Chapter 261: Being killed by him will only help him improve his strength!

With the System by his side, Li Xuanfeng could make various choices, inferring which one was the most correct by the change in the color of his Destiny Light.

Even in a desperate situation, there was a glimmer of hope, and with the System, Li Xuanfeng could find that sliver of hope.

Furthermore, the current situation was far from desperate for him; even if the four major super forces gathered to围堵, they wouldn't be able to threaten him.

If truly insurmountable powerhouses descended, he still had the trump card his Master left him.

"According to the Destiny Light's color, there's no danger in me refining this Domain completely before leaving."

"I just don't know how much it will grow after it's fully devoured?"

Li Xuanfeng watched his Domain expand at a visible rate.

"375,000 li, 380,000 li, 385,000 li, 390,000 li, 395,000 li, 400,000 li…"

"For an Emperor Realm Middle Stage Domain, every 90,000 li is a threshold."

"360,000 li to 450,000 li is Emperor Realm Early Stage."

"450,000 li to 540,000 li is Emperor Realm Middle Stage."

"540,000 li to 630,000 li is Emperor Realm Late Stage."

"630,000 li to 720,000 li is Emperor Realm Peak."

"Just like the King Realm, the Emperor Realm also has a Realm limit. A Middle Stage Domain exceeding 630,000 li is considered Emperor Realm Peak, but 720,000 li is the limit of Emperor Realm Perfection."

"I wonder if the Ice Feather Emperor's Domain has reached its limit of Perfection?"

A thought stirred in Li Xuanfeng's mind.

The Ice Feather Emperor was known as the number one person in the Emperor Realm, and the power she displayed when dealing with Xuan傀皇 earlier was enough to prove her strength.

However, whether she had reached the limit of Perfection could only be known if she revealed her Domain.

"I'll have to see hers if I get the chance."

Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.

Time flowed by.

One day later.

Buzz!

The Chaotic Mist surged, and a powerful fluctuation spread out. The 500,000 li Middle Stage Myriad Puppet Domain was finally completely refined.

Li Xuanfeng's Chaotic Sword Domain also grew to 450,000 li.

"450,000 li, only a step away from the Emperor Realm Middle Stage!"

Li Xuanfeng could clearly feel a significant increase in his power.

"450,000 li!"

"In just one day, it grew from 370,000 li to 450,000 li!"

The powerhouses who had been paying attention to Li Xuanfeng's movements were once again greatly shocked.

A Domain range of 450,000 li was the dividing line between the Emperor Realm Early Stage and Middle Stage.

Li Xuanfeng was still in the King Realm, yet his Domain range could reach such a level, which was truly unbelievable.

"His Domain is simply terrifying. Devouring and refining others' Domains to strengthen himself—such a monstrous ability. No wonder he could break through the limit in the King Realm!"

"Currently, an Emperor Realm Middle Stage Cultivator might still have a chance to kill him if they go all out. In a while, even an Emperor Realm Late Stage Cultivator might not be able to threaten him!"

"To kill him, one must use a power far superior to his, otherwise similar situations will continue to occur, and being killed by him would only serve to boost his strength!"

The Black Fire Sect's Emperor Realm Cultivator was anxious; the more exaggerated Li Xuanfeng's progress, the more restless he became.

Xuan傀皇 took several millennia to Cultivate his Domain to such an extent, while Li Xuanfeng refined it in just one day!

Previously, when Li Xuanfeng devoured and refined the Domains of Hundred Fire King and others, he did not release his own Domain, so the Black Fire Sect's Emperor Realm Cultivator hadn't noticed the change. Now, witnessing the rapid growth of the Chaotic Sword Domain with his own eyes, he finally understood why Li Xuanfeng's strength improved at such an exaggerated pace—it was all related to that mysterious Chaotic Mist.

As long as he could uncover the secret of the Chaotic Mist and gain that kind of power himself, he might be able to replace Li Xuanfeng, and his strength could also increase at an astonishing rate!

So, while anxious, greed and covetousness also began to grow in his heart.

