148: Chapter 148 Domain of Light, Battle Domain

"You probably don't know what you're facing. To be honest, even I don't know how strong I am right now!"

Zhou Bai finally spoke at this moment, looking at Aaron Helens with a calm gaze.

"If you can give me a satisfying fight, I would be very grateful to you!"

"Arrogant!"

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Aaron Helens' expression turned incredibly cold.

Violent Light Spirit Energy surged fiercely within his body. Though it hadn't erupted yet, the faintly emanating aura seemed as if it would tear the surrounding space apart.

Seeing the two at loggerheads, the surrounding ability users became even more expectant of their duel.

Ye Wushang, Mu Qinghuang, and the others from Xia Country were also staring fixedly at the stage ahead.

Especially Ye Wushang, whose heart was somewhat uneasy.

He had fought Aaron Helens before and knew how terrifying he was. Although they were both Sixth-Rank, there was a vast chasm of difference between him and ordinary Sixth-Rank geniuses.

"Time's up, let the battle begin!"

Shortly after, Ivan announced the start of the battle.

"Boom!!!!!"

Just as Ivan finished speaking, an exceptionally terrifying Light Spirit Energy erupted from Aaron Helens' body.

Especially the spiritual apertures within his body, which were gushing with vast amounts of spiritual power.

This Light Spirit Energy surged out from Aaron Helens' spiritual apertures, covering the entire stage in an instant.

The entire stage became blindingly bright; shrouded by countless Light Spirit Energys, the stage completely transformed into a Light Domain.

Within the Light Domain, Aaron Helens was like a Holy Envoy of Light. Just looking at him gave one a profound sense of oppression, as if facing a deity.

"My god, Aaron Helens has opened eleven spiritual apertures!"

"To think he's this terrifying. No wonder Aaron Helens is so confident; he actually has eleven spiritual apertures..."

"How on earth did this guy do it? Eleven spiritual apertures... that's just too heaven-defying..."

At this moment, an ability user from Perfume Country seemed to have discovered something and cried out in surprise.

The other ability users also cried out, their eyes filled with extreme wariness as they looked at Aaron Helens.

The opening of spiritual apertures is the most crucial aspect for a Sixth-Rank Esper.

The greater the number of spiritual apertures, the more heaven and earth spiritual power the body can draw upon, and the more terrifying the power that can be unleashed in battle.

Those top-tier geniuses usually aim for nine spiritual apertures; being able to open nine is already very rare.

Ten spiritual apertures require overcoming countless difficulties, combined with top-tier talent and opportunities to achieve.

Eleven spiritual apertures are even more unprecedented and world-shaking, rare throughout the ages.

Now, Aaron Helens' eleven spiritual apertures made the scalps of many ability users tingle.

"Swish swish swish!!!!"

By now, Aaron Helens, within the Light Domain on the stage, had already condensed a large number of light spiritual swords.

These light spiritual swords formed behind Aaron Helens and charged toward Zhou Bai with the power to tear everything apart.

Zhou Bai slowly raised his head, without a hint of fear in his eyes. Activating Nine Shadows Void Escape, his body turned into an afterimage, swiftly dodging the impact of these powerful spiritual swords.

"Buzz!!!!"

Seeing Zhou Bai dodge the impact of these light spiritual swords, Aaron Helens wasn't surprised. He once again activated the Light Spirit Energy within his body.

In an instant, even more Light Spirit Energy rapidly condensed, transforming into various ancient weapons.

Sabers, spears, swords, halberds... all sorts of weapons shuttled back and forth within the Light Domain, seemingly intent on destroying everything in the vicinity.

Soon, the entire Light Domain seemed to be covered by attacks.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

In the southeast direction of the stage, sounds of intense collisions rang out as Zhou Bai's afterimage was hit.

However, Zhou Bai had already activated his Thunder Armor. The Thunder Armor formed from Chaos Divine Thunder provided him with extremely strong defensive power.

Furthermore, Zhou Bai's Indestructible Thunder Body had already reached the fifth stage, making his physical body comparable to a Sixth-Order Fierce Beast.

His absolute physical strength, combined with the defense provided by the Chaos Divine Thunder, allowed Zhou Bai to easily block the impact of these light weapons.

"So your attacks are this weak. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered dodging!"

Seeing that these light weapons were completely unable to threaten him, Zhou Bai slowly raised his head and looked calmly at Aaron Helens not far away.

After saying that, Zhou Bai's body shot out fiercely once again, heading straight for Aaron Helens.

"Sizzle!!!!"

Simultaneously, the black Chaos Divine Thunder transformed into twin blades, emanating a power that could tear the heavens and earth in Zhou Bai's hands.

Aaron Helens' eyes narrowed slightly. A massive amount of Light Spirit Energy poured out from his body once more, forming series of light shields in front of him.

Because he had eleven spiritual apertures and was within the Light Domain, his spiritual power seemed infinite, allowing him to freely unleash various light spiritual arts.

"Bang!!!!"

Zhou Bai's black thunder twin blades slashed against Aaron Helens' light shields, producing an incredibly violent collision sound.

Strike after strike, each of Zhou Bai's slashes stacked the powerful amplification of the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber.

When the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber stacked to ten times the combat power, the terrifying destructive force quickly tore through the light spiritual shields condensed by Aaron Helens.

Soon, after shattering the light spiritual shields in succession, Zhou Bai rushed in front of Aaron Helens and slashed out directly with the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber.

"Sizzle!!!!"

The black thunder blade directly tore through Aaron Helens' body.

However, there was no blood, only particles of light dispersing.

Clearly, this Aaron Helens was not his true body but a phantom condensed from Light Spirit Energy.

"You really do have some skill, but unfortunately, this is my Light Domain. Within my domain, I am invincible!"

After a moment, Aaron Helens' voice drifted over.

In a nearby area, another body of Aaron Helens condensed. He looked down at Zhou Bai with utter disdain, like a deity.

"This is bad. The advantage of eleven spiritual apertures is too great. Within the domain, Aaron Helens can cast spiritual arts at will..."

Ye Wushang murmured in a low voice while watching the battle on the stage.

"If Zhou Bai can't find a way to break this, it will be a difficult fight once his spiritual power and Qi and Blood Power are exhausted..."

Hearing Ye Wushang's words, everyone unconsciously clenched their fists.

The surrounding ability users also stared intently at the battle on the stage, not wanting to miss a single second.

"Your Light Domain is indeed not bad; it's enough to give me a bit of satisfaction!"

On the stage, Zhou Bai remained expressionless and said calmly,

"Battle Domain, open!!!"
