Chapter 1042
Yi Tianyun didn’t need to force Earth Monarch Tegu out of the arena; he only needed to reveal his true form. Once he evaded, the outcome was clear.
Earth Monarch Tegu sprouted twelve arms, his entire body turning pitch black as his wounds rapidly healed. These were unique traits of the Evil Spirit Race. Even absorbing the blood of the Evil Spirit Race wouldn’t release such pure power.
Despite Earth Monarch Tegu’s mixed constitution, his essence remained that of the Evil Spirit Race. To conceal this, he absorbed multiple bloodlines. However, in the face of danger, his true power would erupt. When Earth Monarch Tegu unleashed his full strength, the Tianchen Divine Spear, which had pierced his body, was expelled by his hardened form, transforming into an arrow aimed at Yi Tianyun.
Yi Tianyun extended his hand and caught it with a “bang.” The force caused a slight tremor but did not push him back.
“This is your true power. If you had fought me with this strength from the beginning, it would have been a tough battle,” Yi Tianyun remarked, examining Earth Monarch Tegu. The combination of his formidable physique and terrifying power, enhanced by various bloodlines, made him a formidable opponent.
Unfortunately, the Evil Spirit Race could not remain here. No matter how powerful he was, could he be stronger than the five elders? A single divine lord could crush him to a pulp.
“Roar!” Earth Monarch Tegu bellowed in rage, charging at Yi Tianyun with fury. “I’ll kill you!”
His true form exposed, Earth Monarch Tegu, infuriated, intended to drag Yi Tianyun down with him, even if it meant his death. However, a figure moved faster than him, appearing in front of him in an instant. With a light touch, the figure forced Earth Monarch Tegu to kneel.
“I didn’t expect he really was an Evil Spirit Race member, and he managed to infiltrate!” Elder Gou Huang’s eyes glinted coldly. With a little more force, he could crush Earth Monarch Tegu into a bloody pulp!
However, Elder Gou Huang wouldn’t kill Earth Monarch Tegu immediately; otherwise, they couldn’t extract any information from him.
The audience was stunned, recalling Yi Tianyun’s earlier words and feeling embarrassed. They had believed Yi Tianyun was slandering his opponent to advance easily.
Now, it was clear they were wrong. Yi Tianyun hadn’t spoken falsely; Earth Monarch Tegu was indeed from the Evil Spirit Race. His true form being exposed was a slap in the face for the five divine realms’ enforcers, who had failed to detect anything despite thorough examinations.
Because of this, many trusted the authorities over Yi Tianyun’s words. The truth now was a heavy slap, proving that so-called authority was not always reliable!
Other elders flew over, looking at Earth Monarch Tegu in astonishment. They turned to Yi Tianyun, and Elder Tianfa asked, “How did you recognize him?”
“It was a feeling. The Evil Spirit Race invaded my homeland, so I have a strong sense for it. Besides, I’d rather kill by mistake than let one escape!” Yi Tianyun’s eyes were icy cold as he spoke.
Naturally, he couldn’t mistake such a thing. His Probe Eye could detect deeply buried traits, a benefit of its upgrade.
The five elders were slightly moved. No wonder Yi Tianyun was so sure. Sometimes, it was better to be safe than sorry. If it truly was a threat, it could lead to more casualties!
Though it seemed cruel, they had done the same before. Countless souls had fallen at their hands for the greater good.
“Speak! What was your purpose for being here?” Elder Gou Huang demanded coldly.
All eyes were on them now, the unexpected turn of events shocking everyone. What started as a straightforward duel had taken a surprising turn, thankfully discovered by Yi Tianyun in time. Had Earth Monarch Tegu successfully joined the five divine realms, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Fortunately, Yi Tianyun had uncovered the truth, preventing a potential disaster.
“Do you think I’ll tell you?” Earth Monarch Tegu sneered, eyes filled with contempt. Since he had been exposed, there was no point in denying it.
“Elder Gou Huang, why bother questioning him? Just soul-search him!” another elder suggested sharply.
The simplest and most direct method against such individuals was soul-searching. They might not extract everything, but they would get enough. Torture was pointless; no matter how much they cut him, Earth Monarch Tegu wouldn’t talk! His resolve was unbreakable.
They dared to infiltrate because they were prepared to die. Thus, any form of coercion was meaningless.
Elder Gou Huang nodded and turned to Yi Tianyun, his gaze sharp. “Can you sense if there are others with Evil Spirit Race blood?”
He suspected other Evil Spirit Race members might have infiltrated and wanted Yi Tianyun to help identify them. They couldn’t sense it, but maybe Yi Tianyun could.
Yi Tianyun nodded and scanned the audience. Those he looked at retreated in fear, worried about being misidentified.
Since they believed in killing by mistake rather than letting one escape, being misjudged would be disastrous.
Yi Tianyun scanned carefully, capturing detailed data with his Probe Eye. After a moment, he pointed to someone. “Him!”
At his signal, the audience member was dragged out and thrown into the arena, immediately restrained.
“You… you’re slandering me! I’m not from the Evil Spirit Race!” the spectator shouted in panic, denying the accusation.
The audience exchanged uneasy glances. If Yi Tianyun were wrong, it would be a joke.
“Attack them to trigger their bloodline protection!” Yi Tianyun directed the enforcers.
Without hesitation, the enforcers attacked, piercing the spectator’s body. As the spectator neared death, their bloodline protection activated, revealing eight arms—a clear mark of the Evil Spirit Race!
The crowd was dumbfounded. Yi Tianyun had accurately identified them amidst the spectators.
“And him!”
Yi Tianyun continued to point out individuals, each time causing a stir. One by one, the identified spectators were pushed out. No one doubted Yi Tianyun’s ability now; it was clear he had a unique talent.
