Volume 6 Chapter 38

Volume 6 + Chapter 38: The Shattering of The Domain

“Dragon King Domain…”

Facing the dragon created by Dorothea, given Xia Yi’s current strength, there was only one way to fight back.

That was to unleash the Dragon King Domain.

“Dragon King Domain?”

Upon hearing Xia Yi’s words, Dorothea’s interest surged.

Not even all sovereigns of the higher races could necessarily manifest a domain.

This was the hallmark of a supreme powerhouse.

Among dragons, the prerequisite for unleashing a Dragon King Domain was the awakening of the Dragon King’s Heart.

Back then, Xia Lulu had also sought Dorothea’s help to forcibly awaken the Dragon King’s Heart, thereby gaining the power to defeat Frey.

If Xia Yi could unleash a Dragon King Domain, did that mean…

She had already awakened the Dragon King’s Heart?

“Descend!”

Xia Yi’s mind became clear, she stopped thinking about extraneous matters.

The silver dragon king’s blood boiled, causing a noticeable change in her heartbeat.

Wind and snow howled in, and the domain began to spread outward with her as its center.

“Incredible. Little Xia Yi really can use a domain? Is her Dragon King’s Heart gradually awakening?”

Dorothea found this utterly novel.

In the history of dragon kings, no one had ever naturally awakened the Dragon King’s Heart at the fifth rank.

Even though she could see that Xia Yi’s awakening was incomplete and her domain highly unstable, this was still unprecedented.

She grew more and more fond of little Xia Yi.

“The domain has successfully expanded!”

Xia Yi was overjoyed.

She remembered that last time, when fighting against Xia Lulu, she had failed to unleash the Dragon King Domain.

This time, risking everything, she had actually succeeded!

“Little Xia Yi, although I am astonished that you can unleash a Dragon King Domain, didn’t anyone teach you not to just stand there like a fool while releasing it? I’m not just going to watch you without doing anything.”

“What?”

“Tiamat, space quake, seal this place!” Dorothea commanded sharply.

The Eternal Undying Dragon let out an earth-shaking roar. The shockwave of the sound destabilized the entire space, causing cracks to appear in it.

Xia Yi felt the world turn upside down, she could barely stand.

The expansion of the Dragon King Domain, upon touching the spatial cracks, came to a halt.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

From Tiamat’s colossal body, skeletal pillars as large as heaven’s support beams fell, crashing onto the earth and landing precisely on the spatial cracks, making them even larger.

Nearly a dozen skeletal pillars completely sealed off this space, preventing the Dragon King Domain from crossing the spatial cracks. Ultimately, it was confined to a very small area.

This did not affect Dorothea and Tiamat, who stood outside the Dragon King Domain.

“A Dragon King Domain can’t break through spatial cracks? How can this be?”

Xia Yi’s face showed disbelief. She had never imagined such a thing could happen.

“Domains are indeed very troublesome. Once a user successfully manifests their domain, the battle becomes one-sided. However…”

Dorothea pulled on her threads and moved to Tiamat’s shoulder, looking down at Xia Yi within her tiny Dragon King Domain.

“All one needs to do is seal the space before the domain takes shape.”

“This…”

Xia Yi was speechless. Her final trump card had been neutralized by Dorothea.

The gap was simply too vast.

Both in terms of rank and combat experience.

“Tiamat, crush little Xia Yi’s Dragon King Domain.”

Dorothea injected Dragon King–level magical power into Tiamat’s body.

The colossal dragon glowed with golden light and struck downward at the Dragon King Domain below.

“Dragon King Domain!”

Even though her domain was small, Xia Yi gritted her teeth and manipulated the ice and snow within it, converging them into a massive ice shield.

Tiamat’s dragon claw slammed into the ice shield. Terrifying magical power exploded in an instant, unleashing destructive force that shook the space once more.

Whoosh!

The ice shield shattered. The dragon claw, carrying destructive impact, fell upon the Dragon King Domain.

The small domain naturally lacked sufficient strength to withstand such an attack.

The wind and snow were all blown away by the impact. Tiamat smashed through the domain.

Xia Yi was sent flying by the shockwave, briefly losing consciousness. The holy sword slipped from her hand and fell away.

“Reality isn’t a manga book. You can’t change anything just by shouting some slogans about love.”

Dorothea’s expression was merciless.

“Welcome to the world that only supreme powerhouses can touch, little Xia Yi.”

“Ugh…”

Xia Yi’s vision was blurry.

She looked up. She could no longer clearly see Dorothea atop Tiamat.

The immense gap in power made her feel despair.

Yet, even feeling despair, with her Sword Saint’s heart, she could not give up.

Knowing she was outmatched, she still rose to her feet.

Having her Dragon King Domain destroyed in a single blow had dealt a considerable blow to her spirit. She could not recover quickly and was barely holding on.

“Xia Yi.”

“…?”

In her daze, Xia Yi heard a familiar voice.

“Xia Yi. Let me handle this.”

“Inner demon?”

“Let me teach this woman a lesson.” Inner Demon Xia Yi spoke to her.

“…Okay.”

Xia Yi handed control of her body over to her inner demon. Her body swayed and began to fall, then rose again.

Inner Demon Xia Yi took command.

First, she canceled the summoning of the holy sword, then let the holy sword mark light up again and called out.

“Holy Sword Gram!”

The holy sword, which had fallen somewhere unknown, returned to Inner Demon Xia Yi’s hand.

“You still have the will to fight? That last blow should have put you down,” Dorothea said, finding it hard to believe.

“So it was you.”

Inner Demon Xia Yi looked up, her gaze fixed on Dorothea in the distance, a bone-chilling killing intent flowing from her.

“Little Xia Yi seems a bit strange?” Dorothea murmured.

Next, Inner Demon Xia Yi made a peculiar move.

She placed the holy sword against her own arm and quickly drew it across, cutting her skin. Dragon blood sprayed out, following the arc of her sword and splattering into the sky.

One drop landed on Dorothea’s cheek.

“Is this a provocation?”

Dorothea touched the blood on her cheek.

She wanted to react with the silver-haired girl below, but found that Inner Demon Xia Yi had vanished.

She quickly searched for traces of Inner Demon Xia Yi, but her naked eye could not keep up.

Then, she sensed an anomaly on her threads.

Someone was stepping on the threads that filled the space.

Dorothea suddenly understood. The act of cutting her arm and splashing blood into the sky earlier was not a provocation, it was to use the blood to locate the threads and memorize their positions.

Then, using her body’s movement honed to perfection, she stepped on the threads and moved upward at high speed, reaching a height of a hundred meters.

Inner Demon Xia Yi appeared before Dorothea and swung the holy sword.

The sharp blade pierced through the golden dragon girl’s body.

“Anyone who bullies Xia Yi… dies.”
