As someone who have dealt with several otherworlder before, she knew how transmigration worked. One had to die for the other to take over.

She then reached a realization.

This is not the same Lin Xuanyu she knew of.

Chen Hao's eyes shined a bit, "So he is really like me..."

The world he currently lived in was not in fact his original world.

He came from a world where Spiritual energies and such were mere concepts that people know about from novels and mythology.

Hence, he also in a way could be classified as an otherworlder. However, he was not considered a threat to the world and that's what made him different.

It looks like Lin Xuanyu might be similar to him.

"Which faction do you belong to?!" Lin Yuan demanded, his tone wary now, as though he were speaking to an unknown predator.

Lin Xuanyu tilted his head slightly, his expression thoughtful. "Faction? Uh… I guess All-Heaven?"

"All-Heaven?" Li Na was surprised, "Is there a faction like that in the endless reality?"

"I don't think so" Chen Hao commented. As the admin of the group chat, he pretty much knew all the various factions that dealt with the Main God Dimension and he definitely didn't see anything like that.

"This Lin Xuanyu is not simple" Empress Lihua commented as she looked at the screen with interested. She was curious about how he found out the other party's identity.

"All-Heaven?" Lin Yuan frowned. "Never heard of it."

"And that means it's fine even if I kill you!" Lin Yuan grinned. "Transmigrators usually have a system, and you most definitely have one as well. If I use Devour on you, I'll make it mine!"

Indeed not even the guy working for the Main God dimension knew about it.

Lin Yuan then lunged forward. A blazing dagger appeared in his hand, its flames licking the air as he swung it down with deadly precision.

Clank!

The sound of steel colliding with steel reverberated through the warehouse. Lin Yuan stumbled back slightly, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared Lin Xuanyu's hand. "Sword intent?!"

Lin Xuanyu stood firm, lowering his hand as a faint grin curled his lips. "Enough chit-chat," he said calmly. "It's time to fight it out."

"Sword Intent?" Henry was surprised.

He knew what Sword Intent was, In fact there was something like that in his world too and from Lia he knew how hard it is to cultivate sword intent.

According to her, only those who have a god-level talent could even think about forming sword intent at such a young age and by the look of it, he was the same age as Li Na and Lia.

The most shocked one was Lia, being childhood friends she knew how bad Lin Xuanyu was at swordsmanship.

How did he suddenly form sword intent?

Yet at the same time, this only further confirmed her suspicion. This was not the Lin Xuanyu she knew.

Lin Xuanyu dashed forward with his longsword, the blade glowing faintly with cosmic energy.

Both of clashed at extreme speed, their movements invisible to the naked eye. Powerful energies showed up in the screen as several shockwaves went off in succession.

Within seconds, the two of them had already exchanged fifty strikes.

"They are fast!" Li Na gasped, "I'm already at 2nd stage of existence and yet I can't keep with the speed of someone at 1st stage of existence?"

She was honestly shocked.

Her eyes which were transformed by the first transition between existences and was far stronger than mere mortals at 1st stage of existence, yet she couldn't keep up to Lin Xuanyu's and Lin Yuan's speed.

Arthur watched the battle unfold, his eyes filled with astonishment. "His swordsmanship… it's flawless. Every strike, every parry—it's as if he's anticipating his opponent's moves before they're even made. No wasted motion, no errors. It's perfect."

"Indeed," Empress Lihua agreed, her gaze steady on Lin Xuanyu as he faced Lin Yuan. "His precision is almost unnatural. Every action is deliberate, every movement a perfect counter to his opponent's strength. The otherworlder's force and speed are clearly superior, yet Lin Xuanyu makes it look effortless. It's as if he can see the future, responding with the perfect counter each time."

The power of Cosmic Heaven Piercer and Lin Xuanyu's Spiritual Perception was in full display.

All of the chat group members were in awe.

"That level of precision and perfect combination of sword art... cannot be achieved normally" Empress Lihua remarked. A sharp glint flashed through her eyes.

This guy is not simple indeed.

She even doubted if he had spiritual perception or not.

"..." Lia watched silently. She was fully concentrated on the screen without making a sound.

"You! How are you parrying my attacks! I'm faster than you!" Lin Yuan shouted in anger. "That is not possible!"

Then the perspective zoomed in as Lin Yuan's dagger ignited in flames, the heat surging like a tidal wave. He slashed downward, and a fiery dragon roared toward Lin Xuanyu.

"That's Initiate level Fire Law!" Lia said in surprise. 

How is that Otherworlder using Law at core-formation stage?!

The only reason Lia was able to comprehend Laws early was due to her affinity with laws.

Yet this guy at core-formation 1st stage is using it?!

Are laws that easy to comprehend in this Age?!

"He's actually using a law?" Henry's surprised voice came from the side. "Even I can't see through Laws yet this otherworlder can use it? This is tricky!"

Boom!

The fiery dragon struck the ground with devastating force, obliterating the warehouse in a fiery explosion.

