Prison Planet—a barren world located roughly one light-year from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's main star.
The planet's surface was riddled with erupting volcanoes. Rivers of blazing magma crawled slowly across the land, turning the entire world into a living purgatory. Ordinary life could not survive here at all.
At this moment, two figures stood suspended above the hellish terrain.
Jiang Yan and Ronnie Nolanshan.
Jiang Yan wore a white-and-gold combat suit, a long spear in hand, his expression calm and composed.
Several thousand meters opposite him stood a handsome young man in black battle armor, red pupils gleaming beneath sharp, pointed ears. A battle saber rested in his grip.
Ronnie Nolanshan.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
My very first life-and-death match… and it's the Nolanshan family.
Fate truly had a twisted sense of humor.
And Pula will also enter the life-and-death arena sooner or later, Jiang Yan thought coldly.
Once I return to the ninth level of the stellar rank, chances are high that we'll be matched as well.
A sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
No matter what, this Nolanshan family seemed destined to fall into the hands of Earthlings.
Ronnie Nolanshan, on the other hand, was brimming with excitement—utterly devoid of pressure.
"Win this match, and I, Ronnie Nolanshan, will become the first genius of the Nolanshan family since our ancestor to earn the title of Fighting Martial King!"
"Hahaha! The arena really favors me—matching me with a newcomer!"
"Once I secure a hundred consecutive victories, the clan ancestor will surely praise me!"
Ronnie stared at Jiang Yan from afar, killing intent blazing in his red eyes.
As long as he killed this opponent, the title of Fighting Martial King would be his.
Unfortunately, the match had not officially begun yet.
"The life-and-death battle is about to commence. Identities will be confirmed one final time."
A deep, resonant voice echoed across Prison Planet.
High in the planet's atmosphere stood a powerful figure clad in golden battle armor, a massive tomahawk slung across his back.
The supervisor.
A Universe-level powerhouse.
In the Giant Axe Arena, every life-and-death match was overseen by a supervisor—someone at least one major realm higher than the combatants.
Stellar-level match → Universe-level supervisorUniverse-level match → Domain Lord supervisorDomain Lord match → World Master supervisorWorld Master match → Immortal supervisor
Once a life-and-death contract was signed, there was no retreat.
Any attempt to flee would be met with immediate execution by the supervisor.
Rules of the Giant Axe Arena—absolute and merciless.
"Ronnie Nolanshan.
Warrior. Stellar Rank Five. First-layer domain."
"Thunder Emperor.
Warrior. Stellar Rank Five. First-layer domain."
The supervisor's voice rang out clearly.
The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth curved upward.
Perfect.
This was exactly the information he had submitted.
In this match, he would only use first-layer domain power—no Laws, no soul techniques.
Once he displayed strength beyond what was on record, the arena would immediately re-evaluate him and assign stronger opponents in future matches.
Of course—
He wasn't afraid of strong opponents.
What he feared was being too strong, to the point that the arena couldn't find anyone suitable to match him against.
If he revealed his nine-layer domain and Law comprehension now, he might never get another opponent.
And more importantly—
As long as he appeared weaker, the odds assigned to him would stay high.
That meant money.
This first match alone carried odds of 1:2.23.
If all bets paid out, his group could earn over a hundred mixed yuan units.
That was more than a hundred mixed units!
"It's time. Begin."
The supervisor's voice fell.
At the same instant, the live broadcast went live across the Virtual Universe.
"Thunder Emperor—become my stepping stone to the title of Fighting Martial King!"
Ronnie roared, drawing his battle saber. Killing intent surged violently.
This victory—
Was his without question!
In the next instant, his figure vanished.
"Let's play with you a bit… Zhenshan River."
Jiang Yan sneered inwardly.
He raised his spear and vanished as well, striking out with planetary-level spear art from the Xuanwu Suppression Spear Manual.
Planetary-level techniques were more than enough for a stellar-level opponent like Ronnie.
If he used a stellar-level move, Ronnie would be killed in an instant.
Boom!
The two figures collided amid surging magma.
Violent energy erupted, tearing apart the molten rivers below.
"Die!"
Ronnie shouted coldly.
His Golden Edge Domain exploded outward, blade light roaring as his saber slashed down with terrifying force.
Golden blades formed from domain energy filled the air, sealing off Jiang Yan's vital points.
He was aiming for a swift kill.
Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as his own domain expanded.
He raised his spear to block.
The spear trembled violently as the heavy suppressive force of Zhenshan River spread outward, shattering the incoming blade light.
Then—
He deliberately revealed a flaw.
A streak of blade light grazed his left shoulder, sending him flying backward.
Gasps erupted across the Virtual Universe livestream.
"Hahaha! Just a newbie after all—Ronnie's got this!"
In the audience, Yuke Nolanshan and the others were in high spirits.
They could already see the scene of Ronnie personally killing Jiang Yan and being crowned Fighting Martial King.
"Haha, the third brother's acting is impeccable—truly a veteran!"
Inside Manluo's private box, Thor, Hong, and Luo Feng burst out laughing.
"If he doesn't act for a while, the arena's evaluation will spike," Mingyu chuckled.
"Then finding suitable opponents later will be a headache."
In another box, Venina and the others clenched their fists.
Even knowing Jiang Yan was acting, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
Back on Prison Planet—
Seeing Jiang Yan retreat, Ronnie grew wildly excited. His attacks became even fiercer as his domain power crushed inward, trying to completely seal Jiang Yan's movement.
"Die!"
Ronnie leapt into the air.
All his strength condensed into his saber, forming a golden blade dozens of meters long that slashed downward, as if to cleave the planet itself.
Jiang Yan put on a grave expression.
His spear stabbed repeatedly, countless afterimages forming a defensive barrier.
Bang!
The blade crashed into the barrier. Cracks spread instantly.
,Jiang Yan "lost balance" and flew backward.
"Perfect chance!"
Ecstasy flashed through Ronnie's eyes.
He chased after Jiang Yan like a shadow, saber thrusting straight toward Jiang Yan's throat.
At the instant the blade was about to strike—
Jiang Yan twisted sharply.
The spear reversed at an impossible angle, brushing past the saber's edge.
Clang!
The spear shaft slammed heavily into Ronnie's wrist.
"Ah!"
Pain exploded through Ronnie's arm. His grip loosened, the saber nearly slipping free.
Before he could recover—
A cold light flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes.
He surged forward.
The spear accelerated violently, the tip precisely piercing the center of Ronnie's brow.
Terrifying power flooded in, instantly tearing apart his sea of consciousness.
"No—!"
Ronnie's pupils shrank to pinpoints as he screamed in horror.
Bang!!
Like a watermelon exploding, his head burst apart.
The headless corpse fell into the magma below, sizzling as it vanished.
Jiang Yan hovered in midair, deliberately panting, his expression filled with lingering fear—as if he had narrowly escaped death.
In the Virtual Universe—
Every member of the Nolanshan family sat frozen, like stone statues.
Faces pale. Minds blank.
Just moments ago, Ronnie clearly held the advantage.
So how—
How did he end up being instantly killed instead?
Their hope…
Had shattered completely.
