(9000)_5 By then, how many hands he could conjure, be it a Hundred-Armed Giant or a Thousand-Arms…

that would be hard to say.

The enormous Wooden Spirit Hand descended with an incredibly alarming force, accompanied by damage from the Spirit Substance that could hardly be blocked by shields.

The dazzling light was the ‘Soul-Purifying Light’ of the Purifying Spirit Wood, coming with a grim killing intent.

Even the Domain of Void trembled slightly at this strike, eliciting feedback.

In Ian’s perception, the Wooden Spirit Hand was not merely a chopping palm, but a terrifying slash with a solid presence, carrying the purest intent of annihilation.

It swept down with the violent momentum of storms and dark clouds enveloping the peak of the Iron Dragon Nest, as if a vast sea of clouds were cleaving toward him, assailing both body and soul!

Ian knew full well that he couldn’t withstand this slash—the strike was a full-force blow from a true Third Power Level warrior, a blend of the Heart Light Body and Sublimation Skills, drawing from the natural Origin Quality of the surroundings, immense like the boundless celestial sea and as unstoppable as the sky falling.

With one slash, even a small mountain would be shattered to pieces, and any soul would be purified to ash.

Even if he possessed an Ancient Dragon Heart Core and Aether Crystals, giving him greater endurance than Kode who was at the Third Power Level, he still couldn’t surpass the opponent in the short-term burst of power.

Therefore, he must retreat!

The blade light approached, and Ian hastily retreated!

The massive palm-turned-blade, born from the Purifying Spirit Wood, merely with the aftermath of its gleam, stripped all surrounding Origin Quality clean.

Had there been any weaker beings, they would have found it impossible to defend against such an attack that could even strip away Free Essence, let alone maintain a conjured shield, as it would be directly drained.

And if one were an equally powerful warrior, losing the initiative in combat against Kode and allowing him to first unleash this deadly skill would inevitably diminish access to natural Origin Quality, thus being forced into a disadvantaged confrontation.

Unless the one battling Kode possessed more reserves of Origin Quality than all the natural resources around them!

This was an attack that could only be withstood through ‘raw strength’!

Did Ian have such reserves?

Of course not.

Even with Aether Crystals continuously gathering natural Origin Quality, and the Ancient Dragon Heart Core constantly storing the pure Origin Quality he had been refining from the Primordial Seed and Clear Source Crystals, it was not nearly enough to match a Heart Light Body of the plant series that could command the forces of nature in an instant.

If he were a genuine Third Power Level warrior, perhaps he could withstand the onslaught with his solid strength.

Regrettably, Ian was just shy of that mark.

But he could consolidate.

At this moment, Ian was frantically condensing his Origin Quality through the Ancient Dragon Heart Core.

If the enemy’s offensive was as vast as the Vast Sea, then he would condense himself into an unbreakable reef, standing firm even against towering waves!

If the enemy’s onslaught were akin to a stormy natural disaster, then he would forge himself into an immovable Solid City, protecting a dominion even if the heavens and the earth were to overturn!

In that short time as Ian rapidly retreated, the Origin Quality within his body had been compressed to an extreme, refined to a state of purity.

If previously, the Origin Quality used by Ian was like clear quartz with slight impurities, now it was akin to a purely transparent man-made diamond.

This was the result achievable with Clear Source Crystals, the Ancient Dragon Heart Core, and Aether Crystals working in unison.

“What?”

At this moment, Kode’s heart suddenly shook.

Today was the first time he had exerted his full power as the Heart Light Body, slicing with a blow that seized the nature’s forces.

He even forcibly took away the natural Origin Quality around Ian by leveraging his mighty field control at the Third Power Level, leaving not the slightest opportunity for his foe to resist.

But just then, he suddenly found that the natural Origin Quality around Ian seemed to be fixed in place by an incredibly solid and heavy object—something that neither flowing water nor fierce winds could affect or wash away.

Then, this extremely solid ‘something’ stopped retreating, and instead, charged toward him!

For a moment, Kode sensed an outlier in his blade momentum, one that was not affected by his Soul-Purifying Force, nor easily destroyed by his Origin Quality.

It was burrowing from within the expanse of the blade gleam, twisting outward, desperately seeking to break through the aggression!

