Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Domain Theft

The seven snakes spawned underneath Mu Yu’s feet and rose overhead to come back down. Mu Yu’s attempt to teleport only led him to another one as though they could read his movements.

“Surprised?” Bai Jie guffawed upon seeing Mu Yu’s face that told him the latter identified Dian Shi’s Mad Darkness Seven Ends domain. “I can use anyone’s domain as long as I’m in Sumeru Switch Scroll.”

Bai Jie’s proficiency at commanding the seven snakes put Dian Shi’s to shame, giving Mu Yu unprecedented grief against a speedy fighter.

If Bai Jie can use everyone’s domain, he’d use Life and Death in the Blank of an Eye against me. There must be some drawback to the ability.

Bai Jie could only employ domains that Sumeru Switch Scroll had obtained the brand for the same way it needed to envelop the cities in the scroll’s diagram in order to use the lives he had branded. Even so, that was fifty domains in his repertoire, at the very least; that meant Mu Yu had to fight over fifty Apotheosis Realm adepts.

“Still going to resist?”

“Didn’t I tell you it’s stupid to switch to the losing team?”

Mu Yu expedited his formation casting ability with Primordial Yin Yang, stopping the snakes from biting his head off with Contiguous Horizon Formation. He simultaneously pressed his hands together to deploy Universe Ruler. A dragon’s roar sounded from Primordial Yin Yang’s centre, and then seven green dragons assuming Dragon Vine’s form, twirling around each other, emerged around Mu Yu, staring down the seven dragons.

The seven dragons flashed in, initiating a biting, clawing war with the enemy snakes while the clouds fled.

“How do you know Mad Darkness Seven Ends?”

“Got a problem with it?”

Mu Yu had the spinning Primordial Yin Yang in front of Mu Yu imbue him with energy, then bound to Bai Jie’s side in one go – Milky Way Masher. Bai Jie condensed starlight into his right hand and went fist to fist with Mu Yu’s right fist, generating torrid energy around them. Mu Yu went back with a numb arm, while Bai Jie capitalised on the retreat, pursuing Mu Yu with a red bow in hand created from ghouls and fired off arrows in an omnidirectional fashion.

Mu Yu flashed out of the way whilst calling his dragons back to blast the arrows. Unexpectedly, the arrows came out unscathed and pierced his dragons, consequently dismantling the domain. Bai Jie was in position next to Mu Yu by the time Mu Yu could sense the former. Caught off guard, Mu Yu called forth “My Lord, Undulate” to cancel out the heavy swing Bai Jie made with a hammer.

Though Mu Yu could replicate domains he had seen or used previously, he was limited by how much he knew about them. Technically, his versions were bootlegs of the proper versions. Hence, Bai Jie ploughed through the box that Mu Yu attempted to decelerate his strike with. Luckily, it abated enough of Bai Jie’s output for Mu Yu to just stop the hammer from breaking him. Mu Yu barely scraped by, blocking the swing and a few arrows but still caught one to the shoulder, crashing into the ground.

“Weakling.” Bai Jie rammed Mu Yu with a barrage of ghost claws, digging Mu Yu a grave whilst sinking him down.

Standing on Mu Yu to fend off whatever he could in addition to nursing Mu Yu’s injuries, Xiaoshuai griped, “This guy is a real nuisance.”

Mu Yu sped into Wood Spirit to close his wounds and repair the ribs he broke. Bai Jie, knowing what Mu Yu’s intentions were, dug up Wood Spirit and then caged it in starlight. Mu Yu, consequently, emerged to swipe the starlight bars and hurtle. Bai Jie had his next move set up, banishing Mu Yu dozens of kilometres away with a vacuum palm strike, forcing Mu Yu to shield himself with Universe Ruler a second time.

“You really are a tough one to kill. Nonetheless, I’m done playing games with you.”

Bai Jie fired a soul energy beam down at a defenceless Mu Yu. Out of nowhere, a phantasmal mountain manifested, blitzing the soul energy beam away. Bai Jie deemed the mountain threatening enough to warrant a retreat.

“You will not hurt anyone else!” Eyes golden, Tian Ran tore open a rift into Mu Yu’s location.

“World Manifestation Samsara Cycle Mountain!”
