Chapter 2: Confrontation 2
"You are no match for my Dark Domain".
Nero lifted an arm and suddenly, a massive fire tornado emerged from his hand, soaring high up to the sky. As it approached a certain altitude, it took on the form of an illusory crouching tiger with the exact same fiendish green eyes as Nero had.
The Dark Domain was a special technique created by Nero. This is a high-level technique that absorbs even the tiniest trace of Qi that falls within the domain while instantly assimilating it into Nero, thereby increasing his strength and power by leaps and bounds. When activated, the area within the domain would be covered in a vast layer of dark mist, making it difficult to see through it. His eyes wouold also change to a dark green hue giving off a bone-chilling vibe. At this moment, Nero looked like a demon born of blood and war, in a land of carnage, destruction, and massacre.
Seeing this, the nine warriors broke out in cold sweat as an unspeakable feeling of fear sent shivers through their spine. Their legs were too weak to move due to the pressure exuded by the illusory tiger.
"Begone!!!"
Nero roared as the flaming illusory tiger leaped into the air, bearing its fangs, and descended on the fear-stricken warriors rendering their flesh and bones into ashes.
In the blink of an eye, there was nothing at all that could be clearly seen but smoke. Even the land wasn't spared as craters were formed and the surrounding areas were filled with cracks running for thousands of miles.
A large swathe of land was covered in burn marks and it made the damage of the spot where Nero stood, which was destroyed by the fireball from earlier, look small comparison.
"How disappointing..." Nero sighed. He suddenly sensed a wave of Qi approaching him and instinctively tilted his head to the side, dodging the attack.
"Oh? You're not dead?" Nero said casually. He was a little surprised to see the bald man approach him at high speed.
"Die!!"
The bald man slashed out with his sword releasing a dense white light striking towards Nero with great force.
Nero reacted timely and caught the sword with his bare hands. Immediately his hands caught the sword, the dense white light exuding from the sword got dimmer until nothing was left.
"Impossible!" The bald man cried out in shock.
Nero sneered and struck out with his fist. The bald man had no time to react and could only grit his teeth to endure the pain from Nero's fist.
"Ahhhhh!!"
The bald man was sent flying leaving trails of flesh and blood along the way. It took a while before he could regain his composure and stop his flight.
Looking at how severe his wounds were, the bald man knew he wasn't going to last any longer, but what haunted him the most were the light steps Nero was taking towards him. From this, the bald man knew that Nero never took them seriously from the beginning.
The bald man sighed hopelessly before saying, "You really are as the stories say you are."
"Yes, I am. What else do you have to say?" Nero replied indifferently.
"I guess I have no other choice then."
Saying this, the bald man summoned a cube-shaped object on his palm. The cube had a lot of mysterious carvings on it and had an eerie aura surrounding it. The man then poured his energy into the cube. Upon coming in contact with the energy, the carvings around the cubic object began to move, releasing waves of berserk energy.
Seeing this, Nero slightly frowned and started to circulate his Qi. He didn't hurry to attack because he knew he was too late to do anything as the cube was already activated. He didn't know anything about it, but the eerie aura made him feel apprehensive. So rather than rushing over, Nero decided to raise his defense and awareness first.
"I guess only objects of this level can make you apprehensive." Said the bald man.
"Don't think too highly of yourself." Nero snorted.
"The legend that challenged the heavens and trampled the earth, hailed as the one without an origin, destroyer of countless worlds… I really have kicked an iron bucket this time around. But I do hope to rectify it with this." The bald man said, pointing the cube at Nero.
"I won't let you!" Nero roared before rushing over.
"Too late."
Booooooooooommmmmmmmm!!!!!
A dense beam of blue light rushed towards Nero at an insane speed.
"It's fast!"
The blue beam of light was much faster than Nero had anticipated, so his only option was to block it. He dashed at the beam of light while releasing his Dark Domain, which in turn, collided with the beam of light. Upon collision, an explosive force erupted from the impact of both powers, as a massive explosion formed yet again.
Nero unleashed his entire energy to subdue the power from the beam, and due to the addition of more energy from him, the impact from both powers increased yet again to a more terrifying level. The explosion spread for hundreds of miles, destroying everything in its path. Forests were burned to ashes, mountains collapsed, cracks appeared here and there with no signs of life sighted in a million-mile radius from the explosion.
"You truly are Nero… the Godkiller." The bald man said as he breathed his last.
