"Devour, devour, and devour some more!" Right now, Ryan Ling didn't hesitate for a second. After several rounds of wild devouring, he'd basically gathered up all the Primordial Immortal corpses in the area—over a hundred bodies, each one top-grade treasure in his eyes. If he could absorb them all, that would be a heaven-shaking boost for his cultivation!
At this moment, everything had hit a turning point. He'd absorbed so many corpses that he was practically bursting with power. Ryan Ling didn't even pause to think—his mind was locked on one thing: smashing through to the next realm!
"Break through!" Ryan shouted in his heart, then dove headfirst into a frenzied charge. Instantly, the whole underground started shaking—like he'd sucked all the power out of the place. That feeling? Absolutely off-the-charts!
His realm shot up like crazy—almost instantly reaching the very peak of the Primordial Immortal tier. All those hundred-plus Primordial Immortal corpses he'd stockpiled? They burned up in a flash, not a scrap left behind. The whole thing was just insanely intense!
Even the girl next to him couldn't help but pause, her eyes wide with shock. She clearly hadn't expected Ryan's breakthrough to be this wild—the sheer volume of power was enough to shake the heavens! He'd pushed his Da Luo Golden Immortal strength to the absolute limit, finally standing at the very summit—achieving Da Luo Golden Immortal great-perfection!
Right now, even the air around him was infected by that Da Luo Golden Immortal power—everything seemed to go golden. But Ryan didn't stop there; he just kept rocketing higher!
Even Ryan himself was caught off guard by this feeling. He’d thought hitting Da Luo Golden Immortal great-perfection was already enough, but nope—the climb wasn’t stopping! As soon as those hundred-plus Primordial Immortal corpses finished melting down, all the leftover Earth-Vein Energy in the ground went nuts, flooding straight into him. Ryan felt totally maxed out, so hyped he could barely stand it!
"Go for another breakthrough!" Ryan yelled, and his power boiled over again. In that moment, he unleashed every last bit of potential inside himself. The Da Luo Golden Immortal aura exploded out in all directions, like everything was getting wiped out in a split second. It looked terrifying, but for Ryan, this was the ultimate rebirth—a total transformation!
Only by completely blasting apart his Da Luo Golden Immortal body could he truly break out of his shell and jump straight to the Primordial Immortal level!
So what is a true Primordial Immortal, anyway?
It's the ultimate fusion of immortal power—when your vital essence merges into one, that's how you really break through everything. Ryan Ling hadn't fully crossed that line yet, but the signs of Primal Unity Qi were already showing. Power was surging inside him like mad, and for a moment, it felt like the whole world's energy was pouring straight into his body!
Primal Unity Qi! In this instant, it was on full display!
Primal Unity Qi is hands-down the biggest symbol of the Primordial Immortal Realm! It's a whole new way of interpreting and evolving immortal power!
Even the corpses outside were stunned by Ryan's transformation—including the Ancestor Immortal himself. All of them stared at the upheaval underground, clearly not believing something like this could actually happen!
For a moment, the attacks on Ryan hit their absolute peak. Even the massive light barrier couldn't hold back this kind of bombardment—the Ancestor Immortal's assault had reached its apex, and the outer defense layer was about to collapse any second!
But Ryan Ling wasn't panicking at all. His power had leveled up perfectly to half-step Primordial Immortal—worlds apart from just a moment ago. He'd absorbed the essence of nearly a hundred and fifty Primordial Immortal corpses, and the rush was driving him absolutely wild. There was nothing he couldn't do!
And the woman beside him had leveled up like crazy too—she'd just hit Primordial Immortal great-perfection, and was already charging toward half-step Ancestor Immortal! That kind of power? Pretty much on par with Marcus Wu. With both of them at this level, they could totally go head-to-head with the Ancestor Immortal!
"How's that?" Ryan took a deep breath—he'd clearly reached the realm he'd been dreaming of. No more chasing breakthroughs; with this much power, he could take on the Ancestor Immortal head-to-head!
"Awesome! I feel totally pumped right now!" The woman shot Ryan a satisfied look, even licking her lips unconsciously—clearly itching to go another round with him.
Ryan couldn't help but sweat—these Elysium Sect girls were something else. Honestly, when it came down to it, they seemed even hungrier than guys!
"Alright, once we finish off that Ancestor Immortal, we'll split the loot fifty-fifty!" Ryan Ling said straight-up.
"I'm all yours!" After Ryan had taken her, the woman was way less arrogant than before—she even seemed a bit tender, her eyes on Ryan totally different now, like she'd already decided he was her man.
"Deal!" Ryan didn't overthink it—right now, all he wanted was to launch a counterattack!
Just then, there was a thunderous crash—the defensive light barrier around them shattered in an instant. The Ancestor Immortal was clearly busting out his strongest move, and it was so overpowered that nothing else could've cracked the barrier!
"Finally broke it, damn it! Now let's see where you little punks run—just die already!" The Ancestor Immortal had totally snapped, burning through all his power to bust open the defense. The second it broke, he couldn't wait to charge in and finish off Ryan and the two women!
The Ancestor Immortal was sure he'd win—this should've been a piece of cake. But he never expected that the second he went berserk, Ryan and the woman were already primed and ready. No hesitation, they unleashed their peak power and charged straight at him!
They'd been saving up this power for ages—when it erupted, it was sky-high! The Ancestor Immortal's corpse was totally stunned, his whole body going nuts. His defenses collapsed instantly, since he'd burned most of his energy just to break the barrier; there was no way he could keep attacking now!
Honestly, it was his own fault—if he'd been a bit more careful, this never would've happened!
Now, with Ryan and the woman attacking from both sides, the Ancestor Immortal was totally trapped. They bit into his body, stripping away his power chunk by chunk. It was pure agony, but Ryan was so fast the Ancestor Immortal couldn't even escape!
The Ancestor Immortal let out a shrieking howl—he was seriously getting wrecked!
But right after that scream, Ryan dragged him straight into a bottomless abyss. In a flash, the Ancestor Immortal's body was completely dissolved—and Ryan sucked out every last drop of Ancestor Immortal essence. A wild surge of power blasted into Ryan's body, pushing him even further past half-step Primordial Immortal!
Meanwhile, the woman couldn't hold back her own breakthrough—she blasted her power straight into Ancestor Immortal! Even she hadn't expected it, but her base was still weaker than Ryan's, so even at Ancestor Immortal, she was a notch below him.
Ryan didn't hesitate—he sucked in all the rest of the power around him. Total jackpot! Even the Primordial Immortal corpses that tried to run got swallowed up. In that moment, Ryan felt his strength surge to the max, almost like he'd hit the very peak of his life...
