"Boss, why don't we go hunt that human ghost sword wielder, Frost Law King, and Hell Dragon Rider?"
In the dark abyss, just after devouring two professional powerhouses, the God of Wrath Jie'e asked with some confusion, "They are all top human powerhouses. Killing them, devouring them, can allow our power to recover faster."
Beneath the fully enclosed flowing-gold armor, a pair of hellish eyes like blazing fire emitted an evil aura, "Precisely because they are the topmost human powerhouses, if we kill them too early and cause panic, no human will be willing to continue raiding the Hell Gladiator Arena."
"I went through untold hardships just to lure all human powerhouses into the Hell Gladiator Arena. If they all run away, what will we have left to devour and level up?"
On the other side, under huge wings, with eighteen eyes arranged on its head, the hellfire-covered demonic dragon, God of Desire Wu'en, said, "Humans really are the simplest-minded, most muscle-headed creatures in this world. They think we hunt based on battlefield serial numbers, and that when we approach the battlefield they are on, they can avoid our hunt by quitting the Hell Gladiator Arena. Little do they know, this is precisely the opportunity we intentionally give them."
"Let them think they've found a chance at survival, when in reality, they've long since been prey in our hands!"
Swoosh!
Watching as the two skeletons before them were completely burned to ash by heavenly fire, the flowing-gold warrior said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for that necromancer challenging my bottom line and courting death, with him taking the blame for me, I could have slaughtered without restraint."
"For now, let's start with these low-nutrition prey and save the feast for last."
At this time, God of Desire Wu'en said, "Boss, our opponent this time is the Asura from a 1000 year ago."
"A 1000 year ago, my Demon Domain couldn't hold Asura. Today, I fear it still won't be able to imprison him. He should be able to escape the Demon Domain's confinement before long."
The flowing-gold warrior clenched his fist and said indifferently, "No matter. By the time he comes out, I will have already recovered to peak state. At that time, before me, he will be nothing more than an ant."
At this moment, God of Wrath Jie'e transformed into Zhang Yue's appearance, and said angrily, "My life soul is still in the hands of that necromancer. Before killing him, I must take back my life soul."
———
Elsewhere, in the Molten Realm—
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yue had been trapped for more than a day.
During this time, Zhang Yue had leapt across several high grounds, yet still remained within this maze, unable to find an exit.
It even once made Zhang Yue think: this was simply a dead end with no solution.
"Boss, could we be trapped here for the rest of our lives, never able to get out?", Even Cherry was feeling a little discouraged.
"Don't be so pessimistic," Zhang Yue said, "It's also possible we're not trapped here, but will die here."
Cherry drooped her head, "Boss, Cherry hasn't seen enough of the outside world yet, Cherry doesn't want to die."
"If by chance Boss dies, Cherry will definitely stay by Boss's side."
Zhang Yue sighed, "We're both pretty good at comforting people."
It had to be said, even Zhang Yue was feeling a little desperate.
Because he discovered that this place was not only about the monsters getting stronger with each leap to a new high ground.
Every six hours, all the high grounds would be scrambled and their order rearranged.
It was equivalent to the maze being relaid.
This meant that even if Zhang Yue had painstakingly leapt past many useless high grounds and was about to see the exit, the maze would suddenly reset and everything would have to start over again.
By reason, every secret realm or dungeon in another world should have a method to clear it.
A 1000 year ago, Zhang Yue had also been trapped by God of Desire Wu'en using the Demon Domain in many hidden maps.
Although in those places, he had been trapped for at least one or two hours, and at most for several days, at least those places had patterns to follow.
As long as he followed certain map traces, he could eventually find the solution and get out.
But this Molten Realm seemed to have no specific pattern.
The method of finding the exit by leaping between high grounds appeared to be the map's trace, but in Zhang Yue's view, it was more like a false trail.
It was a misdirection, making people think this was the strategy.
When Zhang Yue followed this trace, he would find that it was in fact a road to nowhere.
"Where exactly is the problem?", Zhang Yue began to ponder.
"If these high grounds aren't the chessboard, and finding the exit isn't about leaping between them, then what is the real map trace?"
Zhang Yue lay in the center of a high ground, gazing at the blazing fire-sky, and let out a soft sigh.
"The Arena Level-6 should be starting now."
"Looks like the Hell Gladiator Arena championship will have nothing to do with me…"
When the total number of contestants at the 6-star Arena Emperor rank in the Hell Gladiator Arena exceeded 2,000 people, the Arena Level-6 arrived as promised.
Compared to the Arena Level-5 with 30 battlefields, for the Arena Level-6, the number of battlefields was once again reduced to 10.
The fewer the battlefields, the fiercer the competition.
What let Elfa breathe a sigh of relief was: this time, he was finally not matched into the same battlefield as the Dragon Nation's Witch Ancestor Xuan Lan.
According to the rules of the Arena Level-6, all contestants took their positions.
In order to fight for rankings, they began frantically earning points!
The competition was intense and brutal.
In this process, aside from those who vanished after being targeted by ghosts, countless contestants were constantly eliminated.
Those who remained were all elite professionals with top-tier strength.
And in the Arena Level-6, with no Witch Ancestor Xuan Lan to restrain him, Elfa, like a tiger unleashed, relied on the strength of being the world's number one powerhouse to plunder points to the extreme, overtaking Arrow Emperor Hidden Dragon in one stroke, and together with Frost Law King Kwon Ji-Hyun, seizing the Hell Gladiator Arena championship.
8,000 points, rushing toward the 7-star Arena God. When 1,000 people met the standard, the Level 7 Gladiator Arena opened, with battlefields reduced to 6.
10,000 points, rushing toward the 8-star Gladiator Earth God, when 500 people met the standard, the Level 8 Gladiator Arena opened, with battlefields reduced to 3.
20,000 points, rushing toward the 9-star Arena Immortal.
[[World Announcement]: "Ding~ All contestant professionals please note: When the total number of those at the 9-star Arena Immortal rank exceeds 100 people, the Hell Gladiator Arena's Ultimate Gladiator Arena will open.
