# Chapter 2279: Sea of Star Embers! Dark Forest
Venus looked at Zhong Yingxue, who had broken into the encirclement, with a face full of displeasure!
Where did this troublemaker come from?
High-temperature plasma? A bit troublesome, huh?
She had to know that plasma could also deal real damage to Bose Bodies!
"Since you're asking for death, don't blame... hiss~"
Before the words were finished, Venus's pupils contracted sharply. A Dimensional Gate instantly opened beside her, and without a second word, she dove inside!
Clearly, through the Whisper of the Divine, she had "seen" the consequences of a head-on collision!
Just then, Zhong Yingxue's gaze sharpened: "Mila!"
Mila beamed a brilliant smile: ∠(｀◡´*) "Got it!"
"Stolen Moment!"
In an instant, a golden sundial phantom appeared beneath Zhong Yingxue's feet. The moment the pointer began to turn, the world fell into stillness!
Mila's Stolen Moment could now steal three seconds of time!
In the midst of a battle between powerhouses, three seconds was enough to decide life and death!
In the frozen world, Zhong Yingxue, like a fiery meteor, charged straight into Venus's domain!
The golden halo covering her body carved a path through the extreme cold domain!
With a delicate hand grab, the annihilation halo transformed into a golden longsword, instantly slicing through Venus's arm!
Under the blazing high temperature, her arm was severed at the root, and even the entire arm was annihilated into nothingness by the heat!
As for why she didn't strike Venus's main body, it was because she was a step too slow—most of Venus's body had already hidden inside the Dimensional Gate, and Zhong Yingxue couldn't touch it.
Three seconds passed, the pointer returned to zero, time resumed flowing, and the world began moving again!
Venus made a Dimensional Leap and suddenly appeared from a great distance!
She didn't even know what had happened—one arm had vanished without a trace. At the wound, a halo swirled, eroding her main body like an inextinguishable flame!
Preventing her from regenerating!
Jiangnan looked at the armless Venus in shock. What just happened? Was that Mila's Stolen Moment? Did Xuexue go up and cut off Venus's arm? How did she do that? Was Transcendent-level Xuexue so powerful?
Venus's eyes turned bloodshot as she directly chopped off the arm stump where the flame was attached!
The severed arm rapidly regenerated!
"All of you, attack together! Kill her! Kill this bitch!"
"Domain Expansion: Silent Snowfall!"
The extreme cold domain came straight toward Zhong Yingxue, and the other Bose Bodies surged forward together!
Zhong Yingxue narrowed her eyes, stamped her foot, and her whole body transformed into a pure flame form!
"Domain Expansion: Sea of Star Embers!"
"Boom!"
A blazing red giant sun appeared in the starry sky, a raging sea of fire spreading like waves as the domain expanded!
Within the giant sun, a vague phantom of a nine-headed Phoenix bird spread its wings!
And the surface of the giant sun was covered with a layer of blazing annihilation halo!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
This golden halo pulsed like the heartbeat of the giant sun, blooming every few seconds and sweeping across the entire domain!
Everything within the domain, after the halo passed, turned into Sea of Star Embers and ceased to exist!
Almost no substance could withstand a single wave of the halo's sweep within Zhong Yingxue's Sea of Star Embers domain!
And Zhong Yingxue stood beneath the giant sun, arms outstretched, wearing a crown of blazing heat, like a Flame Goddess walking through the stars!
"Rumble!"
On one side was extreme cold, on the other extreme heat—the two domains collided with rumbling sounds!
The particles frozen by extreme cold were heated again and moved wildly!
As if splitting the starry sky into yin and yang, under the halo's sweep, the Silent Snowfall domain could not encroach even half an inch into Sea of Star Embers!
Jiangnan's mouth hung open as he stared blankly at the Sea of Star Embers before him!
(°ロ°๑) Damn! Is this Xuexue's domain? This is too cool, right? Such a deadly annihilation halo, sweeping every few seconds? Who could survive that?
Venus was furious: "Die!"
Two Dimensional Gates opened—one directly appeared inside Zhong Yingxue's domain, right in front of her!
Venus's hand reached inside and then came out from the other Dimensional Gate!
"Dimensional Descent!"
The high-dimensional descent directly turned the figure under Zhong Yingxue's giant sun into energy!
Jiangnan's heart skipped a beat!
However, the Sea of Star Embers domain did not dissipate. On the contrary! The annihilation halo erupted, directly burning off the arm Venus had extended!
From within the giant sun, Zhong Yingxue's figure stepped out, her gaze chilling!
"I bloom amidst the embers, like a flower blossoming at dawn! I reignite from the ashes, I am the blazing flame, I am the first beam of light in the Sea of Stars!"
As long as within the Sea of Star Embers domain, particles kept moving, there was temperature, and the flame was not extinguished—Zhong Yingxue was nearly impossible to kill!
Even the Bose Bodies dared not approach. At this moment, the Sea of Star Embers domain was an absolute forbidden zone for Bose Bodies!
Once entering, they would be annihilated by the halo!
