At this moment, the middle-aged man was certain that this young man had reached the domain realm. He remembered that there was no record of a young powerful domain realm master within the Federation. The middle-aged man was surprised. Did he just look young but in actual fact, he was old?

Ling Lan appeared nonchalant. However, in her heart, she was filled with excitement. Ever since she had entered the domain realm, besides the time when she fought with the commander of the special forces, this was the first time she met an opponent who was in the same realm as her. Ling Lan felt pressured but she was not scared. Instead she was filled with fighting spirit.

Rainbow rain continued to pour down. The rainbow rain of Planet Kachi would only stop after a few hours. Ling Lan and her opponent were not affected by the rain. They activated their protective shield which shielded them from the rain.

Almost at the same moment, the two people moved and struck a blow at each other. Both of them used their domain power.

Fights between domain realm masters usually ended with a single exchange. The one who won would always be the person with a higher level.

When the two forces collided, the energy generated caused the rainbow rain around them to fly back. A strange scene was formed, as the rainbow rain droplets moved back upwards into the sky.

The first batch of people to notice this huge commotion was Li Lanfeng and the rest of Ling Lan's friends who were chasing other small fries.

“It's boss,” Qi Long said while not forgetting to pull his trigger to snipe an enemy that was trying to sneak over.

“This kind of impact cannot be caused by a person with Qi-Jin level strength. Has our boss reached the domain realm?” Zhao Jun's eyes lit up. He always wanted to reach the domain realm. However, it was not something that could be done with only hard work. He had been stuck at the peak of Qi-Jin for a few years now and still hadn't comprehend the essence of advancing to the domain realm. No wonder so many people were stuck at Qi-Jin. Only the elite of the elite would be able to become a domain realm master and only the peak of that limited pool of people would be called a formidable warrior.

Li Lanfeng glanced at Ling Lan's direction and then retracted his gaze. He continued focusing on his front indifferently. However, from his tense fingers, you could tell that he was not as calm as he seemed.

He looked at the bunch of enemies that suddenly appeared in front of them. He reminded them with a cold and serious voice, “The enemy has increased their efforts. Everyone take note.”

Li Lanfeng immediately understood what had happened when he saw the countless of silhouettes. Their opponent must have chosen them as the point of breakthrough. To ensure their safety, Ling Lan went out and proactively sought a fight from their opponent's domain realm formidable warrior. That way, they would not need to face this strong opponent.

Li Lanfeng's reminder caused the other four people to become serious. They focused their attention back onto their enemies and continued sniping them.

The rainbow rain was beautiful. But, it was difficult to spot enemies hidden in various corners through the rainbow rain. This required much attention and focus from the five people. They couldn't be distracted.

Of the four defense points, Ling Lan's area had the most pressure. The rest of the points only had around 60 enemies while there were around 200 enemies at Ling Lan's defense point. Ling Lan was unlucky that the young man chose to focus his attack on this point.

“According to the information that we received, Sky Rank number 37 has been intercepted!” The young man was shocked when he got this news from his subordinate.

He was confident about this mission because Sky Rank number 37 accepted this mission. It was unexpected. Assassins who could get into the Sky Rank were all domain realm formidable warriors. Besides S level missions, they would normally not accept any other missions.

Killing Princess Gulibaduo was classified as an mission. If it wasn't for the fact that the protection around the princess might be strong and Qi-Jin masters might appear, this mission would not be so highly ranked.

The only good thing about this mission was that the rewards were extremely good. It was only slightly lesser than an S level mission. This might be why Sky Rank number 37 decided to take on this mission. He might have felt that an mission would be much easier than an S level mission. Many people liked to do some easy and highly-rewarding missions to increase their earnings as they could also take it as a break.

The arrival of someone from the Sky Rank increased the young man's confidence.No matter how many Qi-Jin masters there were, they wouldn't be able to subdue a domain realm master. Qi-Jin and domain were only one rank apart but the difference between them was huge. That was why the people who were below the domain realm were known as nobodies.

