[Ding! Stellar Energy Stones detected, beginning fusion.]
Buzz!
Streams of light burst forth as the energy stones were absorbed and fused by the system.
"Twenty-five million Stellar Energy Stones." King's grin almost reached his ears.
However, this was normal. It was likely that all the energy stones mined in the entire Sky Domain were gathered here.
[Ding! Mission complete. Collected ten million Stellar Energy Stones and fused Stellar Power. Reward: Monsterization advancement—Stellar Mode.]
[Acquired skills: Stellar Power, Piercing Star, Starfall]
"So this is Stellar Power."
King felt as if his body had transformed into a vast starry sky, with endless power constantly erupting from within.
Psychic Storm!
Whoosh!
A storm infused with Stellar Power rose from the ground, and the entire space instantly began to shatter into pieces.
"This power..."
King appeared in the forest. He had only been testing the Stellar Power just now, he hadn't expected a casual strike to cause the independent space set up by the Lord of Sky Domain to collapse and annihilate.
"However, I've only just mastered this power, so I should use it sparingly." King scratched his head.
He couldn't yet draw power from the galaxy like a Domain Lord, the Stellar Power he currently possessed was all absorbed and converted by the system. Just like Union Power, if it was used up, he could only wait for it to recover slowly on its own.
"Next, it's their turn."
A sharp light flashed in King's eyes, and his figure vanished.
—
In the central part of the Sky Domain, the battle between the Brave Association and the Church continued, with powerful experts from both sides coming out in force.
Originally, this was the Church's home turf, and they held an absolute advantage. However, because King had slain many God's agents and Divine Emissaries, the combat power of both sides had gradually balanced out.
Furthermore, the Brave Association had also revealed their trump card for this crusade: three extra-dimensional experts had arrived to confront the Divine Emissaries.
Although these three were not like the God-Slayer who could face a god directly, they were more than enough to handle Divine Emissaries.
The most worrying person, the Lord of Sky Domain, had yet to show his face. Now, the Church had already ordered the Sky Tribe army to join the battle, and the conflict between the two sides had reached a fever pitch.
"It's quite lively here."
King appeared not far from the battlefield, watching the three Dimensional experts lead the Brave Association in a frantic battle against the Church. Both sides were clearly fighting with sheer fury.
Thump, thump, thump!
Just as the three Dimensional experts and the Divine Emissaries were locked in a stalemate, a deafening roar resounded through the field.
"What is that sound?"
The Dimensional experts and Divine Emissaries all stopped fighting, looking at King with great caution. The five Divine Emissaries, in particular, felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
King Engine!
Thud!
A Church member collapsed silently, followed by another and another, as the Church's army continued to dwindle.
"Who on earth is he?!"
A Divine Emissary felt as if he had entered an ice cellar. A terrifying aura firmly locked onto him, making him unable to move a muscle.
"Good opportunity, move!"
The three Dimensional experts were battle-hardened and naturally would not miss this golden opportunity. They struck with all their might, easily slaying the five Divine Emissaries.
The survivors in the Church's army had long since been scared out of their wits and immediately fled in all directions. However, the Brave Association did not pursue them to the end. It seemed they also knew this was not a place to linger, and those who escaped were mostly insignificant small fry.
"May I ask who you are?" One of the Dimensional experts approached King and asked cautiously.
"Hurry up and retreat, he's coming." King looked up toward the sky.
The Dimensional expert's expression changed, and he immediately turned to lead the Brave Association members in a retreat.
This crusade had already been a great success. But what came next was not something they could handle. After all, the Lord of Sky Domain could arrive at any moment.
"Ki... King!" A familiar voice suddenly rang out.
King turned and found it was Teroma from the Brave Association. He nodded to him, signaling him to leave quickly.
"Despicable ants, stay here, all of you!"
Rumble!
A terrifying aura swept over them.
Fear appeared in the eyes of the three Dimensional experts, the Lord of Sky Domain had arrived.
Aura Suppression!
Boom!
A terrifying aura instantly erupted from King's body, immediately contending with the Lord of Sky Domain.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The three Dimensional experts gave King a grateful look and led the Brave Association members away.
"Damned creature! It's you!"
The Lord of Sky Domain's furious voice came through.
As soon as he returned to the Sky Domain, he discovered that the space he had established had been annihilated. The energy stones collected were meant to be offered to God. If he couldn't pay the tribute on time, his fate could well be imagined.
Starry Blade!
Boom!
A hundred-meter-long blade emerged from the void, carrying an overwhelming power as it slashed down. This strike seemed as if it would cleave the entire planet in half. Clearly, the Lord of Sky Domain had been blinded by rage. He was willing to slay King even if it meant destroying the planet.
"Tsk tsk. Young man, you've got quite a temper."
Stellar Mode! Activate!
Stellar Power!
Buzz!
A majestic power erupted from King's body. In an instant, his entire being seemed to transform into the vast stars, and he easily caught the hundred-meter blade with one hand.
Crack, crack, crack!
Cracks continuously appeared on the blade until it finally shattered completely.
"This... This is Stellar Power?! How could you possibly possess such power!" The Lord of Sky Domain's pupils constricted.
King's strength far exceeded his expectations, it was likely not inferior to his own.
"You talk too much."
King didn't actually care if the aftershocks of the battle destroyed the planet. However, since the Brave Association hadn't fully retreated yet, he still wanted to move the battlefield to an extra-dimensional space.
Buzz!
A massive portal appeared. Just as King was about to use force to drag the opponent inside, something unexpected happened. The Lord of Sky Domain simply gave him a calm look and took the initiative to step into the portal.
'What's the situation now? Even a Domain Lord is taking the initiative to submit? It must be me, I'm just too charismatic.' King touched his face, thinking quite narcissistically.
What he didn't know was that when the Lord of Sky Domain saw him use Stellar Power, a massive wave of shock had surged in his heart. However, another thought then formed in his mind. Moreover, fighting in an extra-dimensional space would also prevent damage to the Sky Domain.
When two Domain Lords fought with all their might within a domain, the mere aftershocks of the battle could destroy countless planets. This was why battles between Domain Lords took place in extra-dimensional spaces.
In the extra-dimensional space, King and the Lord of Sky Domain stood facing each other, as deafening roars echoed all around.
"I am the Lord of Sky Domain, Saroye. Are you willing to submit?"
