The sky was dark, clouds dense.

The abandoned building stood amidst overgrown grass in the outskirts of the city, the Eye of Flame Light leaned against the bottom with a sunken chest, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes gradually losing their gleam.

Not far away, the broken and burning Yu Bach was emitting billowing black smoke, in the hazy sight afar, a tall man armored, stood over Yu Bach’s wreckage, looking down at her, said: "Ignorant fool."

’Maybe.’

The Eye of Flame Light lowered her gaze.

As a Patrol Hunter, her mission was to track down fugitive criminals; for work efficiency, the Eye of Flame Light would often observe a general location of the wanted from afar during off-duty time.

But such actions aren’t safe; solo Patrol Hunters are not strong—if discovered, they could likely be killed by the wanted, perhaps even fates worse than death.

’Overtime... really could lead to sudden death.’

She thought silently in her heart.

The vast vision of a visual Patrol Hunter and the past successes had given the Eye of Flame Light an unwarranted confidence, and the audacity to attempt tracking down a high-level Spiritualist.

Coincidentally, she encountered a top-level Spiritualist skilled in Anti-Reconnaissance; just one mistake was enough to cost her life.

"Well, although I don’t think you have any life-saving artifacts, just to be safe, better hit you a few more times."

The man slowly lifted the pitch-black rod, the smile on his face growing dense, speaking softly: "Obviously, I won’t directly kill you."

"You dare not?"

The Eye of Flame Light sneered with laughter.

"Ha, you think I don’t know that you Patrol Hunters leave a death-trigger tracking mark on yourselves when you sign the contract? That mark automatically targets whoever kills you. If I kill you, that mark would tag me. Did you really think I didn’t know?"

The man’s voice turned cold, the smile on his face thickened, and he said: "I will break your limbs, leave you to die here alone... any last words?"

"He’s coming."

The bottom of the Eye of Flame Light’s eyes glowed subtly gold, her face beamed with a brilliant smile like seeing something amusing.

"Huh? Who’s coming?"

The man frowned in confusion, unaware of who the "he" the Eye of Flame Light referred to, feeling quite uncomfortable facing the unknown.

"The black... Death God."

The Eye of Flame Light glanced at the sky, the golden light in her eyes gradually dimming, but the smile on her face grew wider.

"Absurd."

The man muttered, his unease peaked at the Eye of Flame Light’s smile, he didn’t know what her golden eyes saw—whether her words were a true warning or a false alert.

But regardless, leaving right after crippling her swiftly was obviously the wise choice. That’s the safest route.

The black rod descended...

"Bang!!"

The soaring sound tore through the sky, crimson blood light pierced space in an instant, traversed boundless space, carrying frightfully chilly blood qi descending.

The Blood Spear deflected the rod’s attack, even leaving slight damage traces on its surface, calmly stuck in the ground, scarlet Blood Energy burned like flames, seemingly ready to incinerate everything around.

Briefly shocked, the man instantly realized the gravity of the situation.

’This is... a top-level weapon of Destruction Attribute! And it’s a Fierce Weapon! This thing probably cannot be touched—touching it means death!’

’Is it the Black Death God that woman mentioned?’

He decisively turned his head, looking toward the Blood Spear’s direction while stepping back, took out a life-saving Teleportation Artifact, poised to crush and teleport away anytime.

Front? Left? Right?

Nowhere? Still far away?

"Huh?"

Suddenly, an intensely terrifying aura descended from above, he raised his head in horror, witnessing a man terrifying like a Demon God traversing the void overhead, rapidly charging toward him.

[Mahakala]

The Celestial Control from Heavenly Authority and the power of Abyssal Power simultaneously erupted; boundless darkness engulfed downward, akin to a world-devouring beast consuming everything within reach.

’Domain?’

’Sure enough, not a mere individual!’

Tasite smiled, cold sweat beaded from his forehead, he inhaled sharply, body surface suddenly erupted in ghostly purple Energy; a massive quantity of ghostly purple Energy surged into a necklace, forming a giant purple sword suspended overhead.

...

Boundary-breaking Ability.... humph! Naive!

Witnessing Ye Mingqiu’s battle, the Eye of Flame Light sneered disdainfully.

She knew well, Ye Mingqiu’s Domain differs from others, a self-developed Ability, not reliant on system Skills, hence lacking the usual massive cooldown.

If others’ Domains get destroyed, it cannot reopen shortly, but Ye Mingqiu is different; his Domain can be used repeatedly in rapid succession, unconstrained by cooldown.

Of course, such Domain usage demands terrifying Energy consumption, yet Ye Mingqiu embodies exactly such a formidable existence, possessing immense total Energy and rapid recovery speed, capable of ignoring terrifying consumption repeatedly using Domain.

[Note: You have gained [Indestructible] Aura Buff Effect]

"Huh?"

The Eye of Flame Light raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Soon, teetering on death, she felt Life Energy filled her body instantly, the broken bones amazingly swiftly repaired, muscles expelled bone shards, further healed, rapidly recovering within brief moments.
