Chapter 311: Respectable? Not really!
Chapter 311: Respectable? Not really!
Jun Fengya tried to influence Luo Zhiyi and said out loud, “Honored one, what terms did Fourth Brother offer you? I can offer you double the amount!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyi’s face twisted into a sleazy grin, and he said in a strange tone, “Prince Chengye said that as long as the two of you make it back alive, I can do whatever I want with you on the way. After the deed is done, if he ascends the throne, he will make me the Guardian of the Nation, granting me the status of a marquis and providing me with Dao Crystals and a thousand pounds of Star Sand.”
“Furthermore, he will marry one of you two princesses to me. These matters… I don’t think Princess Fengya can handle them, do you?”
Both Jun Fengya and Jun Yunshang’s faces turned pale as they immediately understood the implications.
They both shot him a hateful glance and cursed, “Shameless!”
Luo Zhiyi laughed heartily, “This kid could play with both of you princes, so why can’t I?”
“Young Master Ye is different from you!” Jun Yunshang replied angrily.
“Just a pretty face. You’re both still young and don’t understand the importance of strength,” Luo Zhiyi shook his head.
“You’re wrong. It’s precisely because they understand that they look down on you,” Lin Fengmian said, gripping his sword with one hand, sipping fake wine with an indifferent expression, and casting a scornful glance at Luo Zhiyi, displaying the arrogance of a proud, untamed genius.
“The Void Realm is nothing but this. If you have the ability, enter the field and fight. I’ll kill you like a dog!”
Luo Zhiyi laughed even louder upon hearing Lin Fengmian’s rebellious words, “You are an arrogant boy. I like you.”
He wasn’t intimidated at all and stepped into Lin Fengmian’s formation with an amused smile.
“This shabby formation is your trump card?”
Lin Fengmian’s lips curled into a smirk as he replied, “Yes! Have you figured out how you’ll die?”
Luo Zhiyi helplessly shook his head, “Kid, I know you’re very powerful, but don’t compare me to those trash!”
Lin Fengmian smiled faintly and returned the words unchanged, “I also know that you are powerful, but don’t compare me to those trash!”
With a sudden motion, he thrust his sword into the ground. A tremendous thunderclap erupted from Zhenyuan, quickly spreading out in all directions.
Blinding bolts of lightning tore through the entire array in a matter of moments. On the top of the nine mountains, nine lightning bolts shot straight into the sky.
The sky and earth changed dramatically as dark storm clouds gathered. Winds howled and thick, arm-length streaks of lightning cascaded down like waterfalls.
A thunderous field a thousand meters wide appeared in the sky, responding to the formation below, with lightning flashing between the mountain peaks.
Lin Fengmian stood holding Zhenyuan, his sword drawn and his gaze as cold as ice. His long hair swirled in the wind, and in the light of the thunder, he looked like a god of thunder.
Luo Zhiyi felt a buzzing in his head, and was momentarily stunned. He quickly realized that he had fallen under Lin Fengmian’s eye technique. His face changed slightly.
But in the next instant, Lin Fengmian disappeared from his position, reappeared behind him, and slashed with his sword.
The thunder in the world was drawn by Lin Fengmian’s Zhenyuan, and it surged toward Luo Zhiyi.
In a panic, Luo Zhiyi raised his blade to block, but Lin Fengmian’s strike sent it flying into the array.
Before Luo Zhiyi could react, dozens of Lin Fengmian’s figures appeared around him, flashing like lightning and charging at him.
Although Luo Zhiyi was startled, he didn’t lose his composure. He swung his long blade, summoning a fierce wind that swept away Lin Fengmian’s attacks.
However, he was still pushed into a corner by the overwhelming power of Lin Fengmian’s attacks, amplified by the mighty thunder. He looked somewhat disheveled.
The force of the strikes combined with the thunderbolts surged into his body, making his movements stiff and sluggish.
He roared loudly, sweeping away Lin Fengmian’s illusions like a raging wind scattering leaves, but unfortunately, Lin Fengmian managed to dodge.
By the time he regained his senses, Jun Fengya and Jun Yunshang had long since disappeared, leaving only the endless surge of thunder around him.
Lin Fengmian floated in the air and looked down at Luo Zhiyi with a playful smile. “Respectable? Just so-so. Have you figured out how you’re going to die?”
Luo Zhiyi, already knocked into a sorry state, radiated murderous intent as he snarled, “Kid, don’t get too arrogant! Blade Wind Domain!”
He raised his long blade high, and fierce winds swirled around him. In an instant, a domain spanning a hundred feet unfolded.
Within this domain, tiny slashes of sword intent, like flying willows, were swept up by the fierce wind, filling the air and expelling other forms of spiritual energy.
These sharp sword intents, combined with the wild winds, moved at lightning speed, swirling through the entire space.
Lin Fengmian had already anticipated this and transformed into lightning, swiftly flying out of the domain, avoiding its influence.
Looking at the sword intent everywhere inside the domain and the diminishing vitality of the thunderous spiritual energy, his expression grew serious.
After briefly studying domain knowledge under Luo Xue, Lin Fengmian understood that this was the exclusivity of a domain.
A Void Realm expert could create a domain that favored his own abilities, weakening and rejecting the rules and powers he didn’t need.
However, due to limitations in the realm and personal strength, a domain couldn’t completely expel the forces of Heaven and Earth; it could only lower their activity.
Within their own domain, due to the increased spiritual energy and favorable conditions, both recovery and attacks were amplified, making them much more effective.
The more powerful a Void Realm expert was, the more their domain suited their own strength, allowing them to use it effortlessly.
Being in their domain was like having the support of a divine being, as if they were the god of their own world.
This was also why Void Realm experts could look down on other cultivators-once they were trapped within a domain, it was a battle of attrition. How could they turn the tide?
Looking at the hundred foot Blade Wind Domain in front of him, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the end, Luo Zhiyi was just a lone cultivator, and his domain didn’t exceed the normal limits.
This was in the bag!
For a Void Realm first-stage cultivator, the maximum size of his domain was one hundred feet, the second stage would have a domain of two hundred feet, and so on.
However, the creation and improvement of a domain weren’t solely based on cultivation techniques; like Heavenly Manifestation, it also required the use of Spirit Stones.
The Dao crystals and other materials needed to create a domain were incredibly precious, far beyond the requirements of Heavenly Manifestation.
Therefore, most lone cultivators, even those who reached the peak of the Void Realm, were limited by their own resources, and it was rare for them to create a domain that surpassed five hundred feet.
To construct a top-grade domain that matched their own power required an enormous amount of Dao Crystals, something that no lone cultivator could afford.
Therefore, as a Void Realm expert, Luo Zhiyi still had to work for others.
It was all about being poor!
Otherwise, who would want to serve sects and dynasties and live day to day with no guarantee of survival?
Luo Zhiyi, at the second stage of the Void Realm, could only manage a domain of just over one hundred feet due to insufficient resources.
Unaware of his own underestimation, Luo Zhiyi stood within his domain, with the surrounding blade energy growing stronger and pushing away the incoming thunder.
“Kid, forcing me to use my domain is your honor!”
Although the Domain was incredibly powerful, it also consumed a tremendous amount of energy.
Moreover, like Heavenly Manifestation, the domain could be damaged.
If it were broken by an opponent of the same level, repairing it would be costly.
For a lone cultivator like Luo Zhiyi, he would rather have a blade struck at him than have his domain damaged.
