Chapter 210: Domain (2/2)

Charon duly replied, “It is my honor to battle against the young mistress of the Frostmoon Sect.”

“The Frostmoon Sect is just a small sect, and it is not worthy of senior’s notice. I ask that senior please show mercy.” Yue Xianzi’s words were respectful, and when that was coupled with her beautiful face and sweet voice, she caused many in the audience to admire her bearing.

But Charon remained unaffected; the only woman in his mind was his sister-in-law. But that thought caused him to think of Lu Yin, and he unconsciously raised his head only to coincidentally lock eyes with Lu Yin.

Lu Yin looked at Charon and then at Yue Xianzi. At this moment, this woman had shed her prim manners and mercilessly displayed the battle technique that she had inherited from Blackwater Lake.

Her star energy simulated the flow of water and produced a vortex, which protected her in the very center of the field. An extremely dazzling cold moon rose in the sky, giving Yue Xianzi the bearing of a true lunar deity.

Charon remained calm as he stared at the gradually expanding vortex, which had twisted more than one Area Master to death. The normal-looking flowing water actually had a terrifyingly destructive strength, and no one was capable of withstanding it regardless of how tough their body was. This was the fearsome nature of this inherited battle technique that had come from ancient times. Charon could not forcibly clash with the vortex, and he could only try to dissolve it from the outside. Fortunately, Charon was a genius Lockbreaker who greatly surpassed both Xia Luo and Lu Yin in terms of contributions.

When Charon’s star energy expanded out, mysterious ripples swept out across the field one after another. Yue Xianzi was shocked: a domain! She did not know that Charon had comprehended a domain.

For the first time, the power of a Lockbreaker combined with a domain was witnessed by countless people.

Charon then easily stepped into the vortex and walked in front of Yue Xianzi. “Are we going to continue this?”

Many could not understand what had just happened. How had Charon broken through Yue Xianzi’s battle technique so easily?

Yue Xianzi was initially stunned, but her shock quickly turned to disappointment. “It seems that my battle technique cannot compare to yours. Thank you, senior, for showing me mercy.” Her figure then vanished as she left the Lifeseek Realm.

Charon and Yue Xianzi’s battle had been one of the simplest in the entire tournament, as they had not exchanged any blows. Only a very select few could understand what had transpired during their battle.

A domain contained a very mysterious strength; not only could it help one merge into their surroundings, but it could also forcibly affect those surroundings and increase one’s power almost limitlessly. It could form a visible forcefield, alter one’s heartbeat rate, enhance their five senses, and other abstruse effects. Every person’s understanding of a domain was different.

Sha’s domain had altered his surroundings to turn everything to ice, while Charon’s focused on enhancing his five senses as he was a Lockbreaker. Within the range of Charon’s domain, he was able to clearly sense the activity of every single strand of star energy. This was the reason behind Yue Xianzi’s defeat. Even though her battle technique was very strong, it was nonetheless still powered by star energy. As long as he was facing someone on the same level as him, there was almost no star energy activity that Charon could not see through.

Absolute mastery within the domain’s region of space for the wielder—this was a domain. Not all Lockbreakers could comprehend a domain, but any Lockbreaker who did would undoubtedly be very powerful.

Up on the peak overlooking the field, Dao Bo’s lips curved upwards; Charon was qualified to battle against him.

Not far from Lu Yin, an “18” appeared in front of Astral-1’s leader.

Everyone looked at her; it was finally time for the most unfathomable and mysterious Realm Master of them all to battle.

Lu Yin was naturally curious as well, since the ten academies and their respective student leaders were all ranked by strength. This woman had to be able to suppress Nightqueen Yanqing, Dao Bo, Feng Shang, and other such super powerhouses for her to take the position of first. Lu Yin was eager to see her power.

However, the battle did not even take place as the opponent readily admitted defeat.

None of the Astral Combat Academy’s students found this strange. This student had been matched up against Astral-1’s leader, the person who could be considered the strongest within the entire Astral Combat Academy. Not even most Area Masters would be qualified to exchange blows with her.

Lu Yin was disappointed, but his spirits were quickly refreshed because the next battle was nearly as exciting as the previous one. It was Chilian Daynight. Countless people had seen his powerful moves during the Three Academies Guarding the Gate stage, especially his amazing crowd control abilities. It would be difficult for anyone weaker than him to defend against his attacks. And his opponent for this nineteenth match would be Liu Shaoqiu.

Liu Xiaoyun shivered when she saw Liu Shaoqiu appear in the middle of the arena plains.

She wasn’t the only one who was excited. Before countless screens, especially within the First Flowzone of the Innerverse, many experts from great powers watched this upcoming battle intently. There was not much information readily available about Liu Shaoqiu, but everything that had been found out was shocking to the extreme. He was the second person in the current generation of the Sword Sect to have received the Thirteen Swords inheritance, and he was also an abnormally strong genius who had once injured an Explorer at the Melder realm.

In the First Flowzone, on a dusky land, countless people were kneeling down. The crowd extended far into the horizon, and they were all facing towards the north. There, a tall flag fluttered in the wind, emitting an iron-scented bloodlust. There was one word on the flag—“Yōu.”

Below the flag sat a girl with an exquisite face. She was wearing a dark-colored gown as she looked at the screen that displayed Liu Shaoqiu calmly standing in the arena plains.

Behind the girl, an old maid knelt down deferentially. “Princess, he is your fiancé, a genius of the Sword Sect’s current generation, Liu Shaoqiu.”

The girl continued to look at the screen as curiosity filled her large, resplendent eyes. Her gaze seemed calm, but her eyes had a strange glint within them.
