Chapter 728: A Clever Use of Domain
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The second Profound Mark of the three High-grade Marks on Yao Yue’s Heart Transcendence appeared with a more solemn, more overwhelming strength of the absolute freezing power.
In the blink of an eye, the ground around her was covered in ice. A chill wind whipped around her, bitterly cold.
Boom Boom Boom!
The Profound Tribulation descended with flas.h.i.+ng lightning and thunder targeted at Yao Yue.
The scene, however, didn’t frighten Yao Yue at all. After her second rebirth, she had obtained insight into the Deathless Technique of the Deathless Ice Phoenix. “Deathless” didn’t mean “won’t die,” but it was an incredible healing ability. Her healing ability was also quite different from Ye Mo’s which needed the power of the Light of Glorious Sun. Her body was equipped with this powerful healing ability now.
“The Profound Tribulation is descending. She’s entering the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm.”
The Demonic Elephant Patriarch couldn’t believe his eyes. “There’s no way I’ll let you enter the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm.”
In a flash, he began to summon his ace. With a forceful shake of his body, the Demonic Elephant Domain, one of the achievements of his diligent cultivation, was generated. His domain might not powerful as Fan Yi’s Chaotic Devil Domain, but he was determined to use it to stop Yao Yue’s advancement.
But, as soon as he generated the domain, the frightening Profound Tribulation hacked at it, and finally, the Demonic Elephant Domain shattered. The Profound Tribulation penetrated the domain and then hit Yao Yue. The intensity of the Tribulation had been reduced sharply as a result.
“Ahhhhhh! How? This just a Profound Tribulation of the Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm. How could it break up my Demonic Elephant Domain?”
The Demonic Elephant Patriarch nearly lost his mind witnessing his domain being hacked open by the Profound Tribulation. The domains were all evolved from Wills. If they reached the highest level, the domains could create their own s.p.a.ce.
The defense ability of his domain was undoubtedly rather strong. Even a Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert couldn’t damage it easily, but it was opened up by a single strike of the Profound Tribulation.
While the domain was destroyed, the body of the Demonic Elephant Patriarch was severely wounded as well, and his power decreased significantly.
“Absolute Zero!”
Ye Mo’s domain merged the Zhu Immortal Domain into the Gravity Domain. Within his domain, every attack was equipped with the Immortal’s Will and his opponents were oppressed by the power of gravity. Also, his domain’s defenses were also incredibly strong, since the edge of his domain was covered with the Rune Barrier.
But Yao Yue’s domain only had one trick- freezing, the absolute freezing.
As the domain expanded, the Transcendence Golden Body of the Demonic Elephant Patriarch was covered with a thick layer of ice. In the meantime, Yao Yue had entered the last stage of her advancement.
“Why is your domain so powerful? Who the h.e.l.l are you? You have such a rare talent, it’s impossible that you haven’t made a name for yourself in the Zone of Chaos.”
The Demonic Elephant Patriarch broke free from the ice trapping him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t even move a step in the domain. He felt like he was walking through solid ice.
The ice created by Yao Yue was the most frigid in the world, frozen for thousands of years.
Now he got it, he finally understood how Yao Yue and Ye Mo could deter Fan Yi.
While the Demonic Elephant Patriarch was trying his best to squeeze out of the domain, the entire domain disappeared in a second. Yao Yue floated in midair silently, like a holy queen of the ice world, staring down at him.
“How is this possible? You’ve completed your advancement already?”
The Demonic Elephant Patriarch could foresee his miserable ending and immediately transformed into flying flows of Demon Qi rus.h.i.+ng away.
“Freezing Thousand Miles!” Yao Yue said lightly, wielding the Freezing Snow Sword. A sharp Sword Qi was generated, attacking the source of the Demon Qi. There was an explosion. At the core of the Demon Qi source, the condensed freezing air exploded and froze all of the Demon Qi. Miles and miles of mountains were frozen, becoming icebergs. And the Demonic Elephant Patriarch was frozen inside and out.
