Chapter 1160: Ruthless Man and the Six-Eared Macaque

This was utterly surprising; people were stunned, all wide-eyed and speechless!

It was astonishing that such a scene unfolded: a group of burly men, all Divine Kings, appearing like this was both shocking and left people speechless. The two sides faced each other in a standoff.

The banquet hall fell silent. Everyone knew that things had escalated; the Wilderness Arena faction had initially only intended to display their strength and deter other parties.

Unexpectedly, the three youths were like formidable dragons, showing no fear as they simply walked over. Moreover, they summoned twenty-four Divine Kings, directly confronting the opposition.

Behind Chu Feng and Old Gu, most of the twenty-four burly men were dressed in formal attire, appearing refined and quite elegant.

This left people speechless. These were beings who usually fought on battlefields, often exuding monstrous bloodlust—all Divine Demons accustomed to wearing armor—yet today they were dressed like this.

Naturally, some were more unconventional.

Behind Dong Dahu, that Divine King, though wearing a formal suit, had a slicked-back hairstyle and was very rugged. In this setting, he was actually puffing on a cigar as thick as a carrot, blowing smoke everywhere.

What left Chu Feng speechless was that he was actually from the Primordial Brute Ox race.

Dong Dahu was also speechless. He had thought he'd encountered the Great Black Ox; this rough, massive horn, like two broadswords, jutted skyward from his slicked-back hair.

“Young brothers, what is the meaning of this?”

Opposite them, Xu Kun, the young man from the Wilderness Arena, could no longer remain aloof. He frowned, his expression unnatural. What kind of situation was this?

He had mobilized sixteen Divine Kings, but the other side had immediately summoned twenty-four, completely unafraid.

“Do you intend to cause trouble here today?” Xu Kun said, his white shirt spotless. His eyes were bright as he stared at the group.

Old Gu remained silent, holding his head high. Though appearing as a youth, he was remarkably calm, his deep eyes gazing forward without speaking.

Behind him, the twenty-four Divine Kings each revealed traces of blood aura, surging forward. This was terrifying. Most of those present were young; how could they withstand it? They all felt their hearts pound and couldn't help but tremble.

Naturally, the twenty-four Divine Kings primarily targeted the Wilderness Arena.

Everyone realized that these were truly formidable individuals, daring to be so unyielding even on the Wilderness Arena's home ground. They clearly had strong backing.

“Are we in the wrong here?”

Old Gu finally spoke, showing no sign of backing down.

Xu Kun was a Divine-level evolver, barely an adult, and considered extraordinarily gifted for his age. Usually gentle and refined, he exuded a powerful aura when serious.

His expression was grim. In this situation, he didn't want to back down.

At his signal, someone departed to call for reinforcements.

At the same time, Old Gu let out a cold snort. Behind him, the twenty-four Divine Kings took a step forward together. With a rumble, like a galaxy pouring forth, a misty blood aura appeared and pressed forward.

It didn't target the innocent, but merely suppressed the opposing sixteen Divine Kings!

Instantly, Old Gu's side exuded a dense Divine King's blood aura, shielding the three of them, causing all sixteen on the opposite side to sway, and even the elegant young master Xu Kun stumbled backward.

This was even with Xu Kun under the protection of Divine Kings.

“Hmph, who dares to be disrespectful?!”

Just then, a cold snort came from nearby, and a man approached. His golden hair fell to his shoulders, a length neither long nor short for an evolved Divine Demon.

He was dressed in formal attire, strong but slender, standing about 1.95 meters tall.

His pupils were also golden, and a fresh red mark, imbued with a baleful aura, adorned his brow. This man was very powerful, walking with imposing strides, and was a Divine King himself.

“Mihong!”

Someone exclaimed in surprise, clearly wary of his identity.

Then, hushed whispers spread through the area. Everyone was astonished; Mihong's arrival caused a significant stir, indicating his status.

Amidst the discussions, Chu Feng was surprised to learn that this was someone from the Wilderness Arena's true major shareholder family. As for Xu Kun's family, they were only considered minor shareholders.

The major shareholder of the Wilderness Arena was the Six-Eared Macaque lineage, a truly powerful race. Their numbers were never large throughout generations, but they were supremely formidable, capable of battling against heaven and earth.

It was said that they belonged to the primordial races, among the earliest beings born from chaos. Only a few races, like the Six-Eared Macaques, had managed to maintain their bloodline to this day.

Anyone from this race, when they emerged, could stir up boundless storms; all of them were formidable figures.

The Wilderness Arena was one of the best in Mingzhou, standing alongside the Demi-Immortal Race. No one dared to provoke them, precisely because the Six-Eared Macaque race stood behind them.

Legend had it that the total number of individuals in this race never exceeded ten, but each one was an unparalleled genius.

They relied on their dominant bloodline. Though it was difficult for them to have offspring even when intermarrying with powerful races, if offspring did appear, they were invariably Six-Eared Macaques.

