In the blink of an eye, the arena was whipped into a frenzy. Two top-tier experts were going head-to-head, and honestly, the original stage couldn’t handle their showdown anymore—they were both floating up in midair now.
From their perspective, the real battlefield wasn’t the arena—it was the heavens themselves.
Only those absolutely fearless reporters dared point their cameras at the action, but even those reinforced lenses were starting to crack under the sheer intensity pouring off the two guys.
Right now, it wasn’t just the whole stadium watching—not just the whole city—even all of Jiangnan had its eyes glued to them. Several livestream channels had already crashed from too many viewers.
Only Sophie Su’s channel was still holding strong. Sure, she and her crew were still raking in cash hand over fist, but none of them cared about that anymore. As Ryan Ling’s women, they were way more worried about their man’s safety right now.
On the field, just when it looked like Quentin Qin was being pushed back, his power suddenly shot up. Everyone’s eyes went wide—clearly, Quentin hadn’t been going all out before and had been holding back on purpose. But now? He was totally unleashed!
All the Earth-Tier power in his body erupted at once, and for a moment, his overwhelming aura absolutely crushed Ryan, like a giant towering over a little kid.
And that’s not even the craziest part—the real kicker was the Earth-Tier Void Realm’s connection with the land itself. Quentin’s power exploded so wildly that even the ground started to react. Flowers bloomed beneath him, a massive vine rose up, and then—bam!—it morphed into a dragon-palanquin throne. But wait, there’s more: a seven-colored crown appeared on Quentin’s head, and his whole body was suddenly draped in a multicolored dragon robe. The guy was basically radiating magical, auspicious vibes from every direction.
“Holy crap, is this that legendary Earth-Tier Void Realm aura? They say Earth-Tier Void Realms are connected to Mother Earth herself and can control everything on the land. This is my first time seeing it—honestly, I can’t believe it.”
“Seriously, same here! It’s wild. Profound-Tier Void Realm experts have some minor divine powers, but Earth-Tier Void Realm? That’s the real deal—great divine powers, totally one with the earth. That’s basically god-level! Quentin Qin is insane!”
“Earth-Tier Void Realm is impressive, sure, but it’s not the peak. The real top dog is Heaven-Tier Void Realm—those guys have powers you can’t even imagine. They can control literally everything in heaven and earth. Now that’s real magic!”
...
The crowd watched Quentin Qin unleash his crazy powers and couldn’t help gasping. This kind of display was straight-up godlike—no way a regular person could pull this off!
Meanwhile, on a distant high-rise, a few middle-aged men were giving each other a thumbs-up as they watched.
“Not bad, not bad! Yao Wu’s strength is on a whole new level now. He just broke into Earth-Tier, but he’s already mastered the earth-qi techniques. He’s almost caught up to me!”
“True that! Big Brother Qin really knows how to raise a kid. Earth-Tier Void Realm at twenty-five is rare enough, but with this kind of talent? I bet he’ll reach Earth-Tier Perfection in no time.”
“Exactly. With things going like this, Ryan Ling might be tough, but his aura’s fading. He’ll probably lose soon. As long as we get rid of this troublemaker today, our mission’s basically done. If anything goes wrong, all our lives—and our whole families—are on the line. We won’t be able to pay for that kind of screw-up!”
...
Hearing all the flattery around him, the leader just smiled, then turned to the last speaker and said, “Old Fang’s got it right. We’ve been working on this for ten years, and the payoff’s finally here. No way we let that brat ruin it. No matter what, you guys are right—Ryan Ling has to die today. Let Yao Wu finish him. With this achievement, he’ll naturally inherit the Qin family business in the future!”
“Boss Qin, if Yao Wu pulls this off today, forget just the Qin family—he’ll be the next Martial Alliance Leader of all Jinling! Am I right, or am I right?”
“Exactly! Couldn’t have said it better!”
“I’m all in—hands and feet up in agreement!”
“Hey, if Yao Wu becomes the Alliance Leader, he better look out for us Shen family folks! Haha!”
“You uncles are hyping him up too much. Let him be tested a bit more—no rush, he’s still young. Needs more experience!” The middle-aged man said that, but inside he was absolutely smug. His son was making him proud as hell.
And that middle-aged man? None other than Quentin Qin’s father, Justin Qin—one of Jinling City’s top experts, peak Earth-Tier Void Realm, the kind who could shake Jinling three times just by stomping his foot.
As he secretly chuckled to himself, it looked like Ryan Ling was totally getting dominated by Quentin Qin in the ring. And with Quentin dressed up like some emperor, all the rich heirs in Jinling—absolute masters of sucking up—immediately dropped to their knees and started chanting ‘Emperor Qin!’ Even Quentin himself felt like he’d ascended the throne, grinning like crazy and laughing out loud.
“Ryan Ling must die! Jiangdong must fall!”
“Ryan Ling must die! Jiangdong must fall!”
“Ryan Ling must die! Jiangdong must fall!”
...
Suddenly, someone in the Jinling stands started it, and before you knew it, the whole crowd was shouting along.
“Damn it, those bastards! There’s no way our boss is gonna lose!”
“Hell yeah, our boss is basically a god! No way he’s losing to that bastard Quentin Qin!”
“Jiangdong will never fall, never!”
On the other side, Gabriel Xue, Jason Lin, and the rest were clenching their fists and yelling, every single one of them fired up.
“Ryan Ling, I’m gonna finish you off right here in front of everyone! Void Realm force and earth-qi, fully combined—take this!” Quentin Qin shouted, and that giant vine instantly transformed into a sky-piercing spear, shooting straight at Ryan’s neck.

Everyone’s eyes went wide, and the whole referee team jumped to their feet. Some local Jinling refs were already waving their flags, itching to declare a home-team victory!
But just then, Ryan Ling pressed his palms together. Behind him, infinite wood-element immortal power started to surge out—green light points swept the field like Buddha-light. The vine that was about to stab him suddenly froze, then freaked out and prostrated itself on the ground, like Ryan was the real emperor here.
“What the—what’s happening?” On the other side, Quentin Qin’s eyes went wide in disbelief. It looked like Ryan could control the earth-qi too, and way stronger than Quentin could. Instantly, all the flowers and plants around Quentin started to wither, while Ryan’s side exploded with growth. In seconds, the whole arena was buried in blossoms and vines, and that was just the start—plants spread in every direction, and in just a few seconds, half of Jinling City was blooming, vines wrapping around high-rises, and the ground under Ryan turned into a full-on sacred fairyland.
“No way! No freaking way!” Even Justin Qin’s face went pale—he was peak Earth-Tier Void Realm, but even he couldn’t create a domain like this so fast.
The other middle-aged guys were totally stunned, too—couldn’t even get a word out!
“God! God! God!” On the Jiangdong stands, everyone was screaming, and even the out-of-province delegations were shouting too. Ryan Ling’s move had totally shattered the boundaries of martial arts.
“I don’t believe it—I don’t! There’s no way some Jiangdong mutt is stronger than me! I’ll kill you!” Quentin Qin lost it, whipped out a longsword, and slashed at Ryan with maxed-out Earth-Tier Void Realm power.
“Overreaching mantis! A mere Earth-Tier Void Realm is dog shit in my eyes!” Ryan didn’t hesitate—he threw a Foundation-Building Divine Fist, and Quentin’s sword was instantly crushed to scrap metal...
