Chapter 262 - Ten Thousand Miles of Starry Sky

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The seawater soared into the sky, directly rushing towards Guan Gu.

He retaliated with his palm!

A huge amount of Heaven Earth Origin Qi surged in response to his movements.

Boom!

The water exploded into sprinkles that filled the sky as he blasted open a path through the jade colored waves.

The water splashed on his body, sending a chill through him.

But with this delay, the enemy behind him had arrived!

Bang!

Another punch landed on Guan Gu’s back.

Within the domain, the Heaven Earth Origin Qi that was driven by the Black Scale Race’s expert was even more powerful.

The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi barrier on Guan Gu’s body was directly pierced through! The Qi-force invaded his body, but Guan Gu did not dare to counterattack. He merely borrowed this powerful force to fly out again!

However, right now, there were several more Black Scale Race experts in front of him!

In the combined domain, all the Black Scale Tribe members’ combat strength was strengthened!

Guan Gu’s expression was extremely ugly!

He knew that he was being held back.

“Damn it, I wonder if I can hold on until reinforcements arrive?”

Questions arose in Guan Gu’s heart.

However, he knew that since he couldn’t escape, then he could only fight!

Guan Gu looked at a 1st Grade Heaven Rank Black Scale Tribe member and charged straight towards him!

However, that fellow only smiled cunningly. A jade wave surged into the sky and covered his figure. The Black Scale Tribe member fell straight into the seawater below. At this moment, the others once again launched their attacks at Guan Gu!

The Black Scale Race’s 5th Grade Heaven Rank expert had also arrived by then. He raised his fist and smashed it towards Guan Gu!

It had to be said that Old Guan was quite capable.

Under this disadvantage, he still managed to start a fierce battle with the Black Scale Race expert!

Both sides continued to fight, but Guan Gu was at a disadvantage. After all, the other party still had helpers. Under the circumstances of being besieged, wounds began to appear on his body!

Splat!

Guan Gu’s back was slashed by one of the claws.

Blood flowed!

However, in just a moment, the wound began to heal.

5th Grade Heaven Rank, Auto Restoration of the Fleshly Body!

Compared to Su Wen’s Undying and Imperishable, this ability was still a little lacking. It could not heal fatal injuries.

However, even so, it was still very useful in actual combat. However, this self-healing did not require a large amount of his own Qi. This was an advantage over the technique of Undying and Imperishable.

Right then, a calm voice sounded.

“Hmph! Trash, there are so many people fighting one, and you still can’t take him down!”

As he spoke, a black aura shot down from the sky!

Guan Gu was currently in an intense battle with the person in front of him, unable to react in time!

He was hit directly!

Boom!

This attack almost instantly blasted apart the Heaven Earth Origin Qi barrier around Guan Gu’s body.

Guan Gu fell straight down from the sky!

The seawater below scattered, revealing the ground! Guan Gu was ruthlessly smashed into the ground.

“Puuu!”

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Guan Gu’s internal organs were badly shaken and injured from the fall.

Shock flashed across his eyes!

Another expert had arrived!

He was extremely certain that this person had come later, because the Star Disk had not sensed anything before this.

Unfortunately, before he could do anything, a black shadow fell at an extremely fast speed!

Bang!

A tall man stepped on Guan Gu’s body.

He was also a member of the Black Scale Tribe, but he was taller than the people around him. The scales on his body were also darker.

His eyes were cold and heartless as he looked down at Guan Gu.

Powerful Origin Qi surged into the Guan Gu and continuously destroyed his internal organs.

“Lord Cha Ma!” All the Black Scale tribesmen bowed.

This expert named Cha Ma looked at Guan Gu, who was lying on the ground.

He stretched out his palm and a large amount of Heaven Earth Origin Qi gathered.

Guan Gu closed his eyes in despair. He knew that he was dead for sure.

Boom!

Qi force shot out in all directions.

Meanwhile, Guan Gu was surprised to find that he was not dead yet.

Meanwhile, Cha Ma had already moved more than ten meters away.

He looked at the bloody hole in his hand, before lifting his head to see Su Wen who had just appeared.

The bloody hole quickly healed.

Meanwhile, a smile appeared on Su Wen’s face.

The Sunfire Golden Awl had pierced through the fellow’s hand.

However, Su Wen did not let the Holy Flames explode this time round.

He had no choice. This was not a game, and he could not deactivate the option for friendly fire.

If it exploded, Guan Gu would probably suffer as well.

He directly landed beside Guan Gu and smiled. “Old Guan, how are you?”

“Lord Su…”

Guan Gu got up from the ground. At this moment, there was still a large amount of Qi forces within his body that was continuously destroying his body.

