Snow was falling from the sky, and the setting sun cast a blood-red glow over the Red Dragon Mountains.
The area around the Red Dragon's jaw was ravaged and in ruins under the setting sun.
The ground shattered into countless pieces, and the rock walls were covered with crisscrossing slash marks and charred burn marks.
In some places, entire rock walls collapsed, scattering rubble everywhere.
This shows just how intense the battle that took place here was...
A handsome young man, not very old, with a small tuft of white hair on his forehead that was particularly noticeable, was kneeling on one knee.
The Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword, one of the Seven Swords of the Sword God, was stuck in the ground, its blade trembling slightly.
He was covered in blood, with blood gushing from the wound on his left shoulder. His left arm had been cleanly severed below the elbow, and the severed limb lay in the snow a few steps away.
And the man opposite...
Anyone who witnessed this scene would instinctively assume that a long and fierce battle had taken place.
In reality, this battle between the two sides... has only lasted less than three minutes so far.
To be precise, it was only two and a half minutes.
Compared to the boy's disheveled appearance, the silver-haired man opposite him only had slightly dirty clothes and a few scratches all over his body.
And he is the strongest man in the world, the Dragon God Orsted, the second strongest of the Seven Great Powers.
The Dragon God merely watched the boy from afar, his long silver hair fluttering gently in the wind and snow, his Dragon Saint Battle Aura remaining calm and composed.
"Now?"
Orsted spoke, his tone flat.
"You? Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Cough cough--"
Luo Ge coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to lift his head.
He was careless and didn't dodge... The Dragon God doesn't practice martial ethics and has hidden his true strength.
At first, Luo Ge had the upper hand and was dominating the Dragon God Orsted, but for some reason...
As the battle raged on... the Dragon God suddenly grew stronger, giving the impression that there was no end in sight.
Let Luo Ge clearly realize...
This guy is not only a master of manipulation, but also a master of numerical calculations.
He exerted all his strength and exhausted all his knowledge.
And then what happened?
That would only result in the other person's clothes getting slightly dirty.
hateful!
Is this the Dragon God's true power?
I thought those three Rock Bullet were just the beginning, but it turned out to be the final highlight.
Two and a half minutes!
No matter what moves he used, the Dragon God could easily counter them and, after quickly adapting, would overtake him.
It felt like no matter what move he made, his opponent could see through it immediately and come up with the optimal solution, as if they knew all his cards in advance.
This moment.
Luo Ge finally came to his senses and realized the true gap between himself and the world's strongest man.
" Rog Greyrat..."
"If this is your limit, then you've really disappointed me."
"Heh, even I couldn't satisfy the Dragon God? Oh well, I was just too naive before... how ridiculous."
The Dragon God glanced coldly at Luo Ge, then said indifferently, "Now... show me your true strength."
Luo Ge didn't speak, he just took a deep breath.
Then... as if sensing something, he stretched out his only remaining right hand and caught a snowflake falling from the sky.
A snowflake landed in my palm and instantly melted into a drop of water.
"Is it... starting to snow again?"
"The snow is so beautiful. If I die, I'll never see it again. I can't die, and I will never give up."
Possessing God-Rank Healing Magic, Luo Ge's injuries were quickly healed, which was also the reason for Luo Ge previous confidence.
As long as he isn't instantly killed by the Dragon God, he can continuously recover from his injuries using his God-Rank Healing Magic.
With a whoosh, as the soft light enveloped the severed part of his left arm, flesh and bone regrowth occurred at a visible speed.
In just a few breaths, a brand new arm reappeared on the shoulder.
He moved his fingers around to confirm that they were working properly.
Then, Luo Ge slowly stood up, pulled the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword back from the ground, and looked at the Dragon God, "You're right... How could I possibly defeat you, Dragon God, without showing some real skill?"
"Since that's the case, then..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Ge's expression completely changed.
There was a hint of probing in those eyes before, but that probing was over now.
He was going all in.
His gaze became deep and sharp, like a knife, a knife about to be drawn, as if it could annihilate gods and demons.
Similarly, he exuded an extremely strong sense of oppression, making even the slightest breeze rustle and whisper.
Unlike the domineering and outward-facing pressure of Dragon Saint Battle Aura, the pressure emanating from Luo Ge is more restrained and calmer.
It's like a bottomless pool of water, calm on the surface but turbulent beneath.
He originally intended to use this innate talent as a trump card.
He only used it as a last resort; it was his trump card against the Dragon God.
But now we can't do without it.
Under normal circumstances, Luo Ge realized that the gap between him and the Dragon God was simply too great.
This gap isn't solely due to skill; it also involves technique.
Luo Ge felt as if the Dragon God was omniscient and omnipotent; attacks couldn't hit him at all unless he overwhelmed him with sheer numbers, but the opponent's numbers were equally terrifying.
so.
"... Transparent World, open."
After Luo Ge activated the Transparent World, the world he saw changed completely.
Everything around me became clearer than ever before.
The direction of the wind and snow, the distribution of magic in the air, every crack on the ice underfoot, and the sharp edges of every pebble on the distant rock face—all were clearly visible.
This naturally includes the Dragon God himself.
Orsted's body became a transparent image in his eyes.
The direction of muscles, the structure of bones, the path of Touki flowing through the meridians, and even the rhythm of the heartbeat.
Luo Ge grasped all the information in an instant.
Was the Transparent World before?
It's normal for the Dragon God to win against him.
Now he has opened up Transparent World.
Um?
What should we call the Dragon God? It's not hard to guess, is it?!
After opening the Transparent World, Luo Ge didn't hesitate for long... he acted immediately.
This time the speed is completely different from before.
There were no fancy opening moves, no unnecessary bursts of magic power; it was simply pushing the body's instincts to their limits.
The moment the ice beneath his feet shattered, he appeared before the Dragon God.
Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword high, then slashed down with it.
With an unstoppable offensive!
Orsted raised his hand to block, but Luo Ge's sword suddenly changed direction halfway through, from a diagonal slash to a horizontal one, avoiding the Dragon God's hand blade and aiming straight for his ribs.
The Dragon God reacted quickly, immediately trying to defend, but Luo Ge followed up with an even faster left fist that slammed out from below. There was no magic attached to the fist; it was purely a physical strike wrapped in Touki.
After being punched, Orsted finally began to show signs of injury in his chest...
The Dragon God's expression grew increasingly serious... He could sense that the power of the opponent's punch was significantly greater than before.
Moreover, the point of attack was precisely where his Touki was relatively weak.
Luo Ge didn't give the Dragon God time to think.
They attacked with alternating strikes using sword and fist.
The offensive was like a relentless storm... Each attack struck precisely at the gaps in the Dragon God's defense, and each change of move was timed perfectly to coincide with the moment the opponent's center of gravity shifted.
His movements were as fluid as a stream of water without any breaks or hesitation.
After blocking more than a dozen attacks, Orsted finally took a step back for the first time.
This made Luo Ge's lips curl into a smile, full of pride... Just as expected, although there was a huge gap in strength between him and the Dragon God, he was not without the power to fight back.
" Dragon God, I'm sorry, the offensive and defensive positions have completely reversed."
Luo Ge trembled all over, as if his blood was boiling and burning. "I'm... incredibly strong now!!!"
"I see."
A complex emotion flickered in his golden eyes as he murmured to himself, "Is this your innate talent? I must say, it's truly remarkable... truly extraordinary."
"But unfortunately..."
"You were such a beautiful woman, why did you become a thief?"
