The obsidian gate groaned open, revealing an endless expanse of dark stars and shifting space. The void beyond pulsed with mysterious energy, unlike anything Ye Feng had ever sensed.
➤ [New Realm Discovered: Abyssal Dominion]
He stepped forward, his body still buzzing with power from the trial. Every fiber of his being felt different. Stronger. Sharper. Transcendent.
The masked figure walked beside him.
"You are no longer just a cultivator," he said. "You are something… more."
Ye Feng's gaze remained fixed ahead. "Then tell me—what exactly have I become?"
The figure paused before answering.
"A true Devourer. One who doesn't just consume power—but commands the abyss itself."
Ye Feng clenched his fists. His veins pulsed with abyssal energy. The darkness no longer resisted him—it answered him.
But before he could fully process it—
The ground beneath them shook.

Abyssal Warzone
A roar echoed through the dominion. In the distance, black storm clouds swirled, and massive shadows moved beneath them.

➤ [Abyssal Beasts Identified – Tier-5 and Above]
From the mist, titanic creatures emerged—towering, nightmarish beings with gleaming crimson eyes. Their bodies were forged from abyssal stone and raw devouring energy.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. "These things…"
The masked figure nodded. "The true rulers of this realm. Ancient Devourers."
A deep, guttural voice thundered from the distance.
"Who dares trespass into our dominion?"
A shadow loomed overhead—a colossus, its body swirling with galaxies of abyssal mist.
Ye Feng felt the sheer pressure of its presence. It wasn't just powerful—it was absolute.

The masked figure remained unfazed.
"Your final trial begins now."

The First Battle of a Monarch
Ye Feng's lips curled into a smirk. "Then let's test my new power."
With a single thought, the abyss around him shifted.
➤ [Abyssal Dominion: Activated]
The darkness beneath him rose, forming tendrils of pure devouring force. His body flickered—faster than before, stronger than ever.
The colossal beast swung its claw—a single strike capable of erasing mountains.
Ye Feng didn't dodge.
He raised his hand—and the abyss obeyed.
A massive black void shield formed, absorbing the impact. Not just blocking it—devouring it.
The beast hesitated.
Ye Feng grinned. "My turn."
He vanished.
Reappeared above the beast.
And with a single punch—he shattered the sky.