This indestructibly solid object whirled and charged forward, pushing through everything in front of it, regardless of natural Origin Quality or his own, as well as the Heart Light Body and Sublimation Skills, all torn asunder.

Until it had ripped apart everything in front of it, thoroughly piercing through!

Kode’s expression darkened, with the Wooden Spirit Giant Hand behind him still chopping down.

Even the peak of the Iron Dragon Nest crumbled under his power, leaving only a long gash, but Ian’s figure, wielding the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword, surged forward after a swift retreat.

The Fairy Wings on his back suddenly accelerated, smashing through Kode’s blade momentum like a cannonball aiming straight for him!

—How did this happen?

How could a Second Energy Level Water Fairy control such high-quality Earth Origin Quality?

How could he use Second Energy Level Origin Quality to condense something comparable to my Primal Aether quality?

At this moment, Kode also caught a glimpse of the flickering Star Crown above Ian’s head, and another perplexing question arose in his mind: “Why does he too possess a Heart Light Body?”

Too many questions, too many doubts, but now there’s only battle.

Since the overwhelming momentum of his blade was ineffective, Kode resorted to a more direct attack: once again he drew his hunting knife from his waist and swung it at Ian, with a slash devoid of any hesitation.

Even though Ian had broken one of his ultimate moves, Kode still had unshakable faith in his own strength.

It’s this very ‘faith’ one needs at the Third Energy Level!

Never discouraged, never compromising, determined to achieve the set goal without delay or excuse; whether it’s only people like this who can reach the Third Energy Level or vice versa, it essentially means the same thing.

“If you can block me, then I can block you too!”

Boom!

Kode’s strength still surpassed Ian’s.

With one swing of his blade, he sent the faltering Ian flying backwards from the force of the clash.

Just the backlash alone, falling upon the cliffside, caused it to collapse thunderously.

However, Ian merely spun around, deftly diverting most of the force, without a single hair out of place, and he continued his assault.

This was a grueling fight.

If the combatants continued to battle like this, no change would come even by the next morning.

Kode was a true Third Power Level, with solid fundamentals and profound techniques.

Despite possibly being behind in equipment and tricks compared to the Third Power Level Great Knights of major forces like The Empire, in a head-on fight, he was second to none.

Even Ian could learn much from him; there were so many combat methods and data to be validated.

Not being able to deal with his opponent was not a good thing for him, but it was not necessarily a bad thing either.

But, the battle must eventually end—especially when both sides had already thought about how to finish it before the fighting began.

From the distant horizon, a sonorous Dragon’s Chant suddenly rang out.

Color returned to Kode’s face as he laughed heartily, “The Ironwing Dragon King has arrived!

Ian, you truly are powerful, unbelievably so.

A Second Energy Level with such power?

I almost begin to doubt myself.”

“But this is no hero’s duel, no fair and square fight—this is war!”

But Ian’s expression remained unchanged, and he agreed with a tone of approval: “You’re right, this is war.”

“So, I have also called for help.

Oh no, not people.

Dragons.”

Another Dragon’s Chant resounded.

This time, Kode’s expression changed.

As one of the Mountain People, he could discern that it was the chant of the True Dragon ‘King of the Mountain,’ which oversees the legacy of the Qing Steel Dragons on behalf of Dragon Island.

From the distant edges of the sky came faint but intense crackling sounds, the roar of mighty thunders creating a dazzling web of light.

Then, a terrifying shockwave visibly burst through the atmosphere, erupting into a spectacular aurora suspended across the entire sky.

The battle between a Fourth Power Level True Dragon and a Sub-Dragon had once again begun, and it was clear that they were unable to support the ones they intended to aid.

Instead, Ian revealed a smile.

“You’ve lost, Kode.”

Shaking his head, he addressed the Mountain Tribes Chieftain, looking tense and clutching his twin knives, feeling that something was amiss: “Not because you are unskilled, nor because you haven’t trained hard enough—you are strong.

Quite the opposite, you are the most solid opponent I have ever faced and the best to help me validate my techniques.”

“But you will be defeated.”

At that moment, accompanied by a rush of red-silver light, a dragon slightly inferior to the Great Ironwing Dragon, wielding metallic wings, was speeding towards them from afar.

Ian raised his Iron Pattern Sword, pointing at the Mountain Tribes Chieftain, whose face was drastically changing: “Simply because you’re outnumbered.”

“On my side, there are more dragons.”
