"The alien squad belongs to the Pixui Beast faction of the Monster Race. Prepare for battle!"

Dongluo's voice rang in everyone's ears, and immediately, astonishing fluctuations arrived from the high altitude in the distance. Clearly, the Immortals from both sides had already begun to clash.

In the valley ahead, an army composed of tens of thousands of monster beasts appeared before them. The Pixui Beast race resembled lions, but they were far larger than any lion, and they grew horns on their heads—some had one, some two, and others three.

Tan Youming's memories contained data on this race, and Bai Muye quickly transmitted his voice: "The Pixui Beast race ranges from tens to hundreds of meters in size; the larger they are, the stronger they are. Universe Rank have one horn, Domain Lord Rank have two, and World Lord Rank have three. Their horns naturally possess law secret patterns—some are fire, some are lightning, and so on..."

"Although they are large, they aren't slow, so be especially careful of their tails..." Zhan Qiu glanced at Bai Muye with some surprise and added.

Soon, the two sides collided. Despite the massive difference in size, the human side did not fall at a disadvantage.

The World Lord Rank fighters from both sides tacitly moved to the higher altitudes to slaughter one another, leaving the low altitude and the ground to the Domain Lord and Universe Rank fighters.

Bai Muye and Zhan Qiu stood side by side at the very front of their squad, meeting the incoming monster beasts.

"Captain, I'll hold off the enemy's Domain Lords; how about you clear out the Universe Rank?" Bai Muye transmitted.

"Fine." Zhan Qiu nodded, then added, "Don't push yourself. If you can't hold them, call me immediately..."

"Don't worry, Captain."

Bai Muye's domain expanded forward in a fan shape. After reaching the Domain Lord Rank, the power of his Mixed Domain was dozens of times greater than it had been at the Universe Rank.

As his domain expanded and clashed with the opposing domains, it immediately suppressed dozens of the Pixui Beast monsters, causing their movements to lag as if they were trapped in a quagmire.

The speed of Universe Rank fighters was already extremely fast, let alone Domain Lords, so as the two armies approached, both sides spontaneously spread out to avoid being surrounded.

Wielding his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, Bai Muye met an exceptionally sturdy monster beast. From several thousand meters away, the two horns on its head fired a wind blade and a bolt of lightning respectively.

The lightning was incredibly fast, reaching him in an instant. Bai Muye flicked his spear blade to disperse the lightning, then swung it in one motion to shatter the wind blade.

Through these two attacks, Bai Muye felt confident; this Pixui Beast was likely between the seventh and eighth stage of the Domain Lord Rank—a fight he could handle.

The distance of several thousand meters vanished in an instant. Bai Muye injected his origin energy and swung his hand. A spear light flew from the tip, rapidly growing and lengthening in the air. The dozens-of-meters-long, sharp spear light shone with a dazzling white glow, piercing through the domain and slashing toward the beast's house-sized head.

"Roar~"

The Pixui Beast shook its head and flicked its two horns, knocking the spear light away. The deflected spear light lost none of its momentum and shot toward the rear, slicing a Universe Rank Pixui Beast in half.

The Pixui Beast was enraged. It kicked its four hooves in the air, centered itself on the sharp horns on its head, and straightened its tail, turning its entire body into a long spear as it lunged at Bai Muye.

Using its body as a spear!

This spear technique was quite profound. If Bai Muye dodged, his teammates behind him would likely suffer.

With a soft grunt, Bai Muye retracted the power of his domain, concentrating it on this Domain Lord Rank Pixui Beast, which immediately slowed its speed by a beat.

After breaking through to the Domain Lord Rank, his comprehension of domains had reached a new level, finally allowing him to fully integrate the water and fire domains he had previously failed to merge.

With eight types of domains fully integrated, Bai Muye felt his domain was now unrivaled among the Domain Lord Rank.

As his full-power domain enveloped the Pixui Beast, it instantly shattered the eight layers of domain around the creature. The overlapping layers seemed to transform into a nearly transparent Domain Rope, shrouding it.

Although the "Pixui Spear" eventually broke through the encirclement, its speed had already dropped to a level that even a Universe Rank could easily handle, and its power had been reduced by ninety percent by the Domain Rope.

