I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"It's alright, nothing's wrong. How about you, sister?" Ye Qianxue's voice was full of worry, as if she couldn't wait to join the battle and contribute her strength.

Yan Ziming breathed a slight sigh of relief. She had thought this operation was a ploy to lure her and Qilin away from their prey, but it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Nothing serious, just ran into a charlatan. Never mind, I'm going to teach him a lesson. You stay home and don't come over. Bye."

Yan Ziming put her phone in her pocket and looked at the man with suspicion, preparing for battle.

Her first life-or-death battle against a fellow ability user.

The man's aura was extremely unstable, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared with a bloodshot rage at the scales lying on the ground, hoarsely saying:

"You, you actually, you actually abandoned the divinely bestowed token... to answer a phone call from some whore?!"

A dangerous glint appeared in Yan Ziming's eyes, and a flash of lightning containing destructive power streaked past.

This is the second time that someone has insulted his sister since he arrived in the Beian Military Administrative Region.

Last time, he couldn't kill Mu Yun because of laws and regulations. This time, he shouldn't have to worry about so much, right? As an intruder, he deserves to die a thousand times over.

Blue-purple lightning surged forth, swirling around Yan Ziming as if a thunder god had descended to earth. The scattered lightning turned the surrounding alloy walls red-hot, and they even showed signs of softening.

This is a facility that can withstand nuclear bombs!

Tang Ming was horrified. The blue-purple lightning was terrifying; each bolt possessed the power to incinerate mountains and boil seas. Even the strongest metal probably wouldn't withstand its bombardment for long.

"Let me make this clear first, she's not a bitch..."

Lightning coalesced into a single point in front of Yan Ziming, gradually turning red. Yan Ziming extended his finger and lightly tapped it, and a terrifying beam of light, powerful enough to blast away the entire laboratory, filled the corridor, leaving the man with no way to escape.

——Radiant in the Mortal World

"She is...my goddess!!!"

"You have insulted the great gods! Die!"

While Yan Ziming was gathering his strength, the man's boundless rage transformed into endless flames, which condensed in his right arm. With a flick of his finger, his entire arm turned crimson, and auspicious light surged forth, like phoenix wings soaring into the sky, piercing through the beam of light formed by the radiance of the mortal world.

Yan Ziming frowned, dodged to the side, and a beam of light as thin as a thread swept past, instantly piercing through the two-meter-thick alloy wall and disappearing into the vast night sky.

It seems that in pursuit of wider coverage, quality was compromised, leaving the enemy vulnerable to attack.

But if it doesn't hit, it's nothing. The man has already been swallowed up by the beam of light formed by the Radiant Red Dust. Yan Zimo doesn't think he has any means to survive this attack.

......

"Hmph~ You do have some skill after all..."

After the beam of destruction disappeared, Yan Ziming gave a soft hum of approval.

One of the man's hands disappeared. Judging from the crimson light at the wound, he must have used a force beyond his own limits to barely block Yan Ziming's attack.

The price he paid was that one of his arms was melted away by his own superpower.

Yan Ziming thought to herself, how could anyone of the same level possibly withstand her Radiant Mortal Realm attack unscathed?

This was a technique she had developed years ago based on the methods left by Liu Mengxian, combined with her own insights. It was far superior to the techniques created by those superpowered individuals who relied solely on their limited knowledge.

Different perspectives lead to different levels of understanding. Yan Ziming stood on the shoulders of giants, giving her a head start over most people, which is what is meant by winning at the starting line.

Moreover, Yan Ziming has recently undergone a transformation, and the power of his lightning has increased considerably. It would be strange if he could withstand it.

"Thunderclap, thunderclap—!"

The man's voice became hoarse, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. In the full-force clash between the two, he had lost, and lost completely.

In a direct confrontation of superpowers, he was no match for her!

He realized this.

In terms of destructive power, his flames were far inferior to Yan Zimo's lightning. He had only managed to create an opportunity to attack by relying on his experience and risking his life.

Unfortunately, it didn't hit.

Since our abilities are inferior in quality, let's rely on our own methods!

The man burst into flames, becoming a human torch, and dashed towards Yan Ziming, ready to engage her in close combat.

The walls all became sticky and softened, and the metal walls actually burst into flames, hotter than ordinary flames, covering the area he passed through.

This is his domain, the domain he is proud of.

"Want to fight in close combat? No way!"

Although Yan Ziming really wanted to use the Lightning Blade to torture him to death, he had no experience dealing with other ability users of the same level, so it was better to play it safe for now.

The man was clearly someone who had fought against many superhumans, unlike Yan Ziming, who mostly fought against mutated species and was still unable to break free from his usual fighting style. If he wasn't careful, his opponent would seize an opening and attack him to death.

The Thunder Domain erupted, and blue-purple lightning covered the Flame Domain. The raging fire, struck by the lightning, was extinguished as if doused with water, and was quickly compressed to a very small distance, barely remaining in front of the man.

