At the center of the Atlantic relic, a vast plaza is paved with transparent crystal-diamond tiles, its bottom unfathomable. Around it, ten-meter-high black-crystal walls ring the area, rendering a profound silence—a standoff between humanity's Law Realm and the Netherfiends and giant Demons, as if two courts confronting each other.
But in the next instant—
Three fish-type giant Demons, previously shrunken and hidden behind the walls, reveal their true forms.
Their octopus-like bodies stretch three to four hundred meters, with tentacles over two hundred meters long, sweeping out together to cover half the wall and block the Law Realm guardians’ retreat.
“Courting death!”
“Do you really think we fear you?”
Leon Yu, on the verge of advancing to Venerable Saint, erupts in fury on the spot.
The other Law Realm guardians radiate killing intent as well, making no effort to hide their anger. They rise from the ground and charge directly at the three octopus-type giant Demons.
They did not wish for a battle.
But that does not mean they fear battle!
“Hmph.”
“Every Sky-Soaring True Person here possesses formidable martial power. Unless a Netherfiend or giant Demon equivalent to a Venerable Saint appears, we will surely retreat intact.” Leon Yu’s gaze sharpens, his mind utterly clear.
Since they provoke, why not fight!
After all, within this relic, there are currently no Venerable Saints, nor any middle-class Netherfiends.
Swish—
Leon Yu bursts forth, his silhouette tracing a subtle arc in the air. As the strongest Sky-Soaring True Person present, he merely pushes into the void, unleashing purple Internal Origin like a sea crashing down, spanning several hundred meters with terrifying breadth.
Even the legendary River of Immortals could scarcely compare.
Law Realm martial arts have already transcended the limits of ordinary martial arts—this is a grandeur beyond human reach, capable of splitting the ocean itself.
Yet Leon Yu is met only with mocking laughter.
“Leon Yu of Sinovera, you vastly overestimate yourself!”
“Ridiculous! Your so-called Law-Realm arts haven’t even reached the Illuminated tier—what do they amount to?” The colossal tiger Demon, its forehead branded with a strange sigil, stepped into the air, charging toward the purple Internal Origin river. “Today, I’ll do more than break your technique—I’ll kill you and devour your flesh.”
Its savage aura surged higher and higher.
The tiger Demon, leading the charge, swelled to several hundred meters in the wind. Its front paws pressed together—each as massive as two or three buildings—smashed through the purple river with unstoppable force.
It didn’t take Law Realm seriously at all.
Only Illuminated-tier techniques, which grasp the true mysteries of power, could threaten it. Witnessing this, Leon Yu’s pupils contracted. “Among tiger-type Demons, this savage tiger with a sigil on its forehead is truly formidable.”
He wasn’t afraid.
But he was unsettled, torn between shock and suspicion, and began to consider retreat.
“The savage tiger is indeed strong.”
“But it’s impossible for them to keep us here. So what are they really relying on?” Leon Yu’s expression grew grave as his purple Internal Origin surged forward in towering waves, striking the tiger Demon while barely holding back the other rampaging giant Demons.
Law-Realm Art—
Clear Void Countercurrent!
Above the transparent crystal-diamond ground, at the center of the black-crystal walls beside the mysterious tower, Leon Yu’s entire body ignited with purple radiance. An intangible storm gathered around him. He slowly rose into the air, borne aloft by boundless violet light.
In a flash, he appeared like a rising purple meteor.
“Kill!”
Leon Yu growled, and with a thunderous rumble, his purple Internal Origin churned the surrounding air currents—pushing aside even the thick gray mist bit by bit.
But inside the relic, the crystal-diamond ground was solid, the air density extremely high, and the thick gray fog blocked shockwaves and air currents. As a result, Law Realm battles here were far less earth-shaking than those outside.
Power was more restrained.
Its might was more concentrated.
“Hahaha! Who do you think you can kill?” The savage tiger Demon forced its way through the Internal Origin river, its massive claws slashing out phantom arcs that swept from end to end, aiming to tear Leon Yu apart.
Swish!
Even the air was torn apart, like shredded cotton.
The tiger’s claws were especially sharp, far surpassing any blade forged by modern technology. Leon Yu dared not meet them head-on, instead using Internal Origin pressure to block the phantom-like giant claws.
In an instant, the two clashed a hundred times, shaking the air all around them.
The ten-meter-high walls seemed tiny by comparison, and the surrounding gray mist quivered as if the entire plaza was warping. Only the towering giant tower beside them remained utterly unmoved, its curtain of light flickering as it bore witness to Leon Yu’s strength.
Rip! Rip!
The Internal Origin river was long and unbroken, but it could not stop the deep-sea giant Demons. In an instant, all sorts of monstrous Demons surged forth, joining the savage tiger in attacking Leon Yu.
“Kill!”
Leon Yu roared a second time.
He had once been Southvale’s Guardian, now on the verge of advancing to Venerable Saint. Now, with his power unleashed, he embodied the spirit of a lone hero holding off thousands, matching nine giant Demons head-to-head.
“Leon Yu!”
“The invincible Sky-Soaring True Person!”
Many Law Realm guardians nodded inwardly, simultaneously channeling their Internal Origin. The sky filled with color as some faced the giant Demons head-on, while others turned to blast the three octopus Demons, trying to carve out a retreat route.
They knew that, at this moment, humanity was at a disadvantage in both numbers and strength.
If the battle dragged on, even Leon Yu could not hold out forever.
But just then, a chilling, azure mist swept over the entire plaza.
It was cold, eerie, and instantly shrouded everything.
The air grew frigid, and a sense of foreboding swept through everyone.
A mysterious, chilling power was approaching.
Leon Yu’s pupils contracted once more.
He immediately retreated, pulling back his purple Internal Origin and putting some distance between himself and the giant Demons.
All the giant Demons, including the savage tiger, froze in place, their eyes wide with shock and fear.
Even the three octopus Demons, who had been blocking the retreat, recoiled in terror.
A chilling, azure mist enveloped the entire plaza, swallowing up the thick gray fog and even the Internal Origin river.
Everything was instantly engulfed in cold blue.
A sense of doom descended on the entire plaza.
Even Leon Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
