Chapter 731 - 725: Gladiatorial Combat Underway

"Do you take me for a whore you can summon and dismiss at will?"

"You think you can fight when you want and back off when you don’t?" Lin Yuan looked coldly at the Demon Lord and said word by word, "If you don’t want to fight, just admit defeat?"

Admit defeat?

There is such a rule in the Returning Ruins Arena.

As long as one party admits defeat, the duel will end.

The Demon Lord could leave here immediately if he admitted defeat.

But....

The problem now is, would the Demon Lord possibly admit defeat to Lin Yuan?

Absolutely impossible.

The Demon Lord is one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, a dignified Tier One Powerhouse.

Lin Yuan is only Tier Two; outside, Lin Yuan would be as insignificant as an ant, easy for the Demon Lord to crush.

If the Demon Lord admits defeat voluntarily, how could he continue to hold his ground in the Void?

He would likely become the eternal laughingstock within the Void.

Once he admits defeat, Lin Yuan would become an insurmountable inner demon for the Demon Lord.

Demon Lord: "?????"

The Demon Lord looked surprised, thinking, admit defeat?

How dare he make me admit defeat?

In the eyes of the Demon God, even if they stopped fighting, it should be Lin Yuan who admits defeat.

Tier One?

He is a dignified Tier One. How could he suffer such humiliation?

For the Demon Lord, even if it meant dying, he couldn’t voluntarily admit defeat.

If he admits defeat, where would be the dignity of Tier One, and where would be the face of the Demon Lord?

The Demon Lord’s gaze gradually turned cold, and he said in a frosty tone, "Since you are so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish."

"I want to see where your confidence comes from, to think you’re a match for me."

Afterward, the two fell into a sort of tacit peaceful state.

They both focused on recovering their internal energies, showing no intention to continue the fight.

However, it wasn’t long before the Demon Lord broke this tacit understanding and struck first.

The Demon Lord didn’t wait for his energy to fully restore but struck suddenly when roughly recovered.

The Demon Lord abandoned the previous close combat style with Lin Yuan and instead summoned his Magical Treasure.

Previously, he hadn’t used the Magical Treasure.

Because the Demon Lord knew that in the Returning Ruins Arena, his Magical Treasure’s power would also be reduced to Tier Two.

In the battle with Lin Yuan, a Tier Two Magical Treasure could be completely destroyed.

If the Magical Treasure was destroyed, it would certainly pain the Demon Lord.

After all, each of his Magical Treasures was meticulously refined over many years.

But now, there are more pressing concerns.

No matter the cost, it would be worth it to secure victory in this duel.

The Demon Lord grabbed something akin to bone ash and threw it towards Lin Yuan.

In reality, what the Demon Lord threw was indeed bone ash.

By a stroke of luck, the Demon Lord came across a remnant bone in a void relic.

This remnant bone used to be part of a Tier One Powerhouse.

A Tier One Powerhouse’s bone is precious material for refining Magical Treasures.

The Demon Lord had a sudden whim to grind this powerhouse’s bone into sand, refining it into a handful of Bone Shattering Sand.

Even a Tier One Powerhouse stained by this Bone Shattering Sand would end up like being hit by a shotgun, with no part of the body unharmed.

If anyone below Tier One got tainted by this Bone Shattering Sand, they would instantly be turned into mince, with their souls shattered.

The Demon Lord produced the Bone Shattering Sand to deal with Lin Yuan, which was quite respectful.

However, within the Returning Ruins Arena, the Bone Shattering Sand’s power was also diminished.

While it could threaten Lin Yuan, it was no longer enough to kill him.

The Bone Shattering Sand, like a cloud, enveloped Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan swiftly ended his energy recovery state, stood ready, and warily eyed the Bone Shattering Sand to prevent being hit.

Lin Yuan did not want to end up as if hit with a shotgun, with his body covered in pellets.

Especially, Lin Yuan couldn’t let his handsome, dashing face be marred by the Bone Shattering Sand.

You, Demon Lord, have your offensive moves, and I, Lin Yuan, have my defensive means.

Once I block your attack, it will be my turn to attack.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan mobilized the Human King Armor to defend.

As Lin Yuan injected energy into the Human King Armor, a faint bronze light emerged, gradually forming an energy shield around him.

Seeing this sight, both Lin Yuan and the Demon Lord held their breaths.

The Demon Lord wondered if his Bone Shattering Sand could break Lin Yuan’s defense.

Lin Yuan wondered if his defense could withstand the Demon Lord’s Bone Shattering Sand.

Soon, the Bone Shattering Sand enveloped Lin Yuan within.

The following scene could be described with a song.

Like bubbles, popped at a touch.

Indeed, as soon as the Bone Shattering Sand touched the Human King Armor’s energy shield.

The Human King Armor’s energy shield broke instantly.

The Bone Shattering Sand effortlessly shattered the Human King Armor’s energy shield.

Demon Lord: "?????"

Seeing this scene, the Demon Lord was initially stunned, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha!"

"Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan!"

"This time, let’s see if you live or die!"

Despite not being proactive, why was Lin Yuan’s defense so weak this time?

The Demon Lord assumed Lin Yuan’s internal energy hadn’t recovered, hence the frailty.

Lin Yuan: "?????"

On the other side, when Lin Yuan saw the Human King Armor’s energy shield break, he was completely dumbfounded.

Lin Yuan had braced himself to be bloody and full of bone particles under the Bone Shattering Sand.

However...

Another unexpected thing happened.

The Demon Lord’s Bone Shattering Sand did not attack Lin Yuan but slowly merged into the Human King Armor.

The sight before him completely shocked Lin Yuan.

After a moment of daze, Lin Yuan realized.

Moments ago, the energy defense shield of the Human King Armor didn’t shatter due to its weakness.

Instead, the Human King Armor had retracted the shield willingly, allowing the Bone Shattering Sand to come in.

The purpose of letting in the Bone Shattering Sand was obvious, the Human King Armor wanted to absorb it.

As the Bone Shattering Sand was absorbed by the Human King Armor, both its defensive and offensive powers improved significantly.

In the depths of his soul, Lin Yuan felt a sense of realization, understanding why the Human King Armor could absorb the Bone Shattering Sand.

The Bone Shattering Sand was crafted from a remnant bone the Demon Lord accidentally acquired from a void relic.

The Demon Lord always believed the remnant bone belonged to a Tier One Void Race Powerhouse from ancient times.

Perhaps it belonged to the master of the void relic when he discovered the bone.

In reality, the Demon Lord was mistaken.

The owner of these bones wasn’t a Tier One Void Race Powerhouse from ancient times.

But rather...

Long ago, a Human King died on the battlefield during his battles in the void, leaving them behind.

Thus, the Human King Armor could absorb the Bone Shattering Sand.
