Chapter 357: Chapter 69: A Duel? Sorry! Now You’re Facing... Guaranteed Victory in Duels!!

For the former, as soon as Qin Feng set foot in the Void Realm, the Divine Chosen Villagers accompanying his army swiftly erected the basic frameworks for a Gate of War and a Teleportation Magic Tower, laying a solid foundation for their Teleportation abilities.

For the latter, Qin Feng had used Ashes’s Owl Spirit Body to relay urgent commands. He had also prepared several reserve teams before even entering the Void Realm, ready to answer a "Teleportation summons" at a moment’s notice, ensuring ranged troops could provide support immediately.

In fact, Qin Feng had even factored in the extreme possibility of encountering an Extraordinary Three Stars creature.

To that end, he had gone so far as to place the Wood Elf Army from the Middle-earth Warhammer Plane on standby.

If there was any unexpected shift in the battle—especially if all the other Lord Players were killed—this Legendary Elite Team, perfectly compatible with Plague Power, could instantly cross the planar barrier and arrive in the Void Realm to provide support.

’Come on!’

’Void Apostle!’

’I’ve already set the hook!’

’When are you going to take the bait?’

Unfortunately, the Void Apostle "one’s" actions were impossible to predict. Its Void Creatures had already been utterly routed by the Holy Empire’s army and were powerless to fight back. Yet, it remained on a distant hillside, standing as still as a statue, its heavy gaze fixed on the horizon, its thoughts a mystery.

Seeing this, Qin Feng didn’t waste any time. ’If you won’t come to me, then I’ll go to you.’

’Last time I killed the Evil Dragon Jinli, the King of War gave me the Divine Gift of Resurrection. If I kill a Void Envoy this time, the King of War will surely give me a New Power of Authority that’s just as good.’

With this in mind, Qin Feng no longer hesitated. He took the lead and raised his hand, unleashing his invincible Multi-shot Arrow to tear through the obstacles ahead. He led the mighty Holy Empire army in a steady advance toward the hill where the Void Apostle "one" was located.

As the Holy Empire’s army closed in, the Void Apostle "one" suddenly tilted its head slightly, a strange, unsettling smile creeping onto its face as it looked in Qin Feng’s direction.

Qin Feng’s keen senses instantly caught this abnormal gesture. His heart tightened; he knew this was no ordinary sight.

’Hm?’

’An Ambush?’

A powerful Sixth Sense screamed warnings in his mind. Without a shred of hesitation, Qin Feng chose to trust his intuition and decisively ordered the rapidly advancing Holy Empire army to a sudden halt.

But even so, the eerie smile on the Void Apostle "one’s" face didn’t fade in the slightest. Instead, it grew even brighter.

The next second, it slowly raised its hand and gave a gentle wave.

In an instant, the entire Void Realm shattered like a mirror into countless pieces. The once-continuous battlefield was torn to shreds, and the Holy Empire’s army along with it, all of them "isolated" in innumerable, disconnected, small spaces.

Within the shattered Void Realm, no trace of the previous battlefield’s outline remained.

The once thick, ink-black mist was sliced into fine wisps that drifted along the edges of the countless independent spaces, yet they could never cross the invisible barriers.

The barriers shimmered with a faint, ghostly purple glow, similar to the Scale Armor of Void Creatures. Touching them sent a bone-chilling cold through one’s body, enough to frost over even the armor of the Divine Chosen Soldiers.

Each small space was no more than a few dozen yards across. The ground was no longer the charred rock common to the Void Realm but had become an irregular plane like shattered glass. Beneath their feet, they could faintly see an Endless Darkness, as if they were standing on the edge of a crumbling cliff.

There was no wind in these spaces, but a faint CRACKLING sound could be heard, as if the barriers were constantly shrinking. Even light itself became distorted. The gleam of the War Blades in the hands of the Holy Empire’s soldiers was stretched into long, thin ribbons, and even their comrades’ faces appeared blurry and warped.

What was even more suffocating was that all connection between the spaces had been completely severed.

