The restrictions around the arena slowly dissipated.

The Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect put away the crystal ball and staff, taking a step back to the Lawful alignment.

The Demigods of the Chaotic alignment watched his figure, falling into silence.

Clearly, the Star Lord's combat power exceeded everyone's expectations. This Demigod had been in seclusion for sixty years, rarely taking action. Records of his achievements were almost nonexistent.

The Demigods present only knew of two instances. One was when Shura blocked the gates of the capital, and the Star Lord and Fire God personally confronted him. That battle didn't cause much commotion, and the true situation was unknown.

The other was the battle for the Light Compass, where the Star Lord's performance was mediocre.

Everyone knew that the Star Lord excelled at deduction and unparalleled strategy. They also knew he only excelled at deduction and strategy. No one expected him to display such astonishing combat power today.

The God of Wine died because of it.

Lingtu suddenly raised his head, revealing his pale and handsome face! His dark eye sockets were deep and contemplative, as if pondering something.

In contrast, the Lawful Demigods were overjoyed. In truth, they didn't believe the Star Lord would necessarily win. The power of the Sun God restrained chaotic abilities, but the Star Lord wasn't a Demigod who mainly cultivated the sun; he controlled the origin of stars.

And stars were not good at combat.

It was just that there was no one more suitable than the Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect, so they pushed him forward. If he lost, it would only cost a few points.

They didn't expect the Star Lord to defeat the God of Wine with overwhelming force, displaying astonishing combat power.

While the Lawful Demigods were shocked by the Star Lord's combat power, they silently calculated in their hearts.

The strongest in the Chaotic alignment was Shura. In a one-on-one fight, only Void could contend with him, and even then, it was just contention, with a very low chance of winning.

Beyond Shura were the God of Wine, the Lord of Myriad Demons, and Lingtu. The first two were level 11 powerhouses. Apart from the slumbering Gods of Wind and Thunder, no one could contend with them.

The latter was the Lord of Taiyin. In terms of level, Lingtu, who had just completed the Taiyin, was at level 10, but his rank was higher than ordinary Demigods.

Now that the God of Wine was dead, the only ones who could pose an overwhelming threat to the Lawful Demigods were these three.

The remaining Chaotic Demigods, despite being stronger than the Lawful ones due to their class characteristics, were only slightly stronger at the same level and couldn't form an overwhelming advantage.

Fu Qingxuan scrutinized the Star Lord for a moment, retracting her moonlight and saying, "In the second match, the Chaotic alignment will likely send Lingtu, Shura, or the Lord of Myriad Demons. Although Lingtu has just become the Lord of Taiyin, the complete Taiyin rank is higher than ours. Who among you will handle the second match?"

The Void Demigod crossed his arms, saying, "Clearly, it's safest for me to go. Whether it's Lingtu or the Lord of Myriad Demons, I can suppress them. But this time, we're sending personnel first. If I go, and they send Shura... then I might have to delete my account and start over."

"But if I don't go, anyone of you who goes will allow them to use Lingtu and the Lord of Myriad Demons to win."

Old Ancestor Liu stroked the tortoise shell in his hand. "The second match can be conceded to the Chaotic alignment. We happen to have some points to expend on one of the three. Let the Void Demigod deal with the other one. That way, we'll be tied at two to one. Then, as long as we win one more match, we can seize a Formation Core."

"After that, if everyone has to compete once before the arena competition ends, then there will be five more rounds, corresponding to the Fear King, a God, and a Candle Dragon."

"In these five matches, as long as we win two, the Chaotic alignment will only have five Demigods left after the arena competition, while we'll still have ten. Even if we only win one match out of the five, we'll still have eleven Demigods and can still win the Formation Core competition by outnumbering the Chaotic alignment."

The Liu family Demigod continued, "The worst-case scenario is losing all five subsequent matches. The five Alliance Leaders can combine to restrain Shura, and we'll still have five Demigods, while the Chaotic alignment will have four. Due to the characteristics of the Chaotic classes, the odds are even. But losing all five matches is impossible. In our alignment, we still have the Goddess of Beauty. With her specialty, as long as she doesn't encounter the Illusion God, Shura, or Lingtu, she'll be invincible."

The Star Lord had opened up the situation for the Lawful alignment.

The Liu family Demigod gave a conclusive summary, "In this arena competition, the Lawful side has at least an 80% chance of winning."

However, at that moment, a Spiritual Realm notification sounded in everyone's ears:

[Ding, rules updated, the restriction of each person only being able to participate once has been cancelled...]

[Ding! The above rule has been cancelled!]

[Ding, rules updated, the immunity to death through points has been cancelled. The above rule has been cancelled...]

[Ding! Rules updated, either side only needs to win three matches to end the arena competition!]

Listening to the notification in their ears, the Demigods felt like they had entered a women's bathhouse, one wave after another....

They realized that the Spiritual Realm was fighting against the invaders.

After the God of Wine's death, the situation became favorable to the Lawful alignment, so the invaders tried to interfere with the Spiritual Realm, formulating new rules that favored the Chaotic alignment, such as removing the limit on the number of participations and the point-based death immunity, but they were unsuccessful.

