Domain of Wind

"Hahaha--!"

The scar-faced warrior's wild laughter echoed through the warped domain space.

The newly formed pale-green Domain of Wind was still somewhat immature, but it stubbornly carved out a patch of "pure land" within Su Zhe's deep, ink-black Domain of Fire.

Wind blades howled, slicing through the invading black flames with a shrill, sizzling sound.

The two domains were locked in a clash.

Su Zhe felt no stir in his heart—well, perhaps a little.

How come every random passerby could break through in the middle of a fight, but he couldn't?

Su Zhe fell into deep self-doubt.

It had taken him almost a month to go from first gaining some insight into domains to mastering the Domain of Fire!

Su Zhe looked at the scar-faced warrior, his killing intent growing stronger.

"A domain? A breakthrough in the middle of a fight?"

"Let me see what use your newborn domain is!"

Su Zhe's gaze sharpened. Under his control, the surrounding Domain of Fire erupted with even greater pressure, bearing down on the newly formed Domain of Wind.

Though both Su Zhe's domain and the scar-faced warrior's were at the First Layer, Su Zhe's domain was special to begin with. On top of that, he had mastered it for much longer and was already close to the Second Layer!

Under Su Zhe's onslaught, the Domain of Wind began to waver.

The scar-faced warrior, however, seemed not to notice. The feeling of mastering a domain had gone to his head.

"Pay for our second brother's life!"

The scar-faced warrior stared at Su Zhe with a crazed look. His longsword swept up a violent current of green air as he charged at Su Zhe at incredible speed. For an instant, he even tore through the surrounding Domain of Fire!

"Kill!"

"Rip him apart!"

At the same time, the three remaining adventurers, who had been stunned, finally came to their senses. Their faces showed a mix of elation at their leader's breakthrough and hatred for Su Zhe.

All three roared. Two were fifth-tier Star Level warriors: one swung his blade at Su Zhe from the flank, while the other tried to circle behind him and launch a sneak attack.

The fifth-tier Star Level Psychic also controlled a series of flying discs. They seemed to be second-tier Psychic Weapons, and he positioned them to block Su Zhe's other escape route, completely sealing off any room to dodge!

The four worked together with practiced coordination. Clearly, they weren't a team that had just come together.

If Su Zhe hadn't struck first and killed the sixth-tier Star Level Psychic, they would have been much harder to deal with.

"Hmph!"

Su Zhe snorted. Faced with this deadly encirclement, he had no intention of dodging.

As if.

Could they even break through his defenses? And they still dared to attack him?

Instead of retreating, he charged forward. He pushed off with both legs, and his figure vanished from where he stood. In the next instant, he was beside one of the warriors!

Whoosh!

His right arm turned into a blade, and Su Zhe brought it down. He didn't even try to dodge, taking the warrior's blow head-on as he cut the man in half at the waist!

Devour!

[Devoured a fifth-tier Star Level warrior; gained 40960 Devour Points]

The warrior's blade struck the scales that had formed over Su Zhe's body in an instant, leaving only a white mark. After Su Zhe devoured him, the mark quickly healed, leaving no sign of injury.

"Damn it! Fourth!"

The scar-faced warrior's expression darkened. He hadn't managed to stop Su Zhe, but by then, he had already reached him.

Clang!

Blade met sword!

The sixth-tier Star Level warrior was still considerably stronger than Su Zhe. With the added boost of the Domain of Wind, the power of the scar-faced warrior's attack was fully equal to the all-out strike of a peak ninth-tier Star Level fighter.

Su Zhe took the blow head-on and was inevitably injured, but no blood spilled.

The Blacklight Virus's powerful recovery was repairing Su Zhe's body. At last, the life energy he had stored up came in handy.

Though Su Zhe's size limited how much life energy he could store, and the upper limit wasn't very high,

it was still more than enough to sustain a battle.

"Now's my chance!"

A vicious glint flared in the scar-faced warrior's eyes.

He flicked his wrist, turning his longsword's thrust into a slash. Green wind blades pursued Su Zhe's throat like maggots clinging to bone!

Su Zhe's expression didn't change—

"Die!"

Su Zhe had never intended to start with the toughest opponent!

As the scar-faced warrior watched in shock, Su Zhe's figure flashed and reappeared beside the Psychic!

As the Psychic stared at him in confusion, Su Zhe's right hand turned into a claw. He thrust it into the Psychic's chest and crushed his heart!

[Devoured a fifth-tier Star Level Psychic; gained 40960 Devour Points]

[Psychic Level increased: Stellar Level Three]

"Fifth... no, third!!!"

The scar-faced warrior was aghast. The only fifth-tier Star Level warrior left on the field had also been killed by Su Zhe in an instant!

[Devoured a fifth-tier Star Level warrior; gained 40960 Devour Points]

After devouring the two men, Su Zhe not only recovered the energy he had just expended, but his strength also rose to a new level!

"Now it's just the two of us."

Su Zhe turned and looked at the scar-faced warrior.

As the Void Devouring Flame continued to eat away at it, even the scar-faced warrior's Domain of Wind was gradually falling apart beneath the coverage of Su Zhe's domain!

The scar-faced warrior's face paled.

As the power of his domain waned, he had no way to fight Su Zhe anymore.

"Bastard!!"

The scar-faced warrior went completely berserk.

His brothers had been killed one after another. Ignoring the collapse of his domain, he charged at Su Zhe again.

Su Zhe, however, couldn't be bothered to look at him.

After devouring several adventurers, the First Layer of Thousand Shadows had finally reached its threshold!

"Your turn."

Su Zhe's lips curved slightly. His figure flashed, and just as the Domain of Wind completely vanished, he appeared in front of the scar-faced warrior.

"Splurt!"

His blade came down.

"Flowing Fire Blade: Third Form!"

Su Zhe's Force Amplitude had now reached thirty times. Even a ninth-tier Star Level expert wouldn't dare take the Flowing Fire Blade's Third Form head-on.

As the blade fell, the scar-faced warrior's death was sealed.

[Devoured a fifth-tier Star Level Psychic; gained 81920 Devour Points]

[Current Devour Points: 930258]

[Warrior Level increased: Star Level Four!]

Su Zhe let out a long breath.

Almost there!

All he needed was to kill one more sixth-tier Star Level beast or human, and he would have a million Devour Points—enough to claim the panel's third reward!

With a thought, Su Zhe brought up the panel.
