Luo Bo, standing nearby, restrained him and said, "Don't worry. Lord Dragon God must have his reasons for doing this. If you interfere now, you'll only cause trouble for him!"
"But, the Boss is in danger!" Worry and anxiety were etched on Xiao Hu's face.
"I believe in Lord Dragon God!" Luo Bo stood firm, his voice steady as he spoke.
Chen Feng's face was pale within the domain, cold sweat pouring down his face.
The killing intent within the Mingyu Sword was overwhelmingly powerful. Previously, Chen Feng had used this murderous will to attack others, but now it was enveloping his own domain!
A Dou Zun's domain was essentially an external projection of their spirit; any damage inflicted upon it would naturally harm the self. This was why Ling Feng and Xia Liubin had fallen unconscious when their domains shattered.
The insane killing intent filled Chen Feng’s domain, meaning it was assaulting his spirit without respite. Such relentless aggression was almost impossible for him to withstand!
Instantly, his eyes turned crimson, like those of a murderous fiend.
"Aargh..."
Chen Feng roared, bringing both hands down in a chop. The muscles across his body swelled in a flash, and the energy within him suddenly surged several times over!
Qi Infusion!
This ability hadn't vanished after reaching the Dou Zun level.
However, Qi Infusion only boosted strength and speed; it offered no enhancement to his spirit. Consequently, the killing intent from the Mingyu Sword was already causing his will to blur, pushing him toward madness.
It seemed Chen Feng had still underestimated the might of the Mingyu Sword.
Then again, the Mingyu Sword was a divine artifact capable of slaying even a Ninth-Rank Archmage with a single strike. Chen Feng was merely a First-Rank Dou Zun. If the sword hadn't recognized him as its master, he would likely have been consumed by this intense killing intent long ago, reduced to an imbecile.
"Hold on, endure it!"
Chen Feng exhorted himself. Though his spirit experienced momentary confusion, a fierce will to survive kept a sliver of clarity intact.
The dark-red aura within the domain grew thicker and heavier, and the killing intent instantly reached an unprecedented peak.
"I will conquer this!" Chen Feng screamed internally. He felt a booming resonance in his mind, and the scene before him shifted, plunging him into a field of slaughter.
Endless piles of severed corpses and blood stretched to the horizon, while a chilling vortex swept around him, raising the hair on his neck.
"How did I get here? Where is this?" Chen Feng looked around, finding no living soul. The air was thick with a nauseating stench of gore.
For anyone else, witnessing such an Asura-like ground would have meant instant mental collapse. But Chen Feng, seasoned by countless battles and having spent over two years alongside the Mingyu Sword, felt no undue distress.
He had caught a fleeting glimpse of this place when drawing the sword from the Mingyu Pavilion, so seeing it again now carried a strange sense of familiarity.
"You killed my wife and child! I will make the entire world pay the price for it!" Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky. The surrounding clouds churned and gathered, converging with an immense pressure that made Chen Feng’s knees buckle, forcing him to the ground.
In an instant, a colossal demon god materialized before him, long red hair streaming down, eyes glowing with a bizarre, bloody light. He roared at Chen Feng, "Why is there still someone alive? I, the Mad Slaughter Demon God, will not permit a single soul to remain on this planet!"
With that, he raised his right hand, and a sword light that spanned heaven and earth, roaring like thunder, cleaved downward directly toward Chen Feng’s head!
"Mad Slaughter Demon God?" Chen Feng flinched, staring at the descending blade light, his whole body beginning to tremble.
Yes, tremble.
This beam of sword light was utterly beyond mortal evasion. Before the light even struck, Chen Feng felt an immense pressure pinning him down, utterly devoid of any power to resist.
It was only then that Chen Feng understood: this was the power of a God!
A God could destroy humanity entirely, not even needing to strike—a mere glance, a simple gesture, was enough.
A Dou Zun...
Even a Dou Sheng must be like an ant in the eyes of a God, capable of being annihilated by a casual movement.
"No, I cannot die!" Chen Feng stared at the descending sword light and suddenly roared, his body feeling as if it were about to ignite!
To kill or be killed—no one chooses the latter, even if the opponent is a God!
The pressure of this single strike ignited the latent ferocity and arrogance hidden within Chen Feng’s heart. So what if the opponent was a God? So what if he had slaughtered an entire planet? No matter how powerful, he would never willingly submit to execution!
A furious surge of consciousness shot out from Chen Feng’s body, meeting the descending, silvery torrent of sword light.
Chen Feng also sprang to his feet, letting out a fierce roar toward the sky!
"Boom..." The boundless sword light vanished instantly upon encountering this torrent of manic intent.
The Mad Slaughter Demon God in the sky paused his attack, staring down at Chen Feng with a smile forming on his lips.
"Not bad. To dare resist under pressure such as mine—truly commendable!" the Mad Slaughter Demon God's resonant voice echoed across the expanse.
