Jin's body soared through the air, rushing towards Imu, who had transformed into a "horse skeleton," like a streak of light.
The giant skeletal frame of the horse emitted an eerie and terrifying black flame, as if it were an emissary from the underworld.
However, Jin showed no sign of retreat, instead, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold smile.
"God Avoidance!"
He murmured in a low voice, a voice that, despite its softness, carried a chilling power.
As if with the utterance of these two words, everything in the air froze.
Time seemed to stand still in that instant, with only the sword wielded by Jin, like a force breaking the shackles of heaven and earth, suddenly slashing down.
The blade cut through the sky, its earth-shattering light like lightning tearing through the land.
Accompanied by the swing of the blade, a huge arc of light suddenly bloomed in the air, so bright that it was almost impossible to look at directly.
In that instant, the world seemed to be swallowed by this earth-shattering strike, and everything in the world paled in comparison to the fierce power of this blade.
The sound of the wind, the battle cries, even the sound of breathing, were completely drowned out by the sharpness of this blade.
That domineering power was not only meant to sever Imu's body but also to cleave his soul in two.
The "horse skeleton's" skeletal body suddenly tensed under this strike, and the bones burning with black flames seemed to be subjected to an irresistible pressure, cracks rapidly spreading across the surface of the skeleton.
The eerie black flames even dimmed a bit before Jin's blade.
The skeletal horse suddenly raised its front hooves, seemingly trying to resist the power of this strike.
However, just as it stepped on the ground, the blade had already pierced through its defenses, directly cutting in from the front hooves and continuing upwards along the giant skeletal frame.
Accompanied by an ear-piercing crack, the skeletal horse's body was split in half by the blade, and the black flames, as if blown by the wind, frantically scattered in all directions at the moment of the split.
The disintegrating bones flew in the air, as if turned into a sky full of ashes under Jin's blade.
Imu's massive incarnation finally could not withstand it, and the entire skeletal horse's body completely disintegrated and collapsed, turning into scattered bone fragments and dust, falling to the ground.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to only have the existence of that one blade.
Time was restarted when the blade cut through the sky, and with the booming sound suddenly echoing between heaven and earth, the people around came back to their senses from the extreme shock.
The ground appeared a bottomless huge crack because of the blade's fall, like a chasm, lying across the center of the battlefield.
At the end of that crack, Jin's cold figure stood in the wind.
The Five Elders' gazes all turned to Jin, who was still standing tall, their eyes filled with astonishment and anger.
Imu's skeletal body was actually split by his one strike, which was by no means ordinary power, but a power that surpassed what they had seen before.
The members of the God's Knights were pale, and the domineering sword intent made them feel a chill.
Even Kizaru and Shanks, who were standing in the distance, were shocked by the astonishing momentum of this strike. They had never seen such a sharp blade, which was simply not a power that human could wield.
Jin sheathed his sword and stood upright, his eyes coldly sweeping across the field, as if waiting for the next wave of attack.
The wind howled past, raising his robe, with a bit of fearless posture.
He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the remaining Five Elders, "It seems that immortality is nothing more than this."
He said in a low voice, his tone full of sarcasm and contempt.
At that moment, everyone present was stunned as if struck by lightning, and only the earth-shattering sword light remained in their minds.
In the instant when the blade flashed, it seemed that the sound of the entire world was drawn away, and everyone could only see the arc of light cutting through the sky, penetrating the heaven and earth, and shocking the soul.
Even in the most intense battlefield, it seemed that time was frozen, leaving only Jin's figure and the incomparably domineering blade.
The marines all widened their eyes, their mouths slightly open, as if they had forgotten how to breathe.
"The...the...the sky is split open..."
"Mary Geoise is also split open..."
"My God, I...I...Mom, I saw a god..."
"..."
They had never seen such power, it seemed that even space was split open, and heaven and earth were trembling under that blade.
A thought emerged in their minds at the same time: Is this the limit that human can reach?
Such a powerful force is simply awe-inspiring.
Even those generals who had experienced many battles were now surging with emotions, and even the calm Kizaru could not help but clench his fists, his eyes revealing unprecedented shock and awe.
The members of the God's Knights were pale, and their legs seemed to tremble slightly in the aftermath of the blade.
"Pangaea Castle... is split open again..."
"When will this damn nightmare wake up?"
"It turns out that he was just playing house with us just now. This strength is enough to kill me hundreds of times."
"..."
They, who had barely maintained their dignity just now, were now filled with disbelief and fear in their eyes.
That power that overrides everything seems not to be something that an ordinary human can possess.
They once thought that as the best of the Celestial Dragons, their strength was enough to overlook everything, but in front of Jin, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Five Elders.
Although they were mentally prepared, this strike made them feel a chill.
At that moment, they even felt a sense of crisis enveloped their bodies.
They had not experienced this feeling for too long.
Even in countless battles in the past, they had never felt such fear and fear of anyone, but Jin in front of them made them feel the breath of death.
Shanks in the distance stared at the shocking sword mark, his heart shaken.
"You've become stronger again..."
"It's really not easy to catch up with you."
Although he knew something about Jin's strength, this strike still exceeded his imagination.
It was not only a manifestation of strength but also a kind of absolute confidence and fearlessness, as if Jin's will was as indestructible as this blade.
Shanks' eyes flickered slightly, and his respect for Jin increased a bit. He knew that Jin at this moment had stood in the ranks of the world's top warriors.
Kong couldn't help but grin, as if he had seen his younger generation achieve great achievements, and his eyes showed a hint of appreciation and fanatical fighting spirit.
"Good boy, he is worthy of being the person we are optimistic about!"
His fists were clenched and crackled, and the long-lost desire to fight surged in his chest.
He looked at Jin's back, and the spirit of seeing death as home made him feel excited.
Kong knew that today's battle would be destined to be recorded in history and become a magnificent chapter sung by countless people.
With the collapse of the skeletal horse and the huge crack lying across the battlefield, the ground vibration gradually subsided, but everyone's hearts were difficult to calm for a long time.
That sense of oppression, that shock that shook the soul, made people feel a deep sense of awe in astonishment.
It seemed that the blade not only split Imu's body but also shattered the pride and conceit in their hearts.
The air was filled with the breath of skeletal fragments and smoke, but everyone knew that this battle was far from over.
Jin was still standing in the center of the battlefield, holding a long knife, his eyes like torches.
At that moment, his figure seemed to be magnified countless times, becoming an existence that could not be ignored in everyone's eyes.
Just like the light of that blade, Jin was now declaring to the whole world with an incomparably sharp posture: he is by no means an existence that can be easily defeated.
However, the Five Elders were not provoked by Jin's words. Their faces still had cold smiles, and that determined and contemptuous expression seemed to be saying, "No matter how you struggle, you can't change the result."
At this moment, a stronger black flame rose from the crack, spreading out and gradually condensing into a human form.
Imu's figure reappeared, his eyes with a cold smile, as if mocking Jin's futility.
"As you can see, we cannot be destroyed." Imu's voice was low and cold, echoing in the sky above the battlefield, "No matter how strong you are, you can't break this chain of fate."
Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "Then it depends on whose will is more indestructible."
He clenched the sword in his hand again, and his whole momentum was ready to go, as if preparing to meet a more violent battle again.
