Chapter 669: Cai’er’s Domain of Purification (II) (2/2)

All this while, Xue Zhisheng only had one winning strategy: to take advantage of the opponent’s consumption.

The full use of a domain would hugely use up one’s spiritual energy. From his previous judgement, Cai’er’s cultivation was below his by quite a gap, and since the Domain of Purification was quite a bit more powerful than his Twelve Spaces domain, it would undoubtedly use up far more spiritual energy. By letting this go on, Cai’er’s domain would be the first to need to be removed by her own initiative. That way he would win without need for a fight. And what if Cai’er would want to clash with his domain using her own? Xue Zhisheng was absolutely confident in his speed and ability to anticipate her actions.

As for Cai’er’s attacks, he only had to get out of their way. Xue Zhisheng held an absolute confidence in that Cai’er’s consumption would speed up while using her domain for attack. Although his consumption was large as well, his advantage in cultivation had to be accounted for as well.

Cai’er naturally saw through Xue Zhisheng’s tactic, and the spectators from the Assassin Temple watching from above did so as well. Her being able to force the elder chief to such a position, already gave them a complete approval of Cai’er deep inside. Without doubt, Cai’er was no weaker than Sheng Yue in cultivation, and being so young, the Assassin Temple would surely soar through new heights under her lead.

But was Cai’er’s strength limited to that? No, of course not. Everything that just happened was, in her eyes, just the start of her show.

The Sickle of the God of Death was slowly lifted, as Cai’er’s eyes turned gradually white, and the surrounding Domain of Purification bubbled up intensely, surrounding her body and wrapping her all around, making her looks unidentifiable from whichever direction.

If the previous Domain of Purification was like an immense white flowery alley, this Domain of Purification was like a flower bud formed of the overlapping of all those lotus petals, with Cai’er acting as its stamen.

What is she planning? Including Xue Zhisheng, everyone raised this question deep inside. The next instant, an ineffable sense of crisis appeared straight into Xue Zhisheng’s mind, as he mobilized his own Twelve Spaces Domain.

A gaudy silver light kept twirling, as the twelve gates abruptly changed stance, uniting as one while superposing each other. One could see that these superposed gates were surrounded by black twists, which was a sign of an imminent spatial breakthrough.

Everyone familiar with Xue Zhisheng knew that this elder chief was the most powerful when in this state. Through the superposition of the Twelve Spaces Domain, he was able to actually teleport at a long-distance of over a thousand kilometers, as well as raise his attacks to a terrifying level.

The sense of crisis made Xue Zhisheng not dare show any more reservations. The white light of purification in front of his eyes suddenly weakened, as Cai’er reappeared in everyone’s line of sight.

The Domain of Purification had disappeared, but in Cai’er’s left hand had appeared a sparkling and translucent entity, an extremely compact white lotus flower.

Cai’er declared brightly, “Elder Xue, that’s my domain’s Flourishing Lotus Flower. Want to try it out? However, my mastery of it is still insufficient. I can launch it but cannot stop it.”

“No need, I concede.” Xue Zhisheng’s darkened voice resounded. The silver light vanishing, he stepped out, moving away from the Twelve Spaces Domain, and directed an extremely complex look to Cai’er.

The Sickle of the God of Death in her hand moved rhythmically, releasing a great amount of white threads which passed through the lotus in her left hand, as the petals came off, quietly dissipating, the whole process lasting close to half a hour.

Xue Zhisheng as well as the rest of the assassins stood in front of Cai’er and confronted her silently. The rhythmic movements of the sickle in her hand looked really artistic, giving them an even greater realization of the terror induced by that flourishing lotus flower.

Domains wielded by powerhouses of the ninth step also had different grades. Anyone reaching the second rank of the ninth step could wield a domain of his own, and the domain wielding powerhouses of the ninth step could almost be called existences at a whole other level.

Every individual would have a different domain, and its grade would determine future potential. The stronger the domain, the higher the future cultivating prospects would go, and that would also determine the feasibility of the domain itself evolving.

The reason why Li Zhengzhi had convinced Xue Zhisheng was right because of his understanding of his own domain having gone to the extent of producing a Domain Technique.

But just now, Cai’er actually used her own Domain Technique.

A Domain Technique could be called a product of the domain’s evolution. And out of all domains, not even one percent percent could evolve and give rise to a Domain Technique.
