C181 War!

Chu Yi spoke with a casual ease, but to the guardian listening—and indeed, to all the citizens watching the live broadcast—it was as if thunder had struck!

The same Chu Yi who had been so formidable that he could battle the guardian was not even at his strongest? Could that be possible?

They were desperate to declare it impossible because Chu Yi had already astonished everyone.

But now...

It wasn't that they doubted Chu Yi's words or thought he was prone to exaggeration.

Rather, his claim was just too incredible!

"You..."

The guardian murmured, unable to articulate his thoughts fully.

Though it was a fleeting glimpse, Chu Yi's aura had made an impression on him—a terrifying presence that posed a threat!

While an aura didn't tell the whole story, considering the intelligence he had on Chu Yi's capabilities...

The guardian inhaled deeply, his eyes swirling with emotion.

If what Chu Yi suggested was true, then the extent of his power...

Chu Yi's smile grew even more radiant.

"Rest assured, if I truly find myself outmatched, I will choose to withdraw..."

Chu Yi glanced at Lee Zi beside him and, after a brief pause, said, "Lee Zi, you should rest here for now."

Had the guardians not intervened, Chu Yi would have gladly taken Lee Zi into battle with him.

He at least wanted Lee Zi to experience what it was like to fight against the Diamond.

But now, with the opposition unwilling to even let him through, bringing Lee Zi along was out of the question.

This time, Lee Zi did not protest. She was aware of her limitations.

Even if she were to reveal all her cards, she might still fall short against the formidable foe and could potentially hinder Chu Yi.

Clearly, Lee Zi did not wish for that, and she understood that Chu Yi had pressing, significant matters to attend to.

Thus, she agreed without argument.

The guardians witnessing this exchange realized the inevitability of the situation.

After a quick message was sent, two more figures materialized beside Chu Yi.

These were the three guardians assigned to this location.

"You're all aware of the situation now..."

The other two wore grim expressions, their gazes towards Chu Yi filled with unease.

It seemed to them that Chu Yi was only making their task more challenging.

However, everything was within the rules.

Diamonds were present, signifying that the examinees could take on the challenge. Moreover, the points for the diamonds had been established, further clarifying the situation.

Thus, they found no grounds to hinder Chu Yi.

"Be cautious. If trouble arises, we might not be able to assist you promptly."

"Avoid greed; prioritize your safety!"

"You've earned the right to challenge the diamonds. Your potential for future success is boundless!"

"Safety first, always!"

Chu Yi was somewhat at a loss for words listening to the guardians' incessant advice.

Yet, he recognized their good intentions.

So, Chu Yi listened intently with a grave look.

"Breaking news, breaking news!"

"Chu Yi, the legend, has finally made a move on the Diamond!"

"Chu Yi takes on the supreme demon!"

In no time, a surge of viewers swarmed into nearly every live broadcast room on the platform, spreading the word.

And it wasn't just there; numerous similar posts cropped up on comprehensive websites across the Adirang Region.

At that moment, Chu Yi's live broadcast room was inundated with an influx of viewers.

The Redmarsh Region had a standing population of about five hundred million, and excluding the elderly and children, over three hundred million were keen viewers.

Naturally, not everyone was glued to live broadcasts daily.

Typically, the official site had around one hundred million concurrent viewers.

But with the news of Chu Yi confronting a top-tier Diamond Level demon, the numbers skyrocketed.

One hundred million, two hundred million, three hundred million!

In less than a minute, the official platform was swamped with over eight hundred million people, and the count was still climbing!

The technical supervisor of the official live broadcast platform was astounded.

But he also understood that this was to be expected.

After all, this was the first time a youth had dared to challenge a Diamond Level demon!

Just the thought of it was enough to stun the masses.

Hence, officials scrambled to deploy additional servers to prevent any mishaps.

To ensure a clearer broadcast and avoid previous signal issues, several special broadcasting devices were urgently dispatched to the area.

Unbeknownst to Chu Yi, his single decision had set the entire Adirang Region astir.

Inside a private room at the First Martial Arts Stadium, all eyes were fixed on the figure before them. This was the War God, their one and only War God. And, of course, he was Chu Yi's grandfather. Many had long been jealous of Chu Yi, for having a War God Level grandfather meant that as long as Chu Yi didn't actively seek his own demise, he wouldn't have to worry for the rest of his days. But now, it was Chu Tianfeng who was the object of everyone's envy. Even if Chu Yi might not be able to take down a top-notch Demon Lord, his courage was unmatched by his peers.

