At this moment, those two powerful shouts instantly echoed across the arena, drawing every eye to Ryan Ling and Lynn Long. People stared in shock; clearly, the aura they unleashed had everyone mesmerized. With just one roar, they dominated the whole field. You could tell their strength was off the charts. Originally, there were over ten thousand contestants, each one cocky and convinced of their own power. But now, most of them were shrinking back, obviously realizing they couldn’t compare to Ryan and Lynn!
Honestly, just from those two shouts alone, out of ten thousand people, at least nine thousand nine hundred were already outclassed!
But with all the chaos in the arena, someone finally shouted, "Quiet! Everybody quiet down and listen to me..."
As that commanding voice rang out, everyone’s attention shifted again. The speaker was obviously some kind of referee for the Immortal Realm Grand Tournament—when someone like that talks on stage, you gotta show respect.
At least the weaker contestants had to show respect, or they’d get booted off the stage on the spot. But those who’d reached the Heaven-Earth Eternal Realm? That was a whole different story. Their power was already on par with heaven and earth itself—no way would they be scared of what the referee said.
As for Ryan and his crew, they weren’t nervous at all. To them, this whole tournament was just a game. Ryan had already scoped out the strongest opponents—the real top dogs here were the peak Heaven-Earth Eternal cultivators. In this tournament, those guys were the elite of the elite. But for Ryan, as long as you weren’t Immortal Lord level, all those so-called experts were basically zero threat!
Still, Ryan could already feel several intense gazes locked onto him—close, but not too close; far, but not too far. Clearly, those people were both wary of him and a little rattled!
But Ryan didn’t care. He started searching inside himself, trying to sense exactly where that missing body part was. With Lily’s guidance and his own perception, he was sure it was somewhere in Earth City—but the exact spot? Still a mystery. Earth City was huge; trying to find it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Basically impossible.
Ryan originally thought it’d be near the arena, but after searching back and forth for ages, he still came up empty-handed. No luck at all. Even Lily was helping him look, but she didn’t find anything either!
Ryan felt a bit disappointed. Sure, his strength and reputation had skyrocketed lately, but if he couldn’t recover that missing part of his body, it’d always feel like something was missing.
Guess it all comes down to fate!
Ryan couldn’t do much about it right now. Honestly, he couldn’t be too greedy—after all, thanks to his insane luck, he’d already blasted his way to late Heaven-Earth Eternal Realm, which was a massive achievement. Plus, he had a powerhouse Immortal Lord backing him up. With all those gains, he really ought to be satisfied!
While he was lost in thought, the wildest, most intense tournament in the Immortal World finally kicked off!
Crowds of contestants rushed the stage like maniacs. The rules were simple: two people fight, winner stays, and the champ keeps facing new challengers. It was a tug-of-war—basically a mad hunt for trouble among top dogs. If you didn’t like someone’s face, you could go beat them up, but you had to win or risk getting wrecked in seconds!
Of course, Ryan wasn’t interested in these early rounds. Honestly, neither were Lynn or Lily—both of them were Immortal King great-perfection, and with that kind of power, there was no way they’d bother fighting anyone weaker. That’s just common sense!
The real kicker was that Lily had already wiped out Lord Dragon IV with just a look—literally vaporized him. With that kind of shock factor, nobody dared challenge them. Plus, everyone knew Elysium Sect was about to clash with Heaven-Earth Sect; those were the real contenders, and everyone else was just filler.
The battlefield was already a total bloodbath—at least a thousand people were down, the casualties so shocking it left everyone speechless.
This so-called “cruelest tournament in the Immortal World” was living up to its name. Fear, panic, and smugness were everywhere—a true parade of humanity that made your heart race.
Of course, there were a bunch of people just sitting out the madness, same as Ryan—they didn’t even bother looking at the current fighters. To them, those guys were way too weak, total pushovers.
But the weaklings got wiped out fast; soon, only the real heavyweights were left fighting on stage, and the power levels just kept climbing—almost everyone was Immortal King peak or above!
