Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 149: The Domain that Belongs to Lin Ye! [7000-word Super Chapter, Seeking Subscriptions]

Ancient Civilization Ruins.

Inside a semi-circular, magnificent hall, two figures stood before a water screen.

The elder in front wore red robes, his face fair and gentle, his eyes as calm and profound as ancient, deep wells, reflecting the vicissitudes of time.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his bearing elegant and composed, like an immortal descended to the mortal world.

Implicitly, there was an indescribable sense of oppression emanating from him, inspiring awe.

However, the aura exuded by the Dust Burner at this moment was completely different from what Lin Ye had just seen.

At this moment, the old and the young were quietly watching every scene displayed on the screen.

The images showed Lin Ye fiercely battling the puppet war general.

"Chan'er, if Lin Ye can successfully pass these two trials and obtain my inheritance, you and Huo Rong will accompany him from now on."

After saying that, Venerable Dust Burner turned his head slightly.

Beside him, a girl stood quietly, as if she had stepped out of a celestial realm.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, yet equally serene, her white dress even more pristine than ice and snow.

Although she was not old, anyone who met her gaze would inexplicably feel an ancient and archaic aura emanating from her.

Behind the two, a tall figure condensed again.

This was a humanoid alien with a sturdy build, covered in red hair, his honest face full of smiles.

"Master, Chan'er," the red-haired alien respectfully greeted Venerable Dust Burner and the girl.

"Long time no see, Huo Rong," the girl said with a smile.

"Long time no see, Chan'er," the red-haired alien smiled, then retreated behind the two.

At this time, Chan'er looked at Venerable Dust Burner and weakly asked, "Master, are you going to continue to fall into slumber?"

"Yes, on the way back from exploring a secret realm, I unfortunately encountered Venerable Tianhua of the Sky Wolf Clan, who intercepted and robbed me..."

"If it weren't for the assistance of the Lord of Darkness, I'm afraid my divine body would have been completely obliterated by Tianhua."

Venerable Dust Burner sighed secretly and said in a low voice, "Even the only three top-tier treasures and seven heavy treasures I had are all taken away by that dog Tianhua..."

"Even though I was rescued, my treasures were stolen, and the damage to my divine body has exceeded 95%. I can only slowly recover through endless slumber."

"With the passage of time, I'm afraid this young man will have turned to ashes by the time I wake up again."

Staring blankly at her master's slightly lonely figure, the girl called 'Chan'er' suddenly felt her eyes redden, and she said softly, "Master, why don't you ask the Lord of Chaos City for help?"

"With the Lord of Chaos City's great power, he will surely be able to quickly restore your divine body!"

"Hehehe... No need. The price of asking the Lord of Chaos City to restore my divine body is a bit too high, not just the price of one or two heavy treasures."

"Moreover, with my current assets, if I don't want to become a 'cosmic debtor' like Lord Qianwu, I should just honestly slumber and recover!"

Speaking of 'Lord Qianwu', a gleam of light flashed in the girl's beautiful eyes as she said, "Master, aren't you going to see your old friend, Lord Qianwu?"

"No, no."

Hearing the girl's words, a bitter smile appeared on Venerable Dust Burner's face, and he sighed:

"I used to laugh at Qianwu, this cosmic debtor, many times... Now, I've ended up with a damaged divine body and stolen treasures. Who knows, this old friend might mock me in return!"

"..." Hearing this, Chan'er's small face also darkened, obviously a little sad.

After all, Venerable Dust Burner had been incredibly kind to her, like a father and a teacher.

Seeing her expression, the former comforted her gently, "Silly Chan'er, I'm just going to slumber for billions of eras. Of course, there will be a time to meet again in the future. What's there to be sad about?"

"Oh~" the girl in white replied softly.

"Master, is the difficulty of the first trial you set a bit too high?"

"Just that puppet war king with its outstanding combat power can reach the fourth level of the Planetary realm when it erupts!"

"Such combat power is far from what a young man who has just entered the Planetary realm can contend with..."

Looking at the confrontation between Lin Ye and the puppet war king, the girl couldn't help but worry.

"This Lin Ye is already the hundredth trial taker. In endless years, you have left twelve trial grounds in several major cosmic countries, and not a single inheritor has appeared!"

Chan'er blinked her beautiful eyes, with a flash of inspiration.

"Don't worry, those who are destined, powerful, and talented will naturally become my inheritors."

