Chapter 398 The Battle Between Lin Che and the Burning Sky Crimson Ape

The moonlight was fragmented by the clouds, casting flickering shadows on the ground.

On the desolate plains to the southeast, two figures, one in front of the other, left distinctly different trails in the night sky.

A dark red streak, like lava bursting its banks, and a bluish-white streak, like a cascading river of stars, left new scars on the ground with each collision and tore the air to shreds with each intersection, the fragments lingering in the night wind.

They were hundreds of miles away from Chuyang City, and the terrain beneath their feet had changed from meadows to scree beaches, and then from scree beaches to undulating hills, but the battle never stopped.

Lin Che swung his right fist again.

This time, the azure dragon phantom behind him was no longer just coiled around his arm, but suddenly raised its head like a living creature awakened, its head lowered, its gaze looking down at the Burning Sky Crimson Ape from the void, and a ball of azure light condensed in its mouth.

Lin Che's fist seemed to merge with the dragon's head. Before the fist even arrived, the force field pressing down on the Burning Sky Crimson Ape caused the rocks within a radius of tens of feet to explode simultaneously, as if an invisible giant hammer had smashed down from above. Cracks on the ground spread outwards like a spider web.

The Burning Sky Crimson Ape did not retreat.

Its arms suddenly opened wide, and a dark red spiritual light condensed on its fists to form a spiritual energy barrier. The dark red crystals with lava patterns flowing on their surface looked like magma that had been instantly solidified, gleaming with a scorching light in the night sky.

The azure light and the dark red crystal barrier collided at extremely close range, and a violent roar resounded throughout the plain, causing the distant hills to tremble slightly, and pebbles to roll down the hillsides.

The ground beneath the feet of the Burning Sky Crimson Ape cracked into deep, spiderweb-like trenches, yet it did not retreat a single step. However, the contempt it had shown earlier was gone from its pair of crimson-gold vertical pupils.

The two continued to exchange blows for several hours, but the human in front of them showed no signs of weakening.

Each collision consumed a bit of the Burning Sky Crimson Ape's power, and each exchange wore down its patience. Yet the human's fist remained as powerful as ever. How could this person possess such profound strength?

"You really do have something. No wonder those two good-for-nothings fell into your hands." Its voice came from the night wind, its tone serious, unlike before.

He stepped back two paces to the side, creating distance, and the spiritual light within his body no longer surged like a tide, but instead condensed like silk.

The dark red spiritual energy was repeatedly compressed, folded, and reassembled in its meridians into a more complex and ancient form. Each reassembly changed the temperature and air pressure around it, causing the surrounding air to emit a low hum.

The next moment, its domain expanded.

It wasn't the kind of oppressive aura that was merely an outward manifestation of spiritual light, but a more refined domain power that directly interacted with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The dark red aura, centered on the Burning Sky Crimson Ape, spread outwards like a drop of ink falling into water, covering everything in its path with a dark red halo.

The clouds in the sky touched by that halo began to twist and curl as if they were being branded with a hot iron. The water vapor in the clouds evaporated instantly in the high temperature, turning into patches of torn white mist.

The sand and gravel beneath the touched ground began to melt, changing from a solid to a viscous liquid, flowing slowly across the surface like a solidifying lava lake, radiating a scorching heat in the night breeze.

"Very well, you've made me start taking this seriously. I just wonder if you can still cause trouble within my Blazing Heaven Domain!"

At this moment, Lin Che felt the spiritual energy around him being evaporated at a visible speed.

When the Five Elements spiritual power flowing throughout his body came into contact with the edge of the Burning Heaven Melting Domain, it was like thin ice being baked by high temperature, and began to peel off and dissipate layer by layer.

The evaporation was not a violent burning, but a more silent erosion, like the receding tide. With each breath, it took away a portion of his spiritual energy, making his meridians have to exert twice the effort to keep running.

Lin Che's previously expressionless face finally showed a serious expression.

The domain is something he doesn't have.

The time it took him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage was too short, leaving him no time to acquire his own domain, and he didn't even know how to do so yet.

But he did have countermeasures!

A powerful aura of malevolence began to emerge around Lin Che.

The dark red God Domain of the Warlord began to spread outwards, and the killing aura of the two on the battlefield began to converge on Lin Che's entire body!

That's right, this is the divine power of the Yaren Dragon Beast—the Divine Domain of the Warlord, a power that Lin Che has never used before.

The "Ten Thousand Beasts Paying Homage to the Ancestor" technique allows you to form a contract with a natal spirit beast at each major realm. After the contract is completed, you will gain a divine ability of the natal spirit beast.

