Staring at the distorted spatial rift in the sky and the giant hand emerging from it, Feng Qi felt an overwhelming sense of pressure once again.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Yet his heart remained calm.
This situation was different.
On the previous Sacrifice Line, he had lacked the power to resist the giant hand.
But with Mu Qing present this time, he had no need for excessive worry.
Just then, the giant hand, carrying the momentum of the entire world, began to descend slowly.
Feng Qi immediately felt a crushing weight descend from above, as if a small mountain had been placed on his shoulders.
His gaze shifted to the battle zone in the canyon.
The various Domain Forces also felt the pressure from above. They all looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with terror.
As the giant hand continued to descend, the pressure intensified.
Faced with this life-or-death crisis, the Domain Forces' focus finally shifted away from the bloodstone.
With the barrier already formed, obtaining the bloodstone would be useless, as it could no longer be moved beyond the Domain Field. Survival had become the immediate priority.
At this life-or-death moment, the Spirit Energy Clan was the first to call for a united front against the super domain creature.
The various Domain Forces, who had been fiercely battling for the bloodstone just moments before, now heeded the call.
Meanwhile, Mu Qing gazed upward at the sky.
Unlike the terror gripping the hearts of the other Domain Forces, she felt an unusual calm. The pressure from the giant hand didn't oppress her at all. Instead, her blood quickened its flow, and her heart began to pound faster.
The sensation was peculiar.
It was like a famished beast encountering a long-lost, succulent prey.
The feedback from her bloodline made Mu Qing instinctively clench her fists and adopt a predatory stance.
Just then, the Spirit Energy Clan, together with the other Domain Forces, erected a defensive barrier. A blue light curtain shot skyward, transforming into an energy shield that enveloped them.
As the shield formed, the pressure on their bodies eased significantly.
Yet the bloodline-level oppression still made the Domain Forces' hearts race with fear. As they gazed at the sky, they had no confidence in their survival.
The giant hand began to descend faster.
The blue energy shield immediately came under increased pressure, and cracks appeared on its surface.
Just as the Domain Forces were preparing to answer the Spirit Energy Clan's call to action, positioning themselves at their nodes and increasing their energy output, the blue energy shield suddenly exploded. The resulting terrifying pressure caused all the domain creatures to sink to the ground.
This time, the blue energy shield was not destroyed by external pressure.
It was destroyed from within.
To the astonishment of all the Domain Forces, Mu Qing's figure appeared above.
The jade-colored mist around her body began to circulate at an accelerated pace. Hovering in the air, Mu Qing took a deep breath and then threw a punch with all her might.
In an instant, a violent gale erupted, and the terrifying force ripped sand and debris from the surrounding area, following the soaring jade-colored fist imprint as it collided with the sky.
Boom!
When the jade-colored fist imprint struck the giant hand, the very space seemed to tremble and shake.
Mu Qing's punch not only repelled the super domain creature's giant hand but also stunned all the Domain Forces.
The Domain Forces infiltrating the front-line battle groups were no strangers to Mu Qing. Like the Lord of the Mist, they closely monitored front-line news and information.
Mu Qing, who frequently made headlines, was a familiar figure to them.
Yet none of them had any way to gauge her true strength.
When they learned of her involvement in the joint operation, they dismissed it as insignificant.
Only the Lord of the Mist, who had actually clashed with her, understood the terrifying extent of her power and maintained constant vigilance against her.
Now they realized they had been wrong.
Mu Qing's combat prowess operated on a completely different level than theirs.
Suddenly, they understood why she had stood there, observing their mutual slaughter as if watching a clown show.
With her strength, she could have easily ended the protracted, bloody struggle for the bloodstone.
At that moment, Mu Qing struck again.
A dazzling radiance erupted around her. This time, her punches moved too swiftly for the naked eye to track, yet countless jade-colored fist shadows surged skyward in an instant.
The giant hand was repeatedly bombarded, sent flying backward with each impact.
A deafening roar erupted from the spatial rift in the sky, indicating the super domain creature's complete fury.
But Mu Qing remained fearless, directly confronting the threat posed by the super domain force behind the giant hand.
Her instincts told her that the seemingly terrifying super domain creature before her was merely long-awaited prey.
As Mu Qing clashed with the crimson giant hand, the Lord of the Mist below made his move.
Like the other domain life forms, it gazed upward at the sky.
But in secret, it used the essence blood it had absorbed to create an identical bloodstone. Then, with a subtle wave of its hand, it sent the stone toward a distant bloodstone.
Its blood control ability also affected the bloodstone.
The bloodstone slowly melted, transforming into a pool of blood that flowed toward the Lord of the Mist.
One of the characteristics of miracle items is their lack of aura.
The melting bloodstone went unnoticed by the nearby domain creatures, allowing the Lord of the Mist to swap it without detection.
After completing the exchange, it casually looked back at the sky.
Suddenly, it thought of Feng Qi and turned its gaze toward the distant figure.
Seeing that Feng Qi was also looking up at the sky, unharmed by the giant hand's pressure, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Qing's battle with the giant hand raged on for a long time.
