Colosseum.

This was where the Imperial Nether Clan members sparred with each other, similar to the fighting rings commonly used by humans. Xiang Shaoyun, Ming Pan, and the others arrived. There weren't many people in the colosseum, as only insiders of the royal family were allowed to witness this spar. Under Ming Abi's meticulous promotion, quite a number of insiders had come.

"The new nineteenth prince is battling Ming Pan? Interesting," said a prince with a ruminating smile.

"Ming Pan isn't weak. He's different from a new Devil Saint like Ming He. Although the nineteenth prince can summon the Nether Yin Gate, he probably won't be Ming Pan's match," said a different person.

"The nineteenth prince was appointed by the Nether Monarch himself. As someone who had awakened three abilities, he didn't even have to go through the ceremonial rites. It's a pity he's not a pureblood. Otherwise, Ming Pan wouldn't have dared to challenge him."

"I heard he's the son of the previous little princess. It's understandable why his bloodline is so powerful. If he is willing to serve the clan with his life, it's not a bad thing to have him in the clan."

...

Most of them were only here to watch a good show. All of them were sure that Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't be Ming Pan's match. The gap between the two was simply too big. Among the people who had arrived were two imperial uncles. Both were exceedingly powerful and were even stronger than Ming Abi. They sat high above all others, looking majestic and glorious.

The two remained silent, and their gazes were focused on Xiang Shaoyun and Ming Fu with complicated emotions in their eyes. When Ming Fu saw them, her expression turned unnatural.

"Mother, what's going on? Are you not confident in me?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

Ming Fu shook her head and said, "Of course not. Be careful. If you can't win, just concede. The Nether Monarch himself had appointed you. Ming Pan wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

"Don't worry, mother. Your son's strength is beyond their wildest imagination," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smirk.

Not only had he obtained a devil cultivation base, but he had also reached fourth-stage Soul Foundation Realm. As for his soul, it had reached second-stage Saint Realm. He wouldn't even fear a Saint in a battle.

"Nineteenth prince, you may start," said Ming Pan with a sneer after jumping into the ring.

Xiang Shaoyun also nimbly landed inside. Finally, everyone was able to get a clear look at the mysterious nineteenth prince. Back when he had fought at the previous colosseum, only a small number of people had seen his actual appearance. Now, the royal family members finally had the chance to see him.

The devils had always stood opposed to the humans. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun's human appearance invoked loathing in some of them. But when Xiang Shaoyun's rune rippled with a power similar to theirs, their loathing transformed into friendliness.

"Before we fight, shall we sign a waiver?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.

"Haha, do you think this is the human world? Every single warrior who steps foot in the colosseum is ready to die. We don't waste our time with waivers. If you can really kill me, you won't have to bear any consequences," said Ming Pan as he roared with laughter.

"I see. Let's get started then," said Xiang Shaoyun as his lips curled into a smile.

Imperial Nether Domain!

He held nothing back and used the Imperial Nether Domain directly. He wouldn't give his opponent a chance to defeat him. Only in the Imperial Nether Domain would he be the absolute master. In there, he would dare to face even a Devil Saint.

There was a limit to the Imperial Nether Domain's range. Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't be able to trap anyone not within its range. His domain was big enough to encase the entire colosseum, so Ming Pan couldn't escape unless he escaped the colosseum.

Xiang Shaoyun had considered his domain's range when agreeing to this challenge. Of course, if Ming Pan flew high into the sky in time, he could still escape the domain. However, Ming Pan didn't, and he released his own Imperial Nether Domain.

"Ming He's domain is not your match. Let's try my domain instead," said Ming Pan with a smile.

Instantly, the two domains collided. As a third-stage Devil Saint, Ming Pan's Imperial Nether Domain was wide and powerful. Ming He's domain was nothing compared to his. At this time, Ming He was also observing the battle. He exclaimed inwardly, It has only been a year, yet that kid's domain has become even scarier!

A regular person couldn't sense the domain's existence, but as fellow Imperial Nether Clan members, they were sensitive to it. They could even clearly sense the domain's strength. The domain that had shocked Ming He wasn't Ming Pan's but Xiang Shaoyun's.

Before this, Xiang Shaoyun hadn't properly solidified his devil cultivation. Even at that time, his Imperial Nether Domain was already extremely powerful. With his devil cultivation solidified and the breakthrough of his astral energy cultivation, his Imperial Nether Domain had risen to a brand new level. It became much bigger and more powerful.

Ming He could clearly sense the difference between this domain and the previous domain. He worried on Ming Pan's behalf as he sneered inwardly, Looks like Ming Pan is going to suffer from his own provocations.

The princes were also competing with each other. Each of them had a chance to become the next Nether Monarch. Thus, Ming He didn't really like either Xiang Shaoyun or Ming Pan. He was happy to see either of them lose.

Ming Pan could also feel the strength of Xiang Shaoyun's domain. He felt pressured, but he was akin to an arrow nocked on a bow. He could no longer back out of this fight.

"Die!" Ming Pan used his rune and readied himself to devour Xiang Shaoyun's domain with his own.

He used his Saint Realm cultivation to suppress Xiang Shaoyun's very soul in the hopes of stopping Xiang Shaoyun's domain. Unfortunately, his soul suppression wasn't strong enough to threaten Xiang Shaoyun's soul. The two domains collided and started devouring each other.

While the domains clashed, Ming Pan charged Xiang Shaoyun and roared, "Your domain will collapse by itself after I capture your main body!"

Xiang Shaoyun sneered and said, "Since you're courting death, you have no one to blame but yourself."

As he said that, his Imperial Nether Domain suddenly erupted like a storm. Numerous soul marks transformed into different attacks and bombarded Ming Pan's domain. The soul marks even reached out of the domain to attack Ming Pan himself, giving him a fright.
