At this moment, the scene was utter chaos—no one expected that even the Heaven‑Earth Sect’s top experts couldn’t handle Ryan Ling. The whole situation was now completely in Ryan’s hands, as if everyone was dancing in his palm. The sight was jaw‑dropping. Just as those guys tried to escape, Ryan suddenly made his move and sealed every single exit of the tournament arena, inside and out.
Now, no matter how the Heaven‑Earth Sect people struggled, they couldn’t get out. Even scarier—Ryan had planted something in the center of the arena. Suddenly, tons of bizarre vines burst out everywhere, each packed with a creepy pulling force, wrapping up every living thing. The so‑called Heaven‑Earth Sect experts were especially tangled up by huge vines, looking absolutely miserable. Everyone’s face lost all color, pale as death, like the vines had sucked the blood right out of them.
“Run! We have to get out of here—staying means certain death!” one of the Heaven‑Earth Sect’s top experts shouted, voice hoarse and desperate, totally losing his cool.
The other Heaven‑Earth Sect Saints around him knew exactly how bad things were. If they didn’t fight now, they’d die with no trace left behind. The bindings around them just kept getting tighter—if the vines locked them down completely, there’d be no way out.
“Fight your way out!” Instantly, everyone started yelling, pulling out all their tricks and throwing themselves at the exits. But right then, Ryan went full beast mode—he unleashed all his power, shaking the whole world. His Ancestor Immortal force hit its peak, combined with the War Tomb Saint’s techniques, blasting his strength to the max. Unless you were a peak Saint, he didn’t even care. In his hand, the Whitebone Sword was fully under his control; once he brought it out, his power multiplied several times over. No one could withstand that kind of scene.
“You think you can run? Not a single one of you Heaven‑Earth Sect clowns are leaving today!” Ryan had zero patience for Heaven‑Earth Sect, going all‑out and locking down everything with his own power. At the same time, all the Primeval Heavenwood vines went wild, sealing every possible escape route and—most importantly—madly draining Saint essence from the Heaven‑Earth Sect Saints.
Right now, these Saints had zero chance of escaping. Their Saint qi was getting ruthlessly stripped away, and even when they tried to join forces, it was useless—the power locking them in was just too strong. Every direction was blocked off, the whole scene was savage beyond belief!
At this point, the Heaven‑Earth Sect experts realized doomsday had arrived. None of them expected Ryan’s power to be this insane—he’d locked down everything and was sucking their strength away at lightning speed. Once those vines grabbed them, escape was impossible, and their power was totally useless. The pain was off the charts!
What really broke them, though, was that not only was their essence drained dry, but their Saint qi inside and out vanished without a trace. That scene was total mental collapse!
And now, even the surrounding powerhouses were totally stunned. If the Four Heavenly Kings couldn’t handle Ryan, fine—but now there were ten top Heaven‑Earth Sect experts, all crazy strong, and together they could shake the heavens. Yet facing Ryan, they were helpless, and the space around them was completely locked down. His skills were way beyond your average Saint!
“There’s actually an Ancestor Immortal this strong in the world? Unreal!” The spectators around the arena were all fired up—none of them ever thought the King of a Hundred Cities Tournament would have a dark horse like Ryan. His power was off the charts, almost surpassing even the legendary ancient Ancestor Immortals!
Nothing inside or outside the arena could shake this outcome—the ending felt totally set. The Heaven‑Earth Sect folks were always proud, but now their arrogance was shattered. As long as Ryan wanted to make a move, these ten Saint Immortals could be wiped out in an instant. Everything would be slaughtered, no mercy.
“Die!” Ryan didn’t hesitate for a second. He knew perfectly well—if he wiped out these Heaven‑Earth Sect Saints, the champion’s throne for the King of a Hundred Cities Tournament was his. All those juicy rewards would be his too, and if he could grab the Saints’ essence plus that leg, his strength could冲击 the Saint Immortal Realm. If he really reached that level, his survival odds in Shenzhen would shoot way up. Even if Heaven‑Earth Sect’s top dogs showed up, he wouldn’t be afraid. After all, he was officially Elysium Sect now, and there’s no way they’d let a powerhouse like him die easily—they’d back him to the end!
So Ryan had to go all‑in—wipe them out clean, and only then could he truly stand firm in the Immortal World!
Right now, two of Heaven‑Earth Sect’s top experts were already in Ryan’s grip. These guys used to be the definition of arrogance, but now it was all gone—just panic and fear left. Looking at Ryan’s face, they were shaking so hard it was disgusting.
