I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

"We've finally arrived."

After entering the wasteland region, the resistance encountered by the various armies in the safe zone was greatly reduced.

"Or rather, the strange forces don't have much power left. After all, along the way, we have killed countless strange beings at the Ascension Realm and torn through countless waves of strange forces."

A powerful warrior, whose battle armor was somewhat torn and whose body was covered in congealed bloodstains, spoke.

He was surrounded by a thick aura of bloodlust, a symbol of his hard-fought victory.

Along the way, their legion also suffered considerable losses, losing more than a dozen Sky-Splitter-class fighters, and many of their Ascension Realm comrades were seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battle.

Having overcome numerous obstacles to arrive here, their main force numbers are only 70% of what they started with.

If they have already suffered so many losses in combat power, what about the strange forces whose overall strength is far inferior to theirs?

The correct answer is that the strange creature has been eliminated!

"However, even so, I still felt uneasy, as if there was an ominous premonition."

The burly man wasn't the only one feeling oppressed; many others at the Transformation Realm also felt a dull ache in their chests, their intuition seemingly issuing a warning. Perhaps, at the ends of the earth, some great terror awaited them.

"But now that we've come this far, how can we just turn back?"

Shi An resided atop the Cloud City.

Each reconnaissance team continued to gather clues.

Following these clues, they soon arrived at the heart of the world—the city of Sunrise.

"but-……"

Lu Xun, the commander of the vanguard reconnaissance regiment of the central army, frowned.

Lu Xun is a special forces candidate and holds an important position in the exploration legion. His innate talent is very special, allowing him to see traces of the past.

Lu Xun further developed an extremely special innate spell called "Illusion Rewind" through his own talent.

He can recreate in the form of illusions what happened in a certain area.

Therefore, he gathered a lot of information and knew very well that the land in front of him should be the royal city of the Sunbeam Tribe, a city that was built quite magnificently.

But now,

"What about the royal city?"

Before them lay only city ruins. To call them ruins was an understatement; hardly any building remains were left, as if they had been devoured by something, replaced by black crystalline streaks piercing through the ground.

What destroyed the royal city of the Sunbeam tribe?

Not only was there no sign of life in these ruins, but there were also no strange corpses.

However, the unease and oppression that lingered in everyone's hearts were now even more intense.

"I'm afraid something is about to come out."

Shi An murmured.

At this moment, the greater the power, the more uneasy one feels, especially those who have reached the second stage of advancement and have already condensed a seed of the soul. Their souls are issuing a warning!

"It's out."

The center of the ruins continued to collapse, and then, it seemed as if a black sun was slowly rising.

This is an extremely viscous black fog.

The black mist dispersed in all directions in a wisp-like shape, revealing the figure enveloped within it.

It was a humanoid figure, which at first glance looked similar to the Sunbeam Eerie that the members had seen. However, behind this figure, a black sun wheel appeared, which was both noble and terrifying.

Its eyes opened, and they seemed to hold fire, the sky, and the deepest abyss!

A terrifying pressure suddenly swept out.

In an instant, the entire sky seemed to drop dozens of feet, and the dark clouds looked like a piece of land about to crash down.

The space felt thick and viscous, and my throat felt like it was being choked, making it hard to breathe.

Even within sight, countless bizarre creatures emerge, baring their fangs and claws, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

"This is a psychological shock! Don't look him in the eye!"

Li Feng opened his mouth.

Everyone present was a seasoned veteran, and they quickly realized this; no one stared blankly at them.

just,

"Is this a world ruler? But what level of existence is it exactly?"

They had never seen such terrifying pressure, as if there was a huge gap between their life levels.

Shi An squinted.

"Could it be... a Domain Lord level cultivator?"

"But is it really that easy to reach the Domain Lord realm?"

at this time,

Rihui's leadership consciousness is gradually awakening.

He slowly raised his hands, both surprised and wistful.

Surprisingly, he succeeded in his gamble on a chance to become a domain lord.

He experienced firsthand the power of a domain lord.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed completely.

He was now a genuine domain lord, but he had cleverly used the authority of a world lord to gain promotion.

His body and soul are like porcelain, but once the fuel of "Lord of the World" burns out, everything about him, his existence, will collapse and disappear completely.

His lifespan is already counting down.

"Reaching the Domain Lord realm is indeed not easy!"

"Even according to my original plan, after devouring enough humans in the present world, I can only enter the realm of a domain lord who has reached the ultimate level of sublimation, or at most, step into the pseudo-domain lord realm."

The leader of Sunrise finally understood why many leading figures and leaders of high-potential civilizations were also stuck at this hurdle.

