Sealed Divine Throne

Chapter 671: Cai’er’s Domain of Purification (II)

Translator: GravityTales

When the silver rays flashed, Cai’er still stood there, unharmed, but the farsighted people could all see that when the silver ray launched its attack, Cai’er’s body suddenly had an illusory look. All these rays pierced through her body, but when they disappeared, she came back to normal. That was obviously an extraordinary dodging technique.

Xue Zhisheng’s Twelve Spaces Domains’ amplification may actually rank his speed at the number one in the Alliance, but Cai’er still managed to evade him through her dodging techniques. Who wouldn’t be shocked by such a feat?

Suddenly, the Sickle of the God of Death suddenly slashed out in a direction, before coming back to normal, the Twelve Spaces Domain remaining the same. No one could tell what she was doing.

The only shocked one was the involved elder Xue Zhisheng.

Cai’er’s previous empty slash nearly caused him to splurt out blood, because her weapon slashed at his second attack’s trajectory. With his previous lesson, he now really didn’t dare clash against the Sickle of the God of Death, for fear of getting his pair of epic tier daggers destroyed. So at the time Cai’er moved her Sickle of the God of Death, he suddenly shifted trajectory unconsciously and interrupted his own attacking motion.

In fact, the Twelve Spaces Domain may give a great amplification to his attacking power, but his body would also be subjected to a great pressure. Suddenly stopping his course of attack immediately inflicted on him a severe backlash, and this oldest elder from the Assassin Temple was far from young anymore.

In their clashes, Cai’er had launched only one direct attack, but its whole process shocked Xue Zhisheng greatly.

To say nothing about the degree of power of her attack or the tyrannical strength of the Sickle of the God of Death, the fact that Cai’er managed to accurately predict his location went beyond this old man’s understanding.

Xue Zhisheng may not be the greatest powerhouse in the Alliance, but he was certain to be the greatest cultivator of the spatial attribute in the Alliance. He found no explanation as for how Cai’er managed to predict his own position. This should be impossible from his point of view, and immediately caused a loss of advantage on his side.

Also, after launching his first attack through his domain, he came to realize the fearfulness of Cai’er’s domain.

That peaceful looking lotus petal releasing domain had a horrifying side, even for someone of his level. His previous attack’s speed was monstrous, but it had to pass through Cai’er’s domain. Just by passing through, he felt the instant disappearance of one percent of the spiritual energy in his body.

To some cultivator of a rather low level, a percent may not seem significant, but to a powerhouse with close to three hundred thousand spiritual energy, one percent was a loss of three thousand spiritual energy. And he had only passed through it for one instant. If he were to fight her in her domain for a long time, wouldn’t his spiritual energy just get totally wiped dry? Furthermore, this purified spiritual energy was very possibly transferred to Cai’er. What a terrifying Domain of Purification.

Right because of these discoveries, Xue Zhisheng temporarily remained passive. His attacks were unable to land on Cai’er, and he would get purified by her domain. What could he do in such a battle? Furthermore her offensive strength was really domineering.

Xue Zhisheng had his hands tied for another reason, being that there’s no way he could really harm Cai’er. After all, Cai’er was the future hope of the Assassin Temple. Even if his thirst for authority were to be even greater, he was after all a member of the Assassin Temple as well. That is why his techniques of assassination could in no way be used in this exchange with Cai’er.

Feeling Xue Zhisheng’s silence, Cai’er made a move, revealing an indifferent smile. The Sickle of the God of Death was lightly waved in front of her, and immediately the petals on her domain curled up around its blade. At a lift of her right hand, it turned into airflows on the tip of her blade, shooting at the Twelve Spaces Domain’s gates.

This attack of hers immediately caused the twelve gates to twist violently, turning a large amount of spatial spiritual energy into a barrier.

This domain combining attack, defense and boost in one was really specialized for individual battles. He could proudly affirm that it ranked amongst the top compared to the overwhelming majority of other domains.

But unfortunately, Xue Zhisheng’s current opponent was that Cai’er, whose Domain of Purification was a result of the evolution from the Sickle of the God of Death after purifying the Slumbering Calamity Elux, causing her understanding of purifying death energy to rise sharply. In some sense, that was the true power of the God of Death, so how could the Twelve Spaces Domain even compare?

The white blade projection curling with silver light turned into nothingness, none of the twelve spatial gates having been destroyed, but Xue Zhisheng found out with shock that he had lost another hundredth of his spiritual energy. While maintaining one’s domain, the user would have no way to absorb any external spatial essence for recovery, unless that domain had some absorptive properties. And the Twelve Spaces Domain clearly didn’t have such an ability.

