The rules of the 'Champion Battlefield' had all vanished entirely.

Along with it, the so-called points leaderboard also disappeared without a trace, and the human-added monsters and bosses on the battlefield vanished into thin air.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire battlefield instantly.

"Uuu..."

"Crack, crack..."

Strange wailing and the sound of bones clashing rose from the battlefield as countless remains returned to this ancient battlefield where they had perished!

"What... what is happening?"

"Why is it like this...?"

"Has the outside lost control over the Champion Battlefield?"

For a moment, almost all participants on the battlefield were thrown into chaos.

Many among them had already sensed something was amiss.

Some even immediately waved at their accompanying flying puppets, hoping those outside would teleport them out in time.

However, the flying puppets at this moment showed no reaction whatsoever.

It was as if they malfunctioned, suspended mid-air and entirely unresponsive to external stimuli.

Panic spread across the battlefield...

Lin Ye's situation was slightly peculiar.

With the reset of the Secret Realm, the Rock Armor Earth Dragon, a boss that had been added later on, naturally vanished directly.

In its place came a multitude of undead monsters.

It was clear that these were soldiers who perished on the ancient battlefield, reappearing on this battlefield at the moment when the 'Champion Battlefield' was reset to the 'Ancient Battlefield.'

"How... how could it be like this?"

"Did something go wrong outside?"

Qin Yi's two followers became flustered.

The current situation was indeed bizarre, and no one knew what had happened.

This sudden turn of events puzzled Lin Ye as well.

In the trajectory he knew from the previous life, this year's Champion Battlefield should have concluded smoothly.

But now, this twist had occurred...

Lin Ye could almost be certain that there was someone plotting against him.

Just as Lin Ye was contemplating, a new prompt appeared before him.

[Task Generated...]

[Generation Complete!]

[Task Content: Eliminate at least one million undead soldiers and the 'Battlefield Lord']

[The 'Battlefield Lord' has been occupied by the Demon Monarch 'Sikong Ming'!]

Lin Ye raised his eyebrows...

What a bizarre situation.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"Sikong Ming? Demon Monarch! This doesn't make any sense..."

"What on earth is going on..."

The other two people were trembling, feeling they had trapped themselves in a terrible situation.

Even someone dumb would know by now that there was a Demon God-level being at work behind this.

Human Professionals, once they accepted the power of the Demon God, would develop another set of leveling systems, namely Demon, Demon Soldier, Demon General, and Demon Monarch, corresponding to the First to Fourth Transformation of human Professionals.

This type of demonized Professional, though all are considered the Demon God's claws and followers, has a tremendous power gap!

Just like a Demon General, their battle strength could rival a Third-Turn Professional.

A Third-Turn Professional is seen as a leader-level Professional among humans, regarded by most as the ceiling of Professionals.

And now entering the battlefield was an existence whose battle strength far surpassed that of a Demon General—a Demon Monarch!

This was equivalent to the level of a human Fourth-Turn Professional!

For all the Professionals present, facing an existence of this level was utterly unbeatable.

Despite the presence of level suppression, even if disregarding level suppression, relying solely on attributes, they could not contend with these First Transformation Junior Professionals on the battlefield.

"We're doomed..."

"We're completely doomed!"

The two Professionals trembled all over, failing to expect the situation would devolve into this.

Eliminating a Demon Monarch was patently impossible!

"Sikong Ming..."

Ke Jue suddenly seemed to realize something, saying abruptly, "I think the original owner of the Champion Battlefield was named Sikong Ming!"

"That's right, it should be him! The person who could have become the first human Fifth-Turn Ultimate Powerhouse of the Space System!" Qin Yi also interjected.

"Huh? Wasn't he supposed to have fallen a long time ago? Even if he hadn't, the timeline doesn't match... Even if he was demonized, he couldn't live this long, right?" someone seemed skeptical of this information.

After all, it's not impossible to have the same name.

Lin Ye explained, "As the controller of the Secret Realm, he is the only one who can enter the Secret Realm above its level limit; others cannot, not even a Demon God!"

As the Lord of the Secret Realm, he naturally had the authority to speak on this matter.

But why Sikong Ming suddenly reappeared in the world and became a Demon Monarch...

Qin Yi looked at Lin Ye, gloating, "He's come for you!"

Lin Ye fell silent...

He had anticipated this early on.

There were no real fools present, and after Qin Yi's reminder, they naturally understood immediately.

A Demon God was scheming to trap and kill Lin Ye.

And they were merely caught in the crossfire.

Just then, a prompt appeared before everyone's eyes.

["Sikong Ming" has bound his soul unilaterally with "Lin Ye!"]

Finally, everything became clear.

As Qin Yi had said, this move was indeed targeting Lin Ye!

A Demon Monarch in this space was invincible.

But now the only way out appeared before all the participants...

Kill Lin Ye!

Since Sikong Ming bound his soul unilaterally with Lin Ye, as long as they killed Lin Ye, Sikong Ming would naturally die as well.

This was the only way for all participants on the battlefield to survive.

It has to be said, this move was insidious.

But speaking of strange, it was indeed very bizarre.

If they genuinely wanted to kill Lin Ye, wouldn't Sikong Ming taking direct action against Lin Ye be simpler?

Why resort to such a ploy to force other participants to act against Lin Ye?

"Lin Ye..."

Ke Jue looked at Lin Ye with a complex expression.

To be honest, they had only met a handful of times, and she had a lot of pressure, largely brought by Lin Ye.

But seeing Lin Ye being caught in such a situation, she still couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

"Heh... It's fine! There's always a way to solve this," Lin Ye said with a smile.

Demon Monarch...

If it were truly so formidable, why would it not act directly but resort to such a method, coercing others to deal with him?

Lin Ye felt there might not be a solution after all.

"Let's go! Don't let others mistake us as being on Lin Ye's side!"

At this time, Qin Yi beckoned to Ke Jue and the others.

Standing by Lin Ye's side now would indeed make them the target of all.
