Chapter 1743: Chapter 38: Nowhere to Hide (Part 2)

But she immediately thought of Zhang Xiaoman’s terrifying breakthrough speed, and a sense of realization quietly emerged in her heart. Perhaps compared to them, she indeed seemed to lack something.

...

Meanwhile, on the Moon.

Zhang Xiaoman transformed into a streak of light, appearing in less than a second at a location over 300,000 kilometers away from Water Blue Star.

This is Dark Speed. With his current strength, he can easily utilize this First Stage Dark Speed.

On a smooth surface, hiding tensely in the shadow of a tiny rock particle, was the Shadow Demon King Nevemore.

"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! He knows I’m here! How could he know I’m here! This is impossible!"

Watching the figure getting closer and closer to him, Nevemore kept frantically screaming in his heart.

Finally, when Zhang Xiaoman was less than thirty meters away, he couldn’t sit still any longer. He flashed out from the shadows, roaring as he launched an attack on Zhang Xiaoman. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, amidst the shaking earth, the Shadow Demon King was once again repelled.

"I clearly used my Divine Domain, how can you block it! This is impossible!"

Nevemore looked at his opponent, filled with disbelief. Whether it was the previous attack or the collision over Water Blue Star earlier, he had used his Divine Domain’s power.

But this member of the Spiritual Wisdom Clan seemed completely unaffected by the absolute power’s suppression, even though he couldn’t sense the opponent using the same power. How could he break through his attack? Nevemore couldn’t understand.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him calmly, slowly approaching step by step, seemingly having no intention of explaining.

However, many things he couldn’t explain. The reason he could ignore the attack from the Power Sequence and counterattack was entirely due to the ability brought by the North Star Ring.

In fact, Zhang Xiaoman himself also knows how to use the Divine Domain. Having reached the Extraordinary Level, if he mobilizes all his Dark Spiritual Power, he can use the Power Sequence; he can even barely use the 35th Defense Sequence. However, doing so would consume a lot of his spiritual power, making it not worth the effort.

The main issue is that although Zhang Xiaoman now has the ability to convert the Divine Domain, he hasn’t mastered the corresponding skill.

The Divine Domain, in essence, is also a Dark Spiritual Power Sequence. Being a Dark Spiritual Power Sequence, it must follow the construction principles of the Dark Spiritual Power Sequence’s formulas.

Without the corresponding formula, a single Power Sequence, even if activated, is of no use. If randomly integrated into other skills, it would only lead to the skill’s failure to activate, and wouldn’t enhance the skill’s power as imagined.

Thus, skills capable of integrating the Divine Domain are exceedingly rare, referred to as "Divine Skills." Without mastering the corresponding formula, he cannot activate "Divine Skills."

The reason Zhang Xiaoman can confront this guy is entirely due to the passive skills contained within the North Star Ring.

[Holy Star]

Exclusive Ability: Guardian Master — Halves all incoming damage; immune to all Law type effects.

This is the ability of one of the seven Star Rings, the Holy Star. Besides halving the damage he takes, it also makes him immune to all Law type effects.

This means that Divine Domains cast on him by others are basically ineffective.

Initially, Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t clear about the specific effects of this ability, but now it appears the role of this ring is far greater than he imagined.

Now, with the North Star Ring in hand, after being strengthened by the "Strengthening Stone" item, all passive skills have been activated.

In the past, looking at these capabilities when he first embarked on the path of cultivation, the increase in his combat power didn’t seem evident. It looked as if only the doubling of Dark Energy damage from the Spirit Star Ring was somewhat useful.

But as Zhang Xiaoman’s journey continued, with his growing strength, the formidable aspects of the Star Ring became apparent. Various abilities, terrifyingly supportive, have raised Zhang Xiaoman’s combat power by countless levels, making even facing Extraordinary Level experts who freely use the Divine Domain unfearful.

At this moment, as Zhang Xiaoman approached step by step, the Shadow Demon King’s figure twisted violently, indicating his great tension.

Suddenly, a shadow emerged from behind Zhang Xiaoman, instantly grabbing his legs, then clinging to his body, rendering him immobile.

"Hehehe... Hahaha! Didn’t expect this, did you! Excessive arrogance only leads to your demise! How dare you be so careless before a god! Today, I’ll teach you the consequence of such impudence!"

Nevemore heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Zhang Xiaoman being controlled, unable to help but laugh out loud.

However, Zhang Xiaoman across did not panic in the slightest, even sighed slightly, feeling some emotions in his heart.

Once upon a time, when facing the first Shadow Demon, he was just a rookie who knew nothing, also controlled by a similar shadow binding ability. At that time, he could only watch helplessly as the opponent killed him, unable to do anything. Were it not for Jin Bao’s help and the Holy Water, he might have died long ago.

But now, years later, he has grown to another height. The evil faced today is no longer the small Shadow Demon, but the king-level existence of this race.

And when this déjà vu scene unfolded once again, the outcome brought about would be entirely different.

"Swoosh~"

A flying sword flew out from Zhang Xiaoman’s storage ring, stabbing straight into the ground.

Instantly, all the shadows binding him lost their effect, and Nevemore’s attempts to restrict him were useless.

Sword Formation · Tai Chi, immune to all control effects!

Zhang Xiaoman continued to move forward.

"No, no... how can this be! How can this happen!"

Nevemore felt overwhelmed by the fright and shock he had experienced today. Seeing his opponent unaffected by his control, he panicked again, completely losing the aura he had moments ago.

"We have a saying, ’There’s always someone better out there.’ As you laugh at mortals’ ignorance, have you ever thought of how you appear in others’ eyes?"

Zhang Xiaoman continued to approach, now less than ten meters away.

"No! Damn Spiritual Wisdom Clan! Don’t think I don’t know, with your methods there’s no way to kill me! You just wait! I will come back! I will come back and kill all of you!"

Nevemore couldn’t stay still anymore, shouted, and ran away, flying towards space without looking back.

However...

"Swoosh~"

Another flying sword flew out, and Nevemore’s figure froze, then was forcibly pulled back to the ground.

Sword Formation · Swallowing Sun and Moon, No-fly Zone!

Nevemore felt like he was about to collapse. The tactics of this Spiritual Wisdom Clan before him were utterly baffling; although they lacked the aura of the Divine Domain, they repeatedly used effects similar to the Divine Domain.

When clashing with him, it was the Power Sequence; just now, the immune control was from the Speed Sequence, and now it was using the Confinement Series. This was beyond his imagination.

Zhang Xiaoman ignored his shock, still approaching him slowly, quietly gathering a force.

A sentence said by this Shadow Demon was quite correct; he indeed couldn’t completely kill him, as shadows pervaded this world. At Nevemore’s level, true death was nearly impossible, much like how Holy Angels mastered Rebirth.

And Zhang Xiaoman didn’t have the power to defeat him, plunging him into an endless cycle of Rebirth. Thus, under this circumstance, to entirely eradicate this threat from Nevemore, he could only choose another approach.