The Fan Family's Emperor Realm Cultivator had the same idea as him.

On one hand, they feared Li Xuanfeng's rapid increase in strength, and on the other hand, they wanted to acquire his ability to improve so quickly.

At their Realm, the speed of Cultivation simply couldn't be increased; they could only accumulate their Cultivation bit by bit through long periods of secluded Cultivation.

Forget about achieving Li Xuanfeng's rate of improvement; if they could even increase their current Cultivation speed by one or two tenths, it would be enough for them to risk their lives for it.

"Is this the secret to his ability to improve to such an extent in such a short time?"

"But how did his Realm rapidly improve before he condensed his Domain?"

Ice Feather Emperor's gaze penetrated the spatial barrier, looking at Li Xuanfeng's vast Chaotic Sword Domain, and she thought to herself.

Buzz!

The Chaotic Sword Domain vibrated, and Li Xuanfeng, with a thought, retracted it.

Then, he anchored his spatial coordinates, took a step, and returned to the Refining Competition arena.

Whoosh!

With Li Xuanfeng's sudden appearance, the Artifact Refining Competition, which had been in full swing, erupted in an uproar.

After the Ice Feather Emperor put away the bronze mirror, Cultivators below the King Realm could not perceive the situation in the Void Realm.

They had thought Li Xuanfeng had already left, but unexpectedly, he suddenly returned to the competition venue at this moment.

In the audience, everyone's attention shifted from the competition arena to Li Xuanfeng, and even the Artifact Refiners on the stage turned their attention to him.

And so.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the huge arena, the sounds of exploding furnaces rang out one after another.

Artifact Refining, like Alchemy, requires finding the optimal Fusion ratio and a perfect balance between various Materials. Once out of balance, at best the quality of the refined Spiritual Artifact decreases, and at worst the Spiritual Artifact directly shatters, wasting Artifact Refining Materials.

Seeing Artifact Refiners fail their Artifact Refining and their furnaces explode one after another due to distraction from Li Xuanfeng's appearance, the Ice Feather Emperor couldn't help but be filled with helplessness.

This session of the Artifact Refining Competition, for which she was responsible, was ruined.

"Are you interested in staying to watch the competition?"

The Ice Feather Emperor saw that Li Xuanfeng might be leaving, so she sent a sound transmission to ask.

If Li Xuanfeng stayed here, it would be best for her to personally escort him away after the competition ended.

Moreover, she could take the opportunity to discuss Artifact Refining with him and test Li Xuanfeng's talent in the Dao of Artifact Refining.

"Thank you, Senior Ice Feather Emperor, for your kind invitation to stay, but Junior has never been exposed to Artifact Refining, so I'm afraid I wouldn't understand much."

"Junior still has important matters to attend to, so I won't stay here any longer. I apologize for the trouble I caused you earlier!"

Li Xuanfeng sent a sound transmission.

"Between us, Fellow Daoist is sufficient. Why bother with seniority?"

"Besides, I already owe you a favor, so how can there be any talk of trouble or apology!"

The Ice Feather Emperor's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Li Xuanfeng calling her Senior made her feel distant, and she didn't like that feeling.

If it were other King Realm Cultivators, or Emperor Realm Cultivators weaker than her, calling her Senior, she would accept it calmly.

But with Li Xuanfeng's talent, surpassing her was inevitable, and it definitely wouldn't take long.

"My name is Xin Ruyu. If you don't mind, you can call me Fellow Daoist Xin."

The Ice Feather Emperor added.

"Fellow Daoist Xin."

Li Xuanfeng smiled and sent a sound transmission.

Compared to Fellow Daoist, he preferred to call her Senior.

The reason was also simple: if they were to discuss the Yin Yang Profound Refining Technique together in the future, this form of address seemed to have a bit more flavor.

The Ice Feather Emperor was completely unaware of Li Xuanfeng's improper thoughts, and only when she heard him change his address to Fellow Daoist did a fleeting smile appear in the corner of her eye.