This was a common tactic used by the high Grade Heaven Rank cultivators.

They would try their best to inject their own Qi into his opponent’s body to prevent the opponent from healing their injuries quickly.

This would also help to reduce the opponent’s combat strength.

Guan Gu looked at Su Wen, his eyes were filled with shock. According to the group positions, Su Wen was the one who was further away from Guan Gu.

However, he was the first to arrive.

However, this was not what shocked him the most!

What he could not accept the most was that Su Wen actually managed to pierce through Cha Ma’s palm with a single finger!

In Guan Gu’s senses, this Cha Ma was at least a 6th Grade Heaven Rank.

Furthermore, each grade of Heaven Rank was a qualitative change!

In terms of battle prowess, the difference between a 5th and 6th Grade Heaven Rank was completely different.

What was Su Wen’s cultivation base?

Hadn’t he just broken through not long ago?

Didn’t he say that he was also severely injured during the battle with Xiang Feng?

But now was not the time to ask.

He could only try his best to expel the Qi from his body, holding back all his questions.

Cha Ma looked at Su Wen with a solemn expression.

“Combined domain!” He roared out.

Cha Ma also merged in his domain.

The surrounding water vapor intensified.

Su Wen looked at the water curtain that covered the sky!

But he simply smiled and took a step forward!

In the next second, the water curtain shattered!

The Black Scaled Tribe’s combined domain was broken through.

It was as if the surroundings had fallen into a boundless universe. Stars swam and white dragons danced. The aura present completely exceeded the understanding of the Black Scaled Tribe!

“How is that possible? Are you a Saint?”

They had never seen such a vast domain before.

Cha Ma belatedly realized that he was actually trembling!

The vast domain spanned thousands of miles.

Within Su Wen’s domain, all the people fighting and all the domains present shattered.

The Human and Demon races were both shocked!

They had no idea how someone could have such a vast and powerful domain.

Su Wen was also helpless about this, ‘Don’t blame me if my domain is too big!’

At the core, a domain was actually the effect of a cultivator’s martial comprehension on the surroundings.

It was similar to toeing the line between reality and the illusory.

Some of the elements were real, but some were illusory.

Wu Kunhu was also enveloped by Su Wen’s domain.

His eyes were filled with shock. Whose was this?

Who could have such a powerful domain?

There was no end of the domain in sight…

Behind the demons, a man with a single horn on his head stood up.

He opened his eyes, revealing a pair of golden orbs.

The Demonic Tribe!

(TL Note: Not to be confused with the Demon Race, they are likely to be the top dogs in the Demon Race.)

“Whose domain is this?”

BAM!

His domain opened at the same time.

In an instant, the starry sky around him shattered.

Demonic Qi surged rampantly.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered, “His domain is not bad, but it’s not enough to suppress me. In that case, let’s fight! I want to see what kind of person he is!”

The moment he moved, Su Wen sensed something.

He looked into the distance and then at the people in front of him, before revealing a grin.

“I don’t have time to play with you guys! Die!”

As Su Wen spoke, a fiery red sword appeared in his hand. He waved it forward with a solemn expression!

At the same time he brandished his longsword, the sword qi dragon in the starry sky flew straight towards Cha Ma and the others!

In front of the dragon, Cha Ma was like an ant, or maybe he was not even worthy of even being one.

However, the closer the dragon got, the faster it shrank!

Of course, it was impossible for Su Wen to unleash a sword aura as powerful as a planet.

It was just that in this domain, all of Su Wen’s actions would be enhanced!

After shrinking, the silver dragon sword qi caught up to Su Wen’s sword qi and fused into it.

Cha Ma desperately circulated his True Qi as he brazenly attacked.

However, in Su Wen’s domain, the Heaven Earth Origin Qi his opponents could mobilize would be suppressed.

The other Black Scale members also attacked!

Boom!

The two opposing forces collided and exploded!

However, the Qi from Su Wen’s explosion actually turned into even finer Sword Qi threads.

Roaming Dragon Wind Slash!

The countless sword qi gathered to form a storm of blades!

It howled as it moved along, scraping everything on its path.

Guan Gu, who was behind Su Wen, widened his eyes!

Looking at the Black Scale Tribesmen in the storm, they roared crazily as they were being mutilated by a thousand knife cuts.

Very quickly… all signs of life disappeared from them.

Blood and flesh flew in all directions.

All that was left were their bones, dropping down from the sky to shatter on the ground.

Su Wen sighed. In the end, this domain could not truly change the environment around him.

At the same time, Su Wen suddenly felt something indescribable in his body.

His mind became clearer.

His perception of the world also became clearer.

Merit?

Su Wen shook his head slightly.

