The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Above the sky, the azure domain was being pushed back inch by inch.

Chen Zhenyuan could feel that the boundaries of his domain were retreating. This retreat was not something he actively contracted, but rather something that was forcibly pushed back by the sea of ​​blood.

Even though he tried his best to resist, he still couldn't stop the retreating momentum.

At the same time, the severe depletion of mental energy has greatly reduced the strength and power of his domain.

After all, from the moment he arrived at the battlefield and unleashed his Azure罡 Domain with all his might...

The sea of ​​consciousness kept pouring outwards.

The fatigue from guarding the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons for a day and a night hadn't subsided yet, and now he had to face a monster a whole rank stronger than himself head-on.

It's already a miracle that the domain hasn't collapsed!

Of course, it would be fine if we were suppressed in terms of a specific area.

What Chen Zhenyuan found even harder to accept was...

The woman's domain power was not only attacking, it was also corrupting. The red threads that had seeped into the domain did not completely obey his gale-force cutting.

Some of it will remain, adhering to the inner wall of the domain, gnawing away at his control over it like a parasite.

The backlash from the disappearance of a domain is even more severe.

While my brain was throbbing, my chest felt heavy, as if a stone was pressing down on it.

Even breathing has become extremely difficult!

Even so... he still stubbornly held on.

Opposite him, Vera stood in the very center of the churning sea of ​​blood, her long sword casually slung over her shoulder, her posture as relaxed as if she were sunbathing in her own backyard.

"I actually thought you could have some fun for me."

"So, that's all you've got?"

"Not enough to see?"

As her teasing words fell, she slightly raised her right hand, twirled the long sword halfway around her shoulder, and casually swung it forward.

The movements were understated.

However, the Blood Sea Domain reacted extremely violently to this action.

In an instant, a blood wave, hundreds of meters high, rose from the sea and roared down towards Chen Zhenyuan's Azure Gang Domain.

"Snap—!"

This is too heavy.

The barrier in front of Chen Zhenyuan immediately cracked open, with a gap about tens of meters long. The cyan energy at the edge of the crack pulsed wildly, like a rope about to break.

A few strands of crimson energy slipped in through the crack.

Those things didn't seem like unconscious energy flows; instead, they carried a strange spirituality. After they entered, they didn't scatter but went straight for Chen Zhenyuan's chest.

Extremely fast.

Chen Zhenyuan's eyes darkened.

He didn't have time to use his domain to compress these strands of energy, so he could only focus his mind on gathering a gale and slashing horizontally at those blood-red threads.

"Sever."

In an instant, the azure gales around him instantly converged into an invisible blade, cleanly and neatly slicing the strands of crimson energy that were wrapping around him into pieces.

The fragments dissipated in the air, turning into pale red specks of light.

But it was precisely this moment of distraction that caused him to be blasted back a hundred meters by Vera's crimson domain.

He stumbled and almost lost his balance.

Vera saw the whole scene clearly, especially Chen Zhenyuan's disheveled appearance, and instantly laughed: "Look at you, why are you trying so hard to block?"

As she spoke, she took a step forward, and the sea of ​​blood automatically parted and closed beneath her feet, as if serving its master as she walked.

"It's not like I'm going to kill you."

"Tell me what you know, and tell me who has the Heart of the Blazing Sun. If I'm in a good mood, I might mercifully let you die a quick death."

"Of course... if you don't know what's good for you!"

As she said this, Vera's voice trailed off, and the tip of her knife slowly rose, passing over Chen Zhenyuan's body and pointing towards a more distant direction behind him.

"I'll kill you, you old bastard, first! Then I'll cut down those cities behind you, one by one."

"If one person doesn't speak, I'll kill ten thousand. If ten thousand people don't speak, I'll kill one hundred thousand."

"Someone will always say that."

As these words were spoken, Chen Zhenyuan's anger surged once more.

But he didn't curse. He didn't yell. He didn't say anything harsh.

He simply looked down and glanced behind him.

In the far distance, the outline of the city is faintly visible on the horizon.

Due to the aftermath of the battle, alarms have been sounded in those cities, and countless ordinary people are being urgently evacuated under the guidance of military and security personnel.

From that distance, they couldn't see what was happening on the battlefield.

But they must have seen the unusual blood-red hue on the horizon, and they must have felt the shadow that could fall upon them at any moment.

Behind him were millions of people; he could not fall.

Even if it means death, these bastards will pay the price!

After a short while, Chen Zhenyuan withdrew his gaze, his breathing becoming heavier than before.

The tightness and pain in my chest are intensifying, and the area affected is shrinking.

All of my body's vital signs are declining.

But his slightly hunched back straightened up a bit.

"You talk too much nonsense."

The next moment, Chen Zhenyuan spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly carried throughout the entire battlefield.

But anyone who hears these words.

You can feel the unwavering determination within it; there are no impassioned declarations or grand pronouncements.

After saying that, Chen Zhenyuan stopped looking at Vera's reaction.

He slowly raised his hands, one up and one down, like the starting gesture of Tai Chi.

But the moment he raised his hands, the entire Azure Gang Domain changed. The domain stopped expanding and stopped resisting the erosion of the sea of ​​blood.

Instead, it began to contract inward.

The once overwhelming gale suddenly vanished as if forcibly grasped back into the palm of an unseen hand, and the sound of the wind for dozens of miles around disappeared abruptly.

Even the rubble that was still rolling in the ruins stopped, and the dust and debris that had been flying around in the air because of the two people's battle fell back to the ground in one fell swoop.

At that moment, it was as if the whole world held its breath.

At the same time, in this silence, a silent but extremely heavy power fluctuation spread out from Chen Zhenyuan's body in all directions.

"Buzz buzz buzz~!"

Admittedly, those energies made no sound, but everyone felt that the power seemed to surge up from their hearts, and they quickly resonated with that pulsating force.

This scene immediately made the Star Hunters watching the show in the ruins below raise their heads simultaneously.

Buck, in particular, slightly lost his smile and frowned.

"Is this old bastard... going to fight to the death?"

Vera clearly noticed the change, and her eyes narrowed instantly.

As a veteran who had fought countless battles in the starry sea, she could naturally tell what the other party was doing.

Compression field.

All the scattered forces of the rules are brought back to a single point.
