"Exhilarating!"
Yang Ding Tian slowly stood up, his face alight with an even more frenzied grin.
He let out a resounding roar of satisfaction.
Ignoring his injuries entirely!
Then, his entire body trembled, his disheveled hair flying. The burnt scales on his body rapidly shed, and new black scales regenerated.
A vast and terrifying primal force once again emanated from within him, sweeping across the entire world.
A momentary setback had not defeated him.
Instead, it had proven to be a blessing in disguise, his cultivation breaking through once more.
Now, he was a genuine Heaven King Realm Seventh Layer expert!
The highest cultivation level in the entire Emperor Tomb world!
With the enhancement of the Demonic Dragon Overlord Body, his strength was said to be infinitely close to the Heaven King Realm Ninth Layer!
If not for Xu Chuan, he would have been the uncrowned king of this Emperor Tomb!
"What? A breakthrough mid-battle? What kind of monstrous talent is this?!"
"A Heaven King Realm Seventh Layer, coupled with this battle-hardened physique, Xu Chuan is in for a tough fight!"
"The great era is upon us! Countless monstrous talents are born with it!"
Yang Ding Tian's miraculous survival stunned the fleeing martial artists, who exclaimed in disbelief, unable to trust their own eyes.
He had been gravely wounded by Xu Chuan's blade, yet, by sheer coincidence, he had broken through!
And with the breakthrough, not only were his injuries completely healed, but his strength had also surged instantly!
This left them uncertain of the situation.
Xu Chuan had clearly held the upper hand, but now…
"Xu Chuan, I truly must thank you!"
"Without you, I don't know how much longer it would have taken me to break through!"
Yang Ding Tian, his upper body bare, stared at Xu Chuan with killing intent blazing in his eyes, uttering these words one by one!
Just moments ago, Xu Chuan's blade and the terrifying flames had made him truly feel the brink of death.
And it was under the threat of this death that he had found a glimmer of hope for survival!
In an instant, his cultivation broke through!
His strength ascended to another level.
Furthermore, the Demonic Dragon Overlord Body had been completely activated!
At this moment, his demonic blood surged madly, craving bloodshed.
And Xu Chuan before him was undoubtedly the best choice!
Even, after killing Xu Chuan, he might advance further!
Reaching the Heaven King Realm Eighth Layer directly!
A Heaven King Realm Eighth Layer at such a young age was considered top-tier throughout the entire Xuanyuan.
"To properly repay you!"
"Today, I will send you on your way!"
Yang Ding Tian flashed a cruel smile and said fiercely.
Xu Chuan's previous attacks, while aiding his breakthrough, had inflicted genuine pain!
It was the first time in many years that he had experienced such a sensation.
Therefore,
He decided that he would make Xu Chuan experience it thoroughly as well!
Experience what cruelty was, what pain was!
He wanted Xu Chuan to wish he were dead!
The more he thought about it, the more ferocious his smile became.
Everyone else, witnessing this, retreated far away.
The true battle was about to begin!
Who would emerge victorious was yet unknown, but the ensuing battle would undoubtedly shock everyone!
However, in the face of Yang Ding Tian's taunts, Xu Chuan's expression remained unchanged.
His pronouncements couldn't even stir the slightest emotional fluctuation in Xu Chuan.
He was merely a newly ascended Heaven King Realm Seventh Layer, after all.
He hadn't killed such a person before!
Now that he had broken through to the Heaven King Realm, he had even less reason to fear Yang Ding Tian!
"A waste is still just a waste!"
"No matter how much you break through, it cannot hide the fact that you are a waste!"
Xu Chuan mocked.
"I hope you can remain this defiant when you're about to die!"
Xu Chuan's words further ignited Yang Ding Tian's fury.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, his voice low, and spoke.
As his voice fell, he raised his right hand again and roared.
"Ascending Dragon Fist!"
*Whoosh!*
Accompanied by a piercing sound, terrifying black primal force erupted from Yang Ding Tian's body, transforming him into a humanoid black dragon.
This was the ultimate form of the Demonic Dragon Overlord Body!
In this state, all his attributes would increase manifold.
He transformed into a black lightning bolt, his fist clenched, and charged towards Xu Chuan.
He was determined to achieve a single, decisive blow!
On one hand, it was to regain the face he had just lost.
On the other hand, it was to show everyone present that he was the strongest!
What was Xu Chuan? In his presence, there was only death!
"Is this all you've got?"
Upon seeing Yang Ding Tian's attack, Xu Chuan's face revealed disappointment.
He had initially thought the opponent's breakthrough would make him much more formidable, but this was it?
"If this is all you can do, then you can die!"
Xu Chuan said coldly.
He then grabbed the Town Prison Demonic Blade and slashed forward ferociously.
"Godslayer!"
With a single strike, killing intent erupted.
The already dark red Town Prison Demonic Blade deepened in color at this moment.
Killing intent and malevolent energy intertwined, transforming into a ten-thousand-meter-long blade that spanned the entire Emperor Tomb world.
Wielded by Xu Chuan, it carried an endless destructive aura as it slashed down.
During this process, the rate of the Emperor Tomb world's collapse accelerated!
Wherever the blade passed, numerous spatial rifts appeared.
Terrifying void storms raged.
This strike was like a world-ending blade, poised to annihilate everything!
Where it passed, life was extinguished, and no one could escape.
Everything, unable to withstand this blade, was shattered and turned into nothingness.
Those who witnessed this scene were filled with boundless dread, fear sweeping over them once more.
"He's even stronger! The strength he's displaying now is far greater than before!"
"How much strength has he been hiding? Why can't I see through him at all?"
"He is an enemy not to be crossed!"
"Flee!"
Various cries arose in succession, but without exception, they were all shocked by Xu Chuan's blade.
Why had such a monstrous talent been born in Xuanyuan?
Under Xu Chuan's shadow, countless prodigies would experience a lifetime of lingering fear!
*Boom!*
In the blink of an eye, the blade had descended, unleashing its terrifying power.
Without any obstruction, it struck Yang Ding Tian, who had charged forward.
The black dragon he had transformed into, his fist intent, his primal force.
Under this single blade, there was no room for resistance; all were severed and destroyed!
A vast energy shockwave rapidly spread.
"Holy Son!"
The people of the Three Suns Sacred Land cried out in horror, their eyes bulging, unable to believe what they were seeing!
Yang Ding Tian, who had been so spirited just moments ago, couldn't even withstand a single strike from Xu Chuan!
What had happened?
They dared not believe their eyes.
But the facts were before them: Yang Ding Tian was no match for Xu Chuan's blade!
When the energy dissipated.
Yang Ding Tian's figure reappeared before everyone.
At this moment, he was no longer the powerful and confident man he had been before.
Under this blade, although he had survived,
His arms were severed cleanly by Xu Chuan's strike.
His incredibly strong Demonic Dragon Overlord Body had also been shattered.
Even his Qi sea had been split in half by this blade.
He knelt before Xu Chuan, disbelief filling his eyes.
"Impossible…"
"How could I lose?"
"How could I lose to you…"
He finally murmured.
"There is no impossible."
"In front of me, you are no different from an ant!"
"The only reason you are still alive is entirely due to my mercy!"
"Now, it is time to send you on your way!"
