Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
As she laughed crazily, the ground below her feet cracked apart, too. Countless gaps were moving in all directions like sharp black blades. A series of thunderous explosions seemed to be echoing from the center of the planet!
Very soon, centered at Li Linghai's feet, the cracks that looked like a spider web had spread to thousands of square meters nearby. The land was like a dry farmland that was cracked and hardened, with bumps and bumps!
BOOM! CRACK! Rumble! "
The thunderous noises from the underground grew louder and louder, and more and more shocking. They sounded like the drumming of the devils in the depths of the netherworld, and also like the hungry roars of thousands of ferocious beasts that had been sleeping for thousands of years.
The thunderous noises and roars deep below the ground seemed to have attracted the spiritual energy and magnetic field in the sky. A moment ago, it had been a peaceful night with a bright moon and dazzling stars. But now, dark clouds were surging like tides. The dark clouds collided, swallowed, and fought each other nonstop, entangling themselves into enormous swirls. Countless black eyes opened in the dark night and stared at all the creatures on the ground. Black pillars of clouds were dangling from the night sky like tentacles that were so low that they seemed to be able to bind a person's neck directly!
Everybody felt that their heart was beating fast, and they were having trouble breathing. They could be swallowed by the dark clouds at any moment!
Suddenly —
The thunderous noises below the ground turned into a shock that felt like a great explosion. The hard ground within several square kilometers seemed to have turned into a soft ocean, with surging tides rising on the surface of the ocean.
Some places were deeply sunken, as if there was a bottomless hole and fault below. In other places, stone pillars and stalagmites protruded dozens of meters high. They looked like the tusks of the underground demons, but more importantly, they looked like a bloodstained forest of blades!
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
From the interconnected stalagmites and cracks, the most intense black gas spurted out like a volcanic eruption. The black gas darted to the midair and turned into thousands of raging, hideous black dragons that hovered above everybody's head, with redness that looked like blood beaming out of their eyes!
The Black Dragon True Qi under the ground and the tentacles of dark clouds hanging low in the night sky finally intertwined with each other. Like an overwhelming black cage, more than half of the royal palace was sealed!
Li Linghai stood on the steepest stalagmite. His black hair that looked like tentacles danced even more crazily, and his white robe was corrupted by the black air, turning into a hopeless darkness like the night sky. The black swirls inside his eyes grew larger and larger, almost swallowing his entire face, the entire royal palace, the entire capital planet, and even the entire sea of stars!
Such a shocking change made the three super experts at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage, as well as Li Jiande, Dongfang Sheng, and all the Yuanying who were ambushing outside sweat hard. Their blood, Jin Dan, and Yuanying were almost all frozen!
"W-what kind of 'domain' is this?!"
Several super-class experts were terrified at the same time.
After one reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, one would be able to perform a "domain" at will and meld the world around with one's vitality field, achieving the effect of "integration of nature and human beings".
Li Jianyi, Yun Kuohai, and Song Huanzhen were all experienced experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage who had been famous for a long time. Naturally, they all had their own "domains" and had profound studies on the activation, utilization, and battle skills of the "domains".
However, they found it hard to believe that somebody could unleash a domain to such a terrifying extent that the entire world seemed to be under their control.
Was — was the guy really as good as the beginning level or even the middle level of the Divinity Transformation Stage as the intelligence said?
Even the Immortal Cultivators at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage such as themselves could not unleash such a domain even if they were burning their life and soul at all costs!
The tumor on "Devilish Abyss" Li Jianyi's bald head was bouncing like a heart after intense exercise. His eyes emitted brilliance a hundred times more intense than the sunlight as he tried to resist the terrifying domain that Li Linghai unleashed with all his mental power.
"Acyclic Earth" Yun Kuohai's two arms had both expanded to twice their original size. At first glance, they seemed to have three equally magnificent bodies that shared the same head. The giant hands that looked like cattail fans were even emitting cracking noises. His bronze skin turned extremely rough at first, and then a layer of dense scales grew out of it. Dense thorns grew out of his fingertips and the back of his hands. Two crystals the size of goose eggs protruded out of his palms, too.
The two crystals glittered in orange brilliance, like the barrels of crystal cannons that were ready to be fired at any moment!
The "sword balls" around "Star Breaker" Song Huanzhen shrieked as if they were alive. They congregated into small-scale tides that were rolling around her nonstop. Now and then, they raised sword auras that were more than ten meters long and clashed with the true dragons of black gas and the tentacles of dark clouds in midair. However, no matter how her sword auras cut the black gas and the dark clouds into pieces, the dark forces were always restored as before.
The three hunters who were determined to win all sensed the most primitive threat at the same time. The deepest part of their cells were all moaning instinctively.
Dongfang Sheng, who had just become a traitor, was even more dumbfounded. He sweated hard, not knowing what to do.