"Laws are scary..." Li Na mumbled under her breath after seeing the power behind a single low-attack from Lin Yuan. She highly doubted that she could take the dude head on.

'That has to hurt..." Henry commented.

Lin Yuan stood amidst the flames, laughing maniacally. "How's that? This is the early stage of Level One Fire Law!"

A scoff echoed through the smoke. Lin Xuanyu emerged, surrounded by a green aura.

Three glowing rune circles faded beneath his feet as he stepped forward, completely unharmed.

"Wood Rune Manifestation?" Lia commented with uncertainty.

However, Empress Lihua suddenly showed a surprised look.

However before she could say anything Arthur says, "He's using Runes in front of actual laws?!"

"Three runes simultaneously too" Empress Lihua commented with a frown. "The energy drain on using Runes is simply too consuming. I'm afraid he might be out of Energy soon."

But the question still remained. How is using Runes in front of a Law?!

Law is the fundamental building block of a world and it's value surpasses the world itself.

It is written deep into the world rules that once a law emerges the imitations have to go into hiding.

Yet even with Lin Yuan's law active, it still couldn't suppress his rune manifestation.

Lin Yuan's smirk disappeared, replaced by confusion and shock. "How are you using rune manifestation in the presence of an actual law?!"

Lin Xuanyu smirked back. "It's black magic," he teased.

Everyone in the room fell silent when they heard this.

Lia looked at the scene with wide-eye. First Sword Intent and now Law suppression doesn't work on him?

How is that even possible?

What kind of power is this?!

"Impossible!" Lin Yuan shouted, hurling a blazing flame at Lin Xuanyu with incredible speed.

In response, Lin Xuanyu conjured four fire runes, creating blazing magic circles in an instant. Scorching flames surged forth, colliding violently with Lin Yuan's attack.

Boom!

An even larger explosion than before erupted, shaking the area and throwing debris everywhere.

Everyone: ???

Everyone was dumbfounded. 

"Empress Lihua didn't you say that he was almost out of Energy? How did he suddenly summon 4 fire runes and match the power of an actual law?!" Li Na exclaimed in surprise. "And Isn't rune manifestation supposed to take a lot of time? How is he spamming it?!"

"..." Empress Lihua had no explanation on it.

Lia had sent many rune manifestation techniques in the chat group for everyone to learn and out of curiosity she also learned it and was surprised to find out that it consumed a lot of energy while in the process of using it and it would take time to even fully utilize it.

Yet the person in the screen utterly defied all of the logic and was spamming rune manifestation.

"Let's continue watching" Arthur said as he concentered on the screen. He haven't took his eyes off the screen since the start of the battle.

Never in his life would've he thought he would find battles of lower lifeforms interesting.

The scene shifted, revealing Lin Xuanyu mid-action, vines shot out from his side.

The vines froze Lin Yuan in place as a purple aura surged from Lin Xuanyu's body, and his sword intent fused with his blade.

Cosmic energy funneled into the weapon, while ten fire runes manifested directly onto the sword's surface. A deadly, and power aura enveloped him.

"T-Ten Runes?!" Henry's eyes went wide. 

"What?!" Even Lihua and Arthur was stunned.

Is this the power of a 1st stage existence?

Just how much energy did he have inside his body?!

In the screen, Energy rippled through the air as Lin Xuanyu's figure blurred, moving faster than the eye could follow.

His speed broke the sound barrier as Lin Xuanyu closed the distance in a single step, he shockwave rippled across the battlefield.

"Not good!" Lin Yuan shouted, hastily erecting a spiritual energy barrier. "Aegis!"

Lin Yuan in the screen prepared to fly up to the sky, planning on aiming to escape Lin Xuanyu's range. But it was too late.

Lin Xuanyu's sword cleaved through the barrier like paper, the combination of Cosmic Edge Awakening and fire runes overpowering Lin Yuan's defenses.

Fear flashed across Lin Yuan's face as he screamed, "How is this possible?! You're only at the 8th Transition! How can you destroy my Spiritual barrier?!"

In a last-ditch effort, Lin Yuan summoned an enormous fireball the size of a basketball court.

Li Na, Henry, and Lia were shocked at the sudden appearance of the enormous fireball.

It lit up the entire sky and everything else looked small in it's comparison.

If it hit's Lin Xuanyu then he was as good as dead.

"That fireball It can directly evaporate a 2nd stage core-formation expert!" Lia said in shock. If that thing hit Lin Xuanyu he was good as dead.

But before it could reach Lin Xuanyu, he vanished from sight, reappearing directly in front of Lin Yuan.

With a single, swift motion, Lin Xuanyu's sword pierced through Lin Yuan's chest.

His body fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Xuanyu stood there with his glowing sword.

He had won.

Following that the reply ended, with the screen turning black.

[The reply has ended]

However nobody replied. They were staring silently at the screen not sure on what to say.

This guy...

He was a walking cheat!
