Hu and Luobo had just been sent by Feng to guard the sky. Little Hu was idle and darted about everywhere. At this moment, a cry of alarm made Chen Feng jump in fright.

Turning his head, he saw Little Feng rushing over like the wind, anxiously saying, "Boss, this is bad! A dark-faced, burly man is coming over."

"A burly man?" Chen Feng asked, "What level?"

"I can't tell, but it seems... similar to these three old guys. Should be a Dou Sheng level!" Little Hu said anxiously.

"Dou Sheng? How can there be so many Dou Shengs?" Chen Feng was so surprised he almost shouted out loud.

Just as he was about to ask clearly, he heard a maniacal laugh not far ahead. A burly man over two meters tall materialized directly from the sky. It was Kozmo, the Vice-Lord of the mysterious power!

Kozmo’s robust body circled in the air, laughing loudly, "I didn't expect everyone to be here! Saves me the trouble."

The three elders of Tianfeng Academy, upon seeing Kozmo appear, immediately replaced their expressions with solemnity. The elder in the middle said in a deep voice, "Judging by your attire, you must be from the Overseas Continent. May I ask the purpose of your visit?"

"Overseas Continent?" Chen Feng's heart sank. He had once impersonated someone from the Overseas Continent in the Luoqi Empire. That had saved him a lot of trouble. Now that a real person from the Overseas Continent had arrived, his heart was filled with curiosity.

Although he couldn't sense the opponent's cultivation, the cautious attitude of the three elders indicated that this burly man must have a higher cultivation than all three of them.

"What, one Intermediate Saint Domain and two Low Saint Domain? Are you trying to question me?" Kozmo immediately stated the cultivation levels of the three elders.

The middle elder's face darkened. Since he couldn't discern the opponent's strength, it meant the opponent possessed at least High Saint Domain strength. High Saint Domain strength could easily kill the three of them.

So, his tone softened, "We certainly dare not question you. The Overseas Continent rarely interacts with us. We wonder about the purpose of your visit this time?"

"I want an item. An item you all naturally know about. Hand it over quickly, or don't blame me for taking action myself!" Kozmo spoke arrogantly.

However, his strength was undeniable, giving him the capital for his arrogance. The three elders exchanged glances, hesitating in their hearts.

The middle elder suddenly said, "150 years ago, the ancestors of our clan had an agreement with your predecessors. Therefore... since the person from your clan has defeated our current Dean, we have given the item to her. If you want it, you should ask the Feng Clan!"

After speaking, the elder casually tossed an object down to Ling Feng below.

This fellow clearly saw that he was no match for this person and shifted the responsibility onto the Phoenix Clan. It seemed that being old and cunning was indeed well-deserved.

Ling Feng had long noticed the argument in the sky. When the elder threw the item down, she naturally caught it. Although she knew the elder was trying to frame her, the clan regulations required her to bring the item back. Failure to do so would result in severe punishment. Thus, she had no choice but to secure the item on her person.

"It seems you are quite responsive!" Kozmo laughed looking at the elder. He turned to Ling Feng and said, "Little girl, hand over the item to me, lest I have to use force!"

"I will not give it to you. This is something left by our Phoenix Clan ancestors," Ling Feng said slowly, beginning to float upwards.

If she failed to obtain this item, the punishment awaiting her back in the Phoenix Clan would be crueler than death. It would be better to guard the item and die. Moreover, if she transformed into her true form and escaped, there might still be a glimmer of life. In an instant, Ling Feng had weighed the pros and cons in her mind.

Kozmo hadn't expected Ling Feng to refuse him. He paused for a moment but then laughed, "A spirited girl. Even if your elders were here, they would inevitably have to hand the item over to me!"

Ling Feng did not reply. She unleashed her domain and began to release the Qi surging through her body, turning to flee into the distance.

"Trying to run?" Kozmo was delighted rather than surprised. With a flicker of his body, he suddenly appeared where Ling Feng was fleeing, extending a large hand forward. A barrier of Qi immediately materialized in the sky, instantly enveloping Ling Feng in the middle.

"Break..." Two wings shaped like flames suddenly burst from Ling Feng's back. With a sharp cry, an incomparably powerful force impacted the Qi shield above.

Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens!

Ling Feng hadn't held back from the start, unleashing her most formidable attack.

Kozmo chuckled, clenching his right hand. As if sensing it, the energy in the sky instantly condensed, enveloping the two fiery wings at its core.

"..." A muffled sound echoed. The fiery red wings exploded within the energy shield. The powerful Heaven-rank Dou Skill, Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens, failed to break through the opponent's energy shield!

"What a powerful energy shield. Is this how a Saint Domain controls the elemental forces of heaven?"

After Kozmo moved forward, his outstretched hand seemed to control all the magic elements in that space, preventing Ling Feng's domain power from functioning. If they were to fight, let alone injure him, she probably couldn't even approach him.

The strength of the Saint Domain was truly formidable!

