"Haha! Surprised? Didn't see that coming?"
"I bet you never dreamed I'd come back and wait for you in your own lair!"
A wild, mocking smile tugged at Li Yun's lips as his laughter rang across Moon God Star.
At the same time, a blade's radiance pierced the sky. The ferocious strike fell, and no matter how unwilling Saint King Manhai was or how furiously he roared, nothing could save him.
The blade flashed.
Saint King Manhai's agonized scream stopped dead. His mighty Saint King body was annihilated inch by inch beneath Li Yun's domineering strike.
Only the Saint King Dao Fruit he had poured untold effort into refining remained intact. Driven by his lingering will, it throbbed frantically, still desperate to escape.
But how could Li Yun give him that chance?
A killing left unfinished was no killing at all.

"Trying to leave? Dream on!"

Boom!
In an instant, the Saint King Dao Fruit burst apart inside the Gate of Myriad Wonders.
The Gate of Myriad Wonders absorbed its countless strands of Saint King Dao Resonance on its own, swiftly converting them into the Myriad Wonders Points Li Yun needed most.
One hundred billion!
