The mist advanced with terrifying speed. Even as Mu Qing raced around the group, some members were still engulfed. In the blink of an eye, their flesh and blood were drained, leaving behind desiccated corpses.

Witnessing this, the killing intent in Mu Qing's eyes burned even brighter.

The overwhelming surge of emotion caused her eyes to glow scarlet, pushing her to the brink of losing control.

She fought to suppress her emotions, continuing to run and shield the group's advance.

Under her protection, after hours of frantic running, they finally broke through the domain barrier and emerged into the outside world.

By then, nearly a third of the team had been lost.

Her eyes, which had long been free of the uncontrolled state, were now completely crimson. Once she confirmed everyone was safe, she suddenly charged back into the mist.

She desperately needed to unleash her power.

If she remained outside and completely lost control, the warriors would be in grave danger.

Within the mist, Mu Qing let out a roar, her fists raining down in a frenzy.

The Mist Face watched Mu Qing from the shadows, initially having no intention of attacking.

But as it saw wraiths being slaughtered one after another within the mist, it could no longer restrain itself and reappeared before Mu Qing.

A nearly solidified mist hand collided with Mu Qing's fist.

In that instant, the Domain Field seemed to split into two worlds. The mist behind Mu Qing was completely dispersed by a violent gust of wind.

Now, a fierce glint flashed in Mu Qing's eyes. A jade-colored mist emanated from her body, pressing down on the surging Mist Sea as she advanced step by step.

Sensing Mu Qing's overwhelming power, the Mist Face showed extreme surprise.

It realized it had underestimated her strength.

Reluctantly, it gathered the Mist Sea into a humanoid form—a youth with purple hair and purple eyes.

When their fists collided again, spatial cracks flickered around them, and the barrier of the Domain Field trembled.

At that moment, Mu Qing let out a low growl. She seized the purple-haired youth by his hair, slammed him to the ground, and brought down her jade-misted fist with sudden force.

The earth trembled as the youth was driven into the ground by the impact.

The earth cracked open as Mu Qing tore it apart with her bare hands and lunged toward the purple-haired youth.

Realizing he was no match for her strength, the purple-haired youth decisively dodged. He tore through the earth from the side, emerged, and soared into the sky.

Mu Qing pursued relentlessly, shooting from the ground like an arrow toward the youth.

Her speed was overwhelming. Before the purple-haired youth could react, she seized his hair again and slammed him to the ground.

Boom!

The moment he hit the ground, Mu Qing's fist landed squarely on his face.

He was sent crashing back into the earth.

The pain in his face seemed to ignite the youth's fury. Gray energy surged from his body, enveloping him as he erupted from the ground and charged at Mu Qing.

In their brutal exchanges, Mu Qing remained protected by the jade-colored mist, her body untouched by any wounds.

The purple-haired youth, however, was already covered in scars, his chest even caved inward.

Faced with Mu Qing's relentless physical assault, the youth dissolved into mist and retreated abruptly before solidifying his form again.

Eerie purple light flickered in his eyes as he stared directly at Mu Qing.

Countless whispers and murmurs echoed in Mu Qing's mind.

But these mental bewitchment techniques were utterly ineffective against her raging fury, automatically nullified.

Mu Qing surged forward again.

Realizing his mental assault had failed, the purple-haired youth swiftly traced a spell trajectory. The space around Mu Qing suddenly tore open, forming a spatial cage around her.

Countless mist spikes materialized within the cage, piercing her body.

Mu Qing paid them no heed. The jade-colored mist surrounding her body formed an impenetrable defense.

Her fists pounded against the spatial rifts, shaking the very fabric of reality.

In her uncontrolled rage, Mu Qing resembled a prehistoric beast—unmatched and unstoppable.

As the jade-colored mist continuously seeped from her body, a vague, monstrous silhouette materialized behind her, radiating overwhelming pressure as it looked down upon all creation.

Then, Mu Qing reached her hand through a spatial rift.

The space-shattering force failed to harm her body in the slightest.

With brutal force, she tore her way through the void, step by step, emerging from the spatial cage.

Seeing this, terror flashed across the purple-haired youth's face.

At that moment, he gained a clear understanding of Mu Qing's physical strength, realizing he stood no chance against her. The battle had even made him feel the threat of death.

He immediately resolved to flee.

Without hesitation, he transformed into mist and shot toward the sky.

But the enraged Mu Qing gave him no chance. She suddenly opened her mouth wide and violently inhaled toward the sky.

The monstrous beast's phantom behind her also opened its gluttonous maw toward the heavens.

The mist in the sky converged toward Mu Qing's mouth as if an invisible great force were dragging it into her mouth.

Facing imminent death, the mist desperately tried to escape the Domain Field.

Yet a massive amount of mist was still pulled into Mu Qing's mouth by the suction force, leaving only a third of it to escape through the domain barrier.

Still unable to vent the surging negative emotions, Mu Qing suddenly clenched her fist and smashed it into the ground.

This punch was far more terrifying than any before.

The entire Silent Domain Field trembled, and a massive crack radiated outward from her position like a spiderweb.

Then she threw her second punch, her third...

Under her ferocious assault, the space crystal at the center of the Domain Field flickered erratically, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

Another punch landed, and the earth, already scarred by a crater a kilometer in diameter, trembled violently.

