Chapter 1226: The Power of the Domain (Fourth Update)
The heavenly soldiers and generals on the city wall were horrified, staring blankly at the scene before them.
The city gate commander immediately ordered a squad of divine demons to go out of the city and investigate.
Just then, a series of enormous footprints appeared in front of the divine city, as if an invisible giant was running. Not only that, but where the giant ran, cracks suddenly appeared in the air, cracks dozens of miles long that were shocking to behold!
That squad of divine demons was instantly torn apart, dying inexplicably in a flash.
"What demon dares to stir up trouble here?" the city gate commander shouted sternly.
Boom!
The void shook violently, and a dragon-head-shaped imprint suddenly emerged, followed by a huge palm print, causing even the divine city to feel intense spatial fluctuations!
Not only that, but the footprints seemed to be moving backward, approaching the divine city at great speed.
"What exactly are those footprints?"
The gods were filled with dread. The Heavenly Eye Clan's divine beings pierced through the void and darkness, glimpsing the Netherworld and seeing the scene within. They shouted sharply, "There are powerful experts fighting in the Netherworld! Their combat strength is immense, and they can affect reality from the Netherworld! Everyone be careful!"
Boom, boom, boom—
A series of spatial tremors came. In front of the divine city, various imprints appeared—fist marks, blade scars, formation patterns, and more. Something was fighting fiercely in the Netherworld, causing such a massive impact on reality!
Suddenly, Bai Yuqiong's voice came from within the divine city: "Westfall Legion, hear my command! Activate the guardian formation! Anyone who breaks through from the Netherworld will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers acknowledged the order and immediately activated the formation, standing ready.
The guardian formations of each divine city were designed by the Four Heavenly Masters, possessing immense power. Although they were not the top formation masters of the Heavenly Court, their mastery of formations was still extraordinary.
If the enemy truly was a powerful expert from the Netherworld, they would certainly fall into the designed formation and might even be annihilated in one blow!
The gods and demons in the city breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Yuqiong ascended the city wall and looked down from a height, her heart trembling slightly. "This person's strength is extraordinary. But this should be the territory guarded by the Netherworld Emperor. How could someone enter his domain?"
Bai Yuqiong said solemnly, "Investigate the Netherworld scene and report to me. I want to see which experts are fighting!"
The army's Heavenly Eye users probed the Netherworld, searching for them.
Actually, there was no need to search. Qin Mu and Yu Wufei's battle was extremely grand, even affecting reality. Finding them was not difficult.
But the hard part was seeing their faces clearly.
Both of them had formidable cultivation bases and did not want their true faces to be seen. Moreover, their speed was too fast, so even the Heavenly Eyes of the Westfall Legion could not clearly identify them.
Furthermore, Netherworld divine abilities had a peculiar trait: seeing their faces would cause one to forget them.
Bai Yuqiong waited for a long time but received no report from the Heavenly Eye users. She was puzzled. "Could it be that the Netherworld Emperor, that pretty boy, is trying to ambush me again?"
Just then, the ground in front of the divine city suddenly twisted and deformed. A vast, ancient power came from the Netherworld, altering the geography, lifting the earth, and causing yin and yang energies to spread, along with various strange forces erupting.
Then, countless stars appeared in the sky, and even another Netherworld was born within the Netherworld itself!
This power contained an extremely peculiar aura of the Great Dao, making Bai Yuqiong's heart skip a beat. "A domain! Someone is using their own Dao domain!"
The Dao domain, also known as the Domain of the Way, included the Supreme Emperor's unparalleled divine sense domain and the Heavenly Lord Kai's sword domain. To cultivate a Dao domain, one needed a deep understanding and comprehension of the Dao, even pioneering it.
Throughout the world, those who had entered the Dao were few and far between, but those who had cultivated a Dao domain were even rarer.
Bai Yuqiong had never seen the Heavenly Lord Kai's sword domain, but she had heard that he once wielded his sword and charged into the Heavenly Court, fighting against Heavenly Lord Hao and nearly splitting the Heavenly Court apart!
