Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 243: The Power of Night

Suddenly, Ye walked towards the pavilion, sat down, and calmly said, "Let me guess why you're so eager to fight me."

"Because you want the spot in the competition."

"But not just for the competition, it's because of your heritage."

"Am I right?"

Xu Zhiye looked at the relaxed Ye An and felt somewhat diminished in presence. He raised his head indifferently, "So what?"

"The key point is this." Ye An lifted his index finger casually. "Whether you're stronger than me or have more potential, it's irrelevant to the Swordshine Tournament."

"I said, three months from now, I can fight you."

"And whether you win against me now or later makes no difference."

Xu Zhiye furrowed his brows.

Why is Ye An's logic so impeccable?

It seems to make sense indeed.

If I want to prove whether my master was right about me, whether it's three months earlier or later doesn't matter.

I no longer care about the source of qi.

The success or failure of the Swordshine Tournament, according to my sister's logic, also doesn't matter. If we lose to all the races and realms once, we can win them back later.

So why do I still want to fight him now?

All drowsiness disappeared at that moment.

Xu Zhiye involuntarily looked up at the sun in the sky, his eyes showing contemplation.

The sunlight was glaring, but only for ordinary people.

He looked at the sun, his mind racing.

Do I want to fight him?

Yes, very much so. Right now, I want to compete with Ye An on equal terms, and I'm confident I can win.

But the reason I have this thought is not because of the Swordshine Tournament, nor because of the source of qi.

Is it because of my master?

After almost a minute of silence, Xu Zhiye suddenly looked up and smiled, "There's no other reason."

"I, Xu Zhiye, now want to challenge you, Ye An."

"Are you willing to accept?"

With his hands behind his back, his presence involuntarily began to rise, his eyes devoid of confusion, only sharpness and directness.

Ye An stared straight at him, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "Let's keep it limited. I can accept the challenge."

"Oh!" Xu Zhiye chuckled lightly. "I understand now that you've said that."

"Yesterday when I said you could kill me, I thought about it all night."

"What did that mean?"

"I see. Perhaps you have a move with tremendous side effects."

"So you don't want to fight me."

"But you believe that using that move will definitely defeat me, right?"

Ye An nodded, frowning, "You haven't looked into my previous records?"

"Like the recordings of the high school super league."

Xu Zhiye frowned, "What's that?"

"Remember, at that time I was practicing in a secret realm, but leagues of that level, what's so interesting about them?"

At these words, Ye An's face stiffened.

Well, Xu Zhiye didn't even know that he could merge three realms.

It doesn't matter.

"Anyway..."

Before the words were finished.

Xu Zhiye suddenly said lightly, "Let's keep it limited."

"But it seems like this place isn't big enough."

He turned his head to survey the surroundings.

At the foot of the Vermilion Bird Steps, there were only a few hundred meters in radius, mostly used for mooring ships, strictly speaking, this was a cliff.

Under the cliff was an endless sea of fire.

Ye An and Xu Zhiye didn't dare to fight in the sea of fire below the cliff.

Fear is that even before they started fighting, they would be burned to death.

But suddenly.

The scenes around the two changed.

In an instant, both were in a purgatory of flames, yet not feeling any heat.

Ye An raised his eyebrows.

He had been here, in the domain of the Vermilion Bird!

Alright alright.

Vermilion Bird also loves to watch the fun.

Facing Xu Zhiye, brows raised, with a look of surprise on his face, he said, "It seems that the facts are different from what you said. Vermilion Bird also hopes to see the outcome between you and me."

Ye An chuckled lightly and said, "Now you won't say the place isn't big enough, right?"

"Come on."

Xu Zhiye sneered, raised his right hand, extended his index and middle fingers, and whispered, "Domain..."

"Wait a minute."

Xu Zhiye's face stiffened, "This is the domain of Vermilion Bird. How can my domain be opened?"

"Will it collide?"

No one responded.

Ye An shrugged and said, "You try opening it first."

Xu Zhiye was anxious and didn't think much about it, immediately opening his domain.

Then he looked pleased.

There were no issues; his domain didn't clash with Vermilion Bird's.

Where they stood seemed not to be within a domain but a real world.

Great!

Xu Zhiye had no more worries.

Next second.

Intense dark elements surged out of him.

His eyes suddenly turned pitch black, and his domain rapidly expanded, like an infinite black purgatory!

Oppression, corrosion, penetration, three attributes appeared simultaneously.

Ye An's brow furrowed slightly.

In the first second of entering the opponent's domain, he felt his strength being suppressed, similar to the weakness he felt when facing the Black Demon King.

Then, blue-purple ghostly fires appeared on his skin, quickly corroding his flesh.

Moreover, this corrosive force not only affected his epidermis but swiftly penetrated into his body.

This was just the beginning; Xu Zhiye hadn't even exerted his full power, and the chaotic power of darkness was already evident!

Next.

Xu Zhiye, floating in mid-air, formed seals with his hands. A huge black disc suddenly appeared above his head.

The outer edge of the disc had eight sharp tentacles.

Ye An also shouted explosively, igniting the fires of the Vermilion Bird on his body!

Eyes blazing like flames, golden-red wings spread out behind him.

All the characteristics of his domain were isolated by martial intent!

Xu Zhiye remained unchanged, pointing with his fingers, lips moving slightly, "This is the Chaotic Strangulation."

It should be the name of the black octagonal disc!

Sure enough.

A burst of black light emanated from the center of the disc.

In the blink of an eye, the black light became thick and pure, then vanished!

The disc and the black light disappeared together.

The next second, Ye An, who was on the ground, suddenly flapped his wings forcefully and took off.

Below him.

The black octagonal compass suddenly appeared, spinning and tearing everything it touched.

Ye An focused his gaze.

Only the black light continued to condense during the attack.

After the attack, the black light solidified and disappeared again!

Ye An quickly scanned around, punching forward and retreating.

Sure enough.

The chaotic strangle compass appeared exactly where he had just been.

Xu Zhiye's brow furrowed slightly.

Ye An could actually predict the landing points of his attacks.

No matter.

He formed seals again!

The compass suddenly split, with its central hub appearing above Xu Zhiye's head, and the eight tentacles split, inserting themselves into eight positions on the ground, flashing black light.

Ye An dove down, punching one of the tentacles.

It burst!

But the black light from the remaining seven tentacles continued to condense.

Now Ye An was sure: the process from dispersion to condensation of the black light was the casting time.

After the black light completely condensed, the spell would take effect.

At that moment.

The remaining seven tentacles condensed the black light.

Ye An's face changed slightly.

He felt an extremely terrifying suction force erupting in an instant.

He didn't hesitate, activating his extreme state and Dao Fruit, where martial intent could withstand anything!

But at the same time, Xu Zhiye's body was also surging with boundless elemental power.

All the power poured into the central hub above his head.

The central hub of the compass burst out with a powerful force linking the seven tentacles!

The suction force doubled in an instant!

Ye An retreated, but it was too late!

In an instant, his vision became blurry, as if countless images were overlapping.

But in just a second, everything became clear.

Xu Zhiye stood above the sky!

Not in the sky, but above the ceiling.

Ye An's face changed slightly.

This feeling was very strange, as if Xu Zhiye and he were separated by a space, with Xu Zhiye looking down on himself from an upper space.

His confident voice suddenly echoed in Ye An's ears.

"Welcome to the Chaotic Black Domain - Double Realm!"

Ye An's pupils suddenly contracted. "Double realm, overlapping domains?"