Judging from the results, both sides had made certain "compromises". The arena competition had an additional condition for ending.

The Demigods didn't have to fight to the last person. Whether Lawful or Chaotic, as long as they won three matches, they could end the arena competition and enter a new round of Formation Core battles.

The Void Demigod looked at Old Ancestor Liu and asked, "What's the win rate now?"

The Liu family Demigod held it in for a long time, then waved his sleeve and said, "Less than 50%."

Shura, the Lord of Myriad Demons, and Lingtu could almost certainly win two matches, after all, the Lawful side still had the Void, a player who could supposedly take on three opponents with enough spending.

The remaining two Demigods from the Nihility Sect and two Demigods from the Psionic Society were stronger than the Lawful Demigods of the same level due to their class characteristics, so the win rate was less than 50%.

The Void Demigod sucked in a breath of cold air, "We can't even achieve a 50-50 split, isn't that going to be bad?"

"So who's going up for the second match?" Chief Chi Huo rubbed his hands.

"In terms of destructive power, I'm stronger than all of you, and I can keep being reborn in flames. Whether it's Lingtu or the Lord of Myriad Demons, as long as they can't kill me, they'll be blown to death by me."

The Demigods looked at each other, unable to refute.

Marshal's output was undeniably the best among the Demigods.

But her weakness was also obvious. She lacked defense and self-healing abilities. She was very strong in team fights, as long as there was defense and healing support, she would be invincible.

But in an arena battle where there was no escape, she was too easily targeted. On the other hand, the Fire God's self-destruct ultimate move was no weaker than Marshal's, and the passive skill "Rebirth in Flames" allowed him to keep respawning and exploding until his spiritual power was exhausted.

If he was determined to die together with the Chaotic Demigods, he could definitely do it. Except for Shura, the Chaotic alignment Demigods were all at risk of dying.

"Fu Qingxuan!"

Several kilometers away, the Fear King's voice came, "Do you dare to have a life-or-death battle with me? I'll bet my life, and you bet your life, just like back then. If you dare, then come to the arena."

Fu Qingxuan turned her head and looked at the handsome young man in a dark black suit and a silver men's earring on his left ear, responding faintly.

"Fear, I won't bet the entire Lawful side on an emotional fight with you."

The Fear King raised an eyebrow.

"I guarantee you that as long as you go, your opponent will definitely be me. If anyone violates the code of honor and replaces me, even if it's Shura, I'll turn against them!"

Hearing this, Fu Qingxuan pondered for a moment and looked at her companions, "I think it's possible. I have confidence in defeating Fear. If he deceives me and Shura comes on stage, I can use points for immunity."

The Star Lord shook his head slightly, "What if the Psionic Society's Candle Dragon comes on stage?"

The Candle Dragon's skills countered scouts. Once Fu Qingxuan lost to the Candle Dragon, Shura, Lingtu, and the Lord of Myriad Demons would still be a three-to-two situation, and the Lawful alignment would lose the arena competition.

The subsequent change would be that the Chaotic alignment would control three Formations, and the Lawful alignment would control two.

"If there's another arena competition after that, the Lawful alignment will have almost no chance of winning. The ending will be total annihilation in the instance. Chief Jiang going is the safest. Whether it's the Illusion God or the Candle Dragon, they can't counter him. Explosion is art." The Void Demigod said.

As the Fire God's strongest killing move – Self-Destruction!

Even the Illusion God's void ability couldn't completely dissolve the power of the explosion, and the Candle Dragon would be even more unable to, only able to withstand the Fire God's self-destruction.

Chief Jiang landed proudly on the arena.

The Fear King looked disappointed.

Chief Jiang with fiery red hair glared at the Chaotic Demigods, "Which of you will fight?"

Shura, a three-headed, eight-armed figure like an iron tower, landed silently on the arena.

Before the sound could fade, the Lawful Demigods behind him raised their hands in unison, "Surrender, exempt from this arena battle."

Chief Jiang's expression froze instantly.

Only then did Shura seem to react, nodding towards Jiang Bangsheng.

"You motherfucker..." Chief Jiang's forehead veins burst as he left the barrier, just as he had descended, and opened the arena.

Then it receded again. The effect of a Formation of the Lawful alignment began to deduct one day.

Shu Mountain.

The golden arrow hit Nvba and disappeared silently, as if it had been transported to another time and space.

Zhang Yuanqing, who had prepared for a long time, calmly grabbed the Purple-Gold Shield and activated the second form of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, forming two layers of protection in front of him.

Creak! Amidst the harsh noise, the Purple-Gold Shield was directly pierced, and then the phantom of the Golden Dragon coiling around his body shattered.

Zhang Yuanqing calmly snapped his fingers, casting the Star Escape Technique to create distance.

The moment he snapped his fingers

"Pa!"

He saw a flash of white light on the crown on Nvba's head, and then, in his vision, the world began to turn upside down.

"Gurgle..."

Zhang Yuanqing's head rolled off his neck, falling to the ground covered in blood.
