446: Chapter 446 Each Person's Reliance

Facing such an attack.

Even Xiao Weiqing, bathed in the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame, would be heavily injured if he took a direct hit from that claw. While the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame was superb for offense, it didn't mean its defense was equally formidable.

However.

Unexpectedly.

The sharp tiger claw stopped a hundred meters before Xiao Weiqing, as if it had sunk into a quagmire.

"A Domain?"

Demigod Huang Qi watched as a golden spherical shield blocked his attack, his face showing ruthlessness and a hint of jealousy.

He had campaigned through several civilizations.

He had seen geniuses like Xiao Weiqing before, and more than one.

But.

Not a single one possessed a Domain. Forget the Eighth Realm, not even those in the Ninth Realm had one.

In fact.

He had heard the Tiger God say that even among gods, those who possessed a Domain were extremely rare; it was the hallmark of a truly powerful being.

Among the thirteen gods of the Yao Race, only the Blood Moon God of the Lion Clan possessed a Domain; the other gods did not.

Inside the Domain.

Xiao Weiqing didn't know what Demigod Huang Qi was thinking, but he knew he had already placed himself in an invincible position. By compressing the Domain, he could form a very strong defense.

Through several exchanges.

Xiao Weiqing had roughly gauged his own strength. Against a Demigod who had just entered the Ninth Realm, he could kill them if he went all out. This included the Ox Clan Demigod being besieged by Xie Zhiyuan and the others on the other side; that one likely wouldn't be his match either.

If he faced a Peak Demigod like Huang Qi, relying solely on his own strength, he could currently only manage self-preservation.

Especially when the opponent also had Divine Soul attacks.

It was difficult for him to get close enough to use the Seamless Slash to kill him.

The energy within that Evil Qi was also terrifying; just touching it gave him a numb, stinging sensation. One had to remember that he had constructed a Super-grade Divine Body.

Xiao Weiqing guessed that Demigod Huang Qi's Bloodline must be extremely powerful, possibly the Tiger God Bloodline—the Bloodline Atavism he had heard about back in the Yao Race's Jin Clan.

That was the only way it made sense.

Demigod Huang Qi could deal with the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame because only star-grade power can counter star-grade power.

However.

Self-preservation wasn't what Xiao Weiqing wanted; he wanted to keep Huang Qi here.

He carefully sensed the position of the Star Lord Realm Nirvana Warrior inside the base.

Given Demigod Huang Qi's current distance, it wasn't safe enough. At less than three kilometers away, he feared the opponent might be able to react in time.

"I'll risk it."

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

With a look of determination, Xiao Weiqing's figure turned into a golden stream of light, taking the initiative to attack.

In the Flame True Body state, his speed reached its limit.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Demigod Huang Qi.

"Slash!"

Facing Xiao Weiqing's attack, Demigod Huang Qi didn't retreat but advanced instead.

He thought to himself that geniuses were all so foolish, actually taking the initiative to strike. Did he really think he was invincible just because he had a Domain?

Based on his judgment, Xiao Weiqing's Domain was only in its Elementary stage and could only be used for self-preservation. His application of it was also quite crude, which could be felt when he killed the Bear Tribe Demigod.

Otherwise.

Huang Qi would have turned and fled the moment he saw the Domain.

However.

Demigod Huang Qi wasn't in a hurry. He had a trump card given to him by the Tiger God, but he couldn't let Xiao Weiqing notice it, otherwise, it would be difficult to kill Xiao Weiqing later.

And so.

One human, one Yao.

Each with their own schemes, they continued to clash.

Xiao Weiqing repeatedly swung his blade, blade light blanketing the air. Demigod Huang Qi's tiger claws swept out, cutting through the Void Realm and tearing the blade light apart.

Golden flames drifted down from the sky. Some landed on Demigod Huang Qi's body, instantly leaving charred patches.

The vast majority scattered onto the ground.

Any Yao Race members touched by them died instantly.

Three minutes later.

Xiao Weiqing's eyes narrowed as he gripped ten thousand calamities with both hands, and massive energy erupted from his body.

