This is why it has the confidence to make the Joker League submit to it. In the ladder, all respect must be earned with fists; a mere title is useless!
"The one who brings you fear!"
Jiang Yuan grinned, and then an ancient aura descended upon the seabed, like a star god who reigned supreme for eternity.
"You, a mere god-level being, dare to utter such arrogant words? How could I, Austin, be afraid of you!" The ladder guardian's voice was loud, as if trying to cover up the unease deep within its heart.
The person who suddenly appeared was too strange; he had only seen that unfathomable aura on the guards of the higher-level ladders.
"One strike to decide life or death, don't worry, it'll be quick!"
With divine battle and forbidden killing combined, the power of the blood dragon brought by the Bone Secret merged into his starry glass-like right arm through blood-like threads. He had mastered the secrets of top-level duels, and his attack was a killing move several times stronger than his own.
"Fine, since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"
Knowing that it had been locked into the top-tier showdown, Austin went all out. It had heard of the top-tier showdown, which was a fair contest where the loser would be stripped of part of the Deep Sea Mysteries. In other words, the loser would lose everything.
"The Dragon's Roar of the Azure Sea Sword!"
Austin flicked the tip of his sword, and a magnificent Stegosaurus appeared. It attacked along with the clownfish, wanting to personally annihilate this newly born royal army.
The clownfish, unusually, did not hide in the mud and sand. It stood between Jiang Yuan and Austin, waiting for the attack to come as if it had seen through the nature of fish life.
Overcoming fear is nothing; the real challenge is facing it head-on. But it is ready, and no one can frighten the clownfish!
"That does give you some guts, but that's what makes me interested in creating a sea god!"
Jiang Yuan, overwhelmed by the convergence of all techniques, raised his fist, his mind filled with the true essence of that fist technique.
Does boxing have set patterns?
In the past, Jiang Yuan would have answered without hesitation that yes. He had progressed from mastering the high-quality imitation of the Ancient God's Three Fists to mastering the ultimate Eternal God Fist. His fist techniques were constantly being updated, just like ranks; a good fist technique was far stronger than a bad one.
However, Jiang Yuan has now abandoned this idea.
The fist is a derivative of the human body. Its strength depends more on the development of the physical universe and the subtle control of power by the body. What is strong is always oneself, not the fist technique.
"Eternal Divine Fist".
Jiang Yuan threw a punch. The moment he threw the punch, time and space seemed to reverse. The boundless, desolate wilderness and the vast starry universe were filled with the presence of a single punch that could transcend the limitations of time and space.
"Severing all ages!"
The fist strikes, the sword dragon shatters.
This scene unfolded within the First Step, and a sense of dread crept into the hearts of the sea creatures who had fought on the First Step for countless years; the First Step was about to change.
"How is that possible!"
At the end of the first ladder, Austin stared in disbelief at the not-so-large fist in front of him. In the distance, the Stegosaurus was broken into pieces, its blow as if made of paper under the opponent's fist.
You lost!
The soft words rang in Austin's ears, and the world spun before his eyes. The last thing he saw was a land god standing in the deep sea.
"No, I didn't lose!"
"Deep-sea ritual!"
Austin ultimately launched a suicidal attack, which was the foundation of its ability to survive in the deep sea.
Deep Sea Sacrifice, an exclusive talent, allows one to sacrifice oneself or another as a sacrifice. Once the sacrifice begins, the curse of the deep sea will persist unless the sacrifice dies.
"The ritual has begun. I'll be waiting for you down there!"
Austin, having delivered the blow, gave Jiang Yuan a sinister smile.
"It's all in vain. What I've been waiting for is your sacrifice!"
The eternal pressure of God completely extinguished Austin's life force, and after doing all this, a trident symbol appeared on Jiang Yuan's chest.
"So, the war between land and sea has already begun!"
Austin's eyes gradually dimmed. Seventy percent of its profound power had been absorbed, and even if it survived, it would be useless. So it chose to fight to the death, but unfortunately, its opponent was prepared, and it had no chance.
"The Mark of the Dead increases by one, and the talent 'Deep Sea Ritual' is gained (cannot be used)."
Jiang Yuan coldly looked at the trident symbol on his chest; he killed Austin for this very symbol.
Deep Sea Sacrifice: Offerings to the deep sea, grow strong, for the weak are unworthy to be sacrifices to the sea god.
