Buzz!

The Divine Boat lit up, and the gate opened. An Wu and a few others flew out immediately towards the crashing waves and the huge Chaos Beast within. The Divine Boat lit up and then darkened again, disappearing into the sea. It turned sharply and flew as fast as it could in the other direction, traveling double its speed before.

Hoo-hoo!

Jiang Yi and company dared not look at the Chaos Beasts anymore after what An Wu said. They closed their eyes and protected their hearts instead. The feeling they got earlier was way too scary. It felt almost like their soul spirits were about to be hooked by the Chaos Beasts. Their soul spirits threatened to leave their bodies and scatter around.

Bang!

A frustrated sound beside him shocked Jiang Yi. He opened his eyes, and his expression changed almost immediately. The Black Deity fell over onto the floor, his face a mask of pain. His usually cool expression looked deformed now. It was obvious that his soul spirit was undergoing immense pain.

“Black Deity!”

Jiang Yi quickly held onto the Black Deity. He started to send some of his heavenly powers into the Black Deity’s soul spirit to help the latter recuperate. He Wei took a glance at them and pulled Jiang Yi back at once. “Don’t move about. This little demon spirit has been badly injured. Your heavenly powers will only injure his soul spirit even more. Give him some spirit-nourishing spirit herbs so that he can heal on his own.”

Buzz!

Jiang Yi’s ring lit up, and he retrieved several spirit-nourishing elixirs from inside it before feeding the Black Deity with it. After a while, the Black Deity’s pain finally relieved slightly. He leaned back against the wall to rest. Many other people on the Divine Boat were injured as well. There were cries of pain coming from all directions. Some people were even writhing on the ground.

“Shut up, everyone! Or I will throw all of you out.”

An Ying had been focused on An Wu and the two others who were leading the Chaos Beast away. At last, he lost his temper. After this warning, everyone immediately bit back their cries, despite feeling like they were going to die from the pain. They knew that if they were thrown out, they would perish or sure.

“Don’t worry. They cannot kill this Primitive-Grade Chaos Beast, but it has little to no intelligence at all. It’s easy to lure it away. While we are in the Divine Boat, and as long as we don’t meet Ancient-Grade Chaos Beasts, we will not be in any danger.”

He Wei sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi, his expression completely relaxed. Jiang Yi looked out at the Chaos Beast far away which he could faintly see. It was still creating raging waves in the sea. He still felt a remnant of fear in his heart. “How strong is this Chaos Beast? Why can’t they kill it?”

“It’s not that they can’t kill it!”

He Wei turned around to glance at An Ying and the others before continuing, “In the Earth Domain, martial artists are split into three realms according to their overall combat strength. People like us are the most unskilled; thus, we don’t belong to any realm. Other than that, some people are referred to as Martial Generals, Martial Kings, and Martial Thearchs. In the Demon-Killing Pavilion, these are called the Demon-Killing Battle General, Demon-Killing Battle King, and Demon-Killing Battle God. In the Earth Emanations Pavilion, these are called the Ghost Emanations, Earth Emanations, and Heaven Emanations. In the Battle God Pavilion, these are called the God Generals, God Kings, and God Thearchs. All of their names are different, but they mean the same thing.

“Chaos Beasts are correspondingly split into three kinds: the Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts, the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beasts, and the Primordial-Grade Chaos Beasts. Martial artists cannot kill Chaos Beasts of the same corresponding rank. These ten or so Earth Emanations soldiers are only Ghost Emanations. Lord An Ying may be a bit stronger; he’s probably a peak-stage Ghost Emanations. However, to kill a Chaos Beast would still be very difficult for him…”

“Ghost Emanations, Earth Emanations, Heaven Emanations? Demon-Killing Battle Generals, Demon-Killing Battle Kings, Demon-Killing Battle Gods? God Generals, God Kings, God Thearchs?”

Jiang Yi tried to make a mental note of all of these titles. He was beginning to understand the realms in the Higher Domain a bit better. He kept his sights far and watched An Wu and the two others attack the Chaos Beast. Each time they did so, they flew in the opposite direction, leading the Chaos Beast further away from the boat. Jiang Yi heaved a long sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, “You keep talking about this ‘Earth Domain’. What exactly is that? Is it not called the Higher Domain?”

Jiang Yi’s voice was low. Everyone else in the Divine Boat was having their own discussions. An Ying and company were also focused on the battle far away so he did not bother too much about them either. He Wei paused for a while and then sent another voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “We only refer to it generally as the ‘Higher Domain’. However, this world is split into three domains: the Heaven Domain, the Earth Domain, and the Mortal Domain. The Mortal Domain is the Lower Domain. Ordinary people live there. This is the Earth Domain. According to my father, there are still several huge domains above, and we call those the Heaven Domain. However, until we become what we call Demon-Killing Battle Gods, we will have no way of entering that domain…”

“This!”