However, it had to be said that Su Wen’s domain was quite the harmful one.

Apart from him, be it the humans, demons, or vicious beasts, those who originally had the advantage in domains all lost their advantage…

There was no other way around it. They were completely suppressed when it came to the quality of their domains.

All of them changed to relying on their own strength to fight their opponents head-on.

However, Nine Nether Island was extremely large, and the area covered by Su Wen’s domain was not too big.

In another area, standing in front of Yu Shensu was another fellow from the Demon Race.

The two of them looked at each other from afar.

However, they were far from Su Wen’s location and were completely unaffected by his domain.

“Demonic Tribe’s Fourth General, Chu Feng will take part.”

Yu Shensu looked at the person in front of her with deep concern.

This guy was an 8th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator!

Just the Fourth General? Then how strong were those above? And this was only the Demonic Tribe!

Although the Demonic Tribe was one of the top tribes of the Demon World and was also a proper ruling class, their foundation was also probably much stronger than that of the human world.

This was because within the Demon Race, the fighting was even more intense.

The cruel environment created even more experts.

“Yu Shensu!”

The two of them chatted briefly to express their respect for each other! Then, they started fighting as well.

This was not a rare occurrence.

In some places, the demons won, while in others, human experts butchered them.

In some places, both sides were in a deadlock, or one side retreated in defeat.

There were all kinds of situations.

Emperor Zhou was among them.

His cultivation base wasn’t too high, only at the 4th Grade of Heaven Rank!

Of course, as a 4th Grade Heaven Rank cultivator, his combat strength was completely different from Su Wen’s.

There were no demons attacking in his direction.

As for Emperor Zhou, he had already flown to another person’s defense zone.

This person was an ancestor of the Zhou Country as well.

At first, he had been nervous when he sensed the presence of a Heaven Rank expert, but when he saw that it was Emperor Zhou, he relaxed.

“Your Majesty, why are you here?”

The person bowed and asked.

“Just looking around,” Emperor Zhou said coldly.

“The main thing is that we don’t have any enemies here. I’m wondering if we should go to other directions to provide support.”

That person said in a low voice, “There’s no team nearby asking for reinforcements.”

Emperor Zhou smiled and said, “Don’t you want merit? I heard that with that thing, our cultivation will improve.”

“This…”

Just as he was thinking, Emperor Zhou arrived beside him.

Splat!

Emperor Zhou’s palm stabbed straight into his heart.

This person was only a 2nd Grade Heaven Rank cultivator. His cultivation was inferior to Emperor Zhou’s, and he was ambushed and killed on the spot!

A wisp of black Qi flashed across Emperor Zhou’s eyes, before this person’s flesh and bones rapidly withered and were quickly absorbed by Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou glanced at his Star Disk falling from the sky and a satisfied smile appeared on his face!

“How comfortable! Hmph, Zhizhen, Demon Race, I will take back what I’ve sacrificed sooner or later!”

At this moment, in the depths of the palace, Zhizhen had already crawled out from underground.

He was dressed in a pure white monk robe.

The skull in front of his chest floated in the air.

He had a gentle smile on his face as he walked.

The second prince was currently in the study handling some government affairs.

He was not the Zhou Emperor, so he would not go to the Emperor’s chambers.

In reality, even if he was supervising the country now, he would not stay overnight in the palace. Like working every day, he would enter the palace in the morning to work, handle government affairs in the study during the day, and at night, go home to sleep.

He was like a hardworking social worker. There was no other way. He needed to perform, and he could not afford to make any mistakes.

He wanted Emperor Zhou to make him the Crown Prince when he returned.

Although he had also thought that if Emperor Zhou didn’t return…

However, he also knew that if he did not do a good job, he would definitely be punished when Emperor Zhou returned.

He did not dare to gamble.

Just as he was seriously reviewing the memorials, he suddenly felt a figure standing in front of him.

He looked up in surprise!

In the palace, who would dare to come before him without his consent?

What greeted his eyes was a smiling baldy.

However, when their gazes met, the second prince felt his consciousness go blank. In an instant, his eyes glazed over and he lost consciousness…

Little Monk Zhizhen smiled even more happily.

On the other hand,

Su Wen stood still in the same location.

Guan Gu leaned forward and said in a low voice, “Lord Su… should we withdraw the domain now?”

Any Heaven Rank expert would feel uncomfortable in the domain of others.

Su Wen shook his head.

At this moment, the other Heaven Rank experts arrived.

There was Ning Shuang, Lu Jun, and a few other Chu Kingdom’s family patriarchs.

When they realized that Su Wen was the one who had released this vast domain, all of their eyes shook.

This domain was just too powerful.

