"Only 15%? Damn it, that's not good at all!"
Ryan's mind was racing at lightning speed, trying to find any way to avoid the deadly blow coming from Liang Tian. He couldn't rely on his strength alone—his opponent was far stronger. Although the system gave him chances to analyze his techniques, it still wasn't enough.
"I have to think outside the box... I can't face him head-on!"
In a flash, just as Liang Tian's hand neared his chest, Ryan used "Phantom Wind Step" at full speed. But instead of retreating as usual, he dashed straight toward his opponent, ducking under his arm and using his momentum to channel energy quickly into the ground.
"Heavenly Explosion Sword!"
In an instant, dark blue energy burst from his body and struck the ground beneath Liang Tian's feet, triggering a massive explosion that scattered debris and dust in all directions. Ryan was stunned to see the blast destroy walls and collapse part of the ceiling.
"Clever trick… but not enough!"
Through the haze of dust, Liang Tian emerged from the explosion completely unscathed. He hadn't even raised his hand to defend himself, causing Ryan's heart to clench. How? How did he survive that?
"Impossible…" Ryan whispered.
"You're trying to use chaos to hide your weakness, but I've seen that trick a hundred times."
In a flash, he extended his hand and released a burst of invisible energy that struck Ryan like a lightning bolt, sending him flying backward at terrifying speed. He crashed into the wall of the Heavenly Hall violently, feeling his ribs shatter, and blood gushed from his mouth instantly. The pain was unbearable—like his body was exploding from within.
📉 [Warning: Energy level critical!]
📉 [Body status: Severe internal damage!]
📉 [Survival probability: 9%!]
Ryan gasped, struggling to breathe. The pain in his body was indescribable, but he couldn't stop now. If he didn't find a way, he'd die right here. Every movement felt like fire under his skin—even breathing was a challenge.
🔹 [Technique analysis: "Void Sword" at 65% completion!]
🔹 [New option available: Break the Limits!]
His eyes widened. "Break the limits? What is that?"
🔹 [Due to extreme combat pressure, you have a chance to break the barrier between your current level and the next, granting a temporary surge in power!]
"That's exactly what I need!"
Without hesitation, he accepted the option. Suddenly, it felt like molten lava exploded within his body! Unimaginable power surged through his veins, his body glowing with celestial blue light as the ground beneath him cracked under the immense pressure. The pain intensified, but he felt a strength he had never known—as if every limit inside him had shattered in an instant.
🔹 [Limit Break Activated!]
🔹 [Power and speed increased by 200% for 30 seconds!]
🔹 [New technique unlocked: Celestial Void Sword!]
"What is this?!" Liang Tian shouted in rare shock, seeing how Ryan's entire aura had changed. He tried to react quickly, but Ryan vanished like a flash of lightning, freezing time around him for a moment. In the blink of an eye, Ryan appeared right in front of the Heavenly Elder.
"This time, I'm the one striking!" Ryan shouted.
With unbelievable speed, he raised his sword and unleashed a radiant heavenly strike, tearing the entire Heavenly Hall apart in its wake! The sound of the explosion was like thunder shaking the earth, and the ground itself began to split and crumble under the colossal attack.
