Yang Jun noticed Xiao Tian's abnormality and asked with concern.
"What's wrong, Xiao Tian?"
He had a good impression of this young man, who was the embodiment of the Water Blue Star's Heavenly Dao Will that had pledged allegiance.
Seeing the other party's sudden change in expression, he thought he was scared by the recent battle.
"Why don't you go to the base and rest for a while? This enemy is indeed tricky, and we might not be able to protect you!"
Xiao Tian was touched by Yang Jun's concern.
"Brother Jun..."
The next moment, he gritted his teeth anxiously.
"Brother Jun, why don't we surrender?"
Yang Jun's face immediately darkened.
"I consider you a brother, and you're pulling this stunt on me?"
"No..."
Xiao Tian quickly waved his hands to explain.
"That person just now said we offended the Domain Lord!"
His eyes were somewhat dazed.
"We have no power to confront an expert of that level. Surrendering earlier might give us a sliver of hope."
A surge of impulse welled up in his heart.
"Why don't I step forward and say it was me who planned things behind the scenes, and they let Brother Jun and the others go!"
Yang Jun became a little nervous by his actions and words.
"What kind of Domain Lord is this that's so terrifying?"
He pointed at the puppet Xiao Feng.
"We're not afraid of them at all!"
"Xiao Tian, don't boost the enemy's morale..."
Xiao Tian's face turned pale and wretched.
"Brother Jun, you don't understand. It's not a matter of fear, it's just not the same level..."
"I didn't expect anyone to recognize it?"
The red-clothed man seemed to have overheard their conversation and interjected with a light laugh.
He scrutinized Xiao Tian and exclaimed in realization.
"So you are the Heavenly Dao Will of this world. No wonder you have some insight."
Having his identity revealed in one go, Xiao Tian's face turned even paler.
He no longer knew what to say.
Instead, the red-clothed man controlled another clone to join the battle, facing Puppet Xiao Feng with two against one.
The three of them fought fiercely.
He himself began to explain with great interest.
"Speaking of which, your world is quite interesting."
"You don't even know about existences like Domain Lords, yet you can produce powerhouses at the Transcendent Realm, and even Level Eleven experts."
He looked at Puppet Xiao Feng, who was fighting two against one without falling behind, with some admiration.
Yang Jun, seeing that the other party seemed approachable, boldly tried to probe.
"Level Eleven?"
"You mean our Brother Feng."
"In reality, he has only unleashed less than one percent of his strength. He's just playing with your clones."
He had a good plan.
The levels in the universe seemed to increase by one tier for every hundredfold increase in combat power.
He deliberately exaggerated their side's strength, wanting to see the opponent's reaction.
"One percent?"
The red-clothed man sneered.
"Even if he were a hundred times stronger, he would only be Level Twelve."
"In my eyes, it's no different from Level Eleven!"
Seeing his confident demeanor, Yang Jun felt something was amiss.
But he still cautiously asked.
"Aren't you bragging a bit too much?"
"Your two clones can only fight Brother Feng, who is Level Eleven, to a stalemate."
"When our Brother Feng unleashes his seal, even your true form might only be evenly matched, right?"
The red-clothed man shook his head, his eyes showing disappointment.
"So you truly don't understand."
"Alright, I won't tease you any longer!"
He put away his smile, his eyes flashing.
Instantly.
The countless other clones, as if injected with adrenaline, all charged towards Puppet Xiao Feng.
The siege of dozens of people immediately increased the pressure significantly.
Yang Jun could no longer hide his strength.
He quickly ordered Puppet Xiao Feng to unleash his full power.
For a time.
His attacks firmly suppressed the clones.
None of them could withstand a single move head-on.
Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
The red-clothed man also responded.
"So you weren't lying. He does have Level Twelve strength."
Yang Jun raised his head proudly, "Are you afraid, Your Excellency?"
"I'm afraid?"
The red-clothed man paused, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
He looked at Yang Jun with pity.
"The ignorant are fearless. What pitiful beings!"
*Swish!*
His figure suddenly disappeared from his original spot.
The next moment, he appeared very close to Puppet Xiao Feng.
"Brother Feng, be careful!"
Just as he attacked, Xiao Tian couldn't help but shout.
Yang Jun felt a sense of foreboding.
He quickly maneuvered Puppet Xiao Feng to defend against the attack.
*Bang!*
However, the opponent's attack, which far exceeded expectations, still pushed back Puppet Xiao Feng, even with his defenses fully activated and a Hongmeng Spirit Treasure-level defensive artifact engaged.
Puppet Xiao Feng was sent staggering back over a dozen meters.
Although he could still barely stand, cracks had appeared all over his body.
He was clearly severely injured.
The team members all looked grim.
How could the opponent be so strong?
Yang Jun's body went cold, and he swayed precariously.
Who was this person? How could he not even be stopped by Puppet Xiao Feng, who was empowered by the faith of the protector?
Did that mean.
As long as this person willed it.
Let alone them.
Even the entire Water Blue Star could be easily manipulated by him?
At this moment, Xiao Tian's voice drifted over again.
"Brother Jun, this is someone from the Domain Lord's faction."
Seeing Yang Jun still bewildered.
He quickly explained.
"A large number of planets forming a galaxy, and several adjacent galaxies are collectively called a star domain."
"And the ruler of a star domain is called a Domain Lord!"
Yang Jun listened as if hearing scriptures from heaven.
"So, does that mean the opponent is at least two tiers above us?"
Only after understanding the terrifying nature of a Domain Lord did he comprehend.
No wonder the opponent knew that Puppet Xiao Feng might be a Level Twelve powerhouse, ten thousand times stronger than a Transcendent, yet remained unfazed.
According to Xiao Tian's explanation.
Transcendent Realm experts in a planet might be considered strong, but in a galaxy, they were just ordinary people.
And those at Level Eleven or Twelve, even if they could make a name for themselves in a galaxy, were not the absolute top tier within an entire star domain.
Moreover, this person was a Domain Lord.
Even if he was only one level higher than Level Twelve, he was far beyond their ability to resist.
However.
He did not give up struggling.
Since defense was proving ineffective, he decided to try offense.
He controlled Puppet Xiao Feng and began to move around continuously.
Attempting to use ranged attacks to see if he could injure the opponent.
But the result disappointed him.
The opponent's movements were extremely agile.
Although Xiao Feng's attacks were fast, they were still difficult to hit the opponent's body.
He gritted his teeth.
He began to burn the faith power stored within Xiao Feng.
Although this was just a puppet, and there wasn't much it could utilize.
It could still unleash several moves far beyond its own capabilities by relying on the continuous flow of faith power from the protector.
Its most powerful move could even unleash energy tens of times its own combat power in an instant.
Although after unleashing it, it would be unable to use faith-based moves for a short period.
And it would even be somewhat affected.
But in this life-or-death situation, he couldn't afford to worry about that.
He seized an opportunity, taking advantage of the opponent's momentary carelessness.
He first accelerated to close the distance.
Using his artifact, he launched two consecutive control-type divine abilities.
Then, he burned all the faith power at once.
Unleashing a world-shattering move.
*Bang!*
Instantly.
An extremely dazzling light erupted.
Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.
Yang Jun had seen it clearly just moments before.
Both the control effects and the final move had successfully hit the opponent.
Although the blinding light obscured his immediate view of the result.
He still rejoiced inwardly.
This time.
The opponent should be dead, right?
