114: Chapter 114 Seventh-Rank Domain

Ji Hongyi knelt on the ground in agony, her hands clutching her throat tightly, her face turning purple and blue as if she had fallen into a breathless abyss.

The worst off was Dragon Battle; his muscles were taut as he smashed his fists against the hard floor one after another, breaking his knuckles until they were dripping with blood.

A Seventh-Rank Domain was an absolute dimensional suppression for these martial artists who were only at the Fourth-Rank!

However, Lin Yuan, who was at the very center of the domain and surrounded by tens of thousands of Thousand Faces clones, seemed completely out of place.

He didn't draw his blade, nor did he defend himself.

He even... closed his eyes.

"Have you given up resisting? Are you in despair?!"

Tens of thousands of Thousand Faces clones spoke simultaneously, attempting to destroy his sanity.

"In my domain, I will carve your flesh piece by piece, letting you taste the most extreme pain in this world!"

Facing this overwhelming mockery and killing intent...

"Illusion?"

"A domain?"

Lin Yuan slowly shook his head, his voice not loud, yet carrying a dominance that stood above all living beings.

"Flashy but useless."

"There's an old saying from my hometown, I wonder if you've heard it..."

Lin Yuan lifted his right leg, and in that instant...

The boiling True Dragon Blood Qi within his body, along with the new talent he had gained after breaking through to the Fourth-Rank and merging with the Heart of the Titan—

Titan Divine Power + true dragon marrow: Full Power Burst!!!

Base strength: 500 tons!

Stacked with the terrifying 300% boost of Titan Divine Power!

A full two thousand tons of world-ending force converged onto Lin Yuan's right foot at this moment!

"That saying is..."

"Absolute strength... overcomes all skill!"

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a fierce light erupting from his golden vertical pupils, and he stomped down hard on the indestructible floor beneath him!

BOOM!!!!!

Pure, ultimate physical vibration!

Two thousand tons of terrifying brute force exploded under his foot instantly!

The stone slabs, which even the Mechanical Spiders couldn't leave a mark on earlier, actually cracked and shattered under this single stomp!

Immediately after, a visible transparent shockwave swept out frantically in all directions with Lin Yuan as the center!

Before this world-destroying wave of pure physical vibration, mental illusions and spatial distortions were all as fragile as soap bubbles!

Those thousands upon thousands of Thousand Faces clones emitting Sixth-Rank fluctuations didn't even have time to scream before they shattered and were annihilated like phantoms under the terrifying sonic boom and vibration!

Before absolute power...

All techniques are but illusions!

"Pfft—!!!"

As the Thousand Faces Illusion Kill Domain was forcibly shattered by brute force, the true body of Thousand Faces floating in mid-air was struck as if by lightning.

He violently spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his eerie mask even developed cracks, revealing half of a pale and aged face beneath it.

"Impossible!! This is absolutely impossible!!!"

Thousand Faces clutched his chest, his figure swaying in the air, his eyes now filled with unprecedented shock and horror.

"Relying purely on physical strength... you shattered my mental domain?!"

"You monster... just how strong is your physical body?!"

Thousand Faces was afraid; he was truly terrified.

He had lived on this Starry Sky Ancient Road for over a hundred years and seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen anyone at this realm possess such an unreasonable, freakish physical body!

How was this even human?

"Escape! I must escape!"

The urge to retreat instantly rose in Thousand Faces' heart, and he turned to transform into purple mist to flee into the void.

"Think you can escape?"

"What?!"

Thousand Faces was horrified and looked up abruptly.

At some point, Lin Yuan's figure had vanished from his original spot; his speed had actually exceeded the speed of sound, leaving no afterimage as he appeared directly above Thousand Faces like he had teleported!

Accompanying him was the slaying abyss, which had just evolved into a Sixth-Rank Peak artifact!

"Now."

Lin Yuan held the hilt in a reverse grip with the tip pointing down, his eyes reflecting a coldness that looked down upon the world: "It's my turn."

Artifact Exclusive: Gravity Field (50x) Lock!!!

Buzz—!

Combined with the original fifty-fold gravity of the Titan Palace, a terrifying Gravity Field of a full hundred times slammed down onto Thousand Faces like a hundred thousand mountains!

"Ah!!"

Thousand Faces, who was about to flee, felt his body sink abruptly; his movements froze in mid-air, rendering him unable to move!

"Block it!! Block it for me!!"

In a life-or-death crisis, Thousand Faces let out a desperate roar, frantically pouring all his remaining mental energy into his arms.

He wore a pair of s-grade alloy bracers emitting a silver glow, which were his proudest life-saving trump card, claimed to be able to withstand three strikes even from a Seventh-Rank Peak attacker!

However, what he faced was two thousand tons of monstrous strength infused with Titan Divine Power, and a peerless, ominous blade that had evolved the God-Slaying trait!

Swish—!!!

The dark-gold blade light sliced down straight, like a dinner knife through butter.

Those supposedly indestructible s-grade alloy bracers didn't even last 0.01 seconds under the edge of slaying abyss before being cleanly halved!

The blade's momentum didn't slow, carrying its devastating power as it sliced into Thousand Faces' neck.

Lin Yuan's figure landed lightly on the ground, maintaining a kneeling posture on one knee, while behind him...

The body of the City Lord Thousand Faces, still in a blocking stance with his arms raised, hung stiffly in the air.

Half a second later.

Thud.

The head wearing the cracked mask, eyes wide and refusing to close in death, slid off the neck.

Immediately after, the headless corpse also crashed to the ground.

The ruler of the Starry Sky Thirty-Sixth City, the Seventh-Rank Grandmaster, Thousand Faces...

Had fallen!

"Time to eat."

Lin Yuan didn't even spare the corpse a glance and skillfully snapped his fingers.

god-demon furnace: Open!

The black vortex emerged behind him once more, coordinating with the Soul-Devouring Red Light on the slaying abyss's blade.

The Seventh-Rank Grandmaster's corpse, along with his vast mental origin, was ruthlessly drained and devoured within a few short seconds, finally turning into a pile of ash that scattered with the wind.

At that very moment, with the death of Thousand Faces, the illusion shrouding everyone's hearts finally dissipated completely.

Dragon Battle, Ancient Sword Soul, and Ji Hongyi scrambled up from the ground, drenched in sweat and gasping for air, the extreme fear brought by the illusion still lingering in their eyes.

"We... we survived?"

Ancient Sword Soul leaned on his sword and struggled to lift his head, wanting to see the situation on Lin Yuan's side and prepared to risk his life to help.

But in the next second, his gaze fell upon the pile of ash behind Lin Yuan and the shattered, blood-stained mask on the ground.

Dragon Battle and Ji Hongyi saw it too.

The three of them were like they had been hit with a freezing spell, collectively petrified on the spot.

A cold wind blew past, leaving the three of them dazed in the breeze.

"Cap... Captain??"

Dragon Battle swallowed hard and pointed at the mask on the ground:

"You, you just..."

"Took that Seventh-Rank City Lord and..."

"Insta-killed him?!"
