"He mastered the world of Scythe intent without ever entering the realm of Nirvana. This guy's talent in Scythe cultivation is absolutely unparalleled in ancient and modern times!" Skyler couldn't help but admire.

Through the vast history of Skyreach Territory, and even the entire Oceanreach, no one had ever mastered transforming the world before reaching the Mahayana or Nirvana realms.

Even the top geniuses of the entire Oceanreach Continent only touch the transforming world threshold in the late stage of Mahayana.

Only a tiny fraction of geniuses and monsters could truly reach the transforming world level at the middle stages of Mahayana.

"If this child enters the Nirvana realm, he'll likely become an invincible existence under the Supreme Realm, capable of fighting on equal footing with me!" Skyler mused quietly.

This was no exaggeration given the duel's outcome. Cain Ashenvale had thrown everything into the fight and still lost miserably. Ethan emerged unscathed, save for slight aura fluctuations—a crushing victory.

Throughout the battle, Ethan only showcased his fighting techniques, his strong physical body, his scythe skills, and the ability to transform the world with his scythe intent. Not once did he unleash his Dharma body.

Skyler believed Ethan had used less than 50% of his full strength—possibly much less—yet he won so effortlessly.

"The Blood Tavern has been unexpectedly gifted with such a talent. It seems our city lord's palace started too late…" Skyler sighed regretfully.

Noel Ashenvale and the middle-aged woman guarding Cain wore grim expressions. They never imagined their esteemed young master, the honored son of the Holy Land, could be utterly defeated by a mere physical cultivator of unknown origin.

"The scythe intent and how this boy wields it!" the woman clenched her fists tightly.

"This child must not live. He should be eliminated without mercy!" Noel Ashenvale's eyes chilled in determination.

"No! What is he doing?!" the woman suddenly exclaimed.

Their gazes turned toward Ethan, who was already by Cain's side, kneeling before the wounded young master.

Cain Ashenvale, twisted and crawling on the dusted ground, appeared pitiful and ridiculous.

"The Four Spirit Holy Body is nothing but a hollow boast," Ethan said coldly.

"You know the rules of this duel, yet you refuse to admit defeat. Then I have no choice but to end your life!" Ethan said, his tone calm yet laced with lethal intent.

"You dare to kill me? Do you know who I am?!" Cain coughed, struggling for breath as blood poured from his mouth.

Ethan slapped Cain's face, twisting it cruelly, and two teeth shattered and fell.

"A defeated dog still dares to bark—how foolish to be so blind," Ethan mocked.

"You… if you kill me, it means war with the entire Holy Land of Endless Mountains. You will be hunted endlessly!" Cain spat defiantly, blood dripping viciously.

"Do you really think the young master of the Ashenvale family represents the mighty Holy Land of Endless Mountains?" Ethan asked coldly.

"So what? My Ashenvale family alone can kill you, and none of your relatives or friends will be spared!" Cain threatened with a hatred burning in his eyes.

"Sorry, I'm an orphan. I have no friends," Ethan replied composedly.

Half true, half false. He truly was an orphan, but he acted like someone utterly friendless.

"Haha, is that so? You think that I'm a child, and the Phoenix transformed girl is your spiritual pet? Don't worry. If I die, she'll be buried with me!" Cain growled fiercely.

"Ah… okay, whatever you say," Ethan said, slightly impatient.

Is there any reason in this world that if someone wants to kill me, I can't kill them?

"Onyx, can your devouring power swallow this guy's Four Spirit Holy Body and transfer it to me?" Ethan thought quietly.

"The power of devouring can swallow all things. Devouring Cain Ashenvale's Four Spirit Holy Body is no problem. But fusing his Four Spirit Holy Body into yours will be difficult," Onyx responded inside Ethan's mind.

"As long as you can swallow it."

Ethan chuckled, stretched out his palm, and grabbed Cain by the neck, lifting him like a mere chicken.

He looked slowly around with sharp eyes, sending a clear message to all watching: although Ethan is cornered, not just anyone can step on him.

Finally, Ethan's eyes fixed on Seraphina.

At this moment, Seraphina clenched her nails tightly, biting her lips red, her face pale with helplessness.

She couldn't accept the reality but could do nothing but watch Ethan's arrogance steal the spotlight.

Ethan's eyes brimmed with contempt and ridicule, like knives piercing Seraphina's heart.

She was filled with growing resentment.

The physical cultivation system she once despised now crushed the Holy Land's young prodigy.

This was a bitter, crushing blow to her pride.

Buzz~

Seraphina spat bitterly, a buzzing ringing in her ears.

Her anger scorched her heart, spiritual energy rebelling within, and cracks appeared in her Taoist heart.

Her realm plummeted to the early stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

"Ethan!" Seraphina roared silently.

She forced control over her emotions.

Then she stared dagger-like at Ethan.

"Ethan, I advise caution. If you dare kill Mr. Cain, are you prepared for the consequences?"

"Do you know what it might cost you?"

"The whole Azure Origin Dao Sect will suffer because of your choice!" Seraphina warned via voice message.

"What a foolish woman," Ethan thought with a sneer. He didn't reply.

"Swallow!"

His palm opened using the power of devouring, conjuring a black vortex.

The vortex pressed against Cain Ashenvale's neck, slowly absorbing blood and spiritual energy.

Then the legendary Four Spirit Holy Body in Cain's spine began to separate visibly.

A transparent four-colored spine emerged.

At the same time, his Four Spirit Holy Body slowly detached, streaming toward Ethan's palm.

Cain's face twisted in horror, pupils trembling wildly with disbelief.

"You... What are you doing?" Cain gasped.

"How can you absorb my Four Spirit Holy Body?!"

He choked on his own fear.

"Stop! Stop it! Me!"

Cain Ashenvale writhed desperately, trying to break free from Ethan's grasp.

But his severely wounded body refused to obey.

He was trapped, powerless to resist.
