Andrew kept pressing forward, forcing Wyatt into a defensive stance. His attacks were broad and devastating, each strike carrying crushing force. Wyatt, by contrast, stood firm and immovable, absorbing the onslaught with iron discipline. Only when he could no longer hold the line did he throw his head back and roar, finally unleashing one of his long-concealed signature techniques.

He struck with the Cunningham family’s Dragon Palm.

In an instant, he shifted from defense to offense, driving Andrew backward. Their fists collided head-on once more. Andrew let out a muffled grunt and slid across the ground. Wyatt also cried out, staggering back more than a dozen steps.

They stopped over a hundred yards apart, facing each other in silence.

Andrew’s expression was glacial. Without a word, his aura began to rise again.

Wyatt kept his lips tightly pressed together. Veins bulged at his temples, and sweat streamed down his face and neck, pooling at his feet. The onlookers below held their breath, afraid even to inhale too loudly.

So far, neither man had won.

But from the look of it, both had already pushed themselves to the limit.

Would this end in mutual destruction?

Otto was shaken to his core. No one understood Wyatt’s strength better than he did. And yet Andrew had endured every violent assault until now. With power like this, if Wyatt hadn’t existed, the Cunningham family could have been wiped out ten times over.

At last, Otto understood Conrad’s fear.

Conrad hadn’t been weak. He had simply recognized a force he couldn’t resist. He chose death to protect the Cunningham family because he knew resistance was meaningless.

Andrew had been back in Chetvine for days, and Guillermo’s faction hadn’t dared make a single move. That silence said everything.

Andrew was no longer someone anyone could afford to provoke.

He stepped forward slowly, settling into his stance. Black and red energy began to coil around his bare hands.

“Wyatt,” Andrew said evenly, “you’ve been cultivating in seclusion for thirty years. Your foundation is deep—I’ll give you that. But today, you’re still not my match.”

His voice was calm, almost indifferent.

“You’ve reached your limit, haven’t you? I’m in my prime. Strong. Unstoppable.”

He took another step.

“Forget defeating you. If this drags on, you’ll burn yourself out. At worst, I’ll walk away seriously injured. But you? You’ll die.”

His gaze sharpened.

“If we let this feud continue another thirty years, I could wipe you and the Cunningham family out again and again. And thirty years from now, I’ll only be stronger. I’ll break into a higher realm—truly unstoppable.”

The black-red aura behind him surged upward, tearing toward the sky. Dark clouds gathered above the Cunningham estate, and the air itself seemed to tremble.

“This,” Andrew said coldly, “is the gap between us. What exactly do you have left to fight me with?”

With that, he released a thunderous roar. The energy behind him exploded skyward, staining the clouds in ominous hues.

Wyatt looked up, his expression shifting dramatically. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in a single heartbeat.

In the end, he clenched his teeth.

For the Cunningham family’s dignity, he would not retreat—not even now. And he wasn’t finished yet.

With a hoarse roar, Wyatt spat out a mouthful of blood from deep within his chest. At the same time, his aura surged violently upward. Dense, overwhelming energy gathered above his head, condensing into the faint outline of a ferocious dragon.

Its fangs were bared. Its claws stretched wide.

Though silent, it seemed to roar at Andrew in challenge.

Philip’s expression darkened.

“They’ve both reached the threshold of breaking into Beyond Mortal,” he murmured. “The Cunningham family has been hiding far more than anyone realized. But Andrew… his rise is on another level entirely.”

He paused, eyes fixed on the sky.

“Could his lifetime achievements surpass Reginald’s?”

If that happened—

“Then the Lloyd royal family will stand alone at the very top of Holtrien. No one else will even come close.”
