Chapter 1276
[Immortal Realm Chapter] The Power of the Domain, the Dharma Form Shows Its Advantage
"This kid is interesting."
The two people opposite him flexed their wrists and looked at Lin Shan with surprise on their faces, but they didn't make a big fuss.
Cultivators have many tricks up their sleeves and are not so easy to kill. This kid had the Sword in the Eye as a backup and broke their combo, but unfortunately he was just one step away.
Fortunately, I didn't feel any pressure, so overall it was much better than facing Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling.
The two dark clouds overhead were a bit annoying, constantly spitting out tiny lightning bolts. The crackling currents sent shivers down my spine, making me feel distracted. Anyone would feel uncomfortable after a while.
"Kill him as soon as possible, and finish this quickly!"
Mysterious light appeared in their eyes, like a star map or the Milky Way. In an instant, they calculated the optimal route and pounced on each other again.
The person on the left raises their arm and swings their palm, while the person on the right chops with a knife!
Lin Shan was prepared this time and immediately activated his pupil technique at the start of the attack. His opponent's attack was as stealthy as ever, flying through the interlayer of the void and then jumping out of space at the appointed time to launch a sneak attack.
At first, I wasn't used to it, but after a few more tries, I got used to it.
His pupils were as black as ink, and two swirling Star-Slaying Demon Swords shot out continuously as he fought his opponent across the void, while he himself retreated to maintain a safe distance.
But he soon realized that it wouldn't work, because the power of the Eye Sword was far from being able to fight against his hands. He was knocked away or even defeated several times, and he could feel a slight pain in his eye sockets!
Meanwhile, the other party is constantly looking for opportunities to get closer quickly.
If it's just one person, he has many ways to practice flying a kite while it's suspended, but with two people working together, the threat is too great, and it's easy to lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.
However, since we are testing a new area, we should still use the Thunder Dao Divine Power. Other methods are not compatible with the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, and there is no synergy between the two, so the effect is not significant.
As he dodged, he tried to familiarize himself with the control of the domain, especially the vast area spanning thousands of miles, which served as an extension of his consciousness, allowing him to switch between different battlefield perspectives.
For example, while the members of the Immortal Alliance below were still fighting in the Star Martial Army, they were able to catch their breath with the help of their domain. Lin Shan could even spare some thoughts to help them, control the area's lightning to concentrate on a certain group, or lend a helping hand to someone who was about to be in danger.
For the first time, he discovered that he could do up to four things at once!
This is somewhat related to the three void spiritual essences from the original Nascent Soul stage, which are the three recovered primordial spirit avatars, equivalent to three tentacles in the domain.
In addition, they also became familiar with the enemy-locking mode of the domain.
This relates to the degree of control over the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool above one's head. By devoting a portion of one's energy to controlling the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, one can grasp the movements of everyone within the domain, thereby accurately locking onto enemies, somewhat similar to a radar auxiliary cheat.
In other words, once you've mastered the use of the domain's central control, you can directly issue commands and tell Lei Chi who you want to attack. This will lock onto the target and allow you to hit exactly where you point. The dark cloud above your head is the cheat code!
This means that no matter where this person goes, they cannot hide. Even if they become invisible or vanish into the void, that dark cloud will always cling to them, like a maggot attached to their bones.
Their own supernatural powers will also be integrated into the domain, activated through the supernatural power seed, and then stimulated by the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool!
Therefore, the Dharma Realm, as an extension of the original body, is quite different from the domain supernatural powers learned outside. It is equivalent to God's perspective with super-long-range vision, which can replace oneself in combat and serve as a weapon spirit to assist in battle.
After figuring this out, the seed of the supreme divine power of Wind and Thunder Prison Break in his mind was activated, instantly reconnecting him with the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool. The Thunder Pool, which had been accumulating for a long time, suddenly began to bubble up.
The two Star Martial Emperors below are still flanking, using continuous ranged attacks to restrict them, taking the opportunity to close the distance and replicate the chance for close-quarters combat.
They were also wondering why the person in front of them wasn't fighting back, but just running away. They had never encountered such an opponent before.
Of course, the advantage of not fighting back is that this kid is as slippery as an eel, and you can't catch him for a while.
But just as they were getting a little impatient, the dark clouds overhead suddenly inexplicably strengthened their connection, and a strong sense of crisis swept over them!
"Ok?"
The two quickly looked up, but found nothing. However, in the next moment, without any warning of their opponent's attack, the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool suddenly erupted with a deafening roar!
The first shock came amidst violent tremors, followed by a torrent of lightning liquid that flowed along the pool walls, leaving behind streaks of silvery-white scars!
A blinding light burst forth from the center of the pool, as if a small opening had appeared. Then all the plasma converged and descended upon one of the people on the spot!
