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

"Aren't you underestimating the eighth rank? Has no one ever told you to have a sense of awe towards those of a higher rank than yourself? Especially since you don't know about the enemy's abilities. I know all about you, don't you?"

With a single wave of his hand, the hand that Yan Ziming had severed was perfectly glued back to his severed arm, while the remaining steel forest twisted into countless sharp spikes that flew towards Yan Ziming.

"Hmph! I've killed even eighth-tier tyrants, let alone you?!"

The lightning re-emerged, shattering all the spikes into molten iron. The falling spikes were blocked by an electromagnetic barrier. He swung the Lightning Blade and slashed from a distance, creating a blue-purple light blade. Barol dodged in time, avoiding being cleaved in two.

The two clashed again, lightning shooting into the sky, blue-purple light destroying everything, sometimes transforming into metallic steel, which would then melt into molten iron and launch an even more ferocious attack.

Meanwhile, Ye Qianxue's domain was also nearing completion.

Chapter 72 Eat shit!

Inside the cave, the aftershocks of the battle were completely blocked by Mu Mu, and apart from a slight tremor, it was eerily quiet.

On a stone pier, a stunningly beautiful woman sat cross-legged. The surrounding space twisted and turned, layer upon layer, hazy and indistinct, like a dream.

A bead of sweat dripped from Ye Qianxue's forehead. Her domain was almost complete, and breaking through to the seventh level was just around the corner.

No, she has already broken through to the seventh level, and her domain has taken shape; it only needs final accumulation and development.

Ye Qianxue took a deep breath, and all the energy that had been dissipating from her body was suddenly drawn in by something, and she swallowed it all in one gulp.

Then, a circle of silver light with a black sheen appeared, forming a circle around Ye Qianxue and rotating like a solar system.

It's like a giant millstone, grinding away everything within it. The seemingly calm environment actually harbors a powerful gravitational pull capable of shattering anything!

"Huh...huh..."

With each breath, Ye Qianxue's aura shrank back into her body and then expanded again, increasing in size with each expansion.

After repeating this process dozens of times, the area covered by the aperture touched the surrounding rock walls. Under the force of traction, the rock walls peeled off and crumbled little by little as the aperture rotated.

At this moment, Ye Qianxue opened her tightly closed eyes, her ethereal aura even greater than before. She moved her legs slightly, making a creaking sound as if her bones were colliding. Her fair skin rose and fell, and the two peaks on her chest seemed to have grown even larger, almost bursting out of her clothes.

Her life level has been elevated; this is only the initial stage. In the next ten days or so, her body will change every day, becoming more perfect and captivating.

"It's so tight..." Ye Qianxue tugged uncomfortably at her clothes, which were constricting her chest. She then looked at her body and felt stronger than ever before!

"So this is the seventh rank... No wonder my older sister always said that Chiyuki was a noob, it's really true..."

Thinking of her older sister, Ye Qianxue suddenly remembered that Yan Ziming was still unconscious. She turned around and looked, but Yan Ziming was nowhere to be seen.

"Big Sister?!"

Ye Qianxue was startled. Seeing Xiao Ze licking the back of her hand beside her, she picked it up and asked, "Where is Big Sister?"

"Meow." Xiao Ze pointed outside, shrank in size, and burrowed into the two peaks on Ye Qianxue's chest.

"Get out, or your clothes will burst if I stuff you back in!"

Xiao Ze, who had been pulled up by Ye Qianxue, let out a wronged cry and had no choice but to return to its normal size, nestling in Ye Qianxue's arms.

Just then, a deafening roar resounded, and it sounded as if something was breaking at the cave entrance. The quiet cave was then ravaged by a sudden energy storm.

The lightning that caused a series of explosions, the terrifying mental fluctuations, and the stench of molten heavy metal.

Beyond that, the spatial fluctuations that arose were all too familiar to Ye Qianxue.

"Big sister? Master sister?"

Ye Qianxue's expression changed drastically as she was surrounded by her own domain. When the energy rushed into her domain, it was pulled around by the force that tore everything apart, and began to spin in circles. Unable to maintain its energy form, it was decomposed and devoured.

Black and silver, blue and purple—bizarre and dazzling colors painted nearly half the realm.

The deeper you go, the stronger the tearing force becomes.

"Aaaaaah—there's another spatial ability user!!!"

Within the energy she devoured, a mental fluctuation emitted a heart-wrenching scream, trying to escape but unable to break free from the pull, being torn into even smaller fragments and disappearing.

Similarly, Yan Ziming and Mu Mu, who were fighting outside, also saw Youming's miserable state and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"Qianxue, did you succeed?"

"My dear elder sister——"

Ye Qianxue rushed out and saw Yan Ziming, who was in a disheveled state. The sleeves of his clothes were torn into tattered strips, and his smooth wrists were covered with dense cuts, making him look ferocious and terrifying!

Then there was Mu Mu, whose face was as pale as her own before, completely devoid of color. She swayed unsteadily, as if she might fall to the ground at any moment.

—This, this is?!

