Right now, as Ryan Ling frantically sucked in all those nutrients, his body was undergoing a complete, earth-shaking transformation. All the accumulated energy was more than enough to push his strength to the next level. At the same time, the fragment of his past-life head inside him was going wild—the essence inside the head exploded into endless power, drilling straight into Ryan’s own skull. That head used to be a solid object, but now its form was totally shattered, turning into pure essence. And when you added in all the powerful essence from the Heaven-Earth Sect experts he’d devoured, everything fused together at once. Ryan’s whole body swelled to the absolute limit, so much it looked unreal—he seemed taller than the sky itself. The scene was so jaw-dropping, nobody could believe it.
"Break through, break through!" Ryan had zero hesitation now. His mind was locked on one thing: smashing through to the next realm. If he didn’t hit Immortal Lord, he’d never have real confidence in himself!
With things like this, every second counted for Ryan. He had to seize every moment. And the commotion from his breakthrough was insane—inside and out, the whole world was shaken. Even far-off Heaven City’s aura started changing, as if everything was being rewritten by Ryan’s breakthrough. Obviously, the nearest peak Immortal Lord felt the shock too.
That guy was furious and a little freaked out. He really couldn’t believe Ryan still had the juice to break through. In his eyes, Ryan should’ve been totally spent, on the verge of collapse. But in the blink of an eye, Ryan bounced back, full power. The surprises just kept coming—but in this situation, he had no choice but to attack.
"You actually think you can break through to Immortal Lord right under our noses? Dream on!" Not just the peak Immortal Lord—everyone around knew the score: when someone’s breaking through, that’s their weakest moment. Even a tiny attack could mess up the whole process!
In that split second, the peak Immortal Lord launched his fiercest attack ever at Ryan. It was absolutely brutal—he was practically burning his own Immortal Lord power, something nobody had ever seen before. All the bystanders stared wide-eyed; nobody could’ve predicted things would go this crazy, this fast.
At that critical moment, tons of people started praying to the heavens. In their eyes, Ryan was basically God’s avatar now—no one could reach his level. His power was totally berserk; his mind was blank except for one thought: break through at all costs. Even though the peak Immortal Lord was attacking, Ryan didn’t care at all—he was totally lost in the upgrade, and the whole scene was just unreal.
Everyone was sweating bullets for him, but Ryan didn’t budge an inch. Inside and out, he was like an unshakable anchor—a Sea-Calming Needle holding the line.
And right as the peak Immortal Lord went wild with his attack, a weird, almost supernatural force started helping Ryan on the side. He took the hit, but didn’t look half as battered as before. Normally, breaking through is the most vulnerable time for anyone, but for Ryan? That rule just didn’t apply.
"How is this even possible?! What are you, exactly? How can you have such insane defense while breaking through?" The peak Immortal Lord was practically in tears watching this. He’d thrown everything he had at Ryan, but still couldn’t stop him. It was like the whole Immortal World was backing Ryan up, helping him break through—totally beyond belief, and absolutely terrifying!
"You think you can still stop me from breaking through? Keep dreaming!" Ryan shouted, voice booming. He’d seized total control; no matter how strong the enemy was, today there was no way anyone could block his breakthrough. Ryan’s power had reached sky-shattering levels—there wasn’t a single person who could stand against him.
Right then, with a wild roar, Ryan’s power skyrocketed even faster. At this point, no measurement could track how much stronger he’d gotten—he was officially recognized by Heaven and Earth itself. Suddenly, a massive shockwave hit, and Ryan finally hit Immortal Lord perfectly. All the Immortal Lord essence in his body fused into his own strength. The pace was absolutely insane; everyone was stunned. Except for the peak Immortal Lord from Heaven-Earth Sect, everyone instantly dropped to their knees—Ryan looked like a god to them, unbeatable and unstoppable!
Seeing that, the so-called peak Immortal Lord was too scared to even speak. His whole body was shaking like crazy—he was closest to Ryan and could feel that terrifying power up close. This wasn’t just an Immortal Lord breakthrough; it felt like Ryan was jumping straight to Immortal Emperor!