"Mountain Elephant!"

A hundred-zhang blade beam slashed down with all its might.

Demigod Huang Qi was startled; he hadn't expected Xiao Weiqing to have more tricks. He quickly condensed Evil Qi on both arms and crossed them to block.

Boom!

The powerful force slammed Demigod Huang Qi's massive body nearly a hundred meters into the ground.

"Flame Dragon!"

Several golden dragons bit into that massive body, rendering it unable to move.

"A good opportunity!"

Xiao Weiqing's eyes lit up, and he shouted low:

"Thousand Shadows!"

Instantly.

Dozens of illusions appeared in the air, closing in on Demigod Huang Qi.

Demigod Huang Qi did not panic.

He repeatedly swung his tiger claws, and sharp wind blades of Evil Qi formed an airtight net that enveloped Xiao Weiqing.

In an instant.

Ninety-nine percent of the illusions were torn apart.

However, none of them were the true body.

At that moment.

A cold voice came from below.

"Die!"

The Domain reappeared, expanding to its limit with a diameter of a full two thousand meters, trapping Demigod Huang Qi. This was the current limit of what Xiao Weiqing could achieve.

"Seamless Slash!"

Horrified, Demigod Huang Qi swung his tiger claw, grabbing at the blade edge.

Inside the Domain.

The speed of ten thousand calamities' swing increased by more than ten percent, and its power also doubled.

It passed directly through the tiger claw, causing the grab to miss.

"Slash—!"

Puchi!

This strike.

Slashed into Demigod Huang Qi's shoulder blade, the five-meter-wide blade body burying itself entirely into his massive frame.

But.

That was as far as it went; ten thousand calamities was firmly stuck.

Demigod Huang Qi roared in pain.

Evil Qi condensed to continuously combat the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame.

Then, he performed an action that shocked Xiao Weiqing: he used his massive tiger claw to directly grab ten thousand calamities.

Sizzle— sizzle—

The sound of Jin Yan burning his body rang out, but Demigod Huang Qi didn't care.

He only gave a sinister smile.

"You've been fooled!"

Then.

Demigod Huang Qi's right claw suddenly slashed toward Xiao Weiqing.

A premonition of death descended, enveloping Xiao Weiqing. He was horrified, his hair standing on end.

He quickly let go of ten thousand calamities.

And retreated at high speed.

He contracted his Domain, compressing it to the absolute limit for defense.

However.

It was too late.

Xiao Weiqing could clearly see the difference between Demigod Huang Qi's right claw and his left.

It was as black as ink.

Three black rift blades flew out from the claw. The rift blades were silent, slicing through space and carrying the aura of death.

The rift blades' flight speed clearly wasn't fast, yet in an instant, they were already before Xiao Weiqing.

The golden Domain around him only slightly slowed the rift blades before they broke through. He felt as if he had already been locked on.

"Oh no!"

Xiao Weiqing realized things were bad and forcefully twisted his body to avoid his vital organs.

Puchi—

Hmph—

Xiao Weiqing clutched his severed arm, his face showing fear. Without any hesitation, he fled toward the base.

Demigod Huang Qi gave a sinister smile.

"So what if you have a Domain?"

"This is the Tiger God's claw. Even if I can't exert half of its power, it can still take your life."

With a move of his feet, Demigod Huang Qi chased after Xiao Weiqing. As long as he killed this person, no one in the Blue Star Civilization would be able to resist the Yao Race anymore.

Xiao Weiqing urged the Great Sun Burning Heaven Flame to expel the Evil Qi from his body and flew at top speed.

Demigod Huang Qi followed closely behind.

In just two seconds.

He caught up to Xiao Weiqing. Looking at the wretchedly fleeing human Genius, he felt an indescribable satisfaction.

"Die!"

Suddenly.

Huang Qi's Divine Soul shuddered violently, his back went cold, and his black fur stood on end. An extremely cold killing intent had locked onto him.

Danger!

He would die!

Without time to think, Demigod Huang Qi switched from offense to defense, bringing his right claw across his neck to protect his vitals.

And at that exact moment.

A dark shadow flashed by.
