Deep within Flag Mountain.
In the blink of an eye.
Half a year had passed.
Within a valley blanketed in ice and snow.
Roar!
A dragon's roar that seemed to pierce heaven and earth shattered the snowflakes drifting through the sky.
Sound waves surged outward like raging billows, triggering a series of rumbling snow avalanches.
Immediately afterward.
An enormous figure soared into the sky.
Its wings stretched over a hundred meters wide, its entire body covered in crystalline ice-blue scales.
Every scale was sculpted from the hardest frost, reflecting chilling rays beneath the sunlight.
It was Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai wheeled freely through the air.
Its long dragon tail was raised high, its eyes filled with wild delight and an arrogance that looked down upon the world.
Vast dragon might erupted without restraint, making the Flagrant Beasts within a hundred miles tremble in fear, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"I... I've become a Saint Domain being!"
Xiao Bai opened and closed its massive dragon jaws, roaring out thunderous human speech.
Although the words were somewhat stiff, carrying the grinding sensation of metal scraping together and even a slight lisp.
The smug delight in its tone could not be concealed.
"Master, look!"
"I can speak too!"
Xiao Bai swooped down, stirring up a violent gust.
On the ground.
Lei Wen sat leisurely atop a flattened boulder.
A bonfire burned before him, with an unidentified magical beast's thigh roasting on a rack.
Facing the swooping Icefrost Giant Dragon.
Lei Wen did not even blink, merely turning the roasting rack at an unhurried pace.
"You're full of yourself."
Lei Wen calmly uttered three words.
His voice was not loud, yet it clearly pierced through the gale and reached the giant dragon's ears.
Xiao Bai, who had been proudly twisting and turning in the air, eager to show off, suddenly froze.
Its enormous body nearly plummeted from the air, landing in a rather aggrieved manner.
Its huge dragon claws stepped onto the snow, producing a soft crunch.
"Master!"
"Give me some face!"
"I'm a Saint Domain Flagrant Beast now!"
"Throughout the entire Magic Beast Mountain Range, aside from those few old immortals, I'm an absolute expert!"
Xiao Bai brought its enormous dragon head close to Lei Wen's face.
Its huge eyes blinked, looking as though it were waiting to be praised.
"Saint Domain?"
"Very impressive."
Lei Wen glanced at Xiao Bai, his expression as calm as water.
Having said that.
He sprinkled some seasoning over the roast meat, and its fragrance assailed their noses.
Xiao Bai snorted.
If anyone else had dared to speak to it like that.
It would have slapped them away with a single dragon claw and taught them how to behave.
But that fragrance before its eyes...
Xiao Bai swallowed.
Over the past half year.
It had watched its master eat those Saint Domain magical beasts like ordinary meals.
"Ahem..."
"Compared to you, Master, I'm naturally still far behind."
"But I've improved a lot too!"
"Really! I think I can take on ten of my former selves now!"
Xiao Bai wagged its tail proudly, sweeping up a large patch of snow.
To prove itself.
Xiao Bai suddenly opened its huge jaws.
Whoosh—
A bone-chilling frost breath burst forth, shooting directly toward a hundred-meter-tall hill in the distance.
Crack, crack!
The hill was instantly covered in azure ice crystals, transforming into a crystalline iceberg.
That power was more than ten times stronger than when it had been at the Nine Peaks!
"How is it?"
"Impressive, right?"
Xiao Bai turned its dragon head proudly.
Lei Wen tore off a piece of roasted meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed without speaking.
He casually picked up a stone from the ground.
There was not the slightest fluctuation of Spirit Qi.
Pure physical strength erupted.
He flicked his finger.
Whoosh!
The stone vanished from its original spot, leaving only a scorched vacuum trail in the air.
Boom!
The iceberg that had just been frozen solid exploded violently.
Not shattered.
Pulverized!
The entire iceberg instantly turned into countless tiny ice fragments, scattering across the sky like a blizzard.
Xiao Bai's mouth fell open, its jaw nearly hitting the ground.
That was the full-force Saint Domain Frost Dragon Breath it had unleashed!
Its hardness was comparable to refined steel!
Yet it had been erased by a mere broken stone...
"Not bad, I suppose."
Lei Wen dusted the ashes from his hands, his tone utterly calm.
Xiao Bai immediately lowered its enormous dragon head, like a puppy that had done something wrong.
It was feeling rather bitter inside.
How could a human possibly possess such terrifying physical strength?
Lei Wen was even more monstrous than a Giant Dragon.
Lei Wen rose to his feet and stretched. His bones crackled like popping beans.
The sensation of power overflowing with bone-chilling force made him feel incomparably grounded.
Half a year.
During these six months.
Lei Wen had been feasting to his heart's content.
Ever since he had obtained the ability to devour Saint Domain Flagrant Beasts, he had completely transformed into the nightmare of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
Especially for fire-affinity and water-affinity beasts.
With every one he devoured, his comprehension of the corresponding laws deepened further.
The pleasure of continuously gaining law fragments made Lei Wen unable to stop.
And after half a year of frenzied devouring, his gains had been remarkable.
Physical strength: peak Saint Domain.
Spirit Qi reserves: peak Saint Domain.
Those were merely the basics.
Lei Wen's greatest gains lay in his comprehension of the profound laws.
In terms of water affinity.
Lei Wen had successfully comprehended "Water Element" and "Ice Blade."
"Water Element" was the most basic low-level profound law of water affinity.
"Ice Blade," meanwhile, was a high-level profound law with powerful offensive capabilities among water-affinity laws.
As for fire affinity.
Besides the "Fire Element" he had comprehended long ago.
Lei Wen had also comprehended the high-level fire-affinity profound law, "Flame Void."
It was precisely because of this.
Although none of Lei Wen's individual profound laws had reached the Saint Domain limit.
His true combat power had already crossed into the fourth level of the Saint Domain—Saint Domain limit!
Other than those divine-level experts.
None of the remaining Saint Domain experts, including the four great imperial Saint Domain experts, could face Lei Wen head-on.
"Are you full?"
After a moment.
Lei Wen stood up, looking at Xiao Bai as he asked.
"I'm full, I'm full!"
"I just ate half an Earth Bear. I'm stuffed to death."
Hearing Lei Wen's question.
Xiao Bai nodded repeatedly, a look of satisfaction appearing on its face.
"Since you're full, let's go."
Lei Wen waved his hand and extinguished the bonfire, his gaze turning into the distance.
"Go?"
"Where?"
"To find that Flame Princess and settle the score."
"Master, then let's hurry! I've disliked her for a long time!"
Xiao Bai was initially stunned, then became excited.
Now that it was a Saint Domain Flagrant Beast, it naturally wanted to show off.
"Can't find her."
Lei Wen sighed, spreading his hands helplessly.
"Huh?"
Xiao Bai stared blankly.
"That woman ran away more than half a month ago."
Lei Wen sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
Ever since he had begun his rampage deep in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, the place had become quiet.
Those Saint Domain Flagrant Beasts that had once stood high above all others and considered themselves unmatched now fled faster than rabbits.
Especially the fire-affinity and water-affinity ones.
The moment they smelled Lei Wen's scent, they would abandon even their nests and flee with their families.
A few days ago.
Lei Wen had finally found the old nest of that Flame Princess.
In the end.
There was not even a single hair left inside.
She had even been so ruthless as to collapse the entire cave before fleeing.
She was practically a paranoid maniac.
