A gray, dim space centered on Shi Feng expanded outward to a full thousand-yard radius. The violent surges of mana churning within that space were so intense that even ordinary players could feel them clearly.
The oppressive pressure emanating from within was like the end of the world—the sky and earth seemed to shift color, and a wild wind howled through the arena. Even the spectators in the stands found themselves swallowing hard, their eyes filled with horror and dread.
"How can a magic domain possibly be this powerful?"
"Even the magic domains of those upper-tier legendary monsters probably aren't this strong!"
"Even the high-grade magic barrier shattered—doesn't a magic domain rank below a barrier?"
Plenty of factions in the VIP viewing rooms knew what a magic domain was—some had even experienced one firsthand. But the magic domain Shi Feng had unleashed before their eyes was nothing like any they had ever seen. It was a completely different beast.
"Is this… his magic domain?"
Mu Xin stared at Shi Feng from nearby, her mind going blank. The way she looked at him, it was as though she were seeing him for the very first time.
She had already heard from their informants that Shi Feng's magic domain was formidable. But what she was witnessing now went far beyond "formidable." It was an anomaly—a space that had essentially become its own self-contained world, where everything within was under Shi Feng's absolute control.
Any Tier 3 expert trapped inside would be nothing more than an ant!
Baosha, hovering in midair, stared at the staggering magic domain in disbelief.
"Can a player's magic domain really reach this level?" He felt the powerful repulsive force pressing in from every direction, and doubt flooded his mind.
Shi Feng's magic domain was far superior to those of even upper-tier legendary monsters. Even in his half-dragon form, possessing Tier 4 physique and Tier 4 attributes, he still felt a significant suppression on his movements.
His stats had dropped by roughly twenty percent, and both his reaction speed and movement speed had fallen by about thirty percent. He could barely maintain himself at the Tier 4 baseline.
"Then let's get started."
Shi Feng glanced at Lina and the others suspended in midair, drew the Abyssal in one fluid motion, and took a single step forward—vanishing from where he stood.
"Where'd he go?"
The Frost Heaven's Sword members on the field watched Shi Feng disappear from their field of view and stared in utter bewilderment.
"He's gone?"
It wasn't just the Frost Heaven's Sword members who were stunned. The entire crowd in the stands had frozen.
A living person had simply vanished from their god's-eye view.
But before anyone could react, a deafening boom rang out from overhead.
BOOM!
A dark shadow slammed into the ground with devastating force. The earth cracked apart in every direction, the fractures spreading out to twenty yards. A terrifying shockwave nearly sent the nearby Frost Heaven's Sword members tumbling…
"What the hell just happened?"
Everyone gaped at the figure that had crashed to the ground, their eyes wide with disbelief.
At some point, Black Flame had already appeared right in the middle of the half-dragon squad, his long sword dripping with crimson blood.
And the one who had been sent crashing to the ground was a half-dragon warrior. A deep gash—visible all the way to the bone—had been carved into his chain armor, and his health bar had plummeted by a full one-eighth.
The speed of that attack was simply unheard of!
But while the battlefield was thick with shock and astonishment, the Illusory Myth members watching from a distance wore dark expressions, confusion flickering in their eyes. Especially Baosha, who was staring down at Shi Feng from midair with an intense, unblinking gaze.
"After transforming into a half-dragon with the war formation's boost, even getting hit by a Tier 4 legendary monster's attack only costs two or three percent of our HP. How can Black Flame's power possibly be this high?" Baosha's blood-red eyes burned with deep wariness.
They were all genuine Tier 4 combatants. And yet even at that level, they were still outclassed by Shi Feng. He could barely imagine just how powerful Shi Feng had truly become.
"Truly impressive—the half-dragon bloodline, combined with the advanced war formation's support. One-shotting them really isn't easy." Shi Feng glanced at the half-dragon warrior on the ground, mildly surprised himself.
He hadn't used any magic skills for that strike. But he had wielded a fragment of a legendary-grade item and carried several more such fragments on his person. In terms of raw power alone, he was not far behind an upper-tier legendary monster of the same level.
That was precisely why he could effortlessly one-shot Tier 3 players.
But even with all of that, a single sword strike had only removed one-eighth of the half-dragon's health. Their defensive power was staggering—rivaling that of upper-tier legendary monsters.
"Nobody engage him in prolonged combat! His stats and speed are both superior to ours! In this arena, all we need to do is drain his stamina and mental energy!" Lina appeared completely unfazed by what had just happened. She watched Shi Feng with a calm, calculating gaze and barked out her commands. "Healers, keep your distance. Jake, you—go all out to protect the healers. As long as the fight drags on long enough, he's bound to break!"
"Understood!"
