"There's a second matter."
Gu Chuan paid no attention to the discussions among the demon gods and continued, "Chaos City will designate an area as an arena where any demon god who wishes to compete may enter and battle.
Fighting within this arena will not be restricted by Chaos City's rules. You may fight without concern, and the one overseeing the arena will be Pangu."
"What?!"
The moment these words were spoken, all the Chaos Demon Gods widened their eyes in shock before erupting into excitement, causing an uproar.
To be honest, staying in Chaos City had always made them feel stifled. After all, combat was forbidden here, and for demon gods, not engaging in battle for long periods felt like rust accumulating on their bodies.
No matter what, they were beings born from chaos, and the desire for combat was deeply ingrained in their very blood.
Now, the Lord of Chaos City was actually opening an arena where demon gods could challenge one another freely.
"This is incredible! A place dedicated to battle!"
"I've been waiting for something like this for ages! We cultivate daily, refining our skills and comprehending different techniques, yet we never have the chance to test our strength in real combat."
"Exactly! Staying in Chaos City all the time makes us feel useless, and leaving the city is too dangerous."
"That's right! Demon gods outside of Chaos City battle to the death the moment they cross paths. How else are we supposed to test our abilities?"
"The Lord of Chaos City is truly farsighted! He saw the issue at a glance. This is brilliant!"
Many demon gods were overwhelmed with excitement. They could feel their blood boiling, eager to step into the arena and engage in fierce combat.
Whoosh!
After making these announcements, Gu Chuan and Pangu left, arriving at a vast, empty space within Chaos City.
Even though billions of demon gods had poured into Chaos City, much of it remained unoccupied. Many areas were still barren.
After all, despite being Chaos Demon Gods, their transformed forms within Chaos City were only the size of ordinary humans. Even with billions of them, they could not possibly fill the vast city.
"Fellow Daoist Gu Chuan, what do you intend to do?"
Pangu asked curiously.
"Of course, I'm going to build the arena. You'll be its overseer. It's simple—just beat up any troublesome demon god."
Gu Chuan smiled.
"Oh? That does sound simple."
Pangu grinned, clenching his massive fists, his body brimming with explosive power.
"Well then, how should we construct the arena?"
Gu Chuan rubbed his chin in thought.
He activated the Chaos Eight Trigrams Technique, and in the depths of his sea of consciousness, countless design patterns and construction methods emerged.
Boom!
Although only a second had passed in the outside world, within Gu Chuan's mind, tens of thousands of years of calculations unfolded in an instant. He devised numerous methods for constructing the arena.
"First, let's establish the foundation, build the walls, and construct various buildings."
With a grand wave of his hand, Gu Chuan took out Chaotic Loam from his body. Under his control, the material rapidly shifted into various forms.
In just a few breaths, the Chaotic Loam seemed to come alive, transforming into towering, majestic walls that encircled the area.
At the same time, under his guidance, a magnificent European-style colosseum took form before Pangu's eyes.
"This will be the arena, where powerful demon gods will battle. It must be sturdy enough to withstand their might."
Gu Chuan formed seals with both hands, channeling divine arts into the arena's structure, reinforcing it to ensure its eternal stability.
• Karma Barrier – Makes every wall of the arena extraordinarily durable, capable of rebounding attacks.
• Grand Metal Technique – Permanently strengthens all buildings, fusing them into a single, unbreakable metallic entity.
• Chaos Barrier – Infuses the laws of chaos into the arena, neutralizing all magical attacks.
With these enchantments in place, no matter how powerful a demon god might be, breaking through the arena's defenses would be impossible.
"We also need to prevent the arena from being utterly destroyed in battle. I'll add a time spell—Zero-Hour Reversal."
Gu Chuan unleashed another supernatural spell:
"Zero-Hour Reversal!"
This was a profound Time Dao spell. Any non-living structure affected by this spell would revert to its state from the previous day, regardless of how much damage it had sustained.
With this spell in place, the arena was completely safeguarded.
Even if it were somehow shattered, by the next morning, it would return to its original form.
However, this spell only worked on objects and could not be applied to living beings.
"Well, the arena must also be vast enough. After all, the avatars of the demon gods are massive. It wouldn't be practical to force them to always fight in their human forms. Looks like I'll need to add a Spatial Folding Technique to expand the arena's internal space."
Gu Chuan narrowed his eyes.
If the demon gods fought in their true forms, the arena would be far too small. Many of them were tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of kilometers in size, an overwhelming scale.
Demon gods like Gu Chuan and Pangu, on the other hand, were measured in light-years.
Thus, he engraved countless spatial runes into the arena, folding the space within.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each hand seal, layers of dimensional time-space emerged within the arena.
In an instant, the internal space expanded billions of times over, forming 129,600 overlapping dimensions, with each layer as vast as an entire world.
Now, the arena was vast enough for the fiercest of battles.
"Perfect."
After finishing his work, Gu Chuan nodded in satisfaction. Constructing this arena had not only been a practical exercise but had also deepened his understanding of supernatural art.
"Creation brings more wisdom than destruction."
"Fellow Daoist Gu Chuan, you are truly remarkable."
Pangu was filled with admiration. He had been dissatisfied with his defeat earlier, but after witnessing Gu Chuan's ability to create something so vast and intricate from nothing, his respect grew.
He knew he could never achieve such a feat. He was a warrior—a destroyer—but not a builder.
"It's just a simple trick."
Gu Chuan smiled lightly. "Now then, you'll be in charge of this arena from now on. You should give it a name."
"A name?"
Pangu pondered for a moment, then grinned.
"Let's call it The Giant Ax Arena."
He named it after the Chaos Magic Treasures he wielded.
