1474 Unparalleled Dominance

After witnessing Yuan's overwhelming prowess, the Fiery Locust Swarm players subconsciously started taking steps backward, almost as though they were unwilling to confront him.

Seeing this, Xu Boqin angrily roared at them, "What the fuck are you guys doing?! He must've consumed most, if not all, of his energy with that one attack just now! There is nothing to fear! We still overwhelmingly outnumber him!"

After hearing his words, the players stopped moving back, which made sense. After all, there was no way a mere Spirit Grandmaster would have enough spiritual energy to repeat such a powerful technique.

They clenched tightly onto their weapons and advanced toward Yuan, who casually hovered in the air.

Xu Boqin pointed his weapon at Yuan and shouted, "Come down and fight us if you dare!"

Yuan smiled and descended to the ground.

"I was going to do that even without your yapping. After all, how else am I going to beat you all?"

He tossed the zither in his hands to Wang Bingbing, who swiftly caught it.

Then, wielding a sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left, Yuan approached the nearest player.

"Ahhhh!"

Seeing Yuan approaching him, the player immediately released a war cry before swinging his weapon.

Yuan countered with his dagger, blocking the attack. Then, using his sword, disarmed the player.

After disarming the player, Yuan started smacking him in the face with the sword until both of his cheeks were swollen, destroying his badge half a second later.

This happened in less than three seconds, leaving the player confused and baffled.

However, Yuan did not stop after eliminating the player and immediately moved to the next one.

The players tried to fight back, but none of them were able to block his attacks, much less land a hit on him.

In less than a minute, Yuan eliminated over 20 players, none of whom left the battlefield without being badly beaten.

"W-why are you fighting him one at a time?! Surround him and attack him together!" Xu Boqin instructed.

The players followed his instructions and quickly surrounded Yuan before attacking him together from all directions.

However, no matter how many people attacked him at once, Yuan flawlessly blocked their attack, even striking back. The players felt like they were fighting someone with more than two arms.

Xu Boqin would occasionally send a few Spirit Masters into the fray to catch him by surprise, but this was completely ineffective. It was almost as if Spirit Masters were not different from Spirit Apprentices in his eyes.

"Let's speed this up a little, shall we?"

Yuan suddenly tossed his dagger into the air, and in the blink of an eye, it duplicated until a thousand flying daggers were in the sky.

"Wha—?!"

Before the players could even react, the daggers rained down upon them, smacking them in the faces and stabbing their bodies.

The players desperately tried to defend themselves, but they were simply powerless.

In the blink of an eye, the Fiery Locust Swarm had dropped to 20,000 members.

"Fuck! How is he still fighting like this?! He should've exhausted his spiritual energy long ago!" Xu Boqin anxiously gritted his teeth.

Sometime later, he commanded 100 Spirit Masters and 3 Spirit Grandmasters to run past Yuan and target the Demon Sealing Faction's ruler.

"Even if you capture their ruler, don't take their life yet!" he said to them.

"Yes!"

These players ignored the battle between Yuan and the other players, running past him.

However, right as they reached the sword mark, they sensed a cold gaze bearing down on them, sending chills throughout their entire body.

"I thought I said nobody would make it past the line?" Yuan's voice resounded, followed by an unfathomable pressure that restricted all of their movements.

"Heavenly Domain."

Upon Heavenly Domain's activation, all the players on the field felt as though their bodies were being restricted in invisible chains. It did not matter whether they were Spirit Apprentices or a Spirit Lord like Xu Boqin, none of them could lift a single finger within the Heavenly Domain.

"W-what is happening on the battlefield?! Why did everyone's movement suddenly halt?! It's as if they're all frozen in time! What a phenomenon!" Yan Xiaoxiao expressed bewilderment after witnessing the scene.

"Wait a moment! I take back my words just a second ago! It appears that everyone but Player Yuan is frozen! This must be his doing! What kind of technique did he use to stop their movements?!"

The judges who evaluated him felt their souls leaving their bodies after witnessing this.

"He could completely restrict the movements of 20,000 people with that technique?! That's totally cheating!"

"He purposefully misled us during the evaluation again!"

They had experienced Heavenly Domain firsthand during the evaluation, but their movements were not completely stripped away; they were only made sluggish.

Meanwhile, while the entire battlefield was frozen in time, Yuan casually walked out of his encirclement and approached the players who tried to get past the sword mark, each of his steps calm and steady, almost as though he had all the time in the world.

"Heavens! It's like he's taking a stroll in the park! What is he planning on doing next?!" Yan Xiaoxiao's voice shivered from anticipation.

As Yuan approached the group of players behind the sword mark, he raised his sword in a batting motion before striking them in the stomach with swift, precise blows, sending them hurtling back to Xu Boqin's side like mere insects swatted away.

He continued to do this for the next several minutes until all of those players were back right where they started.

Afterward, he walked right back into the encirclement and released the Heavenly Domain, allowing them to move again.

"Let's continue, shall we?" Yuan beckoned the dazed players surrounding him.

Yet, none of them dared to move.

His recent actions rendered not only the players but also the entire audience speechless, stunned by the display of his unparalleled power and dominance.