Zhong Yingxue stood in the sunlight, looking at Jiangnan, a gentle smile spreading across her delicate face. She had been a bit angry, but after seeing Jiangnan, how could she stay angry?
Jiangnan's face flushed, but he still excitedly raised his hand and waved at Zhong Yingxue incessantly! (๑•̀ꇴ•́๑) "Xuexue, that was freaking awesome!"
But just as he finished shouting, Jiangnan suddenly felt a chilling sensation from behind!
From Jiangnan's shadow, a black figure suddenly shot out! Like a wolf pouncing on prey, it tightly wrapped around Jiangnan's neck from behind, executing a naked choke!
A series of mischievous laughter came from behind!
(ಡ⥎ಡ) "Caught you~ You heinous villain! Surrender now! Once you fall into the hands of this bounty hunter, Big Lang Mie, don't even think about escaping!"
"Soon I'll deliver you to the Xierde Guild and exchange you for an infinite bounty! Then I'll live a life of wealth and luxury, indulging in extravagance!"
"I imagine I, Big Lang Mie, will become famous across the starry sky and directly promote to a legendary bounty hunter, right?"
Jiangnan felt the familiar softness at his back and smelled the familiar scent, a curve lifting the corner of his mouth!
(〃乛◡乛) "Eh? Such a righteous sacrifice of family? Aren't you afraid of becoming a widow?"
Xia Yao's face flushed, she glared at him fiercely and tightened her arm!
(ᵒ̴̶̷◠ᵒ̴̶̷) "A tiny criminal dares to be glib and flirt with this bounty hunter? With some money, finding a handsome guy isn't hard!"
The next second, Jiangnan directly performed a Spatial Displacement with Xia Yao, and it became Jiangnan choking her neck!
(`~´) "Damn it! Let me go! How could this bounty hunter be subdued so easily? I'll bite you!"
Xia Yao's wheat-colored skin was visible as she struggled and kicked in Jiangnan's embrace!
The next moment, another Xia Yao rushed out from Jiangnan's shadow and choked his neck!
(՞ꇴ՞) "Hehe~ Trying to subdue me? You're still too green!"
Jiangnan: ??? (ﾟﾛﾟ) What the hell? Two... two Big Lang Mies? Where did they come from? Am I being pincer attacked? Even the softness and smell are exactly the same? What's going on? Doesn't that mean double the happiness?
Even those Bio-Tyrants couldn't stand it. Damn it, we're in a battle! And you two are flirting here? Can you show some respect? For a moment, the remaining Bio-Tyrants all charged toward Jiangnan! Their Spirit-Binding Field expanded to the limit!
Jiangnan's gaze sharpened: (ಠĹ̯ಠ) "Be careful, these silicon-based Bio-Tyrants come with a Spirit-Binding Field, hard to kill!"
Yet another Xia Yao popped out from Jiangnan's shadow, hands on her hips!
(ớ⥎ờ) "Hmph~ This criminal is already this bounty hunter's prey! Are there those without eyes trying to steal the job? They simply don't know how to spell death!"
"Let them know the might of this Lang Mie!"
The Spirit-Binding Field could indeed affect humans below the Transcendent level! But once one possessed their own domain, it's completely different!
Jiangnan was dumbfounded. Three? Three Xia Yaos?
Xia Yao's beautiful eyes narrowed: "Dark Night Monarch!"
At this moment, infinite darkness burst from the half-beast-transformed Xia Yao's body, spreading in all directions! Her silver hair, wolf ears, and even wolf tail turned the color of night, and so did her pupils! Her whole being darkened, with dark smoke rising from her body!
From that infinite darkness, wolf shadows made entirely of darkness stepped out, gradually transforming into Xia Yao's form! In the blink of an eye, there were more Xia Yaos on the field than tyrants, and each Xia Yao's aura was extremely terrifying!
Jiangnan was stunned. Damn? What kind of skill is this? Is it Big Lang Mie's Transcendent skill? How many times the happiness is this? I might not be able to handle it!
Xia Yao beamed a brilliant smile: "Domain Expansion: Dark Forest!"
The next moment, the darkness released by Xia Yao swelled, like a black curtain covering the sky, swallowing everything with darkness! In the sky, a silver full moon appeared, casting cold moonlight!
Within the domain, giant trees made entirely of darkness grew forth, like clawing demons under the moonlight! It truly formed a vast dark forest, with faint misty clouds drifting within, like night fog obscuring vision—that was transformed from the Polar Day Cloud Sea!
As long as within the Dark Forest, under the shroud of clouds, skills would be silenced and sealed! And those patches of dark giant trees were continuously absorbing and devouring the Bio-Tyrants' life force, dealing continuous damage!
The silver moon in the sky grew brighter and brighter!
Xia Yao, along with her shadow clones, stepped into the Dark Forest! She licked her crimson lips, red light blazing in her eyes!
"The forest in the night is the domain of the wolf pack! Your lamentations will compose a song that lasts all night!"
"Now—the hunt begins!"