As Mihong approached, the aura he naturally emitted was quite intimidating. It was as if people saw a golden, demonic monkey battling against heaven and earth, shattering the cosmos, crushing stars, its gaze piercing through ancient and modern times, sharp and terrifying.

This was an extraordinary phenomenon, the oppressive force emanating from his blood aura, allowing people to vaguely glimpse the immense power of his ancestors.

With his arrival, six more Divine Kings followed. Mihong was indeed domineering and powerful, leading twenty-four Divine Kings in a direct confrontation. This was their home turf, and they would not allow outsiders to act arrogantly.

“My lord, there’s no need to worry. Some of our brothers are coming from further away, but they’ll be here soon!” someone reported to Old Gu.

Mingzhou was vast, and this organization was extremely powerful. The number of Divine Kings in this province was naturally far more than what was currently visible; more were still on their way.

Some were currently rushing here via teleportation arrays!

Indeed, moments later, there was movement. Someone bellowed and strode forward, stripping off their battle armor while donning a formal suit. There was even fresh blood on the armor, indicating they had clearly been fighting outside and rushed here after receiving the notification.

Everyone felt dizzy. What was happening? Was this a grand showdown of Divine Kings?

“Brother, don’t take off your armor! You’ll have to put it back on in a bit!”

The powerful Brute Ox clansman behind Dong Dahu grunted, still puffing on his cigar and blowing smoke, reminding the newly arrived Divine Kings to prepare for battle.

In just a moment, nearly ten more Divine Kings appeared behind Old Gu and Chu Feng. The number instantly soared past thirty; things had truly escalated.

What was even more astonishing was that the number of Divine Kings behind Old Gu and Chu Feng was still growing. Before long, four more arrived!

Not to mention others, even the people from the Wilderness Arena were stunned. Even Mihong, from the Six-Eared Macaque lineage—a bloodline born from chaos, renowned for battling heaven and earth—felt a headache coming on.

As a descendant of the major shareholder, he had appeared intending to exert some deterrence. Who could have known that the opposing side consisted of three prehistoric fierce dragons, ready to stir up a storm in Mingzhou?

No need to think much; what happened tonight was sure to make headlines in several best-selling newspapers in the Yang Realm, causing a sensation.

To maintain balance, in a world where Heavenly Venerables could not act freely and rarely appeared, Divine Kings were the backbone. Their numbers represented strength.

Now, both sides had suddenly gathered dozens of Divine Kings. What kind of uproar was this going to be?!

Everyone felt a chill. They sensed that Old Gu, Chu Feng, and the third person had extraordinary backgrounds. They speculated if they were heirs of the Eternal Clan, or closed-door disciples of some great power? How could they be so influential?!

At this moment, the white-clothed girl Chen Yu, the red-clothed woman Liu Yun, and the young man Zhou Yuan all felt a shiver of fear, their scalps tingling. They didn't know whether to be afraid or relieved.

The iron plate they had kicked was too hard; these were ruthless figures who dared to challenge the Wilderness Arena!

Moreover, they were three devilish youths who remained calm even when directly confronting the Six-Eared Macaque lineage, the major shareholder. It was simply too bizarre!

Chen Yu, Liu Yun, and Zhou Yuan felt an inner chill and a surge of belated fear. They were fortunate that no fierce conflict had occurred just now, otherwise, it would have been impossible to resolve.

However, they were also somewhat worried. What if they were to face retribution later? That would be miserable. A shadow appeared in their hearts.

“Grand-uncle, we have a situation here. Protecting our lord might be difficult!”

Just then, the rugged man with rough horns, a slicked-back hairstyle, and a cigar between his lips, directly opened his communicator and spoke to someone, requesting support.

Everyone was flabbergasted. How many Divine Kings had already been summoned? And they could still mobilize more, still call for reinforcements?!

“Grand-uncle, the other Divine Kings in Mingzhou might be on special missions and unreachable. Please send reinforcements from neighboring provinces!” The brute ox snorted white smoke from his nose, ending the call.

For a moment, silence fell over the place.

Chen Yu, Liu Yun, and Zhou Yuan felt their hearts turn cold; they almost wished they were dead. What kind of people had they provoked? An organization whose influence spanned across several provinces? The number of Divine Kings in this single province was already terrifying enough, and now they were calling for people from other provinces, all for three youths! It was beyond ridiculous!

“Roar!”

Just then, a terrifying roar came from outside the building. Even though the entire building was made of special materials and inscribed with order symbols, those special materials were now cracking and then bursting apart.

Next, a colossal beast charged in. It was a pure-blooded Taotie, incredibly ferocious. Its gaping maw and terrifying fangs were horrific; this creature could devour all things, even the void itself.

This race was extremely rare; their numbers were probably not much greater than that of the Six-Eared Macaques. Yet, one had appeared here!

“Where are the three young lords? Old Taotie has arrived!” it bellowed. It barged into the banquet hall, causing various distinguished guests to shriek, and then directly joined the Divine Kings around Old Gu.

“The Taotie Divine King is here!” A group of people gasped. Not to mention them, even the Divine Kings present were startled and awestruck; this fierce beast dared to eat even Divine Kings!