Regarding his inheritance, Venerable Dust Burner didn't have any worries. Instead, he smiled and said, "Anyway, I've been here for so many eras. If I don't have a disciple, then I don't need one."

"Also, Chan'er, remember one thing. Just like the other trial takers, if he is really on the verge of death, let him end the trial and send him out!"

"Before, the harsh words I said to him, that he would surely die if he didn't pass the trial, were just to deceive this silly boy."

"In the end, he actually took it seriously."

"Since we forcibly moved Lin Ye here first, and then lured him with the spirit of vegetation and Muyajian crystals, how could we let him be easily buried in this trial ground?"

Looking at the young man on the screen who was ready for battle, a smile appeared on Venerable Dust Burner's face, sweeping away his previous dejection.

"Master, you're still like this, harsh words but a kind heart. I will keep a close eye on him."

A warm smile appeared on Chan'er's face.

Venerable Dust Burner gently touched her small head, just like when he created her.

After a long time, Venerable Dust Burner withdrew his hand.

His gentle eyes stared at Lin Ye, who was in a fierce battle on the screen, and carefully examined him, saying, "This young man may not be without a chance of victory against the puppet war king?"

"Hmm?" Chan'er frowned slightly, then asked in confusion, "Master, do you mean... domain?"

"Yes! As long as he can comprehend his own domain, supplemented by spiritual power... the chances of winning are very high."

"But to have his own domain at the first level of the Planetary realm is like searching for a needle in a haystack, too rare..."

Venerable Dust Burner shook his head with a smile and said, "I just scared him a little, but this kid actually took it seriously, thinking that he had to kill all the opponents to pass this level. What a silly boy."

"Only silly people have silly luck... Otherwise, who would fight that little Flame Dragon on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for so long, and finally kill it?" The girl looked at Venerable Dust Burner's smile, her red lips slightly moving.

"Alright, Chan'er, the trials behind Lin Ye will be left to you. I can't hold on any longer."

"Master, can you stay a little longer!?"

"Oh, you foolish child." Seeing Chan'er's expression, Venerable Dust Burner also sighed softly.

He and Chan'er had experienced so many years together, and had traveled almost half of the universe. The relationship between the two was naturally extremely deep.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have placed her on Earth to watch over the trial ground for her safety.

After comforting Chan'er, the two stood side by side, watching the trial on the screen together.

...

Inside the trial arena.

Lin Ye's roars, the sound of the battle blade cutting through the air, the sound of violent collisions, and the puppet's roars intertwined into a tragic symphony in this isolated trial ground.

Facing this puppet war king who was almost flawless, Lin Ye launched a fierce attack.

From the moment he made his move, he used the ninth slash of Breath Severance to increase his power several times.

Thereby increasing his speed and strength to their peak state.

Coupled with a sharp blade technique honed from slaughter, supplemented by an artistic conception-level movement technique, although he fell into a disadvantage, he was temporarily not in mortal danger.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding...

Brilliant sparks bloomed in the air.

Extremely dazzling.

Accompanied by bursts of ear-piercing and intense collision sounds, streams of light shot out in all directions on the puppet war king, affecting its movements.

At this time, Lin Ye completely abandoned any distracting thoughts.

His mind was condensed, round, and unified.

The strength of every part of his body was extremely clear, like a clear mirror.

As his thoughts fell, and together with his genetic force, it burst out from the battle blade.

Whoosh!!

As the golden giant sword waved through the air, Lin Ye's body trembled violently.

Inside his body, a stream of blood-colored light seemed to appear on the mirror surface.

Tendons, bones, flesh, and countless cells suddenly erupted with waves of power, all integrated into the battle blade, directly facing the giant sword.

"Ninth Slash of Breath Severance!"

"Slash!"

"Slash again!"

In an instant, nine consecutive bursts of the body, nine forces merged into one.

The blood-colored blade light, accompanied by soaring power, slashed towards the puppet war king's head before it could swing its sword.

Bang!

In the muffled explosion, the huge puppet was split and flew out.

The terrifying blade light, wrapped in immense force, slammed into the puppet war king's heavy armor.

However, it only caused a few sparks and broke the defense, and did not even cause any damage to the flesh of this super-large puppet.

Insignificant!

"What a pity."

Looking at the damage caused by his almost full-strength strike, Lin Ye's eyes were a little dim.

But the backlash from this slash made Lin Ye equally uncomfortable.

The majestic backlash force passed along the narrow blade and slammed into Lin Ye's arm.

