“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In the seemingly real yet illusory secret realm, Jun Changxiao wielded the Difficult to Sheathe Blade with both hands and engaged in fierce combat with the Rose Empress.
Heaven?
Then defy it, overthrow it!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Sword light erupted wildly, sword energy pervaded space, but this Absolute Domain was extremely solid. No matter how spectacularly Jun Changxiao attacked, there were still no signs of collapse.
The Rose Empress was even more formidable. Without using weapons, relying purely on her fully armored battle suit to contend with him, even when struck directly, not a single scratch was left.
Jun Changxiao didn’t believe her equipment grade was so high it could withstand his Difficult to Sheathe Blade. The reason ultimately related to the so-called Absolute Domain!
The system said: “This should be a space illusioned by something like a formation. Being within it, she can obtain a continuous stream of energy, thus increasing combat power and defensive power.”
“How do we break it?”
“You ask me, who do I ask?”
“…”
This was why Jun Changxiao disliked this system and preferred the female system gifted by the Plane Battlefield Transmission Gate—after all, she always provided appropriate help at critical moments.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The two exchanged dozens of moves in the Absolute Domain.
Outside.
The area where Jun Changxiao had just been.
With his disappearance, the binding force vanished completely, and the Soul Clan powerhouses were freed.
The Difficult to Sheathe Blade, once unsealed, would inevitably cause great slaughter. Their survival could be considered extremely fortunate.
“Where is the Empress?!”
“Look!”
A powerhouse pointed at the area where Jun Changxiao and the Rose Empress had disappeared. There was a fist-sized green energy sphere flashing with light.
“The Absolute Domain!”
“The Empress’s strongest killing move!”
“The last time she used it was before ascending the throne, in the battle with the Lingping Empress!”
These Soul Clan powerhouses who had followed the Rose Empress in campaigns for thousands of years had only witnessed her use this trump card once—to compete for the Empress position.
“Damn it!”
“That guy is from Xingyun Continent. How did he get here?!”
Everyone began considering Jun Changxiao. After all, they’d personally heard this guy say he represented Xingyun Continent to settle accounts!
“In the Absolute Domain, that guy is doomed.”
“But if the Empress pursues this matter, we’ll probably all be implicated.”
They hadn’t invaded Xingyun Continent, yet someone from Xingyun Continent had entered their home territory—this was no small matter!
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Inside the Absolute Domain, Jun Changxiao exchanged dozens more moves with the Rose Empress before landing on the ground drenched in sweat, muttering: “The spiritual energy in my spirit core is depleting faster than outside!”
Moreover.
Even now, just standing still, spiritual energy would unconsciously be consumed!
The system said: “If the host continues fighting like this, the Qiankun Talisman’s effect won’t end before spiritual energy is completely exhausted.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao fell silent.
The Rose Empress suspended in midair, looking at him through her nostrils: “Did you notice energy consumption is very fast?”
“Of course.”
“It’s not randomly dissipating, but fusing into my body.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao’s expression turned ugly.
No wonder he was getting more tired while she was getting more energized—she was stealing his spiritual energy!
This Absolute Domain was too evil!
“Xiao Bai.”
The Rose Empress said: “Your formidability exceeded my expectations.”
“My name is Jun Changxiao!” Jun Changxiao swung his sword upward, roaring: “Don’t call me Xiao Bai!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The two engaged in fierce combat in midair again.
From the situation, although the Rose Empress in the Absolute Domain had strong defense, she still couldn’t handle Jun Changxiao with the Difficult to Sheathe Blade!
She wasn’t anxious at all, because this kind of trump card was primarily about attrition. As long as she defended, sooner or later the opponent would be exhausted!
The Rose Empress wasn’t anxious, but Jun Changxiao was!
The Qiankun Talisman already had a time limit. Now in the Absolute Domain with accelerated spiritual energy consumption, if he couldn’t defeat the opponent, he’d really become a servant!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Jun Changxiao launched a frenzied bombardment. The second-form Difficult to Sheathe Blade could be said to be at full power, the explosive sword energy scattering everywhere. But when it struck the space barriers, it only left shallow marks, unable to shatter them!
The more this happened, the more the Rose Empress chose to avoid direct confrontation.
Honestly, after being thoroughly beaten earlier, although her injuries had healed, her combat power was still significantly weakened, so choosing direct confrontation definitely wasn’t wise.
“Huff!”
“Huff huff!”
After several minutes, Jun Changxiao stood on the ground gasping for breath, beads of sweat the size of beans seeping from his forehead.
The Rose Empress said in surprise: “You can hold out quite well.”
With his earlier reckless outbursts, if it were her, she’d probably have collapsed exhausted on the ground by now.
Jun Changxiao could be so sturdy not because he drank kidney tonic, but because he had two spirit cores in his body. However, after just ten minutes of outburst, more than half had already been consumed.
“Damn it!”
He angrily raised his head: “I should have killed you with one sword just now!”
“No.”
The Rose Empress said: “You never had the chance.”