The young man believed that as long as number 37 was here, this mission would be as easy as taking a walk in the park. That was why he came to personally direct this mission. By right, high-ranking officers like them would not appear in the frontline.

However, unexpectedly, number 37 was intercepted the moment he was sent out. This meant that there was a hidden domain realm formidable warrior beside Princess Gulibaduo.

“I didn't expect the Balaya Kingdom to place so much importance in their third successor,” The young muttered to himself. He thought that the princess would be forsaken by her kingdom as there were two other princes ahead of her. He had researched before this mission started and found out that Balaya Kingdom didn't sent any bodyguards to protect the princess. They only asked the princess to disguise herself as a normal passenger and board the Feiyang Ship.

With the princess' capabilities, she could at most hire two expedition teams to protect her. However, they planned their attack based on an overestimation. They were wrong. The Balaya Kingdom didn't give up on the princess. They even sent a domain realm master to protect her.

“What happened?” A few middle-aged men who were waiting for news. When they saw the change in expression on the young man's face, one of them immediately asked him.

The young turned and said with a serious tone, “We predicted the difficulty of this mission wrongly. There is a domain realm master within our opponent team.”

The other men were stunned too. One of them jumped up in shock. “We must immediately change the level of this mission to S level.”

The young nodded. “I will.”

He thought for a while before deciding to speak the truth. “Sky Rank number 37 has met the opponent.” He had been hiding the fact that number 37 took part in this mission.

The other people were elated when they heard what he said. They felt relaxed. Since they had a domain realm master on their side, the situation was much better. It was still within their control.

The young man didn't feel at ease. He looked out of the window with a cold face. The rainbow rain was pouring heavily as he waved at his assistant.

The assistant passed him a pair of binoculars immediately. The young man looked at number 37's direction through the binoculars.

When Ling Lan's power collided with that of her opponent's, she immediately felt hot air coming from the other side.

“Fire-type energy?” Ling Lan's poker face changed slightly. Her ice-type energy was considered part of the water-type. Fire and water were natural enemies. As compared to the powerful fire-type energy, water-type energy was weaker. Her opponent had an elemental advantage over her.

As this thought flashed past her mind, her opponent's fire-type energy congregated into a fire dragon and rushed towards her mercilessly. Before she could react, it had engulfed her.

“Boom!” The fire dragon that swallowed Ling Lan exploded.

If someone with sharp eyes were watching her, he or she would have seen a few broken shards of ice coming out from the fire dragon. Those pieces of broken ice fell onto the ground with the rainbow rain, merging with it.

The flames that got separated, congregated together again and formed a figure. It was the domain realm warrior. He looked around him. Although his attack seemed to have hit his opponent just now, it didn't cause any harm.

“That blow was met with a huge resistance force. It almost rebounded my attack but since my force was greater, it went through the resistance. If not, the ending might be different… This kind of ability is similar to a protective shield. However, what is his domain element?” The middle-aged domain realm warrior frowned. He didn't manage to find out about his opponent's element just now. That was not good for him. “After the explosion, broken shards of glass appeared. However, there was no coldness in it so it is not ice-element. Is he a mutated earth-type master?”

“If that is the case, I must be careful of the ground.” The middle-aged domain warrior was clear about the elements and the things they could merge with. Earth-type energy would never merge with water. As compared to earth type, he was more frightened that his opponent would be an ice-type because that would mean that he could be attacked 360 degrees all around.

Once he reached his conclusion, he stared at the ground intently. If his opponent was really someone who had the earth element, the only way he could be attacked would be from the ground.

The middle-aged domain warrior was on his guard. A few minutes had passed. At this moment, he shivered. An impending sense of danger crept up from the depths of his heart. He never experienced this feeling before. Without a second thought, he changed into a ball of fire.

Suddenly, he felt his body was restricted in mid-air. What was happening? He didn't see anything coming out from the ground.

He knew that he was in a dire state. Hence, he released his domain realm. The area around him turned into a sea of fire. When the rainbow raindrops fell on the flame, they turned into steam and disappeared.