Kozmo casually summoned another Qi shield, trapping Ling Feng in the center, and chuckled, turning to Chen Feng, "Little friend, it's your turn!"

"Me?" Chen Feng paused.

He hadn't interacted with anyone of this caliber before. Why would he capture him?

Kozmo smiled, "No need to think. The Lord ordered me to capture you and bring you back!" With that, he stretched out a large hand, and an invisible spatial pressure surged from all directions.

Chen Feng hurriedly flashed backward, instantly unfolding his Endless Slaughter Domain. Fierce flames burned ceaselessly in the air, reflecting the sky in shades of purple and red.

However, the surrounding spatial pressure was too immense. Even Ling Feng, who could battle a Nine-star Magus, couldn't withstand it. Chen Feng found himself unable to resist. His domain was gradually compressed, slowly closing in on him.

"Don't harm the Master (our Boss)!" Luobo and Little Hu roared simultaneously and charged forward. Luobo instantly formed a powerful Level Nine single-target spell at his fingertips, shooting it toward Kozmo.

Little Hu shot out a strong arrow from his hand!

"Petty tricks!" Kozmo sneered, lightly tapping twice in the air with both hands. The powerful magic formed by the two scattered like wind in an instant!

A Saint Domain level being could manipulate the surrounding energy without relying on a domain. Except for Forbidden Curses, even a Level Nine spell was like child's play before him!

A sharp dragon's roar suddenly rang out. In desperation, Luobo instantly transformed into his true form—a colossal dragon dozens of meters long.

The Dragon Clan could only unleash their full power by transforming into their true forms.

Little Hu was not to be outdone. With a roar, he transformed into an Iron-backed Silver Tiger.

The dragon and the tiger surrounded Kozmo in a pincer movement.

"Dragon Clan? Iron-backed Silver Tiger?" Kozmo's face showed surprise, but it was quickly replaced by scorn, "So what if you are the Dragon Clan? The Purple Garden Magic Territory, one of the three great powers of our Overseas Continent, is not afraid!"

As he spoke, waves of ripples spread across his body. Interfering with these ripples, a magical vacuum zone instantly appeared within a radius of about a mile!

He was using his immense power to forcibly siphon away all the magic elements within a mile radius!

The principle of magic is that the caster uses the magic power within their body to draw upon the magic elements in the air, forming various attacks. Now that there were no magic elements in the air, if Luobo and Little Hu wanted to attack, they could only rely on the magic power stored in their bodies!

Magic power could mobilize the magic elements between heaven and earth to unleash the greatest attack power; it could naturally also be used alone.

However, using it this way caused extreme damage to the body, and the power of the released magic was not as strong as utilizing magic power to summon the elements of heaven and earth.

After all, magic power was a tool to borrow the heavenly elements, not a direct means of attack.

Unable to use magic elements, Luobo and Little Hu were like a dragon without wings, a tiger without teeth. How could they stop the opponent?

Trapped in the Qi shield, Chen Feng felt the surrounding pressure increasing, and the range of his domain control was narrowing. The powerful force made sweat bead on his forehead.

"Ah..." he roared, and the power surging through his body instantly increased several times. His muscles rapidly expanded and swelled like overinflated balloons.

Qi Surge!

The domain began to expand at the moment of the Qi Surge, slowing the contraction of the Qi shield slightly.

Chen Feng dared not hesitate now. Raising his left hand and extending his right, the absolute domain power within him surged forward violently. A blinding white light flashed across the sky!

"Eighteen Serpent Forms of Destruction, Absolute Domain 100%!"

After ascending to Dou Zun, Chen Feng could unleash 100% of his Absolute Domain power under the Qi Surge state.

The serpent, imbued with 100% of the Absolute Domain's power, coiled around him like a massive fire dragon. The fire dragon circled once within the domain and immediately roared toward the compressing external Qi wall!

"Rumble..." A muffled sound echoed in the sky. The heavens seemed to have exploded with an atomic bomb. A blinding light formed between the fire dragon and the Qi shield. The intensely scorching air current formed a massive mushroom cloud in the sky.

Impacted by the shockwave, all buildings within 500 meters below them were razed to the ground, and all academy members below the Dou Shi level perished instantly!

"Pfft..." Chen Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. The residual effects of the explosion between the serpent and the Qi shield had still injured him!

However, the Qi shield surrounding his body was also shattered by this powerful attack.

"Not bad, quite interesting," Kozmo exclaimed, surprised that Chen Feng could shatter his Qi shield.

Although the power used to cast the Qi shield on Chen Feng was far less than the one cast on Ling Feng, a first-stage Dou Zun managing to break free from a shield that even an ordinary sixth-stage Dou Zun couldn't escape was enough to earn his respect.

p: I have a terrible headache today. I sat in front of the computer this afternoon and threw up... and then fainted. I've had physical problems twice in less than two months. I forced myself to type out this chapter. If my estimate is correct, there won't be another update tonight. Everyone, please don't wait up. My apologies...
