Since Ye Tian reported to the battle zone in place of Daoist Wuchen, a full ten days have passed, and his cultivation level has only increased to the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
For ordinary people, even a genius who appears only once in a hundred lifetimes, this is a cultivation speed that can only be dreamed of.
What does it mean to break through two levels in ten days at the Celestial Immortal realm? Many people spend a year cultivating diligently but still can't break through even one level.
Ye Tian felt it wasn't enough!
There were only half a month to begin with, and now ten days have already passed. With only five days left, defeating an opponent at the Golden Immortal realm seems as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm grants the ability to fight against hundreds of opponents across five realms. Currently, Ye Tian can defeat a hundred experts at the third level of the Golden Immortal realm.
But that's not enough.
He had clearly sensed Huang Chao's cultivation level that day; it was at least at the tenth level of the Golden Immortal realm. Perhaps even higher.
The title "Martial Demon" only allowed Ye Tian to defeat someone at the first level of the Golden Immortal realm. It's useless now; unless he levels up, it won't offer him any help whatsoever.
Ye Tian's plan was to visit the war zone in the desolate city and see if he could upgrade his "Martial Fiend" title.
The importance of the war zone to the Desolate City is no less than that of Abbess Huayun to the Ruthless Sect. Without Abbess Huayun's refusal to attack her master, the Ruthless Sect wouldn't have been so cooperative. Similarly, without the war zone to accommodate these people's sparring and competitions, and without the harsh rules governing tattoos, the Desolate City wouldn't have been so cooperative.
In short, the war zone is a place for everyone in the desolate city to resolve conflicts.
This area is divided into two larger regions, north and south.
The Southern Theater Command is used to resolve internal conflicts, and anyone can sign up. The loser from both sides pays for the use of the ring and gets a tattoo on their face, a permanent stain on their reputation.
As long as this tattoo remains in the desolate city, it can never be removed. If it is removed and discovered by the winner, it can be reported and the person executed immediately.
The only way to erase a tattoo is to compete again. The winner of the match can use themselves as a tattoo to cover up the original shame.
The blue-clad man Ye Tian met that day had a tattoo that looked very much like his own. In reality, he was someone who had been tattooed and then covered up.
The Northern Theater Command is relatively official.
Often, the struggle between bandits and outlaws for resources didn't escalate to the point of attacking the Dead Man's County. Such conflicts would then be resolved through military contests in the Northern Theater Command.
Most importantly, the Northern Theater Command provides competition-based rewards.
If you can survive more than three rounds in the arena, you can receive different resource rewards in each round and also gain all of your opponent's assets.
Each realm in the Northern Region has its own unique arena. In each realm's arena, as long as you win enough times and become the arena champion, you can gain many privileges.
For example, the Desolate City allows arena champions at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to be exempt from the curfew—this is an absolute privilege. Furthermore, they can freely enter and exit various forbidden areas of the Desolate City, and every so often they are received by the leaders of bandits and outlaws.
Off-exchange betting in the North District has been developing for many years, with unimaginable profits. In a desolate city teeming with criminals, this brutal and violent battle is an artistic spectacle, and no one is stingy with their money.
This place is a sacred place for Ye Tian!
There are different realms. The Celestial Immortal realm has its own arena, the Golden Immortal realm has its own arena, and the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm also has its own arena.
Ye Tian possesses the ability to fight against a hundred opponents even if they are five realms above him. Anyone below the Golden Immortal realm, regardless of their combat strength, will be crushed by him.
What is there to fear from a Celestial Immortal? They can be defeated with a mere flick of the wrist!
"You want to participate?" The man in charge of the arena registration asked coldly without even looking up.
"yes."
"What level?"
"Nine levels of the Celestial Immortal Realm."
The man chuckled and asked, "You know the rules here, right?"
"I know, the loser gets a tattoo and hands over all their possessions."
"Good to know. What's your name?"
Yu Chengen
"Go in and compete," the man waved his hand dismissively. He encountered countless fools like this every day, trying their luck.
How can someone at the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm challenge the Celestial Immortal Arena?
That's practically suicide!
This is a desolate city, where everyone is not only a vicious criminal, but also one of the few powerful individuals of their kind in their realm. Those who can participate in the arena competition must be at least at the twelfth level of the Celestial Immortal realm.
Otherwise, there's absolutely no chance of victory. This kind of fool will definitely cause a stir in the audience; watching someone get humiliated in the ring is a great pleasure.
The man sneered.
They only knew that killing was forbidden in the deserted city. But they didn't know how many people were beaten to the point of death, stripped of all their possessions, forced to live a few days in their homes before finally dying.
This silly boy is very likely to end up like this.
The man impersonating Yu Chengen was, of course, Ye Tian.
This is a desolate city. Competing in the competition using my master's name would be too high-profile. If someone seeks revenge afterward and causes unnecessary trouble for my master, I might really die.
Since they were afraid of retaliation, they decided to use the name of a dead person.
The master of Huangyu Pavilion is Yu Chengen.
This is Ye Tian's current identity. He has upgraded the Mask of Freedom to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and now no one can see through his true face.
It's just not quite there yet; it's missing a truly pure and powerful Royal Spear.
Yu Chengen's weapon had already been broken by Ye Tian that day, and now it was too late for regrets. He could only hold a longsword, since not many people had ever seen Yu Chengen wield a gun.
"The match is about to begin. Please step into the arena." I heard a solemn voice resounding in my heart, like the sacred chant of the Great Dao.
Ye Tian was shocked; there were quite a few experts in this desolate city.
Entering the arena through the tunnel, accompanied by noisy screams and excited shouts, the road was lined with spectators sitting on both sides, just like watching a ball game in my previous life.
As soon as they stepped into the arena, the noisy sounds suddenly fell silent, as if someone had turned off the mute function.
Ye Tian closed his eyes and focused his senses. Sure enough, there was a powerful force of a Great Luo Golden Immortal protecting the arena like a shield. This must be the reason for the sound isolation.
Looking to the left and right, the audience had completely disappeared.
Clearly, the protective shield prevents those inside from looking out; only the audience can see them.
Ye Tian's understanding was suddenly refreshed. For the past ten days, he had regarded the desolate city as a barbaric land where even birds wouldn't bother, but today, seeing the arena protected by the shield, he suddenly seemed to understand the culture here.
The desolate city was also a city of the Feng Dynasty.
It has its own culture, a culture of mania, crime, and the art of murder.
This is absolutely awful!
Ye Tian detested this kind of culture, a culture built on mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and sin.
It deserved to be destroyed, to be destroyed forcefully!
Ye Tian glared at his opponent with murderous intent, while his opponent's eyes were also icy cold.
