Roy and the other challengers lined up not far away, waiting for their turn.
At this moment, the battle on Lotus Rock Island's arena was between a High-level God of the Fire Element and a High-level God of the Water Element.
Flames and freezing air exploded on the stage.
With Roy's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the Fire Element High-level God had likely fused the Fire Element and the Explosion Profound Mysteries, making him a Five-star Devil. His opponent, on the other hand, had fused the Ice Sharpness and the Water Waves, both Laws Profound Mysteries.
The Fire Element was a primary profound mystery, while the Explosion Profound Mysteries was an advanced one. Ice Sharpness and Water Waves were both intermediate profound mysteries. On average, the two individuals' attainments in Laws Profound Mysteries were not significantly different.
The difference came from how their ultimate moves amplified the Laws Profound Mysteries.
In this regard, the Water Element High-level God was stronger.
The strength difference between the two was not large; if they were to fight a protracted battle, it might take days.
However, it was clear that those who came to fight on the Blood Battle Stage were all battle fanatics. Therefore, even though the Fire Element High-level God was slightly weaker than the Water Element High-level God, he did not retreat, meeting every attack head-on and never yielding an inch in swordplay.
After persisting for half an hour, the Fire Element High-level God's disadvantage grew, and he was eventually defeated by the Water Element High-level God.
"Mr. Water Willow wins! Congratulations to Mr. Water Willow for achieving his second consecutive victory."
Seeing that the outcome was decided, the arena manager immediately stepped forward.
"Mr. Water Willow, do you wish to continue challenging, or would you like to rest for a while?"
"I'll rest for a bit first."
Having just defeated a formidable opponent, the High-level God codenamed "Water Willow" had also expended considerable energy. If he continued to fight, his chances of losing would be high.
"Then, we invite the next two challengers, Mr. Blazing Flame and Mr. Mad Lion, to the stage."
After "Water Willow" stepped down, two High-level Gods emerged from the row where Roy was. Judging by their auras, the one codenamed "Blazing Flame" was a Fire Element High-level God, while "Mad Lion" was a Lightning Element High-level God.
"Boom!"
This battle ended quickly.
Almost as soon as it began, "Blazing Flame" was instantly killed by a lightning strike casually unleashed by "Mad Lion."
"Oh? This guy, he's a Six-star Devil who fused three Laws Profound Mysteries?"
The lightning strike that "Mad Lion" had just unleashed was not only fast but also carried a sense of pressure.
Clearly, this lightning strike had fused the Lightning Element, Lightning Speed, and Judgment, three Laws Profound Mysteries.
Roy was not the only one who noticed this.
Many people outside the arena had also figured it out.
In the Nine Nether Region, your strength might be lacking, but your eyesight absolutely cannot be.
The Blood Battle Stage held dozens, even hundreds, of battles every day. Even a pig, if lacking in strength, would develop eyes capable of discerning the approximate power of a move after watching battles for tens of thousands of years.
"Six-star Devil!"
"Ooh, ooh, ooh…"
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the middle-aged man named "Mad Lion" casually tossed the severely injured "Blazing Flame" aside. He then turned to the approaching manager and said, "Esteemed Manager, I wish to challenge for twenty consecutive victories. Please arrange it."
"Oh?"
Hearing Mad Lion's words, the arena manager glanced at him and confirmed, "Mr. Mad Lion, once a consecutive challenge begins, there will be no rest until you complete all twenty matches or are defeated. Do you confirm that you wish to challenge for twenty consecutive victories?"
Six-star Devils could be considered the backbone of the Blood Battle Stage.
When Seven-star Devils did not intervene, many Six-star Devils achieved ten, even twenty, consecutive victories.
However, reaching higher levels became much more difficult.
There were only two ways to become a veteran fighter in the Nine Nether Region.
First, endure through time.
After achieving ten consecutive victories, continue to fight against other ten-victory fighters. The winner's consecutive victory count accumulates, while the loser's count resets to zero.
Similarly, only when twenty-victory fighters battle each other can the winner accumulate a consecutive victory count exceeding twenty.
However, such consecutive victories were rare. Due to the scarcity of fighters with high consecutive victory counts, it might take over a thousand years for a fighter to reach ninety consecutive victories. Therefore, battles between ninety-victory fighters were a once-in-a-millennium event.
The second method was consecutive challenges!
This was also the method many strong individuals chose to quickly accumulate consecutive victories.
Strong individuals who were confident in themselves could declare their challenge for "ten consecutive battles," "twenty consecutive battles," or "fifty consecutive battles" upon stepping onto the stage. Upon successfully winning, they would become "ten-victory fighters," "twenty-victory fighters," or "fifty-victory fighters."
If they failed, then everything would be over.
"Mad Lion" had chosen the second method.
"Yes, I confirm."
Upon receiving Mad Lion's confirmation, the manager's voice broadcasted throughout the Blood Battle Stage: "Everyone, Mr. Mad Lion will be undertaking a challenge of twenty consecutive battles. The viewing fee for the upcoming matches will be raised to twenty Ink Stones."
"Furthermore, challengers who have registered for subsequent battles, if you lack confidence, you may withdraw."
In fact, after seeing the High-level God codenamed "Blazing Flame" instantly killed by "Mad Lion," some of the registered participants began to waver.
Their strength was similar to "Water Willow"'s, both being Five-star Devils who had fused two Laws Profound Mysteries. Well, in the Netherworld, they should be called Five-star Demons.
A Five-star Devil facing a Six-star Devil had no chance of winning.
If he went up directly, at best he'd be severely injured and need a few thousand years to recover; at worst, he could be completely annihilated.
Conveniently, Mad Lion was challenging for twenty consecutive wins, giving them a chance to back out.
Just like that, the number of people ahead of Roy dwindled to three.
Clearly, anyone who dared to stay wasn't ordinary.
"Mad Lion is challenging for twenty consecutive battles. The second battle begins!"
"Please welcome, Mr. Blood Hand!"
Blood Hand was a High-level God who cultivated the Destruction Rule. With every move, blood-colored mist filled the air, shrouding the entire Blood Battle Stage in a red haze.
Flashes of lightning and booming thunder filled the arena.
Even ordinary High-level Gods couldn't see through the battle within the blood mist.
However, for Roy, the fight between these two was no different from children playing.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Blood-colored sword shadows clashed with lightning sabers, erupting in violent roars.
If not for the Blood Battle Stage's barrier, some of the spectators might have been injured by the residual energy from their battle.
The High-level God "Blood Hand," who cultivated the Destruction Rule, was quite strong, but he ultimately fell to Mad Lion.
"Mad Lion's twenty consecutive wins, third battle victory!"
"Next, please welcome, Mr. Star!"
This one was even weaker than Blood Hand, and Mad Lion defeated him in less than three minutes.
"Mad Lion's twenty consecutive wins, fourth battle victory!"
"Next, please welcome, Mr. Star!"
Hearing the administrator call his name, Roy didn't delay and flew directly onto the Blood Battle Stage.
