72: Do you dare to bet on eating keyboard during live broadcast?

War Emperor's Mausoleum, the core area of the central server, filled with the aura of ancient civilization.

Facing the war emperor's remains, which had been thoroughly contaminated by high-dimensional meme energy and whose strength was infinitely close to that of a true SSS-Class Demigod, a terrifying palm strike, powerful enough to sink an entire continental plate, came crashing down!

Lin Tian chose to... take it head-on!

Under the astonished and disbelieving gazes of all surviving Prodigies present, as well as Long Zhanye, The Empress Jade Maiden, and all other relatives and friends who were still anxiously watching through special internal channels of the Long family!

He activated the Pangu Body, Heart of God, Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, and all other known defensive trump cards for the Physical Body, pushing them to their absolute limit without reservation at this moment!

Boom—!!!

It was like two supernova-exploding stars colliding head-on!

An extremely terrifying energy storm instantly swept through the entire core area! It even caused the surrounding indestructible server cabinets, made of unknown divine metal, to emit a "buzzing" wail of unbearable strain!

The entire War Emperor's Mausoleum trembled violently under this single blow!

Smoke and dust filled the air.

After a long while, when the energy storm, powerful enough to obliterate everything, slowly dissipated—

In the center of the pit, the white figure still... stood tall!

He was violently knocked back several hundred meters by that irresistible, terrifying force, and the ground beneath his feet was ploughed into two bottomless, terrifying ravines. The Qi and blood within his body surged violently under this impact, and a trace of sweetness welled up in his throat.

But, that was all.

He was completely unharmed!

Not even a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth!

This scene left all the surviving Prodigies present, who had long been scared out of their wits, including Adam, the "Holy Mountain" ace who had always regarded Lin Tian as his ultimate opponent, completely stunned.

Their worldview, their understanding of the Martial Dao, was completely... subverted at this moment!

That was... a blow infinitely close to a Demigod!

He... actually withstood it with his pure Physical Body?!

Is this... is this even human?!

And as another witness to this storm, Bai Feng, the chief of the War God Academy, who had been hiding in the distance, ready to seize an opportunity and fish in troubled waters, saw this scene, his heart, full of wisdom and calculation, completely... turned cold at this moment.

All his plans, all his schemes, all his confidence, seemed so... ridiculous, so... pale and powerless in the face of Lin Tian's utterly unreasonable, almost "absolute defense" abnormal Physical Body.

He finally understood that the gap between himself and this monster was simply not something that could be bridged by wisdom or trump cards.

It was a... absolute, insurmountable... crushing defeat on a biological level!

Escape!

He must escape!

While that monster was completely entangled with the equally unkillable war emperor's remains, he would take the lead, seize the final Legacy in the central server, and then immediately flee far away!

This was his only, and last, chance!

However, just as he was about to put his plan into action—

A calm voice, yet one that seemed to have already seen through all his thoughts, clearly echoed throughout the battlefield like a devil's whisper.

"Long Qingtian."

"Simba."

Lin Tian, who was fiercely battling the contaminated Martial God's remains, even had the leisure to calmly issue tactical commands in an unchallengeable, commander-like tone.

"You two, go, stop him."

"Before I deal with this big guy."

"—Don't let him get one step closer to that server."

"Yes!"

Long Qingtian, the number one heir, who was already completely convinced by Lin Tian, did not hesitate at all. Holding the S-grade halberd that flashed with Heavenly Tribulation divine lightning, he transformed into a purple-green stream of light and instantly blocked Bai Feng's path!

"Roar!"

And Simba, the hundred-meter-tall Nine-Headed Golden Lion King, who had just been completely tamed by Lin Tian, let out a roar full of fawning, and galloped on all fours, like a moving golden mountain, completely blocking all of Bai Feng's escape routes from another direction!

This was... the first joint operation between Long Qingtian and Simba, two former top Prodigies from different factions, after submitting to Lin Tian!

"Damn it!"

Bai Feng looked at the two powerful opponents who were firmly blocking him, his face extremely ugly!

He knew that his plan to fish in troubled waters was completely... ruined.

A battle belonging to a "secondary battlefield," equally fierce, thus... erupted!

Long Qingtian's Heavenly Tribulation Body was overbearing and unparalleled, with thousands of thunder Dragons roaring out, each move a devastating killing blow!

The Golden Lion Simba's true form, the Nine-Headed Lion King, had invincible physical defense, and its nine huge lion heads simultaneously spewed out energy attacks of various attributes such as destructive sound waves, corrosive venom, and petrifying rays, making it impossible to guard against!

However, Bai Feng was, after all, a top Prodigy comparable to Long Qingtian!

His transplanted arm of god was even more mysterious and unpredictable, not only immune to all meme contamination in this place, but also capable of releasing a special force field powerful enough to disintegrate all things!

For a time, the three were locked in an inseparable battle, with neither side able to gain the upper hand!

After several failed attempts to break through the two's interception, Bai Feng's mindset finally... completely lost balance!

He looked at the distant youth, who was battling the SSS-grade ultimate BOSS back and forth, even subtly gaining the upper hand, like a god, and his heart, full of wisdom and pride, was completely... swallowed by a poisonous fire called "jealousy"!

Why?

Why could he be so relaxed and at ease?!

Why did all the halos have to be concentrated on him alone?!

I don't believe it!

I absolutely don't believe that he can defeat a true, contaminated ancient Martial God!

He must be... putting on a brave front!

Under extreme jealousy and unwillingness, Bai Feng completely fell into madness!

While fending off the fierce attacks of Long Qingtian and Simba, he hysterically roared at the two in a venomous and insane tone:

"Don't waste your breath! You two fools!"

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly! Your so-called master is about to be torn to shreds by that true SSS-grade Puppet!"

"He's dead for sure!"

As if to convince himself, he used all his strength to make the ultimate death-seeking declaration that would make him famous (or infamous) in history!

"I'll bet you!"

"If he really can defeat that Puppet today!"

"I, Bai Feng, will—"

"—live stream eating a keyboard in front of all the viewers worldwide!!!"

This crazy bet, full of modern internet slang, highly humiliating and amusing, instantly quieted the entire battlefield.

Long Qingtian and Simba looked at him with an expression as if they were looking at an idiot.

Meanwhile, at the other end, Lin Tian, who was fiercely fighting the war emperor's remains, heard these words, and a cold, mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh?"

"Live stream... eating a keyboard?"

"This bet..."

"—I accept it."