“You brat, what the hell are you trying to do? You dare kill Heaven‑Earth Sect people? If you touch us, you’ll face a backlash like never before—I’m telling you, let us go…” The two Heaven‑Earth Sect experts started yelling, obviously not wanting to die in Ryan’s hands.
But Ryan wasn’t giving them any chances. He lunged and grabbed both their skulls, and a surge of power started draining them. Instantly, torrents of Saint Immortal essence poured out and flooded into Ryan’s body. His whole body felt insanely full, his lost stamina refilled in a flash, and he looked absolutely blissed out.
The other eight Heaven‑Earth Sect experts turned ghostly pale—two were so scared they didn’t even dare move, terrified Ryan would be next to snatch them. Just then, a shocking force blasted toward them, targeting their heads. The impact made them feel utterly hopeless, like their lives were about to end right there. With the power from those two Saints, Ryan was even stronger, like a whole new person. The Saint Immortal force inside him was on full display.
The feeling was pure ecstasy. Ryan’s gaze swept over the eight remaining Saints—if he could absorb all of them, he figured he could冲击 Ancestor Immortal great‑perfection. If he reached that stage, his power would be unstoppable, no doubt about it!
“Band together! We have to stop him!” one of the Heaven‑Earth Sect’s top experts screamed, not hesitating at all. For the whole Heaven‑Earth Sect crew, if they didn’t unite and work together, solo efforts were useless—they’d just get slaughtered one by one. But if they joined forces, maybe they’d have a shot at escaping this death trap!
In a flash, all the Heaven‑Earth Sect experts gathered together, focusing their power into one spot. This crazy force blasted straight at Ryan—they were finally going on the offensive. Only by doing this could they hope to break out of this locked ‘prison’ and escape for good!
Ryan honestly didn’t expect this outcome. To him, these Heaven‑Earth Sect people were just fish in a barrel, no chance of surviving. But for them to show this kind of guts proved they weren’t your average experts—their power and grit were something else.
But Ryan wasn’t rattled at all. He didn’t hesitate—he whipped out the Whitebone Sword, which he’d been refining to insane power. Every inch of it was packed with strength, and when he fused all his force together, it was world‑shaking!
“Kill! Kill! Kill!” Facing the charge from the eight Saints, Ryan swung the Whitebone Sword straight at them. His power combined with the sword’s force, and instantly all the surrounding qi was drawn in. The energy condensed in a heartbeat—heaven and earth shook, time itself seemed to dim!
The force those eight Saints had built up shattered instantly—gone without a trace. Their bodies exploded in a flash, nothing left but eight raging streams of Saint Immortal qi!
Everyone around was totally stunned, eyes wide. Nobody expected Ryan to go this hard—his attack was just unreal. And just like that, it was over. Ryan took a deep breath and sucked all eight streams of Saint qi into his body. The qi rampaged inside him, clearly not ready to submit, but Ryan’s own insane strength hammered it down. In a blink, the qi surrendered, sinking deep into Ryan’s body. He felt so overloaded he was about to burst—ten full streams of Saint Immortal power packed into him at once! His body was on the verge of blowing apart!
“冲击,冲击!” Ryan took a deep breath—now was the perfect moment to冲击 his realm. This breakthrough was absolutely on point!
Inside, his power started skyrocketing. He’d already hit peak Ancestor Immortal, but now he was burning the essence of ten full Saints—his strength shot up like a volcano erupting. The growth was just insane!
“冲击,冲击!” Ryan shouted again, voice tearing through the air. With this breakthrough, he was brushing up against Ancestor Immortal great‑perfection—the feeling was pure bliss!

All this happened in a blink. After all, these Heaven‑Earth Sect experts weren’t ordinary—they had endless power. Now, all that force was flooding into Ryan’s body. You could imagine how strong that was. Finally, with a huge explosion, Ryan冲击ed straight into Ancestor Immortal great‑perfection. For him, that realm was almost easy to grab!
But the Saint Immortal Realm was a whole different beast. Ryan knew better than anyone—冲击ing Saint Immortal would take an insane amount of power, enough to shake the heavens. Even burning up the strength of ten top Heaven‑Earth Sect experts wasn’t enough to really冲击 the Saint Immortal Realm!
“Whew!” Ryan took a deep breath. Honestly, being able to level up again through this battle,冲击ing Ancestor Immortal great‑perfection, he was plenty satisfied. He was now, without a doubt, the real champion of the King of a Hundred Cities Tournament. His eyes were full of pride as he looked up at the high platform.