In an instant, the entire arm became numb, and he could hardly feel its existence.

But he still tightly grasped the battle blade, and forcibly twisted his body that was flying upside down in mid-air in a strange posture, and pounced on it again.

Then, a shadow enveloped him, causing Lin Ye to feel a chill in his heart.

It turned out that the puppet war king, in its extreme rage, directly clenched its fist and smashed it towards him.

Feeling the monstrous force in this iron fist, Lin Ye finally chose to temporarily avoid its edge.

Boom!

His figure changed, stepping on this lightning-fast fist, using this force to increase his speed again.

Boom!!

With a loud bang, the ground of the square cracked.

With Lin Ye's all-out bombardment, the puppet war king in front of him was blasted away.

"Zi la la!!"

The tip of the giant sword in his hand slid on the ground, and the heavy sword body plowed a deep dent in the bluestone floor.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ye's heart sank again.

The puppet war king had no emotions, let alone words.

Only the strong killing intent erupted from those ferocious eyes, wanting to shatter Lin Ye, the trial taker.

However, at this time, as Lin Ye's thoughts moved.

The flying blades surrounding him danced in the sky with strange and unpredictable traces.

Then, they constantly attacked the puppet war king's huge mountain-like body from various tricky angles, looking for its weaknesses.

However, the successive tentative attacks were all blocked by it one by one, and the golden giant sword waved with a hunting sound.

The sky was covered with sword shadows, and in the blink of an eye, all the flying blades were swept away.

In an instant, a strange dim light lit up in its red pupils, its figure speeded up, and the giant sword in its hand swung out, smashing towards Lin Ye.

So fast!

Lin Ye's pupils shrank violently like needles, but the blade light in his hand did not stagnate.

The body and genetic force that had just recovered a little were frantically urged by him, just to deal with the most powerful BOSS in this first trial.

Boom!

It was another head-on blow.

Lin Ye's figure flew upside down like a tree being pulled out of the ground, and a sweet taste surged in his throat.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

In mid-air, Lin Ye took several heavy breaths.

The continuous battles had caused him to consume a lot of physical strength and genetic force.

Even the small amount of cultivation just now only restored a small part of his physical strength, which was a drop in the bucket.

Facing such a powerful opponent, even Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a trace of shadow in his heart.

Too fierce!

This super-large puppet was simply a killing machine born for battle.

Without emotions or pain, and not knowing what fatigue was, it only saw with its eyes.

Only the enemy and the fight to the end!

"Even if the opponent is strong, I will move forward!"

"Kill!"

Relying on the eruption of "Ten Slashes of Breath Severance", Lin Ye forcibly squeezed the power of every cell in his body, and swung it out through the battle blade again and again!

The artistic conception-level body technique, coupled with "Broken Shadow", allowed him to have a speed to rely on when facing this enemy.

"Chih!"

The giant sword was not sharp, but when it was swung, it made a hunting sound, bringing a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.

When the puppet war king swung the heavy sword, Lin Ye's eyes flashed, and then a broken shadow quickly retreated, not to face this sword head-on.

The power of the slash that had just erupted had emptied 95% of Lin Ye's physical strength.

Even if he relied on genetic force to stimulate cells to provide power, he could only passively avoid it in his current state.

And every slash he swung was trying his best to suppress the power of the cells in his body.

At this moment, the most appropriate word to describe Lin Ye was——

The end of his rope!

If he didn't have strong spiritual power, he would probably have turned into a dead soul under the puppet war king's sword.

Not far away, the huge blood-colored eyes of the puppet war king flickered with strange light.

The huge body like a nightmare flickered, which could bring a suffocating pressure like the sky falling to any warrior who had just entered the Planetary realm.

Seemingly grasping the trial taker's weak state, it leaned forward and swung the giant sword one after another.

The tip of the ghost-headed sword swept towards Lin Ye again and again, but all of them were avoided by Lin Ye with broken shadows... Now, with his physical strength greatly depleted.

All he could do was dodge.

The huge consumption of physical strength, and bursts of weakness and dizziness impacted his consciousness.

His body, weakened and sluggish, had lost the opportunity to attack and could only passively endure the beating.

His heavy body made his warblade feel heavy as well.

"No, I'll definitely die here if this continues!" A great sense of crisis rose in Lin Ye's heart.

He bit down hard on the tip of his tongue, his body jolting abruptly… but it felt as if ten thousand tons were pressing down on his shoulders.

With all his strength, he could only slowly stand up.