"Silver Fox" Li Jiande activated the spiritual shield of the medical chair at the earliest moment, turning the medical chair into a fully-enclosed medical cabin covered in yellow light, which managed to resist the scourge of the black gas and the dark clouds.
Although he was in the Divinity Transformation Stage, he was not a battle-type Immortal Cultivator. Besides, he had been struggling to survive for so many years and was on the verge of death all the time. How could he bear such a confrontation?
He meant to run away as soon as possible, but it was already too late. Thousands of streams of black gas and dark clouds flooded into his spiritual shield, sabotaging the power rune arrays of the medical cabin and freezing him to the spot, unable to move at all.
"You — you are not Li Linghai!"
Even the sophisticated Li Jiande had completely changed his expression at this moment. Dense cold sweat was gathering on his wrinkles, only to be vaporized by his brain that was functioning at a high speed. "Who are you? Who are you exactly?"
Li Linghai narrowed her black eyes, with an intoxicated expression on her face, as if she were dwelling in a domain that had not been stirred for a thousand years. Her face, her vibe, and even her gestures were entirely different from when she had white hair and white eyes a moment ago.
She did not think much of the five experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage and dozens of Yuanying at all. She opened her hands and enjoyed herself for a long time before she glanced at Li Jiande casually and smiled. "'Silver Fox' Li Jiande, the number one old fart of the Imperium today, you truly deserve your name. I was too focused on 'Prime Minister of Iron and Blood' Dongfang Wang to neglect you, which almost led to a great disaster.
"What a shame. If you had been more decisive in your operation and captured me in a different place a few days earlier, you would've really caused me … a lot of trouble.
"However, today, in the royal palace? Hehe. Hehehehe. You are really … asking to be killed! "
"… Me?"
Everybody finally heard Li Linghai's name clearly.
It was a title that even the four Kurfürsten did not dare to disrespect. Li Linghai … Did she —
"Don't you want to know what I got from the underground palace? Then, open your eyes and watch carefully!"
Li Linghai's smile was more and more hideous, but it was also more and more dominating. Whoever her eyes that looked like black holes would shudder in fear and almost fall on their knees. Their every breath and heartbeat were more difficult than ever, as if knives were stabbed into their throats and hearts!
"You are just deceiving us with your lies!"
"Silver Fox" Li Jiande seemed to have realized something. His face changed greatly, and his white hair stood on end. He roared crazily, "Kill her! Let's go together and kill her! She can't be very strong. She must have used all her spiritual energy to activate her domain. She's just bluffing. She wants to intimidate you so that she can defeat you one by one! Now is the best opportunity to kill her. If you miss it, nobody will be able to restrain her anymore! "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems that you have guessed my identity. As expected of 'Silver Fox'!"
With a weird smile, Li Linghai suddenly bulged her eyes and roared thunderously, "You traitors are bold enough to point your weapons at me. All your family members will be minced into pieces and never reincarnated!"
This one sentence almost caused the souls of everyone present to explode.
"However —"
A moment ago, she had been so aggressive as if she were going to behead thousands of people. But then, she suddenly held back her vibe and sneered. "Right now, we are in dire need of manpower. Also, considering that you know nothing about my identity, I can be magnanimous and give some of you one last chance to redeem yourselves.
"Listen carefully. Not just the few Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, but also the Yuanying behind you, if anyone repents and is willing to surrender to me and give me a hand to kill the traitors, I will let bygones be bygones. Not only will their lives and their families be saved, but they will also have a boundless future waiting for them.
"However, if all of you refuse to realize your mistakes and seek your own deaths, and insist on opposing me to the end, then not only will all of you die, none of your family members will be able to escape. All of you will be cut into pieces, and your souls will be extracted, and you will suffer a pain worse than death!
"Until I kill the last one of you, the promise will remain valid. Whoever stabs a knife into the back of someone next to you will know that you are a loyal subject!
"However, if you are going to stab your companions in the back, you'd better be quick, because I will only keep three of you alive. Three loyal subjects!
"Do you understand? Only three of you can save your lives and your families. The rest of you will be minced into pieces and annihilated!
"General Dongfang, the same goes for you. Although you have just betrayed me, I am still willing to give you a chance to redeem yourselves. However, let me give you a piece of advice. You'd better take action first.
"Although you are all in the Divinity Transformation Stage, you are better at commanding fleets than at fighting. If the four of you kneel before my feet and beg for mercy, and I can only keep three of you alive, I'm afraid that you … will not be able to compete with the three battle-type Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators!
"Hehe. The only way for you and the Yuanying outside to survive is to stab the three battle-type Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators in the back when they are fighting me. In that case, I will certainly be able to see your 'contributions'.
"Think carefully. Life is precious. Besides, your life right now is not just your own but also your family. Whoever dies, his family will be buried together with him in the most painful way!
