Ch. 103 - Three Major Domains

"Get lost! You don't deserve to be my brother!" Hong Lie roared.

Hong Tai clenched his fists, his face contorted with rage.

"Brother, Ling Qingxue is just an outsider. Why are you so determined to protect her? Isn't it worth it to trade her life for my breakthrough to the King Rank? From now on, we brothers will both be King Rank, and Nanchuan Province will surely become even stronger!"

"Is this your reason for betraying me? Just to break through to the King Rank?!"

He had never expected that Hong Tai's breakthrough was facilitated by Yang Wuqi.

Even more unbelievable was that Hong Tai would choose to believe Yang Wuqi, a member of an evil cult, for a mere chance to break through to the King Rank.

How utterly foolish!

Yang Wuqi raised an eyebrow indifferently. "Alright, make your choice. Leave safely or die here. You only have one choice!"

Hong Lie was severely injured and had very little fighting power.

Within this spatially isolated altar, Beiming Feng's strength would be significantly reduced, and Kunpeng's spatial power would be restricted.

Even with his two-on-one advantage, Beiming Feng wasn't entirely confident of victory.

This was the ancestral land of the Soul Tribe; no one knew if Yang Wuqi had any other tricks up his sleeve.

Furthermore, the large formation outside composed of the Soul Beast army, was connected to the secret place. Forcibly destroying the formation would destroy the entire secret place, potentially sending them into spatial turbulence.

Yang Wuqi's actions were intended to deter everyone.

He didn't want to fight anyone else; all he wanted was the Taotie bloodline, and then he could seek revenge on the Liu family!

The Liu family had once sent troops to slaughter the Soul Tribe; how could such a blood feud go unavenged!

Wu Liang stood on the altar, his expression extremely uneasy.

"No wonder that old fellow, Doctor Li, ran away in the end. He knew that once he entered here, he couldn't escape!"

Ling Qingxue stroked the altar, her face darkening.

The Space-Severing Stone was an extremely precious treasure, a top-tier material for crafting sealing artifacts and enchanting formations. Its hardness was such that even a King Rank expert could not easily break it.

And the Soul Tribe actually possessed such a large piece of it.

"This thing is indestructible. If I could break it, I could just swallow it, and the formation would collapse on its own!" Wu Liang said, frustrated.

Ling Qingxue remained silent, instead heading towards the Soul-Cleansing Pool.

Wu Liang couldn't contribute, so he began attempting to absorb the spatial power within the Space-Severing Stone.

【Ding! A wisp of spatial power, absorbed. Spatial Control Power progress +1%!】

Wu Liang was delighted.

"Absorbing this pure spatial power actually grants me Spatial Control Power! I'll absorb it all!!"

......

Beiming Feng raised his longsword, simultaneously summoning the Ice Wind Kunpeng.

"Make your move!"

Yang Wuqi sneered, unleashing a vast surge of spiritual power.

He was the Soul Beast King, and furthermore, he had the bloodline of the Soul Devouring Beast. Both types of beasts possessed incredibly powerful spiritual energy.

It could be said that, with these combined powers, few within the King Rank could surpass him in spiritual power.

"Beiming Feng, you are too arrogant. Outside, I couldn't capture you, nor could I defeat you, but inside this shrine, my power is limitless. The power of all the Soul Beasts will continuously flow into my body. You will never be my match, even in death!"

The Soul Beast Formation was not only meant to trap everyone, but also to communicate with the altar, forming a unified whole.

Here, he feared no one!

Boom!

A vast ocean of spiritual energy surged towards Beiming Feng like a raging torrent.

Beiming Feng held his sword in one hand, unleashing a Sword Aura Domain, followed by a Wind Domain, and finally… a Spatial Domain!

With the three domains overlapping, his aura reached its peak, its sharp edge radiating outwards.

The raging torrent of spiritual energy surrounding him was instantly wiped out by the three domains.

Yang Wuqi gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Three domains! You've actually condensed three domains all by yourself!!"

A King Rank martial artist could only condense one domain; condensing an additional one increased the difficulty exponentially.

To master two domains simultaneously was the mark of a prodigy, but Beiming Feng possessed three!

This was the source of his confidence!

This was the fundamental reason for his power.

Beiming Feng walked step by step towards Yang Wuqi through the void, his face icy cold.

"Seven Absolute Sword Techniques, Soul Annihilation!!"

The longsword drew upon the sword energy within its domain, forming an enormous sword shadow, which then slashed down fiercely towards Yang Wuqi.

The surrounding spiritual energy turned to ashes the moment it touched this sword shadow, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

Yang Wuqi gritted his teeth, dodging the attack and simultaneously unleashing his own domain—the Soul Domain!

The two King Rank warriors began their battle, powerful shockwaves constantly radiating outwards.

"Hong Tai, capture Ling Qingxue and the Taotie for me. Remember, I can help you break through, but I can also take back your power!"

Hong Tai's face darkened, and he walked towards Ling Qingxue.

He had tried countless methods to break through to the King Rank, but all had failed. Only Yang Wuqi could help him, and his condition was to capture Ling Qingxue.

She was a mere high school student, even though an outstanding one. He ultimately couldn't resist the temptation.

Hong Lie blocked his path, and the Fiery Two-Headed Lizard emerged from its seal, although it bore significant injuries.

"Hong Tai, stop now, or one of us will die today!"

Hong Tai trembled, a struggle flashing in his eyes.

"Brother, why can't you support me just this once? You've always known that breaking through to the King Rank is my greatest wish. Once Yang Wuqi gets what he wants, Nanchuan Province will return to normal, and your injuries will heal quickly!"

Hong Lie's gaze was icy. "If you want to go, you'll have to step over my dead body. My decision will never change!"

Hong Tai roared, a large amount of beastly aura emanating from his body.

"You really did break through by fusing magical beast bloodlines. How foolish!" Hong Lie said weakly.

If fusing magical beast bloodlines was the easy path, why would humans choose the path of martial arts?

Humans and beasts were too different. By fusing with magical beast bloodlines, humans became puppets of those bloodlines.

In the end, they ceased to be human!

Hong Tai's eyes turned like those of a wild beast, his humanity slowly fading away.

"Why are you forcing me! Why are you forcing me!! Why do you insist on forcing me!!!"

"I don't want to kill you, I just want to break through to the King Rank, what's wrong with that? I did nothing wrong!!"

Hong Tai's body began to grow blood-red scales, and his five fingers turned into claws as he transformed into a half-beast form.

With just one strike, Hong Lie, already severely injured, was sent flying, his aura growing increasingly weak.

Hong Tai's eyes flickered slightly, but were quickly consumed by a cold, bestial instinct.

His temperament was already flawed, and he couldn't control the bestial nature hidden within the bloodline. Breaking through to the King Rank came at the cost of forever losing himself.

Hong Lie's eyes wept blood, but he was helpless.

Screech!

The Ice Wind Kunpeng flashed in, swatting Hong Tai away with a single claw.

It possessed the bloodline of the divine beast Kunpeng. Even with the space sealed, its strength remained formidable.

Hong Tai also summoned his magical beast, the Thorny War Wolf.

The Fiery Two-Headed Lizard also joined the battle, fighting fiercely with the Thorny War Wolf, as these former comrades turned into complete enemies.