He started backing away, unable to hold his ground in this scene. He knew deep down he was no match for Ryan. All he could do was retreat toward Heaven City.
But just as he tried to run, Ryan didn’t hesitate for a second—he struck! A surge of power exploded from his body, way beyond normal Immortal Lord level.
In that instant, the sky went dark all around. It was like Ryan sucked up every bit of energy from Heaven and Earth—even Heaven City itself was covered in dark clouds. But those weren’t real clouds; it was Ryan’s own aura. The whole city was left speechless. Nobody expected a freshly advanced Immortal Lord could blanket all of Heaven City with his qi. This was something the Immortal World hadn’t seen in tens of thousands of years.
Suddenly, Heaven City erupted. People everywhere started screaming in terror—nobody could handle the darkness swallowing the city. In a blink, it felt like Ryan had taken over the whole place!
"No way I’m letting you win! No way!" The peak Immortal Lord was on the verge of total collapse. He knew if he couldn’t stop Ryan, Heaven City was doomed. But even worse, if he failed, he’d face the biggest punishment ever. So now he had to fight, even if it meant dying.
But Ryan was totally unstoppable—the force he unleashed was off the charts, way beyond anything a regular Immortal Lord could reach. His power was simply unstoppable, and in this situation, Ryan wasn’t holding back for anyone.
But at that critical moment, the peak Immortal Lord suddenly unleashed a never-before-seen attack, burning up every last bit of his own life force. He knew this was his only shot—he had to go all out if he wanted any chance to resist.
But even pouring out all his power, the only thing waiting for him was a sad defeat. Ryan didn’t even move—he just released his Immortal Lord power and instantly locked the peak Immortal Lord in place. The guy was totally immobilized; it was almost laughable.
"With your power, you think you can take me on? Get real! What a joke!" Ryan sneered, unleashing another wave of raw force. The poor guy couldn’t move at all. Ryan devoured every drop of his blood and essence—this was a peak Immortal Lord, packed with insane hidden power. Ryan had just broken through, so his new realm wasn’t totally stable yet. If he could absorb all that strength, his Immortal Lord foundation would be rock-solid, and his power would skyrocket!
"No, no!" The peak Immortal Lord screamed like mad. He absolutely didn’t want to die here—he’d paid a huge price to reach this level, and dying by Ryan’s hand would erase it all.
But right now, he had no options left. He couldn’t even beg for mercy—Ryan just blasted him to dust in an instant. It was a total tragedy, beyond brutal.
The crowd was left speechless. Everyone was kneeling, staring at Ryan in awe. At this point, he didn’t look like a heavenly god—he looked like a devil straight out of hell. His vibe was absolutely terrifying.
But for Ryan, this wasn’t enough. He still needed to push further—even though he’d reached Immortal Lord, things weren’t over. His power was still fermenting inside him; if he didn’t use it all up, he wouldn’t fully level up.
And right now, this was a massive opportunity—inside and out, there were no obstacles left. Heaven City hadn’t sent any stronger experts. Ryan had to seize the moment and push his strength to the absolute limit if he wanted to handle the top dogs around here.
So Ryan didn’t hesitate—on top of reaching Immortal Lord, he started frantically refining all his inner power. His strength boiled and transformed, and in a flash, he felt like he’d been reborn. His power was exploding upward at a speed nobody had ever seen before.
In the blink of an eye, his power shot straight from early Immortal Lord to mid-stage. To the crowd, it was like watching a living cheat code—Ryan was way beyond normal now.
But mid-stage Immortal Lord was nowhere near the end—Ryan kept pushing. His power exploded again, thunderous booms erupting all around him like a barrage of lightning. The whole Immortal World seemed to tremble; everyone was floored by how much Ryan’s strength kept growing.

"Level up again!" Ryan shouted, not hesitating for a second. An even scarier realm appeared before him—his power blasted straight into late Immortal Lord!
