Qin Feng's words finished, and then a powerful yet strange force suddenly surged from him. Everyone present felt it, as their breathing became more difficult. This immense pressure did not originate from the sky but from Qin Feng in the center of the battlefield.
As the power gathered, a sense of dread rose in everyone's hearts. The accumulation of this might was even more potent than the terrifying force from the sky. The crowd felt a peculiar sensation, as if Qin Feng's next attack could directly end their lives. Even if the attack wasn't directed at them, as long as they were within this space, it seemed they would be unable to escape!
The Immortal Venerable beside him, seeing the powerful aura suddenly emanating from Qin Feng and hearing his words, understood at that moment why Qin Feng dared to come here and confront a cultivator at the Mahayana stage. It turned out the opponent already had a sure path to victory in his heart. This powerful aura was something he himself couldn't withstand. Even if the Sect Master of Qingxuan could endure this move, he would undoubtedly be severely injured. To clash with a Mahayana stage expert at the late stage of Void Refinement, and possess such immense power, was enough to show that Qin Feng was no ordinary individual.
However, this was not the time to ponder such matters. His immediate priority was to preserve his own life, for he could see that the power within Qin Feng was growing stronger. In the next attack, even the shockwave might be something he couldn't resist. Therefore, he could no longer indulge in idle thoughts and hastily concentrated all his strength on his defenses.
Although he didn't know if this would ensure his safety, it was all he could do at the moment.
Facing Qin Feng's immense power, the Sect Master of Qingxuan's eyes widened. He understood that the power Qin Feng now possessed was truly capable of defeating him. It was the first time he had witnessed such formidable strength, and his heart beat faster than it ever had before. He knew that if he did nothing now, he would face certain death. Within this domain, he was an invincible existence, and he could alter the properties of the domain to grant himself perfect defense.
Qin Feng was gathering a great deal of power this time, but even having reached the realm of Immortals, he was confident he could withstand the opponent's attack. This was the unique domain power of the Mahayana stage cultivation. At Qin Feng's current late Void Refinement stage, he couldn't fully comprehend the might of this mystical power.
Just as he had altered the domain's properties, Qin Feng arrived beside him. Qin Feng's fist shone with golden light, and his immense power, aimed at the Sect Master of Qingxuan's chest, unleashed a fierce strike.
With a thunderous roar, the entire space vibrated violently. The ground instantly caved in by more than ten meters. The Sect Master of Qingxuan, like a cannonball fired from its sling, was heavily thrown into a corner of the space. A white light, like a solid wall, firmly caught the Sect Master of Qingxuan's body. However, the immense impact caused the surrounding space to show signs of instability, and the light dimmed slightly.
The Sect Master of Qingxuan also spat out a mouthful of blood. Clutching his chest, he squatted on the ground and looked at Qin Feng incredulously, saying, "To make me bleed within my own domain, you are the first. Your current strength can only be described as incredible. But it's a pity that within my domain, you cannot kill me. That was your most powerful strike just now, wasn't it? But it's not that simple to kill me."
After speaking, the Sect Master of Qingxuan stood up. He took a deep breath and simultaneously altered the properties of the surrounding space. In that instant, countless spiritual energies merged into the space, and the injuries sustained by the Sect Master of Qingxuan were instantly healed by the replenishment of spiritual energy. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and said to Qin Feng, "Did you see? Even though your strike just now could severely injure me, within this domain, I can recover instantly. This is the power of the domain, something you simply cannot comprehend. Now, I will kill you bit by bit, to let you know what the gap in realms means. This one step's distance is the distance between life and death."
At this moment, the others within this space, affected by the previous impact, had all fainted. They were only a step away from death.
The immense impact had completely depleted all their strength. If a major battle were to occur again within this space, or if strong energy waves were generated, these people would have nowhere to go. They were defenseless in their unconscious state, as even a three-year-old child could now take their lives.
However, the Immortal Venerable beside them had not fainted. He was also not faring well; blood was flowing from his lips. The energy shockwave from earlier had already severely injured him. This domain belonged to the Sect Master of Qingxuan, who could use spiritual energy to rapidly replenish his consumed power. But he could not. He could only rely on his own strength to resist the energy impact.
Now, only the three of them remained conscious within this space.
Seeing the Sect Master of Qingxuan unharmed and hearing his words, the Immortal Venerable knew that what he said was true. Within this domain, the gap in realms was insurmountable. Even if Qin Feng possessed world-shattering abilities, he would be helpless within the opponent's domain. The strike just now was powerful enough to split the heavens and earth, but within the domain, it couldn't kill the Sect Master of Qingxuan, nor could it shatter the domain. What the Sect Master of Qingxuan said was not wrong; within this domain, he was the sole ruler.
However, he also did not wish to see Qin Feng die here. With such abilities, it was enough to show how formidable the opponent was, and it also indicated that he had a vast power behind him, with a powerful expert guiding him. Killing Qin Feng here would bring misfortune to all living beings in this world.
With this thought, the Immortal Venerable spoke again, "Why don't we stop here today? Let's not fight anymore. I will cede the position of Immortal Venerable to you. I request you to spare him, what do you say?"
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Qingxuan turned and glanced at the Immortal Venerable. He sneered and said, "With my strength, do I need you to yield? The reason I haven't taken your position as Immortal Venerable is simply because I haven't had the time. Once I resolve this brat, the title of Immortal Venerable will naturally be mine. What right do you have to bargain with me?"
