With one step, the world changes color! Today, I advance to the Transformation Realm!

Lin Yuan's impatient questioning made Su Li's heart tremble violently.

"Does it really take this long to deal with a few pieces of trash?"

How casual!

How arrogant and overbearing!

Yet, it was precisely these incredibly arrogant words that acted like a powerful stimulant, instantly injecting life into her heart which had already fallen into an icy abyss!

Indeed.

What was she so despondent about?

The man before her was a monster who dared to treat even Primeval Demon Gods like playthings!

What did a few mere Divine Officials count for?

However, the moment Su Li's confidence was rekindled, the Huagang Realm Divine Official seemed to lose his patience for playing with ants.

He raised his hand again, and a more solid black light blade condensed in his palm, aimed directly at a Meridian Opening Realm Prodigy from the Andes Alliance who was struggling to hold on!

That Prodigy watched helplessly as the lethal light blade, capable of killing him instantly, approached, a desperate and bitter smile appearing on his face.

He couldn't even muster the thought of dodging.

It's over.

However, at the critical moment when the light blade was about to hit him and erase him from this world...

Lin Yuan finally moved.

He didn't make any world-shaking movements, nor did he teleport in front of the Prodigy.

He simply brought back his hands that were behind his back, then stepped forward lightly with his right foot.

One step.

That was all.

Yet, as that casual step landed...

"BOOM—!!!!!"

It felt as if the entire world had been struck by a massive hammer!

The wind stopped.

The surging waves came to an eerie standstill at that moment.

The churning clouds in the sky also seemed to have been paused, frozen in place.

Then!

With Lin Yuan as the center, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a radius of thousands of kilometers across the entire Hanhai sea region completely rioted at that instant!

It was no longer a gentle, invisible energy.

Instead, it became the most violent and turbulent torrent, like a terrifying flood breaking through a dam!

"Crash—!!!"

Countless amounts of Spiritual Qi were forcibly extracted from the sky, the sea, and deep within the earth's crust by an irresistible and overbearing force!

They converged to form a visible, massive azure Spiritual Qi vortex that connected the sky and the sea!

And at the center of that vortex was the young figure standing elegantly on the deck of the Kunpeng, having just stepped forward!

In that moment, everyone was stunned.

The deafening sounds of slaughter, explosions, and roars on the battlefield all vanished in an instant.

Everyone's movements froze in place.

They looked up blankly at the miraculous scene, one worthy of being recorded in history!

"This... this is..."

Yan Wu Xiaolie had just struggled up from the ground. As he looked up at the terrifying Spiritual Qi vortex that seemed ready to swallow the entire world, the essence blood that had been boiling within him seemed to freeze at that moment.

What was that?

What level of power was that?!

On the Oulu Alliance's flagship, the "Language of Stars" staff in Saintess Isabella's hand erupted with an unprecedentedly blinding light. The magic runes on it flashed frantically like they were going mad, even making overburdened "cracking" sounds!

Her noble and elegant face was now filled with disbelief!

She could clearly perceive it!

Within that forcibly extracted Spiritual Qi, there was actually a trace... a trace of Origin power belonging to the dawn of the world's creation, something she had only seen in the most ancient magic tomes!

"A mi... miracle... this is a true miracle..."

Inside the Shield Island Command Center, General Adams saw this scene through remote monitoring. He froze in his chair, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg, unconsciously muttering to himself.

"This... what kind of terrifying Qi gathering speed is this? No! This isn't just gathering Qi anymore! This is... plundering! He is plundering the power of the entire world!"

It wasn't just the United Fleet.

Even the expressions of the three arrogant Divine Officials opposite them had completely changed!

The cruel, cat-and-mouse smiles on their faces had long since vanished, replaced by an unprecedented gravity and a trace of... imperceptible wariness!

They could feel a terrifying power that made even their hearts palpitate, frantically awakening within that young man's body!

And at this moment, as the center of it all...

Lin Yuan's body was undergoing earth-shattering changes!

That extremely faint "Origin fluctuation" leaking from the space crack of the gate of the divine kingdom was like a key.

A key that completely unlocked the hidden power of the Primordial Chaos Sacred Body within him!

The massive amount of Spiritual Qi he had forcibly plundered, which contained Origin power, surged frantically into his body!

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound, as if coming from the depths of his Soul, rang out!

The Meridian Opening Realm Peak Bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time and prevented him from "retiring" peacefully shattered like fragile glass at this moment!

Boom!

At that instant, his Qi Sea expanded frantically!

From a small stream, it instantly became a vast ocean!

Within his Qi Sea, that endless Spiritual Qi was frantically compressed, purified, and condensed with unimaginable efficiency!

Finally, it transformed into a wisp of pale-golden gas!

Protective Aura!

The hallmark of the Huagang Realm, which stood above Spiritual Qi and possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth!

That wisp of pale-golden Protective Aura multiplied—one became two, two became three, and three became all things!

In an instant, his vast Qi Sea was completely filled with this pale-golden Protective Aura, brimming with the scents of both destruction and rebirth!

The pale-golden Protective Aura flowed through his Meridians—which were tougher than heaven-and-earth profound iron—circulating through his entire body and nourishing every part of him, causing his already terrifying Physical Body to undergo another qualitative leap!

The whole process took only a few seconds, though it sounds long in the telling!

As the Spiritual Qi vortex that connected heaven and earth slowly dissipated...

Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, a brilliant golden divine glow flashed deep within his dark pupils!

His aura remained steady at the Huagang Realm Early Stage.

However, the intensity of that aura and the terror of that pressure were more than a hundred times stronger than the Divine Official opposite him, who was also at the Huagang Realm Early Stage!

If the Divine Official's Protective Aura was a clump of cotton...

Then the Protective Aura within Lin Yuan, condensed by the Primordial Chaos Sacred Body, was a piece of tempered alloy with infinite density!

The two were simply not on the same level!

"You..."

The leading Huagang Realm Divine Official stared intently at Lin Yuan; he felt a lethal danger from the other man that was enough to threaten his life!

He had only ever experienced this feeling when facing those high-and-mighty High Priests in the Divine Court!

How could this be?!

How could an ant who had just broken through to the Huagang Realm possess such a terrifying aura?!

A surge of extreme anger at being provoked instantly overrode the wariness in his heart!

"It's just luck that you've just entered the Huagang Realm! How dare you attempt to defy heaven before me?!"

He roared, mobilizing all the Protective Aura in his body without reservation!

"Die!!"

He raised his hand, and a massive black light blade, several times more terrifying than the previous one and nearly solid, stretching thousands of meters long, condensed once more!

Black flames even burned upon that light blade, and wherever it passed, even space itself let out an overburdened wail!

With this strike, he intended to completely reduce this ant who dared to provoke Divine Might, along with the massive ship behind him, to ashes!
