Hearing the host's words, everyone present turned their expectant gazes toward Ning Yechen.
For over a century, many of the younger generation in the Demon Realm had only heard tales of the Great Demon Lord's past glory and power, never truly witnessing his might firsthand.
Thus, their hearts overflowed with anticipation, hoping to personally witness the legendary, god-like prowess of the Demon Sovereign they had heard so much about.
Ning Yechen pondered for a moment, then a faint smile spread across his face.
"Alright~"
*Since I'm here anyway,* he thought, *participating in the Eternal Night Cage Arena again after so long might be fun.*
"Ooh ooh ooh~!"
"The Great Demon Lord is entering the arena personally!"
The crowd erupted in excitement at Ning Yechen's agreement to compete. Many stood up in their eagerness.
*What a stroke of luck to witness the Great Demon Lord's legendary might in the Eternal Night Cage Arena!*
"My dear, wait a moment~"
Ning Yechen handed the Luo Hongye in his arms to Luo Ruying, a charming smile playing on his lips. With a confident step, he leaped into the arena.
"Go, Daddy~!"
Luo Hongye, nestled in Luo Ruying's arms, turned to watch Ning Yechen in the arena, her crescent-shaped smile radiating, and called out in her sweet, childish voice.
The child had been under the impression it was a performance all along...
The crowd's hearts nearly melted at the sight of the little princess's childish cheer.
*The little princess is so adorable!* (❁ ́◡`❁)
Hearing his daughter's cheer, Ning Yechen felt an unprecedented surge of excitement.
*I must show off my old man's strength in front of my precious daughter!*
Of course, he'd need to hold back a bit—no excessive violence or gore...
*Wouldn't want to scare the child...*
*This old man must maintain his gentle image before her!*
Before the host could speak, Ning Yechen casually shed his outer robe and let it fall to the ground. Glancing at the hundreds of thousands of spectators, he said indifferently:
"All of you are citizens of the Demon Realm. Today, I welcome challenges from every one of you."
"Anyone with the courage may step forward."
"However, time is short. I have business to attend to."
"You... all come at once."
A deathly silence fell over the arena, the crowd stunned into silence.
Luo Ruying was startled.
*This guy is too arrogant...*
*What if they all really attack at once?*
But then she considered Ning Yechen's strength. *Even if everyone here attacked him at once, it probably wouldn't make much difference...*
Luo Ruying turned to look at Yue Qingyou behind her.
Hearing Ning Yechen's words, Yue Qingyou showed no signs of stopping him or any concern. Instead, a faint smile of satisfaction played on her lips.
*The Great Demon Lord has been away from the Demon Realm for too long. It's time for its people to once again feel the power of their sovereign...*
After a brief moment of silence, many in the crowd couldn't help but grin wildly, their faces contorting into savage smiles as they rose to their feet.
In the Demon Realm, strength reigned supreme, and virtually everyone practiced cultivation.
Among the crowd were numerous powerful cultivators, including Immortal Venerables, Immortal Emperors, and Immortal Kings.
Even one or two reclusive experts with Immortal Emperor cultivation were hidden among them!
In the Demon Realm, the opportunity to personally spar with the Great Demon Lord was a rare and coveted honor!
And this time, it wasn't even a treasonous assassination attempt—how could they miss such a perfect opportunity?
"Great Demon Lord!!!"
"Face your death!"
"I've long wanted to test my might against you!"
"Get out of the way! I'll go first!"
"The Great Demon Lord's first blood shall be mine!!"
In an instant, the crowd stomped their feet, shattering the steps. Streaks of divine light shot through the barrier and surged into the arena!
Many fanatics even tore off their clothes on the spot, revealing their most formidable forms!
Thousands of terrifying spiritual pressures surged toward the arena's ceiling, and a thick, terrifying demonic spirit filled the entire space.
Bone wings, beast wings, and a relentless barrage of Demon Realm treasures and immortal artifacts filled the air, flying in every direction.
Even tamed demonic beasts were summoned, plunging the scene into utter chaos.
Inside the arena, Ning Yechen's figure darted and weaved, flickering back and forth. Each punch and kick sent streaks of "meteors" hurtling from the arena.
At first, they struck the barrier. But soon, Ning Yechen carelessly shattered the barrier, along with the person behind it.
After that, the combatants transformed into streaks of meteors, streaking across the sky and crashing into the stands, the arena floor, and the walls.
Yet despite this carnage, the crowd remained frenzied with excitement.
Some, with broken ribs and blood gushing from their mouths, still wiped their lips and charged back into the fray.
The first wave fell, only for the second to immediately take their place.
Thousands more waited around the perimeter, observing and biding their time to strike.
The host, hovering in mid-air and frantically dodging the flying figures, was at a loss for how to continue commentating on the match.
The scene was utter chaos...
"The Great Demon Lord is about to fall! Charge!"
"Take down the Great Demon Lord!"
"Just touch him once and you win!"
"Everyone, attack at once!"
"Ahhhhhh!"
Hidden behind the gate, Bai Yuan and Cai Se watched the boisterous, chaotic battle, their eyes wide with astonishment.
*The Lord is truly formidable...*
*One against ten thousand, yet he's doing so effortlessly...*
*Almost everyone is taken down with a single strike...*
Luo Ruying, holding Luo Hongye, stood in the stands with a stunned expression.
In contrast, Luo Hongye in her arms was brimming with excitement, her tiny pink fists waving vigorously as she cheered on Ning Yechen.
Yue Qingyou gazed at Ning Yechen, who was now fully immersed in the fray, fighting alongside the demon realm citizens, with a radiant smile.
*What a heartwarming scene...*
Luo Ruying couldn't help but ask, "Qingyou, is this really okay...?"
She had already seen many people collapse from exhaustion...
Yet challengers continued to swarm Ning Yechen in an endless tide...
Some even ran outside to rally more people, who then rushed back in to join the battle...
"Don't worry, Madam," Yue Qingyou said, turning to Luo Ruying with a radiant smile. "These are the people of the Demon Realm expressing their love and respect for the Great Demon Lord~"
"Look how popular the Great Demon Lord is, Madam~~"
"Every face is beaming with joy, inspired by the Great Demon Lord's presence~"
Luo Ruying: "..."
Watching the brutal battle in the arena, her heart felt a sudden turmoil.
*Is this really how they express love and respect...?*
*I've heard so many people roaring for Ning Yechen's head...*
*Is this considered popularity in the Demon Realm...?*
*Suddenly, the love of the Demon Realm's people feels... a bit overwhelming...*
After a moment, the arena fell silent.
The vast Eternal Night Cage Arena was reduced to ruins, filled with shattered walls, billowing dust, and utter devastation.
Tens of thousands lay scattered across the ground, their moans echoing through the dust, embedded in walls and floors in grotesque poses...
Ning Yechen clapped his hands, slowly emerging from the dust with a relaxed, satisfied expression. He walked back to Luo Ruying and took her hand.
"Wife, let's go~"
"Let's go home~"
