Right now, seeing Ryan Ling acting this outrageously, the immortal expert on the other side was getting more and more pissed off. Clearly, this was the biggest provocation he’d ever faced—there was no way he could swallow his pride now. He charged straight at Ryan, making it obvious he was ready to go all out in a fight to the death!
At that moment, the two of them lunged at each other, and the very top of Skycrest Peak erupted with a deafening boom. The whole sky-high mountain started shaking like crazy—the scene was so intense it made everyone watching freak out!
"You little punk, you want to beat me? No way in hell!" The immortal expert screamed like a maniac, his berserk power nearly swallowing Ryan whole. This kind of crushing, all-out assault could definitely break a person down.
But Ryan wasn’t fazed at all. Sure, he was 'only' a Heavenly Immortal, but after everything he’d gone through lately—especially with that mysterious Supreme from the Immortal World backing him—he felt like a whole new person. The power he was unleashing now was enough to scare anyone witless!
"If you want to wipe me out, it won’t be that easy!" Ryan’s mind was going absolutely wild right now. He knew better than anyone—since he’d already chosen this path, there was no turning back. All he could do was charge ahead!
In an instant, their powers crashed together again, sparks flying everywhere—like two planets smashing into Skycrest Peak!
But from start to finish, that immortal expert couldn’t shake Ryan at all. In fact, his own strength was starting to run out.
Just then, a sweet, enchanting laugh echoed from deep within Skycrest Peak. The sound was so lovely, like a celestial maiden giggling. Ryan froze for a second, and a thought popped into his head—maybe the real boss here was actually this woman who just laughed.
And right now, it seemed like his performance had caught her attention. Instantly, he felt even more fired up, like his whole body was overflowing with power!
Ryan knew perfectly well: if he could get that Supreme lady’s approval, he’d definitely earn the backing of a top-tier master. After all, Nine-Dragon Gate’s Drake Long probably broke through to Profound Immortal under her guidance!
"You think you deserve Lady Melody’s guidance? Dream on!" The immortal expert was absolutely livid—he clearly saw Ryan as a nobody, totally unworthy of any top-tier help. Plus, Ryan’s cocky attitude from the moment he showed up made him want to stomp Ryan flat!
The immortal expert instantly cranked his power up to max, blasting out a sky-high pillar of immortal light that swept straight toward Ryan. For a moment, it was like the heavens and earth were collapsing—giant rocks tumbled all around Ryan, almost burying him alive!
But Ryan wasn’t about to hold back either. Things had come this far—he only had one option left: fight to the death!
"Kill!" Ryan roared, unleashing his Heavenly Immortal power to the absolute max. At the same time, Primeval Heavenwood’s essence, energy, and spirit all flooded into him. Suddenly, he felt like his body was on fire—even in this freezing place, he was sweating buckets. That’s what a power overload looks like!
His surging power blasted straight at the immortal expert, and Ryan’s Supreme Heavenly Immortal aura reached a level that was totally off the charts. The immortal expert just couldn’t handle it—he was forced to stumble backward!
"Not bad!" That sweet, heavenly voice rang out again. Ryan heard it loud and clear—it was like music from the gods. He could vaguely sense that her strength was at least around Profound Immortal level, maybe even higher and more mysterious than Drake Long. Heck, her power didn’t even seem to come from this Immortal Domain—it felt like it was from an even greater Immortal World!
The moment her voice sounded, Primeval Heavenwood inside Ryan went absolutely nuts—like it just got hit with a shot of pure adrenaline!
"Trash, trash! You’re just a damn Heavenly Immortal and you dare treat me like this? Even Nine-Dragon Gate’s Sect Master Drake Long is polite to me, and you act like this? I’ll kill you!" The immortal expert screamed like a lunatic. Only now did Ryan realize why he’d felt so much hatred for this guy at first sight—turns out this bastard was tight with Drake Long, and probably helped him climb the mountain in the first place!
Right now, Ryan wasn’t about to overthink it—he blasted the immortal expert again with overwhelming power. Heaven and earth seemed to crack apart! The immortal expert, who’d barely managed to stay on his feet before, suddenly couldn’t take it anymore—his legs buckled and he dropped to his knees!
"Damn it, I’ll skin you alive..." The immortal expert had totally lost face—he screamed like he wanted to eat Ryan whole. But Ryan just charged forward and smacked him with a savage slap. The hit was unbelievably satisfying—the guy’s face instantly puffed up like a pig, and he flipped backwards a bunch of times, finally landing groin-first on a boulder. The rock didn’t hold back—it nailed him right in the jewels.
Suddenly, there was a loud crack—the guy’s family jewels exploded on impact!
"Aaaagh!" His agonized scream echoed across all of Skycrest Peak. Ryan felt insanely satisfied—he couldn’t beat Drake Long yet, but getting payback through this old punk was just way too much fun!
"Heehee!" That heavenly voice giggled again in Ryan’s ear. Clearly, he’d guessed right—the more wildly he unleashed his power, the more he won the top master’s favor. He could practically feel Lady Melody’s supreme might, and if he really got her help, his future breakthroughs would be off the charts!
But just as Ryan started moving forward, eager to unveil the mysterious fairy master, the eunuch immortal’s hateful voice roared out again: "You little punk, if you try to get close to Lady Melody, I’ll kill you!"
"Know your place!" Ryan gritted his teeth and charged forward, unleashing a tidal wave of power. This time, if he didn’t break the guy’s arms or legs, he wasn’t going to let it go!
With a thunderous boom, the rebound sent the eunuch immortal flying—his armor exploded, and he looked more like a ghost than a person!
"Remember this—just because I’m a Heavenly Immortal doesn’t mean I’m easy to bully. If you try anything again, I’ll kill you on the spot!" Ryan snarled, his killing intent practically exploding.
But just as he was about to sweep the field, and the eunuch immortal was in total meltdown, three new shadows suddenly appeared behind Ryan. Each one radiated power on par with the immortal he just wrecked!
Right away, the three new immortals roared in unison.
"You little punk, you’re not the only one who’s ever come to Skycrest Peak, but you’re definitely the most arrogant! If we don’t kill you today, nobody will take the Skycrest Four seriously ever again!"
"That’s right, this guy has to die! And I hear he’s got beef with Drake Long—he’s obviously here to beg Lady Melody for help. We can’t let him succeed!"
"Exactly! Kill him, we have to kill him! Brothers, let’s go—if we combine the power of the Skycrest Four, there’s no way he survives!"
...
Suddenly, three more guardians at the same level appeared, flipping the whole scene upside down. Ryan’s advantage vanished in a blink, and even the battered eunuch immortal was instantly revived by their support. Now Ryan was facing the combined assault of the full Skycrest Four—he was honestly a bit at a loss. With just his own power, taking on all four at once was seriously pushing it...
