Just one sword strike.
The three Insight God experts from the He family were shredded like meat through an invisible grinder. Violent sword qi tore them into a mist of blood. They didn't even manage a full scream.
"Hiss!"
The six Insight God experts from the Huang and Lu families forcibly stopped their charge, their eyes filled with overwhelming fear.
What kind of sword technique was this? How could it be so terrifying?
While they were still reeling in confusion, Yang Cheng had already charged at them.
Under the onslaught of that wild sword qi, two more Insight God experts were blasted apart. The remaining four turned and fled in panic.
"Trash!"
Seeing his elite forces die in an instant, He Tianfu's eyes turned bloodshot. He couldn't hold back anymore. The terrifying pressure of a Yin God realm expert exploded from his body.
He stepped forward. A black long blade with a savage shape lit up in his hand, radiating a sharp, dark glow.
"You little bastard, die! Annihilation Blade Domain!"
With his furious roar, a domain dozens of meters wide erupted around him, filled with overwhelming destruction.
Inside this domain, all life withered. All vitality vanished.
Countless black blade rays, seemingly capable of erasing everything, surged forward like a death storm straight from hell, engulfing Yang Cheng.
This was a Two-Star Blade Domain, governed by rules of annihilation.
Faced with an attack that could make most Yin God experts back off, Yang Cheng's eyes flashed with cold mockery.
"Imperial Judgment Blade Domain—Slash."
There was no earth-shaking roar, only an overpowering, absolute will that ruled over all life.
A far more refined and majestic Blade Dao domain erupted from Yang Cheng's body, centered on him.
Within this domain, it was as if an imperial shadow sat on a throne, ruling all beings, judging life and death.
A purple-gold blade light, brimming with unmatched authority, instantly formed. It slashed head-on toward the storm of black blades rushing in.
"Boom!"
Thunder roared as if from the Ninth Heaven.
The purple-gold Imperial Judgment blade light crashed into the black storm of annihilation.
There was no stalemate.
Under everyone's horrified gaze, the terrifying black storm began crumbling the moment it touched the purple-gold blade. It disintegrated rapidly as if it had met its natural enemy.
"This can't be happening!"
He Tianfu shrieked. His eyes were wide with disbelief and dread.
His proud Two-Star Annihilation Blade Domain had been crushed instantly by the opponent's domain?
"Three-Star Blade Domain... it's a Three-Star Domain!"
Not far away, Huang Gui'nian cried out in shock.
What Yang Cheng had just unleashed was clearly a Three-Star Blade Domain. Only a Three-Star domain could crush He Tianfu's Two-Star domain so effortlessly.
It was just too terrifying. Yang Cheng was still so young. Having such power was already shocking, but now he even wielded a Three-Star Blade Domain?
These people had cultivated for over 300 years, yet only barely grasped a Two-Star domain.
"Pfft!"
With his domain forcefully broken, He Tianfu took a heavy blow. He coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"Go! All at once!"
Lu Canglan was terrified when he saw He Tianfu injured in an instant, but the arrow had already left the bow. He had no choice.
He let out a furious roar. The full force of his Yin God power erupted.
"Ice Fist Domain!"
A Martial Dao domain filled with extreme cold burst forth.
Countless giant crystal fists, cold enough to freeze the soul, came crashing down on Yang Cheng like falling meteors.
"You think this petty ice dares act up in front of me?"
Yang Cheng's gaze remained indifferent. He clenched his five fingers into a tight fist.
A terrifying aura, as if capable of burning the Eight Desolations, exploded from within him.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar, as if echoing from ancient times, shook the heavens.
Around Yang Cheng's clenched fist, the space twisted and burned violently.
Crimson flames appeared out of thin air. These weren't ordinary flames but blazing true fire infused with supreme dragon might.
In an instant, the fire turned into a red flood dragon that wrapped itself around his arm.
"Crimson Dragon Fist Domain."
With a low shout, Yang Cheng threw a straightforward punch.
"Boom!"