“Number 37 has activated his full domain power. He must have met a powerful opponent.” The young man turned even more serious when he saw the flames three kilometers away.

Number 37 was a fire-type warrior. He was within the top five in terms of attacking power. He was the number 37 in terms of overall rank because his attacks were too inflexible and his defense was weaker than the rest of the warriors.

However, when met with other domain warriors that were not on the Sky Rank, the young man was still confident about number 37's ability. He felt that he could have an even fight with someone that was in the peak of domain realm that wasn't listed in the Sky Rank. Yet, he was in a tense battle with the bodyguard of Princess Gulibaduo. The young man felt that he had underestimated domain realm warriors that weren't listed in the Sky Rank.

“Did you notice what element the other party has?” The middle-aged men looked through their binoculars too. They didn't look at ease anymore. They were not domain masters but from their experience, they could tell that number 37 was at a disadvantage. Most importantly, they couldn't see what element their opponent had. Only number 37's energy could be felt.

The young man smiled bitterly. “No!”

The young man felt that he had an abundance of information but yet, he couldn't find any data on number 37's opponent. He memorised everyone on the domain master's list but no one fitted the description. He felt helpless.

The middle-aged men didn't blame him. They were unable to figure out the identity of the opponent too. One of them consioled the young man. “The other party must be an old fox. That is why he could cover up his energy and element perfectly. The distance between us is too far so it is normal that we can't see some details. Maybe number 37 knows who he is. We just need to wait patiently.”

The young man nodded. Everyone thought that even if number 37 was not his opponent's match, he would still be able to escape. They would be able to find out the identity of the opponent after he came back.

When the middle-aged domain warrior activated his true domain power, he finally escaped from the restriction. Before he could relax, coldness started spreading throughout his body. It was so cold that his bones seemed to hurt.

His entire body fell down from mid-air with the sea of fire surrounding his body dimming. The rainbow rain extinguished the remaining flame. Everytime a flame died, the middle-aged man felt colder.

The middle-aged man tried to move his fire-type energy around his body to dissipate the cold. That was when he realized that ice shards had appeared in his bloodstream. Those ice shards caused his energy to fall apart.

“Your element is not earth but ice. I was fooled by you,” The middle-aged man gritted his teeth as he said that. He tried to get the ice shards out of his bloodstream. In the process of doing so, he burnt his own arteries. However, it was a price he was willing to pay. He could heal any internal injuries but if his body was overtaken by an element, he would die. He knew what was more important.

As the middle-aged man finished talking, he saw a faint figure appearing in the air.

“You are powerful. I lost. I just want to know how you remove the coldness from your ice element…” The middle-aged man was not furious as he chatted with his opponent calmly. If he just had a little bit more time, he would be able to get the ice shards out of his bloodstream. At that time, he would launch a surprise counterattack. He would not make the same mistake again and let his opponent plant ice shards in his bloodstream ever again.

However, Ling Lan didn't give him any chance. She said coldly, “Ice Blockade.” Then, she destroyed all of her opponent's hope.

The spot where Ling Lan was standing at turned into an ice world. Even the rainbow rain droplets turned into rainbow ice.

“How…” The middle-aged man looked at her in fear. Before he could finish his sentence, the ice shards in his body exploded. He turned into an ice statue. He died unwillingly. If he had one more second, he would be able to change the tides.

Ling Lan walked over slowly. She said in a low voice, “Whether it is in reality or on the television, the reason why people managed to counterattack was because their opponent talked too much. Do you think I will make such a low-level mistake?”

She snapped her fingers. The ice world exploded. Broken pieces of ice merged with the rain.

In an instant, the ice world disappeared. The rainbow rain continued pouring down. It seemed as though what had happened just now was just an illusion.

“Ding” A crystal-clear bead dropped on the ground.

Ling Lan was surprised. Her ice blockade was able to turn anything into ice. Once it exploded, all ice would break into pieces and disappeared. This bead must be a treasure of some sort.
