Chapter 529 - 369: Divine Field-Clearing Skill: 15,000-Kilometer Domain Crush

The spatial rift behind him silently sealed itself.

Ian stood on a barren, rocky plain, in no hurry to move.

He dismissed the Gravity Barrier he had used to conceal his presence. His aura, suppressed to its absolute limit, abruptly broke free from all restraints.

With a HUM, the entire Estelle Planet began to tremble!

An aura, blazing and pure, as vast as an abyss, erupted from Ian!

It was the complete might of a Morning Star, formed from five Rules condensed as one.

It was Order declaring war on Chaos, a cleansing of corruption by Purification.

Like an invisible tide, his aura instantly swept over the rock formations, permeated the soil, and surged into every Earth Vein.

In that instant, the entire Estelle World fell deathly silent.

In Deep Rock City.

Lumina, who was maintaining the Star Barrier, suddenly shuddered.

She felt an indescribably vast Will penetrate the thick rock layers and envelop Deep Rock City as gently as sunlight.

The Will held no malice, only a majesty that compelled one to kneel in reverence.

The Star Barrier spontaneously began to glow softly. Far from rejecting the Will, it seemed to rejoice like a child seeing its mother.

Lumina froze, tears streaming silently down her face. "It’s... Ian. He’s back."

At the same time, in every corner of the Underworld, the Mutant Beasts lurking in the darkness—creatures that had long since lost all reason—all froze at the exact same moment, whether they were slumbering in deep caverns or savagely devouring their own kind.

For the first time, fear surfaced in their crimson, chaotic eyes.

It was an instinctual reverence for a higher existence, stemming from the deepest strata of life itself—and a natural fear of Order.

Countless Mutant Beasts shrieked uneasily, pawing anxiously at the ground as they attempted to burrow into deeper caves.

But the aura ignored distance and obstruction, sweeping distinctly over every inch of the planet.

"Gaga, it’s time to begin."

Ian spoke softly. The little creature on his shoulder emerged from the shadows and lifted its head.

"Got it!" The little creature’s body instantly swelled, its wings unfolding to a hundred-meter span, its pupils flashing with excitement.

Ian closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking deep into his Sea of Spirit.

His Blazing Star Core was spinning at a constant frequency, encircled by a golden halo.

’Domain, expand.’ With a flicker of his will, an invisible Rule Fluctuation spread out.

The entire planet began to "bend" around him as the epicenter, with ripples automatically spreading outward.

One hundred kilometers, one thousand kilometers, ten thousand kilometers...

Finally, it stabilized at a boundary with a radius of fifteen thousand kilometers.

This was a direct, qualitative leap in his Domain’s range, a result of his Rules being condensed as one!

Within this region, the five Rules—Gravity, Thermal Energy, Purification, Time, and Earth—came together to form an absolute Domain where Ian’s Will was the sole sovereign!

His Gravity Perception, like invisible tentacles, instantly swept across the entire Domain.

Every Mutant Beast, every wisp of corrupting Energy in the air—everything was revealed in perfect clarity.

At the same time, thirteen "points of light" radiating powerful waves of corruption lit up clearly within his Perception.

Thirteen Level Four Mutant Beasts.

They were scattered across the world. Some had nested deep underground, while others were entrenched in ancient ruins.

And in the direction of the Central Continent... where the Eternal Star Dome was located.

There was another, even larger and more obscure presence, radiating an aura that made the heart tremble.

Like a dormant, ancient Fierce Beast, and even from a great distance, Ian could sense the malice and wariness it projected.

’I’ll start by clearing the periphery.’ Ian locked onto the northern tundra.

There, a "point of light" was moving at high speed. Its aura’s intensity was at the Level Four Middle Stage, and it specialized in Space Jumps.

’A high-speed Shadow Demon. You’re first.’ His form flickered, and he stepped into space, vanishing on the spot.

The northern tundra was a vast, frozen wasteland.

The dark purple fungal carpets grew exceptionally slowly here, but the corruption had long ago seeped deep into the ice.

A blurry shadow was flickering across the surface of the ice at high speed, covering dozens of kilometers with each flash.

It was as if it were both patrolling and fleeing.

The terrifying might that had just blanketed the world made it sense a mortal threat.

Ian’s figure appeared silently in the sky above the ice field.

The blurry shadow froze, revealing a humanoid silhouette completely cloaked in flowing Shadow.

It had no fixed facial features, only two points of crimson light that flickered where its head should be. Tiny spatial rifts constantly winked into and out of existence on the surface of its body.

"Shadow Demon," Ian’s voice was calm, carrying clearly on the cold wind.

The Shadow Demon’s crimson points of light flickered violently as it let out a piercing psychic shriek.

"Human... you should not... have returned..."

The intermittent transmission was laced with undeniable panic.

It could sense that the human before it was completely different from the "Insects" it had perceived earlier.

It was the sense of being utterly crushed on the level of Rules.

"Are you done? Then you can die."

Ian spread his fingers, fully unleashing the silver-gray Gravity Rule to directly twist and reinforce the spatial structure of the area.

The flickering spatial rifts on the swift Shadow Demon’s body abruptly winked out.

Its greatest strength, the ability to Space Jump, had been forcibly sealed by Ian!

"AARGH!"

The Shadow Demon let out a shriek of shocked fury, its form blurring as it tried to forcibly rip space apart.

But the surrounding space was as hard as a physical object. Its claws scraped across it, creating only a piercing shriek of friction, failing to stir even a single ripple.

’You’ll make for good practice. Time Prediction.’

Deep within Ian’s pupils, the golden halo brightened faintly.

In his vision, the trajectory of the Energy flowing within the Shadow Demon’s body, the telltale signs of its muscles tensing, even the "possibility" of its next "attempt" at movement...
