Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ocean erupted in a series of explosions, sending towering waves spiraling skyward like a colossal tornado.
Deafening blasts reverberated across the surface as the red-haired figure was hurled backward, leaving a trail of afterimages and ear-splitting sonic booms.
His body spun like a skipping stone, carving thousands of layers of waves into the Great Ocean. Pillars of water shot skyward, exploding into a rain of droplets.
"How is this possible?!"
Will's dark crimson eyes bulged slightly, his lips twisting in rigid fury.
The mad king felt an overwhelming force surge through his body, one he couldn't dissipate.
His chest caved inward, narrowly avoiding being pierced through.
The magnetic light shield protecting him shattered instantly.
Such devastating power from a single punch? And it even disrupted his Energy Cannon fist?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ocean trembled, waves surging violently.
Chen Feng, now a rainbow-hued streak of light, moved like an arrow, golden light and crackling electricity trailing behind him. His expression remained indifferent as he closed the distance.
With each step, the ocean floor sank hundreds of meters, forming deep craters in the seabed.
He forcibly tore through the surrounding Force Field, easily crushing the so-called crimson illusion.
Boom!
Finally, another punch erupted.
The terrifying shockwave, like a missile explosion, purged the air and surged forward in a straight line.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Seeing Chen Feng's indifferent gaze, Will's face trembled from the shockwave. Madness flared in his crimson eyes as he fully focused on his opponent.
"Crimson, activate!"
Boom!
Crimson light erupted instantly.
The bionic veins on Will's face surged with core energy, transforming into glowing patterns that spread across his entire body.
Behind him, liquid metal instantly coalesced into crimson energy wings, crackling with arcs of power.
Hum!
In the blink of an eye, all the impact force was forcibly dispersed.
Will's appearance transformed. His face and bare upper body were enveloped in crimson patterns and light. The collapsed chest cavity writhed with metallic tendrils, autonomously repairing itself.
"Come on!"
"Let me see just how far your Martial Arts have truly reached!"
Boom!!
Refusing to yield, Will roared with maniacal fervor, unleashing a cannon-like punch.
The world fell utterly silent, as if annihilated.
The entire sky and all its contents seemed frozen in time.
Until—
Boom!!
Golden Qi and crimson arcs of light erupted simultaneously, shattering the cloud layer and scouring the sky vault clean.
The sea surface within several kilometers sank and collapsed, countless tons of seawater vaporizing into nothingness.
Mud and sand were exposed, seaweed emerged, and the corpses of fish beasts disintegrated into ash.
In the brief, deafening roar, a vast hollow cavity appeared in the great ocean, remaining open for an extended period.
"This..."
The passengers on the distant ferry were utterly stunned. Regardless of their origins or nationalities, their pupils trembled, and their mouths gaped as they witnessed this spectacle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
In the next moment, a series of continuous explosions erupted, like a fleet of missiles bombarding the ocean.
Water columns shot skyward, transforming into torrential rain.
Soaked to the bone, the onlookers could only glimpse golden and crimson arcs flashing across the sea surface, each arc spanning kilometers and carving out another hollow cavity in the ocean.
"Is this what it means to be legendary?"
Celine's pupils contracted and dilated, her voice trembling with awe and disbelief.
Though they had witnessed Legendary-grade battles before, Chen Feng and Will's current clash shattered their understanding, far surpassing the scale of any previous Legendary-grade conflict.
Boom!!
Another thunderous roar shook the heavens and the earth.
A crimson arc of light slammed into the ocean, detonating a kilometer-wide column of seawater that erupted skyward before scattering into rain.
Gale-force winds swept across the surface, churning everything in their path.
The once-frozen sea surged into violent waves, rocking the ferry relentlessly.
"How many stages has he reached?" Yang Wudi murmured, his gaze fixed on the black-robed youth hovering in mid-air. Brown light force swirled around him, repelling the torrential rain.
Behind the youth, the Blazing Sun condensed into a comet-like meteor.
Yang Wudi recalled the path to Transcendence he had once been taught:
The Martial Arts Heavenly Gate: each step a new realm.
Could this opponent have already reached the pinnacle of the world?
"Bring it on!!"
A cold roar shattered his contemplation.
The exploding seawater revealed a hollowed-out zone. Within it, the red-haired Will's skin glowed crimson, scarlet patterns spreading across his body like wildfire.
As the Scarlet Gold Blazing Sun plunged from the sky, threatening to incinerate everything in its path, a smirk curled Will's lips. He braced himself against the shattered seabed, raised his hand to gather power, and summoned crimson wings crackling with crimson energy.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a crimson beam of energy shot skyward, colliding head-on with the descending Blazing Sun.
The world fell silent, the daylight blindingly bright.
The ferry passengers' eyeballs burned, followed by a deafening roar that shook their eardrums and made their hearts pound.
Boom!!
"How could this be happening?"
