132: Chapter 132 Excuse me

On the other side, Karen Walker, who had just finished a fierce battle and suppressed a part of the battlefield, took in the scene of Ye Guanqi suppressing the three armies with a flick of his finger.

He shed his Nether Beast form and returned to his human shape. His silver-gray hair hung down gently in the wind, and his pale purple vertical pupils were now completely sunken, his eyes churning with intense gloom and unwillingness.

Just a moment ago, he had activated his full Nether form and launched several fierce attacks to completely suppress three Second-Phase Marshals.

But Ye Guanqi? With a casual flick of a chess piece, he suppressed the three armies with three pieces, without any effort, calm and composed—the difference in skill was immediately clear!

Both were top-tier prodigies, both peerless monsters cultivated with the full might of their families, yet this heaven-and-earth gap caused the arrogant Karen to feel extreme frustration and unyielding defiance.

Karen looked at Ye Guanqi and snorted coldly, a flash of intense competitive spirit and conceit crossing his eyes.

"Playing god." He then added: "A true powerhouse. Would not stay on the Third Floor."

The battle on the Third Floor was already uninteresting. All the glory and shock of this place had been monopolized by Ye Guanqi alone.

No longer staying, the black mist around Karen surged suddenly, turning into a streak of pitch-black light that shot up into the sky, heading straight for the deepest, most mysterious forbidden area of the Chaotic Battlefield—the Fourth Level Ultimate Throne!

"Lord Karen is rushing the Fourth Level!"

"My god! He's actually going to challenge the ultimate Fourth Level all by himself!"

"As expected of a top-tier monster who has awakened twice! This spirit and strength are unmatched!"

The entire crowd was instantly captivated by this scene. All eyes followed that pitch-black figure, filled with anticipation, waiting to see Karen erupt once more, reach the peak of a stronger stage, and create another heaven-defying record.

Everyone was convinced that with Karen's terrifying strength, even if the Fourth Level was dangerous, he would surely be able to stir up the situation and shine brilliantly!

However! Beneath the extreme anticipation, what followed was an extreme contrast!

Just as Karen's figure rushed into the airspace of the Fourth Level—Boom—!! A supreme roar that pierced through heaven and earth suddenly exploded from the depths of the Fourth Level forbidden area!

Ten thousand feet of brilliant golden imperial light shot up into the sky, rending through layers of airspace, shocking the entire Chaotic Battlefield!

A supreme pressure, surpassing all monsters, all marshals, and all prodigies, crashed down!

No one saw what happened inside the Fourth Level. There was no roar of colliding skills, no phenomena of domain confrontation, not even the slightest stalemate!

In just an instant! Puchi—!! A pitch-black figure, like a kite with a broken string, was violently knocked backward from the entrance of the Fourth Level!

The black mist completely shattered, the dark scales exploded layer by layer, and the power around his body gradually dissipated! It was none other than Karen Walker, who had just been high-spirited and charging straight into the Fourth Level!

At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, he was vomiting blood, his aura was withered to the extreme, his entire body's bones seemed to be shattered, and he slammed heavily onto the Third Floor throne platform, kicking up dust all over the ground!

The whole place was dead silent! The anticipation of the masses instantly turned into a huge joke!

That top-tier monster who had awakened twice, steadily suppressed the Third Floor, and looked down on all heroes, had broken into the Fourth Level, but couldn't even last a second before being crushed and severely injured by an unknown entity in one move, vomiting blood and being blasted away!

Boundless silence shrouded the entire venue. Everyone felt cold all over, and extreme fear and shock rose in their hearts.

And just as everyone was still shaken and trembling, a grand, cold, and emotionless global system announcement rang out across the entire Chaotic Battlefield!

[Contestant detected entering the Fourth Level Ultimate Throne forbidden area!]

