The people within the Demon Domain were filled with despair and fear; their spirits had completely collapsed under the weight of their suffering.
This granted Shen Hao a massive amount of Fear Points, allowing his Demon Domain to repel the god's power and continue expanding.
Moments later, the Demon Domain once again covered dozens of cities, causing Shen Hao's Fear Points to rise rapidly.
Wherever the Demon Domain extends, hellish scenes appear, where people wail in despair, seeing not a glimmer of hope.
Now, Shen Hao understood the difference between his power and that of the deity.
The power of God comes from faith; this power is acquired relatively slowly, but it can be obtained continuously.
The power of Demons comes from people's fear and despair; this power is acquired quickly but cannot be sustained.
In extreme fear, a person's mind can break down, and they may even die; it's like draining a pond to catch all the fish.
But it is precisely this difference in the acquisition of power that gives him hope of defeating that otherworldly deity.
That's why he dared to refuse the opportunity to become a god.
In their current exchange, Shen Hao has temporarily gained the upper hand; his Demon Domain is expanding, while the area controlled by that god is shrinking.
But at that moment, his rate of gaining Fear Points decreased again.
Because the first people to enter the Demon Domain had already suffered mental breakdowns, either choosing suicide or going insane, these people would no longer generate Fear Points for him.
This is the flaw of Demon power: fear is unsustainable.
However, this wasn't a big problem for Shen Hao, as he could now shrink the Demon Domain.
He removed those areas that no longer Fear Points in him from the Demon Domain.
In this way, his energy expenditure will decrease, and the speed at which he gains Fear Points will increase.
The Demon Domain continues to expand into new areas where the inhabitants have yet to experience the horrors of hell, and they will contribute a great deal of Fear Points to the Demons.
A few hours later, Shen Hao's Fear Points had reached 30 million points, which made Shen Hao feel extremely excited.
However, this world is still very large, and his Demon Domain covers less than one percent of it. If he continues, he can gain even more Fear Points.
But that deity would no longer give him such an opportunity, because if the Demon were allowed to grow unchecked, He might indeed lose.
After all, He is Outer God, not belonging to this world, and has not yet mastered the Supreme Laws of this world. He can draw very little power from the people of this world.
The Demon Domain was finally breached by Him, and the power belonging to that deity entered the Demon realm.
As soon as He appeared, the eerie and evil aura within the Demon Domain quickly dissipated, and the area was filled with a holy and luminous atmosphere.
"This game is over!" His voice echoed in Shen Hao's ears.
Shen Hao wasn't surprised that the god had forcibly entered the Demon Domain; there was indeed a difference in power between them, and it wasn't a small one.
As long as the other party is willing to spend the time, breaking through his Demon Domain will not be a problem.
"Now, even if you want to submit to me, it's too late! You must die!"
"It's because you felt threatened by me! You thought I might kill you."
The god did not speak again; instead, a large hand responded to Shen Hao.
A giant hand appeared in the sky and reached out to grab Shen Hao.
At the same time, Shen Hao's body was also restricted by a powerful force, and he couldn't even move.
The hand instantly appeared beside Shen Hao, gripping Shen Hao tightly in its palm.
"Go to hell!"
An immense pressure enveloped Shen Hao; in just a moment, he would be crushed to pieces by this force.
But at that moment, the deity suddenly released his hand, for he sensed that the power in that hand was rapidly dissipating.
The power in that palm was being frantically absorbed by something, and in just a moment, the palm shrank by a size.
In this situation, He had no choice but to quickly stop.
With the hand gone, Shen Hao's crisis was over, and his body regained its freedom.
The deity's voice echoed from the sky once more, "Indeed, you are worthy to be my opponent, but now, I'm going to get serious!"
Shen Hao said, "Don't try to save face for yourself. You were serious all along. There's no way you could kill me in a short time."
The gap between us is not that large yet.
You think killing me in my territory is so easy?
After Shen Hao finished speaking, his body disappeared from the spot and reappeared at the edge of the Demon Domain a moment later.
In the Demon Domain, he can travel to any place instantly, and no one can stop him.
He reclaimed the Demon Domain, then released it again.
The Demon Domain expanded once more from his center, and those enveloped by Demon Domain screamed in terror, causing his Fear Points to surge again.
The moment he sensed the power of that deity approaching, he changed locations again, appearing in another place, and continued to harvest Fear Points using the same method.
This gave the deity quite a headache. After several attempts, Shen Hao's Fear Points increased by more than ten million again, but the deity still couldn't kill him.
Even God was not immune to anger at this moment.
His power enveloped Shen Hao, tearing through space and taking him, along with the Demon Domain, to another world.
There were no living people, nothing, not even air in this world.
There is only endless darkness here.
"This is the space I created. There's nothing here. Now you can no longer draw power from those humans, so this is your death day!"
The voice of God appeared in Shen Hao's ears once again.
Having been brought here, Shen Hao was indeed no longer able to draw upon the power of those humans.
Without humans constantly providing him with Fear Points, he simply cannot defeat this deity.
At this moment, everything in the space was frozen, even time had almost stopped, and endless pressure came from all directions, threatening to crush his body into pieces.
Even though Shen Hao's body was already extremely powerful, it still suffered damage. He could only constantly use Demon Power to repair his body and reshape his organs, barely managing to keep himself from dying.
He knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die.
Shen Hao's left eye tried to find the "death" of that deity, but he couldn't, because he had never truly seen that deity from beginning to end.
But the space created by that god contained "death." He finally saw it, and gently touched the weakest point with his hand. The space created by the god immediately collapsed.
He has now returned to his original world. The Demon Domain still covers dozens of cities, and he continues to accumulate Fear Points.
Shen Hao's actions not only gain him Fear Points, but also undermine people's faith in that deity.
The more the people of this world worship that deity, the weaker that deity's power will become; this is the key to his victory.
Now, he has accumulated enough Fear Points to retaliate.
He doesn't act unless absolutely necessary, but once he does, his counterattack is absolutely fatal.
This time, the Demon Domain spread far faster than ever before. Shen Hao no longer cared about the consumption of Fear Points, nor how many Fear Points he could gain.
He only wanted to expand the Demon Domain to cover more areas, so that everyone could experience the terror of hell.