A massive bolt of lightning pierced the heavens and the earth, illuminating the entire Kongtong Realm. Everyone's expression was briefly flashed before the subsequent rumble of thunder arrived.
Click~~~
"what!!!"
A scream was heard from below. The Star Martial Emperor who was targeted had no time to react and was seriously injured on the spot!
The other person was shocked and quickly turned to look back.
"what happened to you?"
The Star Martial Emperor had curly hair, a charred face, and tattered clothes that revealed his bronze skin. It seemed that his physical training had saved his life; otherwise, without any means of self-preservation, he could easily have been in trouble.
His face was extremely pale, and his eyes were wide with disbelief.
The other person was even more panicked. He hadn't seen the other person make a move from beginning to end; he had only been running away without even a prelude.
"Watch out for that dark cloud overhead; it's connected to that Thunder Pool!"
The person in question was on high alert, but Lin Shan, who was in the distance, couldn't see clearly. It was the first time he had used his domain, and it felt like he had discovered a new continent.
The Thunderous Prison Break is modeled after the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, consisting of nine waves and eighty-one lightning bolts. But this is still a long way off!
One after another, the attacks continued relentlessly, leaving the Star Martial Emperor utterly powerless to retaliate. He didn't know who to turn to for help and fled in a sorry state like a stray dog.
Lin Shan observed from afar and then discerned the trick: after the lightning tribulation descended from the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, it merely flashed by and vanished into the void.
Then, using a special locking sensor, it travels through unseen spatial layers, breaks through the boundary from the dark clouds above the opponent's head, and suddenly descends to ambush the opponent!
This is true for a single lightning tribulation, and it is true for every lightning tribulation!
This seems quite similar to the way the two of them attacked Lin Shan from a distance.
The combat style of the Void Transformation stage is significantly different from any previous stage. Since one has already learned to utilize some spatial power, one must naturally conceal one's attacks and use spatial layers to detour and prevent the opponent from responding.
If you attack directly at face-to-face, unless it's close-quarters combat, the trajectory of the bullet at this distance will easily give the opponent enough time to react.
As for attacks that occur through the void, unless you are a highly experienced expert, they are basically impossible to defend against!
Lin Shan broke through to the Void Realm for the first time, and before he could consolidate his realm, he immediately caught up with actual combat. Sure enough, no matter how much he explored, it was not as good as fighting a battle with someone!
The man was so struck by lightning that he was barely able to protect himself; the eighty-one strikes were enough to keep him occupied.
The other person, seeing this, naturally wouldn't stand idly by and immediately went to chase after him. However, without any teammates to cooperate, he couldn't stop Lin Shan's movements at all. Lin Shan moved like a dragon in the domain, and the other person couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, let alone get close! Seeing that this kid was playing hide-and-seek with him, the other person felt helpless.
A martial artist's movement skills are definitely inferior to those of a cultivator. Unless someone provides cover from the side or they rely on technological assistance, it's very difficult for them to do anything in a one-on-one fight.
However, he didn't start cursing. Provocation wouldn't work at this stage, so he simply and decisively turned around and went down immediately, seemingly determined to wipe out the last of the remaining members of the Immortal Alliance!
You're running away? Then I'll kill these people first and wipe out your Immortal Remnant Alliance completely!
"Young friend Lin, stop him."
The other two battlefields' Ancestor Yanling had been paying close attention to this place. He had just breathed a sigh of relief after Lin Shan became familiar with the combat methods of the Void Realm, but upon seeing this, he immediately became tense again.
Because the members of the Immortal Remnant Alliance are all within the range of his domain!
Lin Shan's mind stirred. Within his domain, he could do whatever he wanted and control it at will. By controlling the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, he changed the target of his supreme divine power. The Thunder Tribulation suddenly changed hands, and the lightning tribulation abruptly turned around at the next moment, unexpectedly striking another Star Martial Emperor through the dark clouds!
Click~~~
The person had no time to react and was sent flying and rolling a great distance, because the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation was getting stronger with each strike, and in the end it could pose a fatal threat.
He looked completely bewildered and scrambled to his feet in a panic.
Fortunately, Star Martial Emperor was a trained martial artist with a strong physical defense. Attacks that many cultivators would not dare to take were not fatal to him, and he could withstand them all thanks to his extremely high physical limits.
The person on the other side was still focused on defense, staring intently at the dark cloud above, but when the calamity suddenly stopped, he dared not let his mind wander, fearing that the other party might launch a surprise attack.
While he was being suspicious, his companion on the other side was experiencing the same thing.
Lin Shan became interested.
They realized their chance to regain the initiative had arrived!
Manipulating the Thunder Pool, he began to dart left and right, sometimes calling out to this person, sometimes launching a sneak attack on that person, finally managing to toy with the two mighty Star Martial Emperors quite a bit.
