Advancing to King Tier

"My Gravity Domain is immune to Origin Force. You can only withstand it with your flesh. How does a hundredfold gravity feel?"

Xu Weilin did not kill Xia Yu immediately. He wanted Xia Yu to die in despair.

Su Deyu's expression darkened. He had never imagined that Xu Weilin's King's Domain would be a Gravity Domain.

This kind of domain was terrifying.

He knew that several hundred years ago, a cultivator had comprehended such a domain. Within it, that cultivator had been absolutely invincible among his peers.

Moreover, a Gravity Domain would grow stronger as one's cultivation increased.

Under the hundredfold Gravity Domain, the force bearing down on Xia Yu's body was frighteningly immense.

Even with his powerful physique, enduring it was extremely difficult.

Watching Xia Yu struggle to stand, Su Deyu knew he was in danger.

"We concede this battle!"

Su Deyu declared loudly and soared into the air.

He intended to save Xia Yu.

But the moment he moved, Zhang Xinyi blocked him.

"We agreed to a fair fight. If you dare interfere, the Martial Saint Academy will wipe out your Dao-Seeking Academy today."

Zhang Xinyi spoke coldly and waved a hand. The others from the Martial Saint Academy blocked those who were itching to act.

Not only that, more than a dozen figures flew over from the distant horizon.

Yuan Pingtian, the Martial Saint Academy's vice dean, had arrived with reinforcements.

More than a dozen powerful auras blotted out the sky and sun.

The elders, all at the peak of the Emperor Realm, stared coldly at the people from the Dao-Seeking Academy.

If they dared move, they would surely die.

A bitter smile touched the corners of Su Deyu's mouth.

He was not concerned about Zhang Xinyi, but with Yuan Pingtian joining him, he had no chance of winning.

The people from the Martial Saint Academy smiled disdainfully.

"Weilin, kill Xia Yu," Zhang Xinyi said coldly.

Xu Weilin sent Xia Yu flying with another punch, then slowly walked up to him.

His domain spanned more than ninety feet, covering a vast area.

Xia Yu could not escape the Gravity Domain. He could not resist at all and could only await death.

Xia Yu had not expected this either. He sighed. He could not underestimate any opponent.

He could not underestimate anyone under heaven!

Origin Force from his six small worlds surged madly into his injured areas, repairing his wounds.

But Xia Yu's injuries were severe, and he could not recover quickly.

"This punch will blow your head apart."

Xu Weilin clenched his fist, his face covered in a cold sneer.

The next moment, his fist shot straight toward Xia Yu's head.

If it landed solidly, Xia Yu would surely die.

At this critical moment, the Heaven-Incinerating Furnace suddenly trembled.

A stream of exceptionally pure spiritual energy rushed straight into Xia Yu's wounded body.

Xia Yu shifted his body with difficulty, trying to dodge the fist.

But the mountain-like gravity made every movement a struggle.

Just then, a dragon's roar rang out in his mind.

"An incomplete Domain of Force-what does a domain like this amount to? You actually lost to something like this?"

"You're infuriating me! What a disgrace!"

"Let me show you what a true Domain of Force is."

The next moment, Xia Yu felt his consciousness suddenly being drawn away.

Before him lay an unimaginably vast space, and within it was an unimaginably enormous dragon.

A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

The Ancestral Dragon!

"The Domain of Force is one of the most powerful domains. It encompasses not only gravity, but also vibration, attraction, and repulsion. Every force attribute under heaven is composed of these four forces."

"Gravity is merely the most basic force attribute. Feel it carefully."

The Ancestral Dragon's voice echoed through the space.

The next moment, Xia Yu felt his entire body slowly growing heavier.

Layer upon layer of gravity descended on him.

He immediately caught the fluctuations that controlled this power.

The pressure multiplied over and over, forcing his body lower, inch by inch.

Bang!

He was crushed flat against the ground.

"Idiot! Comprehend the fluctuations, then adjust every one of your small worlds to control this power!"

The Ancestral Dragon roared!

Xia Yu remained silent, devoting all his effort to comprehending it.

