Chapter 196: Crushing the God of Slaughter Domain!
Both of them were top figures among Titled Douluo. They understood the strengths and weaknesses of Beast Martial Soul True Body versus Weapon Martial Soul True Body better than most. Even so, they were equally confident in themselves.
Judging from the size of the Clear Sky True Body, Yu Yuanzhen concluded that Tang Hao's Spirit Power was around level 95, giving him a 2 level advantage. In a direct clash, he should be able to suppress Tang Hao.
Tang Hao, on the other hand, believed Yu Yuanzhen was level 96, only 1 level higher than him. With the advantage of a 100,000 year Spirit Ring and a weapon true body, he felt he could seize the upper hand.
Neither of them had accurately measured the other, and that was why their opening clash ended in a stalemate.
Still, even if the result wasn't what either side expected, it allowed both of them to confirm each other's strength.
"Tang Hao is much weaker than me, yet he still blocked my attack," Yu Yuanzhen thought. "I didn't expect a 100,000 year Spirit Ring to be this effective. With Tianlin's Spirit Ring configuration, it won't be long before he can absorb a 100,000 year Spirit Ring too. But 100,000 year Spirit Beasts aren't so easy to deal with. I need to prepare for him in advance."
"Yu Yuanzhen's Spirit Power level feels off," Tang Hao pondered. "Even my full power strike with the Clear Sky Hammer didn't drive him back. In that case, I'll use that move."
Once he decided, Tang Hao did not hesitate. He activated one of his trump cards without restraint.
A terrifying white light suddenly erupted from the hammerhead, which was as large as a small hill. It spread outward in an instant, swallowing both the giant dragon and the enormous hammer, each over 100 meters long, and covering a wide area.
Fortunately, Yu Tianlin stood far enough away to remain outside the range of the white light. Even so, the moment it appeared, he felt nauseated and oppressed.
That boundless white glow carried a bone chilling cold. It felt lifeless, as if it held nothing but endless killing intent.
"This is the God of Slaughter Domain."
The instant he sensed it, Yu Tianlin recognized it. It could only be the God of Slaughter Domain, the ability Tang Hao obtained from surviving the City of Slaughter.
From what Yu Tianlin knew, the God of Slaughter Domain could raise the user's attributes by 10 while lowering the opponent's attributes by 10.
That was only the most basic form. Domains could be strengthened as the Spirit Master's strength rose. With Tang Hao's current realm, he must have refined the God of Slaughter Domain to its peak, increasing his own attributes by 20 while suppressing the opponent by 20.
And that was only the baseline effect of deployment. The domain also carried terrifying domain skills, such as Killing Thrust and Asura Hell, which were even more brutal.
Tang Hao chose this moment to release it because Yu Yuanzhen had no domain of his own. Tang Hao clearly intended to seize the advantage and end the battle quickly.
Yes, that was the truth. Even though Yu Yuanzhen had reached level 97, he still had not cultivated a domain.
Domains were not something you automatically gained just by being strong. If a Martial Soul did not come with an innate domain, acquiring one through cultivation was extremely difficult. Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect was a classic example. He was level 96 and later even reached level 97, yet he still did not possess a domain.
People called the Clear Sky Hammer the strongest offensive weapon Martial Soul in the world, but it did not even have an innate domain. In that regard, it was not as convenient as the Blue Silver Emperor, which at least had the Blue Silver Domain. Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword also possessed the Seven Kill Domain.
As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, in theory it belonged to the true dragon category. By quality alone, it should have carried an innate domain, but in reality, it did not.
Yu Tianlin had his own guess. For generations, the clan's disciples had been forced to absorb sub dragon Spirit Rings in order to achieve dragonification. That meant their Martial Souls were stained with large amounts of low level dragon power, leaving them impure and unable to awaken a domain.
If that guess was correct, then after the Dragon Valley trip, all the low level dragon power inside Yu Tianlin had already been purified. From then on, he would only absorb the pure dragon power overflowing from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. In that case, it would not be long before he could awaken his innate domain.
But whether Tianlin could awaken one or not was a question for later. Right now, it looked like his grandfather had fallen into Tang Hao's God of Slaughter Domain and was at a disadvantage.
Yet Yu Tianlin was not panicked at all.
"Just because Grandpa didn't awaken an innate domain doesn't mean he never acquired one later," Yu Tianlin stared into the white light, his gaze deep. "If Tang Hao thinks he can win with a domain, he's mistaken."
Domains could also be obtained through cultivation. Some came from top tier Spirit Ring skills, others from top tier Spirit Bone skills.
As expected, Yu Yuanzhen's voice rumbled from within the white glow.
"So this is the reward for surviving the City of Slaughter. The so called God of Slaughter Domain is nothing special."
The existence of the City of Slaughter was no secret. With Yu Yuanzhen's status, it was only natural that he would know about it.
In the next instant, within the range of the God of Slaughter Domain, a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed. It swept outward like a tide, and the white light was completely neutralized, then absorbed by the lightning.
"What kind of domain is this?" Even Tang Hao's calm expression cracked. His shock was real. "It can suppress my God of Slaughter Domain this hard?"
His situation turned grim.
The lightning domain spread across the entire battlefield, completely replacing the area the God of Slaughter Domain had covered. The God of Slaughter Domain had no room to resist and was crushed outright. Even with Tang Hao forcing it out at full power, he could only wrap his own body and the Clear Sky Hammer in a thin layer of white light, barely shielding himself from the lightning domain's suppressive effects.
"As expected. The gap is too big. There's no suspense at all."
Yu Tianlin did not look surprised. If anything, it felt inevitable.
No matter how fierce the God of Slaughter Domain was, it could only represent the peak of humanity. How could it compare to a domain skill attached to a god level Spirit Bone? Unless Tang Hao took another step and reached the level of Tang Chen's Killing Domain, he had no chance of contending with it.
"Tang Hao, you will pay the price for attacking Tianlin!" Yu Yuanzhen's dragon roar shook the lightning filled space, and then a violent surge of energy rose, as if he was about to unleash a terrifying strike.
"Oh, you're serious!" Tang Hao's voice was no longer hoarse. He laughed wildly instead. "Hahaha! Whatever your domain is, I'll smash through it all!"
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out.
Because the entire battlefield was drenched in lightning, Yu Tianlin could not see exactly what happened inside. He only saw his grandfather's lightning domain suddenly churn violently, as if something enormous had slammed into it head on.