As the monstrous beast behind Mu Qing roared to the heavens, the Silent Domain Field could no longer withstand the onslaught. Its internal Space Crystals instantly shattered into dust.

The barrier curtain of the Silent Domain Field dissolved.

Domain combat teams had always targeted the internal Space Crystals as their primary objective.

But Mu Qing had instead unleashed her power across the entire Domain Field, shattering it through sheer force before the Space Crystals crumbled.

As her power subsided, clarity gradually returned to Mu Qing's eyes.

She looked around at the massive crater she had created, took a deep breath, and clenched her trembling fists.

A flicker of fear crossed her eyes.

She realized she must urgently improve her emotional control, lest she cause irreversible consequences in the future.

After regaining her composure, the rage in her heart subsided.

She turned and walked south toward her team members.

In a snowy forest to the north of the Silent Domain Field, a purple-haired youth lay hunched on the ground, his body riddled with wounds.

wisps of gray mist continuously leaked from within him, and his pale lips made him appear exceptionally frail, as if he could die at any moment.

"Cough... cough..."

He opened his mouth and expelled two clumps of mist, his life force rapidly dwindling.

Yet an intense will to survive kept him clinging to life.

Realizing his life source was about to dissipate, his eyes flashed with a mixture of regret and madness.

His hands dug into the earth, gripping it tightly, and a low growl escaped his throat as he seemed to struggle against death itself.

But the decline of his life force had become unstoppable.

With the Domain Field shattered, a part of the world's rules that had merged with him was gone. Moreover, the battle against Mu Qing had damaged his life origin, making it impossible for him to endure any longer.

Live! Live!

An infinite yearning for life forced him to cling to the last wisp of his vitality, refusing to accept the arrival of death.

But as its life force drained away, its consciousness quickly blurred and scattered.

In that moment, it seemed to see its clansmen standing not far away, gazing at it. Their expressions held regret, anger, and sorrow...

"Clan Leader, you promised to resurrect us all. We carved a path to hope for you, yet you betrayed your vow."

"Clan Leader, why did you abandon us?"

"Live on! Devour enough qi blood to reconstitute our flesh and resurrect us all!"

"Brother, I still want to live, but I'm willing to die for you. Don't let me down."

"That world holds miracles. Each one has the power to change destiny. Seek them out and fulfill your dream of becoming a deity."

"You're unworthy of being our Clan Leader. You claimed you'd plunder opportunities in another world to forge a new one for us. Did you succeed?"

"You are the greatest genius our clan has ever produced, with talent that could rival the divine children of powerful races. Today, I pass the position of Clan Leader to you. I hope you will lead our clan to rise. Don't disappoint me..."

Various voices intertwined in its mind.

Yet, due to the incompatibility between its body and this world, the gray life source within it continued to drain away.

At that moment, the purple-haired youth's eyes snapped open.

I must live!

It immediately began attempting to adapt to this world, even choosing to sever its own life origin and then recondense it, creating an adaptive life source that could harmonize with the world's rules.

To defy fate through death, to shatter this dead end.

In its struggle, the purple-haired youth's eyes were filled with grayness, and he collapsed to the ground, his life force gradually fading.

After an unknown period of time, the purple-haired youth's body was completely buried beneath a thick blanket of snow.

Just then, a hand emerged from the snowdrift.

The snow covering his body scattered, and the purple-haired youth floated out from the mound.

His eyes had returned to their original purple hue. He had successfully defied fate, gaining a new life and a new life source that could now harmonize with the world's rules.

Yet he remained extremely weak, his strength reduced by more than half compared to before his battle with Mu Qing, and his body riddled with hidden injuries and cracks.

With a wave of his hand, countless wraiths materialized from his body, swirling around him.

Soon, the entire sky was covered in wraiths.

Gazing at the familiar faces among them, a resolute expression appeared in his eyes. Then, he drew the wraiths back into his body.

He looked coldly in the direction of the shattered clan territory.

With this outcome, he knew his plan had to be completely revised.

He had originally planned to use the clan territory domain field as a center, following the example of powerful clans by continuously expanding his domain field to cover a larger area. Along the way, he would devour life and absorb qi blood to prepare for the resurrection of his clansmen.

But now that the clan territory domain field had shattered, he realized that this path was utterly unworkable with his current abilities.

As he pondered, he gazed south, and a completely new plan formed in his mind.

Since the clan territory was gone, he would start anew and create a brand-new future.

With this thought, he levitated into the air, transforming into a swirling mass of mist. He flew south.

At this moment, history traced a trajectory similar to multiple timelines.

The Lord of the Mist, driven by grand ambition to devour the entire world centered on his clan territory, encountered Mu Qing, a novice domain warrior, when his clan territory domain field perfectly merged with the world, allowing for expansion.

On one side stood the strongest genius in the history of his clan.

On the other stood the Great Demon King of History, a figure whose power had dominated the era.

In this battle, Mu Qing emerged victorious with an overwhelming advantage.

The Lord of the Mist, struggling back from the brink of death, had his destiny irrevocably altered. Realizing that his path to conquering the world was impossible with his current abilities, he abandoned his ambition to expand his clan territory domain field and carve out his own dominion.

From that day forward, his fate was destined to intertwine with Lin Ran's.

A millennia-spanning plan to resurrect his clansmen would also take shape in the future.
