Chapter 1128 - 879: The Main Character Takes the Stage_2

Now, in almost every match where Hei Jing participates, over half of the spectators shout Long Yi’s name, anticipating his sudden entrance. These people may not all be devout followers of Long Yi, but they all want to witness this century’s great battle.

Today is the final match of the Sky Ladder tournament, and Hei Jing will challenge the player ranked number one. If he succeeds, he will earn the right to challenge the king of the Stellar Realm Arena.

As the challenger, Hei Jing was the first to enter, and the cheers thundered through the venue, with people shouting his name and hoping he could recreate the miracles of the past. However, the player ranked number one was nowhere to be seen.

At first, people loudly chanted his name, but as time passed, boos gradually began to rise. To everyone, this seemed like an act of desertion before battle.

Just then, the champion’s gate slowly opened, and a tall man in a black robe with a hood slowly walked out!

"Our champion has arrived!" the commentator shouted loudly.

"No, your champion has not arrived." A familiar voice echoed, and the crowd was stunned for a moment, trying to figure out whose voice it was.

"Because I have arrived!" The hood and robe were thrown aside, and the man standing there was none other than Long Yi!

Suddenly, the entire place exploded. People were shouting Long Yi’s name; everyone went wild.

"Hahaha! You guys didn’t come with me to watch the match, you really missed out this time! Long Yi versus Hei Jing what a battle!" some people shouted with joy.

"The price of today’s ticket is so worth it!" some cheered.

Long Yi moved toward the center of the field with steady and heavy steps, and a string of fireworks went off throughout the arena! This was the treatment of a top superstar!

Long Yi approached Hei Jing, who was of similar height but slightly slimmer. His skin was dark, but his eyes were made of transparent crystals that radiated light!

"If you think you can deal with me just by donning a layer of skin, then I suggest you prepare yourself to be turned into a punching bag today!"

But Hei Jing spoke too, his mouth parting to reveal similarly transparent teeth as he smiled and said, "Master Elma sends his most sincere regards!"

Hum!

A strange humming emitted from within Hei Jing’s body, and his figure began to swell, rapidly growing to over ten meters tall!

"Trying to outsize me?" Long Yi laughed, turning around to draw his Cosmic Stone Greatsword. "Can you even stand steady being that big?"

Long Yi burst forth, his Cosmic Stone warhammer striking directly at Hei Jing’s calf. With a bang, Hei Jing’s calf was smashed to the ground, and Hei Jing itself staggered, but its leg did not shatter into pieces as Long Yi had anticipated!

"A reinforcement layer? I have to hand it to you to come up with that!" Long Yi laughed.

Even with just one strike, Long Yi had discovered that his opponent was undoubtedly a Crazy Demon. However, this Crazy Demon had an additional layer of dense material on its body that could absorb pure physical impacts. Most importantly, it protected the Crazy Demon’s body. Even if smashed to dust, the Crazy Demon’s crystal wouldn’t fly away, which greatly accelerated its regeneration speed.

One had to say, the solution was quite ingenious, simple, and brutal.

The gigantic Crazy Demon let out a mocking laugh, opening its massive maw and spraying out a pure energy blast. Long Yi twisted aside to dodge, while his warhammer once again slammed heavily upon the Crazy Demon’s knee. This time, only a cracking sound was heard as the Crazy Demon’s knee shattered, and it fell heavily to the ground.

"Although it can absorb a certain degree of impact, you forgot to consider your own weight, which is a law of physics that absolutely applies in every universe," said Long Yi with a smile.

Crystals, though hard, are very prone to shattering. The bigger the Crystal Demon, the greater the need for joint strength. It was for this reason that most naturally born giant Crazy Demons have short, thick legs, or more legs to support their body. The Crazy Demon in front of him, transformed from a person, was completely ignorant of this principle. So when its body was at its lowest point, just as it was ready to burst upwards, all Long Yi had to do was to strike its knees with his warhammer, and even without much force, Hei Jing’s own weight would crush it.

Hei Jing roared, extending an arm to support itself, but as its hand made contact with the ground, Long Yi’s blow had already landed. With a thunderous boom, the Crazy Demon’s arm was smashed apart. Long Yi, seizing the momentum, charged forward. It was precisely the moment when the Crazy Demon lost balance and was forced to rotate, that Long Yi moved swiftly to its back and smashed heavily at its waist. A louder crisp sound ensued, and the gigantic Crazy Demon lay prostrate on the ground.

"The biggest downside of being large is that the recovery time also becomes longer," said Long Yi with a smile as he walked along the back of the gigantic Crazy Demon, reaching its neck in a few steps.

"But even so, what can you do to me? You can’t defeat me! I can resurrect indefinitely, resurrect endlessly!" Hei Jing taunted.

"I’ve never seen any Crazy Demon so confident about infinite resurrection, as if your energy were inexhaustible," commented Long Yi as he lifted his hand, breaking Hei Jing’s neck outright. With its ability to rotate its head gone, Hei Jing could not see what Long Yi was doing, but it could feel the tremendous fluctuations of Fighting Aura and Mana emanating from Long Yi’s body.

"Let me see what this thing on you is," declared Long Yi as the warhammer transformed into a greatsword, and a slash opened a fissure on Hei Jing’s black outer shell. But it didn’t cut through completely!

"Huh? Quite sturdy," remarked Long Yi, eyeing the black material that almost instantly healed itself.

"You will never understand what this is! If you knew the terror of this power, you would be trembling and kneeling before me right now!" shouted Hei Jing.

"Lucky for me, I don’t know the terror of this power, otherwise you might scare me to death! So please, don’t ever tell me," responded Long Yi, smiling as he continued to swing the greatsword, attempting to slice open the layer of black material. But the black material was incredibly tough, and it seemed to grow even tougher with every attack he made!

What in the world was this?

Long Yi sheathed his greatsword and placed his hand on the black material. To his surprise, a surge of Dragon Power emerged!

"Dragon Scale Armor!" Long Yi stood up with a gasp of astonishment.
