The four half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouses from beyond the domain and Daoist Tianlong seemed to have reached a balance on the training ground, forming a stalemate.
The domain artifacts of the four half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouses from beyond the domain—the ancient coffin, the great mountain, the ice and snow, and the giant sword—all floated above the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill, which had also stopped rotating. The scene appeared to be frozen.
Domain artifacts were what martial artists manifested by integrating world laws and evolving them with their vital energy, serving as the 'soul' of their domains.
Earth Domain: Earth could birth all things, and also bury all things. The vital energy mountain could suppress and bury all existence in the world.
Ice Domain: All things in the world had cycles. When winter arrived, ice sealed the land, freezing everything and rendering it unable to survive.
Death Domain: All things in the world had a lifespan. From birth to death, it was a process of growth and decay, a final wilting, which no one could defy.
Sword Domain: All things in the world were illusory, only oneself was real. At the peak of the sword, one could defy heaven and cleave through falsehood.
At this moment, the four half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouses from beyond the domain were prepared to detonate their domain artifacts, destroy the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill—the manifestation of Daoist Tianlong's comprehension—thereby breaking through Daoist Tianlong's Yin-Yang Domain and killing him.
Daoist Tianlong understood this clearly.
Swish, swish, swish…
Suddenly—
His hands moved with incredible speed. Wisps of light emerged from the intersection of black and white on the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.
The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, and Two are Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang merge to become One, representing the unique law of the world.
At this moment, Daoist Tianlong was controlling the Yin-Yang Domain, confronting the four half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouses from beyond the domain. Simultaneously, he seized the initiative, using the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill as his foundation, merging Yin-Yang laws, and evolving them with his vital energy.
What is that?
In an instant, all four half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouses from beyond the domain felt the uniqueness and power of that light.
Whoosh!
The response they received was the sound of air being broken.
That beam of light suddenly shot out from the intersection of the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill and hurtled towards the half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse from beyond the domain who was controlling the Death Domain. Its speed was extreme!
Swish!
The half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse controlling the Death Domain instantly sensed a great crisis. His heart trembled, his face changed dramatically, and he subconsciously prepared to temporarily relinquish control of the vital energy ancient coffin, intending to evade the whistling Yin-Yang light.
However—
It was too late!
"Pfft—"
The half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse controlling the Death Domain, unable to evade or resist, was struck by the Yin-Yang light. His protective vital energy shattered, his left chest was pierced, his heart was crushed, and blood gushed out.
This caused his body to tremble violently. His eyes widened, and he looked at Daoist Tianlong with disbelief, as if he could not comprehend that Daoist Tianlong could launch an attack while fending off the attacks of their four domain artifacts, and moreover, kill him with a single blow!
However, the pain from his chest, the rapid loss of blood, and his increasingly blurry consciousness told him that all of this was real.
Immediately, his body lost its balance and fell backward, completely losing control of the vital energy ancient coffin. On the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill, the vital energy ancient coffin completely dimmed and vanished.
Not good!
The old woman of the Xi family from beyond the domain and the elders of the other two major families were also struck by immense waves of shock upon witnessing this scene!
Originally, they had intended to detonate their domain artifacts to kill Daoist Tianlong, but before their plan could be implemented, an ally was instantly killed!
More importantly, with the death of the half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse controlling the Death Domain, the temporary balance formed by the stalemate was directly broken.
The Yin-Yang Grinding Mill began to rotate again. The vital energy giant sword, mountain, and ice and snow, which had integrated laws, were once again being dissolved, their light gradually dimming.
Boom!
At this moment, a loud boom pierced the sky.
After breaking the stalemate, Daoist Tianlong's momentum surged again. He took a step forward and swept towards the half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse from beyond the domain who was controlling the Ice Domain.
As Daoist Tianlong advanced, the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill spun faster, and the vital energy giant sword, mountain, and ice and snow trembled as if about to dissipate.
"Ah!"
The half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse controlling the Ice Domain, seeing Daoist Tianlong approaching with the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill, was greatly shaken and roared in terror, simultaneously urging his domain with all his might, attempting to resist Daoist Tianlong.
In an instant, a vital energy-evolved ice mountain appeared before him.
The Yin-Yang Grinding Mill spun madly, like a giant chainsaw, directly slicing the ice mountain in two.
"Pfft—"
With the obstruction of the vital energy ice mountain removed, the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill instantly shredded the half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse controlling the Ice Domain!
"Why is this happening?"