Ye Qianxue's mind was instantly ignited with rage. Her dearest older sister and master sister had been beaten like this. Even a clay figure would have some anger, let alone a vengeful young woman like her.

"Qianxue, go help Mumu! Your special ability can be a great help!"

Yan Ziming exclaimed that thanks to the effects of the Qilin whiskers, she was not seriously injured at all. The cuts on her hands were just congealed bloodstains, and she felt no pain at all.

"Huh? Oh, oh!" Ye Qianxue listened to Yan Zimo and ran happily towards Mu Mu.

"Oh right, big sister, here's Xiao Ze for you, I can't fit any more in!" Ye Qianxue suddenly ran back, handed Xiao Ze to Yan Ziming, and said.

"...Sister, I'll go back and get you checked out~~"

He casually teased Ye Qianxue, who blushed slightly and responded before going to Mu Mu's aid.

Yan Ziming said that on purpose to ease Ye Qianxue's anger, afraid that she might do something foolish in a moment of anger.

She knows her own sister best, so she's giving her a heads-up first.

"You're quite capable. I'm actually quite impressed that you could fight me for so long when I was at the eighth rank."

Barol smiled, his words filled with admiration. It was the first time he had ever seen someone survive so many of his attacks.

Logically speaking, even an S-class mutated species should have been severely injured, but Yan Ziming was still alive and kicking, causing him considerable trouble.

"Further words are pointless, let's try again!"

Yan Zimo's aura was overwhelming, his lightning like dragons, and he showed no signs of fatigue no matter how hard he fought, as he clashed with Barol.

He unleashed a barrage of powerful moves in combination with the Lightning Blade, and even the eighth-tier Balor found himself in dire straits.

He doesn't have the same formidable defense as the Tyrant. Although his body can be reassembled after being cut off, if he's hit by a powerful attack like Radiant Red Dust, that part of his body will be gone forever!

I don't know where she learned those moves from, but they're incredibly powerful. I doubt even the most advanced defensive steel plates in the United States could withstand them for more than a few seconds!

He thought to himself that he would try to improve his own moves and strive to surpass Yan Zimo!

If Yan Ziming knew his thoughts, he would definitely scoff. Xian'er was her master, and the knowledge she had gained was far beyond what he, Barol, could imagine.

Furthermore, Yan Ziming did not simply copy the knowledge left to her by Liu Mengxian; instead, she integrated it with her own insights, thus forging her own unique path.

With such conditions and such potential, even a pig would have become a spirit by now, so how can it not be powerful?

boom--

This time, it wasn't Yan Ziming who was sent flying, but Barol. He was repelled by the sudden geomagnetic force and was sent flying with even greater force than Mu Mu had done.

"You're asking for death!" Barol struggled to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of yellow mud. He had just uttered a harsh word when he felt a flash of light and darkness before his eyes. Yan Ziming was in front of him in an instant.

Completely one.

Yan Ziming used the signature skill of an eighth-tier expert.

Looking at the Raicher that was tinged with an eerie red light, Barol felt his soul tremble. Yan Zimo's ability to use this move was far beyond his expectations.

After all, he wasn't there when Youming was chasing Yan Zimo and the others, so he naturally didn't know her trump cards.

"I won't die—! God protect me!!!"

It's too late to prepare your ultimate move to counter it now. With a ferocious expression, Barol quickly took out a black scale from his pocket, the same type as the one attached to Yan Ziming's foot!

The scale rapidly enlarged, obscuring Yan Ziming's view. Upon seeing it, Yan Ziming's expression became extremely unnatural, showing extreme apprehension towards it.

But she still resolutely slashed at it.

Because, in the face of Raichi, no method can stop him!

"Mo Xin, help me!"

"They're here! They're here!"

"Barol, huh? You're asking for trouble!"

After receiving Mo Xin's response, the blade became transparent and its power increased. It struck the black scale head-on, exploding with dazzling light!

Chapter Seventy-Three: Trump Card

The scorching heat swept across the land, and lightning, weaving death and destruction, illuminated everything in all directions. The brilliant lightning pierced through the thick fog and could be seen even from a great distance.

Just as Yan Ziming had expected, the Raikiri easily cleaved through the black scales, creating a large gash.

However, only physical damage is effective; all energy damage is absorbed by it and not a single bit is released.

In other words, the Raikiri only cleaved through the scales, while the Barol, protected by the scales, remained unharmed.

The Raikiri's ability to annihilate everything depends on the blade touching an object. While the energy attack emanating from it is more powerful than Yan Zimo's bare hands, it is not as effective as the blade's ability to penetrate defenses 100%.

"Consider yourself lucky!" Yan Ziming's attack failed, and he flashed to a distance of several dozen meters, keeping a watchful eye on the black scales.

The scales, split in two, melted into a pool of liquid that seemed to wriggle there as if it were alive, sending chills down her spine.

"Thanks to the gods for their protection." Barol, who had escaped death, prayed devoutly, kneeling on the ground, completely ignoring Yan Ziming's menacing gaze.
