The crowd, stunned:
"What... what is this energy?! He's a monster, not a human!"
Xu Jian smiles devilishly:
"It's hunting time."

The Birth of the Beast!
Crimson lights surge violently from Xu Jian's body, dancing around him like infernal flames, while a multicolored aura bursts forth with such force it nearly strips the air of its weight.
Spectators (trembling in awe):
"What... what's with this child's energy?"
Xu Jian slowly raises his head, his arrogant gaze etched with fire, a murderous intent flooding from him like a glacial flood. Some of the arena's audience can't withstand the pressure… collapsing to the ground, trembling. Some even wet themselves from sheer terror.
Xu Jian (with a crazed grin, his voice trembling between euphoria and madness):
"Bear witness to my divine wrath… Hahahahahaha!!"
The lights reflect as if responding to his call, and in a single moment, the Second Elder is dragged into the clutches of the "Raging Dragon".
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of crushing blows land on the Second Elder's face, as if Xu Jian were pulverizing a boulder. He slams him to the ground, grinding his face into the arena floor. The gravity field he exerts makes movement impossible. Allies try to attack from afar, but his Absolute Domain swallows everything!
One attacker (terrified):
"Damn you… Second Elder, you brought this monster upon us…!"
Second Elder (screaming in pain, trying to stand):
"Yes… he's the last hope!"
Suddenly, Cassius descends from the sky, his entire body radiating with a dark aura, eyes glowing with terrifying madness... he has transformed into something purely evil.
Xu Jian (taking a step back, laughing madly):
"Hahaha… Is that all you've got, little one?!"
But the Second Elder does the unexpected — he pulls out several body-enhancing elixirs from his robe. He and Cassius drink them together, and their power doubles dramatically.
Second Elder (laughing triumphantly, his black aura flowing like a river):
"Let's finish him now!"
Jason (watching from afar, speaking to Li Wei anxiously):
"Should we help… or what?"
Li Wei (sipping his drink calmly, as if knowing the outcome):
"No… the battle has just begun. I've heard of something like this before… and he came out victorious in the end. Let's see."

The Deadly Alliance...
The Second Elder and Cassius move together, launching a united attack. The resulting explosion wipes out half the city behind them!
The crowd (stunned, searching through the smoke and dust):
"It's over… it must be over!"
But from within the rising dust, Xu Jian appears again… his body battered, blood pouring out, but he's smiling like a madman.
Xu Jian (looking at himself, laughing with terrifying insanity):
"Seems… I'll have to do what came to mind..."

Absolute Domain… Instant Transmission!
In a blink, Xu Jian vanishes from in front of the Second Elder and appears directly behind Yura and the Supervisor, decapitating the Supervisor in an instant. He snatches her divine elixir and the Second Elder's healing elixir...
Yura (screaming in horror, body trembling):
"Wh-What a demon... how?!"
Xu Jian (in a cold, deadly tone as he flashes back to the arena):
"You think you're the only ones with plans…?"
He looks at the Second Elder with a savage smile, raising the sacred elixir high.
Xu Jian (his eyes ablaze with evil, voice like death itself):
"Everything you did in this Elixir Tournament... was according to my calculations. I let you proceed with your plan. I knew you'd use that rampaging fool. You've been dancing in my palm all along, you idiot! Now... watch as I use what your own hands created."
Second Elder (shouting, trying to attack):
"Attack him! Quickly! He's about to—!"
Xu Jian (with hysterical laughter, drinking the explosion elixir):
"Too late… much too late."
A divine energy radiates from Xu Jian's body...
The crowd (screaming in terror, eyes wide in shock):
"My God… that energy… it's tearing the sky apart!!"
But the pain Xu Jian feels is indescribable… and yet he laughs, as if the pain only fuels his madness.
Second Elder (mocking, glaring at the collapsing Xu Jian):
"Fool… your body won't hold out! You'll die!!"
Xu Jian (with a beastly smile, pulling out the sacred elixir):
"What did you say? Hahaha… then watch me… and see how I use what your hands made."
Second Elder (screaming in horror, eyes wide with dread):
"Noooooooooooo!"
A divine aura bursts from Xu Jian's body…
But what happened wasn't natural — the divine aura vanished suddenly, replaced by a thick, black aura engulfing his body… his eyes turn crimson red, as if a devil had finally awakened.
The Head of the Poison Dragon Clan (laughing mockingly, thinking he's won):
"Hahahaha… Looks like the fool died… what a stupid suicide move!"
But suddenly…
BOOOOOOM!!!!
The Poison Dragon Clan Head's body is utterly crushed…
Nothing remains but a splatter of blood… Xu Jian stands behind him, smiling horrifyingly, killing intent flowing from him like a curse from another realm.
Xu Jian (with false gentleness, whispering from the shadows):
"One down… now, let the hunt begin."

New Chapter – The Birth of a Demon
Everyone froze in shock. The ground trembled beneath their feet, and the air was saturated with an evil energy — a black curse given human form.
The Head of the Poison Dragon Clan, who was laughing moments ago, didn't realize he was far closer to death than he thought. In a blink, his body was obliterated under a merciless gravitational force that tore through flesh and bone like shredded paper.
Xu Jian, standing in the middle of the chaos, looked at the remaining enemies with a cold smile, his crimson eyes glowing like gateways to hell itself.
Xu Jian, in a calm and terrifying voice:
"One down... now, let the hunt begin."
Everyone felt a chill crawl through their spines. Even the strongest warriors couldn't hide their fear. This wasn't human anymore — the beast was out of control.
The Second Elder, witnessing the fall of one of his strongest allies, held back his rage and tried to gather himself.
Second Elder, furious and anxious:
