Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 260: King of the Underworld

The senior brothers and sisters were dumbfounded.

However, Lin Ying no longer paid attention to them. Instead, he turned to look at Ye An and asked, "Divine arts, interested?"

Ye An raised an eyebrow and replied, "That doesn't seem very useful to me right now."

"Learn about the Indestructible Diamond Art," Lin Ying suggested.

Ye An's pupils dilated.

Divine arts were the specialty of the divine race, converting source energy into various forms. The Indestructible Diamond Art transformed source energy into physical strength. Although Ye An's elemental cultivation was advanced, he had hardly explored this aspect.

"I'm interested," Ye An nodded.

"We still have a few days, enough time," Lin Ying clapped his hands.

Just as the two were about to go to the backyard grove to chat privately, an elderly man appeared at the door.

"One day, two hours. Don't even think about running," Liu Dahuo pointed at Ye An coldly.

Ye An hurriedly said, "I'm going to the divine realm next."

"Is the divine realm a place I can't go?" Liu Dahuo glanced at him and said, "I'll remember."

"You still owe me thirty-six hours."

"Pay up now!"

"You have a basement in your house, right? Let's go."

Lin Ying chuckled, "Oh, Lao Liu."

"Important matters!" Liu Dahuo replied sharply. "This is an important matter!"

Hearing this, Lin Ying was stunned for a moment. Then his mind turned, suddenly thinking of something. "Alright, Ye An, you go with Liu Dahuo for the human experimentation first. Come find me when you're done with your business."

Then, Ye An and Liu Dahuo went into the basement.

"Open the dream realm," Liu Dahuo said.

"Wait," Ye An frowned. "I just thought of something."

"Ji Qing is going to participate in another battle."

"And this battle runs parallel to yours."

"If you don't end yours, she won't end hers."

"So, this means she won't be able to freeze your body."

Ye An was stunned, then his body trembled.

The Tri-Realm Integration couldn't be activated!

Because that perfect little doctor wouldn't be able to wait for him in the operating room as expected.

The spread of the Extinction Force was extremely rapid.

By the time Ji Qing rushed over from the other battlefield to treat him, he would have long been dead.

What to do?

Things had progressed to this point.

Ye An shook his head, "Let's talk about it when the time comes. Let's proceed with the experiment first."

"Alright, quickly," Liu Dahuo grabbed Ye An and entered the dream realm.

Before this, he had already helped Ye An complete experiments to resolve the side effects of Tri-Realm Integration.

Liu Dahuo's refining experiments began today.

However, before this, he had already thought about many things. If nothing unexpected happened, everything should go smoothly.

First, Ye An needed to enter an extreme state, pushing himself to the point of his meridians crumbling, a state of complete physical breakdown.

Then the experiment began.

He lay on the experimental bed, while Liu Dahuo continuously injected various forms of material energy into him.

Mighty forces clashed within Ye An's body.

As expected, he died during the first experiment.

Then, the second, third, and fourth attempts began.

Ye An saw Liu Dahuo's eyes constantly changing, from nervousness, anticipation, excitement, to regret, but quickly adjusting his mindset and starting anew.

In the following days, Ye An conducted experiments during the day, practiced the Indestructible Diamond Art at night, and even squeezed out time to practice martial arts.

In reality, there was hardly any improvement left. These days, it didn't matter if Ye An lay in bed doing nothing.

But diligence had become a habit, and even an hour before departure, he was still punching.

In these four days, with Lin Ying's help, he preliminarily understood the Indestructible Diamond Art, which could temporarily increase physical strength by twenty percent—a small additional skill.

Finally.

They set off!

A group of five.

Ye An, Liu Dahuo, Lin Ying, and the senior brother and sister pair.

At this moment, the five of them sat in the spaceship, enjoying a leisurely journey. However, Ye An did not know that the spaceship's pilot was named Liu Jun.

Looking at the boundless starry sea, Liu Dahuo's excited words from the previous night echoed in Ye An's mind.

"It's done. It feels about right. Tomorrow, I'll experiment with Ye An on the spaceship. It should take no more than five or six days."

"I've already prepared all the materials. If everything goes smoothly, you'll return to your peak in the divine realm!"

Return to the peak...

Just thinking about those four words brought tears to Liu Jun's eyes. He looked at his disheveled self in the mirror and thought that perhaps he should tidy up.

Inside the spaceship.

Ye An began to focus on studying the rules of the Bright Sword Tournament.

During this process, he received a reply from Tan Que.

He wouldn't be able to participate as a reinforcement in the second or fourth battles.

However, Lin Ying assured him that his reinforcements were already on their way, stronger than the Black Dragon King, so there was no need to worry.

Naturally, Ye An was relieved.

Next, it was time for "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

For this tournament, detailed information on all thirty-two participants had already been publicly disclosed!

A quick scan revealed no remnants of the Celestials!

But there was a figure who seemed to be a monster resembling the Celestials, one of the strongest prodigies of the current generation of the divine race—King of the Underworld.

The origin of this prodigy had long been understood by the human race.

The King of the Underworld was not a naturally conceived creature but a divine fetus, somewhat similar to Zhao Huaiyi.

Zhao Huaiyi had received enhancements from other strong individuals after being born.

The King of the Underworld, on the other hand, had no parents at all. He was born from the fusion of the divine race's luck and some mysterious energies—a child of heaven and earth.

He had only one innate talent, described in two words.

Collapse!

This term made Ye An's face slightly change.

Next.

He opened a video clip showing the King of the Underworld using his innate abilities.

His appearance was completely different from what Ye An had imagined. He had expected someone extremely muscular and tall. But the reality was quite the opposite.

The King of the Underworld was very tall but extremely skinny, with limbs and chest exposed in a bony state. His cheeks were sunken, and his hair was long and black, with eyes devoid of any vitality.

In the video, the King of the Underworld stood in an arena, pointing his finger at a fierce beast from the ancient Asura Realm.

A faint white light flashed at his fingertip.

The originally aggressive beast suddenly showed fear on its face and collapsed into a pure white light spot the next moment.

The battle ended just like that.

But the video wasn't over yet.

The light spot flew back into the King of the Underworld's palm, and he gently tossed it downward.

The light spot landed.

The land within a thousand miles was engulfed in a fierce white explosion, ultimately turning into ruins!

Throughout, the King of the Underworld's expression remained unchanged, indifferent and lifeless.

Liu Dahuo's brows furrowed deeply. "Indeed, collapse."

"The natural power was actually refined into an innate talent by the divine race."

"Ye An, you're in big trouble."
