An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

As the Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman took shape, a massive trigram formation suddenly appeared at the

center of the battle ring. It spanned across the ring, whirling and transforming with relentless speed.

At that moment, Dustin was standing. inside the enchantment circle. He suddenly felt overwhelmed by

tremendous pressure.

Unlike the crushing force from the Summit Shift talisman that affected his body, this pressure cfrom his

mind. He felt as if he were confined in a cage and unable to escape, regardless of how hard he struggled.

Unlike the explosion Caleb had used against Sam, the Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman now showcased its true

power.

“You shouldn’t have giventto prepare. Your arrogance is your downfall.” Caleb let out a sigh of relief

upon seeing the enchantment circle in place.

The Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman was powerful but required several seconds to cast-a timefrthat could

be deadly against a skilled opponent.

During his fight with Sam yesterday, Caleb was forced to rely on an explosion due to dire circumstances. Hence,

he only managed to unleash a fraction of the Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman’s power.

With the completion of the enchantment circle, he could finally utilize the full power of the talisman.

“Are you ready? Then, I'll make my move.” Dustin slowly raised his sword, and the tip pointed straight at Caleb.

Caleb's eyelids twitched, and an unexpected surge of anxiety swept over him. Without hesitation, he formed a

hand seal with both hands. “Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman! Seal!”

With a thunderous roar, the massive trigram formation spun violently beneath his feet. Beams of golden light

burst forth like chains and coiled around Dustin. In the blink of an eye, he was fully bound by the golden chains.

“Restrain!” Caleb formed a hand seal again. The trigram formation on the battle ring stopped before spinning in

reverse.

Suddenly, eight golden characters Heaven, Earth, Gale, Thunderstorm, Abyss, Inferno, Peak, and Torrent-

hovered above and rotated at blinding speed. Then, a towering golden mountain materialized in midair and

descended toward Dustin’s head.

The battle ring trembled as the air crackled with a thunderous explosion, and an oppressive force enveloped the

venue. Even with a protective shield, the spectators seated a hundred yards away still felt the chilling weight of

power pressing down on them.

“So, this is the fully powered Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman. It's utterly terrifying!”

“I thought it was just an explosive move, but | never expected it to have so many variations. No wonder it’s the

Sacred Wyrm Summit's ultimate move.

“I admit Dustin is strong, but Caleb still overpowered him.”

They initially thought the Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman was merely a formidable offensive move.

But now they realized it was a devastating technique combining an enchantment circle with a Divine Talisman.

This ultimate move incorporated the strengths of the enchantment circle and the talisman’s deadly power.

Together, these elements amplified the strike tenfold.

Such a level of assault exceeded a grandmaster’s capabilities and reached the ultimate grandmaster’s

destructive force. Even someone as powerful as Glenn would need to approach it with caution.

“Mr. Hadley, what do you think? You were so confident in Dustin earlier, so what about now?” Alloy asked,

smirking.

Even he could sense the overwhelming power emanating from the Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman,

underscoring the lethal nature of that move.

“What's the rush? The fight isn’t over yet. We still don’t know who will win in the end,” Cyrus replied coldly.

Alloy scoffed. “You really won't quit until you've hit the wall. Even when the. outcis clear, you still cling to

your pride. Fine. Let's see how this unfolds.”

Caleb formed a series of hand seals while guiding the towering golden mountain as it descended toward Dustin

on the battle ring.

Trapped in the center of the enchantment circle and bound by golden chains, Dustin had no way to escape.

“Surrender now! Otherwise, you'll be crushed to death!” Caleb shouted. He had no desire to kill Dustin, so he

reduced the speed of the descending

mountain and hoped to give him one final chance to concede.

“You wantto surrender? You should check yourself!” Dustin smiled faintly as his mystical pure energy surged

within him. With a crackling sound, the golden chains that bound him exploded one after another.

With a determined step, he disregarded the enchantment circle’s restraints and charged straight at the towering

golden mountain looming above with his sword.

With each strike, Dustin's Celestial Blade sliced through the mountain effortlessly. The massive structure

shattered on impact and sent debris flying in all directions.

Even the trigram formation that served as the foundation of the enchantment circle disintegrated into dust.

“How is that possible?”

The spectators were stunned by the scene before them.

Caleb stood rooted in shock.

Under the restraint of the enchantment circle, Dustin had shattered the Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman with a

single strike. What kind of monster was this guy?

Even Alloy, who had been watching with a smirk, sat up straight. His face was frozen in disbelief.

“I'm about to unleash a powerful move. Let's see if you can handle it.” After breaking through the trigram

formation, Dustin suddenly turned around midair and descended from above with his sword aimed at Caleb.

The air crackled, and the ground began to tremble. A giant black sword aura materialized in thin air and dropped

like a mountain.

Caleb stared at the giant black sword that plummeted toward him. He was rooted to the spot as his mind went

blank.

He wanted to counterattack, but an overwhelming sense of helplessness engulfed him as though nothing he

could do would stop this cataclysmic blow.

After seeing Dustin effortlessly countered his Eight Trigrams of Divine Talisman, Caleb already knew he had lost.

“Stop! Sacred Wrym Summit surrender!

Seeing Caleb paralyzed with shock, Oron couldn't hold back and shouted. He leaped into the air and struck

Dustin's sword with his palm to stop the impending disaster.

He had attained a level where he could manifest the Glow Incantation in physical form, which empowered his

palm strike. His mastery of this technique surpassed Caleb's.

The collision of sword and palm produced a thunderous explosion. A terrifying wave of energy erupted like a

tsunami, and Oron was knocked back over ten yards. The golden light surrounding him flickered intensely, and

cracks began to form across its surface.

When he landed, he staggered several steps before regaining his footing. His internal energy churned violently,

and his arm was numb from the impact.

In contrast, Dustin descended gently and was unaffected by the impact.

The scene left the crowd in shocked disbelief again.