"He is clearly only at the half-step Heavenly God Realm, and his comprehension of laws is inferior to ours. Why is his domain so powerful? It is almost impervious to all laws, and it can even dissolve our domains?!"
Seeing the tragic death of the half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse controlling the Ice Domain, another half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse from beyond the domain controlling the Earth Domain roared hoarsely.
They were gods who descended from the mountains. Five of them together could not kill one person who ascended the mountain, and now they were being slaughtered one by one!
This filled him with fear, anger, unwillingness, and, most of all, confusion!
There was no answer.
The response he received was the whistling Yin-Yang Grinding Mill.
Daoist Tianlong followed the same pattern, using his domain artifact, the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill, to kill his enemies within the Yin-Yang Domain!
"Pfft—"
A splash of blood appeared. The half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouse controlling the Earth Domain, like the previous three, died tragically on the spot.
Upon witnessing this, the old woman of the Xi family from beyond the domain turned deathly pale. She no longer made futile attempts to counter-attack by urging her domain, nor did she flee.
It was not that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't.
The terrifying suction force emanating from the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill prevented her from leaving. She could only resist by using her domain, but her domain artifact was being absorbed and dissolved by the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill, its power weakening.
Under such circumstances, even if Daoist Tianlong didn't attack proactively, once her domain artifact completely disappeared and her domain was breached, she would be pulled into the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill and shredded!
Moreover, Daoist Tianlong was actively moving the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill back and forth, attacking as if in no-man's-land?!
"Wait… I want to talk to you!"
As death approached, the old woman of the Xi family from beyond the domain cried out in terror.
"What qualifications do you have to talk to me?"
Daoist Tianlong calmly retorted.
"—"
The old woman of the Xi family from beyond the domain was speechless, her heart filled with unprecedented humiliation!
In the past, the outside world had invaded Earth, holding absolute superiority. Even the divine war twelve years ago had only temporarily halted the conflict due to special circumstances.
This year, first, a young prodigy named Jiang Wuming emerged from Earth, repeatedly sweeping away invaders from the outside world and causing the outside world to suffer shame time and time again.
To wash away that shame and kill Jiang Wuming, the outside world had put aside its arrogance and prejudice, no longer looking down from above. Instead, they had lowered their stance, using the guise of martial arts challenges to stop hostilities, and sent envoys for peace talks.
Just now, Jiang Wuming had swept through the younger generation of the outside world, and the Earth side wished to talk. The outside world, led by the old woman of the Xi family, refused to talk and instead intended to slaughter everyone present!
And now, when the old woman of the Xi family from beyond the domain proposed talks, there were no more opportunities for discussion.
Because she was not qualified!
Yes.
Although she was an elder of the Xi family from beyond the domain, and a powerful Heavenly God Realm expert in the outside world, on Earth, in the realm of the half-step Heavenly God Realm, before Daoist Tianlong…
She was not worthy!!
"Ah!!"
After a brief silence, the old woman of the Xi family from beyond the domain roared like a madwoman, her facial muscles twisted and her expression ferocious, channeling her domain at all costs, attempting to detonate the vital energy giant sword and perish with Daoist Tianlong.
However—
Her roar quickly vanished. Her body was caught by the Yin-Yang Grinding Mill and instantly exploded, leaving no trace of her remains!
The roar disappeared. The old man, fighting alone against five, had crushed and swept away five half-step Heavenly God Realm powerhouses from beyond the domain!
The battle ended. The old man turned, his gaze sweeping towards the grand curtain, which then dissipated.
Not a single enemy from beyond the domain remained.
In the vast training ground, only the old man stood, his back to the world.
"Uh…"
Looking at the old man's back, both the martial artists present at the scene and the martial artists from various countries watching through the divine network broadcast were stunned!
This included Jiang Wuming, who had already witnessed Daoist Tianlong's strength at Dragon Tiger Mountain, as well as Zhuge Lingjun and Saint Lun @ Roman, who were also at the half-step Heavenly God Realm, and even the Hall Master of the Underworld and Anthony @ Roman, who were watching from in front of the screen.
At this moment.
Time seemed to stop. That frail old man became the sole focus of the global martial arts community!
Then…
A voice broke the silence of the training ground.
"I am Jiang Wuming's master."
Under the gaze of global martial artists, the old man turned, his gaze falling upon the young man, and slowly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it resonated throughout the entire global martial arts community!
If the sky falls, the master will bear it.
The young man's heart trembled, his eyes reddening.
