Free Web NovelChapter 316: Chapter 315: The Power of the Dharma Domain, Divine Sense Misdirection
WHOOSH!
Gang Wind howled, and a pale-green vortex swirled around the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
"This is..."
"A domain?"
Surprise flickered in Ziyuan’s eyes.
When one’s control over the Power of Rules reached a certain level, a domain could be born.
For example:
Ziyuan herself had mastered the Eclipse Domain.
In the Immortal Dao system, a domain was called a Golden Core Realm.
As the name implied, only a Golden Core Adept should be able to master it!
But now...
"You’re only at the Mid-stage Crystal realm..."
"How did you do it?"
Ziyuan’s expression turned solemn.
A Tier-4 Divine Sense, a quasi-Tier-4 spirit vessel, and even a domain... This set of abilities meant Su Ye could be considered a true Tier-4 being!
In some ways, he was even more than that!
She instantly felt immense pressure!
"Is it that difficult?"
Su Ye stood calmly on the deck, completely at ease.
His magnificent black robe rustled in the swirling air currents!
A confident smile, one that spoke of certain victory, appeared on his face.
’The Gang Wind empowers me!’
’This is the advantage of fighting in the sky!’
He had appeared to be a polite gentleman, giving Ziyuan the right to choose the battlefield.
However, Su Ye was almost certain she would choose the ’sky’ as their battleground.
After all, he commanded a spirit vessel and was a Water Spiritual Root cultivator. Under these circumstances, the deep sea was unquestionably his domain.
In comparison, the sky seemed far fairer!
Within the Gangfeng Layer, the sunlight grew more intense. Ziyuan, who controlled the ’Power of Eclipse,’ believed she would have a certain advantage high in the sky.
However...
’I am the Monarch of Calamity!’
’Even though oceanic spiritual energy is weaker up here, the Gang Wind is a special type of natural disaster. As someone who can control the Gang Wind, I still have a home-field advantage!’
’What’s more, after installing the [Gui Cang Wind Stone], the Ghostly Flood Dragon gained the element of ’wind.’ Here in the Gangfeng Layer, it’s like a fish in water!’
Su Ye saw all of this with perfect clarity.
Of course, if Ziyuan had chosen the deep sea, it wouldn’t have mattered at all.
’The deep sea? Are you kidding?’
’My advantage would be even greater there!’
’Or to put it more bluntly...’
’In most battlefields within this Island Cultivation Realm, I can claim a home-field advantage!’
’This is the confidence that being the [Pastor of the Sea] has given me!’
It was also the source of Su Ye’s courage to provoke a war and invade the Spirit Control Sect!
Otherwise,
given Su Ye’s cautious nature and deliberate actions,
why would he choose to invade the Spirit Control Sect when four of his five "divine seeds" were on cooldown, if he wasn’t certain of victory?
HUFF...
An ethereal blue light flickered in Su Ye’s eyes.
His smile twisted, revealing a hint of wild bloodlust.
He activated Divine Blood Proliferation.
This further enhanced his ability to control the Gang Wind!
Then,
his long, slender fingers danced in the air!
"Wild winds, heed my command!"
WHOOSH!
The sky filled with howling Gang Wind!
Tens of thousands of pale-green strands of Gang Wind coalesced into lines, piercing toward the Sun-Eating Demon Emperor, Ziyuan!
At the same time, the twelve Plasma Cannons on the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s hull adjusted their positions and let out a deafening roar!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The cannon fire tore across the sky, the whistling air currents triggering a sense of danger in Ziyuan’s spiritual perception.
In the Gangfeng Layer, these Plasma Bombs—encased in shells of Gang Wind—were a good thirty percent faster!
"Eclipse Domain!"
Ziyuan’s graceful figure danced, her bare, lotus-like feet tapping lightly on the void.
VMMM.
A shadow as thick as ink rose from her toes.
It cloaked her body like a feathered robe, causing her to become translucent.
The domain contracted!
