In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

Shi Geng moved lightly, his figure weaving gracefully among the beast shadows. Fist imprints and blade light burst forth alternately, each strike precisely shattering the Devouring Beast's spirit seed.

Blood and flesh fragments flew everywhere, and the Commander-level beings fell one after another, layer upon layer, turning into a pile of mangled remains.

Despite the sight, dozens of Dominator-level Devouring Beasts that had rushed from afar continued their relentless charge, filling the entire Black Tide region with their savage roars.

The entire Bai Yuekui squad, observing from above, wore solemn expressions as they watched the figure of the lone beast horde, single-handedly confronting a massive number of Dominator-level Devouring Beasts, filled with awe.

Looking towards the lighthouse, Charles saw the battle situation through the observation instruments. His face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were filled with a mixture of jealousy and shock.

Shi Geng's fighting spirit remained undiminished. He took the initiative to step forward and meet the subsequent beast tide, determined to use his overwhelming combat power to carve out a path that no one could stop in front of the entire Mana ecosystem.

Shi Geng abandoned fancy long-range attacks, using knife strikes, elbow strikes, punches, and knee strikes. Every move was fierce and domineering, every punch landing hard, and each strike was infused with the ultimate power.

The creatures clashed violently with the beast's hard bones, the dull, solid impacts echoing continuously, a thrilling and exhilarating battle of flesh against flesh.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the hundreds of Dominator-level Devouring Beasts were killed. The violent battle energy swept across several mountain peaks, carrying rubble and charred wood. The earth cracked open with deep ravines, and dust filled the sky, obscuring the sun.

The remaining Commander-level ferocity was greatly diminished. Gone was their previous fearless charging posture. They stopped and hesitated, growling warnings, and formed a battle formation, only daring to confront each other from a distance, not daring to rush forward and die again.

Shi Geng stood in the center of the battlefield, his armor gleaming with a cold silver light, and his weapon was surrounded by layers of sharp energy. His imposing aura was as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the sea, locking down the entire horde of beasts.

He lightly lifted his foot and took a step forward, the ground beneath his feet immediately sinking and cracking, an invisible force crushing down upon them. The huddled Devouring Beasts were instantly thrown into chaos, their bodies trembling instinctively, retreating in fear and unease.

Amidst the panic and commotion of the beast horde, a towering cloud of yellow sand suddenly billowed up from behind, and a powerful and ferocious aura far exceeding the level of a ruler exploded out, rushing straight towards Shi Gen.

Its colossal body, towering like a mountain, stands upright in a human-like posture that awes the surroundings. Its six massive arms are stretched out in a staggered pattern, with muscles bulging and every inch of its flesh exuding earth-shattering power.

The endless flow of eerie blue light around him swirled and churned, transforming into a strange miasma that clung to him, leaving a layer of cold, chilling crystal shell on the ground wherever it passed.

The ferocious aura swept across the entire area, and the muffled roar shook the heavens and earth. The remaining Dominator-level Devouring Beasts all bowed their heads and trembled, displaying the instinctive awe of inferiors facing superiors.

The six giant arms simultaneously gathered power and trembled, their dark blue light surging, carrying the force of collapsing mountains and splitting the earth, as they pounced straight at Shi Gen in the arena.

Seeing this, the remaining Dominator-level Devouring Beasts charged forward again, fearlessly, using the power of the monarch to surround and restrain Shi Gen, intending to trap and kill him.

Shi Geng focused his mind, his Abyss Warrior armor blazing with silver light, and he unleashed his full power, unleashing his full combat strength.

With a whirlwind of his long blade, he unleashed a flurry of sword flowers, his sharp energy crisscrossing and sweeping away all the attacking Commander-level enemies with a single sweep, clearing away the surrounding disturbances.

Then, he suddenly charged forward, facing the mountain's massive body head-on without dodging or avoiding, his single blade meeting the frenzied attack of six arms head-on. The clang of metal against metal rang out continuously, shockwaves rippled outwards, and the surrounding mountains trembled.

The azure miasma melted away rapidly upon contact with the armor's surface radiance, unable to penetrate its defenses at all.

After taking several heavy blows, the behemoth went completely berserk. The dark blue light around its body surged several times over, and its six arms merged to gather power, preparing a killing move, determined to fight Shi Gen to the death.

The king-level behemoth roared, its six giant arms intertwined and twisted together, and its body was filled with a frenzied blue energy that condensed into an energy sphere with a diameter of more than ten feet. Its evil pressure covered an area of ​​ten miles, and all the surrounding ruler-level beasts were blown into bloody mud by the aftershocks.

