Chapter 58 Erosion Domain
It was accompanied by the sound of horns and impacts.
Lu Shi quietly changed his position, let out a soft breath, and felt pain all over his body.
Zhou Jianye has also sustained numerous wounds after his afternoon fight with Zhang Lifeng.
The previous jumps and rolls only exacerbated the situation.
Fortunately, these were all superficial injuries, without any serious bone damage or significant bleeding; they just looked a bit crippled.
The situation seems to have calmed down.
The driver climbed off the dump truck, his face flushed, the fear still lingering on his expression.
Behind the driver was a woman who was accompanying him in the car.
He used to enjoy doing little things while driving, and thanks to his experience as a driver, he rarely made any mistakes.
But for some reason, after arriving here this time, he began to feel dizzy and lost control of his hands and feet, as if he had forgotten that he was driving. That's why he forgot to turn when he was on the bend and sped off.
And in the instant he charged out, he saw what appeared to be people ahead, and what seemed to be many swords.
The two climbed out of the car and then saw a man not far away, shirtless, covered in blood and wounds, staring in their direction.
Before they could react, a metallic scraping sound came from nearby.
Then, beneath the car, a mangled 'corpse' was seen writhing and struggling.
And within this corpse, a sword, transformed into golden threads, pierced his body from behind.
"Ahhh!" A terrified scream burst from their mouths.
"They're not dead!" Lu Shi instinctively tried to back away.
However, the next moment, a wave of energy erupted from where Zhou Jianye was.
Subsequently, this small path, along with part of the main road, was completely enveloped by this fluctuation.
The moment Lu Shi entered, he felt a sense of pressure.
At the same time, a very strong sense of urgency arose in my heart.
It was as if I was having a nightmare; that feeling of panic and helplessness became very obvious in that instant.
It felt as if I was suspended in mid-air, my feet unable to touch the ground, a state of panic and confusion.
His gaze then shifted, landing on Zhou Jianye's mangled body.
With the truck's impact and crushing, Zhou Jianye's bones were completely broken.
At this moment, only the hilt of the sacrificial sword remained outside, while the rest of the blade transformed into golden threads that burrowed into his spine.
If it weren't for this, Zhou Jianye would probably be dead by now, let alone be able to move.
By using the sword to penetrate his body and manipulating the weapon's movements, he was able to survive despite being in such a battered state.
"I can't die!" A muffled voice came from Zhou Jianye's mouth.
His eyes were filled with a kind of clarity that came before death.
Playing with metaphysics and attempting to use it to change some of the ironclad laws of real life, then death is just a very common outcome.
After obtaining the metaphysical information from the master, Zhou Jianye understood everything.
But all he can do now is rely on metaphysics.
Zhou Jianye coughed incessantly, black blood oozing from his mouth. His lungs, inside his tattered chest cavity, were in no better condition than a rotten rag.
At this moment, Zhou Jianye saw countless figures in his vision.
He could vaguely make out that they were young, but when Zhou Jianye focused his gaze, he found that they were all extremely thin, old and gray.
When the steel plant was established, the goal was to increase output and promote production.
He and a group of old buddies were busy working around the stove.
Conditions were tough back then, and there weren't many rules or regulations.
As a result, many of those people from back then have passed away long ago.
Those who survived were all afflicted with tuberculosis.
The illness tormented Zhou Jianye, and also his brothers and buddies.
"I must return to the steel mill, I must deploy the erosion domain, I must cure their disease..."
In Zhou Jianye's clear mind, only this one thought remained.
The long-term alienation of a person's metaphysical abilities will cause the degree of erosion to increase linearly.
However, it is simply not possible to transform and corrupt a group of people simultaneously using normal methods these days.
Therefore, the master only gave one method—the erosion domain.
Within the erosion domain, worldly norms are transcended; within it, power can be released at will without the need for erosion degree.
Or rather, the erosion zone itself is the highest degree of erosion.
In this situation, if the bodies of people within the erosion domain are modified, and the abnormal elements within are subsequently removed, these people will be re-evaluated by reality once the erosion domain ends.
In reality, events within the erosion domain are not recorded.
Regardless of whether these people's bodies are healthy or not, as long as there is nothing abnormal within them, they can be reintroduced and their existence defined as normal.
It's like washing it in the dark zone; in any case, being healthy is good.
As for what will happen to Zhou Jianye after he opens up the erosion domain, he himself doesn't care.
The steelmaking days of those years, the trials and tribulations they faced, those arduous years of struggle have become pillars of their spirit.
Zhou Jianye withstood the first major obstacle in the expansion of the eroded domain; he was not crushed by the pressure of being rejected by reality.
With the mind sustained, metaphysical abilities, in turn, burst forth beyond their current level under this support.
Although Zhou Jianye failed to complete the three sacrifices, in his abandoned state, his abilities within the erosion domain truly reached level three.
Most of his body has been replaced by swords.
The leg that was being pulled and crushed was discarded and replaced with several swords. The severed hand was cut off and the sword was used as an arm.
After crawling out from under the car, Zhou Jianye glanced at Lu Shi.
Despite harboring resentment towards Lu Shi, all he wanted to do at that moment was go to the steel mill.
When he decided to launch the attack that night, he had already gathered the surviving old comrades at the steel mill.
As long as he goes there, he will surely be able to heal them all!
The truck driver and the woman in the truck watched all this in horror. Their bodies instinctively wanted to back away, but they found that their bodies had begun to stiffen without them realizing it.
His fear overwhelmed their understanding, and the feeling of being ostracized by the world made it impossible for them to think and understand things smoothly.
The instinctive thought processes of seeing abnormal things and escaping were cut off at this moment. They only knew fear, but did not know what to do.
The two men were essentially insane, so they stood there, staring blankly at everything, radiating fear.
Zhou Jianye, this half-human, half-sword monster, disregarded everything and headed towards the steel plant.
However, even though the other party let him go, Lu Shi still chose to stand in front of Zhou Jianye and block his way.
