"Kid, things have gotten this far and you still dare to break through right under my nose? You seriously don't give a damn about me, huh? Fine, let me show you what real Primordial Immortal power looks like!" The Barbarian City Ancestor gave a cold laugh. He'd already attacked earlier, but that was nowhere near his full force. Now, clearly fed up, he sucked in a massive breath, his whole body instantly swelling up like some dude practicing toad-style kung fu. In a flash, he vacuumed up all the heaven-and-earth qi in Barbarian City.
The surrounding experts immediately scrambled back—some even hugged their heads in panic. No question, the power the Barbarian City Ancestor was unleashing this time was absolutely monstrous. Even just catching a bit of the shockwave could be fatal.
Meanwhile, Lily and all the Kwan Family girls close to Ryan Ling were freaking out to the max. Right now, everyone thought Ryan was basically playing with fire.
Everyone knew just how OP Primordial Immortals were. If he really went full throttle, he could wipe out the whole city. At this point, people’s scalps were tingling—nobody dared imagine what would happen next!
Then, with a deafening boom, an absolutely unprecedented force blasted straight at Ryan Ling!
In an instant, everything within a hundred li around Ryan was wiped off the map—almost half of Barbarian City got flattened. Inside the city, people and beasts alike were dying in droves!
The surrounding powerhouses felt a chill in their hearts. The Barbarian City Ancestor was supposed to be the city’s protector, but right now he didn’t give a crap about the lives of ordinary folks—he’d kill whoever he wanted. And from this, it was obvious: when the city’s experts attacked the Kwan Family before, it was totally on his orders. Otherwise, nobody would’ve dared go that far.
"Master!" Lily’s eyes were brimming with tears—she was worried sick about Ryan Ling!
Right then, cracks started spidering across Ryan Ling’s body, like his flesh was about to be totally destroyed and all his cultivation wiped out. But just as his charred shell exploded, a fierce golden body suddenly erupted from the ruins. This new form was on a whole different level—godlike, mysterious, impossible to see through. The aura around him was pure, raw power!
"What the hell is that? Did he really manage to break through, even under that insane attack?"
"He did it! He totally did it—no way anyone but a Da Luo Golden Immortal could put out that kind of light."
"Holy crap, this guy is basically a god! He just tanked the most insane bombardment and still pulled it off. His potential is off the charts—can you feel how his Golden Immortal qi is overflowing? It’s like his aura covers thousands of miles. I swear, he’s making miracles happen right now!"
...
As Ryan Ling burst out from his own broken body, the surrounding experts were overjoyed and totally stunned—they couldn’t believe their eyes. Even the Barbarian City Ancestor was staring wide-eyed, his face looking seriously grim. He knew full well Ryan had leveled up to Da Luo Golden Immortal, but Ryan’s realm was easily ten thousand times, maybe even a billion times stronger than a regular Da Luo. This was a once-in-ten-thousand-years breakthrough, and his Da Luo aura was completely suppressing the Ancestor’s Primordial Immortal power.
The Barbarian City Ancestor used to have the whole city’s aura locked down, but now everything had flipped—his control was totally wrecked. In a split second, Ryan Ling had seized the reins and was running the show in Barbarian City!
"No way, this is impossible—who the hell are you, kid? I’ve never seen anyone with this kind of potential in the Immortal World!" The Barbarian City Ancestor’s eyes bulged as he shouted, unable to hold back his disbelief.
Ryan Ling just grinned, "Of course you haven’t—so today, I’ll let you see for yourself!" He’d already broken through to Da Luo Golden Immortal in that last instant, and now all the power in his right hand, plus every Da Luo and half-step Primordial Immortal he’d devoured, was fused inside him.
And the moment Ryan finished speaking, he shot toward the Barbarian City Ancestor like a cannonball. This hit was even stronger than his last one—there was a massive boom, and the Ancestor, who’d just been acting all high and mighty, got sent flying. His Primordial Immortal power exploded, and all his defenses shattered in a single blow!
"Oh my god!" All the experts around Barbarian City were left speechless. Everyone knew Barbarian City was bottom-tier in the Immortal World, nothing special at all. But now, seeing a Da Luo Golden Immortal this strong show up here was enough to make everyone’s jaws drop.
Meanwhile, Lily and the whole Kwan Family crew popped up from underground. The entire Kwan Family was beside themselves with excitement—especially the old matriarch, who was so pumped she was shaking all over. She knew better than anyone that the reason the Kwan Family fell so hard from top house to rock bottom was all thanks to the Barbarian City Ancestor. That’s why she’d never dared dream of revenge; with their old strength, going up against him was like an egg smashing into a stone—total suicide!
Now, with Ryan Ling’s help, the Kwan Family finally saw hope—no wonder their hearts were pounding with excitement!
"Kill him! Take out that arrogant, fame-chasing old bastard—he’s the real scourge of Barbarian City!" Liana Kwan shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice booming like thunder.
"You want to kill me? Not so easy!" The Barbarian City Ancestor realized things were turning against him. He was clearly worried, but in the blink of an eye, his power erupted—Primordial Immortal energy boiled around him, instantly condensing into countless razor-sharp swords, each one packed with terrifying mixed-element qi. He was clearly going all out, and the force was even more insane than before!
"This old guy’s going all in! Those swords aren’t normal—they’re insanely strong. If they go off, it’ll be total chaos—everyone, fall back!" The Primordial Immortal experts nearby shouted warnings. When a Primordial Immortal goes berserk, it’s seriously terrifying. With that, tons of people started retreating, totally panicked!
But Ryan Ling wasn’t fazed at all. If he hadn’t broken through to Da Luo Golden Immortal, this kind of power would’ve been fatal. But now? Everything was different—he’d reached the realm he wanted. One step to the top, totally unbeatable!
"Come on, let’s see just how strong your so-called ultimate Primordial Immortal power really is!" Ryan Ling smiled calmly, not rattled in the slightest. Wrapped in layers of Da Luo Golden Immortal protection, his aura was absolutely dominating!
"Heh, you cocky brat! You really think a Da Luo Golden Immortal can go head-to-head with my ultimate Primordial Immortal strike? You’re way too arrogant!" The Barbarian City Ancestor snorted coldly, and in an instant, his divine power exploded. Countless blades roared out, and the sky went dark—like he was chopping down the sun and moon themselves!
The scene was so wild, most people couldn’t even believe it—some of the more timid ones just squeezed their eyes shut!
But right at that critical moment, Ryan Ling’s voice suddenly rang out in midair, booming like thunder across the battlefield!
"Primordial Immortal power? Meh, pretty average. If you wanna beat me, maybe try again in your next life!" As soon as Ryan finished, all those swords that had been going berserk against him just quietly melted away!
"How is this even possible?" The Barbarian City Ancestor froze, totally unable to believe his eyes. But in that split second, Ryan Ling was already right in front of him...