Bai Muye thrust his spear. He had originally aimed for the space between the Pixui Beast's two horns, but at the last moment, the beast blocked it with its horns.

A sound like clashing metal rang out, and the entire Pixui Beast was sent flying backward by the force of the strike. Bai Muye gave chase, thrusting his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear forward.

This time, the Pixui Beast couldn't fully dodge, and the tip of the blade pierced its skull.

"Awoo~"

The Pixui Beast let out an angry roar. Although the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear was a fifth-tier weapon, Bai Muye was only at the first stage of the Domain Lord Rank and could not perfectly unleash the weapon's power. The tip only pierced the beast's outer skin and stuck into its skull.

The external injury wasn't very severe, but the waves of force transmitted from the blade tip penetrated straight into its brain.

Although a Domain Lord's soul resided within a singularity and could survive a headshot, the waves of force flooding its brain still caused the Pixui Beast's sea of consciousness to tremble, leaving the beast staggering as if it were drunk.

Bai Muye pressed his advantage, his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear attacking incessantly—sometimes as a spear, sometimes as a halberd, sometimes as a staff, and sometimes as a blade...

Wave after wave of attacks landed on the Pixui Beast, leaving shocking wounds and spraying beast blood everywhere.

But the Pixui Beast was worthy of being an eighth-stage Domain Lord; its body was extremely tough, and the Monster Race placed great importance on their physical forms. Even with its sea of consciousness trembling, it gave up on attacking, tensing its muscles and bones to greatly increase its physical defense, and instinctively dodged several fatal blows.

When it finally recovered from the tremors, it was horrified to find that there was hardly an intact spot on its massive body, and its two front hooves were wounded to the bone, nearly rendered useless.

"Roar~"

It let out another roar, but this time it wasn't an attack; instead, it turned and fled.

Bai Muye extended his left hand, and various lights flashed within his domain, instantly condensing into a rope that coiled toward the Pixui Beast's neck.

Sensing the fatal crisis of the Domain Rope, the Pixui Beast was forced to tilt its head to dodge, but in doing so, its speed inevitably slowed for a split second.

Bai Muye flashed forward, closing the distance to its side.

A fierce glint flashed in the Pixui Beast's eyes. It lowered its head and kicked its two hind hooves backward—Mountain-Kicking Backflip!

This was its ultimate move; not only was the power immense, but the speed was also incredibly fast.

Fortunately, Bai Muye had held back some strength, and he leaned his upper body back, dodging by a hair's breadth.

"Swish!"

Before the Pixui Beast's hind hooves had even landed, the long tail that had been hanging between its legs suddenly whipped up, lashing toward Bai Muye's head with a speed even faster and more vicious than the Mountain-Kicking Backflip!

Bai Muye no longer had time to dodge. At the critical moment, he splayed the fingers of his left hand, and the Domain Rope from before instantly retracted, spreading out from his palm to form a Domain Shield that blocked the front of his head.

This was also an ability Bai Muye had only comprehended after stepping into the Domain Lord Rank, far more versatile than his previous method of only being able to manifest his domain as a whip.

With a dull thud, the Domain Shield was shattered by the strike, but that long tail was also sent recoiling backward from the impact.

Having exhausted its ultimate moves, the Pixui Beast felt a sense of absurdity; these two attacks had killed countless enemies for it, or at the very least, allowed it to retreat unscathed from powerful foes.

Yet the human it encountered today was unexpectedly troublesome. Although he was only at the first stage of the Domain Lord Rank, the surprisingly immense power of his domain and the weapon in his hand filled it with fear.

With its back to Bai Muye, it fled toward the rear of its own camp without even looking back.

But it was a little too late to run now.

Bai Muye flicked his left hand, and the Domain Shield in his palm instantly elongated. A Domain Whip appeared above the beast's head as if by teleportation, lashing down!

The Pixui Beast could almost hear the sound of its own skull cracking. The excruciating pain made its vision go black, and before it could react, Bai Muye had already appeared in front of it.

Its final sight was a spear-like weapon piercing into the existing wound on its forehead, followed by the Singularity within its body being shattered by the force that surged inside. Its vision went dark, and it fell into eternal night.
