Chapter 968: SCR Summit,Elemental Suppression of the Aegis

The Lesser Starlord entity waited for no sign of initiation. Like the rest, it directly acted by controlling the scene, unfurling its blazing red Worldly Domain without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the entire stage was enveloped by a terrifying World Pressure! Accompanying this Worldly Domain was high, devastatingly melting levels of heat!

13,000 Kilometers!

Lin Ming's reaction wasn't slow despite the confusing existence of the voice inside his head, feeling a sensation of deadly crisis overwhelm his thoughts. As such, he instinctively tapped into his Domain Seed's power, invoking his False Worldly Domain! With World Power erupting from his pupils, he took the inspired defensive method of Su Mei, World Armor, and applied it to himself.

With shocking surprise, the repeated eruption force of his unleashed False Worldly Domain was enough to block the entity's World Power! The observers all opened their eyes in surprise, having expected a splash of crushed flesh, bones, and sprayed blood. Instead, they were welcomed by a resilient young man standing with a white spear in hand.

Unlike the Ever-Domain Pill, Lin Ming gained his Domain Seed through the method of the Engorging Foundation Evil Method, allowing his Domain Seed to undergo a careful and unique series of improvements through personal refinements, increasing its power and mastery. This was what set Lin Ming's Worldly Domain apart from the Ever-Domain Pill's external Domain Seed.

The others were unaware that Lin Ming's process of formation was extremely similar to Wei Wuyin's Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill! In fact, without it, the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill would not exist. While it lacked the initial soul connection as Wei Wuyin's Worldly Domain, it had the 'potential' to reach that level!

And through these years of training, blood, sweat, tears, struggles, and fights, Lin Ming had refined out the three foreign soul auras, replacing them with his own, and possessed a higher degree of control. With this Domain Seed, he was barely inferior to a genuine Worldly Domain.

The Heavenly Daos' Karmic Surge did not simply end with his Archaic Chosen status by an exemption in the trial, but by many connected events that lay a path using this initial opportunity.

"He defended!" An expert commented in shock.

"But for how long? A few seconds? And so what? When the Entity takes action, he'll be obliterated in a single move! After all, he's just a Gravity Emission Phase expert." The sounds of denouncing discussions had already begun at high-speed spiritual exchanges.

Lin Xianxei was so tense that her nails stabbed into her fist, almost drawing out blood. Those golden-colored eyes of hers that could beguile the spirit and mind were all focused solely on the lone figure on the stage, accepting an impossible challenge, revealing unyielding pride and self-confidence.

Can he do it?

Or will he…die?

Lin Ming could feel the focus on his body, but he actively ignored them all as he faced the strongest enemy in his lifetime. Throughout his years in the True Element Sect, he faced countless challenges, even fighting against Timelords, but a Starlord was an existence that he had only been able to look up to, unable to match their starforce and tremendous power.

Fortunately, this Starlord wasn't genuine.

"Don't worry; this incarnation lacks an Astral Physique, and its energies aren't very cohesive. I will assist, even out the playing field for you," the voice said as Lin Ming was pressured by the searing heat and World Pressure from all directions.

Lin Ming's forehead was sweating, including his hands, chest, and armpits. He was startled at how hot it became. While he could resist the World Pressure of the Worldly Domain for a brief spell, he found that the fire energies it converted into its strength were seeping through his defenses. It was swiftly infusing into his body like an infectious mist, raising his body temperature to over 2,000°C.

If it wasn't for Lin Ming's refined body infused with Elemental Origin Energies, possessing Magma and Fire Energies, he would be suffering extreme physical difficulties, perhaps even signs of melting. The spike in temperature was deadly, even for cultivators. Moreover, it was continuing to rise!

With a series of heavy breaths, he circulated his Elemental Ice Force and established an ice-attributed astral ward in an attempt to regulate his body temperature, generating steam from his body that flooded the area. However, his elemental ice force was unable to expel the heat, only delaying its rise. In a fragment of a second, he found his temperature had leaped another thousand degrees.

"The Entity is going to melt him!" Those with keen eyes realized the Entity was using strange wisps of fire energies to bypass Lin Ming's World Armor. These wisps began to enter his body. It was a Fire-Attributed Astral Art!

