Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the whole mountain erupted—Ryan Ling’s Divine Immortal aura was way too strong. Mixed in were the savage powers of Primeval Heavenwood, Lady Melody’s Profound Immortal force, the purest dragon qi essence from Nine-Dragon Gate, plus Ryan’s own monstrous strength. All those forces fused together and went wild on Ryan’s body, supercharging his breakthrough. The immortal power he achieved was just off-the-charts!
This sudden chaos finally caught Nine-Dragon Gate’s attention. Even if these people were idiots, they could tell something was seriously wrong. And the worst part? The quake’s epicenter was coming from Madam Long’s main peak. As everyone stared at the rumbling mountain, their eyes naturally drifted to Sect Master Drake Long.
“Go check it out!” Sect Master Drake Long steadied himself and put on a calm face. Right now, he couldn’t afford to lose composure—he was supposed to be the strongest in the whole Immortal Domain World. Besides, he’d invited basically every big shot in the world to this massive celebration. No matter what disaster was brewing, he had to act cool.
“Got it!” A bunch of newly promoted elders immediately volunteered and sprinted off. Ever since Ryan Ling wiped out the previous elder corps, these backup guys had all been bumped up in rank—though most of them were just Divine Immortal rookies.
“No worries, everyone. My wife’s probably celebrating too. Drink up!” In front of so many VIPs, Sect Master Drake Long absolutely couldn’t lose face.
The guests all nodded along. In this situation, nobody took it seriously—this was Nine-Dragon Gate’s core territory, after all. Who’d be crazy enough to attack here right now? And besides, Ruins Sect—the only real rival—was basically wiped off the map.
But just as their words faded, another massive explosion ripped through the main peak—way louder than before, like ten thousand lightning bolts going off at once. Screams echoed in everyone’s ears—clearly, the elders who’d gone to investigate were getting wrecked!
“Damn it, who the hell dares to make trouble in my Nine-Dragon Gate right now?” Even Drake Long couldn’t keep calm anymore. He shot into the air, with over a dozen Supreme Elders on his tail. The guests just looked baffled, whispering to each other, totally clueless about what was happening.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split the night sky—a familiar figure appeared overhead. Ryan Ling’s Divine Immortal qi was raging, making him look like a war god descending from heaven. Around him, the newly promoted Nine-Dragon Gate elders were shredded by his aura—the whole elder squad got wiped out in a flash. The guy behind it all? None other than Ryan Ling, fresh into the Divine Immortal Realm!
“Ryan Ling? You—you seriously showed up solo to get yourself killed right now?!” The Long family was grinding their teeth in fury at the sight.
Watching the scene, Drake Long was boiling inside. Nine-Dragon Gate’s elder corps had already died at Ryan’s hands once, and now this new batch was wiped out too. On the biggest day in sect history, with the whole world watching, something this insane was happening—his rage was like a volcano ready to blow!
But Ryan Ling didn’t give a damn. He smiled and said coolly, “Drake Long, you wrecked my sect and hurt my people. Today’s the day you die!”
“Just you?” Drake Long snorted and looked around. “Kid, don’t think breaking into the Divine Immortal Realm makes you hot stuff. I’m a Profound Immortal now—I could crush you in seconds!”
“Oh yeah? Come on, kill me—I’m waiting!” Ryan grinned. Now that he’d hit Divine Immortal, he was totally ready to throw down with Drake Long. Plus, Primeval Heavenwood’s roots were practically sky-high right now!
“Arrogant punk!” Drake Long clenched his fists, his fury blazing. To him, Ryan was just an ant he could squash at will. For this nobody to mouth off at him? Total insult!
“Sect Master, no need for you to dirty your hands with this bastard. We Supreme Elders can handle him!” Several Nine-Dragon Gate Supreme Elders jumped out, itching for a fight.
“Exactly! Today’s our grand celebration—so many guests watching, no need for you to step in. Leave it to us!”
“Right! Last time at Ruins Sect, we never even got a shot. Now that this punk’s come knocking, we Supreme Elders should finally get to show our stuff. He’s Divine Immortal? We don’t buy it—we’ll crush him!”
The nearby Supreme Elders all started shouting, clearly fired up by Ryan’s blatant disrespect.
“Fine, go ahead! I don’t care what it takes—just make sure you wipe him out today!” Drake Long calmed himself. The Supreme Elders were right: with so many people watching, if he jumped in personally, it’d look like Nine-Dragon Gate had no one else to rely on. Besides, if he, a Profound Immortal, had to deal with this kid himself, it’d be giving Ryan way too much credit!
With that, several Supreme Elders charged out. Nine-Dragon Gate had eighteen Supreme Elders in total, all peak Divine Immortal heavyweights. Their combined strength was absolutely terrifying—if they formed a grand array, they could even rival a Profound Immortal!

So with the Supreme Elders taking action, even Drake Long managed to keep his cool. The sect’s reputation was safe—for now.
“Kid, let me see what you’ve got!” One Supreme Elder couldn’t hold back any longer and charged at Ryan, fist blazing with max power—a full-force Divine Immortal punch!
That hit was seriously strong—even most Divine Immortals would struggle to block it!
But Ryan didn’t budge an inch. It was like he didn’t even care. His arrogant expression was off the charts. And then, just as the Supreme Elder’s Divine Immortal force was about to hit, something crazy happened—Ryan moved ever so slightly, and that supposedly unstoppable power instantly collapsed, vanishing into thin air without a sound!
“No way!” The Supreme Elder’s eyes went wide. He knew he’d just unleashed his strongest move, dumping all his power in one go. Even if Ryan’s new realm was insane, there’s no way he should’ve blocked it that easily!
“Trash!” Ryan looked at him with utter disdain, then swept his gaze over all the Supreme Elders as if they were just air.
“Screw it, throw more at him!” Drake Long yelled, grinding his teeth. He was angrier than anyone—this was supposed to be Nine-Dragon Gate’s big moment, but that damn kid was hogging all the spotlight. No wonder he was fuming!
“That’s right, send more! Otherwise I won’t even get a good workout!” Ryan put on a totally unconcerned face, like he’d crashed Nine-Dragon Gate just to put on a show and mess with their party. That look said loud and clear: something big was about to go down!
“Screw it, let’s all go!” The original Supreme Elder was joined by two more—three Supreme Elders charged straight at Ryan Ling…
