"Child, the only condition for your survival is to give up the 'Golden Throne' in your hands and hand it over to me. This is your pledge to join the Pantheon," Ambis said coldly, as if it were a matter of course.
"Wait a minute..." Ye Kai interrupted him, both angry and amused. "Who do you think you are? Your so-called pledge... Under the highest rules of Nightmare Space, you don't mean anything! If you have the guts, come to me when I open the new world. I guarantee I won't kill you!"
"Are you looking for death!? Child, I, Ambis, the fierce warrior of the East District, am not making a request; this is an order, and you have no right to refuse."
For some reason, Ambis suddenly let out a cold laugh. "I am commanding you in my capacity as a steward of the Pantheon. Furthermore, everyone take notice: make sure to stop this person here. The divine lord has already learned about the situation here and has decided to confine this child in the square for a month. If he fails to complete his task by then, he will naturally die."
Confined in the square for a month?
He could return to his villa at any time; what were these people relying on?
"Steward of the Pantheon? An order?" Ye Kai scoffed and raised his middle finger. "You idiot, what qualifications do you have to command me?"
At the same time, Wood and his group had quietly left the square. Faced with the powerful Pantheon, they were worried but also somewhat aware of Ye Kai's strength.
Liu Zhongliang and others had informed them that Ye Kai was a Martial Arts True Immortal and also one of the Transmigrators, so they hardly attracted any notice from anyone.
In front of the formidable Pantheon, even Ning Fang, one of the so-called Eastern District Top Ten Warriors, along with Zhang Ding of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body and Qian Huan Jian Lin Sen, did not dare to easily provoke conflict.
It wasn't fear; it was simply unnecessary.
At the same time, to cope with the impending catastrophe, they needed to prepare more thoroughly for their own protection.
If they offended the Pantheon over something like the Golden Throne—a concept that had puzzled researchers for decades—it seemed utterly unwise.
Moreover, the Pantheon was not of one voice either!
The three of them wore bitter smiles on their faces. Ning Hao, who had long understood Ye Kai's strength, looked at the unfolding situation with a complex expression, while also wondering when he would be powerful enough to reach such heights.
Ambis seemed to have thought of something or received some news; his expression shifted from anger to calmness, as if he had anticipated this situation all along.
“Mr. Ye.” He opened his left palm, and a burst of light erupted, revealing a stack of white documents. He lightly shook it and read aloud, “Here is everything you have recorded, from the very beginning in the ‘Transcendence’ Divine Eagle world to the nine people you have encountered in the real world.”
“You can choose to leave the ‘Golden Throne’ behind, and I can choose to kill everyone you care about, everyone you have come into contact with.”
“Are you threatening me?” Ye Kai narrowed his eyes suddenly.
“This is not a threat; I am giving you an opportunity.” Ambis met Ye Kai's gaze calmly: “Hand over the ‘Golden Throne’ and join Pantheon, or eliminate everyone related to you. It’s your choice.”
“I choose… to eliminate you!” Ye Kai sneered, and the dark golden glass Long Rope shot out suddenly.
“Bang!”
Faced with such a decisive character, almost everyone present, except for a few Contractors, failed to react in time. In an instant, the Long Rope had already sent Ambis flying.
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Ye Kai's eyes as he blurred into motion, appearing almost instantaneously above the flying Ambis. With a flick of his wrist, the Hunsuo directly wrapped around him, spinning as it hurled him toward the outer wall of the distant hall.
His speed was faster than lightning but meticulously avoided all unrelated individuals, ensuring that no one was harmed in the process.
“Boom!!!”
The outer wall of the large hall, whose purpose was unknown, cracked under the impact, and small fragments of stone began to rain down from above.
“Puff!”
Ambis spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes bloodshot, his face flushed with rage. With an angry roar, he executed a high kick, effortlessly lifting a large piece of blue stone from the ground and hurling it forward.
Then, he stomped down hard, his body shrinking as if it had compressed several times. He lunged forward with the flipping boulder.
“Idiot!”
Seeing the massive stone hurtling toward him, along with Ambis hiding behind it, Ye Kai sneered disdainfully. With a flick of his wrist, Hunsuo moved like a dark golden serpent, agilely curling around in an arc to intercept.
At the same time, his long right leg traced a bright white arc through the air, resembling an unstoppable blade of light. With a thunderous crash, he shattered the giant stone into pieces.
“Bang!!!”
With a loud explosion of air, Ambis's form expanded again. He soared into the sky like a hawk, emitting a sharp cry as he pounced downward with his hands clawed like talons.
There was an unsettling sense of violent tremors about him, as if he were unpredictable and constantly shifting positions, preparing for a life-or-death strike.
Faced with the confrontation between two powerful figures, the crowd in the square quickly retreated. They were well aware of Ambis's formidable strength in the East District, and Ye Kai's terrifying lethality had already surpassed their imagination.
Until this moment, they had only just realized how ridiculous their attempt to intercept Ye Kai was.
