Chapter 462: Domain vs Domain

A cold voice rang out right against Chu He's ear.

Moria's five fingers curled into a claw, his fingertips wreathed in thick, inseparably dense Devilish Qi, aiming straight for Chu He's back!

Chu He's reaction was pushed to the absolute extreme.

He didn't have time to fully elementalize, and could only mobilize the water element throughout his body in an instant, condensing a high-speed rotating vortex shield behind his back!

"Clang—!"

Moria's demonic claw ruthlessly grabbed onto that water shield.

There was no shattering sound as expected.

The moment the Devilish Qi, which was enough to tear the Soul apart, made contact with the water shield, it emitted a terrifying "hissing" sound, just like boiling oil poured onto a hot branding iron.

The rotation speed of the water shield suddenly slowed down, and wisps of black smoke even rose from its surface.

Chu He groaned softly, feeling a cold and domineering power invade his body along the connection of the water shield.

That was not a physical attack.

Instead, it was a chill that reached straight to the Soul, as if it wanted to freeze and corrode everything.

His body could elementalize, making him immune to the vast majority of physical damage.

But this Devilish Qi made him feel a wave of heartfelt discomfort and nausea.

He didn't dare let this power contaminate him for too long.

"Explode!"

Chu He let out a low shout, and the water shield behind him exploded with a roar!

The violent water current shockwave forced both of them back at the same time.

Moria drifted backward lightly for several meters, landing steadily, with that playful smile still hanging on his face.

Taking advantage of this force, Chu He quickly widened the distance from him by more than ten meters and stood firm again.

His chest heaved slightly, and his gaze became solemn like never before.

Damn it.

This guy's ability restrained him far too much.

Moria looked at him and leisurely shook off the remaining water droplets on his fingertips.

"Is this all your capability?"

"People from the Dawnbreaker Guild really seem to be nothing much after all."

A flash of provoked ferocity appeared on Chu He's face.

He took a deep breath, suddenly spread his arms wide, and struck a power-charging posture.

The water element throughout the entire room began to gather frantically with him at the center!

An Aura far more terrifying than before climbed step by step from his body!

"Oh?"

Zhou Huai raised an eyebrow, adding a bit of seriousness to his heart.

Judging by this posture, the opponent was about to get serious.

Chu He's gaze became incomparably sharp. He stared fixedly at Moria and roared out that earth-shattering name word by word.

"Boundless Vast Sea!"

Zhou Huai's heart tightened.

The ultimate skill was coming!

However.

The terrifying Aura on Chu He, at the moment it reached its peak, suddenly vanished again.

With a "bang", his entire body transformed into a stream of water once more.

Only this time, he did not attack Moria.

Instead, with extreme speed, he shot straight toward the crack of that tightly shut metal door!

He was going to run!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Huai was so angry he laughed.

I actually thought you wanted to have a hearty battle with me.

In the end, after holding back for so long, this is it?

Watching that stream of water about to squeeze out of the room through the door crack,

"Hum—"

A layer of invisible barrier lit up out of thin air on the door.

That stream of water slammed fiercely into the barrier, producing a muffled sound, as if it had crashed into an invisible wall.

Water splashes scattered everywhere, re-gathering on the ground into Chu He's disheveled figure.

He looked at that door in disbelief and then touched the indestructible barrier.

"A Formation?!"

He whipped his head around and looked at Moria not far away.

Moria crossed his arms with a teasing smile on his face, watching him with great interest.

"Knowing that you excel at escaping, I set up a Formation in advance."

"There are also no toilets here for you to tunnel through."

Zhou Huai's voice carried undisguised mockery.

"You guy, you're still so inconsistent in your words and actions."

"I thought you would really have a hearty battle with me, but I didn't expect you still wanted to run away."

"Do all of you in the Dawnbreaker Guild turn out to be cowards like you?"

Realizing that he could not escape,

Chu He's face showed not the slightest trace of depression or panic.

He looked at Moria and replied calmly,

"I don't think running away from an SS-Rank Expert is a cowardly act."

"Since you insist on keeping me here, I can only unleash my full strength."

The instant his voice fell,

"Splash—"

The floor of the entire room turned into a bottomless black marsh without warning.

The cold water level submerged his ankles and quickly spread upward.

The walls, ceiling, and metal long table—everything twisted and dissolved within this marsh.

Chu He's figure also became blurred in the rising ripples, eventually turning into a stream of water and completely disappearing.

The entire room turned into an endless watery Domain.

Only the endless sound of flowing water echoed in the empty space.

Controlling Moria, Zhou Huai hovered quietly in mid-air, his deep eyes narrowing slightly.

A Domain.

It was actually a Domain skill.

Zhou Huai was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that Chu He, being so young, was already a legendary-level Professional who had mastered a Domain.

With this kind of talent, if he hadn't joined the Dawnbreaker Guild and instead been placed in the Great Xia Military Department, he would definitely be a top-tier military star in the future.

What a pity that he strayed onto the wrong path.

"Since you want to use a Domain, I'll play along with you."

A cold arc curled up the corner of Zhou Huai's mouth.

The next second,

Moria slowly opened his arms.

"Eternal Night."

He softly uttered these two words.

In an instant, all the light in the room, including the light refracted from the water surface, was instantly swallowed by an invisible force.

Absolute darkness descended.

Vision was completely deprived, and you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

It was as if the whole world had only the endless sound of flowing water left, echoing in the endless darkness, appearing exceptionally eerie.

…

At this moment, outside the meeting room,

everything was calm.

Neither any sound could be heard nor any energy fluctuations could be sensed.

Jasmine was also guarding outside the door, her exquisite face showing no expression at all as she just waited quietly.

Who could have thought that right now inside the door, two completely different Domains were engaged in a crazy confrontation.

At the entrance of the Eternal Night Guild base,

having just dismissed two Professionals who attempted to strike up a conversation with him,

Mo Hen started talking to himself.

"Should I save him or not?"

"Or maybe forget it, Mr. Duan probably won't feel heartbroken if one or two arrogant stinky men die."

However, after taking just two steps, he sighed helplessly again.

"Sigh, my heart is still too soft. I can't bear to watch him get captured alive; I must let him die a quick death."

Finished speaking, Mo Hen casually swiped his finger, and actually directly tore open space.

He walked straight in.

The few Professionals not far away who were still staring at him were dumbfounded one by one.

"What's the situation? How did a perfectly fine person suddenly disappear?"
