Chapter 333: The Tentacles of the Myriad Demon Realm

On the arena, Qi Yuan stood against the wind, his posture straight and tall, feeling quite pleased with himself.

This was his first national martial arts tournament, and he had won.

After becoming the champion, he would become a household name.

Endorsements and commercial performances would come one after another if he wanted them.

His life’s path was about to change.

However, at this moment, the entire martial arts tournament venue was filled with confusion.

“Fire?”

“Where did he go?”

“Did he just explode into a mist of blood?”

“Is this still the martial arts I know?”

In the blink of an eye, the battle between Qi Yuan and Zhang Yang completely defied everyone’s expectations.

At first, Zhang Yang’s bursting clothes displayed brute strength—though bizarre, it was still within the audience’s acceptable range.

But then, his fists caught fire—what the hell was that?

Did they bring some kind of technology into the arena?

And then, Zhang Yang, whose fists were on fire, was directly blown up by a punch from Qi Yuan, turning into a mist of blood.

What was that supposed to be?

Confusion, doubt, shock...

“Are we sure this isn’t a movie?”

“Is this some kind of magic trick?”

“How could a living person be turned into a mist of blood?”

“This isn’t scientific at all!”

Not only were the audience members puzzled, but even the organizers of the martial arts tournament were stunned.

A bald executive stood up, still filled with confusion, but he shouted, “Stop the live broadcast immediately!”

The live broadcast of the martial arts tournament had a three-minute delay.

When incidents like this occurred, they would usually stop the broadcast based on past experiences.

However, at this moment, a calm but complex voice spoke up, “Continue the live broadcast. Follow the rules.”

Hearing this voice, the bald executive was baffled, “An incident like this could cause panic and bring unnecessary trouble to society.”

The bald executive was aware of the existence of immortality.

Currently, the higher-ups were clearly not ready to announce this matter to the public.

Of course, what confused him the most was that Qi Yuan’s display was clearly martial arts.

So why was he able to defeat Zhang Yang, who was using an immortal technique?

“Panic is irrelevant; rules are paramount. Follow the rules!” The young voice became firmer.

This left the bald executive feeling a bit resentful.

These damned second-generation elites, not only did they parachute in to take over as the head of the martial arts tournament, but they also lacked foresight.

How could such an incident be allowed to be leaked out?

Rules are paramount?

What nonsense!

Grumbling inwardly, the bald executive dared not argue further.

Meanwhile, an old man looked as if he had lost his mother, his expression bleak: “It’s over. Zhang Yang is dead... Will the Zhang family come after us?”

Previously, Qi Yuan had demonstrated exceptional talent in martial arts, almost breaking through the limits of martial prowess.

The old man had high hopes for Qi Yuan and wanted to speak with him, but he was rebuffed and never got the chance to meet him.

Faced with such a proud talent, the old man had harbored some resentment.

Later, after learning of immortality, his attention completely shifted to Zhang Yang.

What was breaking through martial arts limits compared to that?

It wasn’t even worthy of polishing the shoes of an immortal!

So, he aligned himself with Zhang Yang, hoping to gain a path to immortality through him.

Now, with Zhang Yang dead, he had no idea how to justify this to the Zhang family.

The old man suddenly stood up, his voice quivering, “Sir, this man killed Zhang Yang on the arena. He should be detained and handed over to the Zhang family for an explanation!”

Zhang Yang held a significant position within the Zhang family.

The Zhang family itself was a prominent one, highly esteemed.

Now that Zhang Yang was dead, he didn’t know how to justify this to the Zhang family.

The young man’s gaze turned sharp, “In the arena, life and death are determined by fate. All must adhere to the rules.

Zhang Yang died... then he died. Those are the rules of the arena.”

The old man, still anxious, argued, “But we must provide an explanation to the Zhang family!”

The bald executive added sarcastically, “If the Zhang family blames us, I’m afraid even you won’t be able to handle it, sir.”

The young man, who had parachuted in to oversee the tournament, had some background, but how significant could it be?

Compared to the Zhang family, it was probably a far cry.

The young man’s eyes were cold, “It seems the two of you need some time in prison to rethink. As for the Zhang family, I’ll notify them personally and see if they dare demand an explanation!”

With his words, several armed soldiers appeared, pointing their guns at the bald executive and the old man.

The young man picked up his phone and dialed a number.

“Zhang Mingyuan, I hear your Zhang family needs an explanation?”

The young man’s tone was one of accusation and displeasure.

“I need an explanation from your Zhang family!”

Not far away, both the bald executive and the old man’s faces turned pale.