In the heat of combat, she seized one of the giant hand's fingers, attempting to drag the entire super domain creature from the other side of the spatial rift.
However, the super domain creature on the other side of the rift seemed unable to pass through the narrow passage. Finally, under Mu Qing's terrifying great force, one of the creature's fingers was torn off.
Blood rained down from the sky.
From the Lord of the Mist's perspective, the blood falling from the sky was undoubtedly the most precious growth gift package.
Each drop of blood would significantly enhance his strength.
Ignoring the gazes of the domain creatures around him, he decisively used his consciousness to draw the blood from the sky toward himself.
As the blood entered his body, the surging, pure Qi and Blood Power caused the Lord of the Mist's hair to dance wildly.
In the blink of an eye, his skin burned red from the Qi and Blood Power.
During digestion, his body's response was overwhelmingly intense.
The Lord of the Mist's absorption of Qi and Blood Power was akin to a human savoring a delicacy.
After absorbing the blood of the super domain creature, he felt as if he were savoring an unparalleled delicacy he had never tasted before. Every cell in his body was awakened by this unprecedented flavor, and his body continuously sent waves of pleasure signals to his brain.
At that moment, the giant hand in the sky finally lost the will to continue fighting.
It slowly retreated, attempting to withdraw back into the spatial rift.
But Mu Qing showed no intention of letting it escape. She approached the spatial rift, enveloping the entire giant hand in a jade-colored mist. With a surge of power, she began to pull.
The struggle between the super domain creature and Mu Qing commenced.
Yet after only a few minutes, the roar of the super domain creature echoed through the sky once more.
Under the disbelieving gazes of the crowd below, Mu Qing forcibly tore off the giant hand of the super domain creature.
Blood rained down like raindrops.
Though tiny compared to the giant hand, Mu Qing appeared terrifying in the eyes of the onlookers.
The figure standing in mid-air, clutching the severed hand, was destined to become an indelible image in the memories of the domain creatures.
With the giant hand severed, the spatial rift snapped shut.
With the energy supply cut off, the barrier enveloping this world collapsed.
Without hesitation, the various Domain Forces chose to flee, abandoning the bloodstone.
Glancing at the giant hand, Mu Qing released her grip.
She harbored a deep hatred for domain creatures and had no reason to spare them.
However, since the Domain Forces were fleeing in all directions and she lacked the ability to create barriers, she could only selectively pursue them.
But before she could begin her pursuit, her figure slammed down before the bloodstone.
She had previously asked Feng Qi about the bloodstone's final destination, but he had offered no answer.
Now, she felt the bloodstone must have fallen into her hands.
After seizing the bloodstone, she turned her gaze toward the targets already marked by the Domain Forces and transformed into a streak of light, beginning her pursuit.
Meanwhile, the Lord of the Mist also made a swift escape.
Having already integrated the bloodstone into his body, he arrived before Feng Qi.
"Go! Hurry and leave!"
"You're leaving the bloodstone behind?" Feng Qi asked curiously.
"I switched it out. No one noticed. Let's get out of here."
Feng Qi was startled by these words.
Although he had witnessed the Sacrifice Line firsthand, even participating in the battle for the bloodstone, he had never learned its final fate until his death.
Now, hearing that the Lord of the Mist had obtained the bloodstone, he was immediately surprised.
He was even more unsure whether this was a normal historical event or a deviation caused by his own influence.
"Let's go. If Mu Qing catches up, we're both dead."
The Lord of the Mist transformed into gray mist, enveloping Feng Qi as they soared toward the Old Days Supply Zone.
As they flew, they began to ponder their future path.
"This operation has clearly exposed our identities and capabilities to all the Domain Forces. If we continue acting as Wang Yi, we'll face severe restrictions. I think we need to change our identities."
Feng Qi nodded immediately. "You're right, we need to change our identities. But first, I suggest we find a secluded place to focus on studying how to use the Miracle Bracelet and its functions. Then, you can use the miracle bloodstone to steadily increase your strength. After all, power is the key to shaping the future."
From within the gray mist, the Lord of the Mist replied:
"I feel the same way. Today's events have given me a real jolt. I need to get stronger as quickly as possible."
"Because of Mu Qing?"
"Her progress is far faster than I imagined. If I don't catch up soon, the gap between us will only widen."
"Who was it that boasted their innate talent crushed Mu Qing's? Looks like you've been slapped in the face."
"I said she'd never surpass me in the future, not now."
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately thought of Little Suction Cup from 1500 years later.
If "surpass me in the future" meant outliving everyone, then the Lord of the Mist had indeed crushed countless contemporary powerhouses, including Mu Qing.
During their casual conversation, Feng Qi subconsciously asked, "Old Mist, what's your next move after you finish your seclusion?"
This time, the Lord of the Mist pondered for a long time before answering, "How about... we go to Star City?"
Hearing this, Feng Qi realized the Lord of the Mist's plan to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Research Institute was finally about to unfold.
