After smashing through a swarm of humanoid monsters blocking his path, he finally saw the scene before the shelter's walls.
Countless human skeletons hung from the outer walls, as if the domain creatures were declaring their final victory to the world.
A surge of fury welled up within him.
He charged straight toward Star City Shelter's gate.
Leaving a trail of deep footprints in his wake, Feng Qi channeled his momentum into a single, devastating punch that slammed into the metal wall.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the specially reinforced metal gate buckled inward but remained intact.
Simultaneously, the shelter's defensive systems activated.
Rust-covered cannons automatically locked onto him and opened fire.
A torrent of bullets rained down, striking his skin only to be deflected with barely a dent.
Taking a deep breath, he channeled his momentum again and unleashed a series of relentless punches.
Under his furious assault, the metal gate continued to buckle inward until it finally collapsed with a thunderous crash.
With the Goat-Headed Demon at his side, he surged through the shattered gate and into the shelter.
A massive horde of humanoid monsters surged in behind him, swarming the shelter's gate until it was completely blocked. The creatures clambered over the walls like acrobats, forming living pyramids along the edges.
Feng Qi pressed deeper into the shelter, following a path littered with rusted technological weapons. He soon reached the black stele.
Just as he was about to step forward, drip his blood onto the stele, and charge into the shelter, the black stele automatically slid aside, revealing a hidden chamber.
Fully armed domain creatures emerged one by one.
Their appearances varied wildly.
Having no need to infiltrate human society any longer, they had shed their disguises, revealing distinct domain creature features.
Some had gill-like slits on their faces, while others bore single horns on their foreheads. It was clear they belonged to different Domain Forces.
Upon spotting Feng Qi, they showed no surprise and immediately attacked.
Through the Star City Shelter's external surveillance feeds, they had already assessed the situation outside. They had prepared for retaliation the moment the gate was breached.
They even suspected Feng Qi was a Domain Force seeking to seize control of the Star City Shelter.
The shelter's cyclical resource production was limited, leaving no room for sharing.
At this point, their only option was to fight to the death. Only the victor would claim control of Star City Shelter.
Unaware of the Domain Weakling Warriors' thoughts, Feng Qi launched the first strike, his heavy punch instantly reducing one of them to a bloody pulp.
The remaining Domain Weakling Warriors retaliated fiercely.
Behind him, the Goat-Headed Demon formed a defensive line, repelling the relentless humanoid monster horde.
Before the metal stele at the shelter's entrance, Feng Qi stood alone, battling the endless stream of Domain Weakling Warriors pouring from the tunnel.
With each strike, qi blood surged into his body, granting him four new innate abilities.
But he had no time to examine their effects.
After years of growth within Star City Shelter, the Domain Weakling Warriors had become formidable. He couldn't annihilate them with the same overwhelming force he used against the humanoid monsters.
When a familiar figure emerged from the metal tunnel, Feng Qi's expression turned grave.
It was none other than Little Cripple.
Unlike the Little Cripple he remembered, this version wore custom-made metal armor forged within Star City Shelter and a crown crafted from an unknown crystal stone. His aura radiated even greater power than during their last encounter.
Having seized control of Star City Shelter, Little Cripple had evidently used the resources stored in its warehouses to significantly enhance its combat prowess.
Upon their reunion, Little Cripple immediately launched an aggressive assault.
Despite its missing leg, Little Cripple's attacks were ferocious. Its sharp right leg struck with cunning angles, capable of extending, retracting, and delivering devastating blows.
Each kick produced a piercing, wind-splitting sound.
Feng Qi remained calm in the face of Little Cripple's relentless onslaught.
During their previous encounter, he had been completely outmatched by Little Cripple's strength and technique. This time, however, his own power had markedly improved.
As Little Cripple unleashed a downward whip kick, Feng Qi closed the distance with a swift step and slammed a brutal Iron Mountain Shoulder Strike into its chest.
Boom!
With a deafening crash, Little Cripple was sent flying several meters, crashing into a metallic machine. Sparks erupted from the device as the chestplate of Little Cripple's armor buckled inward.
See? With absolute strength and speed, you don't need to worry about any techniques. Just brute force your way through! the Narrator declared with smug satisfaction.
Ignoring the Narrator's comment, Feng Qi punched away several encroaching domain creatures and lunged at Little Cripple once more.
Little Cripple, a veteran of countless battles, reacted with lightning speed, leaping from the dented metal instrument to evade Feng Qi's ferocious haymaker.
Just as Feng Qi prepared to press his advantage, he suddenly felt his body grow heavy.
A force surged from his right.
He looked up to see a domain creature wrapped entirely in bandages staring intently at him.
The invisible pressure emanated from this creature.
The bandaged domain creature clenched its fist, and Feng Qi immediately felt the pressure on his body intensify, his movements becoming sluggish and restricted.
It seems to have the ability to manipulate gravity. This won't be easy.
As the Narrator's words faded, Little Cripple, having evaded the attack, launched a counteroffensive from the opposite side, delivering a vicious kick to Feng Qi's neck.
Feng Qi was sent flying several meters, crashing heavily to the ground.
Before he could struggle to his feet, a towering domain creature closed in from behind, locking his arms in a tight grip.
Feng Qi fought desperately to break free, but the force from behind only intensified.
Little Cripple seized the moment to attack again. Combined with the gravitational restraint, Feng Qi found himself completely immobilized.
The situation had turned dire.
If he couldn't escape this bind quickly, a few more rounds of attacks would seal his fate.
He had no intention of dying before Little Black arrived.
The three domain creatures currently battling him were all exceptionally powerful, yet clearly belonged to different races.
Feng Qi wasn't surprised by this.
The structure of the Domain Forces within Star City Shelter closely resembled that of the Domain Weakling Alliance—both were Domain Forces that had infiltrated human society in its early stages.
As the external world grew increasingly dangerous, these Domain Forces realized that their weak factions couldn't possibly compete in the Domain's power struggles. When humans built Star City Shelter, they followed them inside.
With limited resources within the shelter, the Weak Domain Races began plotting to exterminate humanity and seize exclusive control of Star City Shelter for their own survival.
To this end, they seized partial control of the shelter's administrative authority, restricting the dissemination and practice of advanced cultivation techniques in an attempt to suppress the growth potential of humans within the shelter.
Feng Qi had experienced these events in a previous Future Dream Timeline.
In that timeline, the Weak Domain Races' plan to exterminate humanity ultimately failed.
Even if he hadn't appeared in the end, both the Weak Domain Races and the surviving humans would have been indiscriminately sacrificed by the Lord of the Mist.
After all, the Domain Weakling Warriors had also cultivated the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice.
However, the situation in this timeline had changed. The Lord of the Mist had vanished, and they had clearly succeeded in their power grab, slaughtering all human survivors.
Thinking of the Lord of the Mist, something suddenly occurred to him.
Before his death, Old Mist had entrusted him with the "flesh cauldron trajectory," the method for harvesting flesh and blood.
He didn't know if the Domain Forces in this timeline, such as Little Cripple, had cultivated the Flesh and Blood Sacrifice.
But if they had...
Could it mean that by simply learning how the Lord of the Mist activated the flesh cauldron, he could easily strip them of their lives and flesh?
A cruel smile crept across his lips at the thought.
Good heavens, are you going to start snapping your fingers like Old Mist too? The dragon slayer truly becomes the dragon in the end... But suddenly, I'm a little excited.