Even those gifted civilizations that stand at the pinnacle of initial civilizations would find it almost impossible to produce a true domain lord within this "ten-year initial period".

but,

The leader of the Sunrise looked outside.

Based on his current level of cultivation and perception, he could count the powerful figures of the Blue Star civilization outside, and he could even see the solemnity or worry on the faces of many of them.

"Five hundred and sixty-seven Venerables at the Transformation Realm."

"They just fought a major battle with a force dominated by an advanced civilization not long ago, and they inevitably suffered losses on their way here, yet they still have several hundred Ascension Realm warriors left?"

"The Blue Star civilization is too terrifying, too powerful, too..."

"Admirable!"

If it were the Blue Star civilization, it might indeed be possible that a Domain Lord level expert would have emerged before the initial period.

It laid the foundation for civilization.

In comparison, their Sunrise Civilization has already lost, lost completely.

Even though he had wiped out all of Blue Star's main force here, only a few dozen direct descendants of the Sunbeam Tribe remained, and only a small portion of them were at the Ascension Realm.

The remaining members of their race were still insufficient to contend with the severely damaged Blue Star civilization.

Therefore, their Sunrise Civilization had no chance at all.

This place, these ruins of a royal city, is the last, and insignificant, trace of their civilization left in the boundless sea of ​​mist. Perhaps it can serve as a stepping stone, witnessing the rise of Earth.

but……

"but!"

The leader of the Sunshine Sect gradually turned bloodshot.

He wasn't that magnanimous; his magnanimity was reserved only for his own people.

Even if the Blue Star civilization might create a miracle for humanity in the future, for now, they are the enemy.

He lost.

Blue Star shouldn't even think about winning.

"boom!"

He reached out and grabbed it, then slapped it.

Outside the ruins, countless black crystalline objects immediately came to life, transforming into a terrifying black giant hand.

The powerful beings on Earth reacted quickly.

The twenty or thirty cultivators at the Transformation Realm immediately unleashed their full power, unleashing wave after wave of offensive spells, only to have them all vanish before the giant black hand in the next instant.

A giant black hand slammed down.

Figures were bleeding profusely in mid-air, their bodies twisted and contorted, covered in terrifying black flames.

With just one strike, these twenty-odd people at the Transformation Realm lost their ability to fight.

Furthermore, if the black flames on their bodies are not extinguished in time, many cultivators at the Transformation Realm will perish as a result.

The formidable vitality and terrifying regenerative ability of those at the Ascended Transformation Realm are insignificant compared to those at the higher Domain Lord Realm.

However, the powerful figures in the safe zone did not retreat. Dozens of those who were nearby, who had reached the Transformation Realm, made their moves one after another. At this moment, one after another, large black hands emerged from the ruins of the royal city.

boom!

A crimson rainbow descended from the sky; it was Blood.

His body was engulfed in holy flames, and his Breaking Boundary Fist was enhanced eightfold.

He manifested his final form, his entire body transforming into a massive, blood-red hand tens of meters long.

The giant hand descended from the sky.

"boom!!!"

The crimson and black giant hands collided one after another in mid-air, causing the surrounding space to crack and shatter.

Three moments later

"Crack! Bang!"

The giant black crystal hand shattered.

Xiao Xue manifested his imposing figure in mid-air, stepping on the Blood River, and still possessed an invincible presence even in front of a Domain Lord.

The next moment, more than a dozen giant hands came crashing down on him from all directions.

Little Blood: "???"

"It's probably indeed at the Domain Lord level."

Shi An's expression turned slightly serious.

At this moment, Xiao Xue, Zhuo Pu, and Ming Yi had all made their moves.

They had the ability to contend with the leaders of the Sunrise, but only barely.

Of course, this is already quite remarkable. Shi An had heard countless times that there was an insurmountable gap between the Great Perfection of the Ascension Realm and the Domain Lord. Even the top geniuses in advanced civilizations might not be able to overcome this major rank and defeat a Domain Lord.

Moreover, the generals had not yet reached the peak of the Ascension Realm.

Other members of the safe zone also took action. They didn't rush in recklessly, but instead disrupted the giant black hands from the outside, creating opportunities for the generals. With Xiao Xue and the other two holding the line, the other powerful individuals had ample room to maneuver and survive against the Domain Lord level.

The leaders of Rihui were repeatedly surprised.

"I admit that you are the most promising and resilient civilization I have ever seen."

"But today I will show you what it means to be a domain lord."

"Domain, appear!"

Sand and gravel, the ever-changing world.

What was once a desolate wasteland turned into a magnificent royal city in the blink of an eye.

