35: Good stuff, it's mine now.

In the banquet hall, time seemed to slow infinitely the moment Lin Tian turned around.

The golden beam of destruction, formed by the S-rank forbidden technique [Holy Light Judgment], capable of instantly wiping a small city off the map, solidly struck Lin Tian's seemingly not-so-broad, yet incredibly solid and reliable back, amidst Kyle's twisted grin, Dragon Snow Phoenix's despairing and disbelieving eyes, and the horrified gasps of all the guests present!

"Lin Tian—!"

"Brother Tian—!"

"Young Lord—!"

Long Qingtian, Jiang Luoling, Long Ao, Long Zhanye... everyone from the Long family side, at this moment, let out heart-wrenching cries filled with fear and worry!

They never imagined that Kyle would be so despicable and shameless, disregarding his status to sneak attack a woman who had just exhausted her strength!

They also never imagined that Lin Tian would make such a decisive choice—to use his own Physical Body to directly take this fatal blow, which was enough to instantly heavily injure a Martial King of the same Realm!

Rumble—!!!

Devastating Holy Light energy exploded on Lin Tian's back!

The entire banquet hall trembled violently under the impact of this terrifying energy! The vast galaxy simulated on the dome was instantly swallowed by dazzling white light, turning into nothingness! Countless tables, chairs, and pillars made of special alloys were instantly torn apart and vaporized like fragile porcelain under the aftershocks of this energy storm!

If not for the defensive Formations personally laid down by Divine-Grade experts inscribed in the building Materials of this "Sky City", perhaps the aftershocks of this single blow would have been enough to completely wipe the entire banquet hall, along with everyone in it, from this Universe!

The light lasted for a full ten seconds before slowly dissipating.

Only a huge, bottomless pit, over a hundred meters in diameter, with constantly melting edges, was left in its place.

And in the center of the pit, the white figure still stood quietly, with his back to everyone.

He was still alive!

"Hoo..."

The Long family members all collectively let out a long sigh of relief, their hearts, which had been in their throats, finally returning to their chests.

As for Kyle, looking at the figure that still stood tall, his handsome face was filled with disbelief.

Impossible!

This was absolutely impossible!

That was his S-rank forbidden technique [Holy Light Judgment], which he had unleashed by consuming nearly half of his life source core! Let alone a Martial King of the same Realm, even a Martial Emperor expert one major Realm higher than him, if caught unprepared, would definitely be severely injured and on the verge of death after taking this blow!

How could he... still be standing?!

Just as his mind was reeling, thinking that Lin Tian was merely putting on a brave front—

At the bottom of the pit, the white figure slowly straightened up.

He slowly turned around.

Under the gaze of hundreds of billions of eyes worldwide, filled with tension and anticipation, his handsome, god-like face still held that calm, indifferent expression, like an ancient well.

The simple white martial arts uniform he wore was still as pristine white and clean as ever, without even a single wrinkle or a charred mark.

Not a single scratch!

Not even... his clothes were torn!

He looked at Kyle, who was completely dumbfounded on the opposite side of the arena, his worldview on the verge of collapsing, and slowly raised his hand, gently patting away the non-existent dust on his back.

Then, with a tone full of "disappointment" and "puzzlement," he calmly asked:

"Is that all?"

"Is that all the strength you have?"

He paused, as if thinking seriously, then gave an evaluation that was enough to make Kyle's Dao Heart collapse on the spot.

"Honestly, it's not even strong enough to scratch an itch."

Pfft—!

Upon hearing these words, Kyle could no longer suppress the surging Qi and blood, and a mouthful of blood gushed out!

Humiliation!

This was a humiliation a hundred, a thousand times more intense than publicly killing Long Xiaoqian!

His strongest killing move, unleashed with all his might and consuming his Origin, was, in the opponent's eyes, not even worthy of scratching an itch?!

"No... impossible! This must be an illusion!"

