Before anyone could react to Shi Fengâs command, Alluring Summer and Shadow Swordâs auras washed over the battlefield. Everyone fell silent as they unconsciously turned toward the two players, dumbfounded.
âWhat powerful auras!â
âHow is this possible? Arenât Berserk Skills prohibited in the Auction Arena?â
The feeling of the two Zero Wing membersâ auras had changed completely. For a moment, everyone felt like they stood before two Grand Lord ranked monsters.
In Godâs Domain, players would determine their opponentâs strength based on their auras in situations where they couldnât inspect the opponentâs information. A playerâs aura couldnât be faked. Expert players, in particular, relied on this method to avoid unnecessary deaths.
The fact that Alluring Summer and Shadow Swordâs auras had abruptly grown stronger meant that their combat power had just increased.
However, players werenât allowed to use tools or Berserk Skills in the Auction Arena. No one on the battlefield could figure out how these two had suddenly become so powerful.
Blackwaterâs members paused their assault, shuddering, as they felt the sudden transformation. These experts stared at Zero Wingâs players in fear, too wary to attack.
Alluring Summer and Shadow Sword now displayed the auras of Domain Realm experts. If they attacked and exposed a weakness, this fight might end in an instant
âDonât be fooled!â Snow Scar shouted when he realized that his allied had stopped their assault. âNo one in this arena can use a Berserk Skill to increase their strength! They must be using some special Skill that increases the mental pressure other players feel Their combat power shouldnât have actually increased! They are merely putting up a front!â
Although weapons and equipment that increased the mental pressure oneâs enemies experienced were excruciatingly rare in Godâs Domain, they existed nevertheless.
âDamn! That really spooked me! I almost thought that Zero Wing had two more monsters!â
âBlack Flame nearly fooled me, too. It really would be heaven-defying if Zero Wing had another two monster-level experts.â
âI will admit, though, that Zero Wing is pretty impressive to get its hands on such weapons and equipmentâ
âThatâs right! Iâve only heard of such items before today. Iâve never actually seen one. Although such items wonât improve oneâs combat power, a stronger aura can affect an opponentâs mental state and slow their reactions. Such items would be incredibly useful in PvP.â
When they heard Snow Scarâs comment, realization dawned on the various major powersâ experts watching from a distance. They all agreed with his reasoning. It would simply be too horrific if Zero Wing had truly revealed more monster-level experts.
âWeapons and equipment that strengthen auras?â Sword Demon muttered to himself as he glanced at Alluring Summer and Shadow Sword. He then shook his head and smiled at Shi Feng, âAnd here I thought you were going to reveal another powerful trump card. It seems youâre at your witâs end. Although such weapons and equipment would be awesomely effective in PvP, Iâm afraid mere gimmicks are useless against experts who have experienced countless battles. At best, they might delay your playersâ fate.â
âIs that so?â Shi Feng replied with a calm smile.
Suddenly, the atmosphere around Shi Feng changed. Like Alluring Summer and Shadow Swordâs transformations, Shi Fengâs aura became considerably more powerful. Space around him even began to blur.
Sensing this change, Sword Demonâs expression darkened.
If Shi Fengâs aura had resembled a great ocean that could even stifle peak experts, those who bathed in it now felt as if they had been submerged in mercury. Shi Fengâs aura felt incomparably heavy, and even Sword Demon struggled to breathe.
âYouâŚâ Fear flashed in Sword Demonâs eyes as he stared at Shi Feng.
He was an expert that stood at the apex of Godâs Domain, a player that every superpower feared, yet he felt the threat of death loom over him as he stood before Shi Feng.
He felt as if he were standing before a humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex, rather than another player!
Moreover, Shi Fengâs control of his aura was exceptional. Sword Demon could tell that Shi Feng had restrained his aura to his immediate surroundings, so no one but him sensed how horrifying it truly was.
âDo you still think that Iâm just trying to buy time?â Shi Feng smiled at Sword Demon.
Secret Laws werenât categorized as Skills or Spells, resembling combat techniques instead. They didnât improve playersâ Basic Attributes, only allowing players to exhibit more of their bodiesâ potential. Hence, players could freely use Secret Laws within the Auction Arena, and they didnât need to worry about their Secret Laws dropping if they died. The system didnât actually consider the deaths players suffered in the Auction Arena as official.
This was why Secret Laws were so valuable. The various superpowers had even offered to trade Epic Set Equipment for a Basic Secret Law during Shi Fengâs previous life since the Secret Laws would be far more effective in the Auction Arenas than Epic Set Equipment
The physique improvement Secret Laws provided was secondary, however. More importantly,
Secret Laws allowed players to enter a super-sensory state. In this state, playersâ senses became so sharp that they could perceive things they couldnât normally detect. Of course, how useful this was would depend on the player.
As soon as Shi Feng finished speaking, Sword Demon had an extremely bad premonition.
Sword Demon felt that the younger Swordsmanâs smile looked like the expression one would use when mocking an ignorant fool. Moreover, Shi Feng looked down at him as if he were watching an ant Sword Demon had seen that expression on many powerhouses before.
He hadnât been able to determine whether or not the change to Alluring Summer and Shadow Swordâs auras was truly related to a combat power increase, but after experiencing Shi Fengâs enhanced aura, he was absolutely certain that this transformation wasnât due to a weapon or equipment effect Rather, it was a by-product of their combat power increasing.
âRetreat?â
âWhy are we retreating?â
The players from Starlink and Blackwater were confused when they heard the command.
Victory was already within reach. As long as they kept fighting for another minute or so, theyâd win, yet Sword Demon wanted them to flee?
âSword Demon has gone too far with his affection for talented individuals.â Blindman frowned at Sword Demonâs warning.
âIs that really the case?â Mu Cheng, who stood beside Blindman, wondered as he watched the old monsterâs tense expression. No matter how he looked at it, that expression didnât look like affection. It looked like Sword Demon was terrified.
When Sword Demon saw his alliesâ confusion, his anxiety grew, but as he was about to explain, he heard the sound of laughter.
âItâs too late to escape now!â
The moment this voice reached his ears, Sword Demon instinctively brandished his greatsword, swinging the weapon at Shi Feng, who had suddenly appeared before him. The older Swordsman instantly split into three clones, each launching multiple attacks with the Strength to suppress Grand Lords of the same level.
This was Sword Demonâs final trump card and his weaponâs strongest Additional Skill, Phantom Assault
In his hands, this Skill could even kill Domain Realm experts in an instant if they didnât activate an Invulnerability Skill.
However, Shi Feng easily deflected the dozen or so attacks with his Killing Ray, displaying far faster reaction speed than before.

Shadow Blade!
Ten sword lights flew toward Sword Demon simultaneously, each aiming for his weak points, but not to be outdone, Sword Demon executed an Advanced Defensive Combat Technique to evade the incoming attacks.
One attack⌠Two attacks⌠Three attacksâŚ
After blocking the seventh sword light, Sword Demon hit his limit, and the three remaining attacks tore through his body. The last two-thirds of his HP vanished instantly.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Alluring Summer and Shadow Sword had made their move, slaying the two Blackwater peak experts they faced within two or three moves. With this turn of events, the battlefield fell deathly silent
