Chapter 017: Du Fan’s Domain

Du Fan gritted his teeth, flipped his left wrist, and the Holy Radiance Staff appeared in his hand. As he held the staff, the energy stored in the multicolored stone surged toward him like an ocean. This massive flow of energy passed through Du Fan’s left hand, up his left arm and left shoulder, then his right shoulder, before finally flowing from his right hand into the Thunder Sword. Starting from the Thunder Sword, waves of destructive energy from the Earth Roar were unleashed toward the Earth Bear!

Under the support of the energy stored in the Holy Radiance Staff, the energy waves emitted by the Earth Bear quickly weakened. The Earth Bear’s ultra-forbidden magic, the Earth Roar, was somehow suppressed by Moses, Du Fan, and Naixiu working together. If this forbidden magic had been unleashed, entire Bear City might have been destroyed! Not only that, but even the soldiers and civilians in Bear City would likely have perished along with it!

After suppressing the release of the Earth Roar, Moses stood firm, leaning on his War Sword, his body covered in blood as if he had just been pulled from a sea of blood.

“Brother Moses!” Seeing his condition, Du Fan rushed forward, took out a cup of Water from the Fountain of Life from his storage ring, and quickly gave it to Moses to drink.

With the support of the Holy Radiance Staff and its absolute protective effects, Du Fan’s situation improved significantly. At this point, he only felt a bit exhausted.

The Earth Roar was originally just a forbidden magic, but the Earth Bear that had signed a contract with Xiong Tingbi had already reached the level of a domain master. Being a earth-type magical beast, it also had advantages in earth-based magic. When unleashed by this domain-level Earth Bear, the Earth Roar turned into a terrifying ultra-forbidden magic!

If such a forbidden magic were unleashed, its energy could be described as apocalyptic. Suppressing such energy was nothing short of miraculous!

Relying on the strength of the three domain masters and the massive energy stored in the Holy Radiance Staff, they finally managed to suppress this ultra-forbidden magic.

After drinking the Water from the Fountain of Life, Moses’s spirit was revived!

On the other side, Naixiu, unaffected, was drawing her long bow, her arrow firmly aimed at Xiong Tingbi.

“Elder Bear King, when you use such magic through your contracted magic beasts, do you even consider the people of Bear City?” Du Fan demanded fiercely, looking at Xiong Tingbi.
Of course, if Du Fan weren’t responsible for the entire Bear City, he would simply need to join forces to suppress the destructive energy spreading to the Northern Legion. If that were the case, Du Fan and Moses wouldn’t have to go through such trouble at all.
Hearing Du Fan’s question, Xiong Tingbi suddenly sighed. “I’d rather die than live in disgrace, but I really couldn’t imagine that you’d manage to suppress that magic entirely.”
“Elder Bear King, it’s not our Green Family who wants this. It’s an order from our prince. He says that your Icebound Alliance is harboring remnants of the Purple Blossom faction, and he’s ordered our Green Family to eliminate them,” Du Fan said.
“I know what you’re saying. Haha, since your Prince Fischer wants to go to war with us, does he even need a reason? But to be defeated by your Green Family’s Northern Legion, I, Xiong Tingbi, am truly convinced!” Xiong Tingbi said in a somewhat despondent tone.
“Elder Bear King, do you still want to fight, or surrender?” Du Fan asked, staring at him.
“Hahahahahaha! Who would have thought that I, Xiong Tingbi, would end up surrendering today! How ridiculous! Truly ridiculous!” Hearing Du Fan’s words, Xiong Tingbi suddenly burst into loud laughter.
With that laugh, the buildings within over 200 meters of Xiong Tingbi started shaking! Sand and stones on the buildings kept falling off due to the vibrations. That laugh carried the aura of a hero at the end of his journey.
“What are you talking about, Elder Bear King? Actually, my idea is this: since you’ve already been defeated, you should accept it. As long as you promise not to cause trouble in our rear area anymore, I’ll allow you to take charge of the entire Bear Kingdom,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“That’s impossible! If I do that, I’ll become a traitor! What will the people of the other duchies think of me?” Xiong Tingbi rejected it outright.
“If that’s the case, we’ll have no choice but to capture you, Elder Bear King,” Du Fan said seriously.
“Haha, you really want to capture me! Hmph! I, Xiong Tingbi, would rather die in battle than live as a captive!” Hearing Du Fan’s words, Xiong Tingbi retorted fiercely.
Immediately after his words, Du Fan’s Wind Binding was activated.