Shi Geng's eyes were cold and unwavering. The Abyss Warrior armor shone with a red light, and his entire power circuit was overloaded, unleashing its full power.

The broken blade in his hand gleamed with a blinding cold light, and countless tiny blade energies intertwined and condensed on the blade, all the killing power concentrated into a single point.

Without dodging or avoiding, he leaped straight to meet the destructive sphere of light. The moment his longsword slashed down, a silver blade of light that stretched across the sky burst forth, combining both strength and gentleness. The fragmented force dissipated and eroded layer by layer, and the domineering blade momentum directly pierced through the core of the dark blue energy.

A deafening explosion echoed through the mountains and fields, sending plumes of smoke and dust billowing in all directions, and the shockwave flattened vast swathes of forest. The violent shockwave, carrying clouds of dust, spread in all directions, and the battle suddenly reached a stalemate.

The King-level Devouring Beast has six arms that rotate in both offense and defense. Its dark blue energy is solid and heavy, and every strike carries the power to shatter mountains and shake peaks. Every move is a desperate struggle, with no mercy shown.

Shi Geng, dressed as a warrior of the abyss, wielded his long sword with effortless skill. The sword's power was unpredictable, its defense impenetrable and its attacks piercingly sharp.

The man and the beast fought with all their might, their strength, magic, and rhythm of attack and defense were all evenly matched, and they fought back and forth, unable to gain the upper hand, truly a draw.

The remaining Dominator-level Devouring Beasts dared not approach, only watching anxiously from the perimeter.

In the center of the battlefield, the energies collided and exploded repeatedly, and the silver and blue lights intertwined and clashed repeatedly, resulting in a stalemate and a deadly struggle with no clear winner.

The king-level six-armed warriors launched a series of fierce attacks, their azure energy gathering and dispersing intermittently. Sometimes they formed shields to block the blades, and other times they gathered their strength to unleash deadly attacks. Relying on their massive bodies, they endured the wear and tear, using a protracted battle to erode Shi Gen's combat power.

Shi Geng remained calm and composed, advancing and retreating with measured steps. His long sword combined strength and flexibility, swiftly slashing through attacks and heavily striking the body. He used his agile movements to maneuver and move around, not seeking quick victory, but steadily advancing.

With his mental energy continuously reinforcing the longsword, combined with the God of War-level combat power amplified by the Abyss, he neither revealed any weaknesses nor launched blind attacks.

Despite the behemoth's furious roars and relentless pressure, the armor's defenses remained impregnable. The two forces were locked in a stalemate, neither able to break through the other's lines.

The remaining rulers on the perimeter remained at a distance, not daring to interfere in the top-level battle, only letting out low growls as their own king's offensive rose and fell.

Bai Yuekui closely observed every detail of the attack and defense, and had already discerned the strength of both sides. He knew that it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short time, so he raised his hand to signal his team to remain still and continue to observe the situation.

Charles, watching from the lighthouse, was secretly delighted. Seeing the two sides locked in a fierce battle and constantly losing strength, he immediately ordered his men to prepare to reap the benefits.

On the battlefield, light and shadow intertwined violently, and the hard collisions shook the earth continuously, with the man and the beast locked in a deadly stalemate.

The man and the beast fought fiercely from day to night, and then from the deep darkness to the breaking of dawn.

The continuous roar echoed across the wilderness without ceasing, the collapsed ravines stretched across the land, and the broken mountain peaks were no longer recognizable.

The morning light was bleak amidst the desolate mountains and shattered fields, a testament to the desperate state of the battle, where all hope was lost.

The life essence of the king-level Devouring Beast burned away layer by layer, and the ghostly blue light flickered like a candle in the wind. Four of its six giant arms were forcibly severed, and the flesh at the cuts solidified and hardened, with no life essence left to regenerate.

Each swing of his two remaining arms was difficult and heavy, with his joints cracking and popping. He was only able to hold up his broken body with an indomitable, fierce determination, fighting like a cornered beast, refusing to retreat an inch.

On the other side, the red light of the Abyss Warrior armor dimmed slightly, its entire structure remained intact, and it was still as solid as a rock after days of fierce fighting, without the slightest damage.

However, Shi Gen inside was already at full capacity. The abundant genetic energy in his body was completely exhausted, and the continuous outpouring of mental energy had overdrawn his strength. His head was throbbing with pain, and he was feeling dizzy.

The surrounding beasts fell silent, lying prone on the ground, showing no further agitation.
