Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: Jockeying for Position

If this were on Sky Dragon Planet, the two Dragon Knights would have likely intervened long ago. If the Sky Dragon Leader were present, the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan wouldn’t have dared act this way. But now, they simply did it.

A near-desperate tactic!

At this moment, Li Menglong was panicked. Whether it was him or others, everyone could see that Lan Xuanyu was already at the end of his strength, with only Xiuxiu still possessing some combat ability. This was the best opportunity to defeat “them” and win over the beauty!

But right now, a group of Eight-Armed Demon God fighters blocked their path ahead, completely denying them the chance to register for the competition.

However, this was ultimately Sky Horse Star, the territory of the Sky Horse Clan. Before the massive explosion earlier, Li Menglong had already sent a sound transmission to summon reinforcements.

Dozens of Sky Horse experts were quickly gathering toward this spot, and within ten minutes, they would be able to subdue the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan.

Yet, at this moment, a streak of blinding light suddenly shot like lightning towards the payment receptacle. It was a hulking Eight-Armed Demon God, even a full meter taller than the others, making his move.

Not only him—simultaneously, from multiple directions in the waiting area, several Heaven-Nurtured Crystals shot out like bullets, all aimed at the payment receptacle. Whoever deposited their payment into the receptacle first would earn the right to challenge Lan in the next match, and thus gain the possibility of winning the beauty’s favor.

At this moment, even those species weaker than the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan were unable to hold back; offending them had become secondary.

The Golden Dragon Princess wasn’t simply a member of the Dragon Clan—she was an extraordinary resource! “She” had already proven with her strength how powerful her bloodline was. Who wouldn’t want such a bloodline inheritor to join their own species? Not to mention, this could strengthen their ties with the Dragon Clan and enhance their own race’s power.

Thus, at this moment, no fewer than ten Heaven-Nurtured Crystals were launched into the air.

Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu naturally witnessed this spectacle. A peculiar thought flickered in Lan Xuanyu’s mind: if they were to sell Tang Sect’s “Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions” to these people tonight, would the prices soar?

Of course, it was just a passing thought.

At this time, representatives of all the major species displayed their unique abilities. Not only were these sub-God Rank powerhouses battling each other, but even the powerful figures behind them joined the fray, almost unconsciously.

In an instant, divine consciousness clashed furiously in the waiting area. Waves of intense mental fluctuations erupted, sweeping across the battlefield as every faction’s forces attempted to fend off their rivals’ divine consciousness and protect their Heaven-Nurtured Crystals while hindering opposing entries into the receptacle.

For a moment, chaos reigned outside the arena. The oppressive divine consciousness exuded waves of turbulent energy. It felt as if a chaotic melee had erupted.

Still, these God Rank powerhouses from various races exercised restraint. Their divine consciousness outbursts were confined to a small area—the waiting zone—and did not extend to Sky Horse Plaza. This was the Sky Horse Clan’s bottom line; no one dared cross it.

Causing a widespread bloodbath on this site would trigger consequences no race could bear.

Amidst the turmoil of these divine consciousnesses, an utterly violent wave suddenly exploded. This surge emanated from the very Eight-Armed Demon God who had thrown the Heaven-Nurtured Crystal.

The horrifying divine consciousness swept aside the surrounding fluxes, enveloping and protecting his Heaven-Nurtured Crystal as it streaked through the air, landing first into the payment receptacle.

However, strangely enough, it did not stop the other Heaven-Nurtured Crystals. Over ten additional Heaven-Nurtured Crystals flew in succession, all falling into the receptacle and becoming part of its growing resource pool.

“Hahahaha! Thanks for your generosity.” The hulking Eight-Armed Demon God burst into a mocking laugh, his eyes brimming with disdain.

Indeed! More than ten Heaven-Nurtured Crystals!

“This is the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan’s bloodline divine ability—divine consciousness grafting! Grafting among shared bloodlines?” A powerhouse from another species exclaimed in a deep, alarmed voice.

At this moment, the various powerhouse spectators on the main VIP balcony finally understood why the Eight-Armed Demon God King had left earlier. His departure wasn’t out of anger—it was premeditated.

Without a doubt, the Eight-Armed Demon God who had tossed the last Heaven-Nurtured Crystal was his progeny. The Eight-Armed Demon God Clan’s bloodline divine ability, Divine Consciousness Grafting, allowed their consciousness to be transferred directly to a descendant of shared blood. While short-lived, this was a lifesaving ability unique to their elite members. Especially top-tier descendants inherited this power naturally.

The Eight-Armed Demon God King, upon exiting earlier, executed two calculated moves. First, he ordered his subordinates to self-destruct and attack. He had already determined that Lan would not die from such an assault. Second, he prepared for this final, thunderous strike.

It didn’t matter that other species’ God Rank experts weren’t as strong as him. Simply using the grafting technique to transfer his consciousness to a descendant gave him a burst of unsurpassed dominance within such a short range. Even the Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang wouldn’t have been able to stop him unprepared.

The Eight-Armed Demon God Clan’s rise as the third-largest faction wasn’t merely due to brute strength. They were also highly intelligent, and the Eight-Armed Demon God King epitomized this genius. The full extent of his scheme now unfolded, designed entirely to give his progeny an opportunity.

The twelve-meter-tall Eight-Armed Demon God proven to be the Eight-Armed Demon God King’s youngest and most favored son. Despite not yet achieving God Rank, his extraordinarily high potential had been apparent since childhood. His mastery of destructive energy cultivation was especially prodigious, earning his father’s profound favor.

From the beginning, as he repeatedly sent his kin to compete, the Eight-Armed Demon God King had meticulously planned every step, all to craft this golden opportunity for his son to defeat Lan Xuanyu and claim the Golden Dragon Princess. As for the repercussions for their relationship with the Dragon Clan? That could always be repaired later. He didn’t believe the Dragon Knights would sever ties over a Dragon Clan member who hadn’t yet reached God Rank. After all, the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan’s support was crucial to the Dragon Horse Galaxy.

By now, over twenty Heaven-Nurtured Crystals had piled inside the payment receptacle. Above the receptacle shimmered a peculiar, radiant aura. The enormous vitality contained within could rival the central lake core of the Eternal Tree that Lan Xuanyu had once visited.

For any species, this many Heaven-Nurtured Crystals represented an unimaginable fortune!

Although the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan had lost numerous elite young warriors, securing the Golden Dragon Princess and accumulating this mountain of Heaven-Nurtured Crystals made their sacrifices worthwhile.

Astute observers immediately recognized the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan’s machinations—for what they were, what could possibly be done? As the Dawn Dragon Knight had declared: what happens in the arena stays in the arena. No one could prevent the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan from mounting this final challenge.

The massive Eight-Armed Demon God Crown Prince now strode confidently to the front of Arena One. Gazing intently at the weakened Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu on the stage, he broke into a wide smile. In the next moment, he stepped onto the arena.

Now, only a few minutes remained. Soon, he could issue the challenge. Among the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan, he was peerless beneath the God Rank, with half a foot already crossing into God Rank. Once they returned to the Demon God Star, he would complete his breakthrough, gaining even more formidable power.

The Demon God King had brought him here to participate in this critical Dragon Horse Galaxy tournament to cultivate and temper him. For their clan, raw power wasn’t enough; many of the Demon King’s other sons could accomplish that—it was the natural strength of their bloodline. What the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan lacked above all else was… brains—or rather, wisdom.
