"An Emperor Realm expert cannot save your dog life either!" Ethan sneered.

He transformed into a bolt of black lightning and pierced straight through the Ice Dragon.

The beast shattered on impact. A sky full of ice dust rained down like crystalline snow.

Ethan tore through space, arriving before Lucien in the blink of an eye.

"What Moonfall Clan Holy Son? Nothing but a stray dog!"

As Ethan swung the God Killing Spear, he didn't forget to hurl insults.

Every word pierced the heart. Lucien's face twisted savagely, rage boiling through him as he teetered on the brink of total madness!

"Kid, do you think this old man does not exist?!"

The Moonfall Clan Ancestor's voice arrived once more. But this time, it wasn't just a voice. An earth-shattering divine power attack came roaring alongside it.

"Shit!" Ethan cursed upon seeing this.

The attack of an Emperor Realm expert was incredibly swift and fierce. Ethan's perception could barely keep up with its speed.

"God Killing Spear, go!"

He made a prompt decision, directly changing his attack target.

He hurled the God Killing Spear, sending it charging straight toward the incoming divine power attack. But he didn't retreat. Instead, he charged at Lucien once more!

He only needed the spear to block for a single instant. One heartbeat of time, and he would have the chance to forcefully kill Lucien. At the very least, he could heavily injure him!

Swoosh!

Onyx Orchid's second-stage amplification power brought Ethan's combat strength to an unprecedented height.

At this moment, he was completely stronger than Lucien.

Ethan suddenly abandoning his long spear to charge barehanded caught Lucien completely off guard.

This was a suicidal move!

This lunatic was betting his life, attempting to forcefully kill Lucien before the Ancestor's attack could land!

"Despicable! Do you think you are worthy of trading your life for mine?!" Lucien roared furiously, sweeping his long spear horizontally.

But his speed was clearly a fraction slower than Ethan's.

Ethan dodged sideways, evading the spear, and slashed out with his sword. A sharp whistling sound tore through the air. Brilliant silver sword light engulfed Lucien instantly!

At the same time, the God Killing Spear was blasted away by the terrifying divine power.

That attack, still retaining immense might, passed through space and arrived right in front of Ethan in an instant.

And at this moment, Ethan had only just executed his slash. He hadn't even managed to retract his stance!

"Truly an Emperor Realm expert. An attack from such a great distance is still this terrifying!"

Ethan's expression turned grave.

He abruptly retracted his sword and retreated, attempting to dodge the Moonfall Clan Ancestor's incoming strike.

Although this attack had been partially blocked by the God Killing Spear, the remaining might was still incomparably terrifying. Simply not something an ordinary Perfect Supreme could match, let alone Ethan, who was merely at the peak of the Upper Supreme realm!

As Ethan retreated madly, that streak of icy divine power followed closely behind.

The distance between them closed rapidly.

The icy divine power was incredibly sharp. The fluctuations it emitted made Ethan's scalp tingle.

He was highly confident in his physical strength and defensive capabilities. But if struck by this move, suffering severe injuries would be getting off lightly.

"Celestial Prism Dharma Body!"

With a single thought, a thirty-foot-tall giant appeared behind him.

The giant's appearance was identical to Ethan's. Translucent, flowing with a seven-colored radiance across its massive frame.

The toughness of the Celestial Prism Dharma Body far exceeded Ethan's physical body. It was the absolute best choice for defense.

At the same time, Ethan mobilized the star power within his body.

Majestic star power poured into the Celestial Prism Dharma Body, making its surface shine brighter and brighter until it resembled a massive jade colossus.

The very first impression it gave was unmistakable. This giant was incredibly impenetrable.

"Pure Azure Flame!"

Fiery divine power surged out from within Ethan, madly compressing and condensing to form a layer of flaming armor that attached itself to the Dharma Body.

"Star Power!" Ethan roared inwardly.

Star power welled up from inside the Celestial Prism Dharma Body, condensing yet another layer of defense outside the flaming armor.

Immediately after, the Hibiscus Heart on Ethan's right side frantically pumped out surging power, injecting it into the Dharma Body.

At this moment, Ethan had pulled out all the stops to block the Emperor Realm expert's attack.

Of course, he still possessed two powerful life-saving trump cards: the Chaos Clock and a mark left within his body by the Sacred Hibiscus Tree.

The situation looked critical, but there was no need to use them yet. Especially the mark left by the Sacred Hibiscus Tree. This was the key to finding the sliver of origin the Hibiscus Tree had lost. Unless absolutely necessary, he would definitely not use it.

"Ah~!"

A tragic scream tore through the battlefield.

It came from Lucien.

The intent from Ethan's final slash was simply too sharp and ferocious.

It shattered Lucien's protective divine power to pieces. The intent broke through his last line of defense, slashing straight toward his face.

Right at that critical moment, the space behind him suddenly shattered.

A large hand reached out from within, grabbed the back of his collar, and violently yanked Lucien backward.

That single pull saved his life.

Although Lucien avoided being struck in a vital spot, he didn't completely dodge the razor-sharp intent. The blade of light slashed down through his shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, his left arm, along with his shoulder, was cleanly severed!

Lucien's agonized scream echoed through the night sky, swirling and lingering for a long time.

He hurriedly released icy divine power to purge the invading energy at his wound and froze the stump to stop the bleeding, simultaneously swallowing several pills to heal.

But before he even had time to retrieve his severed arm, it was pulverized into dust by Ethan's sharp sword light.

Already in agonizing pain and filled with rage, seeing his arm destroyed made Lucien so furious his lungs nearly exploded. His vitality backflowed, and he spewed out a mouthful of thick blood.

"Calm down!"

A deep, resonant voice rang out, and that broad hand pressed onto Lucien's shoulder. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

A gentle power flowed into his body, helping heal his wounds and soothing his volatile emotions.
