At the instant Liu Yuan's voice fell—
Mega Rayquaza descended.
"BOOM—!!!"
A terrifying pressure slammed down upon the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest!
The sky dimmed.
Not because of clouds—
But because a higher-dimensional existence had descended, forcibly distorting light and space itself!
A massive, awe-inspiring emerald dragon coiled across the heavens.
Its body shimmered like the purest jade, flowing with divine radiance. Golden patterns traced across its form, outlining profound and ancient Laws.
Two long golden streamers extended from its jaw, swaying without wind—each movement slicing faint distortions into space.
Mega Rayquaza.
The ruler of the skies.
The apex of existence.
A god that stood above all living beings.
---
It did nothing.
And yet—
That alone was enough.
A crushing suppression descended directly upon the Souls of the four Wind Hunting Demon Apes below.
"W-woo…"
The ferocious beasts that had dominated moments ago now whimpered like frightened animals.
Their bodies froze.
Their killing intent shattered.
Before this existence, their strength meant nothing.
Their pride meant nothing.
They were no more than dust.
This was instinct.
The most primal fear—
A lower life form facing something that stood above its very existence.
The forest fell silent.
No wind.
No birds.
No sound.
---
Liu Yuan raised his hand calmly.
"Mega Rayquaza. Extreme Speed."
"ROAR—!!!"
The dragon's roar shook the heavens—not a cry, but a decree.
In the next instant—
It vanished.
---
When it reappeared—
It was already behind the eighty-thousand-year Wind Hunting Demon Ape.
No explosion.
No shockwave.
Just—
A casual sweep of its tail.
"Puchi."
A soft sound.
The ape froze.
Its eyes dimmed.
A thin red line appeared from its forehead… running down its entire body.
Then—
It split cleanly in half.
Falling silently to the ground.
Instant kill.
Absolute.
Effortless.
---
That single strike shattered reality.
The remaining three apes snapped out of their fear—
But only because death had arrived.
"ROAR—!!!"
Fury replaced terror.
The ninety-thousand-year leader roared to the sky!
Together with the other two—
They unleashed everything.
Three massive green beams erupted, carrying their full cultivation, tearing through the air from three directions toward Mega Rayquaza!
---
Liu Yuan didn't even blink.
"Dragon Dance. Dodge."
Mega Rayquaza moved.
Its body flowed in a divine rhythm, golden light surging.
Its speed and power rose again—
And the three devastating beams…
Missed.
They only brushed past its form, tearing into the distant sky.
---
"Extreme Speed."
Two words.
Two deaths.
---
"Shu—!"
"Shu—!"
Space fractured twice.
Mega Rayquaza became two streaks of cyan lightning, flashing across the battlefield.
The two seventy-thousand-year apes froze—
Then split apart instantly.
Blood painted the forest.
---
Three down.
In seconds.
---
The last one—
The ninety-thousand-year leader—
Broke.
Its entire being trembled.
It had witnessed the impossible.
Its companions—
Erased.
Without resistance.
Without meaning.
Its fury vanished.
Its will collapsed.
Only one thought remained—
Run.
---
It turned and fled at full speed, vanishing into the forest like a desperate shadow.
But Liu Yuan's voice followed calmly:
"Extreme Speed again."
---
Mega Rayquaza disappeared.
Then—
Reappeared directly in front of the fleeing ape.
Blocking its path.
Like an immovable god.
---
The ape froze.
Its massive body trembled violently.
In those golden dragon eyes—
It saw the end.
---
No mercy.
No hesitation.
The dragon tail swept once more.
---
Silence.
---
The forest returned to stillness.
Four corpses lay on the ground—
Cleanly split.
As if reality itself had been cut apart.
---
Liu Yuan looked down calmly.
Satisfied.
With a thought, he recalled Mega Rayquaza.
The sky brightened.
The pressure vanished.
The world resumed as if nothing had happened.
As if the divine slaughter moments ago had only been an illusion.
---
But Liu Yuan knew—
That power was real.
And it was his.
---
At that moment, the familiar cold voice sounded in his mind:
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host. You have successfully hunted a 50,000-year Wind Hunting Demon Ape.]
[Task settlement in progress…]
[Reward obtained: God-bestowed Spirit Ring ×1]

---
Liu Yuan's eyes flashed.
The real reward—
Had finally arrived.
