Then, the bodies of the wolf cavalry cracked like porcelain, covered in fissures from head to toe, and suddenly exploded, bursting into countless fragments of flesh and blood that scattered in all directions. The sky was drenched in blood, and the ground turned crimson. It was a gruesome sight, enough to shake the soul of anyone who witnessed it.
Tens of thousands of wolf cavalry—elite troops formed into a battle formation—were annihilated in an instant before Yi Tianxing. Not even a single blow could be blocked. They were utterly slaughtered.
It was truly brutal and merciless.
Boom!!
The ground shook violently. Suddenly, a massive earth-yellow dragon burst out from the earth. It stretched over a hundred zhang in length, an enormous creature whose sheer presence struck terror into the hearts of all. Its dragon claws, horns, and scales were vividly lifelike, and its eyes shimmered with a mysterious spirit.
Once the true dragon emerged, it didn't hesitate. It cast a cold gaze upon the many beastman warriors in front of it.
"A dragon—it's actually a real dragon!"
"This dragon radiates spiritual energy—this isn't an illusion! It's real! So powerful! It carries the aura of a true dragon. This is... a domain! The domain of a Law Manifestation Realm expert!"
A wave of panic swept through the beastman warriors. They immediately realized they were in serious trouble.
Domain—one of the hallmark powers of the Law Manifestation Realm. It allowed a cultivator to manifest their Life Map as a tangible domain, spreading out with a mere thought. In essence, it was a deeper application of the Life Map's power. Whether in terms of strength or utility, it far surpassed anything from the Life Map Realm.
Once within a domain, any life form would be suppressed. Out of ten parts of one's power, only three might remain. The domain master held an overwhelming advantage, turning the battlefield into their home ground.
The domain's power could evolve according to the abilities of the user's Life Map. Its might partly depended on its coverage area. At first, a newly advanced Law Manifestation Realm cultivator might only cover a small range—around ten zhang or even less—but as their cultivation deepened, the domain would grow in both scope and power.
"Within the domain, I am invincible"—this was no empty boast for those of the Law Manifestation Realm.
"Damn it! That Behemoth King totally screwed me! King Yi's domain even covers the entire battlefield! That true dragon alone spans over a hundred zhang. This is a trap from hell!"
Pig Gut bemoaned loudly, feeling completely tricked and trapped this time.
"Kill!!"
The Silver Behemoth let out a cold snarl, sweeping a chilling glare at Pig Gut before giving a thunderous command.
Suddenly, light surged from his body. He stepped forward in giant strides.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With every step, the earth trembled. His body began to swell rapidly, like a balloon being inflated. In the blink of an eye, he had grown to over ten zhang tall.
First step: 15 zhang
Second step: 23 zhang
Third step: 35 zhang
With each step, his size expanded explosively. By the time he stood in the center of the battlefield, he had transformed into a colossal Silver Behemoth nearly 90 zhang tall. His silver-white fur radiated like fire. His feet became sharp claws, and his hands transformed into silver talons. A fierce, violent aura erupted from his body, creating a terrifying gale around him.
Behemoth. Silver Behemoth!!
The moment he revealed his true form, his terrifying energy exploded outward. He was now an unstoppable force on the battlefield—more fearsome than even a giant. Behemoths were born for war.
"I don't care if you're King Yi—if it's war you want, then let's have a glorious one! My Behemoth race has never feared battle!"
The beastman general Meng Da roared furiously.
"General Meng, allow me to assist you!"
Pig Gut didn't hesitate. A strange light flickered in his hand as he thrust a wooden stake engraved with mysterious patterns into the ground. A green halo radiated outward, spreading across the battlefield and covering all the beastman warriors. Comfort flooded their faces.
"Healing Totem!! A Totem Shaman!!"
Yi Tianxing's eyes narrowed in surprise. He hadn't expected this pig-headed creature to be a Totem Shaman.
Totem Shamans were the most revered and crucial of the beastmen professions. Rare in number, they possessed powers far beyond regular shamans, particularly in support and battlefield control. In large-scale battles, a Totem Shaman could turn the tide with a single totem.
What made totem auras terrifying was their continuous and long-lasting nature. The effects weren't fleeting but could persist and compound—greatly influencing the outcome of a battle.
In the beastman hierarchy, a Totem Shaman was akin to a human peerless general, capable of swaying the entire battlefield. Each wielded multiple totemic powers, many of which enhanced allies, though some also dealt devastating damage.
Now, the Healing Totem glowed brilliantly, and all beastman soldiers on the battlefield were rapidly recovering. Even injuries sustained during the fight healed at visible speed.
This shift in power could very well reverse the tide of war.
"Warriors! Attack together! Kill King Yi, and the Behemoth King will reward you handsomely! This shaman will stake his life on it today!"
Pig Gut screeched, eyes glowing wildly.
One after another, totem poles flared into existence and were stabbed into the ground.
⚡ Lightning Totem — Clouds gathered, lightning crackled. Thunder boomed as massive bolts rained down like a storm, crashing toward Yi Tianxing and the Yellow Dragon.
🪨 Stone Skin Totem
🐃 Bull Demon Totem
🦅 Eagle Totem
🐆 Leopard Totem
🐘 Savage Elephant Totem
🩸 Bloodlust Totem
Each totem unleashed a radiant aura, enveloping the beastman army.
Under the effect of so many totems, the warriors surged with newfound power, their eyes glowing red, their bodies swelling. Even the Silver Behemoth ballooned further, his body reaching over a hundred zhang tall.
"Kill!!"
Meng Da let out a furious cry. He strode forward and slashed with his claw. A silver talon tore through the air toward the Yellow Dragon, its sharp edges glowing cold. The space around it distorted under the sheer force.
This was pure physical might. At over a hundred zhang tall, Meng Da's every move carried millions of jin in force. With that concentrated power, his claw strike could shred almost anything.
The claw strike was perfect—refined from countless battles. It aimed to kill directly and violently.
Behemoths could hunt dragons, even slay gods and demons. Once engaged, they didn't care what they faced—everything was prey.
The Yellow Dragon didn't hesitate. It raised a claw and collided directly with Meng Da's strike.
Boom!!
But Meng Da was a seasoned fighter. At the moment of impact, he twisted his motion—grabbing instead of slashing, clutching the Yellow Dragon's claw tightly. His muscles surged, trying to rip the limb clean off.
With the strength of all those totem buffs, he felt invincible—ready to tear even the void apart.
But it was a miscalculation.
The Yellow Dragon's claw didn't budge. Instead, a whip-like tail lashed out, smashing Meng Da and sending him tumbling backward. His silver blood sprayed from his mouth, and cracks appeared across his massive body.
Yet, under the Healing Totem, the cracks rapidly closed. His warlust only grew stronger. Under the Bloodlust Totem, his blood boiled with fury.
"Kill!!"
The beastman army, now intoxicated with strength and rage, roared and charged toward Yi Tianxing.
"Totem Shamans are indeed interesting... But you still know nothing of true power. You don't even understand what you're truly facing."
"Within my domain, there is no second outcome—only death."
Yi Tianxing spoke coldly.
Though intrigued by the Totem Shaman, his resolve didn't waver.
He took another step forward.
This time, in the void, a golden Thunder Dragon materialized, its claws sweeping through the sky—devouring every last bolt of lightning from the storm above as if they were mere delicacies.