During his Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, Lin Che chose to form contracts with the Burning Heaven Sacred Sparrow and the Azure Profound Realm Spirit, gaining the divine abilities of Phoenix Blood True Fire and Absolute Void Concealment.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage, he chose to contract with the Yaren Dragon Beast, intending to obtain its terrifying attack power, the God-Slaying Blade, as a trump card. However, he ended up obtaining the God Domain of the Weapon Master.

This domain-specific divine power is geared towards the battlefield.

The domain expands, and all metal within its range submits, weapons change hands, low-level magic treasures are directly controlled, and high-level magic treasures are suppressed by spiritual power. It can also summon dragon demon soldiers to form an army formation for attack, and can transform all the killing energy and fighting will within the domain into itself and the dragon demon soldiers.

Although it is not as good as the opponent's domain in terms of one-on-one combat ability, now that the domain has been expanded, the domineering suppressive force has obviously weakened.

The dissipation of spiritual energy throughout the body has slowed down by 30%!

The five elements spiritual power that was originally being eroded by the Burning Heaven Melting Domain is now being re-condensed under the protection of the evil energy of the War God Domain. Although it is still being slowly consumed, it is no longer as easily stripped away as before.

At the same time, another supernatural power was quietly activated.

If one possessed a perceptive supernatural ability, they would see that at this moment, streams of dark yellow earth vein energy were continuously converging towards Lin Che's body.

This is the supernatural power that Lin Che obtained after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and forming a life-bound contract with the Mountain-Bearing Dragon Turtle: Earth Vein Restoration.

Being able to draw upon the earth's energy on a large scale, Lin Che possesses near-infinite endurance as long as he stands on the ground.

The earthy yellow spiritual light surging up from the depths of the earth was like invisible umbilical cords, connecting him to the earth beneath his feet. With each breath, he drew new power from the earth's veins, replenishing the spiritual energy evaporated by the Burning Heaven Melting Domain.

With a flick of his wrist, the Tier 3 top-grade Rift Wind Spear, crafted by Master Tie Wushuang, appeared in Lin Che's hand.

Of course, Lin Che has now upgraded this spear to a fourth-tier top-grade weapon using the power of the system.

The gun was long and slender, its tip gleaming coldly. In the dark red aura of the domain, it resembled a compressed cyan lightning bolt. Each rotation left a fine trail of light in the air. The spiritual patterns on the gun resonated with Lin Che's spiritual power, emitting a deep hum.

The battle continues.

Under the shroud of the God of War's domain, Lin Che's figure was like a stream of azure light that was repeatedly folded and unfolded, constantly shuttling through the Burning Heaven Melting Domain.

He no longer relied solely on the power of his fists, but instead reintegrated his marksmanship into the fight.

The spear seemed alive in his hands; each thrust left a trail of blue in the air, and each retraction prepared him for the next strike.

The shadows of guns wove together in the night sky into a flowing net, blocking the attacks of the Burning Sky Crimson Ape layer by layer.

The Crimson Ape's fist was wrapped in dark red spiritual light, and each strike created a scorching shockwave on the gun, forcing Lin Che back several steps.

But every time Lin Che retreated, he would press forward again in the next instant, the tip of his spear leaving shallow marks on the protective aura of the Burning Sky Crimson Ape, as if repeatedly carving the same line on a dark red iron wall.

The Burning Sky Crimson Ape's fists grew increasingly fierce and heavy, each strike leaving a charred mark on the ground. Yet Lin Che's spear remained like an unextinguished firefly within the dark red domain, searching for the next opening with each collision.

However, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in Lin Che's heart.

The feeling was so light that he almost thought it was an illusion.

Amidst the scorching heatwaves of the Burning Heaven Domain, he seemed to sense the ever-flowing energy between heaven and earth, suppressed by the high temperatures and buried by the flames.

Those auras flowed silently within the domain of the Burning Sky Crimson Ape, like an underground river flowing through the depths of a volcano, like a stream meandering through the crevices of lava.

They were obscured by the scorching heat of the molten heavens and the surging dark red spiritual light, yet they never ceased to flow.

Lin Che's gun was a second slower.

In that instant, the Crimson Ape's fist grazed his shoulder, the scorching wind from the punch burning a charred hole in his robe, but he didn't care.

His gaze fell on an unseen point in the void, on things he had never truly felt.

Those winds that flowed through the gaps in the scorching heat and the baleful aura, those airs that rolled down from the distant hills, scattered and then reassembled by the shockwaves of the battle, those cyclical air currents that spread outwards after each collision and were squeezed back by new shockwaves.

