From Ruin to Reign Leander's Unbreakable Will novel Chapter 402

The elemental energy of heaven and earth surged violently, freezing the void within several hundred feet, sealing it completely.

A massive Celestial Tai Chi Diagram engulfed Leander entirely.

"The might of an Infernal Crown Transcendent is truly terrifying!"

Gareth's eyes widened sharply, then a shadow of worry crossed his face.

At this moment, the one facing an Infernal Crown Transcendent was his own son.

Though Leander had tried to distance himself from the Ashcroft family, he was still, after all, a member of it.

Gareth and Reginald had long agreed that the future of the Ashcroft family would rest entirely in Leander's hands.

But now, the overwhelming might of an Infernal Crown Transcendent seemed capable of turning all those hopes into nothing but crushed dreams.

A mere gesture could seal space itself.

Who could withstand such power if they weren't an Infernal Crown Transcendent themselves?

Galen's single hand clenched lightly, his gaze sharp, his brows carrying a streak of icy indifference.

"Jeff, you may be powerful and unmatched, but you're not an Infernal Crown yourself. In the presence of an Infernal Crown Transcendent, you're no different from an ant! Face it—you can never beat me!

"Now, it's time to settle the score. You will answer for Homer's life!" uttered Galen icily.

Everyone below could feel a pure, chilling killing intent emanating from him.

This killing intent carried no hatred nor anger, for its sole purpose was to take Leander's life.

It sounded as simple and natural as opening a can of soda.

The instant he finished speaking, he clenched his fists.

Whoosh!

A whirlwind of elemental energy swept across heaven and earth.

The massive Tai Chi Diagram spun violently, forming two extremes, black and white, then constricting inward.

This move resembled the Infinite Silken Trap once wielded by Grayson, but the difference in power was astronomical.

Grayson had expended all his internal force to form the net atop Hawksridge Summit.

Galen, by contrast, formed it effortlessly with a casual motion. There was simply no comparison.

The Tai Chi Diagram constricted rapidly.

Countless strands of elemental energy compressed the space within, threatening to explode at any moment.

Leander, trapped inside, would naturally be caught in a chaotic surge of destructive forces.

"Ander!"

Daphne clenched her pale hands tightly, unable to contain her alarmed cries.

She wanted to intervene, but her cultivation was too weak, and Galen hovered high above.

She was powerless, forced to watch as the Tai Chi Diagram shrank smaller and smaller.

Just as the Tai Chi Diagram contracted to a few dozen feet across, a low shout erupted from within. Blue light burst forth, like something breaking free from a cocoon.

Bang!

The sound of a massive explosion shook the place, and blue light blossomed across the void, illuminating the night.

The Tai Chi Diagram, formed from the essence of heaven and earth, was utterly shattered from within outward by a force unlike anything before.

"What?"

Galen's eyes narrowed, shock etched across his features.

The blue light gradually faded, revealing Leander standing proudly and unscathed.

"Did you just break through my Celestial Tai Chi Diagram?"

His expression shifted again, disbelief flooding him.

Ever since assuming the position of Wanda Sect's grandmaster decades ago, he had never descended into the mortal world.

He spent all his time on the highest peaks of Wanda's seventy-two summits, cultivating martial insight and attuning to heaven and earth, pursuing ultimate power.

Five years ago, he finally broke through Infernal Crown Transcendent, becoming one of the strongest in the Transcendent Realm.

From the moment he ascended, he could feel the transformation.

It was an all-encompassing evolution, like a silkworm emerging from its cocoon as a butterfly—a transcendence beyond description.

At this stage, he could suppress anything casually.

Yet, not only did Leander survive the Tai Chi Diagram formed from his own energy, he'd even shattered it completely, leaving Galen utterly stunned.

A Transcendent under twenty years old was already enough to shake the world, but an Infernal Crown Transcendent under twenty?

Boom!

The explosion echoed with a bang. Blue light shimmered, scattering tiny ripples along its tail.

"Argh!"

Bang!

The two fists collided violently, and a deafening explosion reverberated.

At last, the bulletproof glass above Celestial Pavilion's banquet hall could no longer withstand the shockwave.

It shattered, sending fragments raining downward.

Seeing this, Gareth and the others quickly sprang into action.

They used a round table to shield the guests inside from the falling shards of glass, narrowly saving them from disaster.

Above, blue and red energies clashed continuously, two utterly opposed forces colliding with such ferocity that the night sky itself seemed torn in two.

Leander struck with a punch, then retracted, and struck again, his body wrapped in Nirvana Energy as the blue light flickered incessantly around him.

Galen was pushed back by Leander's blow but did not panic.

Instead, he unleashed his innate vitality, summoning the power of heaven and earth, bracing to meet Leander's next punch.

Though the two seemed evenly matched, Gareth and the others could clearly see that with every strike Leander delivered, Galen stepped back, his crimson aura dimming slightly each time.

Leander unleashed nine punches in rapid succession.

Galen fell back nine steps, his crimson light now fully extinguished.

"What's with his cultivation? I've fully mobilized my innate vitality and amplified my heaven-and-earth essence as an Infernal Crown Transcendent. Yet, he's unstoppable!"

Galen widened his eyes in shock, his mind reeling with disbelief.

But there was no time to ponder as Leander threw his next punch.

Bang!

In an instant, the world seemed to hold its breath. Blue light surged explosively while the crimson aura collapsed.

Galen's protective innate vitality shattered completely under Leander's tenth punch.

The Wanda Sect grandmaster emitted a muffled grunt, a jet of blood spewing from his mouth, streaking dozens of feet sideways.

Blue light radiated from Leander, his dark eyes piercing the night sky.

Below, the five great generals bore witness.

Before all five, Leander had fought against an Infernal Crown Transcendent.
