Domain Expansion

The battle was about to erupt!

The atmosphere was taut as a bowstring.

In the distance, the "Humanoid Tyrannosaur," which resembled a cute young girl yet was covered in savage bone blades and scaled armor, fixed this side with her scarlet vertical pupils.

"Miss Ice Cream, get your ultimate ready. Hopefully, you can burst the Boss down in one combo."

Xia Yuan rolled his wrists, still wearing that slightly flippant smile.

But deep within those azure eyes, a trace of silver light had already surfaced.

"It's Ice Crystal Valkyrie!"

"And you have no right to question my strongest attack!"

The chill around the Ice Soul Queen surged violently once more!

The ice crystals condensed in the air spun around her as if alive, refracting the surrounding light into brilliant icy-blue halos.

She snorted. "You should worry about whether your control can catch it. That thing is extremely fast!"

Xia Yuan glanced down at Han Yue and the others below. Naturally, he could not use his ultimate here, or the others might get caught up in it.

"Fast?"

"That's useless against me."

A wild curve lifted at the corner of his lips. He raised a hand toward the Humanoid Tyrannosaur Boss. "Here we go!"

The instant his words fell—

Xia Yuan vanished from where he stood.

"He disappeared?!"

The Ice Soul Queen's eyes narrowed. When she looked again, Xia Yuan had somehow flashed in front of the Boss and struck toward her abdomen with his palm!

The previous Red-Name Boss had been completely caught off guard the first time Xia Yuan rammed into it with his teleportation.

But this Humanoid Tyrannosaur was not so simple.

She took Xia Yuan's powerful impact head-on, driven by the attraction of Cursed Technique: Blue. Her 120,000 HP bar only dropped by around 5,000, and she did not even stiffen!

"Roar!"

The cute tyrannosaur girl unleashed an Evil Dragon's Roar.

Clearly startled by Xia Yuan's distance-ignoring charge, she felt an immense sense of danger and attacked with a roar. The massive bone blade extending from her arm sliced through the air, carrying a vicious gale that seemed capable of tearing apart everything as it swept toward Xia Yuan's waist!

But just as before, the bone blade was blocked by Limitless once again, halting in front of Xia Yuan without touching him in the slightest.

With a flick of his finger, Xia Yuan instantly fired a Hollow Technique: Purple.

In an instant, dazzling purple light blazed forth!

At level 28, Xia Yuan was much stronger than before.

The Hollow Technique: Purple he unleashed was more powerful than before in both scale and might.

The terrifying purple mass of energy twisted and sliced through space as it crashed into the tyrannosaur Boss.

A layer of mysterious light suddenly flared over her body, forming a shield that actually blocked most of Hollow Technique: Purple's power!

Her HP bar dropped by another small segment!

But she still had over 100,000 HP left. That damage was barely worth mentioning.

Xia Yuan had only wanted to test how much damage his own output could deal to a level 100 Abyss Boss.

But he had clearly been overthinking it.

He was only level 28 at the moment, possessing less than one-third of his peak strength. His damage output was still far too lacking.

Yet in Han Yue and the others' eyes, this scene was already utterly absurd!

A level 28 Xia Yuan could actually trade blows with a level 100 Boss.

No one would have believed it without seeing it with their own eyes!

Han Yue asked Mo Shiyu curiously, "He blocked the Boss's attack without taking damage again. It looks like he has more than just one overpowered skill."

Mo Shiyu nodded and roughly explained the abilities of the Limitless Technique.

The group was astonished once again!

The Limitless of mathematics and formulas had been manifested into reality?!

No wonder he could block the Boss's attacks without suffering a scratch...

Contract Spirits and dungeon monsters might be powerful, but most of them were merely stat-based monsters. This guy, though, was clearly a mechanics-based monster!

Elsewhere.

Knowing he could not solo it, Xia Yuan formed a hand seal with one hand and prepared to use Domain Expansion.

He called out, "Miss Ice Cream!"

A streak of icy-blue afterimage flashed past like lightning, arriving behind the Boss in the blink of an eye and slashing her down with a single sword strike!

The Humanoid Tyrannosaur briefly fell into a stiffened state as her body continued to plummet.

With the support of the three auxiliary Contract Spirits, the Ice Soul Queen's attack power and speed had both risen to their peak!

Her slash contained terrifying power as well, taking nearly another 5,000 HP from the Boss!

"Here it comes!"

The Ice Soul Queen reluctantly grabbed Xia Yuan's arm. "I hope you weren't bluffing."

A strange light flickered in Xia Yuan's azure eyes. His lips moved slightly as calm, icy words rang out:

"Domain Expansion—!"

"Unlimited Void!"

In that instant, the Ice Soul Queen's hair stood on end.

A coercive domain, almost like a law of nature, began spreading outward from Xia Yuan!

The spiritual power within Mo Shiyu was instantly drained dry, and she collapsed stiffly to the ground.

An absolutely silent spherical space suddenly descended, enveloping Xia Yuan, the Ice Soul Queen, and the falling Humanoid Tyrannosaur!

It distorted the light, forming a hazy barrier that seemed filled with viscous gray matter!

Everything outside was completely Devoured by that gray space.

The view inside became blurred and distorted.

At the center of the domain, Xia Yuan still held his raised-hand posture.

The smile on his face had vanished, replaced by an utterly detached calm. Deep within his silver eyes, endless cursed seals spun like reflections of cosmic stars!

The Humanoid Tyrannosaur Boss's eyes, once filled with violent killing intent, suddenly became exceptionally clear—and foolish.

Her vertical pupils expanded and contracted violently, then expanded again, flickering nonstop like a faulty light bulb!

"Ugh...?!"

Within her mind, filled with destruction and battle lust, an endless torrent of information was now being forcibly poured in!

The perceptions, sensations, and senses produced by life itself were being forcibly continued without Limit!

At that moment, she seemed able to sense everything in the world, like a god!

But because her brain could not process those hundreds of millions of useless transmissions and information bombardments, it overloaded and crashed, leaving her trapped in despairing stupor!

In the end, the Humanoid Tyrannosaur Boss froze in place, completely motionless.

She had become a living target!

Xia Yuan grinned and let out a long breath.

"Phew... Looks like it worked. Sure enough, even dungeon Bosses possess the most basic consciousness in their brains."

The Ice Soul Queen's nerves were taut. Her face remained expressionless, but a storm had already risen in her heart!

She had originally thought Xia Yuan had exaggerated when describing his skill.

But now, she had witnessed the level 95 tyrannosaur Boss, once so invincible and arrogant, standing still like a puppet whose soul had been ripped away!

Everything she knew had been completely overturned!

SSR... could actually possess such an absolute law-like power that ignored levels and struck directly at the root!

If she had not been touching Xia Yuan, then even she, a max-level SR, would have been overwhelmed by the enormous flood of information in her brain and left frozen and paralyzed in place.

She would have become a living target incapable of resistance!

The Ice Soul Queen silently withdrew her decision to beat him up afterward.

Outside.

Han Yue and the others stared wide-eyed at the silent gray spherical domain in the air, utterly shocked.

Could a level 28 Contract Spirit really cause such a spectacle?!

Mo Shiyu had already taken out every spiritual-power-restoring potion she had and kept pouring them down her throat.

The spiritual power consumption of Domain Expansion far exceeded all expectations!

If she had not prepared in advance and desperately chugged potions, she would have fainted long ago.
