The Palace Opens Again, a Crushing Domain
After six years of silence, the magnificent palace finally opened its tightly closed doors once more.
"Boom--!"
The dormant patterns on the surface of the palace gate suddenly lit up, the light swirling, and the space that had separated the inside from the outside receded.
The heavy door began to slowly slide inward, revealing a sliver of a crack.
The pure essence of light suddenly burst forth from the crack in the door.
"It's open!"
"Jixing Palace Master arrived!"
"The Light Annihilation Domain, a supreme treasure of advanced technologies!"
The four Universe Master waiting outside instantly locked onto the open door, their eyes blazing with intense light.
Almost the instant the palace doors opened, "Hmph! You want to steal my treasure?!"
The Lord of Eternal Darkness struck first, a cold snort echoing through the void.
They were never allies, but competitors. Moreover, according to their intelligence, the newly promoted Human Race Universe Master, Qie Qiong, was only a second-tier Universe Master, and was not as threatening as the three around him.
His cloak, seemingly woven from the endless starry night sky, billowed violently, and a profound darkness spread out as if alive, instantly encroaching on the area where the other three Universe Masters were located. This was the "Eternal Darkness Star Curtain," a high- Domain Supreme Treasure he was activating.
Faced with the Eternal Lord's Domain Supreme Treasure, the other three naturally activated their own Domain Supreme Treasures as well.
The Lord of Bone Ashes let out a piercing roar, and ghastly green liquid flames surged violently from his lower body. "Heh heh! Darkness? Burn me to ashes!"
His advanced Domain Supreme Treasure, "Ashen Remains Demon Domain," erupted with a deafening roar. The pale green Flame Domain, carrying a malevolent aura that burned souls, collided with the Lord of Eternal Darkness's "Eternal Darkness Star Curtain."
Two powerful forces from higher realms clashed, causing space to twist violently in the collision.
The Rift Crystal Master reacted slightly slower, but he immediately activated his ordinary Domain Supreme Treasure, "Crystal Prism Realm." Countless crystal fragments refracting cold light spun and cut around him, forming a defensive domain that barely withstood the aftershocks of the domains of the Lord of Eternal Darkness and the Lord of Bone Ashes.
In this battle of wits, he could only barely protect himself.
The mysterious being shrouded in churning gray mist was facing the dark erosion deliberately targeted by the Lord of Eternal Darkness, and the gray mist around him surged violently.
He groaned, struggling to maintain the gray, misty domain surrounding him—it was just an ordinary Domain Supreme Treasure.
Under the suppression of the high- Domain Supreme Treasures of the Lord of Eternal Darkness and others, he, like the Rift Crystal Master, could only barely protect himself. The gray mist domain was continuously compressed until it stopped shrinking around his body.
"Overestimating yourself!" The Lord of Eternal Darkness noticed the gray shadow's struggle, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
He had already sensed this; even if the mysterious Universe Master was powerful, he was only at the second-tier level.
Ordinary Domain Supreme Treasure utterly vulnerable before him.
"Damn it, if I hadn't needed to conceal my identity, how could I have lost to a Lord of Eternal Darkness?"
A sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the Universe Master.
However, just as these four Universe Masters were each unleashing their respective abilities...
Qie Qiong's figure did not immediately appear through the crack in the palace door.
Instead, a voice, calm to the extreme yet imbued with majesty, clearly pierced through Space-Time, reaching the ears of every powerful individual. "Gentlemen, this is my kingdom."
"Annihilation Kingdom, open it!"
Buzz-!
An indescribable platinum-gold light, like the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe, surged out from the cracks in the palace doors without warning.
The light was not dazzling, but it carried a purity and majesty that transcended all things.
Its expansion speed transcends the concepts of time and space; wherever its will goes, the domain is instantly enveloped.
Whoosh--!
The platinum-gold light field instantly enveloped a vast area several light-years in diameter, encompassing the four Universe Masters were engaged in fierce combat, as well as some Universe Venerable were observing from afar.
The Annihilation Kingdoms of Qie Qiong are fundamentally different from the Domain Supreme Treasure.
If they are two ordinary Domain-type Supreme Treasures, once they are used, they will collide with each other, for example, just now, the Lord of Eternal Darkness's Eternal Darkness Star Curtain collided with another high-level Domain-type Supreme Treasure, "Ashen Remains Demon Domain".
But if the power were different—this wouldn't happen.
Although Qie Qiong's Time-Extinguishing Pearl is Domain Supreme Treasure.
However, the annihilated kingdoms it evoked were actually a kind of control over Space-Time, similar to the ability of Universe Master to control a Space-Time, only more powerful when displayed through the Time-Extinguishing Pearl!
This rendered all the Universe Master unable to control any particular Space-Time.
Control of Space-Time!