His meaning was clear—he was the champion now, and he was ready to claim all the glory and rewards that came with it!
“King of a Hundred Cities! King of a Hundred Cities!” The crowd started shouting, and it was obvious—in their hearts, Ryan was now the true champion.
Ryan didn’t hesitate—he shot up to the high platform. The whole stage was packed with tournament guardians and Dragon City’s top experts. Ryan could feel some real monsters here—a bunch of them were Saint Immortals, and several were even peak Saints. He knew with his current power he could handle one peak Saint, but if more showed up, no way—unless he tapped into the power of that leg fragment!
“Excellent, excellent! I never thought we’d see a dark horse like you this year, snatching the King of a Hundred Cities Tournament championship. What a surprise! Enough talk—you’re the champion now, go up to the champion’s dais and accept the cheers of all. Plus, you’ll get some insanely rich rewards!” On the high platform, a red‑faced fat man called out. Ryan could sense this guy was crazy strong—he looked friendly, but was actually a peak Saint Immortal through and through!
Dragon City was packed with hidden monsters. Even though Ryan had crushed it in the King of a Hundred Cities Tournament, he was still super cautious—besides those peak Saints, Dragon City had one more top dog: Lord Dragon IV, whose strength was Immortal King level. Facing someone like that, Ryan could only bow his head. But for now, the result was set—he was the champion, period!
Ryan smiled and walked up to the high platform. For him, this honor was huge—he never imagined he’d win something this big. He could sense a powerful force behind the honor, coming from those rewards. If he could grab them, maybe he’d be able to冲击 Saint Immortal directly!
“Take your seat on the throne!” The red‑faced fat man called out, smiling wide. But Ryan felt something off about that smile—like there was a hidden knife behind it!
“Alright!” But Ryan didn’t hesitate at all. With so many people watching, he was sure nobody would dare threaten him. He steadied himself and walked toward the high platform, where a shining throne was waiting. No doubt, if he could sit on that throne, he’d win ultimate glory!
The temptation was huge for Ryan—he didn’t think twice and sat down right away!
But the moment he sat, everything changed. The atmosphere shifted, the scene blurred, and the smiling guardians suddenly showed twisted faces. What really freaked Ryan out—he couldn’t get up from the throne at all.
“Damn it, I’ve been set up!” Ryan slapped his thigh, realizing things were dire. He’d fallen into their trap—now he was locked down by the surrounding qi, totally sealed in. These guys had planned this all along, just waiting for Ryan to take the bait so they could finish him off right here!
What pissed him off even more—outside, billions of people saw a fake scene of Ryan happily accepting his prize, waving to the crowd. Obviously, Dragon City’s bastards were faking it all.
“Why would you do this? You shameless bastards!” Ryan shouted, furious beyond words. He never saw this coming—these Dragon City guys were disgusting!
“Kid, you’re just unlucky. If you’d only killed the Four Heavenly Kings, maybe we’d let you go. But you wiped out the whole Heaven‑Earth Sect, so now we have to take you out—otherwise, how could we answer to Heaven‑Earth Sect?” The red‑faced fat man shouted, clearly pissed.
“Yeah, I killed them—I went up against Heaven‑Earth Sect. But you can’t just kill me, I’m Elysium Sect now! If you mess with Elysium Sect, you’re dead meat!” Ryan yelled back, desperate. The situation was as bad as it gets. He had to rely on Elysium Sect’s power—outside, the defenses and seals Dragon City’s experts set up were crazy strong. Nobody could break through, not even the War Tomb Saint. He could only wait, frustrated.
“Elysium Sect? They’re finished. What could they possibly do? Face it, kid—you had to pick a fight with Heaven‑Earth Sect, so now we have to send you off!” The red‑faced fat man shouted, not hesitating at all. A wave of power blasted out, targeting Ryan’s vital points. All the other experts joined in—they were determined to wipe Ryan out. They knew Ryan was insanely strong and tough, so if they were going to go all‑out and use dirty tricks, they had to crush him completely!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Waves of power exploded, shaking the heavens. Ryan was hit with crazy pressure—his face went pale, his hands trembled, and his strength was on the verge of collapse. If the attack got any stronger, he’d be torn apart!
“My arm—where’s my arm?” Ryan knew better than anyone, he had no other way out. He had to find that arm—only by fusing with its power could he hope to escape…
