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

The broadsword, carrying terrifying power, drew a long trail of sparks across the trident shaft before finally slicing into Cyrus's shoulder armor.

"roar!"

Cyrus cried out in pain, and his massive body tumbled backward.

His thick python tail whipped out a visible sonic boom cloud in mid-air, slamming hard onto the sea surface and using the recoil to create a distance of over a thousand meters.

Looking down, Cyrus's prized deep blue scales were neatly cut open.

Blood gushed out.

The edges of the wound had an eerie grayish-white color.

That gray-black aura of death seemed to have a life of its own, drilling into his blood vessels and extinguishing his vitality.

Ryan gripped the sword with both hands.

The armor shimmered with dazzling golden light.

The surrounding forces of heaven and earth surged violently.

Both being at the peak of the seventh rank, they were already able to draw upon immense heavenly power.

Cyrus roared with his blood-red mouth wide open, and suddenly raised his arms high.

The endless sea below was like a powder keg that had been ignited, boiling over completely.

Tens of thousands of tons of seawater surged into the sky.

In mid-air, it eventually transformed into nine dark blue water dragons, each a hundred meters thick.

Nine water dragons roared, stretching across the sky, surging with a chilling aura as they pounced.

Faced with this overwhelming offensive.

Golden Radiance burst forth, like a rising sun, illuminating an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

The heavy broadsword was raised from bottom to top.

The raging power of heaven and earth converged along the sword, instantly drawing out a crescent-shaped golden sword beam three hundred meters long, which slammed into the foremost heavy water tap.

Boom—!

Golden light and dark blue light clashed wildly in the sky before exploding with a deafening roar.

The moisture swept outwards like a white tsunami, dispersing all the surrounding clouds.

Ryan didn't pause at all.

He charged straight into the curtain of water, his figure like an interceptor missile launched from its barrel, bracing himself against the falling icy water droplets.

Cyrus charged forward, wielding his trident.

The halberd tip spun in mid-air, transforming into a vortex with a diameter of over a hundred meters.

when!when!when!when!

In the short span of almost a breath, the broadsword and the trident collided hundreds of times in mid-air.

Each collision produced a deafening roar.

The shockwave caused ripples to spread across the air below.

The immense impact transformed into a gale, carving craters into the sea surface.

The sword's colored light clashed endlessly with the deep blue water.

The speed of those two figures exceeded the dynamic visual capture limit of ordinary martial artists. Only a dozen or so afterimages could be seen shuttling between the clouds, and space was distorted wherever they passed.

With Shen Tian's [Divine Authority] blessing him, Ryan's combat power surpassed his own limits.

After a fight, both of them sustained injuries of varying degrees.

A purple-gold light shimmered at Ryan's wound.

In less than two seconds, the torn muscle fibers reconnected, the wound visibly healed, and no scars were left.

Ryan twisted his waist and exerted force, delivering a powerful knee strike that slammed into Cyrus's chest like a heavy hammer.

boom!

A tremendous force, weighing tens of thousands of tons, erupted.

Cyrus was sent flying backward, and at the same time, the hard, barbed scales on his chest cracked extensively.

Even more deadly was that the grayish-white deathly aura, like maggots clinging to bones, once again seeped into his body in large gulps.

The two were separated by force, sliding backwards for thousands of meters in mid-air before colliding again with even more violent momentum.

In the endless sea.

Given that their respective cultivation levels are roughly the same, Cyrus, being a member of the Abyss Sea Clan, has the advantage.

The power of heaven and earth that Cyrus summoned was indeed immense, and he knocked Ryan away several times in succession.

This caused Ryan to suffer a serious injury.

but.

Meaningless.

Inside Ryan's body was like an inextinguishable furnace.

Each injury heals completely in a very short time.

Moreover, this intense life-or-death pressure fueled Ryan's fighting spirit even more.

As one side gains and the other loses, the other gains.

Thirty minutes of intense attrition warfare have passed.

The situation has visibly tilted.

Cyrus's breathing became extremely heavy.

The injuries accumulated from the death energy erupted completely at this moment.

The vitality was destroyed, the true meaning of martial arts was weakened, and the normal flow of the power of heaven and earth was severely blocked.

Strength is dwindling.

"Damn it!"

"What kind of power is this?!"

A wave of panic washed over Cyrus.

Ryan did not respond.

The power of heaven and earth within several kilometers seemed to be summoned by some supreme authority, and it poured madly into his heavy broadsword.

Ryan gripped the sword hilt upside down with both hands and raised it high above his head.

The golden power of the Radiant Abyss was compressed to an extreme degree, and the broadsword emitted a humming sound.

Under this extreme pressure and intense stimulation of life-or-death struggle.

Suddenly, a thunderous boom echoed in Ryan's mind.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the true meaning of martial arts underwent a transformation, breaking through that bottleneck.

It has been transformed into the origin of the laws!

We've overcome that hurdle.

The heavens and earth rapidly reorganized around Ryan, coalescing into a tangible force with specific rules.

That was his own law—the Law of Yaoyuan.

A golden beam of light, thousands of meters in diameter, pierced down from the depths of the sky, completely enveloping him.

The purple-gold blood and qi merged perfectly with the newly born power of the laws, resulting in a dramatic qualitative change that sent Ryan's aura soaring into the sky.

"No--!"

Cyrus sensed the crisis.

He went completely mad, burning away the last of his life essence, his thick python tail twisting wildly in mid-air.

A water sphere with a diameter of over a hundred meters condensed on the trident, attempting a final, desperate struggle.

"ruling."

Ryan's eyes turned pure gold, like those of a high and mighty god. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his sword.

The sword's edge tore through the air.

A pure gold sword beam, thousands of meters long, descended from the sky.

It was like a divine punishment descended by the gods, splitting the entire dark world in two.

Where the golden light passed, a dark crack was left in the space.

Cyrus roared, pushing his arms forward with all his might.

The water sphere, a hundred meters in diameter, met the terrifying sword light head-on.

boom!

The moment the two collided, the water sphere, like a fragile glass ball, was cleaved in two by the golden sword light.

The seawater inside was instantly evaporated into a cloud of white mist by the terrifyingly high temperature.

The sword's momentum remained undiminished, slashing fiercely at Cyrus's trident.

Click!

The incredibly hard, deep-sea iron halberd broke in half.

Cyrus's massive body suddenly froze, his eyes bulging and bloodshot.

Golden lines stretched from his forehead down to his thick python tail.

next second.

puff!

Cyrus's four-meter-long body was split in two.

Hot blood gushed out like a waterfall, but before it could even hit the sea, it was instantly swallowed up by the surging gray-white death energy from the wound.

The tattered flesh and blood turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, and were scattered by the wind into the raging sea.

As Cyrus died, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky.