Jiang Yi sucked in a deep breath. This world was so big. It seemed even bigger than how he imagined it. This world was more complicated than he thought as well!

Since he could no longer cultivate now, He Wei patiently explained these things to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and said, “If I want to go to other domains, how strong must I be?”

“You must at least be a high-stage Demon-Killing Battle King, I guess!”

He Wei thought for a moment and gave Jiang Yi an ambiguous answer. “Once you become a Demon-Killing Battle God, you can travel between domains as and when you like. If you reach the high stages as a Demon-Killing Battle King, you would probably have an insane amount of riches. I guess that you would also know many important people. When that time comes, you would probably easily be able to find someone to help you travel to other domains.”

Jiang Yi muttered to himself for a while and then asked a very practical question. “What is your father’s cultivation level? How long has it been since he ascended?”

“My father?”

He Wei’s face flushed red. Arrogantly, he said, “My father has only ascended to the Earth Emanations Domain for a year, hehe. He has just become a Demon-Killing Battle King and has just been made a commander as well. My father is the top talent of these one million years from my realm.”

A year in the Higher Domain was a hundred years in the Lower Domain! A hundred years had already passed, and he had only just become a Demon-Killing Battle King… 

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say. How long would he need to become a Demon-Killing Battle God? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? Or would he not even be able to achieve it in this lifetime?

Swish! Swish! Swish!

While he was pondering these things on his own, he saw a figure traveling toward him from far away, within the waves. Following closely behind were two other people. An Ying looked more relaxed now. He waved his hand and said, “Open the gates. Continue traveling evasively.”

The gate opened, and An Wu and his two companions entered. Three of them had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, and their faces all looked pale. It was obvious they were injured. The moment they entered, they went into the front cabin wordlessly. The Divine Boat was peaceful once again. Jiang Yi and the rest went back to cultivating.

Some time later, Jiang Yi and the rest were once again jolted away by the aura of a Chaos Beast. This time, everyone knew what to do. They did not look at the Chaos Beast. Instead, they sat cross-legged where they were, closed their eyes, and guarded their hearts. An Ying sent three people out to lure the Chaos Beast away once again, but only two people returned.

“Little Brother, don’t say anything! Don’t anger Lord An Ying and the rest.”

He Wei took one look at An Ying, whose expression was extremely cold and dark and then quickly turned to Jiang Yi and sent a voice transmission. Jiang Yi shot a look at the Black Deity. He did not dare to make a sound as well. The other people were smart, too. None of them wanted to anger An Ying and the rest. They knew that doing so would only lead to their deaths.

The Divine Boat continued to travel forward. They met many Chaos Beasts along the way, but the Divine Boat had a strong evasive-type array formation. Thus, they encountered no danger along the way. Jiang Yi and the rest kept cultivating in silence. Once two blood moons set, the Divine Boat finally flew out of the Earth Emanations Sea. The scene below was replaced with groups of mountains instead.

The sky in the east lit up slightly. A huge purple sun rose to the top of the sky, lighting up the entire cold region. Many people in the Divine Boat, including Jiang Yi and company, stopped cultivating. They looked down curiously at the mountains.

There seemed to be no road below at all. There were innumerable peaks and valleys, with lakes and creeks everywhere. Ancient trees were seen soaring towards the sky, and thorns were plunged into the ground. There was no such view in the Stellarsky Domain. Jiang Yi had no idea what kind of insects and dangers awaited him in this place.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Just as Jiang Yi was appreciating the view, ten or so Divine Boats appeared in mid-air, stopping his Divine Boat. One by one, frightening auras engulfed Jiang Yi and the rest. A cold voice spoke up and echoed throughout the surroundings. “Hand in all the treasures in your hands, as well as divine roots. Whoever dares to resist will be killed immediately!”

Jiang Yi blinked and turned to He Wei. “There are mountain bandits in the Higher Domain, too?”

“Keke!”

He Wei looked absolutely calm as he replied, “Where there are people, there will be gangs and bandits. The gods in the Higher Domain are people at heart. Of course, there are bandits here too. However, here, they are called god bandits. Don’t worry. Sit back and prepare to watch a good show. The Battle God Pavilion, Earth Emanations Pavilion, and Demon-Killing Pavilion are not to be trifled with here!”