In the Roth Family's underground base, Ouna clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on the real-time feed displayed on the light screen.
The blinding light obscured the images, the crimson and Scarlet Gold energies locked in a relentless clash.
She struggled to accept this outcome.
This was the family's ultimate trump card, their most formidable asset among the federation's Super Consortiums—a legendary cyborg who had reached the third stage through forbidden experiments, sacrificing his consciousness to achieve this twisted pinnacle.
The strongest being beneath the divine, the mad king Will, whose name echoed throughout the federation.
Yet, instead of crushing the Martial Artist with overwhelming force, he seemed to be on the defensive, constantly suppressed.
"What's wrong with Will?!"
"What is he even doing?!"
Among the Roth Family executives projected into the base, one frowned, equally incredulous.
He suspected Will was holding back, but the real-time monitoring data from the Deep Sea device confirmed that Will had activated all his core energy, entering his most powerful armed mode.
Buzz!
In the next instant, under the watchful gaze of countless somber eyes, the daylight scene on the light screen faded, revealing the latest situation on the great ocean.
Waves surged and subsided as the kilometer-wide hole in the sea slowly healed.
The Red Nation youth stood calmly on the water's surface, clad in a black trench coat, his expression serene. Opposite him, the red-haired man's face twisted in fury, the crimson patterns on his body dimming rapidly.
"You—"
He opened his mouth to speak, then glanced down.
His body, forged through Legendary Creature Modification and fused with mechanical technology, was now severely damaged, its rainbow iron-like structure shattered.
Icy fluid seeped from the gaping wound that had devoured most of his chest, abdomen, and waist, leaving behind an empty oval cavity.
His bionic heart had vanished, and his core energy was critically damaged, crimson arcs of electricity crackling and fading with alarming speed.
I've been gravely wounded?
How long had it been since he'd felt this way? Not since completing his third-stage legendary transformation, fusing Primordial Creature Blood Essence, and perfectly integrating mechanical technology.
Splash!
The seawater churned as the black-robed youth calmly surveyed him from above, his gaze indifferent like that of a superior being.
His tall figure swayed with the waves, yet he made no further move, as if pitying prey on the verge of death.
"You dare hold back?!"
Will's eyes blazed with madness as he roared in fury.
Buzz!
In an instant, bionic flesh and blood vessels sprouted from the empty half of his body.
Upon closer inspection, these were actually nanites, surging forth from his core, coalescing, and shifting color.
Crimson arcs crackled anew, and Will's face contorted as a pair of crimson horns erupted from his forehead.
"My consciousness has devoured the power of Ancient Creatures like the magma giant and crimson wings, shattering the limits of my genetic code."
"I wield the might of mechanical modification and the divinity of Biological Modification."
Crimson arcs filled the gaps in his face as Will's red hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall, revealing cruel, dark red eyes as he lifted his head.
"I will make you understand the gravity of your actions."
"Just how grave a mistake you've made."
Buzz!!
His cold, ruthless voice echoed as his body healed completely in a single breath.
A Crimson Blood Moon materialized behind him, its reflection shimmering on the sea's surface.
He had transformed into a Bull-Horned Head, a red-haired demon reborn at his peak, perhaps even stronger than before!
"This—?!"
Witnessing this from afar, Celine, Yang Wudi, and the others paled as the world turned crimson once more, enveloped by his consciousness and sealed within his domain.
"What kind of modification technology is this?"
"Possessing all the advantages of both mechanical and biological modifications?"
Their pupils constricted. It wasn't just them; the cyborg security personnel on the ferry and others familiar with modification technology were equally stunned, a wave of confusion and terror washing over them.
No one had ever imagined that the third-stage legendary transformation would be the fusion of the two paths of modification.
A mechanical body, a biological god.
When the two become one, transcendent power can be obtained simultaneously!
And it was clear that those who had witnessed this scene would never have the chance to leak the information.
"Exactly!"
"This guy is finally getting serious!"
In the underground base, the Roth Family members' expressions shifted sharply.
Their tense brows relaxed completely. Ouna's eyes lit up, her clenched fists trembling slightly as she felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, as if she were watching Will tear a living person apart with his bare hands.
This was the ultimate power that had left an indelible shadow on their minds—the most formidable legendary being, whose mental distortion, caused by the fusion of genetic consciousness from bio-essence, made him nearly impossible to control.
"It seems this should be over soon," Gaulton, the Roth Family Clan Leader and Ouna's father, said calmly, showing no surprise whatsoever.
At his command, the others followed his gaze to the light screen. High above, the refracted light revealed a hidden force.
It was a Suppression-Type Warship, defying the laws of physics as it hovered motionless, concealed in the shadows.
Optically cloaked, it refracted all light and had activated silent mode, suppressing all energy fields and signals.
"You actually deployed the Noah?"
The Roth Family's top executives were astonished, realizing their opponent had prepared so thoroughly.
