Next second, the five Element Guardians on the front of the Element Spark Lens raised their hands, releasing a terrifying five-element elemental energy that surged into Tie Gelei's body.
A blinding light burst forth, causing the five contestants on stage and the viewers in the livestream to close their eyes.
Once the light faded, what entered everyone's vision was a composite Element Guardian that had fused the five elements.
With all five elements present, it was far stronger than a normal Element Guardian.
“Hahaha!” Tie Gelei laughed heartily, completely intoxicated by the majestic power flowing through his body.
This power was much stronger than his own Eternal Rank power.
Then, Tie Gelei controlled the elements in his body. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth erupted all at once, setting off a brilliant firework in the Cosmic Sea above.
Miracle synchronously zoomed out the camera, allowing the audience to see clearly that this seemingly casual firework actually affected the entire Golden Spiral—which meant it affected tens of thousands of worlds.
Undoubtedly, this power was among the upper echelon even among those of the Eternal Rank.
Once the strike ended, Tie Gelei actively exited the Element Guardian state.
Calming his excited heart slightly, Tie Gelei reached out a trembling hand again and picked up the Demon Spark Lens on the right.
Same posture, same shout.
“Hell Demon King!”
The next moment, a dense aura of corruption accompanied by a massive wave of blood mist erupted, blocking everyone's vision.
Then, a giant demonic claw extended from the blood mist. The claw was so massive that just a single claw tip was larger than the previous Stone Spirit.
“Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!” Tie Gelei laughed again. This demon body contained incredibly terrifying power.
He felt that if he used this form to forge, he could forge a profound gold of 99,999,900,000,000 refines—no, this shouldn't be called profound gold anymore, it should be Eternal Gold!
So the demon body possessed such immense strength. Every flow of blood in his body gave Tie Gelei an urge to smash something.
Just then, Tie Gelei was in a bind. How should he demonstrate this great strength? He couldn't just smash the arena floor beneath his feet.
Fortunately, at this moment, a portal opened in the Cosmic Sea, and the Crafts Sect casually threw out a special blue sphere.
“Little Lei, try it out with this force detector.”
“Yes, Master!” Tie Gelei complied, turned his body, twisted his waist, built up power, and then threw a punch.
“Boom!!!”
A violent explosion rang out, and a powerful shockwave swept across the arena. The contestants below were instantly pinned to the ground. Fortunately, Chen Xu's pre-set defense mechanism was triggered, protecting them.
This shockwave rapidly expanded outward, pushing and scattering the ten thousand worlds above the Golden Spiral.
As if such a terrifying scene wasn't enough, an exaggerated number popped up on the detector thrown by the Crafts Sect.
3 Eternal Power
This meant that this casual punch was equivalent to three times the output of a normal Eternal Rank expert.
Looking at the number on the detector, Tie Gelei reluctantly exited the Demon King form and put the Demon Spark Lens back on the altar.
“It really suits me. If I could transform while hammering iron, that would be so satisfying.” Tie Gelei lamented as he picked up the final Spark Lens, the Undead Spark Lens.
“Undead Yin Lord!”
As soon as his voice fell, white bones began to crawl out from beneath Tie Gelei's feet. These bones kept crawling onto his body, quickly gathering into a mountain of bones.
The bone mountain collapsed, revealing Tie Gelei's true appearance after transformation: a terrifyingly bizarre undead monster that fused the characteristics of the ten Yin Lords, yet exuded an incredibly horrifying aura.
This monster's body was roughly based on Sindragosa's bone dragon form, but the scales on its body were replaced with Kunpeng scales, and its mouthful of sharp teeth was also the Kunpeng style.
The original bone dragon tail had also turned into a long hook, inspired by Patchwerk.
Of the dragon claws on its chest, one held a soul-locking lantern, while the other gripped a marshal's bone blade.
The lower limbs had transformed into the root system of Zhenyuan's Ginseng Fruit Tree, intricate yet brutally powerful.
Near the dragon head, there was also a transparent split soul controlling a soul-suppressing spear, with thick green liquid flowing on the spear.
Since most of the Yin Lords under Chen Xu relied on the talents he provided to reach the upper-tier combat power of the Eternal Rank, Chen Xu had to stack them like this to make up for the lack of intrinsic strength through numbers.
“Roar! Hah! Woo!” Under this state, Tie Gelei could actually make multiple sounds at the same time.
The various capability information transmitted to his head left him unsure of what to display for a moment.
After thinking for a long time, he opened his giant mouth and spat out a polar frost breath, completely freezing the previous explosion and the punch's aftershocks.
Then, he exited the Undead Yin Lord state.
“Phew!” Tie Gelei shook his head and put the Undead Spark Lens back.
This undead version had quite a strong aftereffect.
Tie Gelei picked up the microphone again to announce, “The match officially begins!”
At his command, the Daoist of Clan Corpses immediately opened his coffin.
This time, there was no burning of incense or bowing. He simply pried open the coffin with both hands and roared, “Ancestors, whether our Clan Corpse lineage can attain the Dao depends entirely on today! Ancestors, please lend me your strength!”
