Tegu.
He knew that continuing the fight would eventually force Earth Monarch Tegu to reveal his true form. Killing him wasn’t difficult; exposing his identity to alert the five Divine Realms was the goal. This would show the Evil Spirit Race’s infiltration and prompt everyone to be on guard.
Yi Tianyun welcomed the idea of other Divine Realms joining the fight against the Evil Spirit Race. He couldn’t handle them alone.
As Yi Tianyun charged, Earth Monarch Tegu’s eyes turned red. He shouted, “Bloodline full release!”
“Phoenix Bloodline!”
“Dragon God Bloodline!”
“Giant Rock Bloodline!”
“Giant Eagle Bloodline!”
“Viper Bloodline!”
Various bloodlines erupted from within him, one by one. His body transformed, covered in dragon scales, viper scales, phoenix feathers, and more. His combat power skyrocketed as he unleashed his mixed bloodlines.
Spectators were stunned by his transformation.
“How can he absorb so many bloodlines? Even absorbing one or two is difficult!”
“That’s a different constitution. Even the Evil Spirit Race can’t control so many bloodlines.”
“Right. If he were Evil Spirit Race, he couldn’t have so many bloodlines.”
“What kind of race is he? He looks like a human?”
They were in awe of Earth Monarch Tegu’s talent. His abilities were comparable to Heavenly Dao-level martial arts, making him appear nearly invincible.
“So, this is why you’re participating in the Ascension Battle of the Divine Realm? Absorbing others’ essence blood to enhance your power?” Yi Tianyun laughed. The Evil Spirit Race rarely controlled many bloodlines, but Earth Monarch Tegu wasn’t purely Evil Spirit Race; he was a hybrid!
