Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Seeing that they couldn't break through after a long siege, they no longer held back their Ghost Eye.

His body suddenly surged with black primal force, and his aura became deep and violent.

"Netherworld Ghost Claw!"

In an instant, the countless claw shadows expanded several times over, each one wrapped in dark, nether energy, emitting a shrill shriek.

The offensive suddenly became much more powerful, and in just one exchange, it ruthlessly tore through the sword-blade defense network constructed by Bai Yuan!

Baiyuan staggered backward, and at the same time, with a thought, he unleashed a "Soul-Shattering Thrust" that struck directly at the Ghost Eye's sea of ​​consciousness.

Almost simultaneously, forty-eight sword blades swiftly merged into one, the dark giant sword radiating a chilling killing intent, aimed directly at Ghost Eye's neck!

"snort!"

Ghost Eyes let out a muffled groan, clearly caught off guard by the sudden soul attack.

A sharp pain shot through his mind, causing him to pause in his movements.

But he was ultimately a super genius who had experienced countless battles, and his willpower was far stronger than that of ordinary people.

The soul impact did not cause any real damage, but only slowed his movements for a brief moment.

In that instant, the Absolute River Sword had already reached him!

Swish!

At the critical moment of life and death, Ghost Eye forcibly activated the secret technique, his speed suddenly rising to the limit, and his whole body turned into a blurry afterimage as he retreated violently.

The sword's edge grazed almost the tip of his nose, and the sharp sword energy left a shallow, thin bloodstain on his cheek.

"Such a tenacious will; it's somewhat beyond my expectations."

Bai Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly, and he exclaimed in admiration.

He had originally estimated that even if this soul attack couldn't severely injure the opponent, it would at least throw them into a brief period of confusion, thus creating an opportunity to win.

Unexpectedly, the other party's will was so strong, and their reaction was astonishingly fast.

"Your strength has also exceeded my expectations." Ghost Eye raised his hand to wipe the bloodstains from his cheek.

"If I concentrate my efforts to defend against your soul attacks, it will inevitably affect my performance; but if I don't take precautions, I'm not confident that I can withstand them every time."

He shook his head and chuckled, his tone carrying undisguised admiration.

The situation was clear, and Ghost Eye was caught in a dilemma.

Without using his ultimate move, he would find it difficult to break through Baiyuan's impenetrable sword blade defense.

However, if one focuses their energy on unleashing their ultimate move, they cannot completely resist that invisible and intangible soul attack.

Thinking of this, the last trace of hesitation in Ghost Eyes vanished, replaced by an unwavering determination.

Rumble!

In an instant, a fierce wind arose centered on him!

That was no ordinary wind; it seemed to be a sinister wind from the underworld.

The temperature in the entire block plummeted, the light dimmed, and it seemed as if countless phantoms were swaying and howling in the wind.

Eightfold Domain of Wind!

This time, Ghost Eyes clearly held nothing back.

The oppressive force emanating from the domain at full power far surpassed that of the previous probing.

This was also the first time he had proactively released his domain since they started fighting.

Without hesitation, Baiyuan immediately deployed his Water Domain.

A blue halo quietly spread outwards, like a clear, calm lake.

Ripples were faintly visible within the area, and no whistling could be heard; it seemed to have a long and continuous flow.

The eerie wind tore through the water, crashing into it as if sinking into an invisible swamp. Its speed decreased drastically, and its shrill cry was mostly swallowed up by the tranquility of the flowing water.

In the dark and chaotic world, this patch of azure blue, like the only pure land in the eye of the storm, steadily holds up a world of its own.

Ghost Eyes frowned slightly, keenly sensing the abnormality.

"The peak of the fifth level of the Water Domain? This level shouldn't be able to so stably contend with my Wind Domain..."

His gaze was fixed on the blue waves when he suddenly sensed something unusual.

"This body of water... seems to contain primordial laws?"

"No, it should only have touched the surface. If it had truly crossed the threshold of the laws, my domain would have no chance of still having the upper hand."

Just as Ghost Eye had predicted, Baiyuan did indeed sense a trace of the fundamental law of water.

