Algres felt a surge of horror in an instant, as if the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.
He hadn’t anticipated this at all.
Given the great distance between them, and amidst the grand battle with the Leviathan King Worm.
That Su Heng could actually spare the attention to detect their arrival—just what kind of monster was this.
Algres cursed in his heart, but Ryan’s reaction was even quicker; sensing the impending danger, his long sword was already unsheathed.
Swoosh!
He bent over and lunged forward on bended knees.
Accompanied by the screeching sound of the blade slicing the air, a silver-white light reflected on the flowing sword blade, colliding with the surge of light approaching from afar. Incredibly, the pure light was split by the long sword, scattering into more than a dozen arc-shaped rainbows on the sword edge.
They fell at rapid speed onto the surrounding mountains, followed by explosions amidst intense shaking.
Ryan flicked his wrist, sheathing the long sword back.
Before he could take a breath, a deep and urgent beeping noise came from the sky.
As a black speck of light rapidly enlarged, a shadow loomed, and dull gusts of wind pressed down on their heads and bodies; Su Heng’s colossal figure descended from the sky.
The expression on Ryan’s face remained unchanged.
His pupils turned even more somber, his spine straightened, exuding an unparalleled majesty.
"Open!"
He lightly pushed forward with his hand.
Countless emerald electric lights ignited densely around him.
At first dancing around like dragons and snakes, then converging together to form a semi-transparent barrier.
Following Ryan’s hand movement, it rapidly expanded outwards, colliding fiercely with Su Heng’s overbearing grand palm from above.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the earth shook and mountains trembled.
Even under Ryan’s protection, being swept by the aftershock,
Algres felt a heavy sensation in his chest, as if he couldn’t catch his breath.
At this moment, large pieces of broken stones and dust flew upward, defying gravity mid-air, until displaced by the white streams of air generated by the collision, the dust dispersed, revealing Su Heng’s towering figure that appeared in front of them. The aftermath of the previous explosion had cleared the sky.
The crimson sun hung behind Su Heng, as bright beams of light, like straight lines, radiated down from Su Heng’s majestic antlers and broad shoulders.
The air was filled with the distinctive fragrance of dried roses—a sensory illusion caused by intense radiation.
Crackling arcs of electricity spread at their feet, while distorted air formed black smoke around them.
Looking down from above, Su Heng said, "I originally thought it was just a couple of little mice that had come, but it turns out I’ve stumbled upon a big catch."
His gaze fell on Ryan, his mouth curving into a smile, "An unfamiliar face; state your name."
"The last Emperor of the Kaleen Dynasty, the Avenger, Ryan." The latter said with a slight smile, gracious, not panicked by Su Heng’s sudden attack.
Even under such circumstances, he maintained his dignity.
"King of Demon Descendants."
Su Heng nodded; he was well-versed in the records of Demon Descendants.
He naturally knew the weight the title carried, "If that’s the case, then you’re no nameless individual, worthy of being killed."
With that said—
Boom!
As Su Heng’s clenched fist rose high, a peal of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, gusts of wind scattered like drifting ribbons, howling in all directions, and the ground beneath them was rolled up layer by layer by this force, countless dust and stones crashing against the faces of Algres and Leon.
At this moment, Algres’s pupils constricted slightly, seeing the towering figure of Su Heng with a somewhat ethereal appearance.
His mind raced.
An unbelievable answer quickly came to his mind.
What had appeared before them did not seem to be Su Heng’s actual body.
But a condensed form of Spiritual Power, an overwhelming majesty enveloping everything, strong enough to distort the perception of Realm Lord fighters, such that it took him a moment to slowly realize.
But even if it wasn’t the actual body,
The oppressive feeling from pure Spiritual Power couldn’t be ignored.
Bang!
Seemingly slow but fast,
The earthshaking punch came down like a hammer strike.
Ryan’s cape fluttered, his expression solemn; with a flick of his wrist, his long sword shivered violently, as if engulfed by a storm. Within a brilliant flash of white light, he fiercely thrusted upwards. As they clashed through the air, a loud explosion reverberated, Su Heng’s figure remained immovable, while Ryan and Algres were like small boats in a terrifying wave, thrown violently away.
Before the two of them even landed, Su Heng’s next strike was already approaching.
Roar!
He opened his mouth wide.
Deep breath, followed by a roar.
The tumultuous airstream fell like a bomb, shattering mountains and kicking up dust, creating a crater hundreds of meters in diameter on the ground.
But as the dust gradually cleared, Algres and Leon had disappeared.