As the deafening blast shook the air, the flood dragon coiled around his arm let out a roar and shot forward.
In an instant, a fiery red domain—far more grand and scorching than Lu Canglan's Ice Fist Domain—erupted outward, centered on Yang Cheng's fist.
Inside the domain, the crimson flood dragon twisted and coiled, flames blazing across the heavens.
Then, the torrent of red fire surged forward like a broken dam, crashing directly into the incoming tide of giant icy fists.
Sizzle—BOOM!
Extreme cold and extreme heat—two opposite rule forces—clashed in an earth-shattering collision the moment they touched.
Lu Canglan didn't fare much better than He Tianfu.
In just a moment, the seemingly overwhelming ice fists completely shattered.
Bang!
Lu Canglan was sent flying backward. It felt like his entire body was being torn apart and burned alive, large scorch marks covering his skin.
Everyone else was shaken to the core.
"Three-Star Fist Domain!"
Yang Cheng had mastered a Three-Star Blade Domain and now even a Three-Star Fist Domain?
Freak.
Absolutely insane.
Was he even human anymore?
At that moment, some among the three great clans began to regret everything.
It seemed like only now they truly understood why Yu Zhongxu had placed so much importance on Yang Cheng.
They had completely underestimated just how terrifying Yang Cheng really was.
Unfortunately for them, there was no way out now.
Huang Gui'nian gritted his teeth, enduring the burning pain in his eyes and his overwhelming fatigue. With a sharp cry, the longsword in his hand burst with a heavy earthy yellow light.
"Mysterious Tortoise Sword Domain—Suppress!"
A sword domain as heavy as a mountain spread forth, emanating an aura of unshakable indestructibility.
Countless sword qi surged out like massive tortoise shells, carrying a powerful, oppressive force as they pressed down on Yang Cheng.
Lu Canglan and He Tianfu didn't miss the chance. The two of them attacked alongside Huang Gui'nian.
Three Yin God experts, ignoring their pride, all unleashed their Two-Star level domains at full power to surround and kill Yang Cheng.
Faced with an attack that would even trouble a peak Yin God powerhouse, Yang Cheng didn't show a shred of fear. On the contrary, a spark of battle lust lit up in his eyes.
"Asura Sword Domain."
Yang Cheng's voice cut through the air like a ghostly wind from the Nine Hells. The Asura Dao Sword released a piercing sword cry louder than ever before.
A sword intent even more terrifying and vast than the previous Imperial Absolute Blade Domain surged to the skies.
In an instant, a blood-red domain spanning a radius of 100 zhang (approximately 333 meters) descended.
Within that domain, it felt as if an ancient Asura had arrived, enacting the oldest and purest laws of slaughter.
Endless sword qi, infused with annihilation, massacre, and destruction, flooded the entire domain like a river of death.
Four-Star Asura Sword Domain.
This was Yang Cheng's most terrifying trump card. Its power far exceeded that of the earlier Three-Star Blade Domain or Fist Domain.
Boom!
Huang Gui'nian's Mysterious Tortoise Sword Domain, said to be unbreakable, only lasted less than a single breath under the onslaught of that slaughter-filled sword qi before the massive tortoise-shell sword energy shattered inch by inch.
Immediately after, Huang Gui'nian was struck like a mountain had slammed into him. He and his sword were sent flying.
Lu Canglan and He Tianfu behind Yang Cheng didn't end up any better.
The Ice Fist Domain cracked like fragile glass the moment it touched the blood-colored sword qi, then exploded into pieces.
Lu Canglan screamed as he was blasted backward, his entire body torn open by countless sword slashes deep enough to expose bone. Blood sprayed wildly.
He Tianfu, already wounded, suffered even more under the terrifying pressure of the sword domain. His injuries worsened, his bones now visibly exposed.
His eyes were filled with nothing but utter terror.
Three Yin God experts had joined forces, but under Yang Cheng's Four-Star Sword Domain, they couldn't even withstand a single blow.