Especially when they heard the humble voice of the Zhang family’s head, Zhang Mingyuan, over the phone, they were both shocked and bewildered.

Clearly, it was the Zhang family who had suffered a loss. Why was the Zhang family head acting so submissively, as if he were on edge?

Suddenly, the bald executive and the old man looked at the man on the stage, their eyes filled with shock.

Could it be...

…

“Finally, I’ve won the championship.”

At the hotel, Qi Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, there was progress in this game’s mission.

Canary sat nearby, seemingly watching the broadcast, her eyes sparkling.

“I must say, Blood Pearl, that punch of yours was pretty cool.”

As she spoke, she looked over at Qi Yuan, as if comparing him to his video footage.

“What do you think, since we didn’t stay for the interview and left right away... could that be a problem? What if the organizers come after me and cancel my championship title?” Qi Yuan asked cautiously.

After winning, there was supposed to be an interview and a speech.

As the Blood-Clothed Sword God, Qi Yuan could talk endlessly.

He could give speeches and deliver profound statements.

But that was behind a mask, not as himself.

In reality, he wasn’t very eloquent.

When faced with enemies, he was slightly socially anxious, especially when they started ranting. Usually, he couldn’t out-argue them and would just resort to violence.

A socially anxious person prefers to act rather than argue.

“It should be fine,” Canary said confidently. “If someone tries to strip you of your championship, I’ll personally step in and get it back for you!”

“Good to hear.” Qi Yuan stretched and relaxed.

Living off a strong woman was great.

Having a capable fiancée really saved a lot of trouble.

“Blood Pearl, if you find all this troublesome, I can use a technique… to make people in this world subconsciously ignore you.

They’d still know you exist, but in certain situations, they just wouldn’t mention you. How about that?

That way... even though you’re a public figure, no one would secretly photograph you on the streets.” Canary smiled.

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and nodded seriously, “Sounds good.”

Canary smiled back, “But I’ll need to use your star-core golden pill’s power; otherwise, it might be a bit slow for me to handle alone.”

“Do as you like,” Qi Yuan said nonchalantly.

“Okay.” Canary’s eyes flashed a bright red.

In an instant, it seemed as if a golden glow had covered the heavens and the earth.

Many people looked up at the sky, noticing an extra sun, then quickly averted their gaze, as if nothing had happened.

“All done,” Canary clapped her small hands, “This won’t affect our gameplay, it’ll just reduce some paparazzi and those with ulterior motives.”

“Not bad, saves us a lot of hassle.

Otherwise, if we go back and get a marriage certificate and someone secretly takes a picture and posts it online, that’d be too troublesome.”

Qi Yuan valued his privacy.

Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Canary's ears turned red. She sat in her chair, her legs swinging, clearly in a good mood.

“Alright, now I can take you home with peace of mind!”

…

Above the starry sky.

A pitch-black expanse, tinged with a hint of illusion, slightly different from the real starry sky.

Cold warships traversed the space, countless small aircraft detached from the warships, then returned.

These small aircraft were the latest generation of reconnaissance vehicles from Canxing.

Their purpose was to investigate and gather information on Gonxing.

At this moment, in front of a large screen, a captain in a starry sky uniform raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with intense battle spirit, “What are the results of the investigation?”

The captain was a staunch war hawk, always contemplating the colonization of Gonxing.

However, the Sky Eyes on Gonxing were somewhat challenging to deal with.

Canxing aimed to completely conquer Gonxing, but it would come at a considerable cost.

So, it seemed more feasible to support some countries on Gonxing, spark a civil war there, and profit from trade.

But recently, they’d received information that thirteen Sky Eyes on Gonxing had been destroyed.

This was nearly one-sixth of Gonxing’s strength wiped out.

Gonxing’s defense system had a significant gap.

This was Canxing’s opportunity.

In terms of technological strength, Canxing was far superior to Gonxing.

However, Gonxing had acquired an unknown legacy, a lost civilization's aircraft carrier, allowing them to elevate the Sky Eyes and gain the strength to counter Canxing.

But with Gonxing's capabilities, they couldn’t replicate the Sky Eyes.

With one less Sky Eye, it was gone forever.

The captain was excited, as if he were about to build an unrivaled military career.

“Reporting to the captain, our reconnaissance data shows that… an internal conflict occurred among the Seven Martial Star families. The other families attacked the Mu family and wiped them out.” A man in a special military uniform reported.

“Internal conflict?” This result surprised the captain.

An internal conflict alone caused the destruction of the Sky Eyes?

That’s just too wasteful.

“Is there something we’re missing?” The captain instinctively felt that things were not so simple.

“Captain, you’re overthinking it. Humans… don’t they always love internal strife?”

