Chapter 12561

The valley floor was barren and extremely hot, with temperatures at least twenty degrees Celsius higher than in other parts of Tianjun.

If an ordinary person were to step inside, they would fall ill if they stayed for even a little longer, and the heat toxin would remain for the rest of their life. In severe cases, they might even die on the spot.

Therefore, although there are many onlookers, less than one in a thousand people are actually willing to take the risk.

However, Tianjun is a gathering place for many experts, with a huge number of them.

In just a short time, the number of people entering the arena had exceeded five hundred, and the number was still increasing.

"Don't rush into the game, let's see how things go first."

There are quite a few people who share this idea.

But then a progress bar appeared in the sky, clearly displaying the message that once the progress bar finished, the valley below would be closed, and then it would be impossible to enter the arena.

Everyone immediately became anxious.

After an incense stick's time, the loading bar finished, and the number of challengers in the valley had suddenly surged to over three thousand!
Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Given the harshness of Huilong Valley, at least half of these people would not dare to set foot there easily under normal circumstances, but today, fortune favors the bold.

Even so, many people are too far away to come in a short time; otherwise, the number of participants could have increased by at least five times, or even ten times.

"Damn! Damn! I really made the right choice coming here today!"

"Look at this! What an amazing lineup!"

"Di Qingfan, Zhang Baiyu, Shen Xiuluo, Mei Zhixue..."

Almost all the top-ranked experts, especially the second-generation members of powerful families, were present.

This is practically an all-star event exclusively for Tianjun!

But that's not all.

"The Slaughter Saint! The Slaughter Saint himself has arrived!"

A gasp went up from the crowd outside the arena.

When the racetrack came last time, the Food Saint himself took to the track, which broadened their horizons. Although they suffered a defeat in the end, it was still the prestige of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Family.

I never expected to see the Killer Saint himself make an appearance today!
If things continue to develop like this, wouldn't even Emperor Saints be a possibility if more racetracks were to appear in the future?

"Look, the Emperor of Termination has arrived, and so has the Old Monster of Termination!"

The crowd erupted in noise again.

Few of them have actually seen the face of the Ender Monster, but that legendary demonic mask has long been a core symbol of the Ender Monster through word of mouth.

In comparison, Lin Yi, the Emperor of Termination, would be a focal point in other situations, but in the present moment, he seems somewhat insignificant.

Someone murmured with a hint of melancholy, "If I remember correctly, this seems to be the first time that the End Monster and the End Emperor have appeared on the battlefield at the same time, right?"

"So there really were two people?"

"You know what, I actually did suspect that these two people might be the same person, just deliberately creating two identities."

There are clearly quite a few people who make this guess.

Lin Yi smiled inwardly as he observed everyone's reactions.

Taking advantage of the stage where the racetrack is today, he deliberately put on this show to dispel the doubts of certain key figures about him.

The Ending Monster is the Ending Monster, and the Ending Emperor is the Ending Emperor.

Only once they have grasped this point can certain key aspects of the subsequent plan be implemented.

At this moment, his true identity is naturally that of the End Emperor.

On the other hand, the highly anticipated final monster, if he were just an ordinary clone, would have his flaws exposed in no time.

The one he used was one of the five embryos that had been extracted from Cloud Peak Manor, but now he had refined it into a puppet.

He infused this puppet with his own aura, including its speech, behavior, and even its temperament, so that outsiders could not see anything unusual about it.

Today, the race has begun. Regardless of the final outcome, the mere fact that two figures are appearing at the same time is enough for Lin Yi to achieve his goal.

As everyone was sizing each other up, another message lit up above Huilong Valley.

This is an explanation of the rules.

"The race has begun. Whoever survives to the end will be the winner and will be rewarded with twenty Divine Shards and a Beginner Divine Equipment Chest."

The entire venue instantly erupted in excitement.

Lin Yi glanced at the explanation of the beginner-level divine equipment chest and became interested.

Essentially, it's a blind box.

Once opened, any basic divine equipment will randomly appear.

Strictly speaking, apart from the number of divine fragments doubling, this reward is no different from previous ones.

But that's human nature.

Anything that has even a hint of gambling, even if it's still the same thing, will immediately become much more attractive.

"So, isn't this just a free-for-all brawl?"

Some are happy and some are sad.

No matter how good the reward is, you still have to get it in your hands.

But if it were truly a free-for-all, with such a star-studded lineup, not to mention ordinary experts, even the top experts would have a slim chance.

Even someone as powerful as Di Qingfan wouldn't dare say he could withstand the Killing Saint and the Ending Old Monster!
Fortunately, the information that followed reassured everyone.

"Each challenger will be given ten layers of protection, each layer of protection can withstand one attack. Once all ten layers of protection are used up, the challenger will be eliminated."

As the information appeared, a halo of light spontaneously appeared around each person.

If you look closely, the light is divided into ten colors.

Each color represents a layer of protection.

Someone curiously punched their companion, a punch so light it was almost imperceptible, yet the companion's protective barrier instantly crumbled and dissipated.

"That's it?"

Everyone stared in disbelief: "It's as brittle as paper, what can it possibly protect against?"

On the other side, a burly man grinned and took the initiative, delivering a powerful punch that slammed into the head of an unfortunate man next to him.

"What kind of bullshit ten-layer protection is this? I'll smash it to pieces with one punch!"

As a result, the unlucky guy who looked weak and frail and was just there to make up the numbers didn't even flinch when faced with such a powerful and fatal punch.

He just turned around with a blank look on his face: "What are you doing?"

The burly man froze instantly.

That punch wasn't a joke; he was prepared to kill someone to establish his authority.

But judging from the other party's reaction, it was as if it were just a tickle, and they didn't feel any impact at all.

The only difference was that, like the other person, he also had a layer of protection that had crumbled.

Lin Yi immediately understood.

The ten layers of protection provided by the track are like the effect of divine equipment; they are a completely conceptual mechanism.

No matter how weak or strong the attack, it will reduce one layer of protection.

In other words, under this rule, the real advantage doesn't come from the strength of the attack, but from who has the faster attack speed!
Whoever can deliver the most attacks in the shortest amount of time is the most threatening player on the field.

As long as the attack speed is high enough, more than ten attacks can be delivered in an instant, which can eliminate anyone, including himself and the Killing Saint!
