Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era
Chapter 523 - 256: The Power of the Domain
With the strength of one, oppose the entire Exorcist Civilization!
Chu Xiu gazed at the continuously reborn guards and ghosts attacking from all sides, feeling a headache coming on.
"So, how should we break the domain?" Chu Xiu asked.
Jiang Miaoyin, knowing time was pressing, transferred all the information she knew to Chu Xiu almost as quickly as she could.
"There are usually three methods."
"The first is the simplest yet the hardest, which is to use absolute power to destroy everything within the domain. As long as the damage to the domain reaches a certain extent at once, the structure of the domain will be destroyed, and it will no longer be able to regenerate."
"Of course, if such a powerful output cannot be provided at once, dragging it out slowly is also possible. Although the power of the domain will continuously regenerate, there is always a limit, much like a marathon runner whose fatigue gradually accumulates. There was once a predecessor who spent a whole three years exhausting a Demigod’s domain."
"The second is to find and directly eliminate the Master of the Domain. Once the master dies, the domain will naturally collapse with it. However, most domains possess the trait of Concealment, so this method is also very difficult."
"The last method is to destroy the domain’s structure with a special attack. A domain is essentially a special kind of Array, and any Array includes foundational structures like the Array Hub. An Awakened proficient in this Dao can break the array and thus dissolve the domain."
Jiang Miaoyin obviously had considerable knowledge about domains and immediately explained the main methods of breaking them, but after listening, Chu Xiu felt no relief and instead found his head aching.
He couldn’t accomplish any of those three methods!
The only viable option seemed to be using the Ghostly Legion combined with the power of the Celestial Dragon Golden Pill to exhaust the energy within the domain, killing the ghosts and guards until they could no longer revive.
But Chu Xiu wasn’t sure if this plan would work. Although his Ghostly Legion had expanded significantly since the Trial and he had the aid of the Mythical Artifact Celestial Dragon Golden Pill, making it possible to confront Heroic Spirits even in the short term.
Yet these ghosts had been absorbing Yin Qi beneath this city for a full two thousand years, forming a terrifying domain.
Even if he could indeed exhaust the opponent, Chu Xiu wouldn’t do it, for it would inevitably mean his Ghostly Legion would suffer heavy losses. He had entered the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace World to strengthen the Ghostly Legion, so why would he undertake such a loss-making deal that sacrifices the essence for the trivial?
"Then what if we don’t aim to destroy the domain, but just to escape from it?"
After calmly considering for a while, Chu Xiu decided on retreat.
At this, Jiang Miaoyin sighed in relief: "This is much simpler."
"Although the domain can confuse the spatial positioning and direction relationship within it, the overall space size does not change."
"If we keep escaping in one direction, the opponent would have to continuously deplete the domain’s power to change our position, thus giving us a significant advantage."
As Jiang Miaoyin saw Chu Xiu’s contemplating expression, she hurriedly added, "Senior, now is not the time for risk. We should first leave and return after better preparation, which is the best strategy."
"Moreover, I suspect that the ghost trapping us hasn’t even used its full strength yet. Each domain possesses its unique trait, and if this domain’s trait is Reappearance, then the organisms it can regenerate are far beyond what we see now."
Hearing Jiang Miaoyin’s words, Chu Xiu no longer hesitated.
"Let’s go!"
As his words fell, a fierce wind immediately erupted around, with surging Demonic Qi pouring out of Chu Xiu’s body, forming a frenzied tornado. Four High-tier Ghost Generals appeared nearby, working with the five Celestial Dragons above to unleash Divine Techniques. Celestial Fire and Yin Wind resonated instantly, and the vast energy surged forward like a stormy sea, annihilating all the guards and clearing a path in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the Master of the Domain seemed to perceive their intention, and a voice filled with resentment echoed in the field: "Humans, you’ve destroyed my home, and now entering my domain, do you still think you can leave alive?"
As his words ended, a bright light suddenly burst forth in front of Chu Xiu as if the sky had cracked open, beams of light pouring down from above the domain.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a gigantic crashing sound, enormous figures descended from the sky, and when the dust cleared, Jiang Miaoyin was shocked to discover they were all guards of the Holy Spirit!
The twenty-seven King Tier Holy Spirits crushed by Chu Xiu were reborn within the domain!
And it wasn’t just that; above these twenty-seven Holy Spirits floated eight figures. Those eight figures were hidden in the clouds, indistinct, with only a faint glow descending, resembling Celestial Gods appearing in the Mortal world, and each exuded a powerful energy wave!
"Roar!!"
The Holy Spirits emitted an earth-shattering roar, and dense black mist enveloped their massive forms, making them look like spectral ghosts wandering through the clouds. They moved quickly, their heavy footsteps resonating throughout the entire hall!
"Roar!"
One Holy Spirit suddenly flashed, shredding a ghost before disappearing back into the darkness.
This scene made Chu Xiu’s face turn gloomy, and with a cold snort, he unleashed a surge of Demonic Qi, instantly melting a Holy Spirit.
But just at the moment of that Holy Spirit’s death, another beam of light fell, and as if reborn, the Holy Spirit reappeared, completely unharmed, descending again from the beam!
