1141: Chapter 1140 Suppressing Hei Long

Buzz—!

With Hei Long at the center, a darkness even purer, deeper, and vaster than the previous "Star Suppression" rapidly spread through the Void Realm like ink dripping into clear water!

This time, it was no longer a simple pressure or the light and shadow of a Divine Ability.

This was a true "Domain"!

A Tier 5 Powerhouse uses their comprehended Laws as a core to forcibly transform and dominate the space and rules of an area!

In an instant, the Void Realm within dozens of miles was completely swallowed.

There was no starlight here, no direction, and even the concepts of "distance" and "time" became blurred and distorted.

Only an endless, viscous darkness that seemed to possess life remained. Within this "Ever-Dark Black Prison," Hei Long was the sole Dominator! He could sense every minute change within the Domain and could freely manipulate the darkness to attack, defend, bind, or swallow!

The enemy's perception would be greatly weakened, their energy flow would become sluggish, and even their vitality would be slowly eroded and drained by this darkness!

Being in absolute control of his own Domain, Hei Long's confidence instantly returned, swelling even more than before.

He floated in the center of the Domain, his figure seemingly merging with the darkness. His voice came from all directions, grand and majestic, like a god of darkness passing judgment:

"Do you see, native?

This is the true form of a Tier 5 Powerhouse!

Within my Domain, I am the Law!

Your little hiding tricks have nowhere to hide under the insight of the Domain!

Your clever spatial methods will also fail under the suppression of the Domain's rules!

Now, kneel and offer up all your secrets, and perhaps I can still give you a chance to serve the Empire!"

The darkness surged like a living thing, condensing into countless hideous tentacles, sharp spears, and heavy shackles...

From every direction, carrying the intent of destruction and suppression, they slowly closed in on Dragon Xuanyuan, who still stood quietly in place.

However, facing this Domain pressure that would make even an ordinary Tier 5 Powerhouse take it seriously, Dragon Xuanyuan only shook his head slightly. A faint trace of... disappointment seemed to flash through his eyes?

"Domain?"

He whispered to himself, as if savoring the meaning of the word. "This is nothing more than one of your Divine Abilities. Although unique, it hasn't reached the level of becoming a self-contained Domain."

He looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of darkness to accurately "look" at Hei Long at the core of the Domain.

"A pity."

Dragon Xuanyuan slowly raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and tapped lightly toward the boundless "Ever-Dark Black Prison" that seemed capable of swallowing everything.

No light erupted.

No energy clashed.

No violent fluctuations from the collision of Laws occurred.

The moment his fingertip touched the darkness ahead—

Starting from that fingertip, a ripple so subtle it was almost imperceptible quietly spread out.

Wherever the ripple passed, the viscous and heavy "Ever-Dark Black Prison" that seemed to possess substance and dominate everything...

Like morning mist hit by sunlight.

Like a sandcastle blown away by a breeze.

Like pencil marks erased by an eraser.

Silently, it began to melt, disintegrate, and annihilate.

It wasn't broken by violence or countered by attributes, but rather a more fundamental and despair-inducing "negation."

It was as if the very "foundation" of the dark Domain, which Hei Long had spent a hundred years of hard work to condense and which was troublesome even for powerhouses of the same rank, was lightly wiped away by that finger.

"This... is impossible!!!"

At the core of the Domain, Hei Long's horrified roar sounded like a trapped beast being strangled.

He felt his connection with the "Ever-Dark Black Prison" being forcibly cut and stripped away by an incomprehensible power!

That was not a simple energy suppression or Law interference, but a... higher level of "suppression"!

He frantically channeled his Divine Power, trying to stabilize the Domain and regroup the Laws of darkness.

But it was all in vain. The ripple seemed slow, but was actually unimaginably fast. In just a billionth of a second, it had already spread to the entire boundary of the Domain.

Pop—

A sound so faint it was like a bubble bursting.

The "Ever-Dark Black Prison" covering dozens of miles of the Void Realm completely dissipated without a trace.

Hei Long's figure was once again exposed in the sky. His face was pale, his aura was in disarray, and his eyes were filled with shock and a look as if he had seen a ghost. He stared fixedly at the ordinary finger that had just been retracted and at its owner.

That was Dragon Xuanyuan, who remained expressionless as if he had only done something insignificant.

"You... have already merged with this planet...?!"

Hei Long's voice carried a sense of disbelief. He vaguely thought of something, but how could anyone use that method?

Dragon Xuanyuan did not answer his question, but simply took a step forward.

Just one step.

Yet it was as if the ground had shrunk. He instantly crossed hundreds of meters of the Void Realm and arrived in front of the distraught Hei Long.

The distance between the two was mere inches.

Hei Long's voice came to an abrupt halt. He could clearly see his own pale and horrified face reflected in the other's deep eyes.

"Now," Dragon Xuanyuan spoke calmly, his voice like the unchanging Laws of the starry sky, "it's your turn."

The horror and trembling in Hei Long's pupils reached their peak under Dragon Xuanyuan's calm, almost indifferent gaze, like a boiling pot of oil.

He saw death, he saw a void deeper than death, and he saw his proud "Ever-Dark Black Prison" Domain easily wiped away like a doodle on a beach.

The impact of this realization even surpassed his fear of death.

"No... you can't! I am the Vanguard Commander of the Black Cloud Empire! If you kill me, the Empire's army will surely..."

The desperate roar had not yet fully escaped his throat before it stopped abruptly.

Dragon Xuanyuan did not give him a chance to finish.

Without even any extra movement, he simply raised his finger again and made a light stroke toward the nearby Hei Long.

Hei Long's body silently disintegrated and dissipated, turning into countless minute streams of light that were invisible to the naked eye and could only be vaguely perceived by those with deep insights into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

These streams of light were not fragments of Hei Long's Divine Soul or consciousness, but the various Law dao marks he had spent his life comprehending.

Having lost the restraint of their host, they were instantly accepted and decomposed by the entire Blue Star. Like a stream flowing into the ocean or snowflakes falling into spring mud, they returned to the cycle of this world in the most natural and original way.

Hei Long, this battle-hardened Tier 5 Domain Realm powerhouse from the Black Cloud Empire who intended to conquer Blue Star, was completely annihilated, as if he had never existed in this Star Domain.

Dragon Xuanyuan slowly withdrew his finger and stood with his hands behind his back.

His face was calm, as if he had only brushed away a bit of dust from his sleeve.

But if there were a powerhouse of the same rank or even a higher Realm present, they would be able to vaguely perceive that at the moment Hei Long was strangled and all his "existence" was turned into dao mark energy to return to the world.

Dragon Xuanyuan's aura, which was already as deep as an abyss, seemed to undergo a very subtle yet fundamental change.

This made his aura, which was already as vast as the starry sky, appear increasingly restrained, yet also increasingly unfathomable.
