Overlord’s Will: Submit!!
Dela’s will and aura placed him at the apex of the food chain. Wherever he went, the natural environnt was influenced, spontaneously creating the most advantageous combat conditions for him.
Heaven and earth submitted to the Overlord’s blade.
BOOM!!!
A colossal fist, wreathed in the forces of nature, hurtled toward him with terrifying power.
This ti, it was Andy who was left struggling to block!
BANG!!
Imnse power exploded against his body. The force of the blow ruptured his skin, squeezing blood from his pores that shot out in all directions like sharp spikes.
His body tumbled across the ground, kicking up a thick cloud of dust. He was sent flying across the vast Combat Arena before crashing violently into the wall at its edge.
BOOM!!
The entire Combat Arena shook, sending stone fragnts flying. As the dust settled, Andy’s battered form was revealed.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. His once-neat hair was a ss, and his arms bore the distinct wounds from where blood had burst forth.
The world’s strongest rcenary. The man who overpowered Bai Jiu, who himself had defeated Baiyi. The one who claid the title of strongest on the Black Continent, and perhaps even the strongest in the world’s hidden depths...
This man...
The power he possessed was simply incomprehensible.
Perhaps no one in this world was closer to breaking the shackles that bind countless mortals.
A series of thoughts flashed through Andy’s mind. Through the dissipating dust, he saw the tall man walking slowly toward him, his body wreathed in a crimson aura that shimred like roiling flas.
He stood there as if he were the Sovereign of this world.
’Humans...’
’What strange and incomprehensible creatures they are.’
"What’s wrong? I expected more from you. You can’t be down for the count already! Are the Seven Mo Luo, who supposedly stand at the pinnacle of the world, just going to cower and tremble in a crater like beaten dogs?"
Dela drew closer, step by step. With each footfall, the very earth seed to pulse in rhythm with him.
On the high platform above the Life Fighting Arena, Anna, who had rushed over to watch, gazed at the figure in the center of the field. A peculiar glint flashed in her eyes.
It was like savoring the world’s finest wine; the intoxicating, soul-deep fragrance brought a crimson blush to her cheeks.
’That’s why, even though he seems so unreliable, he’s just... irresistible.’
’A beaten dog?’
Andy’s expression faltered for a mont upon hearing Dela’s words.
HAHAHAHAHA!!
Then, the corners of his bloodstained mouth curled into a grin as he let out a peal of manic laughter that shook the entire Life Fighting Arena.
SWOOSH!!
He shot out of the crater in the wall, his powerful fra landing upright as his eyes locked onto Dela.
"Humans are indeed an incomprehensible species."
"But from your perspective, are we not also beings beyond your comprehension?"
"For those like you, who have never broken free of your shackles and still stare up from the bottom of a well, you cannot possibly understand the true strength of the Bloodline and Talent we inherited from our Primordial Ancestor, who achieved a state of absolute transcendence!!"
Andy’s face twisted into a ferocious grin as he faced Dela.
"Driven mad already?"
"Then there’s no point in letting you live any longer."
Dela sighed, a trace of regret on his face, as if he hadn’t truly been able to enjoy the fight to its fullest.
"Mad?"
"Did you know? My ability isn’t limited to the outside world. Its greatest impact... is on myself."
"Silence. I can not only suppress positive states in the body, but I can also suppress negative ones. Because of this, you cannot even begin to imagine my true ability!"
Andy’s pupils changed. Faintly, Dela thought he saw sothing within them—a strange, lock-like structure resembling a human gene, suddenly snapping.
"Do you want to see what I’m like on a higher level?"
The smile on Andy’s lips beca utterly grotesque.
THUMP!!
At that very mont, his body was undergoing a transformation that defied all logic.
Dela’s eyes narrowed slightly.
First was his head. His skull seed to proliferate at a visible rate as the bone grew, forming two small lumps. The lumps burst open, and a pair of beastly, goat-like horns sprouted rapidly.
CRACK! CRACK!
At the sa ti, the bones throughout his body were also undergoing a transformation.
His coccyx pierced the skin at the base of his spine, extending segnt by segnt to form a skeletal tail, not unlike that of a scorpion.
His arms elongated unnaturally, his knuckles bulged, and his hands reford into sothing like bony claws. His entire fra expanded, more than doubling in size.
Veins bulged across his body as muscles as tough as steel rebar coiled and knotted, radiating explosive power.
In an instant, he had seemingly transford from a human into a goat-horned Demon.
’What in the world is this...?!!’
On the high platform, Anna and the other Black Knights stared, dumbfounded, at his terrifying transformation.
’When one’s physical Cultivation reached its peak, it was possible to use abilities like Wishful Size, even controlling muscles and skeleton to drastically alter one’s physique into sothing completely different from before.’
’But such transformations had their limits. They had never seen anything like this, where soone like Andy seed to be altering his very life form.’
’A Celestial Demon... This form... Are they really Demons from Hell?’
’He unlocked so kind of physical shackle? Broke through his forr limits? A new level?’
’No! Not entirely. Only his body has changed, but his mind and will-field haven’t transford along with it. This must be an incomplete form. For his body to change to this degree...’
’He just said his ability is strongest when used on himself. That he can use Silence on positive and negative states to achieve certain ’miracles.’ Could it be...?’
Dela’s eyes narrowed. He thought he understood what Andy had done.
To break through to a new level, one had to unlock another shackle after achieving Saint Awakening. This seed to require further developnt of the mind, which would then trigger a dual transcendence of both Spirit and life force.
This guy, however, seed to have used his unique ability to temporarily cast off one of the shackles limiting his own life form.
So this was the ultimate ability of Andy, one of the higher-ranking combatants among the Seven Mo Luo.
Silencing the shackle.
He had used his Silence ability on himself. But this ti, the target of his Silence was the very shackle within his body that was constraining his evolution to a higher form of life.
However, given the limits of his ability, the release of this shackle was only partial. And once the ability was deactivated, his body would revert to its original form, forcing him to pay a trendous price.
But without a doubt, the Andy of this mont was nothing like he was before.