In the battle between realms, Yan Zimo was the clear winner!

Among high-level ability users, the outcome is determined not only by the quality of their abilities, but also by the strength of their domains.

It's important to know that not only superpowers, but even realms are divided into ranks.

To reach a high-ranking realm, one must undergo rigorous training and have a clear understanding of their own abilities. But that's not enough; one must also forge their own path.

Mu Mu's and Yan Ziming's are the same. While meeting the first two conditions, they have also forged their own paths. The quality of their domains is absolutely top-notch, and few can compare to them.

In such a realm, their combat power can be completely doubled.

In Yan Ziming's eyes, this man's domain was extremely ordinary. Not to mention forging his own path, he barely passed the first two tests. The domain he condensed provided very limited enhancement to him, at most 20%, and was completely crushed by Yan Ziming's Thunder Domain.

The opportunity to condense a realm only comes once in a lifetime; once missed, it's gone forever. Therefore, before Ye Qianxue had found her own path, Yan Ziming strictly forbade her from making any rash breakthroughs.

"Hmph! You're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! Take this!"

With a wave of her slender hand, Yan Zimo's Thunder Domain flowed into Lei Qie's body in an instant, like a whale swallowing water, unleashing unparalleled and terrifying power.

With the suppression of the Thunder Domain gone, the man's Flame Domain rose again, but the pressure on him only increased.

The moment he saw Yan Zimo gather all the Thunder Realm together, his hope sank to the bottom and could never rise again.

Isn't this something only an eighth-tier expert can do?

Could it be that our intelligence is flawed? Or did she break through to the eighth rank in just two months?

Chapter Thirty-Four: Emergency

The power of condensing the domain into a single point and then unleashing it is extremely terrifying, comparable to a strike from a ninth-tier expert.

However, the conditions for achieving this are very demanding, namely, reaching the eighth rank.

Once a superhuman reaches the eighth rank, their control over their superhuman abilities in all aspects reaches its peak. The ninth rank allows them to achieve unparalleled mastery and release their abilities at will.

Therefore, judging from the control of the eighth rank, achieving the condensation of the realm is not difficult. Whether you can use it frequently depends on whether you can withstand the huge energy consumption.

Generally speaking, an eighth-level expert would have to give up after trying this three or four times and completely lose his fighting ability.

So here's the question—has Yan Zimo broken through to the eighth rank?

of course not.

She was able to do it because she used a trick, and the method was very simple and brutal: she used a cheat-level Raichi to provide a carrier, allowing Raichi to absorb the energy on its own.

This is equivalent to saving Yan Ziming from a super-charge and then launching the most powerful attack.

Blue-purple light burst forth from Raikiri's blade, tearing through space and forming a light blade hundreds of meters high. The alloy wall cracked open, and the dark night sky was illuminated by the blue light blade.

"No—!! How could I possibly die in a place like this?! The gods are with me—!!!"

The man exhausted all his means, but under the light blade that was comparable to the attack of a ninth-level expert, everything was like an ant trying to shake a tree. The flame domain was extinguished directly and suppressed within his body, unable to escape.

Before the light blade even reached the man, a crack appeared in his body under the immense pressure, and he was split in two and swallowed by the light blade.

A seventh-tier ability user has perished!

"Hmph—daring to insult my sister, they deserve to die." Yan Ziming exhaled a breath of turbid air, her red lips vibrant, her unparalleled beauty blooming like the most beautiful flower.

"Not that great... nowhere near as powerful as the tyrant."

Yan Ziming never expected that killing a seventh-level ability user like herself would be such a simple matter. When she was still at the sixth level, it would have taken her a lot of effort to kill someone at the same level.

Perhaps it's because of different levels of expertise!

Battles between high-level ability users involve many factors that can differentiate combat strength, such as realm, ability quality, and whether one has forged their own path. These are all important factors that affect the difference in combat strength, and these are things she could not understand when she was still at the sixth level.

If Yan Ziming were to fight Mu Mu, who is of the same level, the outcome would be hard to predict. In any case, Yan Ziming felt that his chances of winning were not very high.

In terms of cunning, Mu Mu had completely outmaneuvered him, and he would fall into her trap and be defeated if he wasn't careful.

"How was it? I did pretty well, didn't I?"

Yan Zimo withdrew the Thunder Cutter and asked Tang Ming, whose lips were twitching and whose whole body was trembling.

It wasn't just because of shock, but also a significant part of it was anger.

It's just killing one person, not a mutated species, why launch such a large-scale attack? This is an important research center in Bei'an!

How many scientific assets, immeasurable in monetary terms, vanished in an instant?

Tang Ming said in a trembling voice:

"Not bad, very good. Just be more careful next time..."

Yan Ziming noticed that he didn't seem happy. After looking around, she realized that they weren't in the middle of nowhere, but inside a research institution in Bei'an.
