Chapter 867 - 387: Divine Domain (Part 2)

For a moment, a strange atmosphere permeated the scene.

After a long silence, Mao Qi softly chuckled, breaking the silence: "In that case, it seems I was rash. I hope Brother Chen won’t mind."

"No problem." Chu Xiu waved his hand.

"Then shall we stick to the original plan and find Miss Xuanzhao first? Perhaps she holds an unexpected key to breaking the stalemate."

Everyone nodded in agreement without much discussion.

The group took out their communication artifacts. Although there was strong interference here, the shortened distance allowed them to successfully connect one signal, and with it, they began to explore inside the Star Jumping Ship.

Despite the outward calm, there was a newfound wariness in everyone’s eyes.

Chu Xiu knew that naturally, they couldn’t easily trust him.

Their civility was merely because of his remark: "What makes you think you can confront a Tribulation Body on your own?"

It seemed everyone realized the correct way to pass the trial for a Civilization Envoy was to watch the battle between the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation and the Tribulation Body, and choose a side to assist opportunistically.

To reveal their intentions now would be premature.

Even though a fierce battle was avoided, Chu Xiu’s expression remained grim, as he couldn’t figure out how to convince the seven Civilization Envoys to help him. In the face of that terrifying Divine Body, anyone’s first instinct would be to side with the other party.

Unless he could gain the upper hand in the fight against the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation, but how could that be possible?

"Could it be that the only chance to clear the trial is to endure until the time limit?"

"No, maybe that God’s corpse has some weaknesses I’m not aware of..."

Tribulations weren’t certain death trials; at least the Blood Pool mentioned that the Divine King once trained disciples who could clear the tribulation.

Not to mention that Chu Xiu had gone through tribulations beforehand; his Tribulation Body was stronger than other tribulation takers. He believed he wouldn’t be inferior to them, and there must be a way to succeed.

As he furrowed his brows, deep in thought, suddenly a scarlet mist appeared up ahead.

Everyone, being highly perceptive, instantly realized something was wrong and halted!

Chu Xiu sensed a familiar power from the scarlet mist; the mist contained Rule Power!

"Let’s go around it," suggested Mao Qi.

Zhu Jiu nodded, but before he could respond, his expression changed dramatically!

Unknowingly, the scarlet mist, which had been miles away, suddenly appeared right next to them without any warning!

The mist did not move at all, as if it had always been there!

"Not good! Block the mist quickly!" Zhu Jiu shouted.

Without his words, everyone also activated their defensive Divine Techniques immediately. Chu Xiu waved his hand, and a large amount of Demonic Qi formed a seamless "wall" around him.

Yet in the next moment, to his disbelief, the scarlet mist, like previous Tribulation Thunder, completely ignored the dense Demon Energy Barrier he formed and drifted towards him as if nothing existed in midair!

Chu Xiu hurriedly retreated, but was even more shocked to discover that no matter how he moved, the distance between him and the mist continued to shrink! It was as if the mist used him as a coordinate, independent of all reference frames!

Mao Qi’s face turned extremely pale, and he said in a low voice, "There’s no use struggling; this is the Divine Domain. Within its range, it cannot be defended against; being hit is inevitable, and escape is futile."

Divine Domain, indefensible! Guaranteed hit!

What kind of insane ability was this? How could you fight with such an ability?

"Sizzle!"

Before Chu Xiu could recover from his shock, the scarlet mist had already touched his body, and at the instant of contact, his skin erupted with dense blisters, as if burned, containing a yellow pus that looked extremely disgusting.

His Constitution, which exceeded ten thousand, and skin that could withstand a nuclear blast at a hundred meters, began to decay with no resistance!

"It’s Brother Shagu’s Law of Cancer Transformation!" Mao Qi quickly used sound transmission, "My previous speculation was right! The corpse of that God possesses powers corresponding to their Laws, and Brother Shagu’s Rule Power was stripped away; without fearing retaliation, it can use this power to attack us!"

"This time, there must be no casualties! Quickly use Secret Techniques to break the law!"

As soon as he finished, Mao Qi immediately sat down cross-legged, and streams of pale blue light floated around him like morning stars moving along a fixed trajectory. Miraculously, these stars could fend off the scarlet mist!

Chu Xiu squinted slightly, but wasn’t too surprised. For these Civilization Envoys from advanced civilizations, Rule Power was no longer rare. Since they wield such powers, they naturally have means to counter them.

Everyone else also performed their Secret Techniques, each differing, with Mao Qi and Zhu Jiu’s being the most advanced. A golden Giant Dragon arose behind Zhu Jiu, and streaks of golden light scattered the mist.

Although the scarlet mist couldn’t approach the two of them, they had no extra energy to help the others.

The other people’s law-breaking Secret Techniques were much inferior, barely holding up for the moment but becoming increasingly strenuous.

As for Chu Xiu, he was in worse shape; he didn’t know any law-breaking Secret Techniques, relying entirely on his strong Life Force and the Tribulation Body’s traits to endure! In an instant, his entire skin had already decayed!

"Brother Chen! What are you standing there for? Use a law-breaking Secret Technique, quick!" Zhu Jiu was the first to notice his condition, his expression changed abruptly, urgently shouting.
