The seventh floor should have been very bright due to the bright lights, but for some reason, it dimmed inexplicably, as if all the light was gathered in Le Yu's palm, leaving only faint moonlight shining on the Ironfaced Man!

This was clearly the hallmark of the Peak of Perfection realm. In an area with limited light, when a martial artist of the Peak of Perfection realm uses a combat technique, a 'domain-like' effect appears, significantly enhancing their strength while drastically reducing the combat power of their opponent. The principle is simple—since most of the light is used by them, the enemy naturally has no light to use.

In fact, all martial artists engaged in combat are sharing the same resource: light. However, martial artists below the Integration and Mastery realm have too low a rate of absorption and utilization of light, making it difficult to achieve a 'drain the resources for one's use' effect.

In contrast, martial artists of the Peak of Perfection realm mean that every bit of spiritual power can draw a bit of light, with utilization exceeding 90%. Coupled with the spiritual power of advanced martial artists being invariably tenacious and vast, just a slight move can make the world turn dark, and their full-force strikes can be like the dawn breaking through!

In ancient myths, land immortals often had the power to 'steal the sky and change the day', which specifically refers to their ability to create 'domain-like' effects during the day. Enemies in the 'domain' naturally feel like day has suddenly turned to night because all the light has been taken away by the land immortals.

However, much of the content about the Peak of Perfection realm was Le Yu's speculation. Even with the memories of Qin Le Yin as a reference, there were still many errors because truly valuable knowledge is never spread widely—not that they are being conservative, but just like ordinary people wouldn't know to check resources from Zhinet, no one would take an intermediate martial artist to appreciate the view from the highest peak before they achieve the Peak of Perfection realm.

Le Yu already vaguely felt the Ice Blood boiling, his brain wailing, tear glands even uncontrollably overflowing with tears, and a loud roar involuntarily coming from his mouth!

He wasn't executing a combat technique!

The combat technique was dominating him!

It was like using an old computer to play the latest light-tracing game; although the program ran, it forcibly squeezed out every ounce of the computer's performance! Forcibly unleashing the arcane powers of the Peak of Perfection realm, Le Yu couldn't stop!

But he didn't need to stop!

Cry!

Scream!

And then just die for me!

The shattering light burst easily tore through Ironfaced Man's protective Light Armor. In a flash, Le Yu's claws danced wildly, each strike bringing out flesh. His nails played a melody on bones, his palms drummed on viscera, creating a disaster, as dark fragments of flesh fled with the moonlight!

The Ironfaced Man was like a carrot, peeled of countless layers of skin within seconds!

Pa!

After venting like a madman, Le Yu grabbed the Ironfaced Man's neck with both hands, deeply inserting his thumbs into his throat, and the final light burst condensed and erupted!

Boom!

Like the explosion of Luminous Firepowder, Le Yu injected the light burst into Ironfaced Man's body through his thumb, causing an explosion so potent it even blew out his thumb, exposing bone!

The Ironfaced Man flew out like a kite with broken strings, slamming into the glazed window of the Platinum Tower. It was evident the window had been reinforced by Cha Huan, becoming one with the Platinum Tower, and would not shatter from such an impact. However, the next second, the Ironfaced Man immediately steadied himself, fiercely charging at Le Yu!

Even though he was no longer human!

Even though his internal organs and intestines were spilling out!

Even though his head could fall off at any moment!

But he just wouldn't die!

Even with the protection of the Ice Blood Physique, Le Yu still felt a tingle down his spine—it reminded him of his first time watching a zombie movie. These dirty creatures that would never die no matter what, able to continue fighting against all odds, yet eerily similar in appearance to himself, truly induced the deepest fear.

It was the fear of the incomprehensible and eerie existence.

Le Yu mustered his strength, fearlessly meeting the Ironfaced Man!

Forcibly executing the Forbidden One Hundred and Twenty-One Styles, Le Yu now felt like a towel full of water that had been wrung dry, drained without a single drop left... though he hadn't checked, he knew his muscles were forcibly torn, and his spirit was dangerously depleted.

The Forbidden One Hundred and Twenty-One Styles, with 'Forbidden' as its prefix, was because it was dangerous even for those in the Peak of Perfection realm to use. In the power-enhanced version from the collection Cha Huan provided, it was speculated that this move was not originally meant for combat but as a form of punishment: tearing a person to pieces with bare hands.

Even the grandmaster of the Eight Paths who created this move probably never imagined that someone could still be lively after being hit by it.

Biting Battle Technique · Desolate Bite!

Boom!

As both sides' light bursts collided, Le Yu immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise.

Though he didn't understand why the Ironfaced Man was still moving, ultimately he was restricted by physical reality—having lost so much of his organs, flesh, and muscle, his strength and light burst were no match for before, unable to overwhelm Le Yu anymore.

Le Yu successfully dragged him to a level even lower than his own, and now it was relying on his rich experience to defeat him!

Yu Song!

Hong Tu!

Huang Tan!

The situation completely reversed—earlier, it was the Ironfaced Man beating Le Yu like a father to a son; now, it was Le Yu beating the Ironfaced Man like a grandfather to a grandson! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; you were the dad then, now I'm the granddad!

Xuan Wen!

Le Yu unleashed a series of rapid shadow-like strikes, like dozens of venomous snakes biting at the Ironfaced Man. Though the Ironfaced Man attempted to block, his body simply couldn't allow him to use such techniques, getting smashed against the wall by Le Yu!

Le Yu took the chance to get close, his right hand forming a claw to condense a light burst, exerting all his might to resolve him!

However, the Ironfaced Man instantly used an identical move, the same claw strike, the same light burst!

But this time, it was Le Yu's light burst that overwhelmed, crushed, and penetrated his light!

Biting Battle Technique · Desolate Bite!

Le Yu shattered the Ironfaced Man's right hand, piercing through his spine and emerging from his back, blasting a gaping hole through him!

"Cough cough... cough cough..." The Ironfaced Man's throat made a hoarse sound, his body trembling uncontrollably. His iron mask had cracked mostly, revealing a withered, aged face. He stared intently at Le Yu, a sudden gleam appearing in the dead silence of his eyes.

"Rest now." Le Yu said.

The Ironfaced Man wanted to say something, but his throat had long been gouged open by Le Yu. He suddenly cupped his hand over his throat wound, using the harmonious combat technique to vibrate and produce sound: "Yu... Yu..."

"Yu Song... Hua Xiao... Huang Tan... counter... can perfectly counteract... close quarters..."

He gazed at Le Yu: "Desolate Bite... very beautiful."

Screech!

His neck finally couldn't withstand the strain, tearing apart with his head rolling away, his body finally relented, peacefully transforming into a corpse.

Le Yu withdrew his arm, watching his body slump gently down the wall, nodding slightly: "Thank you for the guidance."