“Withdraw!” Yao Yue demanded.
At once, the ice-covered land thawed. The corpse of the Demonic Elephant Patriarch was also unfrozen. He was deader than dead.
“What should I do now? I’ve advanced to the Mid-grade Profound Heavens Realm now, but I can’t sense any trace of Ye Mo.”
After Yao Yue slaughtered the Demonic Elephant Patriarch, she began to search for Ye Mo. But she couldn’t find any trace of him, nor any hint leading to Fan Yi. The pair seemed to have disappeared.
She frowned in rage. Her heart was filled with a strong killing intent that covering her surroundings in frost again.
“They must have escaped to somewhere far away. I have to find Ye Mo. He has no chance of beating Fan Yi alone,” Yao Yue murmured to herself and then disappeared in a flash.
At that very moment, Ye Mo was confined in Fan Yi’s Chaotic Devil Domain and couldn’t find a way out. But Fan Yi didn’t harm him right away. Instead, he brought Ye Mo to an especially secluded place.
“Ye Mo, your goose is cooked,” Fan Yi said menacingly. “What now? Are you ready to hand over the Devil Refining Gourd and Sky Blood Spear to me? If you do, I’ll spare your life.”
Fan Yi burst into a frantic laughter but his tone was quite patient. A moment later he fixed his stare at Ye Mo again, a mad intensity in his eyes. “But if you’re not obedient, then I’ll have to kill you right here.”
“Fan Yi, you really think you can keep me here? Or, do you think you can kill me?” said Ye Mo, weighing the situation in his mind. Apparently, the only reason that Fan Yi took him away to try to get his two treasures alone.
Ye Mo already knew that Fan Yi was able to h.o.a.rd his weapons in his domain. Originally, Ye Mo had the Mountain and River Diagram and could keep the Sky Blood Spear in that. Unfortunately, the Mountain and River Diagram had been destroyed. Now, Ye Mo had to carry the spear on his back, which left it easily spotted by others.
Within the Zone of Chaos, many top experts were from the same era as the Sky Blood Lady. As soon as they laid eyes on the Sky Blood Spear, they would recognize it at once.
One of the most important reasons that Ye Mo’s opponents always hunted him was that he always carried too many treasures with him.
In the beginning, people coveted his cultivation methods and chased after him. And then, he obtained the Mountain and River Diagram, and then the Sky Blood Spear, the sealing technique and the Devil Refining Gourd.
“Kill you?” Fan Yi asked. “I won’t kill you. I’ll keep you with me, and then I’ll exchange my Low-grade Celestial weapon to the Demonic Elephant Patriarch for that girl. Then I’ll start the Conjoint Training with her right in front of you.”
Fan Yi burst out laughing. Even though he couldn’t collect enough Demon Crystals this time and wouldn’t get any rewards from the first two stages of the battle, he was still a big winner. The value of the champion award in this battle could never surpa.s.s the value of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons, and he could get two of them right here.
“Zhu Immortal Domain, collect!”
Ye Mo, fully prepared, generated the Zhu Immortal Domain and both of the Sky Blood Spear on his back and the Devil Refining Gourd in his sleeve vanished.
“Fan Yi, I’ve hidden the Sky Blood Spear and the Devil Refining Gourd in my domain. How can you threaten me now?” Ye Mo said calmly.
“You? Did you just teach yourself how to hide treasures in a domain? You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d! If you weren’t stupid, you’d give me the Sky Blood Spear and the Devil Refining Gourd right now. Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”
Fan Yi raged. Hiding the treasures in a domain meant that he could never get them, even if he killed Ye Mo.
“Kill me? Kill me so you can get the Sky Blood Spear and the Devil Refining Gourd? You’d better let me out now and kill the Demonic Elephant Patriarch for me. Then, maybe I’ll consider giving the treasures to you,” Ye Mo said flippantly.