The shadow turned ethereal!
Unlike Su Ye, despite also being a domain wielder,
she chose to contract her domain, forming a Magical Robe that she wore over her body.
After all, here in the Gangfeng Layer, the Gang Wind was inexhaustible.
Her Power of Eclipse, however, was not.
Therefore, with her combat experience, Ziyuan almost instinctively chose the most suitable tactic!
POW!
The rain of Gang Wind lines whistled past.
But one could see that the vast majority of the Gang Wind passed directly through Ziyuan’s ethereal body, as if through thin air!
Ethereal shadow, damage immunity!
Even the few attacks that couldn’t be nullified, like the cannon fire from the Ghostly Flood Dragon, she could try to evade with high-speed maneuvers or simply tank directly!
That’s right, tank them!
As a Tier-4 Great Demon, Ziyuan was the furthest thing from ’fragile’!
Taking a few cannon hits was nothing to her; it barely stung!
WHOOSH!
After dodging this round of attacks, Ziyuan’s figure flashed. Surrounded by a purple mist, she executed a Teleportation Skill, reappearing several hundred zhang away and exiting her ethereal state.
Then, a cold glint shot from her eyes.
VMMM!
In Ziyuan’s hand, a shadow surged.
The Power of Eclipse condensed, forming a spear-like spider limb!
She threw it casually, and this Sun-Eroding Spider Spear created countless spear images in mid-air!
In an instant, the sky filled with these spear images, descending upon the Ghostly Flood Dragon like a dense, violent squall!
"This is to return the favor!" Ziyuan said, her eyes frigid.
Su Ye’s expression was calm. He could sense that among these spear images, only a few were real. The vast majority were just illusions created by a spell!
"Jiaojiao, intercept with Plasma Bombs!"
"As you command, Master!"
Su Ye’s Divine Sense flared, transmitting targeting information for Jiaojiao to perform the interception.
The cannons roared, and Plasma Bombs burst forth.
RUMBLE!
Bloody flames exploded in mid-air, accompanied by a series of deafening booms!
Jiaojiao perfectly executed Su Ye’s command, accurately striking the few real spear images with the Plasma Bombs.
The interception was a success.
However, Su Ye’s expression suddenly changed!
Because,
just after the round of Plasma Bombs had been fired,
among the spear images, one he had perceived as an ’illusion’ suddenly flared with spiritual light and accelerated!
This ’illusion’ was the true killing blow!
’My Divine Sense was misled?’
"That’s right!"
Ziyuan’s eyes narrowed, a triumphant smirk playing on her lips.
She muttered to herself,
’I admit, you’re very talented.’
’You’ve learned so much after just two clashes, improving with incredible speed...’
’But...’
’When it comes to deception and counter-deception,’
’I’m still the more experienced one here.’
SHING!
The spider spear howled!
It pierced through the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s Shielding Dharma Shield!
A single point breaking through the surface!
And then!
The pale purple Sun-Eroding Spider Spear erupted with light.
It transformed into a torrent of purple light, stabbing straight at Su Ye!
The might of Tier-4!
"Farewell!"
"You interesting little fellow."
A predator’s cruel, cold light shone in Ziyuan’s narrow purple eyes.
In her judgment, Su Ye, who was only at the Mid-stage Crystal realm, had absolutely no way of withstanding this blow after losing the protection of his spirit vessel and domain!
But...
VMMM!
A silvery, frost-colored Moon Blade Halberd suddenly appeared.
Su Ye swung the Moonfall Halberd, the air rumbling as he executed Moon Arc Continuous Slash!
Twelve Moon Arcs slashed out thunderously, striking the purple light all at once, as if with no sequence between them!
POW!
The torrent of purple light came to an abrupt halt!
A moment later, it exploded violently!
It scattered across the deck like splashing starlight!
VMMM!
The Gang Wind howled.
Su Ye stood holding his halberd, his robes fluttering wildly.
The purple light rained down all around him!
