Ryan frowned upon hearing this name, and said in a deep voice, "Eternal? Are you an Awakener?"

Herag remained silent and did not answer his question.

"It should be, otherwise, I wouldn't have sensed your bloodline's aura until now," Ryan said.

He looked at Herag and said, "Even though you're an Awakener, I still need to take back my bloodline power. There's not much Ancestral Bloodline left, and it's meaningless to have it thinly distributed. It would be better to gather it all in me, only then can I reach the final step."

Ryan's words sounded justified, as if the Ancestral Bloodline in Herag's body rightfully belonged to him.

Herag said, "Exactly my thoughts."

He was also eyeing the bloodline power within Ryan; the only thing to consider was whether he could defeat the opponent.

Herag had been silent, continuously assessing the gap in strength between the two.

He discovered that Ryan was probably just a Level 6 Creature, not having broken through to Level 6.

It was only because the bloodline power was of such high rank that Ryan appeared very strong.

Herag was certain that his own development of his bloodline was not as advanced as Ryan's. At most, he barely counted as a Level 6 Creature; his actual combat ability was far inferior to Ryan's.

But he still possessed the power of the Wizard System.

Within Herag's domain was the newly created Eternal Rule, which was where he surpassed Ryan.

Ryan's strength was entirely derived from the Ancestral Bloodline Power. His physical power definitely far exceeded Herag's, whose development and accumulation of bloodline power were still lacking.

It seemed that Ryan had been at this level for a long time without being able to break through.

Now, Herag's presence provided Ryan with the opportunity for a breakthrough.

The Ancestral Bloodline Power within Herag was an irresistible temptation for Ryan. As long as he absorbed that bloodline power, Ryan knew he could take that step forward.

Overcast clouds gathered, thunder rumbled.

In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was shrouded in dark clouds, blocking out the sun, casting the world into darkness.

Between the dark clouds, lightning also gathered, with a web of electricity flashing ceaselessly across the sky.

After Herag's domain unfolded, it never retracted. Ryan's domain was also unfurled, but his was merely the domain of the Ancestral Bloodline, unlike Herag's, which contained some Rule Powers.

Ryan stretched out his hand, and dozens of lightning bolts several meters in diameter descended from the sky, striking Herag.

Herag had long sensed the movement of the sky's rules overhead but was completely unfazed.

These bolts of lightning, infused with Thunder Element Rule Power and Power of Destruction, struck Herag, all their power pouring into his body only to vanish without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

This scene was like the special effects used for filmmaking in the Boundary Land—show without actual power.

But this was not the case. Ryan's personally delivered lightning attacks couldn't possibly be just for show.

It was all because Herag was within his own domain, under the flow of the Eternal Rule, making him impervious to harm.

With an Eternal body and spirit, undying and indestructible.

Ryan did not know this; his research on Rule Power naturally wasn't as deep as Herag's, leaving him momentarily perplexed.

He mistakenly assumed Herag, like him, was purely an Ancestral Bloodline holder, not considering that Herag could also be a Wizard.

Ryan's use of the rules was entirely instinctive, unlike Wizards who delve deeply in research, lacking such foundational knowledge systems.

Thus, upon seeing the unfamiliar Rule Powers within Herag's domain, he was puzzled, having never encountered such things before.

Ryan originally believed he had thorough understanding of the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline Power, only to find that there were forces he had never seen.

He thought the Eternal Rule within Herag's domain was also part of the Ancestral Bloodline Power.

This made Ryan even more eager to seize the Ancestral Bloodline Power from within Herag's body.

Ryan stood atop twin peaks, his body submerged in thunderclouds, howling to the sky, drawing countless lightning bolts to converge upon him, forming a layer of Thunder Armor over his body.

The next instant, Ryan appeared above Herag, with a massive fist nearly covering the sky, crashing down like a meteorite.

Herag, with a thought, appeared far away, easily dodging the strike.

"This kind of fleeing is meaningless. Only one of us can survive this battle, don't waste time, my brother. Even if I die in battle, that's my destiny," Ryan said gravely.

They both knew well, that if either of them wanted to escape, it would be easy, and neither could do anything to the other.

If Herag just kept evading, the battle would never reach a conclusion.

Ryan calling Herag brother was not just politeness, but genuine belief.

For them, bloodline was the most direct connection.

Those with only a trace of bloodline like the little black figure naturally weren't acknowledged, only those like Herag, with a perfect bloodline, would Ryan consider his kin.

Originally, they were no different from other demons in the Abyss Plane, with complete bloodline inheritance in their bodies.

For them to continue progressing further, this step was unavoidable, it was inevitable.

Herag could easily avoid conflict by simply not fighting Ryan.

But similarly, the Ancestral Bloodline within Ryan was equally important to him.

Though Herag had not yet reached that point, he would eventually be stalled due to insufficient bloodline power.

Moreover, even if he wanted to escape now, there was nowhere to go, for Ryan would undoubtedly pursue relentlessly.

After evaluating their strength differences, Herag decided a battle was worth trying.

He immersed himself in his thoughts, his body rapidly expanding in size.

This time he did not deliberately control himself, and in an instant, he transformed into an enormous demon god-like figure over four hundred meters tall.

However, compared to Ryan, his size was much smaller.

The two colossal demon gods stood between the mountains, as if in a toy arena.

"Titan Power!"

Herag had forgotten how long it had been since he used this magic. Ever since he ascended to Level 2 Wizard, the occasions for using Titan Power dwindled.

Because the Rule Power was too strong, physical power still paled in comparison.

But this time, it came into play once again.

Herag's spiritual power was now vastly improved, his form expanded again, and in a blink, it swelled to about twelve hundred meters, far surpassing Ryan in size.

Now his entire upper body was completely hidden in the depths of the clouds, only the lower half visible beneath.

Herag said nothing, the part of him above the clouds raised his right hand, gently punching toward the ground, whipping up a gust of wind.
