Chapter 1579 A Display of Overwhelming Prowess
"Now then, as you can see for yourself, it appears that Player Yuan intends to fight the Fiery Garden of Hell by himself! That's one to 600,000 players! What kind of secret trick does he have up his sleeves to have so much confidence?!" Yan Xiaoxiao spoke with excitement. She was one of the very few people who weren't angry at Yuan and even believed in him.
"Before we begin the match, allow me to give you all a brief explanation of the new rules."
"Due to the generosity of a profound expert in formations, the Great Battlefield has gone through several renovations that will enhance our players' experience and our entertainment!"
"With this formation, we will no longer have to worry about accidental deaths, allowing the players to truly go all out with their powerful techniques!"
"However! While players won't die even if a sharp sword strikes their neck, they will still feel some of the pain, so it's not completely risk-free!"
"Although players can no longer die, they will still carry a badge that represents their life, and if broken, they will be disqualified. A player will also be disqualified if they are knocked unconscious, which may happen if they suffer enough damage."
"We will now briefly demonstrate the formation's functions." Two individuals appeared inside the arena and, before hundreds of millions of spectators, began hacking their sharp swords at each other's bare bodies without any hesitation or holding back.
Many powerful blows later, not a single life-threatening injury could be seen on their body. Besides a few bruises, they looked otherwise completely fine.
"As you just witnessed, this formation is very reliable!" Yan Xiaoxiao commented as the two demonstrators left the arena.
The crowd cheered loudly, causing the entire stadium to tremble.
Sometime later, Yan Xiaoxiao received word that the Faction War would officially begin.
"Alright, you've all been waiting for long enough! The Faction War between Demon Sealing Faction— Player Yuan and Fiery Garden of Hell will begin now!"
A flare shot straight into the sky before exploding into a blue mist, signifying the start of the Faction War.
Once Fiery Queen saw this, she pointed toward the direction of Yuan's castle and shouted in a commanding voice, "Teach that arrogant bastard what happens when he underestimates us, the Fiery Garden of Hell!"
However, before the 600,000 members of the Fiery Garden of Hell could go anywhere, they halted their advancement and stared at the massive figure in the distance with bewildered expressions.
Meanwhile, Yuan activated God of War's Astral Arts the moment the match began.
"W-what the fuck is that?! It's huge!"
"A giant! It's a giant!"
The spectators watched with wide eyes and mouths as Yuan controlled the avatar, sweeping the arena with a golden sword.
Seeing this, the players on the field dropped their weapons and immediately began running away. Yet, none was able to out run the sword.
The moment the avatar struck the ground, the entire Great Battlefield shook violently, and a deep fissure appeared in the arena.
Before the Fiery Garden of Hell members could even leave their base, over 300,000 players were removed from the Faction War with a single strike.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan had annihilated half of the Fiery Garden of Hell's players.
The spectators were speechless. Yan Xiaoxiao was speechless. There was not a single person watching who wasn't shocked by what they had just witnessed.
Once she snapped out of her daze, Yan Xiaoxiao commented, her voice filled with excitement, "HEAVENS! WHAT A POWER PLAY! Player Yuan disqualified 301,283 players with a single strike the moment the match began! How will Fiery Queen and her faction respond to this?!"
After the sudden attack, Fiery Queen sat on her buttocks with a dazed look on her face as she stared at the golden giant that overlooked them from above like a god, feeling like an ant. "I-it's not over! He must have consumed most, if not all, of his energy on that one attack!" Fiery Queen eventually recovered.
The very next moment, not wanting to finish the Faction War too quickly, Yuan deactivated God of War's Astral Arts.
Fiery Queen misunderstood this and became convinced that Yuan had exhausted all of his energy.
The remaining Fiery Garden of Hell players struggled to get back on their feet before advancing toward Yuan's castle again.
However, before they could take more than ten steps, a beam of light suddenly appeared from the direction of their destination.
This beam of light contained an immense amount of spiritual energy, and everyone struck by it was instantly knocked unconscious. The same thing happened to those hit by the God of War's Astral Arts.
Suddenly, another 50,000 Fiery Garden of Hell players were removed from the battlefield.
"M-my god! What on earth was that laser technique just now?! I have never seen—" Yan Xiaoxiao cried out loud.
Before Yan Xiaoxiao could even finish her sentence, Yuan launched another Heaven Splitting Sword Strike at the Fiery Garden of Hell, defeating another 32,000 players in the blink of an eye.
Several more Heaven Splitting Sword Strikes appeared shortly after, giving Fiery Garden of Hell no room to breathe as they were bombarded with powerful techniques from across the arena.
Less than a minute had passed since the match began, yet Fiery Garden of Hell's impressive 600,000 player number had been reduced to just 100,000.
The spectators were unsure of what they were witnessing, but as Yuan's overwhelming abilities became apparent, a palpable fear began to spread among them.
"If it weren't for the formation, he would've killed half a million people just like that…"
"What kind of monstrous power is that? What if he suddenly decides to use it for evil? Who could stop him then?"
These kinds of questions began to arise in people's minds. They feared that Yuan was too powerful, that he wielded unchecked and uncontrollable power that could spell the end of the world if he chose to end it.
