God-Tier Fishing System-Chapter 653

The final formation could no longer withstand the assault. It shattered like fragile glass, breaking apart under the raging flames.

Max turned his head and glanced at Bella. Their eyes met for a brief instant. No words were spoken.

They both nodded.

In the next breath, their gazes sharpened at the same time.

Blood essence ignited within their bodies. Crimson light surged outward, enveloping them both in a blazing aura.

Bella swung the long sword in her hand upward with all her strength. At the same time, her right hand pushed against her husband’s back and hurled him forward.

Max borrowed the force and leapt into the air.

A spear appeared in his grasp.

He stepped onto the flat of Bella’s sword, using it as a foothold to exert power once more.

His body transformed into a streak of blood colored light, shooting toward Valerius with the resolve to die.

"You overestimate yourself."

Valerius glanced at Max with disdain as he charged forward.

In his eyes, Max was nothing more than an ordinary Ultimate Supreme, a frog staring at the moon from the bottom of a well.

How could such a person dare to challenge a Perfect Demon Lord?

"It ends here."

Valerius flicked his fingers.

A terrifying beam of flame power shot forth instantly.

Wherever it passed, space could not endure the pressure and fractured into collapsing shards.

This strike would have been difficult even for a peak Ultimate Demon Lord such as Linus to resist, let alone someone like Max.

At that moment, a sharp sound cut through the air.

A silver sword light appeared abruptly.

The sword pierced through space, cleaved the wind and snow, and from a hundred meter away split Valerius’ attack cleanly into two.

"Who?"

Valerius’ expression changed instantly. His gaze turned solemn as he looked toward the source of the attack.

"Chief Palace Master boasts of unmatched combat power and claims to be invincible in the northwest of the Demon Territory."

"Today, allow me to be your opponent."

A figure rushed from the distance and stood before Max.

Ethan held a sword in one hand. The sharp sword intent surrounding him crushed the falling rain of fire into fragments.

The sudden turn of events plunged the entire battlefield into silence.

Valerius stared in the direction of the voice.

The flames dissipated gradually. A familiar figure emerged from within the scattered firelight.

"Who are you, ant, to interfere in the affairs of my Palace of the Four Cycles in Blue Wave City?"

"Are you courting death?" Valerius asked coldly.

"Palace Master Valerius seems to forget things easily."

"It has only been half a year."

Ethan smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, the surrounding flames were suppressed instantly.

The fire and snow melted into nothingness beneath the oppressive divine power.

The air cleared.

Everyone could see clearly once more.

Valerius finally saw Ethan’s face.

His expression darkened immediately.

Anger surged within his chest.

This was the same youth who had provoked the authority of the Palace of the Four Cycles at the entrance of the Training Trial Secret Realm.

Later, he had learned his identity.

This was Ethan, the person they had searched for tirelessly and failed to find.

"Ethan."

Valerius suppressed his fury, gritting his teeth as he spoke each syllable.

Behind him, Linus and the others were briefly stunned. Then they exchanged glances.

After the collapse of the secret realm, Ethan had taken the Hibiscus Fruits and vanished.

Now, as expected, attacking the Sky family had drawn him out.

Since he had appeared, capturing him meant obtaining the Hibiscus Fruits.

With such a divine treasure, entering the Emperor realm would no longer be a distant dream.

At that time, who would fear outside forces coveting the Blood Sacrifice Reincarnation Technique?

Ethan’s appearance ignited excitement within the Palace of the Four Cycles. Many could barely restrain themselves from rushing forward.

Ember, Seris, Eryon, and Sorrel stared at Ethan with cold expressions.

They clenched their fists. Their eyes were filled with anger and killing intent.

"He finally shows himself."

"This time, I will personally avenge Mr. Kairon."

Seris spoke coldly. Powerful demonic energy erupted from his body.

During the past six months, he had cultivated in seclusion.

His strength had advanced to the peak of the Upper Demon Lord realm, only a step from the Ultimate Demon Lord.

Eryon and Sorrel were no different. Their clans had poured resources into them without restraint in preparation for the coming crisis.

As for Ember, one of the top ten geniuses of the Demon Territory, she had stepped half a foot into the Ultimate Demon Lord realm.

She had already begun to condense the prototype form of her divine power. Given another few years, she would enter the Ultimate Supreme.

For half a year, the four of them had dreamed of tearing Ethan apart.

Especially Ember.

Night after night, she imagined confronting him.

She imagined defeating him, trampling him beneath her feet, torturing him until life became worse than death.

Now fate had brought him before her.

Today, she would give everything to keep him here.

"Ethan, you hid like a rat for half a year."

"At last you appear."

"I have been waiting for you."

"This time, my Palace of the Four Cycles will ensure you never return."

Ember gripped a golden sword. Fierce and sharp demonic energy burst forth from her body.

Her long hair fluttered wildly. Rage surged within her eyes.

"It is Miss Ember."

"It seems the battle in the Training Trial Secret Realm did not teach you the gap between us."

"Very well. Since I am here today, there is no need for you to continue living."

Ethan’s voice was calm yet arrogant. A contemptuous smile lingered on his lips.

It was as if he did not take anyone in the Palace of the Four Cycles seriously, including Valerius.

Linus burst into laughter.

"Ethan, you amuse me."

"In thousands of years of cultivation, this is the first time I have seen such an arrogant and ignorant human junior."

"Many have been fearless, but in the end they all became my meal."

"Today I will see how a mere human body cultivator dares to rescue the Sky family and trample upon the dignity of my Palace of the Four Cycles."

Linus sneered coldly.

Ethan’s expression, his tone, and his gaze were deeply irritating.

Soon, Linus would use his fist to shatter every tooth in Ethan’s mouth.