Although it doesn't reach the "entry-level" level, this slight law is enough to elevate his water domain to another level, with its actual power comparable to the sixth level.

In addition, Baiyuan's control and application of the domain far surpasses that of others, which is why he was able to resist with ease.

On the surface, Baiyuan's territory has been compressed, making it seem like they are at a disadvantage.

In reality, he did not expand at full capacity. Under the suppression of the opponent's eighth-level domain, blindly expanding the scope would not have provided any real help.

"Although the level of mastery is high, its application is rather crude."

Baiyuan also understood the shortcomings of the Ghost Eye.

The opponent's domain may seem imposing and oppressive, but in terms of subtle manipulation and change, it appears rather straightforward and lacks finesse.

Not to mention that Baiyuan's mental state has now broken through, and his control over power has improved even further.

Even before, he was confident that he could easily outmaneuver his opponent in terms of application of the field.

"Netherworld Ghost Claw!"

With a fierce shout, Ghost Eye unleashed a barrage of claw shadows, like ghostly hands reaching out from the depths of hell, sweeping across Bai Yuan!

"Soul-Shattering Thrust! River-Severing Sword Formation!"

Bai Yuan's gaze was calm. An invisible and intangible soul spike struck first, piercing straight into the Ghost Eye's sea of ​​consciousness. At the same time, dark light surged in front of him, and the giant sword fiercely met the sky full of ghost claws!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! ! !

Claw shadows and sword light clashed wildly, and ear-piercing explosions swept in all directions.

Sometimes the howling of ghosts overwhelmed the waves, and sometimes the clear sound of swords tore through the eerie wind.

In terms of absolute strength and domain power, Ghost Eye is undoubtedly superior.

The speed and offensive boost from the Eightfold Wind Domain made each of his attacks appear like a ghostly flash, posing a great threat.

However, the "Soul-Shattering Thorn" is like a leech, always striking suddenly just as he is about to succeed.

Although the attacks were not fatal, they repeatedly disrupted his rhythm, causing his killing moves to be momentarily delayed.

In contrast, Baiyuan's grasp of the timing of battle was exquisite.

He always seemed to be able to predict Ghost Eye's next move, or find a fleeting weakness in the clash of domains.

The Absolute River Sword sometimes breaks into smaller pieces, weaving like a fish to intercept with precision; at other times it gathers and disperses to break through the surface with a single point, forcibly repelling the Ghost Eye's fierce attack.

For a time, the battlefield fell into a strange balance.

The Ghost Eyes launched a barrage of attacks, but they were just a hair's breadth away from truly breaking through the dense yet subtly sharp defense.

Baiyuan's occasional counterattacks were fierce and extraordinary, but they were not able to shake the opponent for the time being.

The two sides clashed rapidly in the broken streets and above the ruins, each collision creating ripples, resulting in a fierce and stalemate.

"This guy's water domain is probably at the peak of the seventh level! I have the advantage in domain aspect, I can win this battle!"

Ghost Eyes was, after all, a super genius, and quickly adjusted his strategy.

Since he has the advantage in the area, he doesn't need to launch a relentless attack.

As long as we proceed steadily and gradually accumulate advantages, while also focusing some of our energy on our sea of ​​consciousness to guard against soul attacks, we can succeed.

As a result, his offensive slowed down slightly, unlike before, but he was able to maintain a steady pace.

The scales of victory will eventually tip in his favor.

Of course, he also cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.

Against an opponent like Baiyuan, even the slightest flaw could be seized upon instantly, leading to a reversal of the situation.

The terrifying shockwaves generated by the two's fierce battle had already alerted the other participants in the area.

Several figures were secretly observing from a distance.

When the two sides in the battle were identified, many people gasped in shock.

"It's Ghost Eye and Absolute River! These two are actually facing off!"

"Ghost Eye is one thing; with his current points and ranking, even if he's eliminated after losing, losing half his points will likely keep him in the next round. But 'River of Despair' is different. If he loses half his points, he'll immediately fall out of the top 1001!"

"In that case, Juehe cannot afford to lose this battle."
