Chapter 1233: The Power of the Domain

The celestial soldiers and generals on the city wall were struck with awe, staring blankly at the scene.

The city gate commander immediately ordered a team of gods and demons to leave the city and investigate.

Just then, a series of enormous footprints appeared in front of the divine city, as if an invisible giant were running. What's more, where the giant ran, horrifying cracks suddenly materialized in the air, stretching for dozens of miles.

That team of gods and demons was immediately torn apart, inexplicably perishing in an instant.

"What monstrous entity dares to stir up trouble?" the city gate commander roared.

The void vibrated violently, and suddenly a dragon-head-shaped imprint appeared, followed by a giant palm print. The tremors caused intense spatial fluctuations even within the divine city.

Furthermore, the footprints seemed to be moving backward at great speed, heading directly towards the divine city.

"What exactly are those footprints?" The gods felt a chill in their hearts. A deity from the Celestial Eye tribe, whose gaze pierced through the void into the Netherworld, saw the scene within and exclaimed, "Powerful beings are clashing in the Great Void Netherworld! Their combat strength is immense, capable of affecting reality from the Netherworld. Everyone, be cautious!"

Bang, bang, bang! A series of spatial vibrations ensued. In front of the divine city, various imprints—fist marks, sword slashes, and array patterns—appeared. Something was fiercely battling in the Netherworld, causing such a significant impact on reality.

Suddenly, Bai Yuqiong's voice resonated from within the divine city: "Disciples of the Xiluo School, heed my command! Activate the protective array. Any who trespass from the Netherworld shall be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers received the order and immediately activated the array, standing ready for battle.

The protective arrays of each divine city were designed by the Four Grand Heavenly Masters, possessing immense power. Although they were not the foremost array masters in the Celestial Court, their mastery of array formations was extraordinary.

If the enemies were indeed powerful beings from the Netherworld, they would undoubtedly fall into the arrays they designed, perhaps even being annihilated in a single blow.

The gods and demons in the city collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Yuqiong ascended the city tower and looked down, her heart slightly shaken. "The strength of those approaching is extraordinary. However, this should be the territory guarded by the Yin Emperor. How could someone enter his domain?"

Bai Yuqiong stated gravely, "Investigate the scene in the Netherworld and report to me. I want to see which masters are clashing."

The celestial eyes in the army began probing the Netherworld, searching for the combatants.

In truth, no extensive search was needed. The battle between Qin Mu and Yu Wufei was incredibly grand, even affecting reality, making them easy to locate. The difficulty lay in discerning their faces.

Both individuals possessed formidable cultivation, neither wishing their true appearance to be seen. Moreover, their speed was so immense that even the celestial eyes of the Xiluo School couldn't discern who they were.

Furthermore, Netherworld divine abilities had a strange characteristic: seeing their faces would cause one to immediately forget them.

Bai Yuqiong was puzzled by the delay in reports from the celestial eyes. She wondered, "Is that pretty boy, the Yin Emperor, trying to ambush me again?"

At this moment, the ground in front of the divine city suddenly twisted and deformed. A boundless power emanated from the Great Void Netherworld, altering the landscape, causing the earth to lift, yin and yang energies to permeate, and various strange forces to erupt.

Then, countless stars appeared in the sky, and even another Netherworld formed within the Great Void Netherworld itself.

This power contained an extremely peculiar aura of the Great Dao, making Bai Yuqiong's heart skip a beat. "A domain! Someone has manifested their Great Dao Domain!"

A Great Dao Domain, also known as a Dao Realm, is a type of domain, such as the Supreme Divine Consciousness Domain of the Grand Emperor or the Sword Domain of Kaihuang. To cultivate a Dao Realm, one needs a deep understanding, comprehension, and even pioneering insight into the Dao.

Throughout the world, very few people attain the Dao, and even fewer cultivate a Dao Realm.

Bai Yuqiong had not witnessed Kaihuang's Sword Domain, but she had heard tales of Kaihuang once wielding his sword and fighting his way into the Celestial Court against Hao Tianzun, nearly splitting the Celestial Court in half.

Of the two fiercely battling in the Netherworld, one unleashed a Dao Realm. Its Great Dao was vast and boundless, yet it felt exceptionally strange, unlike the renowned Sword Domain or Divine Consciousness Domain.

This Dao Realm encompassed a multitude of Great Daos, deeply startling her. She wondered what kind of Dao Realm it was.

She wished to enter the Great Void Netherworld to investigate, but it was the Yin Emperor's territory. Although the Yin Emperor held office in the Celestial Court alongside her, they harbored deep-seated enmity, and she dared not easily step into his domain.

Within that Dao Realm, she could discern a clear line, indicating another person had inserted themselves with incredibly formidable magic power, relentlessly crashing through straight towards the master at the center of the Dao Realm.

This person's cultivation was extremely potent, actually breaking through the Dao Realm and even damaging it.

Just then, the Dao Realm suddenly became whole again, forming an encirclement around the intruder.

"The other person in the clash is likely in grave danger," Bai Yuqiong thought to herself. Being astute, she recognized the situation. "Is the Yin Emperor fighting someone? But it's impossible for him to have cultivated a Dao Realm; that pretty boy's strength is high, but his comprehension of the Great Dao isn't that strong."

The Dao Realm suddenly split open, and with a whoosh, a thousand-mile stretch of ground was torn apart. Magnificent mountains rose on either side, and a deep gorge formed in the center.

Within the Great Void Netherworld, Yu Wufei stormed into Qin Mu's Divine Treasure Domain, rampaging straight into the Ancestral Court. However, in the next instant, all the Great Dao powers within Qin Mu's domain erupted.

Yu Wufei immediately realized the danger and, exerting all her might, unleashed her divine abilities to forcefully clash with Qin Mu.

Viewing this divine ability confrontation from the Great Void, one could only see the suddenly appearing thousand-mile stretch of magnificent mountains. Yet, the scene witnessed from within was exceptionally terrifying.

Although Yu Wufei was at the Numinous Sky Realm, facing an opponent like Qin Mu, whose cultivation could not be measured by traditional realms, she still felt a profound terror on the brink of life and death.

"However, my abilities are not limited to this."

Yu Wufei was about to mobilize all her power, but at that moment, a vast divine consciousness surged directly towards her. Although Yu Wufei's cultivation method allowed her to channel the magic power of other deities, she could not compare to Han Tianjun when it came to divine consciousness.

Han Tianjun could merge with others' divine consciousness, raising his own to a level comparable to Qin Mu's, but Yu Wufei could not.

Despite her high cultivation, her understanding of the Dao was not exceptionally profound.

Han Tianjun, on the other hand, was the foremost master of array formations in the Celestial Court, surpassing Yu Wufei's comprehension of the Dao by an immeasurable margin.

The traditional Divine Treasure Heavenly Palace system emphasized power rather than the comprehension of the Dao. This often resulted in high-level cultivators having a poorer understanding of the Dao than those with lower cultivation realms.

Yu Wufei was thrown into a daze by the impact of this boundless Grand Luo divine consciousness. Her magic power spiraled out of control. In the next instant, all the power within Qin Mu's Divine Treasure Domain erupted—the seventeen Heavenly Palaces, the powers of the Dao from the various heavens like Xuandu, Youdu, Yuandu, Tianyin, and the Four Extremes Heavens—all surged with Qin Mu's strike, slamming into Yu Wufei.

The moment he struck Yu Wufei, a sudden bell chime resonated.

Qin Mu's mind roared. An inexplicable force surged, making his primordial spirit feel as though it were falling endlessly.

"The Dao of Reincarnation... this bell is very powerful!"