Among the two fighting in the Netherworld, one had unfolded a Dao domain, vast and ancient, and it felt extremely peculiar, different from the sword domain, divine sense domain, and other famous domains.
This Dao domain encompassed many Daos, shocking her deeply. She wondered what kind of Dao domain this person had.
She wanted to enter the Netherworld to take a look, but that was the Netherworld Emperor's territory. Although the Netherworld Emperor served in the Heavenly Court alongside her, the two had a deep-seated hatred, and she dared not easily step into his domain.
Within that Dao domain, she could see a clear line. It should be another person, using an incredibly powerful force to break into the domain, charging straight toward the expert at the center.
This person's cultivation was extremely strong, actually breaking through the Dao domain and even damaging it.
Just then, the Dao domain suddenly became complete again, forming an encirclement against the intruder!
"The other person in the fight is likely in grave danger!"
Bai Yuqiong was clever and quickly assessed the situation. She thought to herself, "Is the Netherworld Emperor fighting someone? Has he cultivated a Dao domain? Impossible. Although this pretty boy's strength is high, his comprehension of the Dao is not that strong..."
Boom—
That Dao domain suddenly split open along a line. With a loud crash, the ground for a thousand miles was torn apart. On both sides rose magnificent mountains and rivers, with a deep canyon in the middle!
In the Netherworld, Yu Wufei charged into Qin Mu's Divine Treasury Domain, rampaging straight into the Ancestral Court. However, the next moment, all the power of the Great Dao in Qin Mu's domain erupted!
Yu Wufei immediately sensed danger and activated her divine abilities with all her might, clashing head-on with Qin Mu.
From the perspective of the Netherworld, this clash of divine abilities only showed the sudden emergence of magnificent mountains and rivers stretching a thousand miles. But the scene here was terrifyingly real.
Although Yu Wufei was at the Lingxiao realm, facing an opponent like Qin Mu, who could not be measured by traditional realm standards, she still felt the great terror of life and death.
"But my skills are not limited to this!"
Yu Wufei was about to mobilize all her power when, at that moment, a vast divine sense surged toward her. Although Yu Wufei's technique could mobilize the power of other gods, she could not match Han Tianjun in terms of divine sense.
Han Tianjun could merge the divine sense of others, elevating his own divine sense to a level comparable to Qin Mu's, but Yu Wufei could not.
Although her cultivation was high, her understanding of the Dao was not very deep.
Han Tianjun, on the other hand, was the foremost expert in formation techniques in the Heavenly Court, far surpassing Yu Wufei in Dao comprehension.
The traditional Divine Treasury and Heavenly Palace system focused on power, not on understanding the Dao. As a result, those with high cultivation realms might have a lower comprehension of the Dao than those with lower realms.
Yu Wufei was struck by this supreme Da Luo divine sense, becoming dazed and losing control of her own power. The next moment, all the power of Qin Mu's Divine Treasury Domain erupted—seventeen Heavenly Palaces, the Dao techniques of the Xuan Du, Netherworld, Yuan Du, Tian Yin, Four Extremes Heavens, and other worlds, all accompanying Qin Mu's strike as it slammed into Yu Wufei!
Just as he struck Yu Wufei, a bell suddenly rang.
Qin Mu's mind roared. An inexplicable force surged toward him, causing his primordial spirit to feel as if it were falling into an endless abyss.
"The Dao of Reincarnation? This bell is very strong!"
—Today is still four updates. Yesterday, I took my daughter to the hospital for a check-up. She has a bunch of problems, which is troubling. First, a nasal polyp blocking her nostril, plus swollen throat lymph nodes, bronchial inflammation. After surgery two years ago, her left and right legs have not recovered evenly—the right leg is two centimeters longer than the left. It's troubling, a lifelong issue. Still four updates today. I'll stay up late to write tomorrow's draft.
