“This is the Black Demon Devouring Heart?” Sean said solemnly, his gaze flickering with shock.
“The Black Demon Devouring Heart?” Elena’s eyes widened in shock. “Isn’t that the Laughing Monk’s signature move p>
Sean gave a small nod, staring into the swirling black mist ahead. “Legend has it that the Laughing Monk once challenged the entire Buddhist Sect. He broke through every technique they had. In the end, Western Shaolin’s abbot, Master Lucent, stepped forward and fought him using the Dragonclaw technique. Yet in the end, he was killed by the Laughing Monk using the Black Demon Devouring Heart p>
Claire and Serena’s eyes widened in disbelief. This Sect was one of Astria’s most revered institutions in the martial world, held in even higher regard than the Silvermoon Sect. It housed a vast collection of advanced martial technique manuals and countless martial arts experts. Master Lucent was among their best.
The Dragonclaw must have possessed formidable power-yet the Laughing Monk had still managed to slay him with just one strike. The horror of this technique spoke for itself.
“The Black Demon Devouring Heart is a twisted and brutal technique. It was created a century ago by Lord Nightbane. The Laughing Monk is Lord Nightbane’s final disciple, and he has mastered the technique thoroughly. His power now may well rival that of Lord Nightbane himself p>
A trace of worry crept across Sean’s face. “I’m not sure Jeff can survive this p>
Dark energy coiled between the Laughing Monk’s palms, surging upward behind him to form the phantom of a demon’s head-ferocious and grotesque.
Looking closely, even his eyes leaked black mist, giving him a truly sinister air. He bared his teeth in a bloodthirsty smile.
“Jeff, you’re impressive. Among all the martial masters I’ve faced, none have ever come close to you!
“In terms of inner strength alone, you’ve already surpassed me. Your power may even rival those who have stepped into the Transcendent Realm!
“But it’s a shame. You shouldn’t have tried to stop me!
“As long as you haven’t crossed into the Transcendent Realm, I am one hundred percent sure I can kill you p>

His voice rang with icy confidence, and the black mist roiling around him coalesced into a space entirely under his control. At that moment, the Silvermoon Sect disciples present seemed to hear the distant wails of a demon.
“Jeff, I once used the Black Demon Devouring Heart to kill Master Lucent, the abbot of Western Shaolin. When he was killed, his cultivation had already reached the Pre-Transcendent Realm. That means anyone below the Transcendent Realm cannot stand against me!
“Come on then. Let’s see if you can take it p>
With a thunderous roar, he raised his right hand. The thick black mist behind him surged forward and gathered around his hands. In an instant, his entire arm turned pitch black, with a faint image of a skull flickering on its surface.
“Let me show you the true power of the Black Demon Devouring Heart p>
He slashed out with his hands in a claw shape at an angle, and in that instant, a surge of black mist erupted from his palm, engulfing the entire plaza in darkness.
From within the fog, a massive black hand over thirty feet wide materialized like a demon’s claw. It pierced through space and came crashing down toward Leander.
The strike blanketed everything in its path. The area where Leander stood was completely consumed by shadow. Not even a single ray of sunlight could break through.
Leander lifted his gaze slightly and threw a punch at the descending black hand.
This punch, once again, came purely from the power of his physical body. It collided head-on with the massive black hand. Leander’s expression changed slightly as he was knocked backward-the impact forced him to retreat a full ten meters.
The dark energy from the giant hand clung to his fist. However, once he activated his Nirvana Energy, the black mist quickly dissolved. After he had done that, a faint trace of excitement finally appeared on his face.
In terms of cultivation required, the Black Demon Devouring Heart unleashed by the Laughing Monk was already comparable to Tsaric’s sacrificial sword strike. And in raw destructive force, it might even surpass it.
No wonder the Laughing Monk claimed he could kill anyone beneath the Transcendent Realm. At his cultivation level, wielding a technique like this truly made him unrivaled among any martial masters below the Transcendence Realm.
A deep dent formed in the center of the massive black hand-the result of Leander’s blow. Yet the black hand hadn’t shattered. Dark mist surged in from all sides, quickly restoring the damaged area.

“Jeff, it’s useless. This is a technique created by my master, Lord Nightbane, through years of painstaking effort. Its power rivals that of techniques in the Transcendent Realm. No matter how hard you try, you can’t beat me p>
“That’s why I ranked number one on the Astria Power Index back then. Do you understand now?” The Laughing Monk laughed wildly from within the darkness. At this moment, he seemed to have seized complete control of the match.
The Black Demon Devouring Heart, once used, was guaranteed to claim a life. He was determined to make Leander the second person to fall under his ultimate move, Though unleashing this technique would consume a portion of his vital energy and leave him. in a weakened state for some time, the chance to kill an unrivaled prodigy like Leander was well worth the price.
In this match, he would show the world that he still deserved to stand at the very pinnacle of Astria’s martial world.
“Oh no, Jeff can’t stop the Black Demon Devouring Heart!” Sean’s face was grim as he spoke in a low voice.
Claire bit her lip nervously, while Serena beside her had already clasped her hands in prayer.
Leander had stepped in to save them. They simply couldn’t bear the thought of watching him. die at the Laughing Monk’s hand.
Despite the others’ worries, Leander remained calm and indifferent under the looming shadow of that massive black hand.
He tilted his head slightly and looked toward the Laughing Monk, a crooked smile on
his lips. “Laughing Monk, do you really think you’ve already won this match p>
The Laughing Monk sneered, ignoring him completely. “Jeff, death is knocking at your door. Why keep up the bravado? Let me end it for you p>
He stepped forward, crossed his hands to form a jet-black sigil, then pushed it forward.
“I will devour your soul and shred your body. Black Demon Devouring Heart p>
At that moment, the massive black hand split in two. Then, they closed inward from either side like the petals of a blooming flower, locking Leander in the center with no way out.
A manic gleam flashed through the Laughing Monk’s eyes. Back then, not even
Lucent had managed to force him to unleash the most powerful form of the Black Demon Devouring Heart. The fact that Leander had done so proved his extraordinary martial talent.

But what a pity-even a talent like that still couldn’t defeat him. The one who survived
till the end was still him, and it would always be him-the Laughing Monk.
“Oh no… Even Jeff can’t defeat the Laughing Monk p>
As the two pitch-black hands slowly closed in to crush Leander, Sean sighed wistfully. Would there really be no one else who could defeat the Laughing Monk?
Claire and Serena could barely bring themselves to keep watching. They had dreamed of seeing the Invincible Emperor in person. Moments ago, they had been secretly overjoyed that their wish had come true-but now, all of that had turned into despair.
The moment the two black hands fully converged, the Silvermoon Abode plaza shattered completely into rubble. At the same time, Leander’s figure vanished within
the debris.
Dark energy swept in from all directions, and the Laughing Monk’s maniacal laughter echoed through the mountains and forests. Everyone in Silvermoon Abode felt a cold chill pierce straight to the heart.
Even the Iron Sovereign… was no match for the Laughing Monk? Serena stood dazed. On the way here, she had mocked and sneered at Leander, never once showing him a trace of kindness. Now that his true identity had been revealed, she had planned to apologize and make amends properly-but not even fate seemed willing to give her the chance.
Sean and Elena exchanged a look, both showing grim resolve. With Leander down, they had no choice but to fight with everything they had.
Just as they were preparing to attack, a golden light suddenly burst from between the black hands. Then, countless golden rays exploded in all directions, like a miniature sun erupting from within.
Upon witnessing the sudden turn of events, everyone froze in shock. Even the Laughing Monk’s smug grin stiffened on his face.
