“Hmph, I didn't expect there to be a genius like you in this Universe Mercenary Alliance apprentice mercenary assessment,” Caesar, the leader of the space pirates, said with a very solemn tone.
Having been able to grow to Universe Rank and survive in the universe, becoming the leader of the space pirates, he had a deep understanding of the geniuses in the universe.
The young man in front of him did not look old, but with his Astral Rank First Stage cultivation, he killed all of his pirate group's thousands of Astral Rank subordinates.
Even he himself would find it difficult to complete this in a short period of time; this was an invincible strength at the Astral Rank.
“Now your assessment mission is complete. As long as you leave Cloud Top World now, I will let you go,” Caesar said.
“Father,” the Astral Rank Ninth Stage youth beside him called out anxiously when he heard Caesar’s words. However, Caesar waved his hand to stop him.
“I also didn’t expect there to be a Universe Rank expert among the space pirates,” Qin Hao said, carefully observing Caesar. “However, I’m not interested in your proposal. I’m more interested in why you’ve stayed in Cloud Top World all this time.”
As Qin Hao spoke, he observed the changes in Caesar’s expression, hoping to glean some information from it.
A Universe Rank expert willingly becoming a pirate and entrenched in a dilapidated World Lord world must have a reason.
After all, a typical World Lord world, after its appearance, would be plundered by defeated opponents, and then again by various discoverers, its value constantly diminishing until it became a place for training.
Hearing Qin Hao’s words, Caesar’s expression changed, and his eyes became cold.
“It’s still not too late for you to leave now,” Caesar issued his final warning, releasing his genetic energy to envelop Qin Hao.
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Caesar, Qin Hao did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward, expressing his decision through his actions.
“Good, good, good. Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish.” Caesar drew his longsword and attacked Qin Hao.
Qin Hao’s movements were also swift. The Five Elements Ring in his hand rapidly disintegrated, transforming into a longsword, and collided with Caesar.
“Bang!”
With a simple collision, both men used their most primal strength. The moment they collided, both of their figures simultaneously retreated, and the look in their eyes changed.
Caesar’s eyes were filled with shock, and he looked at Qin Hao with apprehension.
In the recent exchange, he hadn’t gained much of an advantage. This was a difference of an entire major rank, a thousandfold difference in power, yet he was still at a disadvantage.
“How is this possible? How is this possible?” In Caesar’s eyes, this was utterly impossible, and he couldn't figure out how Qin Hao had done it.
“How exactly did you do that?” Caesar asked in a deep voice.
“Guess,” Qin Hao said indifferently, his figure disappearing from the spot as he attacked Caesar.
This was also Qin Hao’s first battle against a Universe Rank expert, and he had some anticipation for it.
Powerful forces continuously collided. The sword techniques in Qin Hao’s hand constantly changed, and the two gradually became entangled.
In the continuous battle, Caesar grew increasingly anxious.
From a space pirate to a Universe Rank, Caesar had also gone through countless battles and could be considered a genius. However, he was now gradually falling into a disadvantage.
“Damn it, don’t celebrate too early. Let me show you the true power of an expert!” With that, a blue light flickered around Caesar, enveloping the surroundings, and the surrounding mist was also stirred by this blue Domain.
“Water Domain.” Seeing the Domain that enveloped him, Qin Hao was slightly surprised.
Although the power of Domain seemed common in the original work, in reality, everyone who could comprehend Domain was extraordinary.
One must know that whether it was Babata knowing Hong had comprehended Domain, or Hong and others receiving attention and being absorbed into Virtual Universe Corporation, Domain was highly valued.
It was only because in the later Genius Battle, Domain almost became the standard for geniuses, and comprehending Law became the new standard.
However, it must be known that those were the standards across the entire Ganwu Universe Country and all of humanity’s territory.
In the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, comprehending Domain before reaching Domain Lord was already considered a good genius and would receive attention from various forces.
However, now he actually saw a Domain on a space pirate.
However, Caesar’s Domain was not high, only at the second layer. For Qin Hao, the impact of such a Domain was very limited.
“That’s right, it’s the Water Domain, a powerful ability that only a Domain Lord can master.” Caesar said, becoming arrogant, as if Qin Hao was already his prey, an inescapable target.
Even a genius, if he hasn’t grown up, is just a genius. In front of an expert, there is only the outcome of being slaughtered.
However, before Caesar could rejoice, a powerful fluctuation rapidly spread from Qin Hao’s body. Caesar’s Domain was instantly suppressed, its range continuously shrinking, only remaining on his body surface, and the surrounding pressure continuously increased, like waves, constantly impacting his Domain.
At this moment, Caesar was like a small boat in a giant wave, capable of capsizing at any moment. After capsizing, the result would be being directly swallowed by the giant wave.
“Just a Domain, and coincidentally, I can do it too,” Qin Hao said to Caesar, his tone very calm, as if he had said something insignificant.
“I can also do something stronger than Domain.” Qin Hao stirred a trace of Water Law power and integrated it into the Domain.
Instantly, the Domain seemed to transform into a vast ocean.
Originally, the Domain only drove the surrounding cosmic energy. Now, the entire Domain had become like a physical entity, and the seawater in the vast ocean continuously squeezed Caesar.
Caesar was like an ordinary person swallowed by the ocean, wanting to escape, but any struggle was useless.
His once proud Domain instantly shattered.
“Help…” Before the sound could even escape, the seawater directly poured in.
“Father!” The young man and woman beside them, seeing Caesar defeated by Qin Hao, quickly rushed towards the two of them.
However, as soon as they stepped into the Domain, they were enveloped by its powerful force, fixed in place, unable to move at all.
“Ah, ah, ah!” With cries of anguish, a faint blue light on the young man’s body tried to spread but was instantly suppressed.
“Oh, I didn’t expect there to be two who comprehended Domain,” Qin Hao was truly surprised. He hadn't expected to encounter two individuals who comprehended Domain among the space pirates, and they were father and son.
“Killing them directly would be a bit of a waste.” Being able to comprehend Domain meant they were decent geniuses. One Universe Rank and one Astral Rank, they still had some use for Qin Hao at the moment.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao stopped pondering. Five-colored light flickered in his eyes, and three beams of light shot out from his eyes, merging into the foreheads of Caesar and the Three God Ancestors.
