Chapter 546 - The Fifth Heavenrender Life Form

Under the gaze of both factions, the third death match entered its final preparations. The Blood Coliseum brought out a massive arena that spanned hundreds of millions of square kilometers. It was filled with numerous terrains and climates, all designed specifically for combat between Heavenrender life forms.

The Asura Coliseum took a different approach and deployed four massive rings as their battlefields. Once completed, the Heavenrender life forms from both factions stepped forward.

The Asura Coliseum sent four combatants, each landing in their respective rings. They stood within their natural habitat, and their power surged beyond its usual limits.

The Blood Heavenrender life forms soon followed. The Death Paladin of the God King of Death, the Dark Dragon Knight of the God King of Darkness, the Heavenrender Sanguine Combatant of the Blood Coliseum, and the Origin of Mutation entered the battlefield as the countdown timer slowly ticked down.

At that moment, Han Wu raised his arm to stop the timer. Everyone turned to him, uncertain of his intent. Even Faido and Aisha, the two strongest figures present, looked on in confusion.

Han Wu cracked his joints and stepped onto the battlefield himself. At the same time, his avatars appeared from numerous angles and entered the field alongside him, including the Duel Avatar.

To everyone’s surprise, the avatars merged with Han Wu, increasing his strength to the late Earthsunder rank. Even then, this wasn’t his full strength. Some of his avatars were too far away and couldn’t return in time, but this level of power would suffice for now.

Faido watched Han Wu’s strength climb from the initial to the late Earthsunder rank and felt a jolt of shock.

Faido spoke up at once. “Brat, you are only an Earthsunder life form. You can’t join the Heavenrender death match.”

Faido wasn’t worried about his safety but that Han Wu would pull off some devious trick during the death match.

Han Wu smiled and activated Replicate. Numerous limbs of Desolate Beasts burst out from his body as he transformed into the second Origin of Mutation and advanced into a Heavenrender life form.

The unexpected development stunned Faido.

“Lord Faido, I believe I now qualify to join the death match,” Han Wu said.

Faido wanted to stop him, but he had no grounds to do so. Han Wu met every requirement.

The Blood Coliseum’s executives broke into excitement. Han Wu’s willingness to fight in the death match proved his resolve to stake his life for the Blood Coliseum. How could those elder executives who had dedicated their entire lives to the Blood Coliseum feel anything but pride?

“Do it! Good luck, sir!”

“We will live and die with you!”

...

The management’s cheers rang out loudly. At that moment, they were all impressed by Han Wu’s charisma and formally acknowledged him as the Blood Coliseum’s new owner.

As the atmosphere on the Blood Coliseum’s side grew more animated, Faido feared that Han Wu’s morale would rise even higher. Thus, he chose to start the match.

The timer continued to tick down until the final death match between the two coliseums officially started. Both sides remained motionless in their respective territories. The previous two matches had already proven how decisive the environment could be, so both sides waited for their opponents to approach.

Only two of them didn’t wait: Han Wu and the Origin of Mutation. They preferred direct confrontation. Hence, they entered the same ring together, which was saturated with unbearable heat.

Even though they were Heavenrender life forms, they still felt the water in their bodies evaporating, their stamina steadily draining.

Meanwhile, their opponent, Dancing Flames, suffered no such strain. He basked in the heat with open delight. He was a phoenix, a race that inhabited high-temperature regions, and the intense heat augmented his strength noticeably. Even when facing the two of them at once, Dancing Flames showed no fear.

Han Wu and the Origin of Mutation endured the scorching air and readied themselves. Dancing Flames attacked first. Drawing on the ring’s advantage, he quickly condensed a massive fireball and launched it.

Neither opponent tried to avoid the fireball. Han Wu even smiled as he leapt straight into the massive fireball.

Confusion rippled through the spectators. Most Heavenrender life forms couldn’t withstand an attack infused with such incredible heat, so why did Han Wu do that? Did he have something up his sleeve?

In reality, he did. As he leapt toward the massive fireball, he activated Conversion. In an instant, the massive fireball transformed into a massive ice palm, which he swung toward Dancing Flames.

Dancing Flames deftly avoided it with astonishing agility, but Han Wu pressed the attack, continuing to swing the ice palm around as he pursued.

Han Wu had a clear purpose. The Origin of Mutation felt waves of cool air spreading through the ring as it remained near Han Wu. The latter was deliberately lowering the temperature within the ring!

Dancing Flames was a phoenix, so the hotter the environment, the faster and stronger he became. Conversely, when the temperature dropped too low, his wingbeats slowed noticeably.

By the time Dancing Flames realized what was happening, it was too late; the temperature had dropped to a pleasant eighteen degrees Celsius.

Dancing Flames spat torrents of fire in an attempt to raise the temperature, but Han Wu pursued him relentlessly and converted every flame into ice. In the end, Han Wu turned the burning ring into a frozen battlefield.

The cold stiffened Dancing Flames’ body and dulled his thoughts as he slowly entered hibernation mode.

The Origin of Mutation acted fast and severed Dancing Flames’ head.

That was how one of Faido’s four Heavenrender life forms fell. The exchange ended so swiftly that the remaining three Asura Heavenrender life forms failed to save him. Now, the Blood Coliseum had five Heavenrender life forms remaining, while the Asura Coliseum had only three. The Blood Coliseum had taken the lead!
