Chapter 2432

After defeating the powerful warriors, Arion vanished in a flash, disappearing without a trace.

Moments later, he reappeared above the forbidden land of Sacred Wyrm Summit. The scene below was grim—blood and corpses littered the entrance.

The members of the Pantheon, including Tyson, lay lifeless on the ground. Dustin and Lennox stood amidst the carnage, blood-soaked and exuding a murderous aura.

After a brutal battle, they successfully defended the sacred grounds, thwarting the Pantheon’s plot to destroy the dragon vein.

Suddenly, Dustin sensed something. He raised his head and peered into the foggy darkness. His sharp gaze found Arion hovering above the forbidden land.

Arion gave Dustin a faint smile, nodded, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

In the next moment, Arion crossed several mountains and arrived at the Sacred Wyrm Summit Hall. Below, the disciples of Sacred Wyrm Summit were locked in combat with the elite forces of the Pantheon.

Despite the Pantheon’s numerical advantage, the presence of Katy, the new Heavenly Master, along with Orion and other powerful allies, made it impossible for the invaders to breach the summit’s defenses.

Arion observed the battle for a few seconds before forming a hand seal.

“Buzz—!”

A massive magic array, spanning a kilometer, materialized and descended like a mountain.

The array crushed the Pantheon forces, leaving their elites sprawled on the ground, immobilized.

This single attack subdued 90% of the enemies. The remaining stragglers were swiftly overpowered by the counterattacking Sacred Wyrm Summit disciples.

Before Arion intervened, the battle was fierce and evenly matched. But his actions turned the tide instantly.

For Arion, the Pantheon’s carefully orchestrated plan was little more than a farce. Against overwhelming strength, no scheme could prevail.

After neutralizing the invaders, Arion vanished completely.

However, his actions had not gone unnoticed.

In a tavern near Sacred Wyrm Summit, three formidable figures—Alloy of the Celestial Alliance, Cyrus of the Sword Union, and Penelope of the Mystic Arts Order—gathered in quiet contemplation.

They had lingered near the summit, anticipating a spectacle.

The Pantheon’s assault was meticulously planned, involving top warriors from across the globe. The trio had expected a hard-fought battle—at the very least, a confrontation that would force Arion to reveal his full power.

But the reality far exceeded their expectations.

From start to finish, Arion treated the conflict like a game.

Even his paper-man clone wreaked havoc on the Pantheon’s forces. When Arion himself acted, it was a massacre.

The trio watched in stunned silence, their emotions conflicted. Arion’s strength was beyond anything they could have imagined.

“I didn’t believe it before, but now it’s clear. Master Arion has truly ascended to the realm described in creation theory,” Alloy finally said, breaking the silence.

The land immortal realm—a pinnacle of power revered throughout history—was a goal countless legends had pursued but rarely attained. Only five had ever reached it, their names etched in ancient records.

But Arion was different. He was real. And tonight’s battle confirmed his status.

“Land immortals… they’re beyond us mortals,” Cyrus muttered, his expression dark.

Years ago, Cyrus had challenged Arion, only to be defeated. Back then, he hadn’t fully grasped Arion’s power. Now, after witnessing it firsthand, the gap was painfully clear—like the chasm between a firefly and the moon.

Only someone of Arion’s caliber, a legendary land immortal, could crush a great master-level warrior with a mere gesture.

“Tonight’s events are a lesson—we must never become enemies of Sacred Wyrm Summit,” Penelope said, shaking her head.

She had expected a thrilling battle but instead witnessed a one-sided annihilation.

Penelope was certain the Pantheon wouldn’t dare challenge Sacred Wyrm Summit for the next century. Whether Arion would pursue the Pantheon overseas depended solely on his whims. If he chose to, their complete eradication would be inevitable.

As the night deepened, the Dragon State officials arrived with their army, only to find ruins and devastation.

The Pantheon forces lay dead or gravely wounded, and the survivors were taken captive.

Sacred Wyrm Summit, unwilling to deal with the aftermath, handed the prisoners over to the authorities.

Though the battle was a targeted attack on Sacred Wyrm Summit, the officials viewed it as an international conflict. They saw an opportunity to leverage the situation for the nation’s benefit.

This time, the Pantheon not only lost their leader but also suffered a crushing defeat that shook their foundation.