The pressure subsided, and Chen Feng recovered from his frenzied state. The Demon God in his mind did not know what Chen Feng intended to do next.
"I originally grew up on this planet. I never expected these foolish humans to kill my wife and son, so in my rage, I wiped out everyone on this world," the Mad Slaughter Demon God stated calmly.
"Slaughtering an entire planet?" Chen Feng swallowed hard, astonishment spreading across his face.
Never mind other worlds, the continent he had transmigrated to alone held billions of inhabitants, with countless masters across the Four Great Empires. To kill every single one single-handedly—was this truly what a God could achieve?
No wonder the Mingyu Sword contained such intense killing intent; it was an amalgamation of the wills of every living being on an entire planet!
"Killing one person makes one a sinner; killing ten thousand makes one a general; killing a million makes one an emperor. Since I killed all living beings, I became a God!" The Mad Slaughter Demon God’s voice reverberated overhead.
His tone was matter-of-fact, yet an overpowering aura of slaughter permeated the space, instilling involuntary fear.
"I was born only to kill," the Mad Slaughter Demon God raised the treasured sword in his hand and roared to the heavens, "Therefore, I shall slay my way to the God Realm and expose the hypocrisy of those self-righteous main Gods!"
Chen Feng looked at the sword in his hand—it was the Mingyu Sword he currently possessed.
It seemed this Mad Slaughter Demon God had eventually fought his way to the God Realm, only to perish in the end. His sword, the Mingyu Sword, somehow ended up in the armory of Kota Town in the Loki Empire, eventually falling into Chen Feng’s hands.
After roaring skyward for a time, the Mad Slaughter Demon God regained his composure and focused on Chen Feng below. "You are exceptional, worthy of receiving my Heart of Mad Slaughter. This Heart of Mad Slaughter is now entirely yours to control, completely yours. Treat it well; this is the divine artifact I forged after slaughtering every soul on this planet!"
With that, the Mad Slaughter Demon God hurled the giant sword down. As it fell, the sword gradually shrank, returning to normal size by the time it reached Chen Feng.
Chen Feng caught the sword, and his mind boomed once more. When he opened his eyes, he found himself back within his own domain.
Before him remained the dark-red killing intent, but this time, none of it attacked him. Instead, it slowly began to merge with his domain.
The original purple domain of Boundless Fire, upon integration with the dark-red killing intent, transformed into a purplish-red hue, swirling around him in concentric rings.
Closing his eyes and sensing the fusion of the two energies, Chen Feng experienced a sudden enlightenment.
He had believed he had completely refined the Mingyu Sword before, but that was far from the truth. Previously, he had only grasped the method of using the sword; now, it had truly become something he could control.
With a beckoning gesture, the Mingyu Sword hovering in the domain flew into Chen Feng’s hand. He flicked the blade, and with a sharp snap, the divine artifact broke cleanly in two!
"Just as I suspected. Without the killing intent to sustain it, this blade is probably worse than a High-Grade Mortal Artifact. For the Mad Slaughter Demon God to refine such a sword into a divine artifact—the power of a God is truly beyond ordinary comprehension!"
Floating quietly in the air, seeing the domain perfectly align with the killing intent, Chen Feng willed a thought. An image of a dark-red sword shadow instantly materialized in the domain’s air—this was the so-called Heart of Mad Slaughter.
The moment the Heart of Mad Slaughter rested in his grasp, Chen Feng understood what it was: the Heart of Mad Slaughter was, in essence, the Sword Soul of the Mingyu Sword!
A Sword Soul composed entirely of killing!
Having mastered the Sword Soul, the requirement for the physical blade diminished. Therefore, Chen Feng discarded the body of the Mingyu Sword and used his domain to refine the Sword Soul.
"Now that I fully command the killing intent of the Mingyu Sword, my domain has fused with this will. Just how powerful will my domain be now? I am truly eager to find out!" Chen Feng retracted his domain and simultaneously returned the Hou: Bow to his flask.
Refining the Mingyu Sword had left him utterly exhausted, his limbs weak, without the strength to refine anything else.
He slowly descended to the ground and saw the anxious figures of Xiao Hu and Luo Bo.
"Boss, are you alright? Your face is so pale. What were you doing just now?" Xiao Hu asked anxiously.
Almost no energy had leaked from the domain, so although the two watched from the side, they couldn't discern exactly what had transpired.
"I'm fine, just need to rest a bit!" Chen Feng said. He took a few steps forward, but before reaching the cave entrance, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he immediately collapsed.
Fighting that torrent of killing intent for so long would exhaust even an iron man, let alone Chen Feng.
But this exhaustion had clearly brought a massive reward. Chen Feng might not know it, but the domain he had just refined would later become the Infinite Slaughter Domain, a name that would cause fear and awe for ages to come!