In this kind of originally extremely serious situation, the system really wanted to laugh out loud, because what this woman said was exactly what the host had just said, with the same tone and inflection, but the people were switched—it was too comedic!
“Give up.”
The Rose Empress said: “Obediently become my servant. I’ll treat you well.”
Although she already knew this guy came from Xingyun Continent, she still hoped to subjugate him. After all, as long as she trained him well in the future, he could follow her in campaigns.
“Slap!”
Jun Changxiao covered his face with his hand and laughed “hahaha” while leaning back tactically.
“What are you laughing at?” The Rose Empress frowned.
Jun Changxiao threw the Difficult to Sheathe Blade on the ground, his laughter gradually becoming more sinister: “Laughing at how self-righteous you are.”
The Rose Empress said indifferently: “Could it be you still have a trump card that can break my Absolute Domain?”
“Correct!”
Jun Changxiao suddenly raised his hand. The statue obtained from the Plane Battlefield appeared out of thin air, then floated before him.
“Swish!”
His hands came together, clamping it between his palms.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
Violent energy surged madly from within the statue. Jun Changxiao whose soft black hair was blown wildly raised his head, staring fixedly at the Rose Empress, his gaze cold: “Ugly woman, welcome the hell demon!”
“Don’t be rash!”
The system roared: “This object will cause the host to lose…”
“Transform!”
Jun Changxiao shouted!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
The statue’s red light flashed, transforming into countless rays of radiance!
Red pattern lines like some kind of ancient prohibition appeared on Jun Changxiao’s skin, then his entire body transformed into gargoyle form.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The violent and terrifying aura emanating from his body grew even stronger, shaking the Absolute Domain violently.
The Rose Empress’s gaze became grave.
“Not good!”
Suddenly, her pupils contracted.
“Boom—”
In an instant, a large hand seemingly condensed from stone reached over, directly blasting the Rose Empress away. She crashed heavily into the barrier, causing the trembling to intensify.
“Stomp! Stomp!”
Jun Changxiao, his entire body petrified, charged forward with heavy steps, then leaped up and swung his right fist viciously downward at her.
“Boom!”
The Rose Empress didn’t have time to dodge and bore the explosive impact with her armored body. Her entire form was immediately embedded in the space barrier.
Outside.
The Soul Clan warriors discovered that a small area of the suspended energy sphere suddenly bulged out!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Inside the Absolute Domain, Jun Changxiao with the statue’s power launched a new round of bombardment!
With each strike, the space barrier was indented, and the sphere appearing in the Soul Clan warriors’ vision bulged out, exactly like the scene in Kung Fu where Stephen Chow detoxified inside a lamp shade!
“Not good!”
“It’s going to explode!”
“Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!”
“Boom—”
Just as the Soul Clan warriors started moving, the Absolute Domain exploded, the resulting shockwave instantly sweeping them away. They fell to the ground spitting blood wildly!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Within the exploding air currents, the petrified Jun Changxiao walked out through the air, his right hand raising the Rose Empress whose green battle armor was shattered in multiple places and whose complexion had weakened to the extreme.
“Thump!”
He threw the person on the ground. The Difficult to Sheathe Blade flew over.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao placed the sword at her neck, saying grimly: “Is the battle over?”
“…”
Having been thoroughly beaten again in the Absolute Domain, the Rose Empress was now completely exhausted. The dark green armor gathered on her body gradually dissipated, and sword marks appeared on her body again.
Lost.
She had truly lost this time.
“Empress!”
The Soul Clan powerhouses stood up one after another, disregarding their own injuries as they charged forward!
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao raised his petrified hand, using invisible force to bind a powerhouse comparable to a Martial Saint, then with a “bang” directly crushed him into a blood mist on the spot.
This scene shocked the other Soul Clan warriors into horror.
“Don’t come over!”
The Rose Empress gathered her last bit of strength and shouted three complete words.
However, at this moment it wasn’t a question of whether they came over or not, but whether Jun Changxiao would spare them!
“Swish!”
He raised his hand again, using invisible force to bind two Soul Clan powerhouses. With two bangs, they transformed into a shower of blood.
This kind of casual annihilation of powerhouses comparable to Martial Saints was simply too terrifying!
“Jun Changxiao!”
The Rose Empress’s face was pale: “Don’t… harm them! I… am willing to become your maidservant!”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao grabbed her with one hand, tilting his head with a sinister smile: “Foolish woman, do you still have the qualification to make conditions before me?”
His eyes grew redder and redder, his body more and more petrified, even his voice becoming low and hoarse—that feeling was like a demon from the depths of hell gradually awakening.
“It’s over, it’s over.”
The system collapsed: “This guy has lost his reason!”
More precisely, he hadn’t lost his reason yet, but unhesitatingly annihilating Soul Clan powerhouses represented that Jun Changxiao’s soul had been controlled by the statue’s power, becoming cold-blooded and ruthless. If using more professional terminology, he was… turning dark!
