This was inside the Celestial Domain.
The Celestial was completely different from when Ling Xiaolong first activated it.
Initially, it was divided into three regions, representing his three bloodlines. However, now, there was no region, only one extremely vast space filled with spatial distortion. His Celestial Domain was in complete Chaos.
It might be because of the disappearance of his three bloodlines, but the Celestial Domain seemed to be lacking many things.
When Ling Xiaolong and Elder Xu appeared, they were in a mysterious place where neither the sky nor the land could be discerned. The surroundings were enveloped in complete darkness, and a relentless storm wreaked havoc on the domain. The chaotic tempest attacked relentlessly, causing the space itself to warp and break apart sporadically.
The absence of clear boundaries between the sky and the land created an eerie atmosphere, intensified by the constant assault of the storm. The darkness that prevailed added an element of mystery to the Celestial Domain.
The storm, on the other hand, was like a formidable force of nature, battering the Celestial Domain incessantly. Its fury distorted the fabric of space, creating an unstable environment.
The space itself exhibited signs of strain, succumbing to the relentless onslaught of the chaotic storm.
"What is this place? This doesn't look like a domain at all!"
Elder Xu was utterly shocked when he appeared inside Ling Xiaolong's Celestial Domain.
As a Master of Chaos, he has his own domain. Not to mention, he had fought countless battles from the time when he stepped into the Celestial Awakening Realm to the time when he became a Master of Chaos. He had seen and entered countless warriors' Celestial Domain.
However, he never saw a Celestial Domain like this one. This Celestial Domain sort of looked void, but it also felt like many pieces of its essential pieces were missing.
"I wonder!"
Ling Xiaolong sighed and shook his head. The three regions were gone. The traces of his mysterious bloodline had also disappeared from the Celestial Domain.
"Let's start!"
Ignoring everything, Ling Xiaolong was ready to battle Elder Xu. He disappeared and appeared behind Elder Xu, punching hard on his back.
Yet, Elder Xu had not let down his guard from the moment he appeared inside Ling Xiaolong's Celestial Domain. He knew that inside their domain, a warrior was the king. Unless the difference in strength between two warriors is great, breaking through another person's domain is very difficult.
When Ling Xiaolong disappeared, he immediately wrapped his body with Origin Energy and responded with a turning with his back while using his palm to easily block Ling Xiaolong's attack.
"I guess, you are not a Master of Chaos for nothing!"
Ling Xiaolong muttered. Elder Xu's response was really quick. As expected of someone who is a Master of Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong attacked again. This time, since he was standing half a meter away from Elder Xu. he struck with his leg.
But Elder Xu's body was wrapped in Origin Energy. This Origin Energy not only acted as a defensive armor, it also acted as a radar. The moment Ling Xiaolong's leg reached the range of Origin Energy, it detected and provided details to Elder Xu, who in turn backed away and created distance between them.
After successfully dodging Ling Xiaolong's attack, Elder Xu took the initiative and chased after Ling Xiaolong at an extreme speed. In between, he changed direction and then attacked.
Ling Xiaolong also responded swiftly to his attack.
Just like that, a battle started between Ling Xiaolong and Elder Xu. They did not use any flashy moves in their fight, however, their attacks were by no means simple.
Every exchange of attack produced shockwaves strong enough to further distort the space inside the Celestial Domain and intensify the storm constantly assaulting this distorted space.
This was a continuous process that kept repeating again and again.
Although the space inside was constantly distorting, the shell of the domain showed no sign of breaking. On the ship, this large black sphere was silently floating above the remains of buildings, with people waiting by the side.
After more than twenty exchanges, the two of them separated.
Elder Xu's eyes were full of shock. He could not help but feel apprehensive. At the same time, he was looking at Ling Xiaolong as if Ling Xiaolong was a monster.
"I can't believe it. How can a Celestial Sovereign stand toe to toe with a Master of Chaos? Especially when you're only at the Seventh Stage of the Celestial Sovereign Realm," he exclaimed.
Ling Xiaolong did not answer. He looked at his hand and muttered, "It is still not enough!"
