A Challenge, the Domain of Darkness
"Don't you understand the ambitions of the three Dao Lords? What they want is the primordial power of the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm."
They have been searching for Innate Spirit Vein. Once they find them, they will not only seize the Innate Spirit Vein, but also exterminate our entire race!
"Because we are all descendants of primordial beings, and the bloodline of the Taichu origin flows within us. By absorbing our bloodline, they can break through their limits more quickly!"
"Surrender will only hasten our demise! Only resistance offers us a chance of survival!"
The voice of the Shen Tian was resounding and echoed throughout the hall for a long time.
Some tribal leaders who had initially advocated surrender and neutrality showed hesitation on their faces.
But just then, a chilling voice rang out.
"Shen Tian, you talk a good game, but aren't you just trying to consolidate your rule in the Southern Region by using Li Yunjing's power? Don't try to portray yourself as so noble."
All eyes were on the speaker.
The speaker was a man dressed in a long black robe.
His body was shrouded in shadow, obscuring his face, and he exuded a cold and eerie aura.
He is Mo Ying, the patriarch of the Shadow Race.
The Shadow Race is the most mysterious race in the Southern Region, skilled in stealth and assassination.
They have always coveted the rule of the God Race and wanted to take their place.
Mo Ying slowly stepped out of the shadows, revealing his face.
Mo Ying's skin was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and his eyes were pure black with no whites, making him look incredibly eerie.
He looked at Shen Tian and said with a sneer, "Shen Tian, you say you can lead us to overthrow the Holy Domain, then I'd like to ask you, do you have the strength?"
"Not to mention overthrowing the Holy Domain, you're not even worthy to be the ruler of this Southern Region!"
"You're just Late Dao Union Late Dao Union, and so am I. Why should you be the ruler of the Southern Region, while I have to obey your orders?"
"I believe the ruler of the Southern Region should be the strongest person. Today, I, Mo Ying, challenge you! If you can defeat me, I will submit to you and obey your orders."
If you cannot defeat me, then the rule of the Southern Region will belong to my Shadow Race!
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.
No one expected that Mo Ying would openly challenge Shen Tian's rule at this time.
Shen Tian's face instantly turned incredibly grim. He stared intently at Mo Ying, gritting his teeth as he said, "Mo Ying, don't go too far!"
Mo Ying sneered and said, "Excessive? I'm just stating the facts. What, you're afraid to accept my challenge? If you're not, then obediently hand over the rule of the Southern Region!"
"Dare not? What a joke! Fine! I accept your challenge!" Shen Tian roared, "Today, I'll show you who the true ruler of the Southern Region is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tian rushed out of the main hall, with Mo Ying following closely behind.
Seeing this, the other creatures inside the hall also rushed out to see what was happening.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing also found it amusing.
However, he also left the main hall, intending to see just how strong Shen Tian was.
The plaza Hall of the Gods was already filled with creatures of all races.
The leaders and disciples of the various tribes in the Southern Region gathered here to watch this ultimate showdown that would determine the future of the Southern Region.
In the center of the square, Shen Tian and Mo Ying stood facing each other.
Shen Tian was dressed in a white robe and held a golden longsword, exuding an aura of holiness and majesty.
Mo Ying was dressed in a long black robe, his body half-hidden in the shadows, holding a black dagger in his hand.
The two auras collided, creating a powerful airflow in the center of the plaza, distorting the surrounding void.
"Shen Tian, unleash your full power, or you'll suffer a terrible death." Mo Ying's voice was chilling and piercing.
"Enough with the nonsense! Prepare to die!"
Shen Tian roared and launched the first attack.
"Judgment of the Gods!"
Shen Tian suddenly pointed the golden longsword in his hand towards the sky.
In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky. A massive golden lightning bolt struck down from the clouds, carrying a devastating force, heading straight for the Mo Ying.
This is a divine Innate Divine Ability of the God Race, possessing immense power and containing the ultimate yang energy of the sun, which is most effective against the Shadow Race's sinister power.
"Hmph, a mere trick."
Mo Ying snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and he instantly disappeared into the shadows.
The golden lightning struck the ground heavily, creating a huge crater, but the Mo Ying remained unharmed.
At the same time, the sky suddenly darkened.
In an instant, the entire square was plunged into darkness.
Upon seeing this, Shen Tian's expression turned ugly.
"Domain of Darkness, I never imagined you'd mastered your clan's unparalleled divine Divine Ability!"
The Shadow Clan possesses a inherited method for cultivating Divine Ability; once mastered, it allows them to unleash a Domain of Darkness.
Within this realm, all abilities of the Shadow Race will be enhanced.
The gods have a way to control the Domain of Darkness, but unfortunately, the Shen Tian does not.
Now trapped in the Domain of Darkness, Shen Tian finds himself in a very difficult situation.
"Shen Tian, surrender now, and we might spare your life!"
Mo Ying's voice came from all directions.
"Where?"
Shen Tian cautiously looked around, his Divine Sense fully deployed, searching for Mo Ying's trace.
"Surrender? Don't even think about it!" Shen Tian hissed in a low voice.
Although he tried his best to find Mo Ying, the Shadow Race's Stealth Technique were unparalleled, not to mention the added advantage of their Domain of Darkness.
Once Mo Ying merged into the shadows, Shen Tian's Divine Sense was completely unable to detect his presence.
Suddenly, Shen Tian felt a chill run down his spine.
"Not good!"
Shen Tian was startled and quickly turned to defend himself.
"Puff!"
A black dagger emerged from the shadows, piercing precisely towards Shen Tian's back.
Although Shen Tian turned around in time, he was still a step too slow.
The dagger sliced a deep gash into his shoulder, and Golden Light blood flowed from the wound.
"Hahaha, Shen Tian, you're nothing special!" Mo Ying's laughter came from all directions, making it impossible to tell where he was.
"Mo Ying, if you've got the guts, stop hiding! Come out and fight me head-on!" Shen Tian roared, a piercing pain shooting through the wound on his shoulder.
The dagger in the Mo Ying was coated with the Shadow Race's deadly poison, which was rapidly corroding his body.
"A head-on battle? I'm not that stupid." Mo Ying's voice rang out again, "We, the Shadow Race, are best known for assassination. Today, I'll make you die in the shadows!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another black figure lunged out from the shadows to Shen Tian's left, a dagger aimed at Shen Tian's throat.
Shen Tian was prepared and suddenly swung his golden longsword.
"When!"
The longsword and dagger clashed together, producing a crisp metallic sound.
The figure in the Mo Ying disappeared into the shadows once more.
The ensuing battle turned into a one-sided pressure from Mo Ying.
Mo Ying emerged from the shadows of every corner, launching sneak attacks. Shen Tian could only passively defend, constantly running for his life.
Although Shen Tian's strength is comparable to Mo Ying's...
However, Shen Tian's full strength was completely unable to be unleashed in the face of the Shadow Race's Stealth Technique.
In particular, the Domain of Darkness's enhancement to Mo Ying was too great, making it impossible for Shen Tian to pinpoint Mo Ying's whereabouts!
