In an instant, Ryan Ling's excitement was written all over his face—he'd never felt anything like this before. His strength wasn't just rising a little; the surge was absolutely off the charts. Just as he rocketed up to mid-stage Profound Immortal, his power broke through again, shooting straight to late-stage Profound Immortal, and he even felt like he was about to smash through to Profound Immortal peak!
Ryan was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement—his power was so insane, even he could barely believe it. Compared to before, his strength had multiplied by at least a billion times. Right now, every bit of his aura had totally changed, inside and out, radiating pure dominance. The force in his body felt like it could crush literally anything!
And what really blew his mind was, the power in that Immortal-World Finger Fragment seemed like he'd only unlocked about a tenth of it—there was still endless strength left inside, just waiting to be tapped. If he unleashed it all at once, Ryan honestly felt he could skip a whole realm and rocket straight to Golden Immortal!
But that was just wishful thinking—he wouldn't dare go that far. Once you break into realms above Heavenly Immortal, every step has to be super careful; you absolutely can't just recklessly charge ahead. Ryan had already blasted through several sub-stages in one go, which was basically unheard of in immortal cultivation—straight-up insane.
Right now, Ryan could feel his body was almost at its limit—if he tried to break through to Golden Immortal in one breath, his whole body might just explode from the overload. Everything had to go step by step, especially in cultivation. If he could hit Profound Immortal peak in one shot, that was already a miracle—something insanely rare even in the Immortal World!
"No way! Why is this guy's aura getting stronger and stronger? It's so intense it could cover the whole City Lord's Mansion!" Right now, Lady Miranda could clearly sense Ryan's power skyrocketing. Her face was pure shock—just moments ago she was furious, but now she was straight-up terrified and couldn't believe what she was seeing!
All the top experts around were just as baffled—they'd thrown out their strongest moves, stuff that should've wiped out anything. But against this guy, it was like nothing worked at all!
"Brothers, hit him again! We have to blast him to pieces!"
"That's right, let's go all out—he has to die!"
"Call in every single one of our brothers—over a hundred Profound Immortals together! I refuse to believe we can't kill just one guy!"
......
By now, more and more top experts from the City Lord's Mansion were gathering—almost a hundred Profound Immortals, each one going all out. Their combined power was so overwhelming it almost destroyed Lady Miranda's entire bedroom in an instant!
"Boom boom boom!" For a moment, the deafening explosions roared through the sky, shaking all of Stan City to its core. Guards and civilians everywhere started panicking—everyone thought some top-tier powerhouse was invading, and the whole city instantly plunged into chaos. Shouts echoed inside and out, and more experts locked their sights on the City Lord's Mansion. It was obvious the turmoil was coming from there!
"Break through, break through, break through!" Right now, Ryan was totally tuned out from the outside world, completely immersed in pushing his realm higher. The rush was so exhilarating he couldn't help but get hyped—his Profound Immortal power was exploding upward, and he felt like he was about to hit Profound Immortal peak. No way he was letting this chance slip by!
"Impossible! There's no way!" Lady Miranda was totally stunned—she just couldn't believe that, at a moment like this, Ryan was actually breaking through his realm. She'd known exactly how strong he was before, but now his cultivation was shooting up to insane levels. Not only had he broken into the Profound Immortal Realm, he was about to reach Profound Immortal peak—this was just unreal!
The experts all around were just as dumbfounded—Ryan was a total anomaly, and his transformation left everyone completely floored!
"Damn it, even if it means wiping out the entire City Lord's Mansion, we have to kill this punk! Activate the self-annihilation formation!" Lady Miranda screamed like a maniac—Ryan's non-stop breakthrough was driving her off the deep end. She'd totally lost it, unleashing a tidal wave of power from the Mansion. She was clearly willing to blow up everything just to take Ryan down, even if it meant mutual destruction!
And the experts around her didn't hesitate for a second—at this point, it was obvious this was the only move that might work. Every other trick was totally useless now!
"Activate!" Lady Miranda didn't waste a second—she barked the order, and the entire Mansion started shaking violently. Huge crowds of maids, including Matron Rhonda, plus a bunch of regular guards, were all swept up in the chaos. Faced with this insane massacre, none of them had time to escape. The whole City Lord's Mansion started closing in like a giant dumpling, crushing everything inside. Ryan was caught right in the middle, about to be insta-killed by the formation!
"Boom!" With one final muffled blast, the whole City Lord's Mansion turned into a gigantic sphere—sealed tight, with blood pooling everywhere. It was clear every living thing inside was wiped out; not a single trace of life remained!
"That should do it, right? I can't sense that guy's aura anymore!"
"Looks like it—he's gone. The guy was in the middle of a breakthrough, so his defenses were at their weakest. We hit him with a total annihilation array; there's no way he could've gotten out!"
"Damn, finally done! Who would've thought Stan City would get a guy like that—he made us blow up the whole City Lord's Mansion just to take him out. That's one hell of a price!"
"Alright, shut up! Can't you see the boss looks pissed? You wanna get sliced to pieces?"
......
The experts around finally let out a sigh of relief—under that kind of pressure, even Ryan couldn't possibly get out. Lady Miranda was still furious, but she relaxed a little too; as far as she was concerned, Ryan was dead!

But just as Lady Miranda was about to order everyone to clean up, suddenly that massive sphere let out a terrifying roar and exploded. A flash of light shot out—Ryan's power had fully blasted up to Profound Immortal peak! The force was earth-shattering; nobody around could even hope to stand against it!
"You guys really thought you could kill me? Keep dreaming!" Ryan grinned—at the critical moment, he'd finally made it to Profound Immortal peak, his highest realm yet. It was a total transformation, sky-high and unstoppable. Ryan felt his power had multiplied a trillion times, and now his gaze could sweep across all of Stan City. Every demon's movement was crystal clear—nobody could escape him. His senses were insane: he could smell, hear, and see everything, like a true god!
The key to being a Profound Immortal is all about the mysteries—his immortal arts were totally unleashed, and his body could transform at will. Right now, Ryan could turn into water, become a ball of fire—anything he wanted!
"No way, this can't be happening!" Lady Miranda was totally losing it. She'd ruled Stan City for years and never faced anything like this. Destroying her whole Mansion wasn't enough to beat him—she just couldn't wrap her head around it!
"Heh, you still wanna fight me, slut?" Ryan had zero reservations now—he flew right up to Lady Miranda and, in a flash, pulled her into his arms!
"W-What are you trying to do?" Lady Miranda's face went ghostly pale—she was so scared she could barely talk!
"Relax, I'm not here to mess with you. I'm just saying, even if you all gang up, you're no match for me. So let's drop it for today—I can let you go, but don't come after me again, or I'll wipe out your whole city..." Ryan wasn't interested in arguing—he just wanted to get out of there ASAP.
