56: Come on, I'm in a hurry.

War Emperor's Mausoleum, ruins, stone forest.

The terrifying Peak A-rank monstrous beast, the "Abyssal Demonic Ape," a hundred meters tall and possessing ancient Demonic Ape genes, finally opened its colossal eyes, like two blood-red suns, after slumbering for ten thousand years!

"Roar—!!!"

A terrifying roar, filled with endless brutality and destructive desire, erupted from its abyssal maw!

Substantial sound waves, powerful enough to shatter mountains and rivers, transformed into visible black shockwaves, sweeping madly in all directions!

The nearest Prodigy teams from second-rate powers didn't even have time to react before they, along with their Protective Aura, were directly shattered into a mist of blood by the terrifying sonic roar!

Yet, the Demonic Ape's blood-red pupils, filled with endless Killing Intent, ignored all the Prodigies present, fixating, across thousands of meters, on the white figure whose aura was the most restrained, yet also posed the most fatal threat to it!

Its mountain-sized body suddenly rose from its slumbering throne, and it slammed a fist heavily onto its own chest!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dull, colossal thuds, like ancient war drums, echoed in everyone's hearts!

Immediately after, it opened its gaping maw, let out another roar, and with a powerful push of its legs, its massive body transformed into a black, all-destroying meteor, hurtling ferociously towards Lin Tian!

Facing this terrifying, world-shattering offensive, enough to make any S-Class Prodigy blanch, Lin Tian maintained his calm, indifferent expression, like an ancient well.

He didn't even move a muscle.

He just stood there quietly, allowing the terrifying behemoth, like a moving mountain range, to crash into him with the power to crush everything.

"He... is he crazy?! Why isn't he dodging?!"

"It's over! Even a mythical gene would be absolutely pulverized if hit head-on by a monster of this caliber!"

Billions of viewers in front of the global live broadcast, as well as all the Prodigies present, seeing this scene, instinctively held their breath, their hearts in their throats!

However, the next second, they witnessed a scene they would never forget, one that completely overturned their understanding of the Martial Dao!

Boom!!!

The Abyssal Demonic Ape's massive body, capable of shattering a city, collided squarely with Lin Tian's seemingly slender, dust-like body!

However, the expected gruesome scene of flesh and blood flying did not occur.

Lin Tian's body remained completely still!

His seemingly fragile body, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into an eternal, indestructible pillar of creation, supporting the entire Universe!

The Abyssal Demonic Ape's terrifying impact, capable of shattering everything, upon contact with his body, was entirely... nullified and dissolved, as if it had slammed into a Wall of Sighs, an insurmountable barrier constructed from absolute Law!

The absolute defense of the Pangu Body was terrifying indeed!

"Roar?"

For the first time, a hint of confusion and... bewilderment appeared in the Abyssal Demonic Ape's massive eyes, which were usually filled with brutality and Killing Intent.

It couldn't understand why this tiny creature, like an ant, could withstand its full-force collision without a scratch.

Just in that brief moment of its distraction—

Lin Tian moved.

"Too slow."

He shook his head, leaving a faint afterimage in his original spot, and with the ghostly speed of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, he instantly appeared before the Abyssal Demonic Ape's mountain-sized head!

Then, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and a subtle, yet seemingly all-Karma-severing, paintblack spatial rift quietly appeared on his fingertip!

The first form of the God Slaying Sword Canon—Star Cleave!

Tear!

There was no earth-shshattering sound, no dazzling special effects.

Only an incredibly fast, paintblack Sword Qi, as if it could swallow even light and sound, flashed and vanished!

The Abyssal Demonic Ape's massive, indestructible head, along with its bewildered and confused gaze, silently, like butter cut by a hot knife, slowly... slid from its neck.

Rumble!

The colossal headless corpse crashed heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

A world-shattering battle, which everyone had anticipated, thus concluded in the most fluid, clean, and spine-chilling manner possible: a "three-step instant kill."

Resist—Close In—Instant Kill!