Kyle was completely stimulated by this cruel reality, losing his reason. In his shock, he no longer cared about the dignity of a strong person, and subconsciously turned to retreat, wanting to distance himself from this monster who could not be judged by common sense!

However, he was fast, but Lin Tian's speed was even faster!

"Trying to leave?"

Lin Tian's lips curved into a cold arc, "Did I give you permission?"

He took a step, and his figure, like a ghost, instantly crossed a hundred meters, closing in!

He extended his fair, slender hand, as perfect as a work of art, and grabbed Kyle's thick arm, which was still shimmering with Holy Light energy!

"You... what do you want to do?!"

Kyle discovered in horror that the moment his body was grabbed by the opponent, it was as if it had been suppressed by an ancient Divine Mountain, making even moving a finger a luxury!

Amidst the gasps of all the guests present, filled with shock and disbelief, and in Kyle's eyes, filled with fear and despair, Lin Tian performed the most primitive, most violent, and most hair-raising action!

He grabbed Kyle's arm, pressed his other hand on Kyle's shoulder, and then, used his waist strength!

Relying on the extremely abnormal and terrifying Physical Body strength of the Pangu Body, which was enough to tear apart stars with his bare hands!

"—Break for me!!!"

Rip—!!!

Accompanied by a teeth-gritting, terrifying sound like tearing old cowhide, and Kyle's shrill, inhuman scream!

His right arm, which had been tempered countless times by Holy Light energy and was as hard as S-rank alloy, was actually torn off by Lin Tian, forcefully, from the shoulder, root and all!

Blood gushed out like a fountain!

It stained the arena and also stained the eyes of everyone, which were already filled with horror!

"Ah ah ah ah ah! My arm! My arm!"

Kyle clutched the bleeding stump of his arm, letting out a pig-like wail, rolling wildly on the ground, no longer showing any trace of his former arrogant appearance as the "Holy Mountain" Young Lord!

However, just when everyone thought that this battle was about to end in such a bloody and brutal manner—

A sudden change occurred!

As Kyle rolled on the ground, a strong, emerald green light, filled with endless life Qi, suddenly burst forth from the location of his heart!

The blood that had been gushing wildly from his severed arm instantly stopped!

Immediately after, visible flesh sprouts, like vines, frantically grew, wriggled, intertwined, and expanded from the wound!

Under everyone's utterly astonished gaze, a brand new, perfectly intact arm rapidly... regenerated within a few breaths!

"This is... the 'life source core' of the 'Hydra'!" In the VIP section, a knowledgeable big shot exclaimed in shock, "It is rumored that the 'Holy Mountain' organization once hunted an S-rank ancient beast, the 'Hydra', and transplanted its 'life source core', which contained the power of undying Rebirth, into their most core Genius! I never thought... the rumor was actually true!"

Kyle looked at his regained arm, and after the initial shock, a twisted and fanatical smile reappeared on his face!

"Hahahaha! Lin Tian! You can't kill me! I have the 'life source core' within me, I am... immortal!"

He thought that this ultimate trump card he revealed would at least make this monster in front of him feel a little tricky.

However, what he saw was not a trace of surprise or difficulty in Lin Tian's deep eyes, but rather... undisguised greed, as if he had seen the most delicious prey!

Lin Tian stuck out his tongue, gently licking his lips, which were stained with a trace of Kyle's blood, and muttered to himself in a playful tone, as if declaring ownership:

"Regeneration after dismemberment? Good stuff."

"Now..."

He raised his eyes and looked at Kyle, as if looking at a collectible that was about to be put into his pocket.

"—It's mine now."

He decided to stop playing around.

Boom!!!

A wave of Chaos Qi, far more terrifying, vast, and ancient than ever before, as if from the very beginning of the Universe, suddenly awakened from within him!

Behind him, a towering, ten-thousand-zhang-tall phantom of a Pangu primordial being, holding a giant axe that split the heavens, with bulging muscles, treading on Chaos, and standing between heaven and earth... slowly emerged!

Go all out!
