The one-eyed dragon had no choice but to reveal his trump card: domain prime force.
In his view, only by using domain prime force could he defeat Ling Xiao.
As he spoke, a strange sphere appeared around his body.
The sphere was semi-transparent, with wisps of clear vapour constantly rising from it, forming a complete, unique space.
“That’s domain prime force? Domain prime force fused with the water element!”
Although this special space could not expand further and could not be used like a true Cave Heaven realm domain, in terms of energy grade, domain prime force far surpassed heavenly prime force.
Watching this space, people felt as though they were gazing at a raging ocean. The overwhelming might made their hearts pound with fear.
“This is bad. Ling Xiao is really done for this time. The one-eyed dragon is going all out. He’s even brought out his ultimate hidden technique!”
“Indeed, there’s always a higher mountain. For the one-eyed dragon to become the famous pirate leader second only to the captain of the Twin Flowers Pirate Crew, there’s truly a reason.”
Everyone knew Ling Xiao was extraordinarily gifted.
He was not only a martial genius, but also a monstrous talent in the apothecary world.
Yet any gift required time to mature and grow stronger.
Unfortunately today, faced with a fully enraged one-eyed dragon, Ling Xiao truly seemed unlikely to escape death.
“Yun Ya, do not interfere.”
Not wanting anyone to disrupt his fight, Ling Xiao gently waved his hand.
Then he looked at the one-eyed dragon and said, “Come then. Let me see just how powerful your so-called domain prime force is. I’ll stand right here and wait.”
His words made the onlookers shake their heads privately.
Ling Xiao was still too young after all. He did not understand how terrifying domain prime force was. Compared to it, heavenly prime force was utterly crushed.
Of course, that was what they thought in this moment.
In the next moment, their thoughts changed completely.
Ling Xiao drew the Phantom Shadow Sword.
The black blade radiated mysterious, unfathomable light.
In that instant, a terrifying sword intent that looked down upon heaven and earth swept outwards like a cataclysmic storm of destruction, scouring the entire street.
Even the overcast clouds above were directly pierced apart by this sword intent.
Sword intent of slaughter that crushed all life!
Sword intent of destruction that annihilated all matter!
The will of mountains and rivers that awed all creation!
Utterly domineering!
Unreasonably tyrannical, it burst forth.
And that was not all.
A spherical space also formed around Ling Xiao.
Unlike the one-eyed dragon’s, Ling Xiao’s space was composed entirely of longswords condensed from pure energy.
“Sword Domain!”
The crowd involuntarily cried out.
Sword Domain was the abbreviated name for the Sword Cave Heaven Domain.
Many martial artists had heard of it, but few had ever seen it.
Condensing a Sword Domain was simply too difficult. Although the Profound World had countless swordsmen, those who truly comprehended Sword Domain were exceedingly rare.
For most swordsmen, their Cave Heaven domain was merely an auxiliary tool.
For Ling Xiao, however, the Sword Domain was a genuine weapon!
Piercing murderous aura!
Sword qi that broke through every obstacle!
For a moment, Ling Xiao seemed to transform into a true sword immortal, a sword god!
The one-eyed dragon was a peak half-step Cave Heaven realm martial artist, so it was normal for him to form the prototype of a Cave Heaven domain: the Black Water Cave Heaven.
But Ling Xiao?
A mere peak ninth-level heavenly prime force martial artist: how could he possibly condense a Cave Heaven domain?
And the hardest one to comprehend at that, the Sword Domain!
Others naturally did not know, but Ling Xiao was well aware that his Sword Domain was not a true Sword Domain. It was merely simulated using the power of his Mountains and Rivers Martial Soul.
Although its aura was comparable, it was still far inferior to a genuine Sword Domain.
That said, compared to the one-eyed dragon’s half-baked Black Water Cave Heaven, it was in no way inferior.
“What a genuine monster. This is simply unbelievable.”
Almost everyone in the crowd was stunned by Ling Xiao’s Sword Domain.
This was completely beyond their expectations.
The one-eyed dragon was briefly dumbfounded, then snarled viciously, “Good brat. It seems I really underestimated you today. But with only peak ninth-level cultivation, you can’t possibly have condensed a true Sword Domain or possess domain prime force. What you have is only a simulated Sword Domain created with external aid.
Compared to my real Black Water Cave Heaven, it’s not worth mentioning!”
“Is that so? Then by all means try. Let’s see whether my fake Sword Domain is stronger, or your real Black Water Cave Heaven is stronger!”
Ling Xiao revealed a calm smile.
A martial artist’s cultivation could never be separated from external tools.
When used properly, they brought no harm and could greatly increase cultivation speed.
Otherwise, even a peerless genius could not raise his cultivation so quickly in a short time.
Ling Xiao never felt ashamed of relying on his Mountains and Rivers Martial Soul.
Everything he had came from it, so he had to use it to do better than anyone else!
“Enough talk. Come, let one battle decide the victor!”
The one-eyed dragon roared.
“No. This battle decides life and death.”
Ling Xiao shook his head lightly. The power contained within his Sword Domain continued to rise.
Sharp sword intent carried an unstoppable momentum, ready to destroy every obstacle in its path.
He slowly walked forward. All the power of the Sword Domain gathered onto the Phantom Shadow Sword in his hand.
With every step, the ground split open and the air let out shrill wails.
Brilliant sword rays issued clear, resonant whistles, filled with piercing slaughter and destructive sword intent.
In that instant, the one-eyed dragon instinctively took one step back.
He himself did not even notice that single step. Under the threat of that terrifying Sword Domain, many depressions appeared in his Black Water Cave Heaven, as though it could be pierced through at any moment.
“Wait!”
The one-eyed dragon shouted.
The might of Ling Xiao’s Sword Domain had completely exceeded his imagination. He was thoroughly frightened by this horrific Sword Domain. His body shook like a sieve.
His Black Water Cave Heaven trembled along with him.
“What? Afraid now?”
Ling Xiao continued walking forward without stopping, but his pace was very slow. That slowness instead gave the one-eyed dragon an overwhelming sense of pressure and terror.
“I, I don’t want the Gluttonous Martial Soul anymore. I don’t want it, all right?”
The one-eyed dragon was, after all, a peak half-step Cave Heaven realm martial artist. He could tell that Ling Xiao’s Sword Domain could absolutely kill him.
He was terrified. He lost all courage to fight Ling Xiao.
What was face worth?
He no longer wanted it. Right now he only wanted his life!
As long as he lived, he would still have a chance to settle the score with Ling Xiao later. Once he died, he would have nothing.
“What’s going on? The infamous brutal one-eyed dragon, a notorious pirate, is actually yielding to a seventeen-year-old youth?”
The surrounding onlookers were all dumbfounded.