The city walls stand tall, and white buildings stand on the ground, with one Sunshine Man after another walking among them.

This is the domain of the leader, Rihui.

He recreated the Sunrise Royal City! Even the "people" within the royal city.

These "people" are not true living beings; they have no intelligence and are merely puppet-like creatures.

However, from these "people", one after another, the aura of the Ascension Realm rose up.

Ten! One hundred! Two hundred! Three hundred!

They all came back to life.

They unleashed terrifying power.

"Are all of these strange phenomena at the Ascension Realm?"

"It's even at least comparable to a second-tier advancement in strangeness!"

"The lord of the Sunbeam Tribe, with a single thought, created so many bizarre phenomena? What kind of method is this?!"

Some people were terrified.

His teammates beside him grew increasingly somber. "Not only that, have you noticed? We've separated from the others. The buildings around us seem like spatial barriers we can't cross!"

In the hands of those at the Transformation Realm, mere buildings should be as fragile as building blocks; they could easily demolish one building after another.

At full power, it can even destroy a street.

However, at this moment, the cultivator who had just reached the Transformation Realm unleashed his full power only managed to crack the white clock tower wall in front of him.

It's just a crack.

He even sensed...

"Our bodies are getting heavier and heavier, and the flow of magical energy within our bodies is becoming increasingly sluggish."

Most members were unaware of the Domain Lord realm, but high-ranking experts like Zhu Chenying and Yunwu Shangren naturally knew about Domain Lords and Domains. However, this was their first time experiencing it.

The realm created hundreds of liters of bizarre and unpredictable changes;

Domains separate spaces;

An unspeakable pressure descended upon the domain!

"This is the Domain Lord!"

"Before the Domain Lord, we are both like children."

"Shopkeeper, are you capable of dealing with a Domain Lord level cultivator?"

Although the store manager had previously swiftly and decisively defeated the three powerful figures of the Entropy Civilization, his strength was so overwhelming that he seemed to be on a completely different level.

But rationally speaking, the store manager may not, no, is very likely not the domain owner.

How long has the store manager been training?

The ability to instantly kill a powerful member of the Entropy Civilization is likely some kind of explosive method.

What truly makes a domain lord powerful and unreasonable is their domain itself.

Can pure power contend with a domain?

they do not know.

They weren't sure.

They just saw...

A huge, pitch-black hand emerged.

"boom!!"

The massive hand actually slammed down on a shop in a safe zone that "does not exist" in the world.

The shops appeared, trembling and shaking.

"Found you, the most core wonder of the Blue Star civilization."

"I never imagined that I would need to rely on the domain of a lord, or even the authority of a world lord, to see the entrance to this wonder."

The entrances to the dozen or so safe zones covered by the domain were all marked by the Sunbeam Leader.

They were all forced to appear in the world.

"Notification: Conviction power is being consumed."

"Notification: Conviction power is being consumed."

"Sigh~"

Shi An sighed softly.

Is it true that a level four safe zone still can't withstand the attacks of a domain lord?

He snapped his fingers, and all the gates to the safe zone within the area disappeared.

Lord Sunbeam paused for a moment, then his gaze fell on Shi An.

An endless malice, coldness, and oppressive force descended.

Like a mountain! Like a boundary!

"The store manager is about to make a move."

Pairs of eyes were fixed on them.

Anticipation, tension, and worry.

But Shi An did not make a move.

"It's up to you, Lifeng."

Just as the leader of the Sunrise appeared in front of Shi An, a figure passed by.

Li Feng, who had not made a move until now, was holding something in his hand.

"Fair Battle Arena!"

Anchored targets: Lifeng and Rihui leaders.

The duel begins!

The entire area disappeared.

The two figures were captured into a deeper, independent space.

This is the dueling arena, an absolutely fair dueling arena.

at this time,

Two figures appeared inside the arena.

On one side is Lifeng, on the other is Rihui, the leader.

The domain opened by the leader of the Sunrise was also drawn into this duel arena, but the next moment...

"Fairness is necessary in all aspects of life."

The domain dissipated, and the realm of the Sun Radiance Lord, the status of the Lord, and all its characteristics vanished.

He fell to the initial stage of the third level of advancement.

His physical strength, magical power, spirit, and vitality have all greatly declined.

"Physical fitness assessment in progress..."

"Mental health assessment in progress..."

"In the determination of ultimate techniques, fairness is required."

His profound power, which he had studied for several years, suddenly plummeted.

"The fair judgment is complete."

next moment,

With far greater strength and faster speed than him, Li Feng cut down the leader of Rihui from the sky.

A fair duel has begun.
