A Crushing Defeat

After killing a Domain Lord level sixth order enemy, Wang Cheng's confidence soared. Without hesitation, he swept his gaze across the battlefield and began searching for his next opponent.

But Wang Cheng had only been searching for a moment when, in the next instant, he turned his head in disbelief and looked toward the center of the battlefield.

At that moment, he sensed the aura of their Human Race's Meteor General rapidly fading. Of the two World Lords whose auras had both been imposing, it seemed only one remained.

Worse still, the one left standing was the Iron Wing Clan's World Lord!

"The Human Race World Lord is dead! Surrender, or die!"

The voice rang across the entire battlefield, bringing everything to an instant standstill. Then the Iron Wing Clan warriors' morale soared, while the Human Race forces' spirits plummeted.

Almost everyone had lost the will to keep fighting. They understood that they had already lost this chance encounter. Now, the most important thing was figuring out how to stay alive!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A shadow too swift to make out darted across the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, the few Domain Lord level ninth order warriors on the Human Race side burst into clouds of blood.

Clearly, the Iron Wing Clan's World Lord had made his move!

However, he only targeted Domain Lord level ninth order warriors. He evidently had no interest in attacking the weaker ones. Even so, with all their Domain Lord level ninth order warriors suddenly dead, the Human Race forces began to collapse.

"This..."

The sudden reversal of the situation left Wang Cheng stunned. At last, he understood why the death rate among Cosmic level and Domain Lord level warriors was so high on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

At least a World Lord could decide whether he would die. But Cosmic level and Domain Lord level warriors had no say at all in whether they lived or died!

With the World Lord commanding them dead, how many of the remaining Cosmic level and Domain Lord level warriors could survive?

"I've only just realized this, so it doesn't really affect me. But everyone else..." Wang Cheng looked at the fleeing Human Race soldiers around him, his heart heavy.

They had fought alongside one another, after all. He couldn't just stand by and watch them all die.

But although Wang Cheng was no ordinary Cosmic level first order warrior, he was still only Cosmic level first order. The gap between a World Lord and a Cosmic level warrior was millions of times greater in basic physical strength alone. No matter how defiant the heavens his comprehension might be, he could never hope to match a World Lord!

"I'll do what I can. Man proposes, Heaven disposes!" Wang Cheng made up his mind.

Wang Cheng surveyed the battlefield. The disadvantage of having lost all their Human Race Domain Lord level ninth order warriors was now becoming clear.

Several Iron Wing Clan Domain Lord level ninth order warriors had joined forces to hunt down Human Race warriors at Domain Lord level seventh and eighth order. The other Human Race soldiers were either being pursued by High-level Iron Wing Tribe warriors or surrounded and beaten down by groups of Iron Wing Clan warriors.

The battlefield was in complete chaos, but one thing was clear: if things continued like this, not a single Human Race warrior would escape!

"Moxiso!"

Wang Cheng spotted Moxiso and his group. They were being chased by an Iron Wing Clan warrior at Domain Lord level first or second order. Their team had started with more than ten people, but now only seven or eight remained.

Whoosh!

Without a moment's hesitation, Wang Cheng charged over at full speed.

"Iron Wing Clan!"

Wang Cheng roared as he attacked the Domain Lord pursuing Moxiso's group.

"So fast!"

The Domain Lord saw Wang Cheng and was instantly shocked. Without hesitation, he called for reinforcements.

Unlike the Iron Wing Clan Domain Lord who had died earlier, the Iron Wing Clan forces had plenty of warriors to spare now. The moment this Domain Lord called for help, numerous Domain Lords responded.

One of them was even at Domain Lord level eighth order!

Unfortunately, reinforcements needed time to arrive, and Wang Cheng was already closing in on the Domain Lord.

With no other choice, the Domain Lord stopped to prepare for battle.

"I just need to hold him off for thirty seconds!" the Domain Lord calculated. But in the next instant, his eyes flew wide open.

The Wang Cheng coming after him wasn't alone. At some point, he had become a hundred or more!

Every one of the hundred or more Wang Chengs seemed real, making it impossible for the Domain Lord to tell which was genuine!

"Is this... the Space Origin Law?!"

The thought flashed through the Domain Lord's mind. By then, Wang Cheng had already closed in.

In his panic, the Domain Lord attacked Wang Cheng's figures wildly, but every one of his attacks hit an illusion.

Then a sharp claw descended from above and split his head open.

The Domain Lord's Life Core wasn't in his head, but with his head shattered, his reactions immediately slowed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Wang Cheng unleashed a flurry of attacks and soon killed the Domain Lord outright!

Wang Cheng had killed the Domain Lord in an instant. Only then did Moxiso and the others, who had been fleeing from him, react.

"Brother Xin!" Moxiso looked at Wang Cheng in delighted surprise.

"You guys go first!" Wang Cheng said without hesitation.

"You're not coming with us?" Moxiso asked.

"..."

Wang Cheng didn't answer. He charged straight ahead, where two Domain Lords were rapidly approaching. They were clearly the reinforcements summoned by the Domain Lord who had just died.

"Brother Moxiso, what should we do?" The remaining Cosmic level warriors looked at Wang Cheng charging toward the enemy, hardly able to believe what they were seeing. They had only just met him, yet he was willing to hold off the enemy for them.

"What incredible loyalty!" A man with a single scale on his face was so moved that he immediately tried to follow Wang Cheng into battle.

But he had barely taken off when Moxiso grabbed him!

"Idiot! If you go help, will you be able to do even the slightest bit for Brother Xin?" Moxiso snapped. Then he continued, "Whatever happens, there's no turning things around now. Don't let Brother Xin's kindness go to waste!"

"So we're just going to leave?" the scaled man asked.

"I'll stop you once. If you don't want to leave, go ahead and get yourself killed. If you want to live, follow me!" Moxiso said no more. He immediately flew at full speed toward the edge of the battlefield.

In truth, although Wang Cheng had blocked the Domain Lord who was pursuing them, whether a handful of Cosmic level warriors could escape was still uncertain.

They were flying away now only because they were gambling on that slim chance of survival!

Wang Cheng didn't know whether these Cosmic level warriors would ultimately escape. All he could do was give everything he had.

At that moment, Wang Cheng and the two Domain Lords coming to reinforce their comrade charged toward each other. They soon met.

As soon as the fight began, Wang Cheng held nothing back. He immediately used his two secret techniques, Eternal Void and Ten Thousand Lines Flow.

"So it really is the Space Origin Law!"

The two Domain Lords saw Wang Cheng instantly split into more than a hundred Avatars, and their expressions grew grave. They had been too far away to see clearly when their comrade was killed, but now that they had seen Wang Cheng create so many Avatars up close, they had no more doubts.

This was definitely the Space Origin Law!

"General, I've found a Human Race warrior who has mastered the Space Origin Law!" One of the Domain Lords immediately reported the discovery to the general of the Iron Wing Clan army—the sole World Lord in the force.
