Chapter 628: Chapter 401: Hunting Beasts and Cutting Timber_1

Owen Bertram refrained from speaking, originally intending to collect the remains of the Five-toothed Battleship and leave. Yet, ultimately, he couldn’t resist turning the situation into a treasure hunt! At this moment, however, he had to be cautious. The Ghost Army Tiger Talisman, the Bean Soldiers, and the Spirit Wave Ancient Zither were all unusable as Owen took his efforts to explore and analyze the domain of the Void Light Black Water Serpent.

Everything related to the true nature of heaven and earth was controlled by the master of the domain. However, since everyone had different cultivation focuses, this naturally led to some aspects being stronger, while others remained weaker. When the domains of two individuals in the Sixth Great Realm clashed, the final victory was determined by whether they could exploit the strengths within their own domain to break through the other’s domain.

The domain of the Void Light Black Water Serpent, combined with the gray mist, seemed to perfectly restrain Owen. The Serpent even colluded with the Sea-devouring Catfish, first using it to hold back Owen’s other magical instrument, the Bean Soldiers, which it dreaded.

However, the Serpent didn’t know that Owen didn’t rely on these three treasures!

It didn’t take long for Owen to confirm that the "bewilderment" caused by the Serpent’s domain was a sensory illusion, not truly an infinitely vast space.

Owen’s failed attempt to fly out of the gray mist was like being lost in a labyrinth, deceived by the illusion. Despite thinking he kept flying in one direction, he was actually going in circles.

Knowing this, Owen was no longer worried, as his Breaking Void divine powers would not be constrained by this domain.

However, Owen still did not attempt to leave with his divine powers. He remained in the domain and absorbed a strand of mist into his body to personally test its poison while attempting to find a flaw in the Serpent’s cultivation.

Would Owen give up halfway? Of course not! Since he had discovered the remains in the Serpent’s territory, he naturally wanted to take them all away.

And would Owen let go of any grudges? The fact that the Void Light Black Water Serpent and the Tier-6 ambush of Lock Beach had teamed up meant they had to face the consequences!

With great confidence, Owen knew that if he summoned the Black Swordswoman, her strike would shatter everything beneath the Tire-8 Sword Artifact, regardless of the gray mist and domain. But that was not his own strength, and he always felt this was his most effective means of self-preservation, even above Master Lane’s help.

Such self-defense methods should not be exposed easily. Besides, if Owen used the Black Swordswoman too much, she might become impatient...

Given her temperament, she might not only abandon Owen; she might even strike him first.

Inside that strand of gray mist, a faint breath of life was hidden. Once it entered Owen’s body, it suddenly turned against him! The rebellious energy wreaked havoc inside Owen’s spirit vein, quickly corroding his body. Owen’s finger immediately turned gray!

"Hahaha--" the Void Light Black Water Serpent’s voice laughed. "I never thought that you, a Domain-6 expert, could be so careless. I thought I had to trap you for days, but it seems I’ll be able to eat you soon."

Wielding the gray energy, it deliberately destroyed Owen’s spirit vein and consumed his body. Owen tried to resist using his spiritual energy, but once a gap was opened, it was difficult to close. The gray energy inside Owen’s body was inherently linked to that outside, and as the inner energy ran rampant, the outer energy crazily rushed through Owen’s already necrotized fingers and into his body.

In just a few breaths’ time, the gray mist that filled the entire domain all squeezed into Owen’s body!

As the domain emptied, the ferocious light in the eyes of the Void Light Black Water Serpent intensified. With countless tusks bared, it drooled a foul-smelling saliva, ready to devour the poisoned prey within its domain!

"Huh—?"

However, the Serpent saw that its domain was empty. The prey had disappeared! At the same time, it noticed the connection between itself and the gray mist vanishing for an instant.

"Not good!" The Void Light Black Water Serpent cried out, and its figure instantly split into dozens, landing in various parts of its territory. Yet, just then, the connection between itself and the mist reemerged! A powerful Sword Intent was locked onto the Serpent by this connection!

The Void Light Black Water Serpent shouted, "So what!? My strength is far beyond yours. Even in a frontal confrontation, do you think I’d be afraid of you!?"

Boom—

A sword light suddenly pierced the void, accurately hitting the Void Light Black Water Serpent.

The Serpent roared, and the Bone Horn Treasure Pearl atop its head emitted a dazzling radiance that countered the sword light. With the support of its entire domain, the radiance and sword light were closely matched. Countless streams of scorching light scattered, resembling molten steel being poured.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The Void Light Black Water Serpent roared repeatedly. Apart from the head bearing the Bone Horn Treasure Pearl, three more heads sprouted from its neck and, opening their wide mouths, spewed out blinding spiritual light alongside the sword light.

The Serpent believed that, even without the gray mist, its own domain’s support provided an advantage far beyond Owen’s reach. The opponent had indeed used the gray mist’s connection to reverse-locate the Serpent’s true location, but so what? In this battle of attrition, it was bound to win!

However, what the Serpent didn’t know was that the sword light contained a terrifying power: like a malignant wind from the void, it constantly eroded the Serpent’s strength. Its own consumption far exceeded that of its opponent.
