This was a space of near-pure blackness.
Black mist filled every corner of the space. Anything slightly farther away was impossible to see clearly, layers upon layers of gloom overlapping one another.
"...So you finally decided to unfold your domain?"
After glancing around at the surrounding environment, Aster slowly sat up from the ground and unhurriedly brushed at the dust that did not actually exist on his clothes.
Black flames still blazed across his body, but they could no longer harm him. Moreover, with that small motion of patting himself down, the ever-burning black flames were gradually going out.
"Sure enough, this is the only state that truly intoxicates me..."
After closing his eyes and briefly sensing the condition of his body, Aster spread his hands and looked overhead, letting out a satisfied sigh.
He would not die, nor would his mind collapse. At the same time, due to the Infinite Adaptation state brought about by the stacking of identities, he would only grow stronger with time.
—He might not be invincible in this state, but in practice, he was not far from it.
"Invincible? I admit that you are indeed rather troublesome in this state, but calling yourself invincible is giving yourself far too much credit. From the moment you stepped into my domain, I never intended to let you leave."
As that voice rang out, Bai Zhi silently appeared directly in front of Aster.
Looking at Aster as the black flames on his body gradually faded, Bai Zhi held out five fingers before him and spoke solemnly, as if declaring an established fact.
"From this moment onward, you have only five minutes left to live."
"Five minutes... What, are you planning to deal with me within five minutes? Is this meaningless domain skill your source of confidence?"
