Domain of Wind

"Hahaha--!"

The scarred warrior's wild laughter echoed through the distorted space of the domain.

That newly birthed, pale cyan Domain of Wind, though appearing somewhat immature, stubbornly carved out a "pure land" within Su Zhe's deep, ink-like Domain of Fire.

Wind blades whistled, slicing into the encroaching black flames and emitting a harsh, screeching "hiss."

The two domains were locked in confrontation.

However, Su Zhe felt no ripples in his heart—well, perhaps just a few.

How could any random passerby achieve a breakthrough in the heat of battle, while he could not?

Su Zhe fell into deep self-doubt.

Back then, it had taken him nearly a month from his first realization of a domain to actually mastering the Domain of Fire!

Su Zhe looked at the scarred warrior, his killing intent growing even more intense.

"A domain? A breakthrough in battle?"

"Let me see what your newborn domain is actually worth!"

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

Although both Su Zhe and the scarred warrior were at the first level of domain mastery, Su Zhe's domain was inherently unique. Furthermore, having mastered it for a longer time, he was already approaching the second level!

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

Yet, the scarred warrior seemed oblivious to this, his mind intoxicated by the sensation of wielding a domain.

"Pay for my second brother's life!"

The scarred man looked at Su Zhe with a crazed expression. The longsword in his hand whipped up violent cyan air currents, and he lunged toward Su Zhe at extreme speed, briefly tearing through the surrounding Domain of Fire!

"Kill!"

"Tear him apart!"

At the same time, the remaining three adventurers, who had been stunned, finally reacted. Their faces were a mix of wild joy at their leader's breakthrough and resentment toward Su Zhe.

All three roared. Two Star-level 5 warriors attacked: one slashed from the flank with a blade, while the other attempted to circle behind Su Zhe to launch a sneak attack.

The Star-level 5 Psychic was even more aggressive, controlling a series of flying wheels—which appeared to be Tier 2 telekinetic weapons—to intercept Su Zhe's other escape route, completely sealing off his room to dodge!

Their coordination was seamless; it was clear they were not a team thrown together at the last minute.

If Su Zhe hadn't taken the initiative to eliminate the Star-level 6 Psychic first, they would likely have been even harder to deal with.

"Hmph!"

Su Zhe let out a cold snort. Facing this all-encompassing kill zone, he had no intention of dodging.

Are you kidding me?

Can you even break my defense? And you dare to lay a hand on me?

Instead of retreating, he surged forward. With a push from his legs, his figure vanished from the spot, and in the next instant, he appeared right beside one of the warriors!

Swish!

His right arm transformed into a blade. Su Zhe slashed down without bothering to dodge, taking the warrior's strike head-on with his own body while simultaneously slicing the man in half at the waist!

Devour!

[Devoured Star-level 5 warrior, gained 40,960 Devour Points]

The warrior's blade had struck the scales that instantly formed on Su Zhe's skin, leaving only a white mark. After Su Zhe devoured him, the mark vanished as he recovered instantly, showing no signs of injury.

"Damn it! Fourth brother!"

The scarred warrior's expression turned even uglier. He hadn't managed to stop Su Zhe, but by now, he had reached Su Zhe's front.

"Clang!"

Blade met sword!

The strength of a Star-level 6 was, after all, significantly higher than Su Zhe's. With the added bonus of the Domain of Wind, the power of the scarred warrior's strike was fully comparable to the full-force blow of a peak Star-level 9.

Su Zhe took the hit head-on, and his body could not help but sustain damage, yet no blood flowed out.

The powerful regenerative ability of the Blacklight Virus was repairing Su Zhe's body, and the life energy stored within him finally proved its worth.

Although limited by Su Zhe's physical form, the upper limit of life energy he could store was not very high.

But it was more than enough to sustain a single battle.

"Good chance!"

A fierce light flared in the scarred man's eyes.

He flicked his wrist, changing his sword strike from a thrust to a slash. The cyan wind blades followed like maggots on rotting bone, chasing Su Zhe's throat!

Su Zhe's expression remained unchanged—

"Die!"

Su Zhe's target had never been the hardest bone to crack!

Under the astonished gaze of the scarred warrior, Su Zhe's figure flickered, and he appeared right beside the Psychic!

In the Psychic's bewildered eyes, Su Zhe's right hand transformed into a sharp claw, plunging into the Psychic's chest and crushing his heart!

[Devoured Star-level Tier 5 Psychic, obtained 40,960 Devour Points]

[Psychic level increased: Star-level Tier 3]

"Fifth... no, Third!!!"

The scarred warrior turned pale with terror; the only remaining Star-level Tier 5 warrior on the field had been killed by Su Zhe in an instant!

[Devoured Star-level Tier 5 warrior, obtained 40,960 Devour Points]

As Su Zhe devoured these two, not only was his recent expenditure replenished, but his strength ushered in a new round of growth!

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

Su Zhe turned his head to look at the scarred warrior.

Under the constant erosion of the Nihility Devouring Flame, even the scarred warrior's Domain of Wind was being gradually dismantled by the coverage of Su Zhe's own domain!

The scarred warrior's face turned deathly pale.

With the waning of his domain power, he had absolutely no way to contend with Su Zhe.

"Bastard!!"

The scarred warrior went completely mad.

Seeing his brothers die one after another, he disregarded the collapse of his domain and charged at Su Zhe once more.

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

The first level of Thousand Shadows had finally crossed the threshold after devouring several adventurers!

"Your turn."

The corners of Su Zhe's mouth curled up slightly. His figure flashed, and as the Domain of Wind dissipated entirely, he arrived right in front of the scarred warrior.

"Puchi!"

A blade slashed down.

"Flowing Fire Blade: Third Form!"

Su Zhe's force amplification had now reached 30 times; even a Star-level Tier 9 powerhouse would not dare to take the "Flowing Fire Blade: Third Form" head-on.

As this blade fell, the scarred warrior's death was sealed.

[Devoured Star-level Tier 5 Psychic, obtained 81,920 Devour Points]

[Current Devour Points: 930,258]

[Warrior level increased: Star-level Tier 4!]

Su Zhe let out a long breath.

Almost there!

As long as he killed one more Star-level Tier 6 beast or human, he would be able to gather one million Devour Points and obtain the third reward from the panel!

Su Zhe moved his mind and pulled up the panel.