At this moment, the drawbacks of unleashing 《Ten Severing Slashes》 were fully revealed—his arms were almost numb, excruciating pain racked his entire body, and his right hand felt as heavy as lead… all of which showed Lin Ye's extremely poor condition.

But, it never rains but it pours!

The Puppet Battle King's attacks became even more fierce and brutal.

Each sweep of the giant sword posed a huge threat of death.

If he failed to evade, death would be the only thing awaiting Lin Ye!

If… I could control this greatsword with my mental power and unleash the same power as the Ten Severing Slashes, that would be great.

Lin Ye switched the warblade to his left hand, forcibly wielding the left-handed sword he was not familiar with.

He did this only to parry the puppet's attacks and avoid further injuries to his body.

However, in that instant of switching swords.

The tip of the ghost-head sword grazed past Lin Ye's body, leaving a deep bloody mark.

Just from being grazed by the edge of this golden giant sword, a gash was torn open in the scarlet battle armor on his body, and fresh blood flowed rapidly from this gash, making the color of the battle armor even deeper…

As the battle progressed, Lin Ye's condition deteriorated.

Even his mental power became sluggish as he weakened, no longer possessing the fierce offensive he had before.

In contrast, the Puppet Battle King had no other injuries except for a few deep, bone-revealing wounds on its heavy armor.

Its condition was far better than Lin Ye's.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The Puppet Battle King's attacks suddenly became dense, showering Lin Ye like mercury pouring onto the ground.

At this moment, the latter felt a towering wave rolling towards him.

Lin Ye also hurriedly manipulated his flying daggers to block, but they were soon submerged by the attacks, which continued to come.

Faced with the lightning-fast Puppet Battle King, Lin Ye knew he couldn't dodge and could only struggle to raise his sword to block.

Bang!!

Amidst a deafening roar that shook the square.

Lin Ye was struck hard on his warblade by the giant sword, and his entire body flew backward heavily, his vision suddenly blackening.

At this moment, he had become a complete blood-soaked figure from top to bottom, with many wounds and bloody holes all over his body.

Even Lin Ye did not expect that after suffering so many injuries, losing so much blood, and with only a trace of physical strength left in his body, his consciousness had not yet become muddled, and he was still alive…

咻！咻！咻！

Looking at the flying daggers that were still constantly blocking the Puppet Battle King, a helpless, bitter smile appeared on Lin Ye's face.

Perhaps it was his powerful mental power that had supported him in fighting to the present.

At this moment, Lin Ye no longer had the strength to pay attention to the movements in his sea of consciousness.

The scarlet giant tower that had existed ever since he activated his mental power was releasing a rich, blood-like red light.

The entire sea of consciousness, along with the miniature light sphere representing his planetary-level first-order mental power, was illuminated in a blood-red hue.

The movements in the sea of consciousness seemed to affect the miniature planet in his dantian.

Strands of blood-colored essence from an unknown source were continuously merging into this miniature planet, causing it to operate faster.

In the next moment, the miniature planet almost plundered the surrounding cosmic energy.

It then transformed into strands of pure genetic energy, constantly repairing and tempering Lin Ye's body.

Almost simultaneously, his entire body's cells, illuminated by these red lights, instantly transformed from a dying state to a state of vitality, frantically absorbing the mental power and genetic energy that swept through his body.

The surge of abundant power slightly dispelled the gloom in Lin Ye's heart, allowing him to recover quickly.

His eyes were bright as he looked at the Puppet Battle King, who was still approaching him despite the constant attacks of the flying daggers, his gaze becoming more determined.

If I want to become a strong person, I must seize these great opportunities.

Lin Ye would not give up easily.

He understood that he might never encounter a trial opportunity like that of Venerable Fenchen in his entire life.

Seemingly noticing Lin Ye's abnormal condition, the Puppet Battle King suddenly raised the giant sword in its hand high, and a series of obscure and unpleasant roars came from its mouth.

As this sound rang out, countless scarlet lights flickered around Lin Ye.

In the red light, hundreds and thousands of Puppet Battle Generals, holding various weapons, appeared in different locations.

The moment they appeared, they attacked Lin Ye.

Lin Ye never expected that the most powerful BOSS in this trial could summon minions.

He felt a bit manic in his heart, but then calmed down.

Looking at the ubiquitous Puppet Battle Generals, a spark of inspiration rose in Lin Ye's heart.

