The faces of the three Otherworld Beast Kings twisted in horror as they instinctively retreated, huddling together in a defensive formation. Gone was their earlier composure—now, they were visibly shaken.
The Eastern Beast King had fallen—slain in a single exchange. None of them could have accomplished such a feat.
Though they considered the Eastern Beast King the weakest among them, a one-on-one fight would still have been an even match. The idea that any of them could instantly kill him was unthinkable.
Now, they were terrified, utterly stunned and unable to believe what had just happened.
"How is this possible? Are we sure this isn't some Illusion left behind by the Eastern Beast King?"
"That was his real body. He's truly dead."
"This is absurd! He's only level 43, while we're all level 50!"
Fear crept into their panic. Just moments ago, they had been sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, barely sparing Ye Yu a glance, unwilling to join forces against him. Now, they regretted it. Had they all attacked together from the start, four against one, they might have stood a chance.
Meanwhile, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew—and many others watching from around the world—were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
"Haha, that's our Captain for you!"
"These three Beast Kings are getting their faces slapped. So calm before, so panicked now."
"Trying to act tough in front of the Captain? That's a guaranteed loss."
...
Lin Muxue and the others frowned slightly, but they weren't worried.
Wang Quanshi sneered, "What's there to fear? Ye Yu just revealed his Trump Card early. Of course he could instantly kill the Eastern Beast King."
Song Ling nodded in agreement. "After all, in that instant, it was three Ye Yus striking at full power. A single Beast King naturally couldn't withstand that. But now that the Trump Card's been used, facing three Beast Kings, Ye Yu might not win."
Yang Luo added, "Even if Ye Yu is strong, when we fought together earlier, we initially had the upper hand. It was only after those two Phantoms appeared that he seized the opportunity to scatter and wound us, allowing him to kill a few captains. Now, he's already used the Phantoms. Though he took down one Beast King, it won't give him an advantage."
They remained unshaken, still convinced Ye Yu was in grave danger.
...
At that moment, the three Beast Kings noticed the two Phantoms had vanished. Realizing something, they exchanged glances and relaxed, spreading out again.
Their earlier behavior had been cowardly, humiliating—a slap to their pride. Now that they understood, they felt ashamed.
"Hmph, we actually let him scare us."
"He fooled us. I get it now—it's not that he's stronger than us, but those two Phantoms let him fight with triple his usual power in that instant."
"Right. This Mystic Realm was supposed to be his death sentence—against all four of us, he was doomed. Even in a one-on-one, without those Phantoms, the Eastern Beast King would've been cautious, making it hard for Ye Yu to win. The only reason he succeeded was because of those Phantoms. And now, he clearly can't use them again. A powerful Trump Card, but once it's spent, what then?"
The three Beast Kings grew bold once more, though they didn't charge immediately, still unsure if more Phantoms remained.
Ye Yu spoke plainly, "Don't worry. The Phantoms can only be used once. But it's enough—three left now. That makes things a little easier."
This made the three Otherworld Beast Kings breathe a sigh of relief, but they wouldn't underestimate their opponent anymore, instead preparing to join forces.
They were furious, having just been humiliated moments ago.
"Kid, you got your moment to show off earlier. Now it's time to pay the price."
"You've angered us. Prepare to face the combined might of all three of us."
...
Ye Yu sheathed Black Blade Night, his entire body turning pitch-black as Armament Haki covered him, ready to rely solely on body techniques. Knowing the coming battle would be perilous, he felt somewhat fortunate—their earlier underestimation had allowed him to seize the opportunity to eliminate one of them using Phantom.
Otherwise, had they not been careless, even with Phantom, he wouldn't have been confident of succeeding. But now, there was hope.
The three Otherworld Beast Kings instantly closed in from three directions, forming a triangular encirclement around Ye Yu.
In an instant, they were upon him, launching terrifying attacks from all sides—a relentless barrage of fists and kicks, dense as a storm.
The entire world watched intently, knowing that the true battle of this Mystic Realm had begun.
Yang Luo prayed silently, "Take Ye Yu down."
Ye Yu pushed his Observation Haki to its limits, dodging rapidly while counterattacking. He tried to disperse their assault with his fists, but upon collision, their forces canceled each other out—some of the impact even rebounded onto him, striking his body. This meant he was at a disadvantage.
The body techniques of these three Otherworld Beast Kings were formidable—swift and powerful.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yu was surrounded by a flurry of fists and kicks, as if hundreds were striking at him simultaneously.
Yet Ye Yu managed to hold his ground, defending and countering, his fists and feet clashing endlessly with theirs. Explosive impacts reverberated continuously, the unleashed force rippling through the air around them.
The three Beast Kings were shocked. They had expected him to be injured quickly, but he was still standing strong.
"No wonder he dared to come in here. He's got some skill."
"Only level 43, yet his combat power surpasses ours by leaps and bounds."
"Thankfully, he's just level 43. If he were level 50, we'd be crushed."
"He wouldn't even need to be level 50—level 49 might be enough to overwhelm us, including the Eastern Beast King."
...
After their initial surprise, they grew more assured. Though Ye Yu's strength was beyond expectations, now that they were engaged, they had a clear grasp of his capabilities.
Under their relentless assault, they were certain Ye Yu was already giving his all—after all, they weren't holding back either.
So, they understood: though monstrously talented, against the three of them, Ye Yu was still at a disadvantage. If this continued, he would inevitably be defeated.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosive clashes continued as Ye Yu's figure flickered about. But his opponents gave him no respite—the moment he shifted position, the three Beast Kings coordinated seamlessly, surrounding him in their triangular formation once more.
Ye Yu was forced back, quickly stabilizing himself before leaping higher into the air using Moon Walk. However, within this barrier, the three Beast Kings could also fly, swiftly pursuing him upward.
When Ye Yu reached the peak of his ascent, he dove downward, channeling the force of his descent along with his full strength into a double-fisted strike as he roared, "God Fear!"
The three Beast Kings shuddered—this punch carried terrifying power. The name "God Fear" was no exaggeration.
In a one-on-one fight, none of them would stand a chance. But united, they raised their fists in unison to meet the blow. The moment of impact sent visible shockwaves rippling outward, as if a massive boulder had been dropped into a tranquil lake.
Ye Yu's fists and arms ached as he realized he was still at a disadvantage. The difficulty of this Mystic Realm was immense—comparable to the previous Giant Sanctuary in terms of challenge, if not even harder.
After all, there was no ocean here.
The battle raged on—one hour, three hours, five hours passed.
The high intensity and relentless pace left Ye Yu covered in wounds, bruises, pain, and numbness.
The three Otherworld Beast Kings were shocked. How could he still hold on? And yet, they too had suffered injuries.
Yang Luo was delighted. "There's hope! Even though Ye Yu is monstrously strong, he's still at a slight disadvantage."
Song Ling and Lin Muxue also felt a surge of joy.
However, Wang Quanshi frowned. "You all seem to have forgotten one thing—Ye Yu still has a Trump Card. He's not the same as he was during the Pirate Crew battle."
His words sent a collective jolt through them.
And at that moment, within the Mystic Realm, Ye Yu's declaration shook the Otherworld Beast Kings—and the entire world.
"First, I'll take out one of you. As expected, I still can't make it through. I didn't want to reveal my newly acquired Trump Card so soon, but I have no choice now. It's time to use it."
