Chapter 451 This Strike, The Power of Legend (4K)
High above the skies, the sun hung suspended, and clouds stretched unending.
Two figures burst forth from the vast expanse of white clouds, standing tall in the sky. The surrounding winds were biting, and the bright sun blinding, yet as they approached the two figures, they dissipated into nothingness.
The Giant Dragon from Dragon Sleep Valley squinted its eyes, and its pupils held a rich golden glow, seemingly more dazzling than the scorching sun on the horizon.
It gazed at Duo Lai, sizing up the Domain that had already surpassed ten thousand meters, and then some.
A legendary creature with boundless potential.
"Impressive," it said.
"A radius of thirteen thousand meters. This creature may even aspire to step into the Legendary Third Realm in the future. Alas, it will meet its demise here."
The Giant Dragon's Domain also spread out, with a radius of nine thousand nine hundred meters.
Inferior to the creature before it, yes, but it was already a being from the Soul Realm.
Beings of the Soul Realm can construct a God Base, ignite their God Soul's flame. At this stage, his Domain could no longer expand, but with the formidable power of his Soul Power, he could command a broader range of the Elements of Heaven and Earth, and even Minor Magic cast by him had the effect of turning decay into magic.
His God Soul could also leave his body, traveling thousands of miles in an instant, or he could split his God Soul in two, bestowing half upon another's domain.
Descending upon a prepared vessel for another.
Such was akin to the methods of the gods.
At this moment, aside from his physically weaker flesh, his other abilities were not much diminished. He was truly a legendary being from the Soul Realm.
The Giant Dragon looked at Duo Lai.
"In view of your natural talents, you are worthy of knowing my name," it said.
"Remember, your downfall here comes at the hands of 'Pupil Blade Cromence,' the Grand Duke of the Hunt under the Twilight King in Dragon Sleep Valley."
The Filthy Dragon Cromence spoke.
His flesh and blood slowly transformed, and a pair of dragon claws turned into the shape of a blade's edge.
"But I am stronger," Duo Lai said solemnly. "I, General Duo Lai, will defeat you."
Cromence looked on with interest, his upright golden pupils growing longer and sharper, like a knife slicing the distant figure in half.
Splat—
A gold blade light suddenly appeared, cleaving in a crescent shape right into Duo Lai's Domain, passing over Duo Lai's tiny body as if unimpeded.
It brought with it a splatter of...
Illusions.
Duo Lai flapped its wings, already appearing hundreds of meters away, patting its steel armor with residual fear.
It had not sensed any danger at all.
This killing move was too covert.
The Filthy Dragon Cromence spoke, "As expected of a talented being. But, even among the Filthy Race, I am a genius."
Born within the husk of a Giant Dragon, he was Legendary from birth!
He had a high synergy with his dragon flesh, able to perfectly, and even exceptionally, utilize the innate abilities of the dragon from before its passing.
Even within Dragon Sleep Valley, not many could withstand his Pupil Blade!
The Giant Dragon's golden pupils shone brilliantly.
The next moment,
the gold blade light appeared abruptly once more within Duo Lai's Domain, slashing down towards it. Discover exclusive tales at empire
Waves of water rippled, one after another, but the gold blade light sliced through them as if cutting through fabric.
Duo Lai rode the blue wind, darting thousands of meters in an instant, leaving a trail of blurred afterimages in the high sky.
The gold blade light pursued relentlessly, appearing consecutively in the sky.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
It cut through everything, appearing so abruptly, initially manifesting one after the other, but soon it was two, three golden blade lights, hundreds of meters in length, flashing into existence simultaneously.
Above the high sky, the golden radiance flashed nonstop, the huge blade shadows appearing and disappearing in an instant, leaving only long, golden threads that lingered for a long time.
Below the golden threads, clouds, sunlight, waves of water, flames, lightning...
All were cleaved apart, with none spared.
High above the skies, the figure of the small creature darted frantically, while the Filthy Dragon Cromence merely turned slightly, as if strolling leisurely.
Domain?Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Useless.
No matter how vast the Domain, it was but a soap bubble in its eyes. Such was the power of a high-end legendary being.
"To have lasted this long against the Grand Duke of the Hunt, human creature, you can take pride," he declared from above.
However, he suddenly noticed that the human, who was struggling amidst the golden Pupil Blades, seemingly bore little sign of panic on his face.
"I told you, I am the stronger one," said Duo Lai.
In the high heavens, Duo Lai suddenly stopped its evasive maneuvers.
It stood firm, its Domain's power barely capturing the massive golden blade lights slashing down from above and to the left.
It stopped dodging.
Its wings disappeared, and in its palm, a Staff took shape. Its other hand faced upwards, as if holding up something.
The next moment,
"Pop!"
A crisp shattering sound echoed across the sea of clouds.
From the left and above, the once unparalleled and sharp golden blade lights suddenly broke apart, like two swords cut in half.
Faintly visible were two crooked black cracks, arcing around Duo Lai to the left and right.
Like two broken swords with jagged edges, they had sliced through the golden sharpness.
"Spatial Power?"
The Filthy Dragon Cromence's golden pupils constricted, "But even spatial rifts shouldn't directly shatter my Pupil Blade."
The sharpness of his Pupil Blade was among the top in Dragon Sleep Valley, with few daring to clash directly with it.
Even the Twilight King, wielding Conceptual Power, would not claim to be sharper than him.
"However..."
He was a being from the Soul Realm, indeed.
The Filthy Dragon's large golden pupils emitted an even more dazzling light, the sun on the horizon seemingly diminished, while his eyes highlighted the scene as though two brilliant suns were hanging there.