His power was so insane, it felt like he could wipe out a whole city with a flick of his wrist. Even though he was only late Immortal Lord, to most people he’d already blown past that realm—he was basically at Immortal Emperor level. The scene was unbelievable, pure nightmare fuel.
"Break through, break through!" Ryan kept yelling, totally unwilling to settle for less. He was going wild; all the Immortal Lord essence inside him was rampaging. To outsiders, Ryan didn’t even look human anymore—he was like a living crystal, a sight so freaky it left everyone speechless.
"Unreal, this guy’s just too strong—like, off-the-charts strong!" The crowd couldn’t help but shout, their minds blown and scared out of their wits.
Right then, Ryan roared at the top of his lungs. In that moment, he hit the absolute peak of his life—peak Immortal Lord! Of course, compared to that Heaven-Earth Sect expert from before, Ryan was on a whole other level. That guy may have been peak Immortal Lord, but next to Ryan he was nothing. Ryan could take on a hundred of those so-called experts without breaking a sweat.
"Nothing more to say!" Ryan’s heart surged with joy. He’d just survived a huge tribulation, and now his power had maxed out. He’d totally surpassed everything—his skills, his strength, his whole vibe were on a whole new level. People didn’t even dare look him in the eye anymore!
"Ryan!" Lynn Long and Lily, who hadn’t said a word for ages, rushed over grinning. To them, Ryan was now the most perfect man in the Immortal World—a total top-tier legend. Being able to marry a guy like him was pure destiny.
"Let’s go! Why not head over to Heaven City and see what kind of monsters are waiting for us? I’m dying to pay them a visit!" Ryan wasn’t nervous at all. He knew he could handle anything now. It was time to storm Heaven City—if he settled things there, the whole Immortal World would be his playground. And if he could seize Heaven City, his power might shoot straight to Immortal Lord great-perfection!
"Alright, let’s hit Heaven City!" Lynn Long and Lily didn’t hesitate for a second—they’d been itching to go. Entering Heaven City was the only way to really level up. It was the heart of the Immortal World, packed with treasures and more Immortal Lords than you could count. If they could wipe out the whole city, their power would skyrocket. But for Ryan, it wasn’t just about loot—his friends and family were locked up in Heaven-Earth Sect headquarters right in the city. So he had to storm in and crush Heaven-Earth Sect once and for all.
Right now, Heaven City was on full alert—especially the Heaven-Earth Sect headquarters. Dark clouds hung overhead; everything was shaking. Ryan’s power was off the charts, way beyond anyone’s imagination. At this point, saying he’d surpassed Immortal Lord wasn’t even an exaggeration!
Heaven-Earth Sect’s base was right by the South Gate. Inside and out, every sect was in total crisis mode—people running around like it was the apocalypse. The whole scene was wild, almost comical!
"What’s wrong with you guys? Can’t you calm down? Are you telling me with all our Heaven-Earth Sect muscle, we can’t handle one punk? Chill out and guard your sects! I refuse to believe he can break in!" The Heaven-Earth Sect high command was on edge, but they weren’t easy to wipe out. The guy talking was a top-tier expert, already at Immortal Lord great-perfection, with at least a dozen more like him in the sect. Plus, there were even scarier monsters lurking in the city—some had reached Immortal Emperor level, totally beyond imagination. So even with Ryan’s rampage, the top brass stayed calm, maybe even a little excited. A freak like Ryan was rare, and now they were itching for a real fight.
Right now, Heaven-Earth Sect was front and center, holding the gate. The place was packed with formations, and the South Gate defenses were crazy tight. Every guard was at least Immortal Lord level. With defenses like this, the whole Immortal World was shaking. Nobody had ever seen a siege this wild before.
Meanwhile, Ryan was standing outside the South Gate, eyes blazing. He looked totally calm, but inside he was hyped—this was a first even for him. If he could break Heaven City now, he’d cement his legend forever. Even if he lost, nobody would ever forget him.
"Let’s do this! Time to smash this gate—I want to see just how tough Heaven-Earth Sect headquarters really is!" Ryan shouted, pumped to the max...
