Right now, Ryan Ling feels like he's totally doomed! This kind of insane attack is definitely enough to kill him!
Even though there's a powerful aura by his side, it's still just an aura—no matter how strong, it's limited. And this strike from the Sect Master is absolutely top-tier!
In this critical moment, Ryan doesn't hesitate for a second. He suddenly shoves Elder Harold Hong out of the way—he's already close to the escape tunnel, and with Ryan's help, Harold's definitely getting in!
"Ryan, Ryan, don't—!" Elder Harold Hong shouts desperately, clearly heartbroken. His mind is collapsing; he wishes so badly he could switch places with Ryan!
But obviously, fate isn't going to swap things around just because he wants it to!
The moment Ryan pushes Elder Harold Hong out, he's sucked in by a powerful space-time vacuum. Just now it was only his legs, but now it's his whole body—within seconds, most of Ryan is gone, with only his head sticking out!
"Ryan—!" Elder Harold Hong screams in utter despair, torn apart inside, but at this point, nothing he does will help!
Meanwhile, the Supreme Elders of Nine-Dragon Gate are all howling with excitement. They're absolutely thrilled—Ryan's strength isn't just 'ordinary enemy' level, and he even wiped out their whole elder corps.
So capturing him is a huge deal. Plus, there's the key point that Ryan is the last hope of Ruins Sect—catching him means Ruins Sect is totally finished. Of course the Supreme Elders of Nine-Dragon Gate are fired up!
"Sect Master, you did great! This time that punk is totally screwed. Don't kill him yet—let's torture him nice and slow. It'll be way more fun to cut his flesh off piece by piece!"
"Just cutting his flesh is pointless. This kid's strength and potential are off the charts—if we can refine him into a treasure, the power would be insane! Nobody could stop it!"
"Exactly! We should totally refine him. Now that's satisfying! I really want to see what kind of freak he'd turn into after getting refined!"
...
Right now, all the Supreme Elders around are yelling and watching like it's a show. In their eyes, the Sect Master has already made his move, and Ryan is totally helpless. Just as they're finishing their comments, only Ryan's head is left outside!
That scene makes it clear to everyone—Ryan really can't hold on this time!
"I—I..." Ryan still wants to say something, obviously super unwilling to give up, but there's no chance for him to speak. In a flash, the Nine-Dragon Gate Sect Master unleashes a crushing blow—almost a death sentence!
In that instant, the whole area erupts with a deafening boom, and every last bit of Ryan's vitality is wiped out!
"Become my prisoner—completely!" The Nine-Dragon Gate Sect Master shouts, his voice echoing across the sky. As his words fall, a massive force yanks Ryan straight into the Sect Master's twisted space!
In that moment, not a trace of Ryan's aura remains in the entire Immortal Domain World!
"Ryan, Ryan, Ryan..." The surviving members of Ruins Sect all feel it—everyone starts screaming Ryan's name, including Linglong, Joanna Long, and even the high command who'd just glimpsed a shred of hope!
Obviously, once Ryan is captured, Ruins Sect is totally finished!
Inside and out, there's absolutely no room left to turn things around!
"Ruins Sect, what do you have left to fight me with now?" Right now, the Nine-Dragon Gate Sect Master is looking down on them with pure contempt. Ryan might've been strong, but now that he's caught, his life or death is totally up to the Sect Master's mood!
The moment the Sect Master finishes, not a single Ruins Sect disciple dares to say a word!
It's obvious—there's no cure for this disaster now!
But even though Ryan's panicking, deep down he's still pretty calm. Normally, getting dragged into a twisted space like this means certain death, but Ryan's got one last trump card: that insanely powerful Giant God!
That godlike being is definitely stronger than the Profound Immortal Sect Master. Before, Ryan's Earth Immortal power couldn't even reach it, but now he's late-stage Heavenly Immortal—he can finally make contact with the Immortal World! Plus, he still has the Primeval Heavenwood to rely on!
Ryan doesn't hesitate. He channels his consciousness through the roots of Primeval Heavenwood, slowly reaching toward the Immortal World. Before, he just used Heavenwood to absorb Immortal World aura, but never sent his own mind through. This time it's totally different—Ryan pours his essence, energy, and spirit in, letting his awareness rise up into the Immortal World!
It's actually super risky—if he loses control, it could be even deadlier than falling into the Sect Master's twisted space. But Ryan's got nowhere else to go. His mind keeps soaring upward, breaking through the clouds, like he's entered a whole new world!
This world is indescribably majestic and gorgeous—it makes your eyes light up! Everything here is spotlessly clean, not a single impurity. Just being here calms your heart, like anyone who comes would never want to leave!
Ryan knows for sure—this has to be the Immortal World!
Everything here is so different, Ryan's practically stunned. The Immortal Domain World tries to copy the Immortal World, but compared to the real thing, it's way off—totally not in the same league!
But Ryan doesn't have time to gawk at the scenery—he's in extreme danger! He has to use that precious aura to find the supreme Giant God and borrow its power to escape!
Of course, that's just his hope—whether it works depends on luck!
As his consciousness goes deeper, Ryan vaguely senses that immense power drawing closer, almost like the Giant God is right in front of him—but he can't see it at all!
"Senior, sorry for barging into the heavens—I'm in serious trouble right now! If you could lend a hand, I'd be grateful for life!" Ryan doesn't hesitate; he knows the supreme being is nearby and shouts out in his heart.
As soon as that thought pops up, a flash of golden light appears. A blurry light-shadow shows up in front of Ryan, trying to communicate. But just as Ryan's about to speak, the shadow gives up on its own. Ryan's confused, but quickly gets it—the gap in power is so massive, direct contact might actually hurt him, so the shadow just stays silent!
But the light-shadow clearly understands why Ryan's here. A gentle wave of light stretches over and rests on Ryan's head, giving him a special blessing—the ancient 'crown-touch'!
Instantly, Ryan's panic from being captured fades away, and his anxiety disappears too. He feels way more relaxed—even though his cultivation hasn't broken through, his mental fortitude is several times stronger!
And slowly, the shadow hands Ryan a top-tier divine artifact—it looks like a strand of hair. The hair seems totally ordinary, but in Ryan's hand, it weighs billions of catties and radiates a unique aura that makes him feel insanely powerful!
In a flash, he realizes he actually has the strength to break through the twisted space-time now. The moment that thought hits, his consciousness plunges downward at lightning speed, reuniting body and soul. That trip to the Immortal World felt like a dream, but Ryan's definitely changed...
