Below, Ophelia and the others stared blankly at the scene, frozen, their reactions long gone. Matthias and Tobey’s gazes were locked on Leander, their eyes heavy with emotion, and neither made a sound.

Darian and the Twin Reapers–three King Phase masters from a century ago–were equally silent, their expressions filled with awe.

They had all imagined that Leander might unleash some divine technique or a powerful ultimate move to confront the Great Equilibrium. Judging by how he had fought in the Sahar Wastes against an entire army, they believed Leander could pull it off.

But the reality was far more outrageous than anything they had anticipated.

Faced with the Twin Reapers‘ nearly unstoppable synergy technique, Leander didn’t retreat or dodge. He didn’t use a single secret technique. With just one outstretched hand, he halted the Great Equilibrium in its tracks. Even these three century–old King Phase masters found such a feat unbelievable.

“How exactly did Jeff train?”

Darian’s gaze stayed fixed on Leander. His palm trembled slightly as his eyes shifted again and again.

Having fought the Twin Reapers back in the day and experienced the Great Equilibrium firsthand, he understood its power better than anyone and spoke with the authority of experience.

The Bulwark Sect, which Darian led, was famous for its body–tempering arts. Their methods had been passed down since the Warring States Era. Almost every generation of the sect’s strongest disciples possessed near–invincible bodies, capable of withstanding sniper bullets- and at the pinnacle of training, even tank shells could be endured, ten or more at a time.

In the present world, only body–tempering sects like the Adamantine Order or the Draconic Order could even compare to the Bulwark Sect’s mastery. Few, if any, could truly match them.

As the leader of the Bulwark Sect, Darian had long reached the peak of cultivation. His body was as resilient as any legendary weapon of the era, yet even so, he had never dared to confront the Great Equilibrium head–on with his flesh alone. Now, he had even less confidence in doing so.

But Leander had done exactly that. With nothing but his bare hand, he completely resisted the terrifying force contained within the Great Equilibrium.

“What kind of monster is Jeff?”

The Twin Reapers felt the energy of the Great Equilibrium gradually dissipate, their expressions growing even more intense–part awe, part disbelief.

They could hardly imagine that anyone in the world could stop their synergy technique with just a single hand.

At this level, even Astria’s Dragon Emperor, the Church’s High Priest, Netherweb’s ruler, or the Supreme Arbiters of the Arbitration Office might not be capable of it.

If anyone could truly counter their ultimate move with bare hands, it would only be the Eastern immortals of a distant age or the Westerian divinities–beings of unimaginable power.

Yet Leander had shattered all their assumptions with reality.

“The Great Equilibrium? That’s your so–called synergy technique? Pathetic.”

In front of the Tai Chi Diagram, Leander’s palm remained pressed against its center, his voice calm yet carrying a hint of mockery.

Their synergy technique was indeed formidable, but since leaving the Divine Vault, Leander had already fully integrated the spiritual energy within Verdant Dew. It flowed freely through his limbs and bones.

Half of the spiritual energy had been absorbed and transformed by his Nirvana Energy, mutating it into something far stronger. The other half had been assimilated into his body, enhancing his cellular structure and elevating his Devourer Form to a new level.

The Great Equilibrium might be strong enough to effortlessly destroy more than ten AH–1 Cobra attack helicopters–but against him now, it was little more than a trifle.

“Hmph!”

At his words, Donard sneered.

“Jeff, do you really think that stopping the Great Equilibrium means you’ve stopped our synergy technique? You’re thinking far too simply.”

“Oh?” Leander’s eyes lifted slightly, a trace of surprise in his gaze.

Donard crossed his arms, a cold, dark aura radiating from him. Beside him, Elwin’s voice cut

“Over this past century, we’ve upgraded it. The Great Equilibrium once had only the first layer, but what you’re facing now… is the second layer of the Great Equilibrium! Jeff, today is the day you die.”

As his words fell, he clenched his palm sharply.

The spiritual energy of the heavens seemed to leak like punctured balloons, all rushing violently toward a single point–the Tai Chi Diagram.

The Tai Chi Diagram, now empowered by the flood of spiritual energy, spun faster than ever. Leander’s palm pressed against it, and the friction sparked golden and metallic flashes that shot into the air.

“Huh?”

Leander paused, sensing a subtle yet immense force erupting from the Tai Chi Diagram, like a torrent breaking free.

Rumble!

Before he could react, his pupils contracted. A deafening blast shook the surroundings.

The Tai Chi Diagram exploded in a violent flash of black–and–white light, engulfing half the sky. The area within dozens of yards was completely submerged in its radiance. In an instant, it detonated like a massive high–explosive grenade.

A small mushroom cloud shot upward, the shockwave radiating outward in all directions, whipping the desert winds into a frenzy. Sand and debris were hurled into the sky, turning the battlefield into a storm of flying grit.

Darian stood over a hundred yards from the epicenter, yet he could still feel the sheer terror of the energy contained within the blast. The force of the explosion pushed him back half a step, a stark testament to its raw power.

Ophelia’s eyes trembled as she stared, unable to believe what she was seeing. She had understood, in theory, that some martial artists could wield godlike power, controlling life and death–but that was only an idea. The explosion of the Tai Chi Diagram made that idea a terrifying reality.

The

power of the Tai Chi Diagram’s explosion alone was enough to level three or four buildings outright–equivalent to dozens of pounds of Composition C4. That kind of destructive force was no different from a battlefield detonation. How could it not leave her shaken to the core?
