"Boss, this guy has sealed off all the exits—we can't get out!" Bat King shouted, his voice trembling.
"You're a God Realm expert now, damn it! What are you panicking for? Get a grip!" Dragon King cursed right back, while Lion King clenched his fists and yelled.
"Charge! We're all God Realm, right? If we don't fight our way out, I refuse to believe we can't escape!" Lion King finished, then lunged at a spot in the barrier. His mighty God Realm aura instantly turned into a deafening lion's roar, shaking the whole world. But to his shock, not only did the roar do nothing, he was sent flying by a massive rebound force, his chest rattled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"How the hell is this guy so strong?" Dragon King was dumbfounded.
Just now, Ryan Ling was a thousand li away, and with one burst of qi he chopped and blasted Eagle King. Now it's even crazier—the rebound force of the seal actually made Lion King cough blood. It's like he's literally becoming a god.
"I told you, none of you four bastards are leaving today. You're all dead. If you don't die, there's no justice left in the world!" Ryan Ling roared, his figure now hovering above the Jinling Military Region. As he spoke, his whole body shone—not because he was powering up, but because his strength had hit the peak of Golden Core Stage. His Golden Core was overflowing, and he couldn't help but radiate light.
This power was just insane. All the people around—Ryan Ling's friends and brothers—started cheering. Seeing Ryan Ling reach this level, they were genuinely happy for him.
But no one was prouder than Guihai One-Blade. Ryan Ling was basically his half-apprentice—from the first three moves of the Infernal Madblade Style all the way to the full inheritance, Ryan Ling had mastered everything perfectly. For the first time in years, someone had completely inherited Guihai One-Blade's legacy.
And right now, only Guihai One-Blade truly understood just how high Ryan Ling's power had climbed.
Glazed Golden Core Stage—the supreme realm of Golden Core. Even Guihai One-Blade himself had never reached such perfection. Sure, his raw power was higher, but a flawless Golden Core like this was almost unheard of. Ryan Ling's Foundation-Building and Golden Core stages had laid the strongest groundwork possible. If he ever breaks through to Nascent Soul, he'll be so OP it's scary.
"I refuse to believe you're actually invincible! Break, break, break!" Right then, Dragon King made his move. He wasn't your average God Realm—his power was absolutely top-tier, and among the Four Dharma Kings, his strength was said to be unfathomable. Now he'd reached second-tier God Realm.
With a wild roar, he smashed his fist into the barrier. The punch let out a dragon's roar, and then light exploded everywhere, instantly forming a golden dragon that shot forward with a howl.
Boom—a deafening crash rang out, and it looked like Ryan Ling's barrier was shattered by that Dragon Fist. The whole Jinling region trembled, and if that Dragon Fist had hit Jinling directly, it would've been like a nuke going off.
"Insane! Second-tier God Realm, a true pillar of the nation—the strongest of the Four Dharma Kings, Dragon King is just too savage. With power like his, if he went to Japan, he could probably one-shot the Great Shō War-God. China really is a five-thousand-year-old powerhouse, packed with experts. These days, only Russia and the U.S. can even compare—the rest don't stand a chance!"
"No doubt, this guy's not some run-of-the-mill master. Dragon King is top-tier even in Beijing, and probably top ten in all of China. Think about it: China has one-fifth of the world's population. Top ten out of over a billion? That's scary strong. Sure, Ryan Ling looks godlike now, but he's only nineteen, and just survived a nuke—there's gotta be some side effects. In this state, maybe he can't keep Dragon King trapped, and honestly, if Dragon King goes all out, Ryan Ling might not be his match!"
"Yeah, I'm worried too. Even if Ryan Ling pulled off a miracle comeback after that nuke, there's no way he came out totally unscathed. I bet he's just toughing it out—Jinling's in trouble, so he rushed back without hesitation, but for all we know, he's still injured!"
...
Right now, seeing Dragon King smash Ryan Ling's barrier with one punch, all the experts gathered nearby started freaking out. Clearly, only Ryan Ling could fight now—and he wasn't just up against Dragon King, but the entire World Dominion Society. The pressure was unreal!
At this point, the World Dominion Society had already taken control of the national machinery. No one knew just how strong this group really was, or if there were even scarier experts at the top. Ryan Ling might be able to wipe out Japan, but actually ruling China? That's still a huge challenge!
"Ryan Ling, Ryan Ling... I thought you were some kind of monster, but maybe I overrated you!" Dragon King heard the crowd talking and couldn't help feeling smug. Ryan Ling's sudden appearance and those crazy moves blasting Eagle King and Lion King had rattled him, but now that he'd smashed Ryan Ling's barrier, his Four Dharma Kings alpha swag was back. Suddenly, he was itching for an all-out showdown with Ryan Ling!
At this point, since they'd already attacked the Jinling Military Region and blown their cover, they might as well go all in. In this world, 'conscience' never stands a chance against raw power—strength is everything, as long as you've got the skills and killing power.
Even if it's pitch black, you can still whitewash it in the end!
"Heh." Hearing such clueless trash talk, Ryan Ling just rolled his eyes and sneered—no other reaction at all.
(This chapter isn't finished yet~.~ Click next page to keep reading the good stuff!)
Right now, if you measured his power by the martial arts God Realm system, he'd be at least fourth-tier God Realm!
Second-tier God Realm? That's trash to him.
He didn't even bother to take them seriously. With fourth-tier God Realm power, even the top boss of the World Dominion Society would have to tread carefully.
"Idiot!" On the other side, Guihai One-Blade sneered too. He knew exactly how OP the Glazed Golden Core was—Dragon King was just asking for a beatdown!
"Dragon Fist—kill!" Dragon King took a deep breath, and that overwhelming dragon power exploded again. The golden dragon reappeared in the sky, sweeping straight toward Ryan Ling.
"You really don't want to live, huh? Break!" Ryan Ling didn't hesitate for a second—he dove down, twisted his body, and the golden dragon projection instantly blew apart.
"Kill kill kill!" Seeing Ryan Ling charge in, Dragon King freaked out and started wildly punching the air—seven or eight punches in a row, each one spawning a golden dragon. In an instant, seven or eight golden dragons wrapped around Ryan Ling.
"Whew!" Watching his barrage finally seem to work, Dragon King let out a relieved breath.
But just as he started to relax, Ryan Ling snorted coldly and shouted, "A bunch of stinky mudfish think they can hold me? Keep dreaming!"
As Ryan Ling's words landed, all the golden dragon projections exploded!
"So strong, way too strong—this is nuts! Dragon King isn't even close to Ryan Ling's level. How strong is this guy, seriously? Even an idiot can see it now: Ryan Ling's power totally crushes Dragon King, and Dragon King's supposed second-tier God Realm is just getting steamrolled!
Dragon King finally snapped out of it and tried to bolt, stomping hard on the ground to escape!
"Trying to run? Not happening—all four of you die today!" Ryan Ling didn't hesitate. With one deadly glare, the half-dead Eagle King exploded on the spot, and the rebounding Lion King's limbs blew off, turning him into a human meat puppet.
Bat King saw this and collapsed in terror, paralyzed on the ground.
Right now, Ryan Ling was so ridiculously strong it was like he could kill all four of them with just a look...
