Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

In an instant's exchange, the twenty soldiers scattered again, warily circling the dark cyan demon.

On the demon's body, wounds entwined by black flames briefly flickered before they completely healed.

Every soldier watched this scene in shock.

The wounds they had inflicted were shallow, to begin with; were they really recovering in an instant?

The dark cyan demon glanced at the soldier he had first hit with a heavy punch.

There was now a slight dent on the chest of the soldier's white armor.

"Don't worry."

The captain among the twenty soldiers immediately transmitted via telekinesis, "Although this Black Flame Clan member is stronger than reported, we don't need to kill him. Just force him to continue using Black Flame Burning, and he will soon self-destruct. According to intelligence analysis, he should already be nearly out of life. With domain suppression, he can't possibly escape. Just drain him to death!"

Under the murky Light Domain, figures that seemed like the grim reaper in white flickered back toward the dark cyan demon.

...

Ten kilometers away.

Lin Qing leaned against a colossal platinum statue of a god, slightly frowning, "These Original Life forces from the Intelligent Star Group, without even the basics of a Divine Position, are of average strength, yet are quite troublesome?"

These soldiers in white armor were merely ordinary Original Life beings, not much stronger than an Inspector.

In a one-on-one fight, Black Flame could definitely take them down with one punch.

But when that strange white armor was combined with the amplification of the Domain, the strength of these soldiers increased greatly, especially the Protection Field on the armor, which also received a significant boost from the Domain.

Even the explosive power of Black Flame, hindered by Domain restrictions and buffered by the Protection Field, couldn't directly break through the armor made from at least Third Rank alloys.

Even a Second Rank alloy mixed with a hint of Third Rank required an Inspector to use full strength to break through.

The durability of armor made entirely from Third Rank alloy could well be imagined.

"The main problem is the Domain..."

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

The most special aspect of an Original Life being, besides the Life Level, was the Domain; it could greatly amplify oneself and restrict the enemy.

Despite Black Flame being an Awakened Being with astonishing strength, the Domain restriction could only reduce his abilities by twenty to thirty percent. But as the enemy gained amplification from the Domain, their overall improvement was immense.

"In that case..."

Lin Qing suddenly lifted his head.

The next moment—

"Boom!"

An invisible fluctuation suddenly spread, instantly turning into a hazy cyan-colored Light Domain ten kilometers away, completely enveloping the battlefield.

...

"Huh?"

With the sudden emergence of a hazy Light Domain, the twenty soldiers instantly felt not only their own Domains canceled out but also a tremendous Domain oppression continuously binding them!

At the same time, invisible forces converged upon the dark cyan demon's body, instantly making its presence even more terrifying!

"Die!"

Seizing the opportunity, the dark cyan demon landed a heavy punch on the head of one of the soldiers!

"Bang!!"

This time, with the Protection Field no longer amplified by the Domain, it weakened significantly and could not deflect the punch or diminish much of the force and Dark Energy. Even the Third Rank alloy armor immediately caved in deeply!

Furthermore, the blunt force trauma from the punch also caused the head beneath the armor to burst on the spot, killing the soldier!

"Damn it..."

"Ralph Lauren!"

"Where did this powerful Domain come from?"

"The intelligence on the Black Flame Clan didn't mention any Domain!"

"Could it be... someone is using a Domain remotely to help him?"

"Their will, or perhaps consciousness is much stronger than ours!"

The soldiers were both shocked and angered.

They thought they had the battle well in hand, just needing to wear down this dark cyan demon to win.

But unexpectedly, the Domain that appeared was so strong, not only amplifying the Black Flame Clan member but also easily suppressing their own Domains!

The Domain is the extension of one's will, influencing the Loose Energy in the surrounding area through one's consciousness.

Consciousness can't be unified, and multiple consciousnesses influencing the Loose Energy in the same area lead to even more Chaos and disorder, nullifying any combined effect.

Whoever has a stronger consciousness influences more energy, and naturally, their Domain becomes more powerful.

With a stronger will, the Free Energy within the Domain becomes more unified and orderly!

In theory, if one's consciousness and will are strong enough, they can fully utilize the Loose Energy within their Domain to the utmost, causing other Domains to dissipate!

And now, these soldiers felt their Domains had not disappeared, but their influence over the surrounding Original Energy had lessened to the point that it was instantly negated.

This indicated that the enemy's consciousness and will were stronger than theirs!

"Bang!!"

In the murky Light Domain, the dark cyan demon burning with Black Flame moved with astonishing Speed, appearing before a soldier and once again exploding their head with a punch!

This powerful Domain was also strenuously restricting their movements!

Their main advantage had been the Domain; now without it, it turned into a disadvantage—they were overwhelmingly outmatched.

Even escaping was not an option!

Under the pressure of the Domain, their Speed was greatly reduced, and they had nowhere to run!

In this high-gravity environment, with their Speed, to break through this Domain of an unknown extent would take at least a dozen seconds!

A dozen seconds?