"If not for Will's temperament—fearing his displeasure—I wouldn't have hesitated to involve the Noah."
"I issued the order to fire moments ago," Gaulton stated calmly, his voice radiating absolute control.
Though he remained uncertain about what lay hidden beneath the seabed, with the Noah's support, this ambush would achieve a flawless outcome.
"Looks like... you're doomed!"
Ouna's azure eyes gleamed brighter as she admired her Lord Father's strategic acumen. Staring at the young man's figure on the screen, she felt the humiliation and resentment she had endured were about to be avenged.
All eyes turned to the scene: a crimson sky dominated by an inverted Blood Moon.
The boundless ocean was sealed within a domain—a powerful consciousness approaching the level of a spiritual world.
"Heh."
Will's lips curled into a sneer, his bull-horned, humanoid form resembling a hell monarch.
Seeing Chen Feng standing motionless, he smirked coldly, his crimson hair billowing in the wind.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the sea surged violently. Will vanished, reappearing behind Chen Feng.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves exploded into the sky, leaving trails of afterimages across the sea's surface.
Dozens, hundreds, over a thousand.
He had nearly reached the pinnacle of worldly speed. A dense swarm of Bull-Horned Heads filled the space, all glaring down at Chen Feng.
"Looks like you're quite powerless, aren't you?"
He cackled maniacally, his crimson hair whipping wildly, blood-red patterns crawling across his body.
The Crimson Blood Moon hung high in the sky, warping reality and corrupting the world.
In a daze, everyone's vision blurred as hundreds, no, thousands of hell monarchs moved simultaneously. Crimson beams of energy surged from their bull-like horns, erupting in a chaotic barrage.
"Then..."
"It ends now."
Boom!!
A tidal wave of golden light swept outward, banishing the crimson darkness that had enveloped the world.
His words were cut short once again. The Pinnacle Intent, fused with mental power, erupted violently, shattering his twisted will.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the bull-horned figures of the hell monarchs exploded in mid-air, crimson arcs of energy fizzling into nothingness.
A powerful golden domain replaced the crimson, warping gravity and suppressing all existence.
Thud!
The crimson-haired figure was crushed to the sea surface, kneeling in submission.
Endless golden light coalesced into chains, binding him tightly. Simultaneously, gravity solidified, creating a suppression-class Force Field that sealed off the entire sea surface.
"You..."
His face contorted in horror, his crimson eyes contracting and trembling, as if suddenly clearing with a newfound clarity.
Will, a third-stage legendary, was utterly suppressed, his spiritual world shattered, and cracks spiderwebbed across his bull horns.
"This...!"
"How is this possible?!"
The Roth Family Base erupted in chaos. Everyone's faces paled, doubting their senses. Even Clan Leader Gaulton's pupils constricted, his expression shifting dramatically.
"That's the mad king Will!"
"How could he be suppressed and defeated?!"
Ouna leaped to her feet, her voice shrill with disbelief. The triumphant expression vanished, replaced by trembling pallor and boundless terror.
Countless gazes burned with disbelief as the Roth Family's leaders fell into a stunned silence.
On the screen, Will stood disheveled, his pupils trembling, acutely aware of the crushing suppression he faced.
It was a gravity beyond comprehension, sealing the entire space.
The ocean solidified into a glassy stillness.
Every breath was choked by the absence of air. The golden chains binding his body were unbreakable, impervious to his desperate struggles.
Buzz!
A faint breeze suddenly stirred the air before him.
A ripple disturbed the frozen sea as a pair of black leather boots stepped slowly into view, planting themselves before him.
The Bull-Horned Head, his hair disheveled, struggled to lift himself. Will, unwilling to accept humiliation, erupted with power, his body trembling as he glared fiercely at the approaching figure of the Red Nation youth.
"Do you think I showed mercy earlier?" Chen Feng asked, his voice indifferent as his deep gaze swept down upon his opponent.
The sea lay as smooth as a sapphire mirror, reflecting the two figures: one standing tall, the other kneeling, like a king and his defeated subject, frozen in time and space.
Witnessing this scene, the distant ferry stilled its movements. Every figure on board swallowed hard, their faces etched with awe, daring not to utter a sound.
The clear, boundless sky stretched overhead, while the tranquil azure sea mirrored the unyielding defiance burning in Will's crimson eyes.
"You... you want to humiliate me?" Will's voice trembled as he gritted his teeth, the golden chains constricting around him.
But contrary to his expectations, Chen Feng tilted his head slightly, as if perceiving the colossal warship lurking in the shadows.
"Humiliate you?" Chen Feng shook his head gently, his gaze shifting, a predatory flame igniting in his eyes.
In a daze, the Roth Family members monitoring the area barely regained their senses, feeling as if Chen Feng's gaze had pierced through layers of space to lock onto them from afar.
That icy stare pierced their hearts, followed by a voice that seemed to echo directly in their minds.
"I just want to..."
"...slaughter all of you."
