Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

"How long can you withstand such a widespread and ferocious attack?"

Faced with Xiang Bei's relentless onslaught, the four-armed man stopped attacking and quickly retreated to create distance between himself and Xiang Bei.

Xiang Bei ignored the four-armed man's words and continued to slam his halberd towards the man like a tidal wave.

Huge waves!

Xiang Bei's eyes, however, grew even brighter!

Domain! Domain!

It is an extension of a state of mind, an evolution. When a person's state of mind is strong enough to influence the surrounding environment, strong enough to leverage the cosmic energy around them.

When it is condensed to the point where it can trigger a qualitative change, a domain is naturally formed.

In an instant, Xiang Bei's attacks seemed to change.

Its power is even more ferocious, and its attacks are even more refined!

If Xiang Bei's halberd technique was previously characterized by his own energy being swift and domineering under the impetus of his artistic conception, then...

So now Xiang Bei's attack seems to have naturally drawn upon the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) to transform into an attack.

The area covered by Xiang Bei seemed to have truly transformed into a vast ocean, with turbulent waves!

Not only does it conserve more energy during combat, but it also has a larger attack range.

At the same time, the power of the attack is even more terrifying, far exceeding its former self.

Suddenly, the four-armed man's view of Xiang Bei changed. It was as if he was no longer fighting Xiang Bei, but a raging sea.

Endless, towering waves crashed down on him!

Its overwhelming power, carrying the weight of heaven and earth, was almost unstoppable!

"The Realm of Water!"

The four-armed man's hawk-like eyes narrowed instantly, and his expression changed drastically.

With a single movement, he was about to retreat further back.

"Where did these guys come from! Their moves are clearly rudimentary, they haven't learned any profound secret techniques, yet they all possess domain power!"

The four-armed man was utterly bewildered. When did the field become as common as cabbage?

He was one of the top geniuses in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and also one of the top geniuses among the planetary-level geniuses in the Ice Sea Holy Land.

So far, he has only grasped a small part of the field, but his teacher has already nurtured him as a genius, and he has even attracted the attention of a powerful realm lord who is expected to take him in as a disciple.

But what are these three things I'm facing?

Three martial artists who appeared to have received no profound training, yet each of them had mastered a domain.

Isn't this world a little too absurd?

Regardless of the four-armed man's surprise and doubt, his situation immediately became difficult in the face of Xiang Bei's attack.

Invisible water currents swirled around the four-armed man, making him feel as if he were submerged in seawater. Every movement he made was met with heavy resistance, and his originally cunning and unpredictable speed was completely suppressed!

Rushing

Xiang Bei's attacks came one after another, making it impossible for the four-armed man's wind-based techniques to dodge them all. Once swept up, even the wind would be shattered!

Caught off guard, the four-armed man was struck by Xiang Bei's halberd and immediately coughed up blood as he flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground some distance away, creating a huge crater.

"drink!"

With a roar, Xiang Bei's battle halberd soared into the air, and he leaped high like a war god, with a phantom image of an incredibly violent wave crashing down from the horizon behind him.

"Damn it!"

Smoke billowed, and the four-armed man's eyes widened. Under the pressure of Xiang Bei's move, he felt a sense of utter inability to defeat him.

It seemed that no matter how he dodged, he would be crushed to pieces by Xiang Bei's halberd.

"I don't believe it!" The four-armed man's eyes were bloodshot.

He had fought Hong before, and that battle was a foregone conclusion. He only exchanged a dozen or so blows with Hong before Hong pierced his body with a single spear.

He could feel the power of that shot; even the light was diverted by it.

Then he found Thor, and in that battle he was once again crushed. His speed, which he was so proud of, was completely overwhelmed by Thor. He couldn't even keep up with Thor's pace and was torn to shreds by Thor's violent blade light.

This was his third battle. He thought he had the strength to fight back, but he didn't expect his opponent to be a powerful expert who had also comprehended the power of the domain.

Those relentless, ferocious attacks left him completely defenseless.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Filled with resentment, the four-armed man with bloodshot eyes felt the wind around him quiet down for a moment!

"Whoosh!"

In the nick of time, the four-armed man seemed to transform into a gust of wind, narrowly dodging Xiang Bei's attack!

"You dodged it!"

The four-armed man was overjoyed!

"You dodged it?"

Xiang Bei was startled for a moment, then instantly swept his halberd back.

"Boom!"

Like a dragon turning its head.

The four-armed man was overjoyed at having dodged Xiang Bei's attack when he suddenly saw a halberd rapidly enlarging in front of him!

"No!"

The four-armed man roared and tried to escape again, but this time he was too late.

Half of his body was shattered by Xiang Bei's attack!

"Phew! We won!" Xiang Bei's face lit up with joy.

He gained a lot from this battle.

The battle with these talented martial artists from powerful forces not only broadened his horizons but also exposed him to more profound secret techniques.

The most important thing is the field!

Long ago, Xiang Bei had been yearning to master the power of the domain.

After more than a year of honing his skills, learning, and accumulating experience, Xiang Bei finally broke through the thick fog and saw the threshold of the field a little over ten days ago.

For the past ten days or so, Xiang Bei has been staring at that threshold and relentlessly climbing towards it.

Now, I've finally stepped one foot across that threshold.

Water Domain First Level

Xiang Bei smiled slightly, and suddenly the surrounding area seemed to surge like water, with everything within a radius of tens of meters being enveloped by Xiang Bei's invisible waters.

"This is the Water Domain. It is indeed completely different from the previous realm. Compared to before, my attacks are much more powerful, and even the consumption on myself is greatly reduced."

Before, I felt like I was using a wooden oar to paddle a small boat on the ocean. Although I could leverage the power of the water, the speed was slow and the effort was wasted.

Now I am like a sailboat with a sail hoisted; the ship is larger and more powerful, but by harnessing the power of nature, it can sail swiftly across the sea, not only faster but also with less effort.

Xiang Bei's eyes were bright, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Let's go tell Brother Hong and Second Brother the good news!" Xiang Bei said with a smile as he exited the duel space.

at the same time

Killing Grounds, a quiet room

A burly figure was silently watching the screen.

A smile played on his usually stern face, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"They are indeed some good little guys; I hope they won't disappoint me."

The burly figure seemed to be talking to himself, and then with a flick of his finger, several messages were sent out.
