Kree!
Bai Lin's golden eyes glinted with murderous intent that could freeze the soul.
"...!" The trio's expression shifted with a mixture of disbelief, fear, and solemnity. They could tell by Wei Wuyin's words and aura that he was telling the truth! They were still Ascended beings, and determining the truth from a Mortal's aura was easily done.
"So if we don't kill you, we'll die?" Kun Yiming grimly asked.
"That's right; I'll have Bai Lin burn you all alive together, peacefully send you off as one family." Wei Wuyin said as if it was a minor matter.
"And if we do kill you?" Venerable Bluecloud asked, his heart rate increasing.
"Then, you'll be awarded by my Alchemic Knight. But not with death, but with a great fortune. It'll be enough to allow you to ascend to the Earthly Saint Phase in this lifetime."
"..." This was highly unusual, and they couldn't grasp Wei Wuyin's thoughts, but they knew that Wei Wuyin could easily kill them if he was displeased, so they weren't left without a choice.
Wei Wuyin could see the will to live slowly solidify in their eyes. He nodded. Then, he looked at the Tiangou, which drew the other gazes. They saw nothing despite its titanic frame, largely due to existing within a concealment array established by the Legion of War.
"Come," Wei Wuyin said as he stepped to the edge of the Voidship, and then lightly pushed off. He flickered a hundred miles away within a blink, and then kept flickering until he reached about three thousand miles out. The Voidship was already erecting its protective formations. Bai Lin stayed there.
He had canceled his Draconic Transformation the moment the trio's ship was spotted, so he was entirely relying on his innate physical energies to ward off the chaos man's chilling powers. This was something only those with exceptionally powerful physical energies could pull off, temporarily replicating the feat of beasts. Even without his Draconic Transformation, Wei Wuyin could achieve this much. As for Ascended beings, they could accomplish this feat with genuine ease.
In the very same instance when Wei Wuyin came to a stop, three figures surrounded him in a triangle formation with ten or so meters of distance apart.
This was the speed of Ascended beings.
"If we offend you, Lord Wei, please forgive us." Venerable Bluecloud said despite the conditions set. It was either them or Wei Wuyin!
"We'll let you make the first move, Lord Wei." Venerable Slayingsword hadn't taken out his sword, but his body was wreathing in sword light. This was a type of unique Mystic Ward Art, significantly more useful yet equally as costly.
"..." Kun Yiming's back was her high Mystic-Earth grade Armament, the Silverflow Wings! It had elevated to another level from her time against Wu Yu! Her figure grew illusory as if hundreds of images tried to claw themselves out of her.
Wei Wuyin could feel Kun Yiming and Venerable Slayingsword's killing intent bear down on him, causing his heart to turn glacial. This was the killing intent of Ascended beings! Most Mortals would find themselves frozen on the spot, transforming into little lambs to the slaughter for these three.
Wei Wuyin, however, looked calm. "When I was a Realmlord, I had forged my foundation to the greatest extent within my means, and I wasn't able to test my limits then. I found it a shame really, since my Worldly Domain had reached levels that even those beyond the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region hadn't heard of."
"..." The trio allowed Wei Wuyin to speak, with Venerable Slayingsword chiming in: "What did it reach?"
Wei Wuyin looked his way, a tinge of pride danced at the edge of his lips, forming a slight grin. "When I first ascended to the Realmlord level, I had a Worldly Domain of 333,000 meters. This was already abnormal, but as I drove it further, realizing each additional kilometer was of increasing difficulty, I maximized my limits to 999,000 meters. I had hit some plateau that couldn't be exceeded normally. But then, I took a transcendent domain-expansion product. I then realized that I wasn't cultivating using actual Domain Seed Expansion products, not directly at least."
The Echoing Stars of the Vastness Pill was extremely useful for generalized cultivation of Starlords. Unlike specific products, it wasn't able to directly expand one's Worldly Domain, merely nourishing its strength. The expansion of size was an indirect representation of its strength, yet size mattered as equally as the power the Worldly Domain contained within its limits.
For example, if a cultivator could 'convert' an additional 1,000 meters in their power, then against a similar enemy, they could Summon forth more external power for an advantage.
There were even Cultivation Methods that achieved this. It was one of the justifications for Wei Wuyin's absurdly large Worldly Domain by countless cultivators who saw it. This wasn't an abnormality, but that was temporary, and alchemy was more permanent.
"...!" The trio was thunderstruck. 333,000 meters at the beginning? 999,000 Limit? As a Realmlord?! That number vastly exceeds the standard of eighty to a hundred kilometers for ordinary Starlords!
Wei Wuyin continued despite their expression changes, "So I used that to their limits, bringing myself from 999,000 meters to 1.8 million meters. I once again hit a peak, not even transcendent products could breach this limit."
1.8 MILLION?!?!
Wei Wuyin's eyes slowly began to shine. "Now, I've once again hit my limit as a Timelord."
If 1.8 million meters was his limit at the Realmlord, then what would it be at the Timelord? The trio was immensely skeptical, yet they also held an incredible degree of respect and trust in Wei Wuyin's words, unable to dismiss it as pointless bragging of a mortal youth. After all, this was a figure that blazed a trail to new Chosen standards, who had an Earthly Saint Alchemic Knight, two in fact, and rode an ancient beast that was the Fire Phoenix!
Was there a point in bragging with lies? Just the fact he was a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist recognized by every Alchemic Sovereign while being under the age of a hundred and a mere mortal would grant him endless bragging rights.
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, Wei Wuyin's aura began to cause the surrounding chaos mana to move forcefully. Then, with a breath, Wei Wuyin's Worldly Domain unfurled!
The Worldly Domain of Elemental Origin!!!
A gushing wave of pure white color expanded endlessly, instantly reaching its limit and forming a spherical shape! With Wei Wuyin at the epicenter, it reached…
Venerable Bluecloud's eyes widened.
Venerable Slayingsword's fists clenched.
Kun Yiming exclaimed, "What?!"
Their Spiritual Senses were far-reaching, and while they greatly exceeded Wei Wuyin's Worldly Domain's limits, they only served to fully grasp the enormity of such power!
SEVENTY HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SEVEN MILLION METERS!!!
"ITS SO MASSIVE!"
"THE ENERGY IS INCREDIBLY CONDENSED!!"
"THE WORLDLY PRESSURE IS SO HEAVY!!!"
The trio voiced out their first thoughts as they were besieged by the powers of a Worldly Domain. As for who said what, it mattered not. What mattered was their thoughts all screamed similar things, and that was the Worldly Domain was:
Exceptionally Thick!
Unimaginably Big!
Immensely Powerful!