Cai’er lightly strode forward, and immediately, the Domain of Purification advanced alongside her. The Twelve Spaces Domain followed with some distance to keep them under its encirclement. Visibly, Xue Zhisheng was absolutely unwilling to see his own domain come into contact with the Domain of Purification.

All this while, Xue Zhisheng only had one winning strategy: to take advantage of the opponent’s consumption.

The full use of a domain would hugely use up one’s spiritual energy. From his previous judgement, Cai’er’s cultivation was below his by quite a gap, and since the Domain of Purification was quite a bit more powerful than his Twelve Spaces domain, it would undoubtedly use up far more spiritual energy. By letting this go on, Cai’er’s domain would be the first to need to be removed by her own initiative. That way he would win without need for a fight. And what if Cai’er would want to clash with his domain using her own? Xue Zhisheng was absolutely confident in his speed and ability to anticipate her actions.

As for Cai’er’s attacks, he only had to get out of their way. Xue Zhisheng held an absolute confidence in that Cai’er’s consumption would speed up while using her domain for attack. Although his consumption was large as well, his advantage in cultivation had to be accounted for as well.

Cai’er naturally saw through Xue Zhisheng’s tactic, and the spectators from the Assassin Temple watching from above did so as well. Her being able to force the elder chief to such a position, already gave them a complete approval of Cai’er deep inside. Without doubt, Cai’er was no weaker than Sheng Yue in cultivation, and being so young, the Assassin Temple would surely soar through new heights under her lead.

But was Cai’er’s strength limited to that? No, of course not. Everything that just happened was, in her eyes, just the start of her show.

The Sickle of the God of Death was slowly lifted, as Cai’er’s eyes turned gradually white, and the surrounding Domain of Purification bubbled up intensely, surrounding her body and wrapping her all around, making her looks unidentifiable from whichever direction.

If the previous Domain of Purification was like an immense white flowery alley, this Domain of Purification was like a flower bud formed of the overlapping of all those lotus petals, with Cai’er acting as its stamen.

_What is she planning?_ Including Xue Zhisheng, everyone raised this question deep inside. The next instant, an ineffable sense of crisis appeared straight into Xue Zhisheng’s mind, as he mobilized his own Twelve Spaces Domain.

A gaudy silver light kept twirling, as the twelve gates abruptly changed stance, uniting as one while superposing each other. One could see that these superposed gates were surrounded by black twists, which was a sign of an imminent spatial breakthrough.

Everyone familiar with Xue Zhisheng knew that this elder chief was the most powerful when in this state. Through the superposition of the Twelve Spaces Domain, he was able to actually teleport at a long-distance of over a thousand kilometers, as well as raise his attacks to a terrifying level.

The sense of crisis made Xue Zhisheng not dare show any more reservations. The white light of purification in front of his eyes suddenly weakened, as Cai’er reappeared in everyone’s line of sight.

The Domain of Purification had disappeared, but in Cai’er’s left hand had appeared a sparkling and translucent entity, an extremely compact white lotus flower.

Cai’er declared brightly, “Elder Xue, that’s my domain’s Flourishing Lotus Flower. Want to try it out? However, my mastery of it is still insufficient. I can launch it but cannot stop it.”

“No need, I concede.” Xue Zhisheng’s darkened voice resounded. The silver light vanishing, he stepped out, moving away from the Twelve Spaces Domain, and directed an extremely complex look to Cai’er.

The Sickle of the God of Death in her hand moved rhythmically, releasing a great amount of white threads which passed through the lotus in her left hand, as the petals came off, quietly dissipating, the whole process lasting close to half a hour.

Xue Zhisheng as well as the rest of the assassins stood in front of Cai’er and confronted her silently. The rhythmic movements of the sickle in her hand looked really artistic, giving them an even greater realization of the terror induced by that flourishing lotus flower.

Domains wielded by powerhouses of the ninth step also had different grades. Anyone reaching the second rank of the ninth step could wield a domain of his own, and the domain wielding powerhouses of the ninth step could almost be called existences at a whole other level.

Every individual would have a different domain, and its grade would determine future potential. The stronger the domain, the higher the future cultivating prospects would go, and that would also determine the feasibility of the domain itself evolving.

The reason why Li Zhengzhi had convinced Xue Zhisheng was right because of his understanding of his own domain having gone to the extent of producing a Domain Technique.

But just now, Cai’er actually used her own Domain Technique.

A Domain Technique could be called a product of the domain’s evolution. And out of all domains, not even one percent percent could evolve and give rise to a Domain Technique.
