If this were any ordinary person, you'd just call them crazy—but Ryan Ling is a Glazed Earth Immortal, and his strength is on a whole different level from your average Earth Immortal. Plus, he’s so calm and collected that nobody can tell what kind of backing he might be hiding. Judging by the looks in everyone’s eyes right now, nobody actually believes Ryan will lose easily. In fact, some are starting to think he might even win!
"Now the real battle’s about to start!" Lydia Jin couldn’t help but sigh. Clearly, everything up to now—taking on the Xiao Family, the Ouyang Family, even the core forces of the Huangfu Family—was just a warm-up.
But right now, facing off against Harlan Yanro is where the real fight begins!
For a moment, everyone around just instinctively held their breath. Every single person wanted to see just how insane this earth-shaking battle would get!
"Heavenly Immortal Blades—full power! Kill, kill, kill!" Harlan Yanro roared at the top of his lungs. In an instant, the Heavenly Immortal qi inside him transformed into billions of razor-sharp blades. These weren’t just ordinary attacks—even though they were mostly phantoms, each one was basically on par with an Immortal Artifact.
Just imagine—countless 'Immortal Artifacts' all attacking Ryan at once. The destructive power here is off the charts!
In a split second, not just the entire arena, but even the ancient defensive barriers set up around it by generations collapsed with a deafening crash. All the spectators—millions of top experts—shot into the air. Nobody could stand up to this level of power. Even if you just got grazed by the shockwave, it was instant death or at least crippling injury!
Suddenly, millions of powerful defensive shields snapped up all at once—even top experts like Lydia Jin weren’t taking any chances. Nobody dared relax for a second!
But even with all that, tons of innocent experts were still killed in an instant!
And the crazy part? All they took was maybe a billionth of the force from those wild strikes—if that. The real focus of this attack was locked right on Ryan!
Right now, Ryan was taking the strongest attack anyone had ever seen—but he didn’t flinch at all. He just unleashed his Glazed Earth Immortal qi like crazy, then let out a thunderous shout as waves of Glazed Earth Immortal power transformed into wild, howling blades!
Heavenly Immortal blades versus howling Glazed sabers!
In an instant, the sky above Immortal-Domain City was absolute chaos—explosions thundered nonstop, and it felt like every living being in the region was teetering on the edge of life and death!
This battle was terrifying, but here’s the mind-blowing part: Ryan, relying only on his Earth Immortal power, actually managed to block Harlan Yanro’s strike. In the blink of an eye, it looked like they were fighting to a draw!
"No way!" Harlan Yanro’s eyes were full of disbelief. He stared at Ryan, suddenly realizing he’d seriously underestimated him. Even after Ryan hit Glazed Earth Immortal, Harlan honestly hadn’t taken him seriously—because, come on, Heavenly Immortals are supposed to be untouchable. How could an Earth Immortal possibly stand up to that?
But now, he finally realized just how wrong he’d been!
Ryan’s power and foundation were so ridiculously deep, even Harlan was shocked!
"This kid is something else—Harlan Yanro’s actually stunned! You think he’ll lose?" The Nine-Dragon Gate crowd was getting nervous. Clearly, this tournament was spinning way out of their expectations.
"You’re overthinking it. A Heavenly Immortal isn’t going down that easy—just watch, the real fireworks are still coming!" Another old Heavenly Immortal from Nine-Dragon Gate looked surprised, but didn’t get too worked up.
And just as he finished speaking, Harlan Yanro launched his second wave of attacks. His Heavenly Immortal qi doubled, and endless flames roared out from behind him. This was the Heavenly Immortal smelting art—so strong that even a world like Earth could be melted into slag in an instant!
This power swept over the arena in a flash—instantly vaporizing everything. Around Ryan, the flames even burned holes in space itself, like wormholes. These Heavenly Immortal flames weren’t ordinary at all; they came with a vibe that just crushed everything in their path!
"Burn! Burn the world! Glazed body? Ha! Even if you’re solid steel inside and out, I’ll melt you down to slag!" Harlan Yanro shouted, his voice still overflowing with swagger and dominance. You could feel the sense that the whole world was still under his heel—nobody was taking it away that easily!
Everyone around was scared out of their minds—some people were so freaked out they couldn’t even look. This raging inferno was hands down the most brutal scene in the world!
Ryan didn’t hesitate for a second. He started frantically unleashing his Glazed qi, pouring all his power into defense. His shield was maxed out!
But even so, the Heavenly Immortal flames were just way too savage. Ryan pumped out every last bit of Glazed Earth Immortal defense, but it still wasn’t enough. The flames kept eating away at his shield, inside and out, and his aura was getting weaker by the second!
"This is bad—really bad!" Lydia Jin sucked in a sharp breath. With this kind of insane attack, even Ryan’s Glazed body was starting to blur. Clearly, there was still a huge gap between the two!
Back in the day, Ryan could punch above his weight in the Heavenly Immortal or Void Immortal realms—but fighting a real Heavenly Immortal is a whole different beast. No matter how strong an Earth Immortal gets, compared to a true Heavenly Immortal, the gap is still massive!
Going head-to-head just wasn’t going to cut it!
"So what do we do? Is there anything we can actually help with?" Leon Long swallowed hard, his nerves shot.
"No chance. In a fight like this, we’d just get in the way—or worse, get killed without even knowing how!" Lydia Jin clearly saw through it all, shaking her head as she spoke.