Looking at Elder Xu, he said, "Shall we fight for real?"
"Hehe... Of course. You are too strong to let go. I have to kill you, otherwise, you might end up becoming an enemy that Dark God's Valley will find difficult to kill. I can't let a demon live when I have an opportunity to kill prematurely."
A killing intent burst out from his eyes as they glowed with a red hue. Dark energy started rising from his body. He called Ling Xiaolong a demon, but the current him looked more like a demon than Ling Xiaolong.
"Silent Reaper Style!"
Elder Xu raised his hands and intertwined his fingers in a graceful dance that seemed to trace the outline of invisible shadows. The air around him thickened, and a chilling breeze swept the surroundings. If anyone was present here, this must have caused them to shiver involuntarily.
As he advanced with deliberate steps, his movements became fluid, yet eerily silent. It was as if Elder Xu had merged with the shadows themselves.
Suddenly, he lunged forward with supernatural speed, his form blurring as he approached Ling Xiaolong. With a swift and almost undetectable motion, Elder Xu's palm connected with Ling Xiaolong's chest. There was no thunderous clash or flashy display of energy; instead, the Ling Xiaolong crumpled to the ground, completely immobilized.
"The true mastery of the Silent Reaper Style lay in its subtlety. My strike had disrupted the flow of your energy channels within your body, rendering you temporarily paralyzed."
Elder Xu muttered as he looked at Ling Xiaolong.
Throughout this exchange, Ling Xiaolong did not even raise his hand to try to counter his attack. He remained standing in one place, as if desperately wanted to personally experience an attack made by a Master of Chaos using a skill.
"It is time to kill you!"
Elder Xu coldly stared at Ling Xiaolong and approached him with the intention of killing him.
Ling Xiaolong was heavily wounded and blood was pouring out from his wound and mouth. He could not move because of the disruption in the energy channels within his body.
As Elder Xu arrived in front of Ling Xiaolong, he took out a sword and attempted to slash his neck off his body. However, before he could make this strike, Ling Xiaolong's body shone with ethereal light, and the next moment, he disappeared from the original place.
"What?"
"Where is he?"
Elder Xu could not be more shocked. He hurriedly looked around, feeling uneasy in his heart.
It was only now he noticed that he was still inside Ling Xiaolong's Celestial Domain. No matter how destructive his attacks were, although they could disrupt the interior of the domain completely, they could not break it. The Celestial Domain remained as strong as ever.
As long as the Celestial Domain is not broken, it means the opponent is not defeated. This also means his earlier attack, although heavily wounded Ling Xiaolong, was not enough to defeat him.
"That was definitely one hell of an attack!"
A voice echoed in the void-like domain, prompting Elder Xu to swiftly turn around. He saw Ling Xiaolong floating a few meters away in the air, flexing his arms, producing a crackling sound.
He observed in astonishment as Ling Xiaolong extracted a bottle filled with unfathomably potent vitality liquid and consumed a large gulp.
In the next moment, all injuries, both apparent and concealed, mended at a speed discernible to the naked eye. The disrupted channels within his body also cleared. Simultaneously, Ling Xiaolong's vitality surged to an extraordinary level.
"Bastard!"
Elder Xu soon came back to his senses and cursed out loud. He did not know what trick Ling Xiaolong used, but his heart pounded with an unknown fear for the first time.
His previous attack, by no means, was ordinary. Even if it was a Master of Chaos, if landed a direct strike like he did to Ling Xiaolong, would not have been able to move for months. His injuries also would have become worse and worse with each passing second, and in the end, he would have died with no cure provided in time.
Ling Xiaolong was just a Celestial Sovereign. He should have died instantly from that attack.
Elder Xu could still comprehend the fact that Ling Xiaolong hadn't succumbed due to his tenacious vitality and was merely severely injured. However, he found it difficult to accept that just moments later, Ling Xiaolong behaved as if his attacks had little to no effect on him. He could not accept the nonchalant manner in which Ling Xiaolong was presenting himself before him.
