The airwaves spread in all directions, dust flying, the entire space trembling.

Vincent, under this tremendous force, retreated ten steps, each step causing the ground to crack. Yet his steps remained remarkably firm, without the slightest disorder, clearly relying on astonishing physical strength to stabilize his form.

In contrast, Lin Dong stood like a rock, firmly rooted in place, not even a corner of his clothes moved by the wind.

His gaze grew sharper, seemingly gaining a deeper understanding of Vincent’s strength from this strike.

On one side, Golden Buddha Kuerzan, witnessing this scene, was overwhelmed with indescribable shock.

He knew well, although he was a Golden Buddha, and his physical strength was top-notch among similar beings; yet in the clash with Lin Dong just now, he was directly blown away, spewing fresh blood, and the gap was evident.

Now, as Vincent transformed into the Blood Clan, his physical defense could withstand Lin Dong without falling behind, only retreating ten steps. This strength made him reflect:

"This Vincent, has reached such a level of physical defense? I once claimed to be the best in defense below Secondary Ancestor; now, it seems not even second can be maintained."

Kuerzan’s gaze shifted back and forth between the two, filled with complex emotions.

Previously, in terms of physical strength, he lost to Lin Dong convincingly.

So in his eyes, Lin Dong’s physical strength was the number one under Secondary Ancestor!

While he was second!

Yet now, seeing the situation between Vincent and Lin Dong, he realized he couldn’t even hold onto the throne of the second in physical defense.

Thinking this, he felt more than frustrated, but utterly disheartened.

"It seems I’ve no need to be here. Regardless of who wins in the end, I’m not a match."

"The Water Origin, I can no longer dispute over it."

Kuerzan sighed softly, his voice filled with helplessness and self-mockery.

He knew well, whether Lin Dong or Vincent transformed into "Blood Fool," they had long surpassed his capabilities.

This battle was destined from the start to make him only a spectator, not a participant.

A flash of unwillingness crossed Kuerzan’s eyes, but more was letting go.

He understood that the path of cultivation is always filled with variables, and cannot be forced.

And so, he made a decision, a decision allowing him to survive.

That was to leave this land of trouble.

Just as Kuerzan turned to go, from another side of the relic, the battle between Lin Dong and Vincent was already unfolding fiercely.

Lin Dong’s posture was agile, each punch carrying the momentum of a mountain and tsunami, while Vincent, or rather "Blood Fool," was like a bloodthirsty beast, exuding a dense bloody odor, his eyes crimson, seemingly able to devour everything.

"Indeed, you are slightly stronger than Blood Chen." Even in intense battle, Lin Dong maintained calm and composure, his voice penetrating the fist wind, clearly reaching Blood Fool’s ears.

This remark was undoubtedly an acknowledgement of Blood Fool’s strength.

The shock in Blood Fool’s heart deepened, as a Four-star Blood Emperor Peak existence, he could virtually walk horizontally within the same tier.

Faced with outstanding human martial artists, he could handle them easily. For their Blood Clan compared to human martial artists, had far superior advantages.

From birth, within their bloodline, they possessed far superior physical defense and strength against other races.

Simultaneously, their recovery ability was astonishingly frightening. Even a newborn baby in their Blood Clan had the tenacity of human martial artists, comparable to the resilience of a sect master.

Yet, the present Lin Dong made him feel an unprecedented threat.

He found that within the same tier, he was even far beyond their Blood Clan!

At the moment, Blood Fool had to activate his physical body to its strongest state to punch against Lin Dong.

Yet still ended up defeated.

This was simply an unbelievable event for him.

"You truly are a monster!" Blood Fool’s voice held admiration tinged with fear.

"If your strength reaches the Fourth Heaven Peak among human martial artists, it’s unimaginable how invincible you could be below Secondary Ancestor!"

His words contained acknowledgment of Lin Dong’s potential and concern for the Blood Clan’s future.

Thus, he decided, no matter what, today Lin Dong must be killed. He mustn’t continue to grow.

"When you reach the human martial artist’s Fourth Heaven, perhaps even the true Secondary Ancestor won’t be your match!"

"No, even if you reach the strength of Third Heaven, you could fight against Secondary Ancestor..."

Blood Fool grew more startled as the battle progressed, realizing this young man would be a formidable enemy for the Blood Clan in the future.

At the moment, the battle had entered a white-hot phase.

Blood Fool, this Four-star Blood Emperor Peak powerhouse, facing Lin Dong’s dominance, finally stopped holding back, deciding to use one of his most powerful moves - "Jiao Long Arm."

"Jiao Long Arm!"

Blood Fool roared, his voice full of wildness and madness.

He saw the flood dragon at his feet suddenly illuminate, and then, as if turning into a totem, carried endless majesty and power, directly flew into the body of Blood Fool.

Instantly, one of Blood Fool’s arms underwent a surprising transformation, a lifelike flood dragon coiling around, its scales shimmering, dragon eyes blazing, seemingly able to break forth and roam the heavens at any moment.

Even Lin Dong showed an expression of surprise at this change.

Though he also mastered the Dragon Transformation Skill, he had never seen such a peculiar usage, refining a flood dragon into the body, temporarily transforming it into an arm to battle; this undoubtedly was Blood Fool’s unique ultimate skill.

"So this is how you use the flood dragon?" Lin Dong murmured, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

This move not only greatly increased Blood Fool’s strength but also opened up a whole new combat approach for Lin Dong.

He imagined if it were an actual dragon, transforming into an arm, what astonishing power it would possess?

But he soon shook his head with a faint smile, after all, Dragon, that is a legendary existence, what he faced was merely a flood dragon.

Yet, even just a flood dragon, its power was awe-inspiring.

Blood Fool, in the state of Jiao Long Arm, punched out with a move called "Jiaolong Enters the Sea."

This punch seemed to embrace the power of the sea, surging out, causing even the firmament to change.

A shocking scene emerged before Lin Dong’s eyes.

He seemed to see a gigantic flood dragon, stirring the clouds and rain in the sea, swallowing the sun and moon, that endless pressure and power made him feel a tinge of trepidation.

He knew well that this punch was not something ordinary could endure.

But Lin Dong, when had he not been a formidable figure?

He took a deep breath, his eyes reflecting unyielding brilliance. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Facing Blood Fool’s ultimate skill, he did not flinch but prepared to counter with force.

"Very well, let me test my strongest physical defense."

With Earth Dao integrated into the Dragon Blood Holy Body, Lin Dong pondered where his physical defense’s limit could be.

Thinking of this, he remained unmoved, continuing to punch out, rising to the challenge.

"Six Harmonies Dragon Fist!"