A sudden voice rang out in the warship.

In the vast warship, it was as if a monstrous wind blew through, like a small tornado.

The tornado eventually stopped, revealing a strange man with four horns on his head, his double pupils gleaming with an unusual light.

The strange man looked at the screen ahead, staring at the distant blue planet with a fervent and obsessed expression.

“What a delicious world. I feel the call of ancestral blood.”

The captain looked at the strange man with reverence, “Does the lord think there are no hidden secrets?”

The captain knew that this strange man was an outsider, from a powerful world called the Myriad Demon Realm.

That world was home to mighty demon clans.

According to genetic analysis, humans on Canxing and the demon clans of the Myriad Demon Realm shared a common ancestor. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Humans and demon clans sharing a common ancestor sounded strange.

At first, Canxing was cautious and resistant to the Myriad Demon Realm.

But when the Myriad Demon Realm's mighty ones descended and met with nearly two hundred of Canxing’s leaders, granting them youth and vitality,

Canxing's attitude toward the Myriad Demon Realm changed dramatically.

Even the elders in the captain’s family received blessings and gifts from the Myriad Demon Realm.

So, all of them held the strong beings of the Myriad Demon Realm in high esteem.

After all, the strong of the Myriad Demon Realm were immensely powerful and mighty.

“Whether there are hidden secrets… does it matter?” The double-pupil man's expression was fanatical. “No matter what cards Gonxing holds, it will fall under the territory of our Myriad Demon Realm.

If we acquire the ancestral blood, our Myriad Demon Realm will once again be great.

The last great catastrophe cost us dearly!”

The former Demon King of the Myriad Demon Realm, along with a female demon, sent a grand army to a foreign domain.

Who would have thought that out of over ten thousand supreme warriors, only a handful returned.

That battle severely weakened the Myriad Demon Realm.

The former Demon King had to abdicate.

With the new king's ascension, the Myriad Demon Realm slowly regained strength, but it still fell short of its peak.

Now, on Gonxing, they detected the scent of ancestral blood—how could they not be thrilled?

If they obtained the ancestral blood, what kind of opportunity would it bring to the Myriad Demon Realm?

It was unimaginable!

The entire Myriad Demon Realm might even have a chance to ascend to the upper realms.

“The Qilin Warship will serve as the lord’s arm!” The captain quickly pledged allegiance.

The double-pupil man nodded, “Once the elders from our clan arrive, we will sweep across Gonxing.

The Sky Eyes… are nothing but oversized toys.”

Although the double-pupil man was very wary of the Sky Eyes, he believed the elders of his clan could handle them.

The elders were terrifyingly powerful, nearly reaching the point of ascending to the upper realms.

No matter how powerful the Sky Eyes were, they were still just lifeless objects.

The double-pupil man was full of confidence and then said, “If I’m not mistaken, you have some contacts with some countries on Gonxing?

I would like to go down to Canxing and take a look first.”

“Certainly,” the captain readily agreed, but then he remembered something and said, “Please, be cautious and do not reveal your identity; otherwise, if the Sky Eyes target you, it would be difficult…”

He didn’t finish the sentence.

The Sky Eyes were too terrifying; they were said to be capable of killing gods.

Their warships were strong, but compared to the Sky Eyes, they were still a level behind.

“Hmm, I understand,” the double-pupil man was no fool.

He was very strong, but even fighting Canxing's super warships was challenging, let alone the Sky Eyes, which were even stronger than the super warships.

“I’ll make the arrangements.” The captain immediately agreed.

Though Canxing and Gonxing were enemies, they did not prohibit communication and trade.

The double-pupil man gazed at the distant blue planet, a fascinated look in his eyes, “What a… unique world.”

…

Meanwhile, in Tianyue City.

Qi Yuan, holding Canary’s hand, returned to his home.

Canary held Qi Yuan’s hand tightly, feeling a bit nervous.

The door opened, and the robot Zero One stood at the door, a smile appearing in its eyes, “Welcome home, Master, Mistress!”

“So this is Zero One, quite good-looking,” Canary said, her face slightly flushed.

Though she had been through a lot, she still retained her shy nature.

As she spoke, she looked around the house.

Inside, the walls were decorated with the Chinese character for “double happiness,” and the table was filled with wedding candies, giving the place a festive atmosphere.

The cat, Xie Xinsu, also had a “double happiness” character stuck on its back, looking quite adorable.

Canary held Qi Yuan’s hand, looking around, seemingly very excited.

“Master, I checked the calendar. Tomorrow is an auspicious day for a wedding.”

Canary’s face turned bright red.
