“Hahaha—!”
Amid the chaotic void, Kang Shiyuan stood atop his flying sword, controlling the massive skull as it crushed the strands of wood energy one by one before pressing down toward Tan Yun. His mocking laughter echoed endlessly.
“Tan Yun, I don’t know how you can control the powers of Time, Space, and Wood all at once… but your struggle is meaningless!”
“Just wait until I cripple you. I’ll make you wish you were dead! I’ll torture you slowly in front of every disciple of the Alchemy Sect!”
Faced with such vicious words, Tan Yun remained silent.
He had used wood energy—but it couldn’t stop the skull at all.
Of course… he had never expected it to. All he needed was to **buy time** to escape!
And in that split second when the wood energy was destroyed—it was already enough!
Tan Yun unleashed the “Primordial Divine Step,” his body arcing away from the Crouching Dragon Platform. Gripping the **Flame Dance** sword tightly, he roared inwardly:
“Death Abyss!”
Almost at the same instant—his figure shot upward to a height of over **1,000 feet**!
Tan Yun let out a cold laugh, his smile even more sinister than Kang Shiyuan’s.
“Kid… I’ll show you what true ‘Power of Death’ really is!”
As he spoke, Kang Shiyuan failed to notice—a tiny black speck, like a firefly, was shooting toward his back through the currents of space!
“Hah! You think you can use death energy against me? Ridiculous!” Kang Shiyuan laughed and shouted,
“Destroy it!”
“Crack! Crack!”
The giant skull in the lower air crushed all the remaining wood energy and charged toward Tan Yun once more!
At the same time—
The tiny black speck behind Kang Shiyuan expanded **1,000,000 times** in an instant!
It transformed into a massive black maw, like a bottomless abyss—and swallowed him whole!
“What is this technique?!”
Kang Shiyuan was utterly shocked as he found himself trapped inside a vortex with a diameter of **300 feet**!
Within that abyss-like domain, countless **1-foot**-long blades of death energy spun endlessly like a school of fish, filling the entire “Death Abyss”!
Even more terrifying—within the Ancient God-Slaying Formation, the power of each blade was amplified by **11 times**!
They surged toward Kang Shiyuan like a frenzy!
“AAARGH! No… NO!!”
His screams of agony sent chills down the spine!
Even at full speed, his movement was far too slow compared to the countless blades!
In a single instant—his flesh was torn apart!
His body resembled a blood-soaked butterfly with shattered wings, blood spraying into the abyss as white bones were exposed!
“Detonate it!”
Kang Shiyuan roared in despair!
At once—the **100-foot** giant skull that had been charging at Tan Yun abruptly changed direction, carrying world-destroying force as it slammed violently into the “Death Abyss”!
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—RUMBLE!”
The mountain-like skull shattered upon impact with the edge of the abyss—like an egg hitting stone!
In that instant, Kang Shiyuan inside suffered the most violent backlash of his life!
Though his face had little flesh left to show expression, the blood-filled eyes revealed unbearable pain!
“Disperse!”
Tan Yun waved his hand—in a blink, the “Death Abyss” vanished from the chaotic void as if it had never existed!
Kang Shiyuan, on the brink of death, trembled violently, his breathing ragged as he fell from the Crouching Dragon Platform!
With injuries like this—if he hit the ground, he would surely die!
At that moment, a stream of spiritual energy shot from Tan Yun’s palm like silk, binding Kang Shiyuan’s body and lowering him gently onto the platform.
“Whoosh—”
A faint breeze passed—
Tan Yun appeared before Kang Shiyuan, looking down coldly.
Kang Shiyuan forced his heavy eyelids open. His face twitched grotesquely, eyes filled with hatred. His voice was weak, yet his words were vicious to the extreme:
“Tan Yun… if you have the guts, kill me! I curse you to die miserably! And I curse that the women you love will be violated and—”
“Crack!”
Kang Shiyuan’s voice was cut off instantly—
As Tan Yun’s foot slammed down onto his cheek, forcing his jaw open. His mouth hung wide, unable to close, leaving him to produce only muffled, incoherent sounds!
“Kid… that old Sacred Spirit geezer sent you to kill me, didn’t he? Fine—I’ll give him a ‘gift’ he’ll never forget!”
Tan Yun’s face twisted with fury as he spoke in an icy tone:
“You can insult me—I don’t care. Trash like you isn’t worth my attention.”
“But the worst mistake you made… was insulting my women!”
“I promise you—your death will be utterly miserable. Get ready to experience it!”
The moment his words fell—
Tan Yun withdrew the Primordial Divine Sword, **Flame Dance**, back into his soul through the space between his brows. With a flick of his hand, he grabbed the flying sword Kang Shiyuan had dropped on the ground!
Clenching his teeth—
He drove the sword straight into Kang Shiyuan’s mouth!
“Crack!”
The sound of bone shattering rang out as teeth and tongue were crushed before Kang Shiyuan’s agonized eyes!
“Ah… AHHH…”
Tan Yun lifted his foot from his face, his gaze cold and calculating.
“I crippled him in less than **15 minutes**… Anyone who saw that would know I’m stronger than them.”
His eyes narrowed slightly as he let out a faint scoff.
“Fine… let all my enemies be afraid!”
“Sacred Spirit old dog… your karma has arrived!”
With that—
Tan Yun immediately dispelled the “Ancient God-Slaying Formation”!
---
At the same time—
On the mountain peak, everyone stared in shock at the collapsing formation!
The battle between Tan Yun and Kang Shiyuan had only just begun… and it was already decided!?
How was that possible!?
Both of them were incredibly powerful—how could it end so quickly?!
On the jade tower, Shen Subing and the Sacred Spirit Daoist both clenched their fists tightly in tension.
The disciples of the Alchemy Lineage and the Sacred Spirit Lineage were the same—their hearts nearly stopped!
Under everyone’s gaze—
The Ancient God-Slaying Formation began to break apart piece by piece, like a dying flame… until it completely vanished!
When the crowd finally saw the scene on the Crouching Dragon Platform—
They froze—then gasped sharply!
After a brief silence—
Shouts, cries, and exclamations of shock erupted all at once!
“Look! This is unbelievable! In such a short time, Tan Yun actually defeated Kang Shiyuan!”
“How is that possible?! A disciple from the Alchemy Lineage is this strong?! Not even Tai Shan could match him—and Kang Shiyuan still lost!”
“Ah… sob… Senior Brother Kang!”
“No… how could this be?! He’s a peerless genius of the Sacred Spirit Lineage! How could he lose?!”
“Wow! Senior Brother Tan is incredible! He’s practically invincible!”
“Hahaha! Senior Brother Tan is undefeated! No one can match him!”
“That’s right! The number **1** spot will definitely belong to our Alchemy Lineage! Anyone who refuses to accept it—Senior Brother Tan will crush them! Gods in his way—he’ll kill gods!”
“…”
On the jade tower—
Tantai Xuanzhong stared at Tan Yun, his eyes shining with undisguised delight. He made up his mind—he must secure this young man as his son-in-law!
Shen Subing pressed her lips together, her slender body trembling slightly with excitement. Tears welled in her beautiful eyes—she was truly proud that Tan Yun belonged to the Alchemy Lineage!
In contrast—
The Sacred Spirit Daoist looked at his beloved disciple, who had been tortured until he was barely human—reduced to a near-dead skeleton…
Tears streamed down his face as he cried out in despair:
“NO!!”