Time trickled by. He had no idea how long had passed...

Suddenly, Xia Yu sprang up.

All the gravity weighing on him had completely lost its effect.

"I finally managed to gather a little dragon consciousness, and now it's all used up again. Little crawler, hurry up and grow stronger."

The Ancestral Dragon's voice was full of disdain.

The next moment, Xia Yu's consciousness returned to his body.

Before his eyes was a fist rapidly growing larger.

He could even see the subtle expressions on Xu Weilin's face-that disdain, that confidence!

And the smug satisfaction of knowing he was about to kill Xia Yu.

The powerful fist slammed into Xia Yu's head.

But Xu Weilin's sneer suddenly froze.

He had clearly seen his fist strike Xia Yu's head, yet his hand felt as though it had hit empty air.

At that instant, he heard the air explode.

A sense of danger enveloped him, making his hair stand on end.

"Something's wrong!"

Xu Weilin abruptly tried to retreat.

Bang!

He heard an explosive crash.

The next moment, he lost consciousness.

A head suddenly burst apart like a smashed watermelon.

The sight left everyone stunned.

"That... that's impossible!"

Zhang Xinyi cried out in shock.

Even he could never have imagined this outcome.

This result was simply too difficult to accept.

The Martial Saint Academy's inner sect Senior Brother had had his head blown apart!

And the person who had blown his head apart was only at the Profound Origin Realm peak.

Whether they were spectators watching nearby or members of the two academies, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Xia Yu did not care how they looked at him. He swiftly snatched Xu Weilin's Heaven and Earth Bag and slapped it into the Heaven-Incinerating Furnace.

The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, he instantly retreated into the Dao-Seeking Academy's ranks.

At the same time, he felt a rich, pure stream of spiritual energy rush through the Heaven-Incinerating Furnace into his meridians.

There was an enormous amount of spiritual energy, not much less than what Su Deyu's mountain-like pile of Spirit Stones had contained.

Xia Yu secretly rejoiced. Xu Weilin had been rich.

Sure enough, killing and looting was the fastest way to make money.

In an instant, all of Xia Yu's injuries healed.

Not only that, his seventh small world activated instantly.

The Origin Force within his seven small worlds transformed into seven miniature Ancestral Dragons, surging through Xia Yu's body.

Every cell frantically absorbed energy, divided, died, and was reborn.

A ring of light appeared beneath Xia Yu's feet.

The next moment, the ring abruptly expanded to twenty feet.

The aura emanating from Xia Yu also surged instantly.

First level of the King Realm!

Second level of the King Realm!

Xia Yu froze for a moment. He had only advanced to the second level.

He was deeply dissatisfied with this result.

Last time, he had advanced five levels.

I'll just have to accept it!

Xia Yu thought to himself.

This fellow still was not satisfied.

Suddenly, Xia Yu had a bad feeling. A sense of danger surged into his heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, his body flickered. He instantly vanished from where he stood and appeared more than a hundred feet away.

Pfft!

A palm-sized hole had appeared in the ground where he had just stood, its bottom nowhere in sight.

The little hole looked as though a palm had been pressed into the ground.

"Kill Xia Yu! He must die!"

Suddenly, a furious shout jolted Xia Yu to attention.

Without another word, Zhang Xinyi turned his palm over.

A small palm abruptly appeared again in the sky.

Sky-Covering Palm!

This Sky-Covering Palm was unlike those cast by the outer sect elders, whose palms blotted out the sky and sun.

This palm was roughly the size of a human hand.

Yet the palm formed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy looked almost exactly like a human hand, even down to its clearly visible lines.

It was a Sky-Covering Palm formed by compressing Origin Force and vast quantities of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to the utmost.

This was the truly formidable Sky-Covering Palm!

Without hesitation, Zhang Xinyi struck his palm toward Xia Yu.

"Don't even think about it!"

Su Deyu roared and threw a punch at it.

Dao-Seeking Fist!

Boom...

The earth shook and the mountains trembled!

Tiny fissures split through the void.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished.
