Chapter 386 - Domain (2/2)

Her domain... was it something akin to a summoning technique?

”Lady Linye's domain is already so impressive while still incomplete. I am sure it will be truly unstoppable in its full form,” Lu Tianzi said while patting off the charred cloth on his sleeves. ”Thank you for your guidance today.”

”What are you talking about? I haven't even made my move yet,” Linye Caixia said with a grin.

”Hmm?” Lu Tianzi looked at her in confusion. ”What do you mean?”

”Have you seen me take action yet?” Linye Caixia shrugged. ”I have been standing here all along, haven't I?”

Lu Tianzi felt the corner of his lips twitch.

She might not have personally made a move, but those burning warriors were definitely born from her technique!

Was that still not considered taking action?

”I know what you are thinking about, but that was just the natural effect of my manifested Origin Totem. Of course, there is still a lot to work on before I can actually call it a complete domain, but even if it is already completed, just releasing a domain can hardly be considered as making a real move,” Linye Caixia smirked. ”That said, I will be making my move now.”

Lu Tianzi narrowed his eyes, and water condensed around his hands as he once again got ready to defend himself.

A domain was something that he had never faced before in battle. Even if it was being used at the level of the Third Cycle Origin Core realm, Lu Tianzi did not dare take it lightly.

After all, this was a power almost exclusive to Overlord realm powerhouses.

Having given her words of caution, Linye Caixia's tightly clenched right fist immediately burst into bright flames.

She pulled her fist back, and the flames suddenly erupted in magnitude, becoming a huge fireball even larger than herself.

Earlier, Linye Caixia's spear was already heated to the point where it could reforge Peak Origin Core rank treasures in the midst of battle.

But now, Lu Tianzi could clearly sense that the heat intensity coming from her flaming fist seemed to be even greater than that of her spear!

”That's the Burning Desolation Fist!” Young Master Xuan Hao exclaimed in shock.

With a single glance, Young Master Xuan Hao was able to recognise the technique used by Linye Caixia.

It was one of the top tier unarmed combat techniques in the Timeless Flame Sect, used even by many Overlord realm powerhouses!

”The Burning Desolation Fist? Isn't she taking this a little too seriously?” Ruan Ling gritted her teeth in irritation.

Ruan Ling might not be able to recognise the combat technique, but she had still heard of its name from Young Master Xuan Hao.

Even Nanlan Qianxue could not help but feel slightly anxious.

She did not know what this Burning Desolation Fist was, but now that the technique was being executed right before her eyes, how could she not sense the immense power contained within?

Would Lu Tianzi be forced to reveal some of his trump cards here?

Facing the approaching Linye Caixia, this was also the same thought running through Lu Tianzi's mind.

He could tell that against this overwhelming attack, his little water trick from before would never work. The entire water bubble would be vapourised in an instant.

Should he reveal some of his trump cards here?

Tapping on his Spiritual Essence cultivation was strictly out of the question, but he still had his beastial bloodline transformation, the Limitless Mirror Eye, and the Palm of Thousand Venoms.

No, using poison in a mere spar might be too much, so he was effectively left with only two options.

Forget it...

Since it was a mere spar, he would just do his best without revealing any of those techniques. He had probably already revealed enough of his capabilities to impress the seniors anyway.

But if he wanted to stand a chance without using any of his trump cards, he could not just stay on the defensive against an attack of such overwhelming strength!

Lu Tianzi pressed his palms together, and the water surrounding his: two hands naturally combined into a single globe.

This globe of water then started to rotate around his pressed palms, quickly gaining speed and growing in volume.

He then separated his two palms, and the globe of water stayed on his right hand, completely separating from his left.

With that, Lu Tianzi inevitably took on a similar stance to Linye Caixia's.

Just that while the young lady's fist was enveloped by a huge fireball, Lu Tianzi had a huge globe of water surrounding his hand.

”Hahaha! How interesting! Are you trying to copy my technique?” Linye Caixia laughed. ”I'm afraid mine is not just a simple ball of fire! Even if it is, you should know that fire and water do not quite work the same way!”

”Well, I don't think I have many other options here,” Lu Tianzi answered helplessly.

”That's true. I guess this is definitely better than having you just give up without trying,” Linye Caixia agreed. ”Well then, take this!”

Linye Caixia shot forward, the huge fireball on her right fist creating a bright yellow trail in her wake.

Lu Tianzi did not hesitate to step forward as well, charging straight towards the approaching Linye Caixia.

”Are you forgetting something?” Linye Caixia said with a playful smile.

As she said that, a burning warrior formed in front of Lu Tianzi, sending out a sweeping kick without warning.

But Lu Tianzi had already expected as much.

Just as it looked like the kick was about to connect, Lu Tianzi suddenly appeared to move back in time, gliding backwards to stay just out of range of the burning warrior.

Whoosh-!

There was only the loud sound of moving air as the burning warrior missed her kick completely before quickly disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

”Hmm?” those watching could not help but frown.

Not everyone present could see through what just happened.

Xuan Qinshang smiled as he watched from the throne.

At his current level, Xuan Qinshang was naturally more than capable of seeing through Lu Tianzi's use of the Flowing River Silent Strides.

”Not bad!” Linye Caixia grinned. ”Well then, take this!”

She punched forward, slamming the burning fireball in her right fist right towards Lu Tianzi, only to see that Lu Tianzi had not continued forward after dodging the burning warrior's kick.

Instead, he had continued sliding backwards, keeping a safe distance from Linye Caixia.

But at the same time, Lu Tianzi also pulled the huge globe of water in front of him, putting it between the two of them.

Now!

The speed of rotation of the globe of water suddenly skyrocketed, and countless jets of water instantly shot out from it, heading straight towards Linye Caixia!