The individuals privileged enough to access this live broadcast were the elite heads of their families, all of Diamond status. They could go days without sleep without any trouble. Since yesterday, they had been closely monitoring their own progeny, but Chu Yi had garnered the most attention. Now, they were about to witness Chu Yi's true capabilities.

"Alright, we've said enough. As long as you're aware of the situation, that's what matters," the three Guardians concluded after a lengthy discussion. Chu Yi, on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief. If they had continued, he felt he might have crumbled under the pressure. "Understood. You can count on me," he responded. Without further ado or even a word to Lee Zi, Chu Yi charged toward the mountain.

"What do you think Chu Yi's plan is?" one spectator wondered. "Might he stealthily infiltrate and employ some tactics to weaken the top-class demon before striking?" These were conventional strategies.

"I reckon he'll take advantage of his agility due to his smaller stature for a surprise attack. The top-class demon will likely be on guard, especially since this is its lair," another chimed in. "Yes, that's what I believe as well—" But the third Guardian's words were cut off by a thunderous roar.

In an instant, their eyes grew wide with shock.

With a single punch, Chu Yi sent tremors through the earth itself! A cascade of boulders tumbled from the towering mountain, crashing down upon the land below. Chu Yi hadn't opted for a stealthy approach. He didn't even venture into his adversary's lair. Instead, he stood in the open, boldly challenging the top-class demon head-on.

The three great guardians were left utterly dumbfounded by the scene before them.

"This, this, this..."

"This Chu Yi..."

"Didn't he claim to have everything under control?"

Is this what having everything under control looks like?!

He had forsaken all the advantageous conditions and opted for the most foolish approach.

If Chu Yi weren't about to enter combat, they would have given him a piece of their mind!

Was Chu Yi out of his mind?

Certainly not...

His actions were born out of necessity.

Chu Yi had no idea what the treasure imbued with Origin Power was. What if it was fragile?

While Chu Yi seemed to have the upper hand in his battle with the top Demonic Beast on the mountain, what would happen next?

If the treasure were to be destroyed, Chu Yi would be inconsolable...

Thus, drawing the top Demonic Beast to this location was a move of desperation for Chu Yi...

The mountain summit quaked, and in the next instant, a colossal figure plummeted from the heavens.

It was a top Demonic Beast, a true Diamond Level creature!

A fearsome Demonic Beast resembling a tiger, its length exceeded seven hundred meters!

Five hundred meters was the standard for a Diamond Level Demonic Beast.

But at seven hundred meters, it was considered quite formidable among its peers.

It's no surprise that the three Intermediate Level guardians admitted they couldn't ensure Chu Yi's safety!

Forget about protecting him; even combined, they might not stand a chance against this top Demonic Beast!

"Roar!"

The earth-shattering roar resonated, causing the whole world to shake.

As a top Demonic Beast, it had the ability to refine its voice box and begin speaking.

Naturally, this feat required reaching the pinnacle of the High Order, meaning only Demonic Beasts over nine hundred meters in length could articulate human speech.

And once these top Demonic Beasts reached the thousand-meter threshold, they could even be referred to as 'they'!

At that point, these top Demonic Beasts could transform their shape and reduce their massive size.

The top Demonic Beasts that Chu Yi and Lee Zi encountered in the dense forest were indeed the most elite of their kind.

In the dense forest, they might appear to be only ten to twenty meters tall, but in their true form, they would undoubtedly be Demonic Beasts towering over a kilometer in height.

It was clear that the top-tier Demonic Beast facing Chu Yi measured a mere seven hundred meters, not yet capable of human speech.

Consequently, no matter how enraged the beast was, it could only express its fury through thunderous roars.

Yet, as a monstrous entity stretching over seven hundred meters, its presence on the open ground exuded an aura that could send shivers down one's spine.

Consider that modern human structures typically reach heights of around a kilometer.

Should this top-tier Demonic Beast venture into a human city, merely extending its limbs would make it as imposing as a skyscraper a kilometer high!

Setting aside its immense strength, its mere existence in the world was enough to send a profound shock through the very core of one's being.

"Holy cow, it's truly terrifying!"

"I was already in awe at the sight of that three hundred-meter-tall monster."

"But now, in comparison, those three hundred-meter giants seem insignificant!"
