Chapter 39

A faint white light appeared in Feng Xi's hand. As a gust of wind swept by, Luo Xiaohei was pressed down under Feng Xi's palm.

Looking at Luo Xiaohei, who was staring back at him, Feng Xi said in surprise, "Xiaohei, you've gotten stronger! I didn't expect you wouldn't pass out."

Turning to glance at A He, who was watching from the side, Feng Xi said curiously, "So, you didn't pass out before either? But it doesn't matter now; your domain will soon be mine."

Seeing the resolute look in Feng Xi's eyes, Luo Xiaohei sighed and looked up at the distant sky where Wuxian stood tall.

Feeling the peculiar energy fluctuations within his body attached to his spiritual space, Luo Xiaohei turned to the now pale-faced Feng Xi and said, "Yes, Feng Xi. I have become stronger. A friend told me that as long as I become stronger, perhaps I can solve the problem you mentioned."

As his spiritual power circulated, that mosquito-like stinging sensation vanished. Seeing Feng Xi bleeding from his mouth and nose, Luo Xiaohei's spiritual energy flashed across his body; the binding vines turned into powder, floating in mid-air.

Beside the livestream, an attribute panel opened, displaying Luo Xiaohei's stats.

Floating in the air, looking at the crowd surrounding him, Luo Xiaohei said, "Domain, activate!"

A world resembling the void enveloped Feng Xi and the others. Luo Xiaohei stood above, spreading his arms and said to the bewildered crowd, "Welcome to my Void Domain."

In the livestream, a series of comments scrolled by:

Kazuma Satou: Ohohohohoh! Xiaohei, this is so cool. I'll do this next time!

Klee: Klee wants this too!

Hiroshi: How is it? Pretty cool, right? I personally designed this domain opening line for Xiaohei; even the domain name was given by me.

Wuxian: ????

Hiroshi: Next time in a group mission, we'll stand at the front and shout "Domain, activate!"—definitely boss-style.

Hinata Gokou: Oh, so cool!

Luo Xiaohei: Brother Hiroshi, this is so embarrassing.

At this moment inside the domain, Feng Xi, supported by Xu Huai, stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Looking around at the seemingly infinite void with a trace of longing, he thought, "This is the domain I've dreamed of."

Turning to look at Luo Xiaohei, whose face was slightly flushed, Feng Xi calmed down and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems I can't achieve my goal. I didn't expect you to have grown so much in such a short time, Xiaohei!"

Looking back at his loyal brothers by his side, Feng Xi smiled apologetically, "Sorry, brothers, it seems our plan may fail."

Xu Huai patted Feng Xi's shoulder and silently stood on his left. Luo Zhu also smiled and moved to Feng Xi's right, and Tian Hu followed behind the three.

Looking at his brothers who had been with him for hundreds of years, Feng Xi took a deep breath, gazed at Luo Xiaohei—who had been exuding a terrifying aura since activating his domain—and smiled, "Then we brothers will fight once more."

"Then we'll support," A He and Ye Zi moved to the side, their spiritual power beginning to circulate rapidly.

A flash of white light appeared in A He's eyes as he activated his ability: Psychic Type—Puppet. He didn't hope to control Luo Xiaohei, just to interfere with his actions and buy others a bit of time.

His mental power connected to Luo Xiaohei through his eyes. Just as A He was about to act, a powerful mental energy completely crushed him. He collapsed, bleeding from his seven orifices. Looking at Luo Xiaohei, who showed no reaction, A He gave a bitter smile and murmured softly, "What an incredible monster. I'm really glad I only casually used spiritual power to make him sleep before; otherwise, I'd probably be dead now. Heh, though I guess I'm doomed this time anyway."

Beside him, Ye Zi touched the blood that had suddenly splattered onto his face. Turning to see A He lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, his eyes instantly reddened. With a roar, a large amount of rocks condensed out of thin air, merging onto his body.

Ye Zi transformed into a giant rock golem, madly charging toward Luo Xiaohei.

On the other side, Xu Huai watched as A He fell instantly and Ye Zi charged crazily at Luo Xiaohei. The corner of his mouth twitched. Seeing the rocks flying in the air and Ye Zi already defeated, cold air emanated from his body as he charged straight at Luo Xiaohei. The three behind him followed closely.

Watching the four rushing toward him—with flames, ice, trees, and various attacks filling his vision—Luo Xiaohei extended his palm and pressed downward. The space within the domain instantly solidified. The four, along with their attacks, turned into amber, frozen in space.

Looking at the immobilized group within the solidified space, Luo Xiaohei also solidified the fallen Ye Zi and A He, ensuring A He wouldn't die from excessive blood loss. Looking down at his own hands and recalling the ending in the destiny scenario, Luo Xiaohei clenched his fists.

The domain enveloping the rooftop disappeared. Luo Xiaohei and the immobilized Feng Xi and his group appeared on the rooftop.

Wuxian appeared beside Luo Xiaohei, patting his slightly downcast head, and asked, "Xiaohei, what's wrong?"

Looking up at Wuxian, Luo Xiaohei raised his fist and said firmly, "Master, I want to become stronger. Strong enough to find a way for humans and spirits to coexist peacefully. Strong enough to create a method if none exists."

Looking into Luo Xiaohei's big eyes, Wuxian smiled and said, "Mm, Master will be with you."
