Ryan Ling froze for a moment—seriously, what kind of timing was this for something like that? But looking at the two girls, they really did seem desperate, and not just in that way. Their thirst was from the brutal heat of the gourd’s flames, dehydrating them to the edge.
If Ryan didn’t get them some water fast, they’d probably die of thirst before he could even break out!
"Ryan, I’m so thirsty!"
"I’m dying of thirst, Ryan! Hurry, please!"
Both of them were saying it, faces flushed bright red, and neither had a scrap of clothing left to cover themselves.
"Damn it!" Ryan took a deep breath; even his own qi was starting to surge inside him. Sure, he’d broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage using Guihai One-Blade’s Life Core, and it wouldn’t last long, but it was still a real Nascent Soul breakthrough. The rush of Nascent Soul energy was making his whole body heat up, too.
Any time you level up a realm, all the energy inside you starts to expand and shift!
He didn’t hesitate for a second—he immediately pushed Sophia Long and Cindy Nang down. These two beauties had been into him for ages, and the instant they saw Ryan start stripping, they couldn’t help but cry out. Clearly, they’d been waiting for this forever!
For a while, the sounds inside the Primeval Heavenwood cocoon were wild—sweat and body fluids soaked all the outer root layers.
"I’m so happy!" the two girls shouted together, voices ringing with pure intensity. And as they cried out, Ryan’s Nascent Soul realm instantly rounded out and became complete.
The two unleashed their power at once, attacking from both sides. Instantly, the whole root sphere started spinning, and every bit of force that hit it was flung away like mud off a wheel.
Seeing this, Victor Hua and Zane Ouyang went pale. They were supposed to be Yan Capital’s top experts, and this time they’d attacked together for maximum insurance. But even so, they couldn’t shake the sphere at all!
Just then, a weird laugh echoed out from inside—like some demon from hell cackling. And that laugh was none other than Ryan!
No way—how did this kid get so strong? Victor felt his hair stand on end; he couldn’t help but shiver.
Zane Ouyang just stared, totally speechless.
Behind the two “true gods,” Adrian Lin and the Bright Envoys who’d barely survived were even more stunned. None of them expected Ryan to power up in a crisis like this—he hadn’t even gone all out before. The realization made cold sweat soak all three of them.
Victor, Zane—you thought you could wrap me up like a dumpling, but today I’m the one ending you! Ryan took a deep breath. He’d only crushed Guihai One-Blade’s Life Core to save people, but after dual-cultivating with Sophia Long and Cindy Nang, his power had shot up several times. Guihai had figured the boost would last about an hour, but now it was at least half a day.
With half a day, he could wipe out everyone present—and flip the whole north-south power balance early.
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the Nascent Soul power he’d been storing up blasted out in a wave. He’d been brewing this for ages, and now that he unleashed it, nothing could stand in its way—his targets: Zane Ouyang and Victor Hua.
They were closest to the root sphere—Ryan swept out his power, and both instantly threw up their defensive barriers. But those barriers were way too weak; the Nascent Soul force melted them to nothing in a flash!

What realm is this power?' Even Zane Ouyang, normally steady, shouted in shock. Both retreated instantly, blinking back dozens of miles. The area hit by the Nascent Soul force was turned completely upside down—a trench dozens of meters deep carved into the ground, the air exploding everywhere, and the strangest part: space itself was twisted for miles around!
Victor and Zane went green—the moment that power erupted, not only did their jade gourd explode, but even Adrian Lin and the others who’d escaped were turned to bloody paste.
Anywhere that power touched, everyone was reduced to ashes.
Back to Yan Capital, now—this guy’s a monster!' Victor didn’t dare stick around; even as a sixth-tier God-Realm master, his legs were numb and his strength drained by the force. No way he was staying.
Zane Ouyang was a bit stronger, but even he was struggling to breathe—the monstrous power had them both completely suppressed.
Trying to run? Get back here, all of you! Ryan didn’t hesitate; with his Nascent Soul power, even he was trembling. If he didn’t take out these two bastards now, it’d be a waste—he’d be letting Guihai One-Blade down!
With a roar, Ryan unleashed even more Nascent Soul force—it morphed into two giant black hands, grabbing Victor and Zane at lightning speed. No matter how fast they ran, they couldn’t dodge it!
Impossible! I’m the number one in China—I can’t be caught like this! Let me go!
Let me go! The Bright Society rules China—if you dare catch me, you’ll be torn to pieces!
Victor and Zane screamed—clearly, it was the first time outsiders had ever caught them!
All around, countless eyes were watching—nobody could believe Ryan would suddenly counterattack and grab these two top gods in a flash.
In that moment, all of North River was shaken.
Today, I’m not just catching you—I’m going to butcher you in front of all of China!' Ryan didn’t hesitate; he struck at once…
