"Break through!" Ryan Ling didn't hesitate for a second. Riding the surge inside him, he shot straight up, ready to smash his limits.
The energy between heaven and earth started swelling, and down below Paula Bloom immediately started screaming her head off.
In a flash, Ryan snapped out of his trance.
If he forced a breakthrough right now, Paula Bloom would probably drop dead on the spot.
His own energy and buildup weren't truly ready yet—obviously, it wasn't the real time to break into fourth-layer Heaven-Tribulation.
He'd only just broken through third-layer Heaven-Tribulation a few days ago—trying to jump straight to fourth-layer now was clearly impossible!
But now that he knew the Western Pacifying King was attacking the Ghost Immortal Realm, he had to rush and notify his Yama dad, so he could prepare in advance.
Ryan quickly gathered Marshal Zhong Kui and his other followers. The human world stuff was basically wrapped up—Daniel Deng and the rest could handle rebuilding China. Right now, the real fight was in the Netherworld. If they couldn't win this round, everything they'd done in the human world would be for nothing.
Ryan rallied everyone and charged straight for the Netherworld.
The human world had been roaring with battle, but the Netherworld was eerily quiet—no movement, no sound, just pure silence. Over at the Western Pacifying King's Residence, their forces had pulled back, almost like they were ready to throw in the towel.
