Boom~~~~
Standing there, Dongbo Xueying suddenly unleashed countless crimson ripples from his body, surging outward in all directions like tidal waves of an ocean, overwhelming the heavens and earth!
The numerous incarnations of the Red Fiend God Emperor, which had been besieging Dongbo Xueying, trembled violently under the crimson ripples before dissipating instantly. These incarnations, each with physical strength comparable to the elite guardians of the Mother Ancestor Sect, were utterly powerless against the crimson ripples—scattering upon contact. This sight truly shocked the Red Fiend God Emperor.
“What… how is this possible?” The Red Fiend God Emperor recoiled in terror, retreating frantically.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
He pulled back at extreme speed.
Dongbo Xueying stood unmoving as the crimson ripples expanded outward, their range growing continuously—thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles. The distant spectators, including the Eldest Prince ‘Jiao Yunteng’ and his subordinates, were forced to retreat even further in fear.
For now, Dongbo Xueying restrained the ripples after they spread across tens of thousands of miles.
“What kind of technique is this?”
“How can it be so powerful? Even the Red Fiend God Emperor’s incarnations were annihilated instantly!” The Third Prince Jiao Yunliu and his guards were utterly stunned. Guard Shan Dan could hardly believe it—this was the same man he had casually recruited as a mere guardian. Yet now, he was unleashing a crimson ripple domain capable of sweeping away the Red Fiend God Emperor’s incarnations. Such power was undoubtedly at the level of a Paragon!
The Third Prince was both shocked and overjoyed. “Have I truly turned my luck around? To have someone like Dongbo serving as my guard?”
But he did not know—
Given Dongbo Xueying’s temperament, if not for the Third Prince’s generous treatment of his subordinates and his own urgent need to study other cultivation systems for reference, he would never have agreed to serve as a guard so easily.
…
Dongbo Xuehovered in mid-air, gazing at the wary Red Fiend God Emperor lurking just beyond the reach of his crimson ripples.
“What’s wrong, Red Fiend God Emperor? Are you afraid? You don’t even dare to step into my domain?” Dongbo Xueying taunted with a smile. “If you’re scared, then you’ll never obtain the Black Fiend Sacred Fruit.”
The Eldest Prince Jiao Yunteng grew anxious.
Indeed.
Without defeating this terrifying ‘Dongbo Guard’ who had appeared out of nowhere, how could he possibly seize the Black Fiend Sacred Fruit from his younger brother?
“Red Fiend God Emperor,” the Eldest Prince called out, his gaze shifting to the towering figure.
The Red Fiend God Emperor’s single eye locked onto Dongbo Xueying.
As a Paragon, his pride and dignity would not allow him to retreat.
“I refuse to believe that a mere guardian’s domain can kill me.” With eerie calmness, the Red Fiend God Emperor flew toward the crimson domain. As he approached, his hand naturally reached out first to touch the rippling energy.
Whoosh!
The crimson domain suddenly expanded, instantly engulfing him.
The Red Fiend God Emperor’s expression flickered as he glanced at Dongbo Xueying’s faintly amused expression in the distance. But he said nothing, focusing instead on the invisible crimson ripples eroding his own rule-based domain, seeping into his body and wreaking havoc. Countless crimson tendrils coiled around him, growing tighter with every passing moment. Most unnerving of all, no matter how he moved or flew, the restraints intensified over time, and the damage within his body steadily worsened.
“This is…”
The Red Fiend God Emperor immediately recalled a legendary technique from another cultivation system he had once studied.
“The Domain of Slaughter?” He stared at Dongbo Xueying in disbelief.
“Not quite. It’s far from the true power of the Domain of Slaughter,” Dongbo Xueying replied with a smirk.
“What? The Domain of Slaughter?”
“The Domain of Slaughter from the Cosmic Emissary cultivation system?”
The two princes and their guardians in the distance felt a chill run down their spines.
In the Cosmic Emissary system, those who reached the Paragon level could directly harness the fundamental energies of the universe, unleashing terrifying power. Among them, the Slaughter lineage had a legendary technique—the Domain of Slaughter. According to their system, only a Paragon capable of channeling the universe’s innate slaughter energy could manifest such a domain.