The moment the light domain descended, the four Universe Master sensed a deadly threat and almost instinctively activated their powers as Universe Master —the ability to Control of Space-Time!
It was useless, as if this area had always belonged to Qie Qiong, and they possessed the power to Control of Space-Time and time.
This Space-Time can no longer be controlled.
Consternation.
As the Universe Master, their Control of Space-Time was bestowed upon them by the Initial Universe. Therefore, all Universe Master should theoretically possess the same authority, but unexpectedly, it has become ineffective today.
The platinum-gold "Annihilation Kingdom" spanned several light-years, like an invisible divine hand, instantly stripping the four Universe Masters of their proud power to "Control of Space-Time."
This Space-Time seemed to have completely submitted to the will of Qie Qiong.
"Impossible!" A look of horror flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Eternal Darkness.
He had only ever experienced this feeling of being completely stripped of his Space-Time Control when facing the Universe Supreme Master.
"What kind of domain is this? How can it suppress the authority of the Universe Master?" the Lord of Bone Ashes exclaimed in shock.
The mysterious entity shrouded in the gray mist churned even more violently, letting out a muffled groan, clearly indicating it was under immense impact.
After a brief moment of shock, all four made the same decision.
Since we can't control Space-Time, let's deal with the people Control of Space-Time.
Moreover, the enhanced ability to Control of Space-Time was likely brought about by the Supreme Treasure within that palace.
If Qie Qiong already possessed this ability, why didn't she use it during the battle against the Lord of Sky Wolf?
If the Human Race possessed such Supreme Treasure, it would probably have been given to Fifth-Order Universe Master like the Chaos City Lord long ago.
"Eternal Darkness Cage! Suppress it!" The Lord of Eternal Darkness was the first to react, roaring. He no longer dared to hope to Control of Space-Time, but instead fully activated his advanced- Domain Supreme Treasure, "Eternal Darkness Star Curtain."
The deep dark domain suddenly contracted, condensing into a viscous, almost tangible torrent of darkness, like a roaring, shadowy serpent, rushing straight at Qie Qiong, who had just fully emerged from the palace gates!
"Ashen Remains God-Burning!" The Lord of Bone Ashes also let out a shriek, and the pale green "Ashen Remains Demon Domain" also shrank, transforming into a pale green pillar of fire that was condensed to the extreme. The power within it made even the Universe Venerables in the distance feel a stinging pain in their souls. This pillar of fire followed the dark torrent and crashed towards the Qie Qiong.
"Crystal Prism Storm!" The Rift Crystal Master was not to be outdone, but after all, he was Third-Order Universe Master.
His Domain Supreme Treasure was only at the level of Ordinary Supreme Treasure.
However, his most prized Supreme Treasure was a top-tier telekinetic weapon. He activated the "Crystal Prism," and countless crystals appeared in the void. Each of them was a treasure of great value, forming a crystal tornado that Strangulation towards Qie Qiong from the side.
The entity within the gray mist seemed to hesitate for a moment, but seeing the three attacks already launched, it also uttered a low shout, "Soul-Eroding Mist!"
Several condensed, almost tangible gray cones shot out from the churning gray fog, heading towards the location of Qie Qiong.
The other three Universe Masters, seeing this Universe Master's actions, flashed a hint of disdain in their eyes.
This mysterious being uses a weapon formed from ordinary Domain Supreme Treasures.
Four Universe Master, each unleashing a different attack, instantly tore through the void shrouded in Golden Light, all with only one target— the Jixing Palace Master!
Faced with this combined offensive that was enough to seriously injure an ordinary second-tier Universe Master, Qie Qiong's silver-gold eyes remained calm, even carrying a hint of mockery.
"Even a grain of rice can shine?" His indifferent voice echoed clearly in this space, "You are too weak!"
"Time-Extinguishing Pearl, open!"
With his low shout, the Time-Extinguishing Pearl, which fused the essence of Thunder Light, and light and whose surface was engraved with cosmic patterns, appeared in his palm and then suddenly lit up.
A burst of pure white light erupted.
Boom!
Centered on the Qie Qiong, an area with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers was instantly filled with endless white light.
This white light was pure and ethereal, yet it possessed a domineering power capable of annihilating all things.
The endless light, like a boiling ocean of light, instantly collided with the attacks from the four Universe Masters.
Sizzle--!
The dark torrent condensed by the Lord of Eternal Darkness was like ice and snow meeting fire; under the illumination of pure holy light, it emitted a violent melting sound, and its speed and power decreased sharply to the naked eye.
The Lord of Bone Ashes's pale green fire pillar was completely suppressed by the Holy Light. The pale green flames were suppressed to the point that they almost clung to the surface of the fire pillar, and their effectiveness was reduced to less than one-tenth!
The Rift Crystal Master's Crystal Prism Storm crashed into the domain, and the crystal blades seemed to sink into a swamp, emitting a harsh scraping sound and making it difficult to move forward.
