My attributes are increasing infinitely

Chapter 518: Returning to Elysium

The White Knight received an order from Ethan.

“Do not move yet. Let it escalate to its full potential first. Then move. Give me a proper show.”

“As you wish, my master,” the knight replied in a deep and steady voice.

At that moment, the auction house had already descended into complete chaos. The restraints of fear and reason were disappearing rapidly as countless cultivators and powerful beings prepared themselves to storm the tower and seize its treasures through force.

Killing intent flooded the surroundings like a violent storm.

Ryan slowly raised his head and looked toward the enemies surrounding them from every direction. His eyes turned cold and sharp. He already understood their intentions clearly. None of these people planned to leave peacefully.

They wanted blood.

If that was the case, then he would give them blood.

“Guardian, they have already made their decision,” Ryan said coldly. “Handle the Source Authority Realm ancestors. I will deal with those Eternal Sovereigns myself.”

Far away, Ethan watched everything calmly before speaking again.

“Give Ryan his stage. Only bind the Source Authority Realm beings.”

The White Knight slightly lowered his head.

“Very well.”

Ethan’s gaze remained calm as he looked toward Ryan. He understood him too well. Ryan needed this battle. If Ethan interfered too early and protected him from everything, Ryan’s heart would slowly weaken. He would begin depending on Ethan’s protection instead of standing proudly through his own strength.

That was unacceptable.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion erupted from Ryan’s body.

His muscles expanded violently as his figure grew larger and larger. In only seconds, he transformed into a massive titan whose presence shook the entire auction tower.

The ground beneath him cracked apart.

“Come on, bastards!” Ryan roared.

Boom!

Like a falling meteor, Ryan shot toward the Eternal Sovereigns at terrifying speed.

The surrounding enemies immediately attacked together. Laws and divine techniques flooded the battlefield with destructive power capable of destroying worlds.

At the same moment, one of the Source Authority Realm ancestors snorted coldly and released his pressure toward Ryan, attempting to crush him instantly.

However, the old man’s expression suddenly froze.

His powers vanished.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not mobilize even a fraction of his cultivation.

“What is happening?” he shouted in horror.

He looked around frantically and discovered that the other Source Authority Realm ancestors all wore the same terrified expressions.

Their powers had also disappeared.

No.

More accurately, they had been sealed completely.

An indescribable fear gripped their hearts.

That monster was truly here.

Only now did they finally understand the truth. The being behind this tower had personally arrived.

Their bodies trembled.

“We are finished,” one ancestor thought in despair. “Our entire bloodline is finished.”

Meanwhile, the Eternal Sovereigns continued attacking Ryan with everything they had. They no longer held back because they already sensed something was terribly wrong.

Ryan, however, fought like a mad beast.

Every punch shattered space.

Every roar shook souls.

Several Eternal Sovereigns exploded into blood mist beneath his attacks.

At the same time, Riya and the other forty eight members also entered the battlefield alongside the tower guards. Their attacks swept across the auction house with overwhelming force as countless enemies fell one after another.

Still, the enemy side possessed far greater numbers.

The battle quickly turned brutal.

Blood covered the broken battlefield.

Ryan continued fighting endlessly, but wounds slowly began accumulating across his enormous body. Deep cuts appeared on his chest and arms while blood poured from his mouth.

Even then, he refused to retreat.

The Eternal Sovereigns stared at him with fear.

They could not understand how he still remained standing.

Normally, they would have relied on their ancestors to suppress him instantly, but those terrifying old monsters were strangely doing nothing at all.

No.

It was not that they refused to move.

They simply could not.

Several minutes passed.

Ryan killed many enemies, but his own aura gradually weakened. His movements became slower while exhaustion started consuming his strength.

Finally, one Eternal Sovereign laughed viciously.

“You are finally reaching your limit!”

Another one sneered coldly.

“You should have died earlier.”

The surrounding enemies laughed despite their battered conditions. Most of them were heavily injured, yet relief finally appeared in their eyes after seeing Ryan weaken.

Ryan breathed heavily as blood dripped from his body.

His vision blurred.

He understood that he could not continue much longer.

Slowly, he closed his eyes.

“I am sorry, Ethan,” he muttered weakly. “I could not protect your treasures.”

Snap.

A single snapping sound echoed through the battlefield.

Then everything became silent.

Ryan slowly opened his eyes.

The Eternal Sovereigns who had surrounded him were gone.

Every single enemy had transformed into blood mist.

Even the Source Authority Realm ancestors had disappeared completely as if they had never existed.

The White Knight had finally moved.

