Liberation

Rumble rumble~~

Endless Thunder Light surged wildly, with electric serpents darting through vast stretches of the surrounding space!

Within the domain, Qi Yuan seemed to have transformed into a god bathed in lightning!

"Th-this is... a domain! You actually comprehended a domain!"

As he looked at the terrifying arcs of electricity around him, brimming with endless destruction, the composure on the Tie Gao Clan warrior Meng Shan's face had long vanished.

"H-how is this possible? Your foundation was obviously so poor. Why, why could you comprehend a domain? This is impossible!"

Qi Yuan held the Force Battle Blade in his hand. Its black blade was wrapped in electric serpents, like a weapon wielded by a god.

At this moment, he felt as though he had become the master of lightning.

With a single thought, he could easily draw upon the power of the entire Thunder Domain and use it to empower himself.

An incomparably confident feeling surged up from the depths of his heart!

"Whether it's possible or not, you'll know once you try!"

Qi Yuan moved, instantly turning into an afterimage as he lunged forward!

Amid the endless swirling lightning, his figure seemed to merge with the entire Thunder Domain, becoming blurred and indistinct.

As he swung the black Force Battle Blade in his hand, he directly cleaved out a bolt of lightning!

"Hmph, so what if you have a domain!"

After his initial shock, Meng Shan, the Tie Gao Clan warrior who resembled a gorilla, quickly calmed down.

"I'm from the Tie Gao Clan. My base strength is far greater than yours. Even with a domain, you may not be able to withstand my attack!"

Power surged through his entire body. Driven by his mighty Force, the long staff in his hand erupted with a startling radiance!

Then he moved, charging toward Qi Yuan just as swiftly.

"Break!"

Meng Shan roared. His physical strength and primal energy surged together as the long staff in his hand smashed madly toward Qi Yuan's head with overwhelming force!

Yet Qi Yuan showed no trace of panic in the face of this blow infused with all of Meng Shan's strength.

His consciousness spread wildly, faintly seeming to merge with the surrounding Thunder Domain.

In this special state, his speed instantly soared!

Screech—

His body seemed to turn into a streak of lightning. In a single flash, he bypassed the Force Long Staff and arrived at Meng Shan's side.

Crackle crackle crackle~~~

A piercing buzz suddenly erupted from the black Force Battle Blade in his hand as a massive, waterfall-like lightning blade aura poured forth in an instant—

Meng Shan's attack had missed, and before he had even a moment to react, the Force Battle Blade carrying endless lightning blade aura slashed heavily across his neck, which was unprotected by alloy Battle Armor!

A layer of black Force Battle Suit quickly emerged over Meng Shan's body, completely wrapping his neck and head.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~

Protected by the Force Battle Suit, Qi Yuan's strike failed to sever his neck.

However, the powerful lightning carried by the blade erupted violently. Endless lightning power flowed forth like a flood, soon piercing through the black Battle Suit's defenses with great difficulty!

Splurt!

The berserk lightning power exploded within Meng Shan's neck, directly destroying more than half of his thick neck!

Meng Shan's charging body instantly froze—

The next second, the Force Battle Suit covering his entire head receded downward, revealing Meng Shan's somewhat pale face.

"Hah... hah..."

Air leaked continuously from Meng Shan's throat, and whenever he opened his mouth, large amounts of blood gushed out.

"So this is the power of a domain... Strong, very strong... I don't regret losing to you..."

"Thank you for helping me find liberation. Tha—"

He painfully transmitted those words to Qi Yuan before his body fell directly toward the sea below.

Watching his corpse plunge into the water, Qi Yuan's gaze dimmed. It felt as though a massive stone were lodged in his chest, leaving him with feelings too complicated to name.

At that moment, Meng Shan's transmission seemed to still echo in his mind:

"If you can do it, please... help me find liberation."

Inside the Floating Fortress, the special private rooms used for watching the battle had fallen into complete madness!

"My god!"

"This is..."

"A domain, it's a domain!"

"Oh my god, he mastered a domain at Star Traveller Fourth Stage, and someone like that is actually a slave! Damn it, who is his master? This is insane!"

Mastering a domain at the Star Traveller level—such a genius appeared even less often than Universe Level powerhouses!

Even in the Eternal Empire, the moment such a genius appeared, they would immediately be absorbed into the core circle!

Yet what had they just witnessed?

A Star Traveller genius whom even the Eternal Empire would value immensely was actually a slave!

"This is practically a slave destined to become a Universe Level powerhouse! A Universe Level slave is worth more than a Life Planet!"

"Good heavens, what kind of person could afford a slave like that? Wait, I heard the Eternal Empire's Seventh Prince came to Lanka Star. Could it be..."

Unlike the commotion in the other private rooms, the room Hugo was in was steeped in suffocating silence.

Whether it was his Sixth Brother, the other members of the family who had come with him, or even Hugo himself, all wore expressions of utter disbelief.

Only the Seventh Prince, whose background was extremely formidable, remained relatively calm, though a keen look of interest appeared in his eyes.

After a long while, a voice finally broke the silence in the private room—

"Good, very good, Little Nineteen. You really know how to hide your strength."

At that moment, the expression on Hugo's Sixth Brother, Adona's face, looked as though he had eaten shit—

Just a second ago, he had worn an expression of certain victory, intending to squeeze even more benefits out of Hugo.

Yet retribution came without warning, and the situation reversed in the blink of an eye.

Hugo's unremarkable Star Traveller guard had actually unleashed the power of a domain while facing an almost certain defeat!

Not only had he failed to squeeze Hugo, he had even lost a precious Tie Gao Clan slave!

Not to mention him—even Hugo himself was completely dumbfounded.

He had thought Qi Yuan had decent potential. With proper cultivation, he might one day reach Star Traveller Tier 7 or Tier 8, perhaps even Star Traveller Tier 9.

But he had never imagined that Qi Yuan could comprehend a domain while still at Star Traveller Fourth Stage!

Those who could comprehend a domain at this stage were practically guaranteed to break through to the Universe Level in the future!

If they were lucky, they might even have a sliver of a chance at reaching the Domain Lord level!

Even if he immediately sold Qi Yuan off now, a talented slave who had comprehended a domain would likely fetch more than ten times the price of an ordinary Star Traveller Tier 9!

The market price for a Star Traveller Tier 9 warrior slave was at least five billion Eternal Coins. Multiply that by ten, and it would be fifty billion Eternal Coins!

And how much had he spent to buy Qi Yuan back then?

Eight million, or ten million?

Reselling him would mean a profit of at least several thousand times!

Of course, if he truly sold such a precious genius slave, he would have to be out of his mind.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at his Sixth Brother, Adona.

"Hahaha, Adona, no need to say more. A bet is a bet. Transfer Bing Lan's control rights to me!"