Comrades who had been right beside them could now only be seen in the adjacent space, frantically swinging their swords and screaming, but not a single sound could be heard. Even the faint healing glow of the Evil Aura was blocked by the barriers.

Only the figure of the Void Apostle "one" remained, suspended in the very center of all the shattered spaces. In the distorted light, its smile looked increasingly bizarre, as if it were admiring a meticulously designed trap.

"The Void Arena!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"This is an automatic defense mechanism that can completely separate all enemies invading the Void Realm into independent spaces!"

"When the time comes, it will be king against king, general against general, and soldier against soldier... We will each fight to the death, one-on-one, in our own private cages!"

"Heh heh!"

"Divine Chosen Lord!"

"Listen up!"

"I admit it, none of my Void Creatures can beat your Divine Chosen Soldiers!"

"But so what?"

"As long as I personally finish you off here in the Void Arena!"

"Without you as their backbone, that bizarre Divine Chosen Army of yours will naturally collapse without a fight!"

The Void Apostle "one’s" words still echoed through the shattered Void.

The next second, a cold system notification box abruptly appeared before Qin Feng’s eyes, finalizing the rules of the Void Arena.

[Due to the environmental effects of the Void Realm, you and your Divine Chosen Team, loyalist troops, and allied forces have entered the Void Arena!]

[Void Arena Rules: Void Creatures and Void invaders will be matched sequentially from highest to lowest combat power, based solely on individual duel strength. They will enter exclusive Void duel spaces. Only the victor of the duel may leave the space alive. The loser will be completely annihilated in the Void!]

[Note (Additional Reconnaissance information from the Level 100 Recruit Prisoners ability): Individuals with a resurrection ability who die in the Void Arena can still undergo the resurrection ritual. They will not have their Resurrection Sealed!]

’This is...?’

’A duel...?’

’Mechanic...?’

Before Qin Feng could think it over, the independent, fragmented space he was in suddenly erupted in a blinding, ghostly purple light.

Soon, a colossal dark figure teleported in, accompanied by a thick aura of the Void. It was a Void Boss.

However, while this Void Boss’s aura was ferocious, it was by no means a top-tier existence like the Void Apostle "one." It was clearly the opponent the Lord System had specifically matched for him according to the rules of the Void Arena.

Meanwhile, the Void Envoy "one," the strongest combatant in the Evil God Faction, was teleported into the spatial fragment occupied by Yugudora, who wielded the Holy Sword.

Qin Feng: "..."

Void Envoy: "???"

’Wait!?’

’What is going on!?’

’Why wasn’t I teleported to the Void Arena with the Divine Chosen Lord who can turn one arrow into millions!?’

’Isn’t he the strongest among this group of enemies!?’

Staring at the petite young girl before it, who held a massive Holy Sword far exceeding her own size with a steady grip, the look of shock and uncertainty on the Void Apostle "one’s" face grew more intense. Even the dark purple Void Energy swirling around its body began to stir restlessly.

It began to repeatedly check the source of that unknown energy fluctuation in its mind.

’No...’

’The one who truly stands at the pinnacle of combat power in the enemy’s ranks...’

’...is actually a little girl who looks so frail a gust of wind could knock her over!?’

’And what’s more!’

’The energy fluctuations she’s emitting!’

’They’re so much weaker than the Divine Chosen Lord who can blast millions of Void Creatures with a single arrow!’

’Why did the Void Realm match me with her?’

’This makes no sense!’

While the Void Apostle "one" was still struggling to comprehend the situation, Yugudora, who was also unsure of what was happening, launched the first attack.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she tightly gripped her exclusive weapon, the Holy Sword, which radiated a dazzling white Holy Light. Leaping into the air, she brought it down fiercely upon the Void Apostle "one."

"Dammit!"

"You think an attack this feeble is worthy of fighting me?"

The Void Apostle "one" couldn’t help but roar in frustrated disbelief as it hastily parried the blow.

However, what it didn’t know was that the young girl before it possessed a Divine Gift Talent called "Guaranteed Victory in Duels."
