【“Woooooo—”】
【A gale swept through the surroundings, leaving behind a piercing howl.】
【The powerful winds trapped everyone in place, leaving them unable to move.】
【These winds came from the enormous face atop the clouds in the sky.】
【“This is the Hurricane Domain! The one up there is the chief judge of the Interstellar Law Enforcement Bureau, a member of the Holy Dragon Clan, Feng Ling, the Hurricane Immortal King!”】
【The wind stung your face, as if you were being slashed by knives.】
【You had to remember that you were a Transcendent Realm cultivator, and the toughness of your physical body, bolstered by various trait tags, far surpassed that of others at the same realm.】
【And yet even these ordinary gusts of wind could injure you.】
【You could only imagine how powerful the Immortal King standing atop the clouds, whose true body remained out of sight, must be.】
【He Xiangdong acted decisively.】
【“Mr. Chen, take Zhong Yanqing and go! I believe you have what it takes to break through!”】
【You nodded firmly, grabbed Ah Dou, and unleashed all your power.】
【Blazing Triple-Origin True Fire encircled you and Ah Dou, like a divine dragon guarding you.】
【The flames faced off against the murderous gale around you, creating a windless eye in the storm.】
【Countless bolts of lightning erupted from the Lightning-Chasing, Thunder-Racing Boots beneath your feet, striking the ground and hurling you into the air.】
【“Quantum Ghost Step! Full power!!”】
【Divine power surged out of your yuan core like a dam bursting, and you unleashed Quantum Ghost Step with greater force than ever before.】
【You pushed your speed and ability to disorient to the absolute limit.】
【Everywhere you looked, there were copies of you!】
【But not one of them was you!】
【“Pathetic parlor tricks!”】
【The gigantic face in the clouds glared viciously. All around you, dark tornadoes rose from the ground.】
【The tornadoes easily shredded mountains and forests, reducing everything to a hazy gray ash.】
【They formed a killing formation, blocking your way and shattering every illusion you had created with your Divine Art.】
【One of the dark tornadoes slammed into your true body, knocking you and Ah Dou to the ground.】
【Before you could catch your breath, two hands made of wind seized you and Ah Dou, one each.】
【“Uncle Chen!”】
【The hand holding Ah Dou began to rise toward the sky.】
【Ah Dou tried to escape using the Purple-Gold Cloud-Treading Boots beneath his feet, only to discover that at some point, the enemy had already taken them off and thrown them to the ground.】
【You were bound by the hand of wind and could hardly move, but you sensed something stirring inside your Pot Heaven space.】
【The Sun Halo Ring!】
【You immediately circulated your divine power and opened the Pot Heaven space.】
【“Whoosh!!”】
【The Sun Halo Ring shot out and flew into Ah Dou’s hand.】
【“Alien scum! Don’t push us too far!!”】
【Ah Dou roared and flung the Sun Halo Ring with all his might.】
【The Celestial Emperor’s boundless might erupted. Its incomparable light and heat crushed the gale!】
【The Hurricane Immortal King merely sneered in response.】
【“No matter how powerful the Scarlet Celestial Emperor was, he’s long since turned to dust. How can something belonging to the dead stand against the living? Back down!!”】
【The enormous face vanished from the sky.】
【The white clouds turned black, swirling into a vortex.】
【“Rumble...”】
【The sound was actually the wind in motion, like a million iron cavalrymen charging past.】
【The light and heat radiating from the Sun Halo Ring quickly lost ground, suppressed by an even more powerful force of wind.】
【“Ah Dou!!”】
【The hand made of wind was dragging Ah Dou toward the sky.】
【The Holy Dragon Society still intended to capture the Child of Destiny alive.】
【Seeing that Ah Dou was about to be taken alive, you struggled with all your might, but the pressure of the wind around you was simply too overwhelming.】
【This was more than the suppression of a higher realm, the power of Divine Abilities, or the crushing force of Immortal power.】
【This was a domain!】
【You were already enveloped by the Hurricane Immortal King’s domain.】
【Within an Immortal King’s domain, your strength was naturally weakened by a great deal, unless you possessed a domain power capable of opposing it.】
【And if the power you used was countered by the other party’s domain, it would be rendered completely useless.】
【No stats involved. Just pure mechanics.】
【Yet even then, you saw two figures charge into the sky.】
【“Strategist He! Brother Lin!”】
【The two of them had actually taken flight within the Immortal King’s domain!】
【Ji Wuqing was stunned.】
【Ji Wuqing was hailed as the greatest human genius Vermilion Violet Star had seen in a thousand years, but from the moment the Immortal King appeared, she had been unable to move a muscle. She had been powerless the whole time.】
【And yet He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin, whose displayed strength was even lower than Ji Wuqing’s, had charged into the sky at that very moment!】
【You were deeply moved.】
【“What terrifying willpower...”】
【This wasn’t a matter of their cultivation.】
【Their willpower was forcing their bodies to surpass their limits!】
【The two fought their way through the gale and into the air, each grabbing one of Ah Dou’s feet.】
【The wind around Ah Dou intensified, becoming like countless blades. In the blink of an eye, it left He Xiangdong and Strong Man Lin covered in wounds and drenched in blood.】
【No matter how badly they were hurt, neither of them let go.】
【Ah Dou slowly shook his head.】
【“Please, stop! Strategist, Uncle Lin, let go. Please, let go!!”】
【He Xiangdong’s face had already been disfigured by the wind blades. He gave a tragic smile.】
【“We’ll burn what remains of us... to light the way for others... passing the torch from one generation to the next... so it will never go out... Protecting you is our responsibility!”】
【Strong Man Lin gripped Ah Dou tightly with hands that exposed stark white bone, then threw his head back and laughed at the sky.】
【“We give our lives as fuel for the torch, and face death as if returning home!! Hurricane Immortal King! Holy Dragon Society! All you aliens! One day, someone will crush you and drag you from your thrones!”】
【On the ground, Ji Wuqing was already crying in desperation, hating her own helplessness.】
【“Move! Move! Damn this body! Move!!”】
【“Boom!!!”】
【Ji Wuqing was startled by an explosion beside her.】
【She hadn’t moved, but you had!】
【Ji Wuqing noticed that your face had changed. Your red hair was gone, and your looks had diminished slightly, but you were still very handsome.】
【You once again dispelled every disguise and activated the trait tag “Live as an Upright Person”!】
【The effects of all your trait tags increased by 200%, allowing you to break through the Immortal King’s suppression. You stamped your foot and shot toward the sky like a missile.】
【“What the hell kind of Immortal King are you!! Take this punch!!!”】
【Blinding light burst from your body, and countless streams of Immortal Qi converged wildly around you.】
【“Light Speed Fist!!!”】
【You drove all your energy together and unleashed a punch straight up into the sky.】
【The power of this move was unprecedented!】
【A beam of light pierced heaven and earth, sweeping away the gales and dark clouds and briefly revealing clear skies between heaven and earth.】
【“Rumble!!!”】
【The Light Speed Fist struck its target beyond the atmosphere.】
【To those watching from afar, it looked as if a small sun had appeared in the sky.】
【Shockwaves spread outward from that small sun in ring after ring, racing in every direction at an astonishing speed.】
【Wherever they passed, despite being far above the ground, their lingering force still lifted buildings, trees, turf, soil, and more, stirring up countless storms.】
