This humble swordsman once shattered an army of ten thousand with this very body!

["Chen Xin was... breaking through?!!"]

["He was going to attempt Level 97? At a time like this!!"]

[Qian Jun Douluo's pupils contracted sharply. The spell seal in his hand abruptly tightened, his face filled with disbelief.]

["For Super Douluo at Level 95 and above, every level is a heavenly chasm. So many people remain trapped at a bottleneck for decades without advancing an inch."]

["Especially upon reaching Level 96. Beyond that lie three stages that can touch the divine level!"]

["Legend has it that at Level 97, the clouds part to reveal the moon, offering a glimpse of Soul Power's true mysteries. The moon is like Soul Power. Every subsequent level breaks through another realm, offering a glimpse of the path to godhood!"]

["Level 97, breaking through space to touch the moon-the Moon-Touch Realm!"]

["Level 98, destroying the heavens and cleaving the moon-the Moon-Breaking Realm!"]

["Level 99, turning the stars and commanding the moon, wielding it in a state of boundless freedom-the Moon-Riding Realm!"]

[Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Ning Rongrong were equally astonished at the sight.]

[Chen Xin actually dared to break through mid-battle, with four great Titled Douluo surrounding him?!]

["Why the fuck are you still wasting words?!" Jiang Mo's stern voice thundered. "We absolutely cannot let him break through! If he succeeds, even the four of us might not be able to stop him!"]

["Attack together! Kill him before he breaks through!!"]

[In an instant, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Snake Lance, and Pufferfish went all out, charging straight at Chen Xin to slay him utterly before he completed his breakthrough.]

["Elder Bone!" Ning Fengzhi glanced at Gu Rong beside him.]

[Gu Rong understood immediately. He abruptly stepped forward, fully unleashing his Bone Dragon Martial Soul Avatar, its pitch-black bone wings blotting out the sky and sun.]

["If you want to touch my man, ask whether I agree first!!"]

[He swept his hands, and several pitch-black spatial rifts stretched across the four men's path. Layer upon layer of space twisted into thick void barriers, blasting toward all four at once.]

["Spatial Annihilation!!!"]

["Devour the Starry Sky!!!"]

[Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong also activated their respective Martial Souls, pushing them to the limit.]

[The seven-story Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and nine-story Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda hovered in midair. Their gentle glazed light shone upon each other, enhancement power pouring endlessly into Gu Rong like a tide.]

[As long as Chen Xin successfully broke through, what would these enemies amount to?!]

["Don't even think about it!!"]

[Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and the other two shouted simultaneously, their offensive instantly growing more ferocious.]

[Gu Rong gritted his teeth and held firm. His spatial barriers kept cracking under the four men's successive attacks, and black blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, yet he did not retreat half a step.]

[He knew perfectly well that every step he retreated would put Chen Xin in greater danger and increase the possibility of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's destruction.]

The beings of both worlds watched this scene.

Their hearts instantly leaped into their throats.

"Holy freaking shit! The Manga World's Chen Xin actually broke through mid-battle at a time like this?!"

"But he's facing four Titled Douluo! Can Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong hold them off? It looks pretty dicey to me!"

"If his breakthrough is even one step too late, they'll truly lose the whole board!"

"And more importantly, in the Manga World, you can glimpse the path to godhood just by reaching Level 97?!"

"Heavens! The path to godhood! They say that in our Anime World, you only have a chance of glimpsing an opportunity to become a god at Level 99!"

"The Manga World can do it at Level 97. Doesn't that make it even stronger than our Anime World?!"

For a time, the entire Anime World boiled over.

Especially the major powerful factions, including Sea God Island and Spirit Hall.

After all, the Anime World had quite a few experts above Level 97!

If they went to the Manga World, wouldn't they all have a chance of becoming gods?!

Anime World.

Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.

Watching the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang first froze, then sneered without the slightest restraint:

"Wishful thinking! Breaking through mid-battle already means nine chances of death against one of survival, let alone with four great Titled Douluo surrounding him?!"

"Ning Rongrong, just wait and watch your Grandpa Sword from the other world get killed before his breakthrough, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be utterly destroyed!"

Ning Rongrong angrily shot back:

"All you do is bark nonstop! Aren't you sick of it?! Just you wait! Grandpa in the other world will definitely succeed in breaking through!!"

Manga World.

Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong, who had already fallen into despair, instantly rekindled her hope upon seeing this:

"Grandpa Sword... he's breaking past Level 96 and attempting Level 97! You have to succeed!!"

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing gently patted her back beside her, comforting her:

"Senior Sword's resolve far exceeds that of ordinary people. He'll definitely succeed in breaking through. Rongrong, believe in your Grandpa Sword!!"

Meanwhile, upon the Sky Screen.

The glorious moment continued to unfold:

[Rumble!!!]

[The thunder of the four great Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall's attacks kept erupting atop the mountain. Gu Rong's spatial barriers shattered layer after layer.]