When the Wind Binding was first used on Rob, it took him a long time to break free. Xiong Tingbi, a saint-level expert already exhausted, couldn’t even resist Du Fan’s Wind Binding! Soon, trapped in the air-deprived Wind Binding, Xiong Tingbi finally stopped moving. Du Fan stopped releasing the binding, and immediately, the already unconscious Xiong Tingbi fell to the ground. The release of Earth’s Roar had already drawn many soldiers from the northern legions, and at that moment, Allen arrived as well. “Second brother, take this old Bear King away,” Du Fan said to Allen. “This old guy is so powerful. I’m afraid even if he’s locked up, he’ll still be hard to deal with!” Allen said worriedly. “Then send this old Bear King to Father,” Du Fan quickly replied upon hearing Allen’s words. “Alright, let’s send him back to Father,” Allen agreed, nodding in agreement. After that, Du Fan took out a small cup of potion and poured it into the old Bear King’s mouth. This potion was a very common restraining potion on the continent. Once consumed, it would prevent the person from using any energy at all. Without energy, they would become ordinary people once more. Only by taking the antidote could they regain their strength. After finishing these tasks, Du Fan, along with Nai Xiu and Moses, rushed once again to the city of Leopard Kingdom. The head of the Green family was sitting leisurely inside a tent. “Du Fan, you’ve finally arrived,” George said happily as he stood up upon seeing Du Fan. Seeing his elder brother’s relaxed demeanor, Du Fan nodded inwardly—it seemed this brother was better than the impulsive Allen. “Elder brother, how’s the siege going?” Du Fan asked as soon as he saw George. “The city walls are too strong, and the soldiers and civilians of Leopard City are united with high morale. It’s impossible to take them down right now,” George replied directly. “That’s why, hearing you were coming, I waited here.” “Good, now that we’re here, what siege preparations have you made?” Du Fan asked. “Since you’re here, we’ll get started right away!” George said excitedly upon hearing Du Fan’s question. “Elder brother, we were already quite exhausted from fighting with Second Brother earlier. Let us rest first! How about attacking tomorrow?” Du Fan quickly suggested when he heard George wanted to attack immediately.

“Alright, alright, you all go rest first. Also, when can you help us attack the city tomorrow?” Upon hearing Du Fan say this, George immediately asked.
“Tomorrow, just pick a time that suits you, big brother,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Alright, it will be early in the morning then!” George nodded.
“Good. Notify me before the attack,” Du Fan said.
…
On a small hill outside Leopard City, Du Fan, Naixiu, and Moses were in meditation.
The three of them sat in different directions, meditating deeply. After the exertions of the day, especially Moses and Du Fan, they felt extremely exhausted!
Suddenly, an unusual change occurred within Du Fan’s body as he meditated. The divine essence within him, when his energy was depleted, began to change slowly!
The outer layer of the divine essence started to peel away layer by layer!
After peeling away, it transformed into waves of extremely pure energy that circulated within Du Fan’s body, continuously transforming various functions of his body.
As more of the divine essence peeled away, more energy was generated. This pure energy kept circulating, carrying Du Fan toward a miraculous realm.
The more this energy gathered, the stronger it became. After circulating through every corner of Du Fan’s body, it began to converge toward a mysterious location within his body.
With his energy already depleted, this energy encountered much less resistance as it continued to circulate.
Just as Du Fan was experiencing this energy automatically circulating within his body without any conscious control, he suddenly felt a vibration throughout his body!
It was a vibration that came from within! With this vibration, Du Fan immediately sensed the presence of something new in his body!
This thing was the domain essence that Moses and Naixiu had described to him before.
Seeing its appearance, Du Fan was overjoyed! With a thought, he sent a burst of energy toward that domain essence!
Soon, Du Fan discovered that he could create a unique domain through this domain essence!
As soon as he realized this, he immediately stood up.
“Du Fan, have you rested enough?” Seeing Du Fan stand up abruptly, Naixiu quickly asked in a soft voice.
“Naixiu, come with me,” Du Fan replied with a smile upon hearing her question.

Hearing Du Fan say that, Naixiu also stood up and followed him to the other side of the hill.
“Stay here and don’t move!” When they reached a certain spot, Du Fan suddenly said to Naixiu.
Nodding, Naixiu stopped in her place.
Du Fan walked about 300 meters further before stopping. After standing still, he smiled at Naixiu—suddenly, in her eyes, Du Fan disappeared.
At the moment Du Fan disappeared, Naixiu was shocked! Before she could recover from this shock, Du Fan reappeared right in front of her.
“Du Fan, what kind of skill is this?” Naixiu asked in surprise at his sudden appearance.
“It’s my domain skill,” Du Fan replied with a smile.
“Your domain is teleportation?” Naixiu asked in astonishment.
“No, it’s not teleportation. Haha, teleportation is just one skill—how could it be a domain ability?” Du Fan laughed.
“Then what kind of skill is it?” Naixiu asked quickly after hearing his answer.
