From Outcast to Overlord The Unyielding Heir (Leander Ashcroft) novel Chapter 402

The elemental energy of heaven and earth surged violently, freezing the void within several hundred feet, sealing it completely.

A massive Celestial Tai Chi Diagram engulfed Leander entirely.

"The might of an Infernal Crown Transcendent is truly terrifying!"

Gareth's eyes widened sharply, then a shadow of worry crossed his face.

At this moment, the one facing an Infernal Crown Transcendent was his own son.

Though Leander had tried to distance himself from the Ashcroft family, he was still, after all, a member of it.

Gareth and Reginald had long agreed that the future of the Ashcroft family would rest entirely in Leander's hands.

But now, the overwhelming might of an Infernal Crown Transcendent seemed capable of turning all those hopes into nothing but crushed dreams.

A mere gesture could seal space itself.

Who could withstand such power if they weren't an Infernal Crown Transcendent themselves?

Galen's single hand clenched lightly, his gaze sharp, his brows carrying a streak of icy indifference.

"Jeff, you may be powerful and unmatched, but you're not an Infernal Crown yourself. In the presence of an Infernal Crown Transcendent, you're no different from an ant! Face it—you can never beat me!

"Now, it's time to settle the score. You will answer for Homer's life!" uttered Galen icily.

Everyone below could feel a pure, chilling killing intent emanating from him.

This killing intent carried no hatred nor anger, for its sole purpose was to take Leander's life.

It sounded as simple and natural as opening a can of soda.

The instant he finished speaking, he clenched his fists.

Whoosh!

A whirlwind of elemental energy swept across heaven and earth.

The massive Tai Chi Diagram spun violently, forming two extremes, black and white, then constricting inward.

This move resembled the Infinite Silken Trap once wielded by Grayson, but the difference in power was astronomical.

Grayson had expended all his internal force to form the net atop Hawksridge Summit.

Galen, by contrast, formed it effortlessly with a casual motion. There was simply no comparison.

The Tai Chi Diagram constricted rapidly.

Countless strands of elemental energy compressed the space within, threatening to explode at any moment.

Leander, trapped inside, would naturally be caught in a chaotic surge of destructive forces.

"Ander!"

Daphne clenched her pale hands tightly, unable to contain her alarmed cries.

She wanted to intervene, but her cultivation was too weak, and Galen hovered high above.

She was powerless, forced to watch as the Tai Chi Diagram shrank smaller and smaller.

Just as the Tai Chi Diagram contracted to a few dozen feet across, a low shout erupted from within. Blue light burst forth, like something breaking free from a cocoon.

Bang!

The sound of a massive explosion shook the place, and blue light blossomed across the void, illuminating the night.

The Tai Chi Diagram, formed from the essence of heaven and earth, was utterly shattered from within outward by a force unlike anything before.

"What?"

Galen's eyes narrowed, shock etched across his features.

The blue light gradually faded, revealing Leander standing proudly and unscathed.

"Did you just break through my Celestial Tai Chi Diagram?"

His expression shifted again, disbelief flooding him.

Ever since assuming the position of Wanda Sect's grandmaster decades ago, he had never descended into the mortal world.

He spent all his time on the highest peaks of Wanda's seventy-two summits, cultivating martial insight and attuning to heaven and earth, pursuing ultimate power.

Five years ago, he finally broke through Infernal Crown Transcendent, becoming one of the strongest in the Transcendent Realm.

From the moment he ascended, he could feel the transformation.

It was an all-encompassing evolution, like a silkworm emerging from its cocoon as a butterfly—a transcendence beyond description.

At this stage, he could suppress anything casually.

Yet, not only did Leander survive the Tai Chi Diagram formed from his own energy, he'd even shattered it completely, leaving Galen utterly stunned.

A Transcendent under twenty years old was already enough to shake the world, but an Infernal Crown Transcendent under twenty?

Boom!

The explosion echoed with a bang. Blue light shimmered, scattering tiny ripples along its tail.

"Argh!"

Bang!