This was the first time that an Entity started out using their Worldly Domain alongside an Astral Art. When they saw this, their eyes widened. The Entity's approach was changing! They were adapting to World Armors! This added layer of difficulty was geared towards this new division of standards between both pills.

While Lin Ming's Domain Seed could generate sufficient World Power to resist the Entity's World Pressure, the False Worldly Domain of his was unable to defend against their starforce and various powers! It simply wasn't strong enough!

Without taking a single step forward, if this continued, Lin Ming would certainly end up melting!

Finally, the voice took action! The nine-colored Aegis of the Elements at Lin Ming's glabella began to release a red light. The incoming fire energies vested with fire force changed on a fundamental level, as if ordered by their monarch, and began to flow towards the nine-colored dot in a subdued manner. In the blink of a mortal's eye, Lin Ming's body temperature was lowered considerably and all the approaching fire-attributed astral force was sucked away into the nine-colored dot.

"Ah?" Lin Ming was startled by the Aegis of the Elements' domineering power. He didn't know that it could absorb fire force in such an overbearing manner. As for the engulfing World Pressure, it began to place less strain on his World Armor, weakened by auric power emanating from the nine-colored dot. While it seemed that Lin Ming could perfectly resist like the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill's Domain Seed, this resistance or those who took the pill wasn't unlimited, but contingent on a time-limit. The strain on the Domain Seed was extremely high, threatening to shatter his Worldly Domain entirely should he resist without any change.

"Kid, just fight. As long as the enemy is an Elemental Cultivator, it's forced to bow its head before me. Have no fear," the voice urged. Lin Ming still had his doubts regarding the voice, but he decided to capitalize on this moment. If he didn't, he would be forced to surrender. With a flourish of his Origin Spear, he stomped his right foot and explosively shot towards the Entity!

BOOM!

Lin Ming was like a gust of thunderous wind. The stage rippled from his power! He knew that he would only have one chance. Whether it was his energy reserves or his cultivation foundation, it was unlikely that he could match this Entity in any extended battle. He had to finish this in a single exchange, capitalizing on the suppression the voice was unleashing.

Wu Baozhai and Xue Yifei had the right idea! He took from previous victors the key to success, knowing that if he shifted tactics, the chances of his success would decrease to an all-time low, if not become impossible.

"Good!" The voice resounded with resounding approval. This inspired somehow caused Lin Ming to feel inspired by his choice.

A single move. That was the right approach, and Lin Ming gathered his Elemental Origin Force as his eyes misted over with a whiteness—Elemental Origin Intent! He originally hadn't intended to use the Worldly Domain's conversion power to amplify his strength, contesting the Entity for control and exhausting his power in a futile struggle, but the Aegis of the Elements released a nine-colored glow alongside his utilization of Elemental Origin Intent!

The nine colors blended into a single color—white! Then, a spiritual manifestation emerged above him. It was a white-colored Solar Star that contained the radiance of elemental light!

It washed the entire stage in its light. Suddenly, the ambient elemental energies of the stage were seized under Lin Ming's will, infused with his Elemental Origin Intent, and with ease, he could gather their strength towards him. The ambient energies on stage were not insignificant, containing astral-graded energies of all nine elements equally.

Originally, this was meant to remove make the battlefield as fair as possible for all elemental cultivators, but with Elemental Origin Intent, all nine energies were controlled by Lin Ming! The energies 'converted' into the Entity's strength by its Worldly Domain betrayed its owner as if planned.

The Worldly Domain of the Entity began to become shaky and unstable. From every inch of the Worldly Domain, energies of all nine elements roared to life, fighting against its World Pressure! Instantly, Lin Ming felt as if the World Pressure of the Entity vanished.

Shocked, Lin Ming didn't dare to let this opportunity go as the Entity was trying to adjust. If it didn't handle this, its Worldly Domain could shatter! He stomped once again, executing his movement art to its limits!

In the blink of a mortal's eye, he traversed the vast distance between the two, arriving a few hundred meters away from the Lesser Starlord Entity! However, it was still a Starlord! While its Worldly Domain was in chaos as the world's elemental energies rebelled, it still possessed terrifying spiritual force!

Its eyes unleashed a spell that manifested as a gushing maelstrom of spiritual flames, enveloping Lin Ming's figure in an instant. Half the stage was inundated in these light red flames!

"...!" Lin Xianxei and Bai Yuxi's hearts simultaneously skipped a beat.