[Although he was the world's foremost Douluo in defense and uncanny abilities, he was facing the all-out attacks of four great Titled Douluo, after all, and his defenses gradually crumbled.]

["Sect Master! Rongrong! Disciples! Increase your support!!" Gu Rong roared, forcing his body to hold on.]

["All disciples, heed my command! Give it everything!!" Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong had already reached their limits and could only place their hopes in the disciples.]

["Yes!" The disciples lit up their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas, enhancing Gu Rong.]

["Kill those meddlesome ants!!!" Qian Jun and Jiang Mo were no fools. They immediately commanded the army of over ten thousand Soul Masters behind them.]

[In an instant, the army of over ten thousand Soul Masters charged at those disciples. Unable even to protect themselves, they could no longer enhance Gu Rong.]

[Without their enhancements, Gu Rong finally could not hold on any longer.]

["Aah!!"]

[A gap was blasted through the bone wings behind him. The shock wave sent him flying backward, slamming heavily into the ruins as he coughed up a large mouthful of black blood.]

["So much for the world's greatest defense! It's all over! Die!" Qian Jun Douluo laughed viciously at the sight. The four men's strongest combined strike gathered once more, hurtling straight toward Chen Xin, who sat cross-legged in the midst of his breakthrough.]

[Yet at that moment, when everything hung by a thread, an incomparably clear sword cry suddenly rang throughout heaven and earth!]

[Hum!!!]

[The smoke and dust filling the sky were abruptly pushed aside by invisible sword intent. Chen Xin slowly opened his eyes.]

[His eyes no longer held their former cold sharpness, but sword intent as clear as moonlight. His white robes stirred without wind, and even the rubble at his feet floated gently beneath his sword intent.]

[His formerly white hair instantly turned golden, radiant as the sun, stirring without wind.]

[Level 97-the Moon-Touch Realm, achieved!]

["He did it! Grandpa Sword did it!!"]

[Ning Rongrong instantly cheered, as did Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong beside her.]

["You lot, stand down."]

[Chen Xin spoke those few words softly. He did not draw his sword, merely joining two fingers and slashing forward.]

[There was no earth-shaking explosion, only a pale silver strand of sword energy, condensed to the utmost, sweeping across the sky.]

[The four men's expressions changed drastically. They simultaneously activated their strongest defensive Soul Skills, yet with a mere ripping sound, their defenses were easily torn apart like paper. All four spat out blood and were sent flying backward.]

["How is this possible... he broke through our combined attack so easily?!" Qian Jun clutched his chest, his eyes filled with horror. He could clearly sense that Chen Xin's strength after his breakthrough had improved by far more than a single notch.]

["Damn it! We can only use that move!" Qian Jun roared fiercely. "Form up! Activate the Ten-Thousand-Soul Battle Formation! I refuse to believe he can break a formation of fourteen thousand Soul Masters alone!"]

[At his command, Spirit Hall's Soul Masters covering the mountains immediately circulated their Soul Power. The light of their Soul Rings joined into a pitch-black ocean, terrifying pressure condensing into substance and bearing down on the people atop the ruins.]

[Once the Ten-Thousand-Soul Battle Formation took shape, even the four great Titled Douluo together would have to give it a wide berth. They refused to believe it could not threaten Chen Xin alone!]

["This is bad!!"]

[Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened slightly. Gu Rong also struggled to his feet, gazing gravely at that dark mass of Soul Masters.]

[Chen Xin, however, remained calm, his figure still straight as a pine as he gently raised his right arm.]

["Sword, come!!!"]

[As his words fell, a dazzling Seven Kill Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.]

["One sword, Heaven-Opening Gate!!!"]

[Boom!!]

[A gigantic surge of Seven Kill Sword energy soared into the sky, cleaving the wind and snow in two before crashing down.]

[The seemingly indestructible Ten-Thousand-Soul Battle Formation shattered like thin ice beneath that single sword strike.]

[The Soul Masters in front were hurled away by the sword energy before they could even scream. Those behind fell into utter disarray, scattering in all directions.]

[Such was the might of a single sword strike!]

[The four great Titled Douluo turned deathly pale. They stared at the white-robed figure standing atop the ruins, their eyes filled with fear.]

["Retreat! Retreat now!!" Qian Jun Douluo shrieked. Not daring to linger, he turned and fled with Jiang Mo, Snake Lance, and Pufferfish, unable even to spare a thought for their routed troops.]

[Atop the mountain, the wind and snow continued, but Spirit Hall's army had withdrawn completely. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had held.]

[After this battle, Chen Xin's mighty name resounded throughout the Douluo Continent, immortalized for all ages!]

[When asked about it later, Chen Xin merely smiled faintly.]

["This humble swordsman once shattered an army of ten thousand with this very body!"]

At the final instant when the revelation ended.

The golden light above the heavens gathered once more.

An ancient, majestic voice thundered throughout the heavens and earth of both worlds:

[The third round of comparisons of [the Original Future's Most Glorious Moment] has concluded!]

[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect (Manga World) wins!]
