Five Ferocious Battlefield Domain

Simultaneously, Qin Huai’s formidable dragon emperor fist couldn’t break the Beast King’s resilient Xuanwu green armor.

“It looks like you can’t use the king domain in this secret realm,” Qin Huai noted.

“So what?” the Beast King retorted with a smirk, then laughed coldly. His power, teetering on the brink of the king realm, was beyond the comprehension of anyone in the visceral prefecture realm.

Underneath, the phoenix fire bolstered his layers of strength. As moments passed, sparks radiating from him grew increasingly intense in color. He was tactically distracting Qin Huai, setting up for a devastating strike.

Boom!

Suddenly, an invisible force coursed through the Beast King. His vision blackened, and he felt overwhelming pressure from every direction. It had been eons since he last unleashed his full might, and he silently reasoned that perhaps he was just out of practice. But soon, he realized the gravity of the situation.

“It’s a domain? From a visceral prefecture realm expert?” the Beast King mused, not questioning why Qin Huai possessed a power typically reserved for kings. After all, prodigies, especially like Qin Huai, defied logic.

The ensuing battle only fueled the Beast King’s excitement, but he quickly realized that his energy was being siphoned off. His internal bone patterns flared brightly, signaling the urgency to act before Qin Huai gained the upper hand.

His power surged exponentially, accompanied by the unmistakable cry of a phoenix that echoed throughout the realm. Then, in the blink of an eye, the Beast King vanished, rivaling the speed of Qin Huai’s Kun Peng wings.

Bang!

An explosive burst of flame enveloped Qin Huai, but instead of triumph, the Beast King’s face showed dismay. The amassed energy didn’t detonate as expected but was gradually drained away.

He was baffled. “How could my king’s spiritual eye be deceived by such simple illusions?”

The realization that his strength had diminished to a mere seventy percent of its former potency hit him hard. His once brilliant king bone now appeared as dim as the confines of Pingwang’s secret realm.

“What is this domain?” he pondered, genuinely perplexed.

The Beast King grappled with a baffling realization. While he could reason that the domain made Qin Huai unpredictable in the secret realm, it was hard to fathom that his own king body was suppressed.

King tiers were legendary, capable of overpowering thousands and defeating any creature. Only another king tier could challenge them.

Moreover, kings had the spiritual eyesight to discern deception and subterfuge. That’s why many looked down on Zhang Youji’s concealment techniques. Upon reaching king status, such techniques would be useless.

Yet, as the Beast King attacked, slashing through Qin Huai’s green illusions, a memory stirred. He recalled a mention of a promising young man in Qingzhou, someone with the potential to rise as the next Holy Son.

There were whispers of a prodigy’s demise, one who not only rivaled the Holy Son but bore an emperor’s aura. The white-robed king’s absence clicked into place.

“You killed the white-robed king,” the Beast King concluded. The techniques the Beast King saw reminded him of the Emperor of Qingzhou’s ancient scripture.

“It’s you, Qin Huai!” he exclaimed, eyes sharpening. Then, the realization dawned that the domain’s power may emanate from an emperor’s might. His anger dissolved into resignation. “Facing you here, I’m bound to lose. Will you not reveal your secrets now?”

Seemingly accepting his fate, the Beast King mused, “Witnessing a future emperor in my time, and meeting my end by your hand… It’s an honor.”

But just as the end seemed near, a cacophony of roars and cries echoed. Shadows filled the sky, converging into an energy ball that hurtled toward Qin Huai.

In response, Qin Huai launched the black dragon pearl upwards, which seemed to consume the approaching shadows. Moments later, the pearl exploded, vanishing from the black dragon world.

As the dust settled, Qin Huai was already confronting the Beast King. The Black Dragon Emperor unleashed a barrage of blows, and under such relentless assault, the Beast King couldn’t surpass his king-tier strength.

After battling for what felt like ages, Qin Huai killed the Beast King using his king domain. The Beast King, in a desperate move, had even conjured a Nine Supremes phantom, faking his death to escape.

But the difference in their strengths was evident. With considerable effort, Qin Huai finally overcame him. He then collected the experience orbs left by the defeated Beast King.

The notifications flowed:

“Ding! You’ve collected numerous [Blood Heart Technique] fragments…”

“Ding! You’ve obtained a [Five Ferocious Battlefield] fragment. Current fragment count is (33/100).”

“Ding! You’ve obtained a [Territory Sphere: Five Malevolent War Domain]. [Domain Sphere]: When used, it can release the maximum power of the domain and explode. If you have the same domain, it can also be used as an upgrade material (one-time consumable).”

Absorbing the experience orbs, Qin Huai couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret at having only thirty-three domain fragments. He playfully thought about the possibility of parading the Beast King around to collect more.

Such thoughts, however, were mere whims. He couldn’t let anyone else learn about his emperor domain. That was why he had pursued the Beast King to this desolate area.

Pondering his next moves, Qin Huai muttered, “Perhaps I need a strategy to complete the Five Ferocious Battlefield.” He realized that with the Beast King gone, none would dare challenge him in Pingwang county.action

The blood beasts attacked the six royal clans and badly hurt them. In the secret realm, he was unbeatable. With the Beast King gone, no other king would want to come here.

“I just wonder when the secret realm will close…”

Some time later, Qin Huai returned to his White Bone Island. He even met Zhang Youji, requesting him to inform all that as long as they practiced their crafts in peace within the secret realm, he wouldn’t harm them.

His words held weight, especially after his victory over the six royal clans. No one dared cross him. Surprisingly, Pingwang county’s secret realm turned into a haven amidst the war-torn Great You.

While there, Qin Huai continued his training. He also discovered a method to enhance the Five Ferocious Battlefield domain using spirit stones, though it wasn’t very efficient.

But for someone as wealthy as Qin Huai, the cost was negligible. He began his cultivation in the Five Ferocious Battlefield without any second thoughts.
