# Chapter 3320: Showdown with Klysa
Klysa stood tall and handsome, his black wings spread open behind him, exuding confidence from every pore.
There was no arrogance in his demeanor, but rather an extreme calm.
He said, "It seems you've learned some things. There's no other choice now—today, I must kill you."
Klysa seemed to have encountered something as well, becoming very different from before.
Even in terms of aura alone, the difference was like heaven and earth.
But there was none of that overwhelming sense of terror he had displayed when locking eyes with Mela earlier. For this reason, Zhang Ruochen did not immediately flee, instead standing his ground against him, wanting to understand more of what puzzled him.
Zhang Ruochen said, "You must be some great figure from Paradise Realm's ancient past, long since deceased? Before we make our move, you might as well tell me your name."
"Bexi!"
Before the words had even faded, Klysa had already crossed the void at an inconceivable speed, appearing before Zhang Ruochen.
Such speed was now barely inferior to Xuanyi's.
But the previous Klysa had never been this fast.
Without a doubt, the other party had employed some speed divine ability that Klysa had never mastered, elevating his speed to an even higher level beyond its limits.
The name "Bexi" indeed shook Zhang Ruochen for a moment.
That was precisely the other party's intention.
He deliberately used the name to startle Zhang Ruochen for that split second. That split second could decide victory or defeat, even life and death.
Otherwise, there was no need for him to reveal his name to a dead man.
At the same time, it showed how highly he regarded Zhang Ruochen as an opponent. In terms of mindset alone, he was several levels above the arrogant Xiuchen Heavenly God of the past.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen was prepared, throwing a punch like lightning.
With the clash of their strikes, space trembled.
Both retreated rapidly, putting a thousand miles between them.
Klysa seemed as if he had never moved at all, staring at Zhang Ruochen, and said, "Immovable Wisdom King Fist! Truly impressive—are you the strongest below the Infinite Realm in this era?"
The storm from their collision still raged in the surrounding space.
Zhang Ruochen was not modest, saying, "I suppose that's about right."
In terms of physical strength, Zhang Ruochen was now slightly stronger than Xuanyi and Chi Xingtian, who were at sixty percent of the Infinite Realm. In other areas—divine soul, speed, esoterica, spiritual power—Zhang Ruochen was not lacking either.
Most importantly, he had only just condensed the Great Yin, and there was still much room for improvement.
"What a pity. You've only cultivated the Immovable Wisdom King Fist to the seventeenth layer of fist intent. If you had comprehended the eighteenth layer, that punch just now might have wounded me. The number of rule divine patterns and the density of divine qi are also still lacking compared to Klysa," Klysa said.
Xiuchen Heavenly God rushed out from the Sundial, solidifying his form, and said, "Bexi, Zhang Ruochen has only been in the world for two thousand years, yet he has already achieved what he has today. If he had time to settle and make up for his shortcomings, one punch would have killed you!"
"Xiuchen, is he your disciple? Did you end up becoming the Zhang Clan's protector?" Klysa said.
Xiuchen Heavenly God's face darkened, and he said, "You've possessed your own successor's body—didn't you also take his memories?"
"I haven't had time to digest them yet."
Klysa was very frank, then turned his gaze to Zhang Ruochen, filled with curiosity.
Having only been in the world for two thousand years—such an achievement was hard for him to believe.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Xitian, do you still think you can kill us now?"
"Xitian died three hundred thousand years ago. Don't call me that anymore. In this life, I am Klysa!" Klysa's voice was long and resonant, echoing without end.
Xiuchen Heavenly God immediately asked, "Three hundred thousand years ago, what did your true body go to do? Why did it fall?"
"I want to know that too! That's why I must live a second life through Klysa, to find the answers from back then," Klysa said.
Bexi was one of the Twenty-Four Heavens from three hundred thousand years ago, the strongest in Paradise Realm, with strength no less than Haotian's at the time.
Of course, the one who had possessed Klysa was only a part of Bexi's divine soul thoughts left behind in Lihentian. Divine soul thoughts in Lihentian were often less than one percent, or even one-thousandth, of the true body's divine soul.
It was the true body's remnant left in Lihentian to comprehend the "Quantity."
Klysa raised both hands, dark divine qi surging from his palms.
Dark divine qi and rule divine patterns coiled above his head, condensing into a wheel, causing the heavenly and earthly rules in the surrounding space to shift.
It was the Great Perfection Infinite divine ability, Doomsday Heavenly Wheel.
The same divine ability, when executed by the current Klysa, had a completely different momentum, having undergone some kind of sublimation.
Xiuchen Heavenly God transmitted to Zhang Ruochen: "Leave quickly! When Bexi went to war back then, he must have sensed something was wrong, so he left behind many divine soul thoughts in Lihentian. These divine soul thoughts have combined, making them stronger than my divine soul at sixty percent of the Infinite Realm."
