Chapter 729 Breaking the Barrier, Entering the Origin Realm

Rip!

With a sharp tear, the remaining scraps of clothing on Leander’s upper body were shredded apart as his aura surged, revealing his perfectly sculpted physique.

As Homer’s sword came slashing down, Leander neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, he stepped forward-charging straight into the blade.

“Origin Sword!”

The sword technique he had comprehended after stepping into the Origin Realm erupted once more-the same strike he had once used to destroy fifteen supersonic fighter jets.

A flash of sword light burst from within his spirit core, releasing a surge of spiritual power. Though Homer stood dozens of meters away, his mind suddenly wavered, as if he had momentarily fallen out of sync with the world itself.

By the time he snapped back to his senses, the sword light was already upon him. He hurriedly waved both hands, gathering the essence of heaven and earth into a shield to block the strike.

Leander’s counterattack, launched after but arriving first, forced Homer to divert his attention. The power of his earlier descending slash was weakened as a result.

Seizing the moment, Leander’s physical strength exploded. His left hand shot forward like a steel claw, gripping the edge of the sword light directly.

“Break!”

His fingers clenched, power surging through them–and the massive sword light shattered instantly under his grasp.

Leander’s figure blurred as he stepped forward and shot into the sky. Blue Primordial Energy surged wildly from his body, forming a streak of light as he charged toward Homer.

“Divine Hand!”

Homer’s expression didn’t change. After blocking the Origin Sword, he simply pushed out with one hand.

The Divine Hand-a supreme technique once taught by the King of Red Sun from the Solara Palace in Tiberran-was already earth-shaking in its own right. But now, having stepped into the Imperial Phase, Homer’s execution of it had reached a level beyond technique itself, far

surpassing even its original master.

“Devourer’s Ninefold Path-Soul Shatter Claw!”

Leander descended, sweeping out with a claw strike.

The claw’s force cut across the Divine Hand, slicing it into four segments before both attacks dissipated into nothingness.

Leander dropped further, carrying the force of a falling mountain as he brought his foot down toward Homer’s head. With his Devourer Form fully unleashed, this single stomp could have crushed an entire villa into dust.

Homer didn’t move. He simply raised a finger.

At once, the sea churned violently, forming more than a dozen water tornadoes.

The tornadoes merged into one, forming a massive whip of water that lashed against the sole of Leander’s foot.

Leander’s body trembled as the impact forced him upward into the sky-but at the same time, the water vortex was crushed beneath his stomp.

High above, Leander launched attack after attack with relentless force. Meanwhile, Homer remained like a meditating monk, unmoved, responding to every strike with effortless ease. No matter how many killing moves Leander unleashed, Homer calmly neutralized them all, using the boundless essence of heaven and earth to block every attack.

Yet despite failing again and again, Leander showed no sign of discouragement. Each time he was pushed back, he charged forward once more-his punches and kicks growing faster and more relentless.

The High Ebon, a nine-star King Phase expert who could nearly control Taybourne’s entire political landscape, watched the battle unfold in the sky with a trembling heart.

“To resist the power of heaven and earth with human strength alone… If not for facing Homer, Ashcroft would truly have no equal in this world!”

He sighed with emotion. But admiration aside, Homer’s power had already surpassed anything he could comprehend. No matter how strong Leander was, there was no way he could break through the terrifying defense formed by the essence of heaven and earth.

This was the might of the Imperial Phase-beyond what human strength could defy.

“Jeff Ashcroft, your defeat is already certain.” He shook his head lightly.

Although Leander was still gritting his teeth and holding on, this kind of reckless clash-using his own Primordial Energy to oppose the power of heaven and earth-couldn’t last long. Whether it was an hour, two hours, or even a few days, once his strength was exhausted and his energy dried

dried up, he would be completely at Homer’s mercy.

“Hmph!”

Seeing Leander charge at him again and again in a frenzy of attacks, Homer felt his status as an Imperial Phase existence being challenged.

As Leander surged forward once more, Homer waved his hand. A massive azure palm descended from the side, slamming into Leander’s right shoulder.

Boom!

Leander was sent crashing downward, smashing into the sea and skidding across the surface for dozens of meters. But Homer didn’t stop. In a flash, he crossed space again, his finger already pressing against Leander’s chest.

“Finger Shot.”

Homer spoke lightly. A terrifying force erupted from his fingertip, snapping forward like a stretched rubber band recoiling. In an instant, Leander was blasted away from the sea, hurled toward the distance.

Leander spat out a mouthful of blood, his feet pounding against the surface of the water as he tried to steady himself. Each step left behind a massive footprint. He was driven all the way to the edge of the dock before finally stopping, a clear finger mark imprinted on his left chest.

“Now this is a fight!”

Despite being knocked back again and again, the fire in his eyes never dimmed. His battle intent remained fierce, his strength still pushed to its peak.

He was just about to charge back into the fray when a piercing cry rang out from behind him.

“Blockhead, stop fighting!”

It was a woman’s voice.

Leander froze in response. He slowly turned around and saw Maeve standing on a cruise ship alongside Richard and the others. Beside her was Rachel, her eyes brimming with tears.

Maeve’s body trembled, two streaks of tears running down her beautiful face as she cried out again and again.

“If you keep fighting, you’ll die! I don’t want you to die-if you die, how am I supposed to go

on?”

Her voice was raw with grief, filled with desperate pleading, as if she had exhausted every ounce of strength she had.

Leander’s gaze tightened, and for the first time, he completely stopped moving. He stood there in silence as memories of everything since arriving in Highcrest flashed through his mind.

He had come here in search of peace-of an ordinary life. He wanted to experience normalcy, to find the opportunity to break through to the Origin Breaking Realm and reach a new level.

But after more than a month, not only had his cultivation not improved-it had even begun to regress.

Looking at Maeve’s tear-streaked face and Rachel’s near-desperate expression, something suddenly clicked within him. Scenes of the two of them approaching him again and again- only for him to coldly reject them-flashed through his mind.

Have I… been walking the wrong path all along?

A self-mocking smile tugged at his lips.

I came to Highcrest to cut myself off from family and friends, to live as an ordinary person for the sake of breaking into the Origin Breaking Realm. When Rachel drew close, I rejected her. When Maeve appeared, I continued to hide who I was. Everything I’ve done… it was all deliberate, all forced. None of it came naturally, none of it followed my heart.

He shook his head lightly.

How ridiculous… The so-called “breaking” in Origin Breaking Realm means shattering barriers, breaking free from restraints. Yet in my pursuit of that breakthrough, I’ve only bound myself with more and more chains, suppressing my true nature. If that’s the case… how could I ever reach the Origin Breaking Realm?

The more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed. And right there, before everyone’s eyes, he slowly closed his eyes.

In the distance, Homer’s gaze swept over and landed on the group aboard the ship behind Leander. When he saw Richard and the others, understanding dawned.

“The Woods, huh? It seems your ties to Ashcroft run quite deep. Since I’m killing him today, I might as well wipe all of you out along with him. In Highcrest, no family can challenge the

might of the Gessinger family!”

His voice was indifferent, his eyes filled with disdain for all living things as he slowly raised both hands toward the sky.
