"Boom!"
Qin Qi raised his arm to block, the shockwave exploded, making the entire alloy arena seem to sink three inches as a whole.
Luo Yu locked eyes with those terrifying blood pupils.
"You kneel down, swear loyalty to me, and beg me to give you a chance to be your big brother?"
"Is that what you mean?"
Qin Qi seemed to have lost patience, slowly shaking his head.
"You don't know what's good for you."
"Let me tell you the truth."
"Right now, this is just ten percent of my strength, no matter how strong a domain is, it's just a domain. Your domain can't withstand a single blow from my world of slaughter."
"Boom!"
Qin Qi fully activated his world of slaughter, the entire microcosm roiling with murderous energy, like boiling water, countless wailing souls emitting piercing screams that shook the air, as if to shatter space and obliterate Luo Yu's divine spirit and internal organs.
A god of slaughter clad in blood-red armor appeared, majestic, holding a red blade that incessantly dripped blood.
"God of Slaughter!"
"Bai Qi."
Bai Qi, the legendary figure who had massacred a 400,000-strong army, yet within this world of slaughter, there were far more than 400,000 wronged souls, and they weren't the souls of mortals; they all were vengeful spirits of martial artists with profound cultivation, now fully activated, their killing intent surging to the skies.
Luo Yu's Domain of the Flame Emperor was compressed to within three feet of his body, the arena having become Qin Qi's world entirely.
"Xia Luo is going to lose, a third-grade domain, how can it contend with the Dao Ze World."
"Exactly, he's at a disadvantage because of the domain."
"Too terrifying, how many must have been killed to have such a horrifying aura of slaughter."
The thousands of Martial University students watching couldn't help but shiver, feeling a chill down their spines; even though Qin Qi intentionally controlled the murderous energy from leaking out, it was enough to make their hearts tremble with fear and nearly lose their minds.
Shi Kai's expression grew grave, the vast spiritual power within his body surged, ready to intervene at any moment. Even if Luo Yu were to be defeated now, it wouldn't diminish his status in Shi Kai's heart. Losing to such a powerful Dao Ze World was nothing to be ashamed of, which was completely normal.
"No matter how strong a domain is, it's just a domain? Is that so."
Luo Yu's smiling expression vanished, his eyes gleaming sharply, as the majestic figure of a black and golden dragon robe appeared behind him.
The roars of the black dragon and the overlaying Domain of Ancestral Dragon on top of the Domain of the Flame Emperor forcibly carved out space within the terrifying world of slaughter.
Three feet around him belonged to Luo Yu.
"Martial Marquis of Peace Bai Qi, having seen the Ancestral Dragon, do you not kneel?" Luo Yu's voice was stern as he bellowed.
The figure standing in the center of the world of slaughter, holding a red sword, wavered.
Qin Qi's eyes flashed with astonishment.
He hadn't expected Luo Yu to have the First Emperor's Spirit behind him, an unthinkable reality, but he wasn't flustered.
Instantly, he underwent spirit possession, human-spirit fusion.
"Boom!"
The massive shadow of the blood-colored warrior in the air rapidly shrank, merging into one with Qin Qi, boosting the already formidable aura surging from Qin Qi even further.
The alloy arena beneath him screeched mournfully, cracking inch by inch, unable to withstand the horrific pressure.
"All students retreat!" Yang Cang shouted.
At the same time, Shi Kai took action, unfurling his Domain of Control outside the arena, preventing the overflow of the battle's residual effects.
Qin Qi, with a blood-dripping red sword in hand, clad in white armor that remained unstained, his blood pupils emitting a bone-chilling cold light.
He looked down disdainfully at the Ancestral Dragon Shadow and Luo Yu.
"A later ruler like you, how dare you demand the war god of a former era to kneel?"
"Presumptuous."
A sword stroke was cast, changing the heavens and the earth, a terrifying blood-red sword light cleaved down upon Luo Yu, trembling the surrounding space in anguish.
"It's you who are presumptuous," Luo Yu's eyes burst with brilliance, the Ancestral Dragon Spirit possessing him, with a raise of his hand he struck with the Jade Seal.
The Domain of the Flame Emperor and the Ancestral Dragon erupted in dazzling brilliance.
"Clang!"
A colossal clang sounded in the air, deafening, making everyone involuntarily cover their ears, astonished by the battle unfolding before them.
The Imperial Jade Seal was knocked flying back, and the soaring blood-colored sword light also vanished into nothingness.
"He blocked it?"
"Luo Yu managed to block Qin Qi, who possesses the Dao Ze World, with his domain?"
"Damn, a first-grade fighting a third-grade for so long without prevailing, it's simply outrageous."
Bai Xiao'e covered her red lips in surprise, while the classical beauty beside her also showed a look of astonishment; they hadn't expected Qin Qi, once he got serious, to fail to gain the upper hand over Luo Yu.
The crowd fell into shock, but Luo Yu himself was clearly not satisfied, shaking his head and sighing.
"If I were also first-grade, this Jade Seal would have turned you to ashes, not just ended in a standoff."
