Translator: 549690339
Deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, more than 3000 kilometers in, on a mountainside.
Boom!
A five-meter-long red knife Qi exploded, causing the ground to collapse. It tore a massive crack, ten meters long and half a meter wide, in the earth like a real knife.
Boom!
The red blade light surged again in the sky filled with dust, shattering the surrounding grass and trees within tens of meters. The rampant Sword Qi forced the white figure to retreat dozens of feet.
In the violent wind, the burly Ethan Polis held a two-meter-long combat knife, his eyes filled with anger, as he stared at the white-robed young man on a branch dozens of meters away.
“Classmate, we don’t have any grievances or hatred, so it’s rather despicable for you suddenly to attack me out of the blue, don’t you think?”
Ethan Polis was full of anger in his heart. After all, anyone would be angry if they were suddenly attacked while cultivating.
At this moment, his body was shrouded with bluish scale armor, emitting a halo. The boiling True Strength outside his body compressed the surrounding air into a violent wind, creating a formidable aura.
The white-robed youth stood leisurely on the branch with his hands behind his back, responding indifferently, “First, I’m not your classmate. Second, I attacked you face-to-face, so it’s not a sneak attack.”
“You’re not a classmate… Are you a member of the military?” asked Ethan Polis, a frown on his brow.
Due to the unique circumstances of the Alien Beast Battlefield, it took him a while to ponder the identity of the outsider.
Moreover, Ilisa Wesley appeared to be between eighteen and nineteen years old, quite young. Consequently, Ethan Polis nearly mistook him for a student from another Martial Height.
Ilisa Wesley replied indifferently, “Identity isn’t important. The fact that you’ve achieved the Peak of the Fifth Layer of Heaven at this age shows your talent is not bad. Take this move.”
Boom!
Before Ethan Polis had even spoken, a bright sun illusion appeared in Ilisa Wesley’s eyes. With his terrifying Fully-formed Will, the sky changed in color in an instant, and behind him manifested a round sun.
Ethan Polis exclaimed in astonishment, “Fully-formed Will illuminating the Heaven and Earth… How is this possible!”
Boom!
As Ilisa Wesley slapped his palm out, the Heavenly Energy within tens of meters exploded, creating a booming wave that formed a burning empty sun.
As the scorching light passed by, the trees instantly turned into flying ashes, as if the annihilating sun had come to destroy all life on earth.
Ethan Polis roared angrily, a surge of enormous will erupting from his body. With shining cyan and gold light, a huge tiger formed behind him.
However, compared to Ilisa Wesley’s Fully-formed Will, Ethan Polis’s gigantic tiger, formed from a fusion of will and True Strength, was merely an illusion.
The White Tiger roared and carried the Knife Qi in its mouth, growing to more than twenty meters in size. It charged toward the sun like a sixth-level Hegemony Tiger, attempting to tear the sky apart.
Boom! The white tiger was instantly engulfed by the sun, and as it dissipated, a violent wind swept through the range of tens of meters around it.
The sun that had swallowed the white tiger rushed down from the sky, engulfing Ethan Polis, who was charging up with his knife held high.
Boom!
The Heaven and Earth trembled as the ground broke apart, and a large swath of trees collapsed in all directions under the impact of the sun’s fiery explosion. Smoke and dust spread everywhere.
When the dust finally settled, a huge empty area appeared in the middle of the forest.
This area featured a crater with a diameter of twenty meters, surrounded by numerous circular gears.
At the bottom of the pit, the light from Ethan Polis’ battle armor had dimmed, and many gear-like cracks appeared on the tough armor, as if it had met countless sharp gears.
Even the battle armor on his arms was in tatters, revealing his bloodied limbs.
In addition, more than half of the armor on his face had shattered, revealing half of his face smeared with blood and revealing disbelief.
As the first student of the Southern Battlefield and the first on the Achievement List, how could he be defeated by a young man with Late-Stage Fifth Layer Heaven in a single move!?!
“I originally thought a genius worthy of my shot had appeared amongst the Human Race, but it turns out they’re so weak,” said the white-robed youth as he slowly retracted his palm, looking somewhat bored.
“Achieving the Peak of Fifth Layer Heaven at the age of eighteen, your talent is already considered exceptional. Yet, you foolishly hoped to comprehend the Tiger Hegemon’s intent and break through by borrowing the battle armor made from Tiger Hegemon scale armor and a weapon forged from tiger bones.”
“Ultimately, things outside of yourself can only help so much. Even if you temper the battle armor and weapon three rounds ahead of time, what grows stronger will always be the armor and weapons, not your own will.”
“In order to manifest your will and break through the sixth level, you need to have an absolute belief of being unparalleled. You are a human, after all, not a Hegemony Tiger!”
As the indifferent voice faded away, the white-robed youth disappeared, leaving an injured and weakened Ethan Polis standing there.
“The absolute belief in being unparalleled… I am human, not a Hegemony Tiger…”
“So, I’ve been on the wrong path all this time.”
As he whispered, a powerful will surged within Ethan Polis’s body, faintly forming a colossal White Tiger. The Tiger’s imposing aura was immense.
Moreover, a green flame suddenly ignited on his body.
“Hahaha… I broke through! I broke through!” Despite his severe injuries and weakness, Ethan Polis let out delighted laughter.
Because he was the first in the Southern Region to break through to the Sixth Layer and did so by manifesting his will.
Although he was defeated today, this would not affect his future fame throughout the Southern Battlefield.
But at that moment, a pitch-black sharp blade appeared silently behind Ethan Polis. The breath on the blade was dark and obscure, seeming to come from the past and the future simultaneously.
Thump!
The blade silently pierced through the battle armor, and the smile on Ethan Polis’s face froze as he stared in disbelief at the blade’s tip protruding from his chest.
With a whoosh, black flames engulfed the blade. As the fire flickered, Ethan Polis’s True Strength, spirit, and will began to dissipate at a horrifying rate.
Thump! Ethan Polis’s emaciated corpse lay on the ground.
Only then did a puddle of black shadows slowly rise from the ground, followed by a figure shrouded in a black robe. From under the mask, a hoarse voice emerged..