“Lord Su is mighty.”

Lu Jun went forward to flatter him.

Ning Shuang also went to Su Wen’s side and whispered, “Young Master, there are still enemies?”

She knew Su Wen best.

Su Wen nodded and said, “Stay away! This fellow is not easy to deal with.”

Just from the fact that the other party had escaped Su Wen’s domain, one could tell that he was not simple.

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu said, “Can we help?”

“There’s no need. Retreat.”

Su Wen sighed in response.

After coming out of seclusion, he really didn’t care about ordinary Heaven Rank combat strength anymore.

This was especially so for those with similar grades.

As a 1st Grade Heaven Rank, Ning Shuang was even weaker. It was useless in face of the enemy.

Especially the moment that person broke free from the domain, Su Wen had already sensed that this person was not simple.

Hearing Su Wen’s words, the others did not dare to delay and retreated!

The words of an expert were the truth!

Finally, that man from the Demon Race appeared in his line of sight.

He also unleashed his own domain. Demonic Qi surged, and wherever it passed, Su Wen’s domain disappeared.

This did not mean that his domain was stronger than Su Wen’s. It only meant that neither side could completely suppress the other.

He stood in the air and met Su Wen’s gaze!

His eyes narrowed slightly. This fellow in front of him did not seem to be as powerful as he had imagined.

At the very least, he did not feel any powerful energy pressure from Su Wen.

However… This vast starry domain showed how extraordinary Su Wen was!

“The Second General of the Demonic Tribe, Chu Yinchuan! 8th Grade Heaven Rank!”

“Human Race, Su Wen! 4th Grade Heaven Rank!”

Sensing the other party’s powerful True Qi, Su Wen’s expression turned solemn.

At that moment, black mist was surging beside Chu Yinchuan.

This was his Demonic Qi Domain.

Furthermore, his cultivation was at the peak 8th Grade Heaven Rank!

The powerful pressure completely exceeded anyone Su Wen met.

Logically speaking, there was a difference of four grades between their cultivations.

Su Wen had no chance of winning and might even be insta-killed. However, Su Wen wanted to give it a try!

Upon hearing of Su Wen’s cultivation base, Chu Yinchuan’s eyes widened!

“What? 4th Grade Heaven Rank?”

Was he joking?

How could a 4th Grade Heaven Rank have such a terrifying domain?

How terrifying would it be when he grew up?

This child must die today!

He had to kill him!

As an enemy, he could not let him live.

As this thought appeared in Chu Yinchuan’s mind, his aura grew even stronger!

In an instant, he moved!

He pressed his palms together and unleashed his Qi.

Waves of inky-black True Qi blasted out.

The black demonic Qi in his domain instantly supported his attack.

“Demon God Imperial Fist!”

A huge fist flew towards Su Wen.

Su Wen did not stand on ceremony either.

He tightly shut his eyes for a moment, before fiercely opening them!

He turned his body slightly and slashed out with his sword.

“Daybreak!”

In the vast starry sky, the sword Qi dragon let out a long and deafening roar. Meanwhile, the huge planet that represented the sun in Su Wen’s body suddenly emitted a violent surge of light.

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens, and a cold light that could pierce through the heavens and earth for thousands of miles appeared.

Then… the golden light rays exploded!

The Sword of Daybreak was like a ray of light that illuminated the world at dawn.

Within ten thousand miles, everyone was stunned by the immense source of light that suddenly appeared.

Ning Shuang and company stood far away, but what reflected in their eyes was not only the light, but apprehension!

This power was already way beyond the comprehension of ordinary Heaven Rank experts.

In the void, Gongsun Shi was fighting against the Demon Emperor!

Suddenly, the two of them stopped at the same time and frowned!

How was this possible? Paragon Rank martial technique? Divine Ability!?

This was something exclusive to the Saint Rank!

Could it be that the other party had an Emperor Realm expert as well?

If that was the case, it might have a decisive impact on the entire battle!

The two of them cast their senses over at the same time!

Chu Yinchuan had never imagined that Su Wen would be able to unleash such a powerful attack.

In an instant, his fist force was torn apart by the Sword Qi.

His eyes flashed with ruthlessness, before he gritted his teeth.

“Demon God’s Judgment!”

This was one of his trump cards.

This was also a technique passed down from the Demonic Tribe, the Demon God Art!

Unlike ordinary cultivation techniques, this move consumed the user’s lifespan. However, the advantage was that it could borrow the power of Demon Gods!

Demonic Qi surged and condensed. Suddenly, a Demon God’s phantom appeared in front of him.

Its eyes opened slightly, and its arrogant gaze coldly swept past Su Wen.

The next moment, it tapped a finger lightly..