The Soul-Eroding Mist Cone, which contained the gray mist, dissipated immediately upon entering the area.
"A supreme Domain Supreme Treasure!" Lord of Eternal Darkness exclaimed in shock.
"His domain—restrains me?!" The Lord of Bone Ashes flared wildly, feeling an instinctive disgust and fear.
All four of them felt a sense of disbelief.
This newly crowned Universe Master actually possesses a top- Domain Supreme Treasure?
They knew that the Human Race's Universe Master was wealthy, but they never imagined he was this wealthy.
It should be noted that top- Domain Supreme Treasures are only possessed by fourth- or even Fifth-Order Universe Master.
Like the Chaos City Lord of the Human Race.
Humanity is now offering the newly Universe Master a supreme Domain Supreme Treasure?
Especially that mysterious being, whose eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy.
However, this is just the beginning!
A sharp glint flashed in Qie Qiong's eyes.
"Annihilation Kingdom, merge!"
Buzz-!
The platinum-gold "Annihilation Kingdom" light domain, spanning several light-years, instantly merged perfectly with the domain spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers.
The brilliance of platinum infuses a pure white sea of light.
Boom!!
The moment the fusion was completed, the entire Space-Time seemed to be paused, and then a deafening roar like the Heaven Opening erupted!
The domain, which was originally a top-tier treasure of the Domain Supreme Treasure, underwent a qualitative transformation after being integrated with the "Annihilation Kingdom".
The pure white light was instantly tinged with a supreme platinum hue, as if it had transformed into a liquid platinum kingdom.
The entire domain is bound, annihilation force—all powers increase exponentially.
At the core of the domain, the triple phantoms of the Azure Falcon, Thunder Dragon, and Pegasus suddenly solidified, unleashing a deafening roar.
Hiss--!
The dark torrent condensed by the Lord of Eternal Darkness was like fragile black silk, easily torn apart by the platinum domain and completely dissipated.
Pfft--!
The Lord of Bone Ashes's pale green pillar of fire was extinguished by the Golden Light.
Click-!
Under the terrifying pressure of the Platinum Domain, the Rift Crystal Master's Crystal Prism Domain was instantly swallowed up.
Whoosh!
The mysterious realm vanished without a trace, without even causing a ripple.
The combined attack of the four Universe Master was utterly ineffective against the Time-Extinguishing Pearl Domain, which had merged with the "Annihilation Kingdom"!
They were utterly and irrevocably crushed!
"Puff!"
"Ugh!"
"No--!"
Damn it!
The backlash from the forced defeat of the attack caused the four Universe Masters to simultaneously groan or scream in pain.
The cloak of the Lord of Eternal Darkness fluctuated violently, and his aura visibly faltered; the soul fire in the skull sockets of the Lord of Bone Ashes dimmed slightly; fine cracks appeared on the crystal armor on the Rift Crystal Master; and the gray mist surrounding him thinned considerably in an instant, vaguely revealing a silhouette.
A terrifying domain, interwoven with platinum and holy light, like a giant platinum vortex, firmly enveloped the four of them.
The combined power of the "Time-Extinguishing Pearl" and the "annihilated kingdom" filled them with immense horror.
Qie Qiong of the Jixing Palace Master stood at the core of the Platinum Domain, clad in silver armor, holding the Time-Extinguishing Pearl in his hand, surrounded by three roaring beast shadows.
His icy gaze swept over the four powerful enemies whose faces were grim. The Sky-Splitting Sword in his hand emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and the silver-gray blade pointed at the four of them. The chilling killing intent made the Space-Time shrouded in Golden Light seem to freeze.
"Now," his voice was as cold as the winds of the deepest hell, "It's your turn to take my sword."
The hearts of the four Universe Master sank to the bottom in an instant.
They finally realized that the newly appointed "Jixing Palace Master" was definitely not the second-tier Universe Master they had been told about, whom they believed could be manipulated at will.
The top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure in his possession has given him terrifying combat power enough to crush any one of them, and even threaten the combined strength of the four of them.
A chaotic battle has only just begun, but the initiative is already in the hands of the Jixing Palace Master.
"Snort."
Seeing that it couldn't gain any advantage, the mysterious being snorted coldly and said nothing more.
They released the Palace Supreme Treasures, entered them, and then flew away.
However, upon seeing this Palace Supreme Treasures, the other three Universe Master exclaimed in shock, "The North Prison Lord!"
Upon hearing the words of the three Universe Masters, Qie Qiong was taken aback and realized the identity of this mysterious person—the traitor to humanity, Yan Emperor.
He remembered that, in order to hone his disciples, the Sitting Mountain Guest had deliberately forged the identities of the North Prison Lord Blood Cloud Palace Master, and that these two identities offended ninety-nine percent of the forces in the universe.