He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again.

When the gun was drawn again, the light on it changed.

The cyan spiritual energy that had been condensed on the tip of the spear, almost tangible, suddenly became light and airy, like a thin veil blown away by the wind.

The trajectory of the gun was no longer a sharp, straight thrust, but began to show an arc like a cloud blown by the wind, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes up, sometimes down. Each change of direction was as if it were gently moved by an invisible airflow, unpredictable and untraceable.

The Crimson Ape's pupils contracted slightly.

"A sudden realization?"

Lin Che did not answer.

The third realm of "Riding the Wind and Clouds with the Heavenly Gang Spear Technique" - Wind Control and Freedom Realm.

At this moment, the wind veins that he had previously had to consciously perceive were now clearly revealed to him, as if a veil had been lifted.

The wind was no longer something to be caught; it had become a part of his body, like breathing, like a heartbeat, like the effortless flow of blood through his veins.

On the wasteland, an invisible wind began to gather.

The winds didn't come from outside, but rather surged out from the cracks between heaven and earth that had been suppressed for so long by the Burning Heaven Melting Domain, awakening from the ever-flowing, never-ending energy channels that still pulsed between the dark red spiritual light and the high temperature.

As if awakened from long-dormant memories, they began to converge, rotate, and coalesce in the same direction.

Within Lin Che's dantian, the newly formed nascent soul suddenly opened its eyes.

Its pupils reflected a condensing cyan light, a law being inscribed, like a repeatedly polished thread, slowly taking shape, taking root, and growing on the surface of the nascent soul.

The light grew brighter and more solid, eventually coalescing into a mark resembling a wind pattern at the center of the nascent soul's brow, radiating a warm and enduring light within the dantian.

At the same time, a pale blue halo, hundreds of feet wide, spread out around Lin Che.

The halo, like mist blown away by the wind, opened up a new space within the Burning Heaven Crimson Ape's Burning Heaven Melting Domain.

When the scorching crimson light touched the edge of the blue area, it did not collide or explode. Instead, it was pushed away layer by layer, like flames being separated by water, bending, turning, and retreating at the edge.

The oppressive heat of that space was gone, replaced by a sense of lightness and freedom, as if enveloped by flowing water.

The air was no longer distorted by the scorching heat of the molten realm, but had regained its original flowing state. Every wisp of wind was passing through, swirling, and converging, as if a space had been re-injected with breath.

The Crimson Ape's figure swayed slightly the moment it entered the Flowing Cloud Domain.

Its sense of direction deviated by a barely perceptible margin, as if even the ground was tilting slightly. The fist that was supposed to smash into Lin Che's chest grazed his shoulder at the last moment, deviating by a full half foot.

Its five senses began to be interfered with by an invisible force. Its originally clear senses of hearing, sight, and smell became blurred as if they were seen through a water curtain under the cover of the Flowing Cloud Domain.

Under the cover of the Flowing Cloud Domain, it could no longer sense Lin Che's exact location.

The azure figure appeared in the clouds like a folded shadow, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, appearing from a different angle each time.

Lin Che's gun completely broke free from its established patterns within the Flowing Cloud Domain.

Those spear techniques no longer followed any fixed form. Each spear strike was generated naturally according to the changes in the airflow within the domain, the movement of the Burning Sky Crimson Ape, and the rhythm of the battle. No strike was superfluous, and no strike could be predicted.

The spear seemed to be lifted by the wind in the Flowing Cloud Domain. Every swing of Lin Che guided the direction of those air currents, and those air currents, in turn, propelled the trajectory of the spear tip. There was no longer a distinction between primary and secondary.

The spear tip left its first scratch on the protective aura of the Burning Sky Crimson Ape.

The scratch was very shallow, almost invisible, like a fingernail lightly scraping across a metal plate.

But then came the second, the third, the fourth... They landed precisely in the same spot, each one layered, deepened, and expanded on the previous marks, like wounds that were being repeatedly cut open, approaching the real flesh at a visible speed.

The Crimson Ape was taken aback.

He was so angry that he laughed.

Is it really possible for someone to have a sudden enlightenment in the heat of battle, and even comprehend the power of a domain?

Its field is the result of nearly a hundred years of hard work and refinement, and has been repeatedly honed, tempered and reorganized on the brink of life and death before it finally took shape.

And this human in front of me actually comprehended it on his own during the battle.

Taking a deep breath, the Burning Sky Crimson Ape's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Okay, that's good, it's time to end this."