Within the Domain of Slaughter… enemies perished the moment they entered! Even the strongest foes could only barely survive, but once trapped, their injuries would worsen continuously while the domain’s restraints grew ever tighter. Moreover, the wielder of the domain would gain enhanced combat prowess within it. Theoretically, no Paragon, no matter how powerful, could escape death within it!
Of course, that was just theory.
Because in the ‘Demon Mountain Universe,’ no one could control the universe’s fundamental energies.
“How could he possibly master the Domain of Slaughter?”
“Our universe was created by the Primordial Ancestor—its fundamental energies cannot be controlled!” The two princes found it utterly unbelievable, while their guards were equally dumbfounded.
…
Dongbo Xueying, however, knew the truth.
Long ago, he had discovered that the Slaughter lineage of the Cosmic Emissary system could greatly aid his own cultivation. He had asked the Third Prince to gather all related techniques for him to study. Through relentless research, his understanding of the ‘Path of Slaughter’ deepened. But in the process, he also began analyzing these techniques from the perspective of rule-based profundities. He realized that these techniques incorporated other paths—such as the Path of Ripples, the Path of Flames, the Path of Annihilation, and more.
Clearly, the Cosmic Emissary system amalgamated all elements that could enhance slaughter, unlike his home universe, where rule-based profundities were meticulously categorized.
Dongbo Xueying discovered that the ‘Domain of Slaughter’ was primarily composed of the Path of Slaughter and the Path of Ripples. The latter was widely utilized in the Cosmic Emissary system, and through studying numerous techniques, he had gradually accumulated profound insights into ripples.
During his ten million years in his home universe, he had pioneered the Path of the Void and the Path of Slaughter.
And in these thirty million years… Dongbo Xueying had forged a third path—the Path of Ripples! Moreover, he had elevated it to the pinnacle, nearing its ultimate bottleneck.
By merging the Path of Slaughter and the Path of Ripples, he had reconstructed and perfected the ‘Domain of Slaughter’ from the perspective of rule-based profundities. After countless years, Dongbo Xueying had finally created his most formidable secret art in thirty million years—the Domain of Slaughter! Though it still fell short of the original, he was confident that this was only because neither of his two paths had yet reached eternity.
Once they did…
His ‘Domain of Slaughter’ would undergo a qualitative transformation! The Cosmic Emissary system’s version relied on harnessing the universe’s fundamental slaughter energy, but his version was rooted in rules. The stronger the rules, the stronger the domain.
“Within the Domain of Slaughter, my power far surpasses what it was before.” Dongbo Xueying grinned, gripping his spear with one hand while casually swinging it with the other.
Slash! Thrust! Sweep! Pierce! Guide! Entangle!
Each seemingly casual strike resonated with the domain’s ripples, manifesting attacks around the Red Fiend God Emperor as if executed at point-blank range—unpredictable and bizarre.
“I refuse to believe this is all a Paragon like you has to offer. Show me your true strength!” Dongbo Xueying’s cold voice echoed. Defeating this Paragon was not his primary goal; what mattered was using this battle to test his own limits!
“If you don’t unleash your full power soon, you’ll lose.” His words reverberated across the battlefield.
The two princes and their guards watched in stunned silence.
A mere guardian, daring to be so arrogant? Flaunting his advantage while demanding his opponent to fight harder? Such audacity!
“Fine. Fine.” The Red Fiend God Emperor’s fury burned. “I came to the Demon Mountain Universe to cultivate, never expecting to be forced to reveal my full strength by a mere guardian like you. Very well…”
His single eye suddenly turned pure white.
Boom!
A blinding, bone-chilling cold erupted, freezing even the surrounding formations, causing them to crack. The Third Prince and his retinue, hidden within their palace, watched intently.
The crimson Domain of Slaughter still churned violently, though its movements were visibly subdued under the oppressive cold.
Dongbo Xueying’s body flickered between illusion and reality as the terrifying cold seeped into his Void World and his flesh.
“Defeating a Paragon truly isn’t easy,” he mused, observing the Red Fiend God Emperor, now clad in a suit of white armor, his aura vastly amplified.
“The last time I unleashed my full strength was when the Demon Mountain Universe conquered my homeland,” the Red Fiend God Emperor roared. “Since a mere guardian like you seeks death, I’ll grant your wish!”
The Red Fiend God Emperor had descended into true, unbridled fury.
Seeing this, Dongbo Xueying’s lips curled into a faint smile.