[Type: The Ultimate Throne BOSS holds the power of life and death over the entire Golden Throne and possesses four ultimate skills:

1. Imperial Path Annihilation Slash — Condenses the origin imperial power of the Throne to slash out a giant Annihilation Light Blade, piercing through all enemies on the Throne and dealing massive mixed damage, with the damage shared by everyone hit. Targets hit are branded with the [Emperor Annihilation Mark], which lasts for 30 seconds, with each layer of the mark reducing the target's total attributes by 15%.

All skill cooldowns are immediately reset, and the Emperor enters the Imperial Berserk form.]

The cold system data appeared in everyone's eyes one by one. Every value, every rule, every skill, all exuded a despair-inducing, overwhelming power!

Everyone in the arena was completely stunned, feeling cold all over, and finally realized the truth. The Dragon-Pattern Marshal on the Third Floor, the so-called desperate situation of the battlefield, was nothing but an appetizer, mere ants before the Ultimate Throne!

The Fourth Level sealed all Talents, skills, equipment, and items, almost depriving everyone of more than 90% of their combat power! This meant that only secret arts could take effect and play a role, making it a battlefield completely prepared for top-tier prodigies who possessed family secret arts.

Even a top-tier prodigy like Karen had suffered a setback under these unexpected rules.

With five million HP, starting attack and defense stats of 100,000, and an innate resurrection and berserk ability, the Imperial Guard Emperor was the truly unsolvable, ultimate ceiling of this Chaotic Battlefield!

Above the void of the Third Floor, Ye Guanqi's eyes lifted slightly, looking toward the golden imperial light shooting up to the Fourth Level. For the first time, his gaze lost its indifference, flashing with a hint of gravity. The chess game, the real turning point, began from here.

And in the hearts of the people on the Third Floor, only endless horror and despair remained. So, all their struggling and fighting until now had never touched the true peak of this battlefield.

The Fourth Level, the Golden Throne. A straight, aloof, heaven-reaching golden staircase leading directly to the imperial seat hung in the void.

The staircase was narrow and exclusive, allowing only one person to pass, not allowing anyone to walk side-by-side. The entire space was brilliantly golden, with countless golden chains crisscrossing.

In the center of the throne, a tall imperial figure sat quietly. It was as if he had been sleeping for eternity, and it seemed the previous battle hadn't even made him open his eyes.

On the platform of the Third Floor. Karen Walker wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up, his face icy, his eyes churning with extreme viciousness and unwillingness.

"Emperor..." He gritted his teeth and whispered, his purple pupils flaring with murderous intent. He hadn't been prepared just now and had been blindsided by those four ultimate rules.

The next moment! Karen no longer held back any of his hidden cards. His storage space was fully opened, and all his treasured consumables and extreme enhancement potions were poured into his body!

He instantly cast his Nether secret arts, pre-deployed his dark domain, stacked his beast form, and completely reset all his skill CDs! Auras, secret arts, enhancements, and BUFFs were all stacked to the limit! In just a short moment, his combat power was forcibly pushed to the peak state of his life!

Black mist surged to the heavens, and his demonic might rose again! Everyone in the arena instantly held their breath.

"Karen is going to fight the Fourth Level again!"

"He's used all his trump cards!"

"This time he knows the rules! It will absolutely be different!"

"If he gives it his all, he might just be able to shake the Emperor!"

Under the gaze of the masses, darkness boiled around Karen, and he prepared to charge straight toward the Fourth Level Golden Throne for a second time, staking his life to reach the peak!

Just as his figure was about to rush forward and the black mist soared into the sky—a steady palm silently and gently pressed onto his shoulder.

The surging Nether power all over Karen's body, the stacked secret art enhancements, and the momentum of his impending charge were all instantly frozen and completely locked!

His pupils contracted sharply; his monstrous power couldn't even budge the force of this palm by the slightest bit!

The entire arena fell into instant silence. Unbeknownst to anyone, Lin Yan had already stepped forward and was standing in front of the crowd.

"Excuse me."
