The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1097

Jonathan’s spiritual energy surged and quickly permeated the surrounding land.

However, this time, no matter how Jonathan utilized the Elemental Extrication Technique, the spiritual energy seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

Jonathan unsheathed the Heaven Sword and thrust it forcefully into the surrounding soil, expecting it to yield to his strength. However, to his astonishment, the soil seemed impenetrable, as if it was the toughest Spirit Armor. Despite exerting all his might, he could only leave a faint white mark on the ground; he barely made a dent.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Right as Jonathan was feeling helpless about the situation, crisp sounds came from the hardened soil beneath his feet.

Then, sand particles the size of beans started falling off the walls.

Without any warning, the people standing in front of Jonathan suddenly retreated. Within a few seconds, a passage with a diameter of around two meters opened up.

They were a hundred meters below ground level and devoid of any light source, so Jonathan could only rely solely on his spiritual sense to navigate the passage.

On the other end of the passage was Ivanov.

“Jonathan, you were the one who killed Antoine, weren’t you?” Ivanov questioned as he strode over to Jonathan.

At that moment, Jonathan felt as if his feet were rooted to the ground, immobilizing him completely. He could not budge an inch.

The distance between the two of them was only a few tens of meters. Ivanov, with his immense power, could have closed the gap in just a single step, but he deliberately chose to approach Jonathan slowly.

At the same time, the pressure on Jonathan grew with every step Ivanov took.

Before Ivanov even took his tenth step, Jonathan was already covered in a cold sweat, and even his legs started to tremble.

That was because Ivanov was using his Pryncyp of Strength on Jonathan.

Divine Realm cultivators had mastered the concept of Pryncyp. By activating their own Pryncyp, they could temporarily suppress the influence of Heavenly Pryncyp.

Furthermore, a Pryncyp force field from a Divine Realm cultivator was immensely powerful.

Those who were weaker than Divine Realm cultivators would not be able to withstand it.

“Argh!” Jonathan screamed in agony as Ivanov continued walking toward him.

Droplets of blood were already gathering on Jonathan’s skin as his veins popped.

Ivanov’s Pryncyp was too powerful, and it was already starting to destroy Jonathan’s body.

“Jonathan, you’ve killed my grandson, Antoine, so Asura’s Office will have to pay the price for it,” Ivanov uttered.

Although Ivanov was filled with anger at the moment, he maintained a calm exterior.

No human needed to stomp on an ant if they wanted the ant dead—that would be unnecessary.

Crack!

Jonathan collapsed to the ground, the immense force shattering his kneecaps and causing him intense pain.

Jonathan trembled uncontrollably as he held himself up with his palms against the ground.

Golden scales were flickering around Jonathan, attempting to resist the pressure on Jonathan as a spiritual energy armor.

By then, Jonathan was already channeling all of his spiritual energy.

Jonathan fought against the pressure, refusing to let himself sprawl on the ground. He knew that he would never be able to stand again if he did that.

Entering a frenzied state was the only option he had, but he could not even do that despite summoning all the power he had.

Just as the armor covering him formed, it cracked.

As Ivanov drew closer, Jonathan’s bitterness grew.
