Chapter 186: The Devil’s Plan B
After Aldrian’s display of power, the devils finally regained some clarity. Although those with lower cultivation levels struggled to control the nature of their negative energy, they weren’t entirely foolish. Watching Aldrian hover in the air, effortlessly dominating the battle, they hesitated to charge recklessly. There was something about Aldrian that felt distinctly off to them.
However, Aldrian didn’t wait for them to approach. After devastating everything within a five-kilometer radius in front of him, he prepared to unleash another technique outside his domain. This time, he created a massive spear using the fire element, combining it with the power wind laws. Once the spear was ready, he aimed it at the distant devils who were reluctant to come any closer.
The devils who saw the spear aimed at them felt a chill and began to flee frantically to avoid the impact. Watching their retreating figures, Aldrian didn’t give them another chance. He immediately sent the giant spear hurtling toward them, which instantly breaking the sound barrier before it struck its target.
BOOM!!!
The spear exploded on impact, with flames spreading outward like ocean waves. Fire engulfed a vast area of the battlefield, but it was clear to all that its power was weaker than the lightning attack, reaching only the strength of a low king stage. Aldrian nodded at this second test, beginning to understand how his techniques and domain functioned together.
The first test was to see if creating his technique within the domain and then sending it outside would allow it to retain the domain’s power. The result showed that it did indeed maintain the domain’s strength, even beyond his domain.
The second test was to see if he could create his technique outside of his domain from the beginning, while he remained inside the domain. The result showed that he couldn’t transfer his domain’s power to the technique this way, making it significantly weaker.
With these two experiments, he now had a better understanding of his ability and how to utilize it in the future. He then looked toward the devil army, which seemed to be preparing something in the distance. Suddenly, the entire battlefield trembled as a pillar of red light erupted from the center of the devils’ army. Everyone’s eyes widened as they looked at the light, realizing exactly what the devils were trying to do.
The Rivas family’s commander looked toward the red light, feeling his heart tighten with unease. He could also sense a pressure stronger than any being on the battlefield. With a swift slash of his halberd, he struck the devil’s commander and then put some distance between them.