"The strength of the Northern Border Demon Dragon is indeed as legendary; we shall meet again in the future, farewell." In the pit, whisps of white fog lingered.
Ryan’s voice also followed.
Su Heng narrowed his eyes.
He spotted some scattered green leaves on the ground, but when he touched them with gravity,
they dispersed instantly and vanished into thin air.
There are clearly defined levels of strength in the Realm Lord Realm, mainly deriving from two aspects. The first is one’s own physical and spiritual power, including battle skills and mindset. The other aspect is the control over the Dao Path; the further one progresses on their path and the more Dao Paths they tread, the stronger their abilities.
Clearly...
According to the standards Su Heng had summed up,
Ryan was among the elites.
Just within a couple of exchanges, Su Heng had sensed more than one Dao Path technique from him.
Moreover, both his physical might and spiritual power were refined to a considerably strong standard.
"It’s a pity." If it had been his true self in person, there might have been a chance to keep both, but a hastily condensed spiritual entity has already reached its limit.
In fact, Su Heng felt that if the battle continued, this incarnation of his would likely not be a match for Ryan.
The reason the other party left directly,
on one hand, was that continuing the battle was meaningless.
On the other hand, they were not yet ready and afraid to confront Su Heng’s true self under such circumstances.
What surprised Su Heng a bit was that, although he had been in seclusion for some time, he had not slacked in collecting intelligence about the outer world through Li Hongxiu’s means. When he left the Blood Realm, he still specifically asked if there was any news related to the Demon Descendants, and Li Hongxiu’s answer was no.
Yet this guy popped up out of nowhere.
"But then again, this is the ancestral land where the Demon Descendants have lived for several hundred thousand years. Even if they have left for a long time, it’s normal to leave some backups."
Su Heng thought of the Four Immortal Mountains and the hired hands.
After all these years, the Demon Descendants have never truly left this land.
...
"Huff..."
Deep within the Mythical Battlefield, Su Heng slowly lowered the wings that had been shielding him.
He opened his eyes, and his vision was blurry, partly because his own visual perception was impaired. The other part of the reason was the intense explosion pulverized all the mountains and rocks on the ground into a fine white ash, which now rose in fluffy columns as the temperature in the sky increased.
From afar...
It looked like massive mushrooms blooming from the ground.
The scene was flat, the sky clear, and the ground was fine and soft to touch, if not for the residual radiation in the air that could instantly vaporize a living person, this would be considered a vast and magnificent landscape.
After a few breaths, Su Heng’s perception recovered.
A tide-like stinging pain came from all over his body, his scales burst open, his flesh blurred. His organs, which had been enhanced dozens of times, couldn’t withstand the heat released by the overload operation of the Sun Furnace and melted in an unprecedented outburst. Su Heng destroyed the Leviathan King Worm, but also destroyed himself in the same explosion.
It was a tug-of-war gamble with life at stake, cruel and ruthless, both parties pushing their powers to the limit.
Fortunately, in the end, Su Heng was the more skilled.
He could still stand.
Although his body was exhausted and his flesh melted, looking from afar like a volcano spent after violent eruption,
he was still alive, whereas the Leviathan King Worm was dead.

The latter’s life force and talents would become a feast for Su Heng, and the abundant nutrients contained within were sure to push him to a new level of life.
As for his own injuries...
Indeed they were a bit severe.
But with Su Heng’s current life force, as long as he was still alive with enough nutrients for replenishment,
he would be able to recover rapidly. Even if the Sun Furnace was damaged, it was not a big problem; it was merely a matter of expending a bit more nutrients for repairs.
With such thoughts in mind, Su Heng had already begun to rapidly break down the accumulated contents of the Flesh Furnace. As a large amount of nutrients were absorbed through the digestive system into the bloodstream, and with the slow and heavy beating of his heart, the blood circulated throughout his body, his wounds healed at an incredible pace.

The heartbeat grew faster, like the drumbeat of a giant summoning war.
Broken and melted blood vessels extended and repaired themselves; blood flowed faster, and bones were secured back into place by strong muscles, new scales covered his blurred flesh. After a while, Su Heng was reborn, looking majestic and ferocious just from the exterior, even though he had simply recovered an empty shell, basic movements were no longer hindered.
Even if Ryan and the other Demon Descendant burst back on the scene right now, Su Heng could handle it with his current condition.
Su Heng’s mood gradually became excited.
The most dangerous phase had passed smoothly, and now it was time to collect the spoils of war.