"Yes, these Puppet Battle Generals' attacks are ubiquitous… and I only have a warblade and fourteen flying daggers and 《Ten Severing Slashes》, how can I resist this surging attack?"

Lin Ye muttered to himself, and many insights about swordsmanship quickly emerged in his mind.

Especially the large amount of insights accumulated in Lijiang, Anning Fortress, and the recent battle, began to quickly merge at this moment.

Like removing the dross and keeping the essence, the inspiration flashing in Lin Ye's mind seemed to turn into a line, stringing together these insights to form a systematic and complete entity.

"Even if my swordsmanship is strong, it cannot defend against opponents like mental power, and there will eventually be a limit."

"Human power will eventually be exhausted, so the only way is to turn swordsmanship into my own domain!!"

"In the place where my domain is located, all enemies will be hindered."

After experiencing a life-and-death battle, his consciousness and thoughts became clearer.

Almost as if accumulating a lot and then releasing it all at once, Lin Ye gradually improved according to his accumulated experience and insights.

Just like drawing on a blank sheet of paper, he gradually drew out his own domain.

"Use my genetic energy and mental power as swords!" Lin Ye whispered.

"Rumble!!"

Strands of red genetic energy surged out from the miniature planet in his dantian, actually appearing with the sound of water out of thin air.

This genetic energy was as red as the sunset, extremely dazzling.

As soon as it appeared, it surrounded Lin Ye's body.

Also swarming out was the mental power from the light sphere in his sea of consciousness.

Among them, there was also some energy faintly mixed from the blood-colored giant tower.

Whether it was genetic energy or mental power, their essence belonged to energy.

For the way of the sword, grass, trees, bamboo, stones, and even a flower or a drop of water… everything can be a sword.

He had used genetic energy as a sword when fighting the Flame Dragon King, and now he was doing the same.

"Genetic energy, mental power, Ten Severing Slashes, transform into my domain!"

Lin Ye's highest achievement in swordsmanship was 《Ten Severing Slashes》, and now he was using all his insights and understanding of it to transform the moves into a domain of sword intent. Many insights surged into his heart, and the power immediately underwent a qualitative change.

"Boom!!"

Every strand of genetic energy transformed into a sword! The genetic energy internally contained flame energy, and the surface had naturally condensed sword force to form a sword shape!

Mental power also transformed into a sword, all forming a sword shape!

They began to revolve around Lin Ye, like a huge vortex, constantly rotating.

The genetic energy-transformed blades rotated clockwise, while the mental power-condensed swords rotated counterclockwise.

An indescribable huge tearing force was derived, sweeping out from Lin Ye as the center, forming a huge domain within a thousand meters around him.

For a time, there were surging undercurrents and frequent bursts, and the surging sword light attacked all invading Puppet Battle Generals!

At this moment, even in Lin Ye's eyes, this Puppet Battle King was not an opponent.

Just as Lin Ye felt joy in his heart, a series of electronic prompts sounded in his mind—

[Congratulations to the host for reaching the state of mind 'No Regrets Even in Death, Fearless Heart', the Flame Domain is activated, please name it!]

"Nirvana Domain!" Faced with the prompt in his mind, Lin Ye said without hesitation.

[Nirvana Domain, naming completed!]

[Current movement technique advanced to the Domain level]

[Comprehended Severing Slash Number Ten]

[Martial artist realm increased to Planetary Level Second Order]

[Mental Power Master increased to Planetary Level Second Order]

“……”

The electronic sound faded.

He immediately felt that his understanding of movement techniques and swordsmanship had also been elevated to a new level.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of majestic aura far exceeding the past swept over him, covering him, and then returning to normal.

Under the eruption of the Nirvana Domain.

All Puppet Battle Generals who tried to approach Lin Ye felt a huge force, layer upon layer, constantly tearing their bodies as soon as they entered the domain.

There were also terrifying sword lights, fierce to the extreme, that instantly cut them to pieces.

Within the Nirvana Domain, there were attacks everywhere, constantly changing.

Not to mention ordinary Puppet Battle Generals, even if the Puppet Battle King entered it, most of its strength would be used to resist the killing intent and sword intent in the domain!

After successive breakthroughs and enhancements, Lin Ye felt that his condition had reached its peak.

As a Planetary Level Second Order, he felt much stronger than before.

Lin Ye looked at the cold scarlet warblade in his hand, his eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:

"Fight!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he wrapped his Nirvana Domain and, in his strongest state after the breakthrough, took the initiative to kill the Puppet Battle King.