The Taotie Divine King was the head of the organization Old Gu founded in Mingzhou!

Mihong’s sword-like brows twitched. This was truly... hellish!

He had thought that his mere appearance would subtly suppress all other parties. Even if these three had extraordinary backgrounds, they couldn't compare to the Six-Eared Macaque race.

However, these people were simply too domineering. Divine Kings arrived one batch after another, making him break out in a sweat. In terms of both quantity and quality, they were no weaker than the Wilderness Arena.

Next, as the domain teleportation runes flashed, roars shook the heavens throughout the giant city.

In a short time, over a dozen more Divine Kings arrived. They had all rushed from neighboring provinces, charging into the building according to their coordinates.

And this was just the beginning; it was far from over. Divine Kings from neighboring provinces were mobilizing and shouting messages, issuing challenges on dark forums, declaring they were coming to kill!

This day was destined to be anything but peaceful. Newspapers and other media were bound to sell out.

Mihong’s face twitched, his mouth twitching. He couldn't stand it. Opposite him, a dense mass of Divine Kings, easily fifty or sixty of them, was still growing!

If a fight broke out, regardless of victory or defeat, the Wilderness Arena would suffer heavy losses.

Summon a Heavenly Venerable? Don't be ridiculous. If the other side could mobilize so many Divine Kings, how could they not have even higher-level peerless experts overseeing them? And once it escalated to that point, it would truly be irreversible; a bloody war was destined to erupt!

For so many years, Heavenly Venerables had rarely appeared precisely to avoid conflicts of this magnitude, whose destructive power was too astonishing.

The Wilderness Arena was a business. Although the Six-Eared Macaque race was powerful, they would never wage a senseless war. It was better to conduct business discreetly, and they absolutely could not actively trigger a bloody war that could be avoided.

Therefore, Mihong's expression stiffened. At this crucial moment, it was Xu Kun, the heir of the minor shareholder family, who stepped forward, trying to make his smile appear gentle.

“My three brothers, why such great anger? It's completely unnecessary. I think we are kindred spirits and should sit down for a good talk. We can cooperate in the future!”

Upon hearing this, Mihong's fiery temper immediately cooled. He also offered a faint smile and said, “My three brothers, such spirit! I admire people like you. This aligns with my nature. True men should be like this, fearless in the face of trouble!”

His golden hair shone brilliantly, emitting dazzling light. His face was fair, and his golden eyes were sharp; he was altogether very handsome. Smiling, he gestured, inviting Old Gu and his companions to the VIP Hall, where they would enjoy drinks and conversation, and he would treat them to gladiator duels.

“Indeed, please!” Old Gu said with style, strolling forward. He didn't press the issue or act unforgiving despite being in the right.

Chu Feng and Dong Dahu naturally walked alongside him.

Everyone's eyes were wide with amazement. These three were truly the overlords among formidable newcomers, emperors among powerful figures. They were so incredibly formidable; they had actually made the Wilderness Arena compromise just like that?

However, people also had to concede, because the Divine Kings behind Old Gu and his companions were still increasing. In a blink of an eye, nearly ten more had appeared; it was truly dizzying and terrifying.

However, on the way, Old Gu saw a poster and instantly revealed his anger, saying, “Who is this?!”

It was Yuan Mo, his bronze-colored upper body bare, confined within an iron cage, one of the slaves set to appear in the arena tonight.

“Oh, that? Just a lowly slave,” Xu Kun introduced with refined composure. “It's said he might have some underworld origins.”

“You’re asking for death!” Old Gu roared in anger.

A thousand mythical beasts seemed to roar through Xu Kun's mind. *Damn, you turn hostile so quickly! Aren’t you being a bit too domineering?*

Dong Dahu and Chu Feng's hearts skipped a beat. They secretly wanted to say, “Old Gu, that’s enough. Saving the person is more important; don’t overact.”

“What do you mean?!” Mihong was annoyed. As a descendant of a primordial chaotic being, his bloodline was terrifying and rare in the world; he was somewhat provoked.

“My son, you’ve been dead for so many years, and today I actually see someone identical to you here,” Old Gu burst into tears.

Chu Feng and Dong Dahu were dumbfounded, then angered. Was this scoundrel Old Gu taking advantage of them while saving someone? They were peers with Yuan Mo.

“How old are you even?!” Mihong said coldly.

“This old man has returned to his youth, and the cultivation method I practice is special!” Old Gu retorted angrily. Then, hot tears actually rolled down his eyes, in pairs, as he gazed at the poster in prolonged silence.

“Old Gu, you’ve gone too far!” Dong Dahu secretly warned.

“No, I haven’t! He really looks like my son! Why didn't I notice before, my son!” Old Gu roared.

Then, people saw a group of burly men, all Divine Kings, blocking off the banquet hall. The Taotie Divine King even shouted, “My lord, shall we kill them all?!”

Everyone's hair stood on end. Where did these ruthless people come from? They were simply too bizarre!
