The Blood God Child's attack did not stop after Lu Yan'an was repelled, but unlike before, the failure of the first attack made him realize the extent of this guy's mastery of the Origin Law of Light! He withdrew the World Energy in his attack and instead unleashed his own domain. Suddenly, the Blood God Child's body paused, and his expression changed slightly as he looked at Lu Yan'an with a strange gaze.

"You can evade attacks from the World Energy by creating Phantom Body using the Origin Law of Light. But within this Law Domain, all your tricks will be useless! What methods do you have?" The Blood God Child's hoarse voice rang in Lu Yan'an's ears, "To be able to utilize the Origin Law to this extent at the Domain Rank! I must say, you are excellent."

"Then today I'll teach you how to use your domain effectively as a Domain Rank expert!" As soon as he finished speaking, Blood God Child's domain instantly enveloped Lu Yan'an, and the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers were also shrouded in blood. At this moment, he was like Deity within this domain, manipulating two ice crystals to attack Lu Yan'an once again.

Lu Yan'an felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, all his movements restricted, even more so than when he faced the World Energy. "Clang! Clang!" The ice crystals and the longsword clashed incessantly. This time, the ice crystals manipulated by the Blood God Child did not contain the World Energy, so Lu Yan'an's defense was not as difficult as before.

"Unleash your domain!" Blood God Child suddenly roared. Lu Yan'an was startled upon hearing this. But he quickly recovered and a surge of domain power erupted from his body, colliding with the surrounding crimson domain. But something incredibly strange suddenly happened: Lu Yan'an's domain was like paper, completely crushed by the surrounding crimson domain!

"That's not how you use a domain!" The surrounding crimson color suddenly began to shrink, and in the next moment, Lu Yan'an's domain was actually forced back into his own body!

"A domain is the prototype of a world, but that doesn't mean a domain must be inferior to a world! The extension of laws can exist within all things in the world, and naturally, a domain is no exception!" Blood God Child's voice was extremely dry, like the dryness of someone who hadn't spoken for years suddenly opening their mouth, but the insightful meaning in his words was incredibly clear.

"Try to find that point of convergence, to merge the laws with the domain." Suddenly, the crimson domain transformed into a cage, completely enveloping Lu Yan'an. "If you can walk out of this Domain Cage alive, then you will have officially passed your master's test!"

After finishing his speech, Blood God Child did not launch any further attacks, but simply stood there silently.

At this moment, Lu Yan'an, inside the Domain Cage, felt a suffocating pressure pressing down on him from all directions, and this pressure was constantly increasing over time.

"Domain? Law? Fusion?" Lu Yan'an thought, somewhat confused. "Fusing laws and domains? Isn't that the trump card that Aike showed Genius Tournament back then?"

By combining his profound understanding of the 'Origin Law of Earth' with his superficial understanding of the 'Law of Space', Aike's domain, once released, creates a sense of spatial solidification! Moreover, this method of perfectly fusing domain and law indirectly strengthens his defense against the 'Origin Law of Earth'!

This Law Domain and Aike's ideas share a similar essence. Feeling the increasing pressure of the Domain Cage, Lu Yan'an realized that his time was running out. He silently recalled the details of using the crimson domain, as well as how Aike used it in the Genius Tournament. In an instant, an inspiration flashed through his mind like lightning.

The next moment, a nascent domain power emanated from Lu Yan'an's body. Unlike the skillful and vast range he had displayed when he first unleashed his domain, this time Lu Yan'an's domain was full of vitality, and its range was only within half a meter around him. But the only difference was that this domain was enhanced by the Origin Law of Light!

The newly formed golden Law Domain radiated a soft Radiance, like the first ray of light before dawn, piercing through the darkness. The crimson domain and the golden domain collided, but unlike the previous weak and easily crumbled domain, this one was empowered by the power of the laws. The domain underwent a transformative change, and for the first time, the binding force of the law cage was neutralized by the power of the golden domain.

"It seems you've mastered it!" Blood God Child's hoarse voice rang out again. The next moment, the blood-red Domain Cage vanished, and Blood Venerable Gan Qi's figure returned to the field.

"You're quite impressive. With the strength of a peak Domain Rank expert, you've actually managed to comprehend the power of the Law Domain in such a short time. It seems I wasn't wrong about you! Hahahaha!" It was still that slightly manic laugh, but the killing intent that had been attached to his smile before was gone.

"At the peak of the Domain Rank, you've achieved such a high level in the laws, and even broken through the huge gap between 'Domain Rank' and 'World Rank,' barely able to contend with my Blood God Child. You're excellent!" Blood Venerable Gan Qi said slowly in mid-air. At this moment, although his voice was still loud and cold, it had completely lost its madness. "You've even managed to comprehend the key points of Domain and Law in such a short time. I admire you!"

You now have two paths to choose from!

"First, become my disciple! In this Xueluo World, you will be showered with glory!"

"Secondly, disobeying me and defying me means death!"

Blood Venerable Gan Qi's actions truly baffled Lu Yan'an. Is this how you take on disciples? First, send a subordinate to teach him a lesson, then pop up at the opportune moment to assert your presence. Is this some low-budget version of "slap and then reward"?

He was to become a disciple of an immortal native of the Xueluo World, a genius at the Domain Lord level in an Original Secret Realm of a Virtual Universe, and this immortal seemed to have a serious mental illness.

"Disciple, or death!" Blood Venerable looked down at Lu Yan'an, "I'll give you ten breaths to make your choice!"

"Ten!"

Blood Venerable's eyes were completely blood-red, concealing mountains of corpses and seas of blood. An incomparably terrifying killing intent was frantically brewing as the countdown ended. Although there seemed to be no further action at the moment, Lu Yan'an understood that once he turned on him, it would be with swift and decisive force!

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

As the countdown continued, the murderous aura around him trembled, and Lu Yan'an suddenly felt a suffocating pressure bearing down on him. The Blood Venerable's killing intent grew stronger and stronger. Lu Yan'an had no doubt that if he did not agree to become his disciple in the end, the other party would kill him instantly. Because from the other party's extremely obvious will, it was clear that this was a capricious and powerful person, extremely arrogant and confident, and intolerant of anyone's disobedience.

"Three!" The voice grew even colder, and a chilling light flickered in the Blood Venerable's eyes.

"This Blood Venerable must have his own plans to take me as his disciple. Now I have two choices. The first is to sacrifice this Earthling Main Body and use the last Fire God Source Crystal to perish together with him, but this requires maintaining a considerable distance! If I manage the distance well, I can complete this additional task without damaging the Original Core!"

"The second option is to temporarily submit! Because this guy must have some schemes against me, otherwise, given his unpredictable temper, he would have attacked me long ago. The advantage of this option is that my life is not in immediate danger, and I can also preserve my trump cards!"

In an instant, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Lu Yan'an's mind.

"Teacher!"

Lu Yan'an bowed slightly, using the most standard disciple etiquette popular in the Xueluo Continent, and said respectfully.

Suddenly, a maniacal smile appeared on the face of Blood Venerable Gan Qi in mid-air. He glanced at Lu Yan'an with satisfaction. "Very good. Your talent ranks among the top three of my many disciples, and you know how to seize the moment! I like people who know how to seize the moment the most, hahahaha!"

Lu Yan'an noticed the Blood God Child's gaze directed at him; it was a complex look, tinged with... pity?
