Chapter 1291: The Power of Domain Force

All the influence you’ve gained for Queen Thalia will become meaningless with a single command from the Beast Emperor clan. The entire Serpent-men race and all the subordinate forces currently under Queen Thalia’s control will be utterly annihilated by the boundless power of the Beast Clan from the far northern wilderness. Your arrogant ambitions, along with the civilization you’ve built, will completely vanish from the lands of the far northern wilderness.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but touch his chin, a look of confusion on his face.

“So, all your pride stems from the confidence given to you by the Beast Emperor lineage, correct? What if I had a way to completely sever your connection with the Beast Emperor clan? Wouldn’t the situation change then?”

Xu Yang’s direct words put a certain amount of pressure on the Tiger King Venerable before him. However, after a moment of thought, the opponent regained his composure and slowly gave his reply.

“I don’t believe you have the ability to do that, because the moment you lay a hand on me, the Beast Emperor’s legacy power within me will be instantly activated. This power is essentially a form of surveillance by the Beast Emperor clan over us, the Ten King Guardians. Once this power is activated, any damage to my physical body or soul will be immediately known to the Beast Emperor clan. They will also dispatch an envoy team to inspect my Tiger King clan at once. By then, even if I have fallen, you will never be able to escape their encirclement.”

Xu Yang nodded as if enlightened. However, what he did next shocked everyone. With a slight tremor of his foot, an incredibly brilliant golden light rapidly spread around his body. In a very short time, it swiftly covered every corner of the battlefield. This was the Angel Domain, the most powerful ability of the Angel race. Within this domain, all elemental powers would be rendered null, and Xu Yang was the absolute master within its confines.

The appearance of this golden light surpassed the Tiger King Venerable’s previous imagination. He tried to immediately activate the Beast King power within him, but he quickly realized that although the power was activated, the instinct deep within his soul to communicate with the Beast Emperor clan through this power had vanished. The Tiger King Venerable stared at Xu Yang with astonished eyes and soon received Xu Yang’s reply.

“Don’t look at me with such an incredulous expression. If I didn’t have a few tricks up my sleeve, how could I have rashly brought Queen Thalia to your territory? Wouldn’t that just invite disaster for the Serpent-men race? Since I dared to appear before you, I am 100% confident I can make you surrender. Now, feel free to try connecting mentally with the Beast Emperor clan. If you succeed, I’ll admit defeat.”

Regrettably, the Tiger King Venerable soon fell into despair after several consecutive, fruitless attempts.

“How did you do it? What is the origin of this golden light?”

Xu Yang smiled and spread his hands, a helpless expression on his face.

“The word ‘Angel’ is probably quite unfamiliar to you. I can only tell you this much: within my Angel Domain, you are like a speck of dust in this world, and I am its master. The distinction between our statuses is that clear. Whether you live or die, no matter how frantically you unleash your energy using any means, within the embrace of this golden light, you can never harm me in the slightest. And I am like a god who can dictate your fate; with just a single thought, any part of your body enveloped by this golden light can instantly dissipate. If you don’t believe me, I can let you feel it.”

Xu Yang’s words exerted an incredible, terrifying pressure on the Tiger King Venerable, yet the opponent did not give up, continuing to struggle repeatedly. But he quickly realized that no matter how powerful the force he unleashed, he couldn’t create any disturbance within the area enveloped by the golden light. Instead, with a slight movement of Xu Yang’s palm, a dark golden ‘Limitless Sword Qi’ quickly materialized. Guided by a simple flick of Xu Yang’s finger, this brilliant sword light began to rapidly approach the opponent’s physical form.

The aura of this sword light was not as sharp as one might imagine. However, just as Xu Yang said, all living beings within the golden light’s embrace were merely playthings to him, to be slaughtered at will. Even if the sword light he conjured wasn’t particularly powerful, as long as Xu Yang willed it, it could unleash terrifying, world-shattering power in the next instant, because within the domain of this light, Xu Yang’s will was supreme.

“You probably never imagined that you, the exalted Tiger King Venerable, one of the Ten King Guardians, would one day become meat on a chopping block, to be carved up as I please, did you? In truth, you can’t blame yourself; once you reached this position, you had no other choice. Even encountering opponents like us this time wasn’t your desire, but fate is simply inscrutable. We are likely the greatest tribulation of your life, but unfortunately, you lack the ability to overcome it.”

Xu Yang’s voice sounded casual, but every word was as sharp as if it could pierce the Tiger King Venerable’s soul. As the sword light he conjured gently sliced down, the Tiger King Venerable’s pre-existing will instantly detached. And the moment it detached, the flesh of his entire forearm rapidly disintegrated and vanished like dust scattering in the light. Throughout the process, the Tiger King Venerable didn’t feel even a trace of pain. It was precisely because of this that he felt his life becoming increasingly ethereal, no longer real. He couldn’t even discern what was real and what was fake around him. Even the Beast Emperor’s legacy power, which he prided himself on most, could no longer offer him any help. “It’s hard to imagine that someone with such unparalleled strength would still covet my status as a Ten King Guardian. I want to know your true purpose for coming here and doing all this.”

Xu Yang had been waiting for this very question from the Tiger King Venerable. He smiled and nodded gently.

“Excellent. You’ve brought up this core topic ahead of time, so I’ll go with the flow and offer you a chance for self-salvation. I want to know all the secrets concerning the ‘Heart of the Sacred Beast’. Tell me, and you can achieve a new rebirth. Not only will you retain all your current status and position, but I can also elevate your strength further. Of course, this is just one of the conditions for information exchange. If you refuse to tell me this secret, I have many other ways to get the answer regardless.”
