Invincible Within the Same Realm

Hai Xianglong's skeleton had been bestowed upon him by Hai Wuchang. Hai Wuchang had obtained it by chance from another world. First, its attributes suited Hai Xianglong; second, Hai Wuchang had wanted to win him over completely. This skeleton had belonged to a being standing at the very pinnacle of another world. It had perished after undergoing a Divine Tribulation, leaving its skeleton wholly intact, and its power had long surpassed that of ordinary Law God Realm cultivators.

Even as a mere skeleton, once Hai Xianglong refined it into an avatar, it was comparable to an ordinary peak Law God Realm expert. Moreover, Hai Xianglong had learned to thoroughly merge this avatar with his own power. He could control the flying dragon from within it in battle, making its might even more formidable. This was his greatest secret, and also the reason Hai Wuchang trusted him and kept him around.

Hai Xianglong had revealed this trump card now precisely to utterly kill Ren Jie and seize the immortal artifact. In his view, with his own power supplemented by an immortal artifact, who in the entire cultivation world could possibly contend against him?

The instant he unleashed the flying dragon, merged into it, and condensed its body, Hai Xianglong heard the astonished cries behind him and felt utterly exhilarated. In his eyes, Ren Jie must have been frightened stiff by now...

Unfortunately, that thought had only just surfaced when he heard Ren Jie's words. The next moment, Ren Jie took a single step forward, his body instantly swelling into a colossal hundred-zhang giant as an enormous fist came smashing toward him.

Hai Xianglong's heart sank
