I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Just as Ryan grasped the crystal and had not yet absorbed its energy, a muffled rumble suddenly erupted from the cracked earth beneath his feet.

A more violent tremor than when the Nether Crocodile appeared swept over, and the ancient remains, dozens of meters high, collapsed violently amidst the shaking.

boom!

Hundreds of meters in front of Ryan, the black rock ground suddenly collapsed inward, and pitch-black void slime shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption, obscuring the already dim light in this area.

An ancient bone spider, over a kilometer long, emerged from the ground.

Its eight segments resemble rusty bronze pillars, their surfaces covered with thick, constantly writhing black, hollow keratin.

Its skull has eight hollow eye sockets, inside which flows a chilling red light.

With its appearance, the terrifying pressure of the early stage of the eighth rank spread outwards like a tsunami, pressing down on the surrounding space and making a "crackling" sound. Black spatial turbulence constantly arose and disappeared around it.

Ryan's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.

"Early stage of Rank 8..."

He stared intently at the bone spider, which was as large as a mountain, his chest heaving violently.

If he were at his peak, he might have been able to fight to the death, but he had already exhausted 70% of his power in order to kill the Nether Crocodile.

In this forbidden land devoid of any natural energy, he currently lacks even the resources to rebuild the Sword of Judgment.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room of the Western Sea Federation on Blue Star, viewers erupted in wails.

"My God! Why is there an early-stage eighth-tier Void Overlord here?!"

"It's over! Lord Ryan is in no condition to withstand even one attack from this monster!"

"Is our hope for the Western Sea Federation going to perish here?"

Countless people covered their eyes, unable to bear witnessing the impending tragedy.

Within the ruins, the ancient bone spider locked onto Ryan on the ground. One of its limbs, resembling a giant spear, rose high and, accompanied by a sonic boom, stabbed fiercely towards Ryan's location.

Ryan's face was full of bitterness.

At this critical moment.

From the far horizon came a deafening roar, like the beating of war drums.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The vast expanse of black rock trembled under this force, and the sound grew louder and louder than anything else.

Ryan turned his head sharply and saw a dazzling purple-gold light trailing a white sonic boom cloud thousands of meters long, smashing through the towering bone mountains along its path with devastating force, rapidly approaching this place.

That domineering and powerful blood energy was like a star racing wildly across the wasteland.

It's Shen Tian!

As if grasping at a last straw, Ryan completely abandoned his pride as the number one prodigy and roared at the top of his lungs, "Lord Shen Tian! Save me—"

The cry for help pierced through the howling sandstorm and echoed in the air.

Dozens of kilometers away, Shen Tian, ​​who was maintaining a high-speed sprint, had his eyes shining.

Ryan's cries for help reached his ears.

Shen Tian immediately straightened his chest, and his voice boomed across the sky.

"You audacious void beast!"

"How dare they harm my human race's prodigy in broad daylight! Their crime is unforgivable!"

The voice, filled with righteous indignation, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The bone spider's thrusting motion towards Ryan was abruptly interrupted by the thunderous sound. It slowly turned its massive body, its eight eye sockets all staring into the distance.

Shen Tian stomped his foot hard on the ground.

boom!

The rock strata within a radius of a hundred meters instantly turned to dust, and he used the violent recoil to propel himself upwards, leaping into the air thousands of meters high.

The pure Eternal Overlord Body was fully activated, and the power of creation surged out from his limbs and bones, all of which was compressed into his right fist.

Shen Tian swooped down from the sky, the air behind him compressed into rings of visible white high-pressure air waves.

Sensing a deadly threat, the bone spider swung its eight limbs in a crisscross pattern, and the void matter above it rapidly condensed into a black spiral shield a hundred meters thick.

Boom—!

Shen Tian's right fist slammed hard onto the spiral heavy shield.

In an instant, it completely dispelled the darkness within a ten-mile radius.

That seemingly indestructible void shield only lasted for half a breath before it cracked like fragile glass and shattered with a deafening roar.

The ferocious force of the punch continued unabated, landing with overwhelming force on the bone spider's skull.

Click!

The massive, kilometer-long body suddenly stiffened.

Under Ryan's astonished gaze, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the ancient bones.

Immediately afterwards, the entire bone spider exploded in mid-air like a powder keg that had been detonated!

Bone dust and dissipating black void matter poured down like a torrential rain, and a powerful shockwave swept across the ground, sending Ryan flying dozens of meters away.

[Ding! Successfully killed a Void Being, gaining 1000 Kill Points!]

Hearing the prompt in his mind, Shen Tian hovered in mid-air, but his movements did not stop at all.

"Since we're already here, let's eliminate those lurking, monstrous creatures as well! For the safety of our fellow humans!"

Shen Tian shouted loudly with righteous indignation.

A bright light shone from between his brows, and his vast eighth-grade spiritual power poured out like a river bursting its banks.

The silvery-white spiritual flames spread across the sky, transforming into a blazing sea of ​​fire, which then split into tens of thousands of giant swords of light and flame, each a hundred meters long.

"fall!"

As Shen Tian swung his right arm down, thousands of spiritual light swords, trailing long flames, struck every corner within a radius of thirty miles with pinpoint accuracy, like a swarm of missiles covering the area.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sixth and seventh-tier void monsters hiding in underground crevices and corners of ruins didn't even have time to escape before their bones were pierced by the spiritual lightsaber.

The flames ignited the void matter within them, and mournful roars rose and fell as the skeletons of the monsters collapsed one after another in the firelight.

In just a few seconds, the monsters within a radius of thirty miles were forcibly cleared out.

The battle ended, and the world returned to deathly silence.

Hundreds of dazzling red lights, like a meteor shower rising in reverse, roared in from all directions, rushing into Shen Tian's body.

In particular, the enormous red light belonging to the eighth-order bone spider caused a pleasant tremor to occur in the small world within Shen Tian's dantian.

In the distance, Ryan scrambled to his feet, looking around blankly.

This area was originally home to many low-level monsters, and he planned to use it to accumulate points after a short rest.

Now, the area within a radius of thirty miles is barren and so clean that you can't even find a flea.

Shen Tian withdrew his aura and gracefully landed in front of Ryan, a gentle and humble smile on his face, extending his hand to him:

"Ryan brothers, are you alright?"

Ryan looked at that sincere face and swallowed hard.

"We, the pride of humanity, should help and support each other."

Shen Tian patted his chest and said earnestly,

"I can't stand these Void monsters being so arrogant. This was just something I did on the spur of the moment, so don't feel guilty."

As soon as these words were spoken, the chat in the Blue Star global live broadcast room instantly went wild.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Shen Shen is absolutely right! To protect our foreign friends, he didn't even spare a low-level monster. It's so touching!"

"What the hell is this 'mutual assistance'? It's clearly 'Your kills are mine, and your minion waves are mine too'!"

"Ryan's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets. Everyone else was working themselves to the bone fighting that Nether Crocodile, and Shen Shen not only one-shotted an eighth-tier monster, but also swiped all of Ryan's welfare money!"

"Shen Shen is amazing! He can even steal monsters with such righteous indignation. I love it!"
