“The legend of Jeff Ashcroft… has come to an end p>

In just over a year, Leander had accomplished countless feats that had shaken the entire martial world to its core.
He defeated two masters in the Pre–Transcendent Realm at Glidewing Mountain, slaughtered the Laughing Monk of West Ridge in the battle against the Silvermoon Sect, and single- handedly annihilated seven Arbitrators in a seven–against–one battle at the Waterfront Plaza in West Listin. He even brought the Umbral Court to their knees in Ravenridge, forcing the Lord of Umbral himself to come forward and apologize in person.
Each of these accomplishments alone was impossible for most people to achieve in their lifetime. But he had effortlessly amassed these heroic feats under his belt, earning him the indisputable title of the Blazing Comet of Astria.
His emergence had reignited the martial world of Astria, which had been stagnant and lifeless for many years. He had catapulted the martial world back into an era of chaos and turbulence. There was no denying that he was a true powerhouse who shaped the very era around him.
Unfortunately, his legend was now coming to an end…
The Crimson Wingstorm had bathed in the blood of countless enemies.
When Douglas first unleashed the technique forty years ago, he had claimed the lives of countless martial artists in Astria. Now that he was wielding the technique as a master in the Transcendent Realm, its destructive power had only grown more terrifying.
Although Leander managed to withstand Tsaric’s sacrificial sword strike at Hawksridge Summit, he was now facing a genuine master in the Transcendent Realm! Who could possibly bear the full force of such a master’s ultimate killing technique directly, with just their body?
At this moment, there were sixteen feathers lodged deeply in his back. They had clearly pierced through his skin, which meant… he had failed to block the attack.
The outcome of the battle was already decided.
The members of the Southern Wyvern Blade wailed in silent anguish, unwilling to accept the death of their leader. They had been training under Leander for the past month. Combined with the Devourer’s Flow, their cultivation had improved rapidly during this period.
In their hearts, he wasn’t just an instructor–he was a true mentor, deeply respected and cherished. Witnessing him fall right before their very eyes… It felt as though their hearts were

Meanwhile, Leander stood frozen in place above the river. Even after the storm gradually settled down, his gaze stared forward blankly as though he himself couldn’t believe that he had lost.
Drip…
A single drop of blood fell into the river, originating from the wounds on his back.
Douglas silently observed everything, a calm understanding flashing through his eyes.
“You’ve lost, Jeff Ashcroft p>
Standing there with his hands clasped behind his back, he was in no hurry to take Leander’s life.
“To tell you the truth, out of all the opponents I’ve faced in my life, you’re the only one who’s ever forced me to activate the second stage of the Crimson Wingstorm.
“That alone is something you should take pride in p>
He took a step forward and curled his fingers into a claw. His hand shot forward, innate vitality pulsing around the tips of his fingers as he lunged straight for Leander’s throat.
“Dying by my hand… is no dishonor to the Iron Sovereign’s name p>
At this moment, Leander had been struck by the sixteen feathers. Though these feathers had not torn him apart in midair, the deadly poison within them had already seeped deep into his
organs.
His overwhelmingly powerful cultivation might prevent the toxins from killing him immediately, but his cultivation would still plummet drastically. Even at the least, he would be severely weakened. He was nothing more than a lamb waiting for slaughter at this moment.
Douglas was prepared to finish Leander in one decisive move,
“It seems that after today, the Tarlyn Guild shall reign over the world p>
Triston’s face brightened with excitement at those words. His heart raced with exhilaration.
Just as Douglas was about to close around Leander’s throat with his hand, a pale and slender hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
“Huh p>
He froze in surprise. Though he attempted to break free, the hand around his wrist was as

immovable as a mountain. It was completely unshakable. He could not shake off the iron grip, no matter how much innate vitality he circulated through his arm.
Shock filled his expression.
Leander should’ve been poisoned! How can he still possess such terrifying strength p>
“Old man… you’ve got some skill, I’ll give you that p>
Leander finally raised his head. A fierce light flashed through his eyes, making him resemble a wild beast that was ready to devour its prey.
“You’re the first person ever to make me bleed since I stepped into the martial world p>
Douglas was instantly rattled by the intensity of Leander’s gaze. A surge of unprecedented dread bloomed in his heart. Still reeling from disbelief, he suddenly heard a low roar coming from Leander.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A tremendous force erupted from Leander’s body, rippling outward in all directions. The sixteen feathers embedded in his back were forcibly shaken loose and flung into the river below.
Trapped in Leander’s grip, Douglas was unable to pull away. He could only channel his innate vitality to defend himself from the impact. But the force exploding from Leander’s body crashed down on him like an unstoppable tidal wave.
Even though he resisted with everything he had, he couldn’t help being shaken by the force. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
“Impossible p>
Though injured by the impact, he couldn’t spare any thought for his wounds. His mind had gone blank with disbelief.
He clearly took a direct hit from the second stage of the Crimson Wingstorm. His body should’ve been riddled with deadly poison … so how can he unleash such terrifying power?
And … his strength is even more refined and oppressive than my own innate vitality!
“Old man,” Leander said coldly, his expression cold. “I’ll admit… the Crimson Wingstorm is impressive indeed.
“But too bad for you… They’ve done nothing more than scratch my skin p>
“That’s impossible!” Douglas roared, his pupils shrinking violently in disbelief. “Why?! My

feathers clearly struck you! Why do you show no signs of poisoning?! How are you unharmed p>
“Do you really think you can comprehend the depth of my abilities?” Leander swept his gaze over Douglas. His eyes were calm and cold, completely devoid of emotion.
“But you are the first to make me bleed.” The corners of his mouth curled into a devilish smirk. “And… I’ve taken a liking to your cultivation p>
At that instant, Douglas was filled with a sudden dread. Alarm bells blaring in his head, he gathered his strength and desperately slammed his palm toward Leander’s chest in an attempt to break free.
Leander’s other hand unexpectedly shot forward and pressed against his palm.
When their palms touched, there was nothing–no visible clash of force, no explosive shockwave… It was eerily calm, like the surface of a still lake.
But his eyes immediately widened in horror.
He could feel it-
A fierce and unstoppable suction, coming from Leander’s palm. The powerful pulling force locked his hand in place, preventing him from breaking contact. And then… the same sucking force flowed upward through his arm, drawing out his innate vitality like a siphon.
The innate vitality that he had been painstakingly accumulating for nearly a century was violently drained away in the blink of an eye. Wave after wave, each stronger than the last… His innate vitality gushed out of his body–only to be swiftly absorbed into Leander’s body.
“You b*stard!” Douglas roared in fury.
Although he desperately tried to stop the outflow of his innate vitality, his power was no longer under his control. His innate vitality seeped out of his body at an even faster rate, flowing directly into Leander’s body.
In just under a minute, he had lost nearly thirty percent of his cultivation. It was a devastating loss–most of his strength was gone.
“Jeff Ashcroft! What kind of demonic art is this?!” He shouted in rage and fear, his voice trembling as he demanded an answer.
Leander’s gaze remained cold and emotionless.
“It’s a technique of my own creation–the Devourer’s Ninefold Path.
“As the name suggests… it devours everything. I can absorb anything and make the power

His voice was icy as he continued, “I didn’t want to defeat you in such a cruel manner, but… You really pissed me off.
“So, I’ll be taking your cultivation p>
Despite facing Leander’s strikingly handsome face, Douglas felt as though he were staring into the eyes of a demon that had crawled out of hell. He couldn’t suppress his fear, not even with a century of practicing unshakable will and martial discipline–his very soul trembled in terror.