"Now that Bexi's remnant soul has merged with Klysa, his combat power has reached an extremely terrifying height. We are definitely no match!"
Bexi had once reached the Indestructible Infinite Realm. Even at Xiuchen Heavenly God's peak, the gap between them was enormous. How could he not be wary?
"No matter how strong he is, his realm is still below the Infinite."
Zhang Ruochen did not leave. Opponents were hard to come by, and having just condensed the Great Yin, he very much wanted to test himself against Klysa.
This level of confrontation could reveal his own shortcomings, which would benefit his future cultivation.
He formed a sword seal with his fingers.
"Swish, swish!"
Six divine swords shot out simultaneously, forming a sword formation.
Tens of thousands of sword lights appeared together as Zhang Ruochen drove the six swords to meet the attack, carrying an unparalleled, indomitable momentum.
"Good! Worthy of being a young man who can attract my attention. You have not tarnished the Great Venerable's reputation from back then."
Klysa's body merged into the Doomsday Heavenly Wheel.
His divine body merged with the divine ability—yet another ability that the previous Klysa had not possessed!
"Boom!"
Ten thousand swords clashed with the Doomsday Heavenly Wheel. Sword light and dark light mist interwove, then surged outward.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Zhang Ruochen and Klysa engaged in close-quarters combat, sometimes using fists, sometimes swords, sometimes fingers... various divine abilities and war weapons erupted like a storm.
Xiuchen Heavenly God knew very well that Klysa's divine soul strength was now definitely above his own, and his application of divine soul power was also superior.
But there was no other choice!
"Chaotic Time Lock Boundless!"
Xiuchen Heavenly God unleashed his ultimate technique. Rivers of time manifested one after another, like a thousand white dragons, charging toward the battle circle of Zhang Ruochen and Klysa.
Moments later.
Klysa retreated rapidly, a bloody hole appearing in his chest.
He had been affected by the power of time, allowing Zhang Ruochen to seize the opportunity and pierce him through with a sword.
Their confrontation was truly the pinnacle battle below the Infinite Realm. But Xiuchen Heavenly God's participation had broken the balance, causing Klysa to lose.
Seeing Klysa wounded, Xiuchen Heavenly God's spirits lifted.
So he was nothing special after all.
That's right—Bexi of the Twenty-Four Heavens had long since died. The one before them was just a remnant soul. What was there to fear?
The bloody hole in Klysa's chest slowly healed. His expression was calm and composed, neither angry nor pleased, and he said, "Good. That exchange just now allowed me to gauge your strength. I now somewhat believe Xiuchen's words—your cultivation time must indeed be very short, otherwise your shortcomings would not be so obvious."
"Now, there's no need for me to use my weaknesses to clash head-on with your strengths!"
"Whoosh!"
Klysa released his divine soul outward, directly launching a divine soul attack.
And it was aimed at both Xiuchen Heavenly God and Zhang Ruochen simultaneously.
Zhang Ruochen's expression grew increasingly serious. He immediately retreated, standing beneath the Bodhi tree. At the same time, he fully activated the Buddha Relic, causing thousands of Buddha shadows to manifest, with faint chanting sounds filling heaven and earth.
His spiritual power domain and Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram also manifested.
Facing the remnant soul of a Heavenly Venerable, Zhang Ruochen could only choose divine soul defense first.
If he could not defend, he would have to retreat immediately.
If he could defend, he would then drive his swords and attack. At that point, the pressure would fall on Klysa!
Xiuchen Heavenly God immediately dove into the Sundial.
The sound of flowing water echoed through heaven and earth as rivers of time flowed around the Sundial, dissolving Klysa's divine soul attack.
"Such powerful divine soul... I can't hold out..."
The pressure on Zhang Ruochen grew heavier and heavier. He saw endless darkness surging toward him, continuously crushing the Buddha shadows, causing the light radiating from the Bodhi tree to grow dimmer and dimmer.
The Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram and spiritual power domain were constantly being eroded.
Although Zhang Ruochen's entire body radiated Buddha light, the darkness drew ever closer.
"I can't just wait to be killed like this!"
Zhang Ruochen activated both Time Esoterica and Dark Esoterica simultaneously. The ink moon on the jade tree, representing the Great Yin, burst forth with brilliant radiance. Instantly, the eroded Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram began to spin rapidly.
The endless darkness was shattered.
Moreover, the ink moon hanging on the jade tree began to frantically absorb the shattered dark soul power.
"You... you can actually wield the power of esoterica to such a formidable degree here in Lihentian!"
Klysa's voice rang out, tinged with astonishment.
Then, the dark soul mist very decisively retreated like an ebbing tide.
