At this moment, it wasn’t just Ryan Ling—everyone else saw that bizarre and terrifying power too. Countless eyes went wide, filled with utter disbelief. The words “Golden Immortal” were pure legend, a mythic figure that absolutely shouldn’t exist in the Immortal Domain World. Even the tiniest hint of that aura was mind-blowing!
Just then, Sect Master Drake Long’s voice rang out again—his earlier screams of despair were gone, replaced by wild excitement.
"Son, you—you’re incredible! You actually managed to use Harlan Yanro’s channel to contact the supreme Golden Immortal from the Immortal World!"
"That’s right! Not only did I make contact, I’ve already received his inheritance. Now, let’s see who dares touch you!"
......
As their conversation played out, a death-god-like gaze instantly locked onto Ryan Ling. He felt that power was insanely terrifying—the strongest force he’d ever encountered. No way was this from the Immortal Domain World. It was straight from the top tier of the Immortal World!
The crowd finally snapped out of it after hearing those words—one by one, people started shouting, convinced today’s plot twist was just too wild!
"That young guy is Drake Long’s son, Drake Flyon! I heard this kid could talk to immortals in the sky since he was little, so everyone calls him the Son of God. Who’d have thought he’d show up right at the clutch moment? When Ryan Ling was smashing up Nine-Dragon Gate, I kept wondering where Drake Flyon was hiding—turns out he pops up now and totally flips the script. Looks like he’s actually turning things around..."
With Drake Flyon’s sudden entrance, voices erupted all around—what looked like a guaranteed defeat now had a whole new twist!
"Ryan Ling, things just changed! That guy’s aura is crazy strong—seriously freaky stuff. Get back to Skycrest Peak, or you’re in deep trouble!" Melody’s voice sounded again at Ryan’s side, way more tense than usual. Even she seemed rattled by the current situation!
“Quick, run while you still can!” Melody shouted again, her urgency crystal clear!
All around Nine-Dragon Gate, the honored guests and spectators were utterly gobsmacked—the reversal was so fast, nobody expected Drake Flyon to step in and flip everything at the last second!
Ryan Ling didn’t hesitate—he had no choice but to run. Drake Flyon’s own strength might not be overwhelming, but the force backing him was absolutely top-tier. Ryan felt like a pair of eyes in the sky was locked onto him; even with all the Immortal Domain World’s power, he couldn’t resist. The opponent’s strength was beyond extreme, maybe even above Golden Immortal. Even a trace of that aura made Ryan wish he were dead!
“Son, don’t let that brat get away—catch him and flay him alive!” Drake Long shouted, his earlier despair flipping to wild excitement, like he’d just come back to life.
“Don’t worry, Dad! I’ll kill him today—as long as he’s in the Immortal Domain World, he’ll never escape my grasp!” Drake Flyon yelled arrogantly, acting like the whole world was under his control.
Just as his words landed, Ryan felt like countless hands were grabbing him from all sides—the space itself started freezing, everything around him teetering on the edge of destruction!
“Ryan, get back here! Hurry!” Melody screamed, her whole body surging out to intercept him. But Ryan could feel—even with Melody charging in, her power couldn’t directly block the pressure from that Immortal-World powerhouse!
This was seriously bad news!
Even though that crushing force couldn’t target others, for Ryan himself it was absolutely lethal!
“Ryan Ling, prepare to die!” Drake Flyon roared, his power nearly locking Ryan down completely. Waves of killing intent slammed into Ryan’s head—he couldn’t move at all, it felt like his heart was about to be ripped out. The pain was off the charts!
If this kept up, Ryan was 100% dead meat!
Right then, every bit of defense on him shattered—Primeval Heavenwood’s aura cracked, even the Wish-Fulfilling Staff started to bend. He’d never been in a crisis like this. Even the Immortal-World expert he’d once contacted through Heavenwood was silent, like even they didn’t dare mess with this power!
But just then, a delicate figure suddenly darted out—she blocked Ryan’s back and yanked him away in a flash.
“Melody!” Ryan blurted out, stunned. The person in front of him was none other than Lady Melody from Skycrest Peak, a Profound Immortal expert even stronger than Drake Long!
“Go!” Melody shouted, dragging Ryan along. Even with her help, things hadn’t flipped—they were still in the danger zone…
They dashed toward Skycrest Peak, the pressure behind them like a tidal wave about to crash down.
Ryan glanced back—Drake Flyon’s eyes burned with a weird, godlike light, and the Golden Immortal aura twisted the sky.
Melody’s face was grim. “Ryan, whatever you do, don’t look back. Just keep running!”
Ryan gritted his teeth and focused—all his power poured into speed, every cell screaming for escape.
The world blurred past as they shot toward the mountain, the threat behind them growing heavier with every heartbeat.
Just as they neared Skycrest Peak, a terrifying roar echoed from Nine-Dragon Gate—Drake Flyon wasn’t giving up.
Golden Immortal aura surged again, slamming into the mountain’s barrier. Melody threw up a shield—energy crackled around them, barely holding back the crushing force.
Ryan felt his heart pound—if Melody’s shield broke, they’d be toast.
Melody yelled, “Hold on! We’re almost there—just a little more!”
With a final burst, they crashed through the barrier—safe, for now, but with the Golden Immortal threat looming over Skycrest Peak.