This was Lin Tian's most dominant opening statement for his journey to the War Emperor's Mausoleum!

...This scene, through the ubiquitous live broadcast cameras of the Heavenly Eye System, was clearly displayed before billions of viewers worldwide, and all the surviving Prodigies present.

The entire world, at this moment, fell into a deathly silence, filled with awe and shock.

Long Qingtian, Bai Feng, Adam... these top-tier, arrogant Prodigies, looking at the white figure slowly descending from mid-air, not even a speck of blood on his clothes, for the first time, revealed an unprecedented, heartfelt... solemnity and wariness in their eyes!

[External Perspective]

In the Long Family's exclusive viewing room, filled with laughter.

Clan Chief Long Zhanye, looking at his grandson's perfect "first kill" performance on the screen, deliberately "complained" to the camera in a "Versailles"-like tone, as if lamenting his grandson's lack of ambition:

"Sigh! That brat!"

"I told him long ago that one should know how to hide one's abilities and be low-key! He just wouldn't listen!"

"Now look, all his trump cards are exposed! How can he train now? He just loves to show off too much!"

These words made the viewing representatives from other families nearby twitch their eyes madly, with a myriad of "grass-mud horses" galloping through their hearts... Just as Lin Tian, with the force of thunder, completed his "first kill" to establish his might, thoroughly subduing all competitors—

A sudden change occurred!

"Heh heh... As expected of the Long Family's 'Alpha Heir,' his strength is indeed well-deserved."

A cold voice, filled with undisguised hostility, came from not far away.

Adam, the ultimate trump card of North America "Holy Mountain," enveloped in Holy Light, with twelve wings slowly unfurling behind him, led a group of "Holy Mountain" Prodigies, slowly emerging from the shadows of the stone forest.

Immediately after.

"Amitabha, Benefactor's Killing Intent is too strong, he has no affinity with my Buddha."

Rama, the "Son of Brahma" from the Indian Mythological Organization, holding the legendary divine bow, appeared from another direction with a "benevolent" smile.

"Baka! To so easily steal the limelight that rightfully belongs to our Great Eastern Empire! Unforgivable!"

The Saintess of Eastern Ying's "Takama-ga-hara," "Amaterasu Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto," dressed in a magnificent miko outfit, had icy eyes and surging Killing Intent.

One by one, Prodigies from top hostile forces overseas, who held grudges against the Long Family and Huaxia, converged from all directions at this very moment!

Finally, even Bai Feng, the chief of the War God Academy, who had always maintained a neutral stance and possessed a gentle, jade-like demeanor, slowly stepped forward.

They formed an invisible, oppressive encirclement, completely... surrounding Lin Tian's Long Family team!

The final BOSS team of this dungeon, at this moment, officially... assembled!

Adam, as the representative of this temporary "Anti-Long Family Alliance," his eyes, hidden beneath the Holy Light, filled with disdain and arrogance, looked at Lin Tian and said coldly:

"Huaxian, you are too arrogant."

"This is a stage for Prodigies worldwide, not your personal show."

"Today, we shall unite here... to end the Long Family's undefeated myth!"

Facing this encirclement by the world's top Prodigies, enough to make anyone despair, Long Qingtian, Dragon Snow Phoenix, and others all had solemn expressions, brandishing their weapons, ready... to fight to the death!

However, Lin Tian, at the center of the encirclement, smiled.

He took a slow step forward.

He surveyed the surroundings, taking in the faces of Adam, Bai Feng, Rama... and everyone else, as if looking at a group of ignorant prey willingly leaping into a trap.

In an extremely flat tone, as if asking "How's the weather today," he delivered the most arrogant and dominant collective taunt to this so-called "final BOSS team," a taunt that would make the whole world go wild.

"Are you planning to come at me all at once?"

He paused, a smirk of disdain and contempt curving his lips.

"Or... one by one, in a queue, to die?"

"To be honest, I'm in a hurry."

"I need to go to the core area... to sign in."
