The Domain Lord! The Immortal Domain's Aristocratic Lineages

The newcomer was none other than the lord of the Heavenly Moon Dao Domain! Li Xinghe.

"Ah! It's the Domain Lord!"

"We respectfully welcome the Domain Lord!"

Everyone dropped to their knees in homage.

Di Chen raised his head and saw the Domain Lord. His expression grew grave.

Although he did not fear the Domain Lord, this man gave him an intensely dangerous feeling, even more terrifying than Elder Wang.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that Di Chen had not saluted him, the Domain Lord snorted coldly. Rolling sound waves shook the space around them, and a terrifying force enveloped Di Chen, seemingly intent on crushing him.

Di Chen's brows furrowed into deep grooves. He felt that this presence made it difficult to breathe.

But how could someone as proud to his very bones as Di Chen submit? He abruptly rallied his spirit, his legs bending and every bone in his body cracking as he drove his Emperor Bloodline to its utmost to resist the force.

Boom!

A dazzling burst of light erupted beside the two of them, twisting even space itself.

A flicker of surprise flashed through the Domain Lord's eyes. Di Chen's strength had completely exceeded his estimates. He snorted coldly, and surging true essence poured from his body, forming an enormous net spanning a hundred zhang.

"Break!"

Brilliant golden light flashed in Di Chen's eyes. The longsword in his hand blazed with dazzling golden radiance as he struck the enormous net.

With a thunderous boom, the entire expanse of space fractured. A ripple visible to the naked eye spread outward, shattering space inch by inch into nothingness wherever it passed.

Everyone was horrified and hurried away from the battle.

Bang!

Di Chen was driven back several zhang by the Domain Lord before he steadied himself. His robes snapped in the wind, and his eyes were as red as fire. He wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, then flickered into motion, intending to charge forward again.

"What bloodline is this?!" Shock finally appeared on the Domain Lord's face...

"You dare injure my young master! So what if you're the lord of a domain?" Elder Wang roared from afar,

his figure sweeping over like a phantom at incredible speed.

Elder Wang thrust out his right palm, sending destructive pressure sweeping in every direction.

Li Xinghe sneered and threw a punch. The two utterly terrifying forces collided instantly. In a flash, winds and clouds surged, heaven and earth changed color, and terrifying power ravaged the surroundings. The entire great hall collapsed, and figure after figure scrambled in panic to dodge the rampaging power.

"A peak Quasi-Emperor! Who exactly are you?!" Li Xinghe asked Di Chen in shock. To actually have a peak Quasi-Emperor as his Dao protector-he had no choice but to reassess Di Chen's identity.

"You aren't qualified to know yet!" Di Chen said indifferently. He did not wish to reveal his identity.

Li Xinghe's expression shifted uncertainly. Suddenly, he smiled. "Young man, you're far too arrogant. Today, I'll show you what a true powerhouse is!"

Rumble!

The void around Li Xinghe instantly collapsed, and heaven and earth changed color. An utterly terrifying presence suddenly surged from his body, making everyone's expressions change drastically.

"An Emperor-level powerhouse?!" "How is that possible!"

"The Domain Lord is an Emperor-level powerhouse! This is simply unbelievable!"

"All hail the mighty Domain Lord!"

"No! This isn't a Great Emperor, but a half-step Great Emperor who has comprehended a trace of the laws of heaven and earth, only a hair's breadth away from a true Great Emperor." Zi Yan discerned the truth. She bit her cherry lips, her face full of worry. The most obvious difference between a half-step Great Emperor and a Quasi-Emperor was comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth. A half-step Great Emperor was formed through the condensation of their own Great Dao laws and possessed a trace of their own unique Dao resonance. Although the gap was merely a sheet of window paper, the difference was as vast as heaven and earth, practically an impassable chasm!

"In other words, even a half-step Great Emperor can kill a Quasi-Emperor in an instant." Zi Yan clenched her delicate fists tightly. She knew that the youth before her had run into trouble. She turned to look at Zhang Yu,

only to see crushed communication talismans littering the ground at his feet. She looked at Di Chen again, only to find his gaze indifferent and his expression calm, as though he was not worried at all.

As Di Chen looked at the Domain Lord, he was somewhat surprised as well. He had not expected the other man to be a half-step Great Emperor. Nevertheless, he felt no fear whatsoever.

A half-step Great Emperor was indeed formidable, but not enough to frighten him.

"Elder Wang, stand down!" Di Chen said lightly.

"But..." Zhang Yu said worriedly, looking at Di Chen.

Di Chen shook his head, his gaze settling on the Domain Lord. "I have a move. I wonder whether you can withstand it!"

"Oh? Then I'd like to see just what you're capable of!" the Domain Lord said with interest.

"Hahaha! I heard some brat who doesn't know what's good for him actually dared offend Domain Lord Li." A burst of laughter suddenly came from the horizon. Everyone looked toward the voice and saw a group of cultivators flying through the sky, their presence majestic and their bearing as vast as the sea. Each wore different attire, making it clear at a glance that they belonged to some sect or lineage.

They were the heads of the Ye, Chen, and Situ Lineages, Immortal Aristocratic Lineages of the Immortal Domain. Zhang Yu's pupils contracted sharply when he saw these three lineage heads.

All three lineage heads were eighth heaven Quasi-Emperors! Each radiated an overbearing presence.

The others were all fourth- or fifth-heaven Quasi-Emperor cultivators, nine in total.

Zhang Yu's eyelid twitched. They had truly stirred up a hornet's nest this time. The powerhouses of the Immortal Domain's Immortal Aristocratic Lineages had actually turned out in force. It seemed this Domain Lord held some standing in the Immortal Domain.