Ryan’s eyes widened in shock.

He had known the knight was powerful, but this level of strength completely exceeded his understanding.

Then soft footsteps echoed nearby.

Ryan slowly turned his head.

A man and woman approached calmly through the destroyed battlefield.

When Ryan finally saw their faces clearly, tears instantly rolled down his cheeks.

“You are alive,” he muttered with relief. “Thank goodness.”

Ethan looked at him before snorting.

“What kind of greeting is that? Call me king properly.”

Ryan burst into laughter despite his injuries.

“Trust me, I want to, but my body is refusing.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about.”

Ethan casually snapped his fingers.

Instantly, Ryan’s injuries disappeared completely. His exhausted aura returned to its peak while all the other injured members also recovered fully.

Ryan looked down at himself in shock before laughing loudly.

“Hahaha! That is my king. A man without weakness.”

He immediately stepped forward, intending to kneel before Ethan like a loyal general greeting his emperor after a long separation.

However, Ethan directly pulled him into a tight embrace.

The two best friends hugged each other properly for the first time in a very long time.

Nearby, Rose and Riya both wiped tears from their eyes while the other forty eight members watched emotionally.

Ethan finally released Ryan before smiling slightly.

“Come. Your duty as my general is only beginning.”

Then he turned toward the White Knight.

“Destroy their bloodlines as well,” Ethan ordered coldly.

He would never allow betrayal to survive.

The White Knight bowed silently.

With a wave of Ethan’s hand, everyone vanished from the ruined auction tower.

The surrounding space distorted instantly before they reappeared on a beautiful celestial planet filled with spiritual energy.

Rose looked around curiously.

“Where are we?”

“My other family lives here,” Ethan replied calmly. “I came to bring them too.”

Without another word, Ethan began walking forward while the others silently followed behind him.

Soon, they arrived near a massive battlefield.

A young man stood there holding a sword while countless warriors and paladins surrounded him from every direction.

“Rey, surrender,” one paladin shouted coldly. “The Temple of Gods may spare your family.”

“Never,” Rey replied firmly. “My brother entrusted this planet to me. I will never allow you bastards to take it again.”

The paladin laughed mockingly.

“Your brother? The one who abandoned you? You are willing to die for him?”

“That is none of your business.”

Although Rey spoke coldly, deep sadness still existed within his eyes.

Where was Ethan?

Why had he never returned?

Was he even alive?

Behind the battlefield, Ethan quietly shook his head.

Back then, he had spared those gods and allowed them to leave alive. Yet now they had returned once again to threaten his brother.

“What a bunch of morons,” Ethan muttered.

This universe was actually extremely weak compared to the higher realities. Even tenth dimensional beings represented the limit here, and although Rey had already reached that level, he still appeared insignificant compared to Ryan and the others.

Ethan sighed softly.

“I do not want to waste time here.”

Then he slowly raised one hand as though holding an invisible sphere.

Instantly, the entire celestial planet appeared above his palm alongside the countless gods and paladins standing upon it.

Everyone froze.

A massive projection of Ethan appeared across the sky while his gigantic figure overlooked the entire world like an eternal ruler.

“I warned you not to return,” Ethan said coldly. “Yet you dared attack my brother?”

The gods instantly felt overwhelming horror consume their hearts.

Just hearing his voice nearly shattered their souls.

Meanwhile, Rey stared upward before suddenly bursting into loud laughter.

“Hahaha! My brother returned! Do you bastards see this now?”

Behind Ethan, Rose and the others silently watched with pride shining in their eyes.

This was her husband, her man.

This was their emperor.

Their lord.

Ryan stepped forward toward Rey with a smile.

“Hello, Rey. I am Ryan, Ethan’s best friend.”

Rey immediately bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, brother.”

He could already tell the man was sincere.

“Come,” Ryan said warmly. “Let us gather everyone. Ethan wants us to leave soon.”

“Of course.”

Rey quickly led them away.

High above the planet, Ethan merely glanced toward the gods.

That single gaze erased them instantly.

None of them even understood how they died.

It was simply the gaze of a higher existence.

Afterward, Ethan returned to his normal form and went to meet his grandfather alongside Rey’s parents.

Another emotional reunion followed.

Rey complained endlessly about Ethan disappearing for so long until Ethan finally handed him a supreme sword as compensation.

The moment Rey received the weapon, his anger disappeared almost instantly like an excited child receiving his favorite gift.

Ethan only shook his head helplessly.

Finally, he looked toward everyone calmly.

“Let us return. I still have many things to do.”