In addition, two more streams of primordial energy were separated to take care of the members of the Remnant Immortal Alliance.
He finally brought the situation under control, and only then were Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling completely relieved. However, they also secretly communicated through telepathy:
"Now that Fellow Daoist Lin has broken through to the Void Realm, we need to withdraw as soon as possible. Otherwise, the drain will be disadvantageous for us, and we won't be able to hold on for long without recovering."
"It's easier said than done. The Kongtong Realm has been sealed off by them using special methods. Don't forget there's a space fleet guarding the outside!"
The group looked over and saw that one fleet after another was still jumping in from afar. The enemy had reserved half of its firepower, and they didn't know what kind of deadly weapon was hidden among them, ready to completely block their way out.
In comparison, these Star Emperors are not even as threatening as those fleets!
After all, no matter how strong a martial artist is, their level of skill is what it is. Everyone knows each other well, so there isn't a significant gap between them.
But technological weapons don't listen to reason at all. As long as you bring in something like a shore-based artillery, one shot can send a Void Realm cultivator to his death!
During their discussion, Lin Shan regained control of the situation.
After eighty-one rounds of the Wind and Thunder Prison Break, the two Star Martial Emperors looked miserable and were not feeling well. The key problem was that they couldn't even touch the hem of each other's clothes.
He was still regretting it. It was a good opportunity just now. He almost succeeded before the kid got familiar with controlling the field!
As a result of a single misstep, they failed to find another opportunity and were instead dominated throughout the entire match.
This was the first time they had encountered such a realm. Of course, there were only a handful of Void Realm cultivators in the Microcosm, and their knowledge was not very extensive.
Finally, when the supernatural power ended, they thought of attacking again, but the next moment the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool erupted once more. A huge, dark bolt of lightning flashed and then disappeared instantly!
"Again?"
The dark clouds overhead instantly connected, and the lightning tribulation burst forth from the void and descended suddenly!
Rumble~~~
They only realized what was happening afterward, and by then the two of them were already charred and cracked.
Lin Shan stayed far away. Now that he was more and more skilled, he used his supreme divine power again. If it didn't kill him, he would keep attacking. So this was the power of the domain!
For the first time, he experienced the ruthlessness of the Void Transformation stage, which was far superior to the Primordial Spirit stage.
If it were the old him, would he even dare to challenge someone of a higher level?
From this perspective, there is still a difference between the Dharma Realm and the Supernatural Power Realm, the fundamental reason being that the strength of the Dharma Realm is related to the Dharma Realm!
What your Dharma form is, that will determine what your subsequent realm will become.
If the Dharma form is ordinary, then the domain will also be ordinary; if the Dharma form is powerful, then the domain will become exceptionally powerful. This is very evident in the internal struggles among cultivators in the Void Transformation stage.
The internal struggle among cultivators is all about breaking through each other's domains and seeing whose domain is stronger!
As the foundation of the Nascent Soul stage, the Dharma Image is directly related to the strength of the Void Transformation stage. Therefore, it is especially important to lay a good foundation in advance. In particular, those who are peerless geniuses, have innate spiritual bodies, have true spiritual bloodlines, or are reincarnations of great beings can randomly draw several good Dharma Images to choose from during the Nascent Soul stage, even without doing anything special.
Lin Shan initially chose the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, which now appears to be a very high-level existence among Dharma Aspects, capable of suppressing those of the same level once he breaks through to the Void Realm!
He couldn't help but wonder how powerful the Disaster Star Domain would have been if he had chosen the Disaster Star Dharma Image as the core of his domain.
It's impossible to know for sure, but judging from that old thing called the Calamity Star in the sky hiding and cowardly, he definitely wouldn't dare to cover for himself if something happened. If he were to condense the Calamity Star Domain and reveal his identity to the public, he would definitely face endless troubles in the future. It's far less righteous than the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool.
Seeing the two Star Martial Emperors below struggling to move, being used as punching bags and constantly being whipped like tops, he felt a slight sense of tension.
Activating the domain for an extended period consumes a great deal of energy, and he is currently using the 'divine essence' of the Nascent Soul stage, without cultivating the Void Transformation stage techniques to transform it into 'void essence'.
This is a qualitative leap in power between different realms. Because he has not yet had time to transform, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation has no effect on the Star Martial Emperor's thick skin.
If given ten days or half a month to go back and learn the Void Realm cultivation techniques to evolve their spiritual power, these two people simply wouldn't be able to withstand the first round of supreme divine power!
The current domain is consuming my spiritual sea, and the supernatural powers are consuming the lightning liquid stored in the Dharma Aspect Cave Heaven. Every moment is a massive amount, so it is not advisable to delay any longer.
Now that we're familiar with the area and the warm-up is over, it's time to send these two test subjects to their deaths! (End of Chapter)