Ye Kai's Whip Techniques transformed, becoming as agile and fluid as a serpent. At that moment, it suddenly morphed into the Azure Dragon, roaring upward with tremendous force.
"Bang!!!"
Watching as two hands resembling giant eagle claws attempted to strike at Hunsuo's vital point from the side, Ye Kai found it amusing yet contemptuous. He doubled the strength in his hand, and with a loud bang, he struck Ambis's hands, causing them to burst open and sending him flying.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
Seizing the opportunity to inflict damage, Ye Kai recalled an old saying: "Take advantage of someone's weakness to claim their life." Hunsuo suddenly transformed into countless whip shadows, raining down blows upon Ambis.
The two engaged in a relentless exchange of blows. As Ambis was sent flying with a desperate scream, he immediately retaliated with a furious barrage of attacks. However, everyone watched in disbelief as Ambis was once again sent flying, his clothes torn to shreds.
If he couldn't be killed, then let him be humiliated and enraged; that was Ye Kai's goal. Otherwise, given his strength alone, this so-called East District warrior would have long been left in pieces.
As their fists and legs collided, all that could be seen were blurred shadows, with fine dust being continuously shaken loose.
In an instant, they had already entered the grand entrance of the massive hall. Although there were many Contractors guarding outside, even they were at a loss for what to do and could only keep their distance.
"Ambis's Battle Axe!!!"
Ambis was on the verge of exploding with anger. He let out a low roar and shot into the sky, one leg raised high in a near-split position. Then, like lightning, he brought it down in a powerful strike, as if a massive battle axe had suddenly appeared before everyone.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Idiot!" Ye Kai smirked wickedly, his hand wielding Hunsuo as it created swirling afterimages that collided with the axe's edge.
Just as he was about to close the distance, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Ambis's descending leg, lifting him effortlessly and slamming him down towards the ground.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion echoed, causing everyone to break into a cold sweat and instinctively step back a few paces.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At that moment, Ye Kai's movements did not cease. He swung Ambis around one hundred eighty degrees and slammed him down on the other side. It was as if they were filming a movie or playing a game; within three seconds, Ambis had already made five or six intimate contacts with the ground.
"Stop!!!"
Just as Ye Kai was about to throw Ambis away, a furious shout rang out from not far away.
"Boom!"
Ye Kai casually tossed Ambis aside as if discarding trash. With a loud crash, Ambis smashed into the outer wall of the hall, leaving behind a massive crack.
“Wow, you damn bastard, go die!!!”
With a thunderous roar, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, a furious five-meter-tall bull with blood-red eyes charged forward, snorting white steam from its nostrils, exuding an unparalleled momentum.
Seeing this scene, Ye Kai not only showed no signs of retreat but instead revealed a wicked smile. He hurled the dizzy and disoriented Ambis forward with a swift motion of his hand.
“Ahhh!!!”
With a hoarse and piercing scream, there was a dull thud as Ambis flew through the air. Just as quickly as he had been thrown, he was caught again by Ye Kai and sent flying once more.
“Boom!!!”
The Crimson Bull's eyes widened in shock as it saw the figure coming at it again. It desperately tried to stop but realized it had charged too recklessly. In its frustration, it collided once more with Ambis.
This time, the two figures almost became entangled. The immense force of the Crimson Bull could not be halted so easily, and they rolled for twenty meters before crashing to the ground in front of Ye Kai.
Looking at the two figures with swirling eyes like spirals, Ye Kai understood that they hadn’t sustained much harm at all.
Despite Ambis spitting blood, it was merely from anger.
With the highest rules of Nightmare Space in effect, even if a nuclear bomb were dropped, neither would die; at most, they would suffer minor injuries—perhaps even avoiding fractures entirely. With a casual flick of his whip, he sent both men flying away and disdainfully remarked, “Trash is just trash. No matter how grand you try to appear, you’re still bound by your ugly fate. I’m waiting for your revenge; if you have the guts, don’t show up alone. Otherwise, I’ll kill every single one I see.”
“I will make you tremble in fear! I will haunt your dreams with terror! I will leave no one alive!”
"Wow!!!"
The entire square fell into silence in an instant, only to erupt moments later with a chorus of gasps. Everyone stared at Ye Kai, whose killing intent seemed almost tangible, as if an endless sea of corpses and blood had appeared before their eyes.
"Brother, now you understand what I mean, right?" Ning Hao whispered, his face pale.
Ning Fang, Zhang Ding, and Lin Sen were all struck with shock at the same time, their gazes turning towards the ashen-faced Ning Hao.
It was only at this moment that they realized the true meaning behind his earlier words; now they were witnessing a real upheaval.
"The Nightmare Space is about to change..." Ning Fang took a deep breath and murmured solemnly.
"Yes, it's about to change," Zhang Ding echoed, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
"Hey, Pantheon..."
Only Lin Sen's eyes suddenly blazed with excitement, his whole body trembling with anticipation.
