At this moment, Ryan Ling didn’t hesitate for a second. He let out the wildest roar of his life as a blinding light shot straight up from deep underground, instantly enveloping his entire body. Just a moment ago, Ryan was on the verge of collapse, but now everything changed—the glow wrapping him triggered a transformation. He wasn’t completely reborn, but all his tension and fear vanished without a trace.
"What the hell is that? Why is his power shooting up so fast? And how did his defenses suddenly mutate like that?" One of the top Saint Immortal elites blurted out, voice trembling with terror. None of them had expected Ryan to have another trump card up his sleeve—let alone one they couldn’t even figure out. But the surge in his strength was right there, plain as day.
"We absolutely can’t let him get any stronger—kill him, we have to kill him!" The Dragon City powerhouses all roared at once. Ryan was already pinned down, his advantages nearly wiped out, and these experts weren’t about to hesitate. With their strength and their grudge against Ryan, they were determined to wipe him out completely—no loose ends.
In an instant, all the surrounding experts pooled their power together—an absolutely devastating force, packed with who knows how many Saint Immortal elites’ strength. These weren’t average Saints, either; every one of them was top-tier, terrifyingly strong. Combined, their power could tear the sky apart, and nobody else could compare. Their joint strike slashed straight at Ryan Ling, and with his current realm, there was no way he could block it. Even if he broke through to Saint Immortal right now, he wouldn’t stand a chance.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The combined force compressed into a single strike, blasting toward Ryan Ling with earth-shattering fury. In a split second, he was about to be wiped out—inside and out, nothing left. These people knew exactly what was at stake. Outside, they were still faking a powerful illusion, but if they didn’t finish Ryan fast, the truth would break out and everything would blow up. So this time, they were going all in—no holding back.
But right at that critical moment, everything flipped again. Beams of light burst out around Ryan—front and back—hammering the battlefield with raw, unstoppable force. The world itself seemed to twist; it was like the sky got punched out of place. And behind the light, a giant footprint stomped out of thin air. One by one, the crowd was sent flying—almost nobody could withstand that insane power. Everyone was stunned, eyes wide with terror.
"What kind of power is this, seriously?" The top experts were losing it, totally unable to believe how strong this force was. All those peak Saint Immortals below got sent flying—only the absolute grand-perfection Saint Immortal elites could barely hold their ground!
"Holy crap, how is this guy so strong? And what the hell is up with that thing by his side—why is it so freaky?" The whole crowd was freaking out, and even Ryan himself was a little stunned. He hadn’t expected the leg’s power to be this monstrous—way beyond any other part of his body so far. He could sense there was even more hidden inside; if he could absorb it all, he could break into the Saint Immortal Realm in record time. Sure, it’d take a bit, but compared to the usual slog, it was insanely fast.
For Ryan, this was a massive opportunity. If he could suck in all these bastards and refine them, his power would skyrocket—not only reaching the Saint Immortal Realm, but at a seriously high quality too!
"You pack of scumbags, I swear I’ll chew you all to death—not a single one of you is getting out alive!" Ryan was boiling with rage. Compared to the Four Heavenly Kings or those Heaven‑Earth Sect freaks, the Dragon City bastards were even more disgusting and despicable. If he didn’t wipe them all out today, he’d never forgive himself.