These words were particularly grating to Qin Qi.
With his formidable talent and unparalleled strength, not being able to instantly defeat a third-grade Luo Yu was a disgrace in his life.
"Rumble—"
The Power of Heaven and Earth from the world of slaughter was now fully supporting Qin Qi, fueling his arrogance.
And it was not over yet, Qin Qi spoke out coldly.
"To slay one is a sin, to kill a hundred a hero, to cut down a thousand a champion, to slaughter ten thousand a king, only with the blood of countless souls does one ascend to the supreme throne of the god of death."
"A million vengeful spirits, all absorbed into my being."
"Break open for me!"
Countless malevolent spirits from the world of slaughter poured into Qin Qi's body. The murderous aura emanating from Qin Qi surged violently, and streams of blood overflowed from him. That was the tangible killing intent, flowing on the ground and rushing towards Luo Yu.
"Has Qin Qi's cultivation level reached such an extent?" Shi Kai's expression grew even uglier, never before aware that Qin Qi possessed such a technique.
A million vengeful spirits entering the body, such immense divine power, and he isn't afraid of his mind dissipating or his body exploding into pieces?
The president was shocked, not to mention the other students; this technique of melding a million vengeful spirits had them trembling in their souls.
Luo Yu's eyes were solemn as he watched all this coldly.
As one of the Eight Great Young Masters, and a top genius of Great Xia, it would be surprising if Qin Qi only had the strength he displayed earlier. Now, with the Evil Soul Possession, the energy exhibited was even more terrifying than in the Secret Realm. The recently revived Mountain Lord might also be blown apart.
Being already a First-Grade Late Stage prodigy, it was not strange for him to reach the top combat power of First Rank Summit when playing such a trump card.
"To force me to use Evil Soul Possession, your efforts have been worthwhile," Qin Qi said, as the murderous intent of the entire heaven and earth boiled and surged.
"Your dual domains can now be shattered."
Qin Qi pointed a finger, and in an instant, a blood-colored giant finger descended from the sky, the space itself showing faint cracks.
"Not good," Shi Kai muttered as he summoned the Stone Guardian Ancient Spirit, his spiritual power surged, ready to intervene in the fight.
Luo Yu, sensing the disturbance outside the arena, turned and said, "President, there's no need to intervene. Just ensure the protection of the surrounding students."
He looked up at the sky-obscuring finger and said slowly:
"You do not approve of the dual domains."
"Then what about the triple?"
"Boom!"
Another majestic imperial figure emerged from Luo Yu's body, holding a longsword with one side depicting mountains and rivers and the other side showcasing the sun, moon, and stars.
One of the Five Emperors, the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan.
The whole place was shocked; this was their first time seeing this particular ancient spirit of Luo Yu's.
Little Fatty was dumbfounded: "Boss... the boss has not only Emperor Yan but also the Yellow Emperor?"
"Yan... Yellow Two Emperors?" Huo Tongtian's mouth hung open.
Li Zhenyue was at a loss for words; just how many ancient spirits did this guy have?
The descent of the giant finger slowed for a moment.
Luo Yu's expression was commanding as he said coldly:
"If three domains are not enough, what about four?"
"Rumble!"
Yet another imperial figure appeared, one of the Five Emperors, Shao Hao.
The fall of the giant finger slowed even more.
Luo Yu's voice rose again.
"Open the Five Domains!"
"Boom boom!!!"
One of the Five Emperors, Shao Hao, made his appearance.
The blood-colored giant finger trembled, and the light from the domains around Luo Yu continued to spread outwards, repelling the blood, while Qin Qi stared at Luo Yu, his usually impassive face now etched with disbelief.
"You..."
"If that's not enough, then let's go with the Six Domains."
Luo Yu's eyes shone with dazzling golden light, and once again, a grand imperial figure, the last of the Five Emperors, Zhuanxu, stepped forward.
Domains cannot be stacked at will, but the Five Emperors and the First Emperor all possessed imperial strength, their abilities complementing each other.
Six Domains, united as one, were like the cycle of reincarnation, endless and everlasting.
With a grand explosion, the emperor's dragon chant shook the heavens.
In an instant, the blood-colored giant finger was shattered, with no struggle or resistance, and the entire blood-red world was enveloped in golden light.
"You have a million vengeful spirits; I have the Presence of the Six Emperors," Luo Yu declared as the spirits of the First Emperor and the Five Emperors all merged into his body.
Endless imperial purple qi flowed out from Luo Yu, as if an ancient emperor had been resurrected, and the knees of everyone in the surrounding audience trembled.
No matter their strength, all felt the urge to kneel.
No, all martial artists below Third Grade fell to their knees without exception.
They watched Luo Yu in awe and disbelief with tingling scalps.
"Impossible!" Qin Qi cried out as he charged with his sword.
"Begone!"
Enshrouded in the imperial purple qi, Luo Yu flicked his finger, and with a resounding clang, the Blood Sword directly exploded and shattered.
Qin Qi's eyes filled with disbelief as he spat out blood and was sent flying backward...
