This was obviously the ultimate clash of titans. Everyone’s eyes were glued to the scene—not just folks from the Immortal Domain World, but even experts from other higher realms had their eyes wide open. This kind of showdown was insanely rare, basically unheard of: a true Immortal World powerhouse descending to the mortal realm to duel a top mortal expert? First time in a thousand years, probably!
Still, right now a ton of people were sweating bullets for Ryan Ling. Let’s be real: in this first round, he was almost guaranteed to lose. Reason one—the opponent’s an Immortal World master, and no matter how badass a mortal expert is, you just don’t mess with Heaven. Challenge Heaven and you’re dead, simple as that. Reason two—the other guy’s a Golden Immortal, while Ryan’s only at Profound Immortal. That’s a huge gap in rank, no matter how strong he is.
Even some Immortal World bigshots were slowly shifting their attention down to the lower realm. This immortal-vs-mortal showdown was just too eye-catching!
“Kid, gotta say, I respect your guts for daring to fight me. But since you want to smash an egg against a rock, I’ll help you out!” The Golden Immortal from the Immortal World grinned, totally smug. No matter what he said or did, he had to act like he was way above it all—this battle had a massive audience, probably tens of thousands watching inside and out!
“Cut the crap! Let’s just fight for real!” Ryan Ling didn’t hesitate for a second. The moment he finished speaking, he charged straight at the Golden Immortal, his whole aura flaring up instantly!
Everyone around cranked their focus up to max. Nobody wanted to miss a single moment—if you could pick up even a scrap of experience from a fight like this, it’d be a huge boost for your own strength.
Boom!
In a flash, a massive bang rang out from the center—Ryan Ling’s overwhelming power slammed right into the Golden Immortal. The guy had been acting super chill, even blocking with just one hand to show off his Immortal World status. But he did NOT expect Ryan’s outburst to be this strong. Forget one hand—even with both hands, he was struggling to hold on.
“This kid’s got some insane strength!” The Golden Immortal’s brows tightened as he instantly unleashed all his power to push back. Golden Immortal qi exploded out—normally, even a Golden Immortal wouldn’t get pushed this far!
“He really is something else. It’s like he’s got endless energy—forcing even a Golden Immortal to go all-out. Honestly, this kid’s a once-in-a-century freak!”
“No kidding! And I heard this kid’s from some super barren place called Earth—a spot the gods totally abandoned, so desolate there’s basically zero spiritual energy. Who’d have thought a monster like him could pop up there? Unreal!”
“Right now, he’s probably at Profound Immortal peak. But his Golden Immortal-level power is even stronger than an actual Golden Immortal! And like that guy just said, it’s like he’s got bottomless strength. Did you see it? Even with full force, this Golden Immortal can’t block Ryan Ling’s rampage. Epic—totally epic!”
At this moment, experts from the Immortal Domain World and other realms were all buzzing about it, excitement written all over their faces!
While everyone was busy gossiping, even a bunch of Immortal World bigshots looked shocked and kind of embarrassed. The Huangfu Family’s Golden Immortal was supposed to represent the Immortal World—he should’ve crushed Ryan Ling with one move. But now things were looking bad for him, and these Immortal World bosses were losing face big time!
Sure, those Immortal World bosses weren’t whispering or panicking—they put on a calm front. But behind the scenes, they were piling the pressure on the Huangfu Golden Immortal. He felt like Ryan Ling was a mountain barreling down on him, so he kept ramping up his Golden Immortal power. At first, he was only using about fifty percent, but now he was pushing ninety percent—enough to wreck the whole Immortal Domain World in a flash. And yet, he still couldn’t hurt Ryan at all.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!” Ryan Ling kept yelling, his power skyrocketing like crazy. His aura was almost swallowing up the Golden Immortal’s, and the crowd was going wild. If a mortal-realm cultivator actually beat down a noble Immortal World expert, it’d be legendary—people would be telling the story for ages!
After all, the Immortal World sits way above everyone else, basically ruling all realms. Any cultivator facing an Immortal World expert has to bow their head—nobody dares challenge Heaven. Even Demon World powerhouses don’t mess with the Immortal World unless they have to, and when they do, it’s all low-key, never direct attacks!
“Golden Immortal? Meh, you’re not all that. If you don’t bust out your real trump card, you’re gonna lose!” Ryan Ling smirked, still looking totally chill with a grin on his face. The Golden Immortal, on the other hand, looked like he was about to cough up blood!
Thunder rumbled in the sky—clearly, those Immortal World bosses were getting seriously pissed off!
“Damn it, I’m a Golden Immortal from the Immortal World! Who the hell do you think you are? You wanna beat me? Dream on! I haven’t even shown you my real moves yet. If you wanna fight, I won’t hold back!” As soon as he finished, all his Golden Immortal power gathered in his right fist, making it glow crystal-clear like glass.
“Golden Immortal Tyrant Fist!” The Golden Immortal roared, his fist shooting out like an ice pillar straight at Ryan Ling. In an instant, Ryan was totally frozen solid—not by regular ice, but by the Golden Immortal’s toughest essence. This stuff was basically indestructible. If you got hit by this punch, it was a death sentence, inside and out, zero chance of survival.
“You little punk, the strongest thing about a Golden Immortal is our essence—it can even withstand tribulation lightning. You, a mere Profound Immortal, dreaming of resisting my power? Keep dreaming!” The Golden Immortal smiled coolly, totally relaxed for once, even flashing a rare grin.
Right then, all the mortal spectators started freaking out. After all, this was the Golden Immortal’s Tyrant Fist, and nobody had ever heard of anyone escaping it. That punch could even shatter tribulation lightning—no doubt about its power. In the Immortal World, even prison cells were built with Golden Immortal essence, so its toughness was legendary!
“Nice! Well done!” Voices echoed from the sky—the Immortal World bigshots had finally relaxed, figuring their reputation was safe. If a mortal cultivator really beat one of their own, it’d be the ultimate humiliation, a story they’d never live down!
But just as they were getting smug, someone suddenly shouted from below—it was none other than Lady Melody. She pointed at the frozen spot where Ryan Ling was trapped and yelled, “Look! There are cracks in that glassy ice block...”
“What? Seriously?” Instantly, every nervous eye locked onto the scene. Tons of people were desperately hoping Ryan Ling would win—their hearts were all tangled up!
And right as everyone stared, cracks really did start spreading across the ice around Ryan Ling. The fissures grew wider and wider, and people could see his hand moving—he was going all out, trying to break through the frozen barrier!
“No way! This is impossible! How could a mere Profound Immortal break through my Golden Immortal essence barrier?” The Golden Immortal was dumbstruck, rubbing his eyes in disbelief at what was happening.
But it was real—Ryan Ling was shaking his body like crazy, and the ice chunks were falling off nonstop. Nothing could hold him back...