Instantly, the coffin shook, and one zombie after another flew out, landing on the arena.
Ten, a hundred, and quickly it reached a thousand!
This exaggerated quantity immediately caught the attention of the other contestants.
Even the previously calm mage, Dio, could no longer keep his composure. “Are you kidding me? A thousand zombies, is this even within the rules?”
“Enslaving the dead is a desecration of nature! As an emissary of nature, I should destroy them, but this evil power is just too exaggerated.” The Druid was also secretly intimidated.
Meanwhile, the cyber martial artist Kristine looked completely unsurprised. “Ha, why am I not surprised at all? Humans really are an evil race, to the point of even enslaving their deceased kin.”
As for the wild beast Boris, he was currently crouching on the ground, frantically hissing in the direction of the Daoist of Clan Corpses, his body trembling continuously.
The actions of the Daoist of Clan Corpses clearly drew the hostility of the other contestants.
But he didn't care. After summoning the ancestors, he silently lay down inside the coffin.
A tuft of fiery red hair covered the coffin lid and gently stroked the coffin, a trace of gentleness and reluctance appearing on her face.
Behind the grandmother zombie, an ancestor zombie also reached out, patted her shoulder, and nodded.
The next moment, this group of zombies surrounded the coffin. They did not actively initiate an attack, but instead assumed a defensive stance.
The Druid, Huanfeng, looked at Kristine and saw that she had no desire to communicate with anyone. He then turned his head to look at the wild beast Boris.
But Boris, who was essentially a beast, was currently dominated by his primal instincts, repeatedly hissing, bristling his fur, and arching his back, leaving no possibility of communication.
“Sigh.” Huanfeng sighed, no longer holding any expectations, and looked at the furthest mage, Dio.
When he turned, he found that the mage, Dio, was also looking at him.
Their eyes met, and in an instant, they reached an agreement to cooperate.
Thus, in the next second, Dio raised his hand and unleashed a double cast: a Life-Essence flesh curse combined with a Life-Essence soul curse, directly hitting Boris, who was still hissing.
Meanwhile, Huanfeng also transformed into a giant bear, raising his hand to summon his signature spikes to surround and attack Kristine.
Crouching on all fours, the excess nutrients accumulated from previously devouring elixirs were released from his stomach.
The giant bear express train started up again, roaring as it crashed toward Kristine.
At the same time, his fur continuously drew matter from the arena beneath his feet, and a suit of rock armor was equipped.
Kristine's attention seemed to be drawn by Dio, and she didn't expect the Druid's sudden attack. Although her reaction was fast enough to twist left and right, her right foot was still pierced by the sharp spike.
Looking at the rapidly approaching giant bear, Kristine decisively severed her right foot. Her mechanical structure instantly reorganized, assembling a new foot.
Then, the radiation core in her abdomen was exposed again, shooting out lethal radiation.
“Ha! Unfettered Fist!” Another series of mechanical folds occurred. Her limbs became heavy and her torso light, completing her battle form transformation. Kristine actually charged toward the giant bear.
She seemed confident that at this stage, no one would dare to gain the upper hand within her radiation field, not even a bear Druid famous for close-quarters brawling.
“Boom!”
The flesh express train collided with the steel martial artist. The bear's strength was actually superior, sending Kristine flying.
Huanfeng did not let up. Gathering lightning in his claws, he struck directly at Kristine, who was unable to dodge in the air.
The lightning hit Kristine directly, leaving a large black mark on her steel body.
However, the lightning did not defeat Kristine. This abundant electrical energy instead gave her a massive boost of energy out of nowhere.
“Electro-Net!” Kristine shot a large roll of wires directly from her chest, spreading it below and entangling the giant bear.
Then, she unleashed her full electrical output, attempting to electrocute this carbon-based lifeform to death.
“Hmph.” Huanfeng sneered, tearing the wires off his body.
“The earth favors me, but lightning is also my power. Machine lifeform, a monstrosity that does not belong to nature, go to sleep forever!”
Huanfeng raised his front claws high and slammed them down.
Three massive spikes rose, directly impaling Kristine's head, chest, and lower limbs.
But Kristine did not give up. She activated the radiation core in her abdomen and launched it out.
“Ha, darling of nature? Then go and make love with nature's radiation!”
The radiation core vibrated violently, shooting toward Huanfeng.
But Huanfeng calmly raised his rock-covered right claw. Then, the moment he caught the core, he slammed it down, driving it beneath the arena.
“Your radiation is indeed powerful, but this arena was made by that lord. Strictly speaking, I've taken advantage of that. But a match is a match. Machine monstrosity, let me put you to sleep!”
Huanfeng slammed his palm down, completely ending Kristine.
Turning around, he found that Dio on the other side had also finished his battle long ago. Under the influence of the double curse, the wild beast Boris had turned into a brainless, tentacle-covered mass of flesh.
Dio conjured a gust of wind, gently blowing it off the arena.
Boris was out.
The melee had just begun, and only three remained: the Daoist of Clan Corpses, the mage Dio, and the Druid Huanfeng, who had benefited from the current version's meta.
