Chapter 272 - Chapter 272: Bullying the Weak, Fearing the Strong—Nothing More Than That

Afterward, Mu Yang began further testing the effects of the two domain powers.

Based on the current conditions, half an hour later, the actual effects of the Crimson Dragon Domain and the Phoenix Flame Domain were finally clarified.

Feng Xiaotian, who had no domain power, when facing Huo Wushuang's Crimson Dragon Domain, aside from the weak martial soul suppression from the Crimson Flame Crystal Dragon on his top-tier-quality Gale Three-Headed Wolf martial soul, would have his strength suppressed by an additional 30% on that basis.

However, Mu Yang's Iceflame Saint Shadow martial soul and Huo Wu's Phoenix Flame Shadow martial soul were not affected by the Crimson Dragon Domain. The effect of the Crimson Dragon Domain on Huo Wushuang was limited to a 30% increase in fire-attribute attacks.

Although Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix martial soul was restricted by the Crimson Dragon Domain, once she released the Killing God Domain to counter it, she would no longer be affected in terms of power.

Moreover, since Shui Bing'er could perfectly control the Killing God Domain while Huo Wushuang, due to just awakening his domain, could not control it proficiently, in the domain clash between the two, the Crimson Dragon Domain would be suppressed to within a few meters around Huo Wushuang.

Fortunately, the smaller the coverage of a domain, the greater the soul master's control over it; the larger the coverage, the weaker the control. Otherwise, Huo Wushuang's Crimson Dragon Domain would likely be directly forced back into his body by Shui Bing'er's Killing God Domain rendering the domain power useless, and even suffering a weakening effect from the Killing God Domain.

Because his martial soul was not a beast-type, the suppression effect of the Crimson Dragon Domain was ineffective against Huo Wu's Phoenix Flame Shadow martial soul. However, Huo Wu's Phoenix Flame Domain could suppress the Crimson Flame Crystal Dragon martial soul. Within the Phoenix Flame Domain, Huo Wushuang's strength was directly reduced by 30%.

However, likewise, domain power can counter domain power. When Huo Wushuang released his domain to counter it, he would no longer be suppressed by the Phoenix Flame Domain.

In addition, Mu Yang's second martial soul: the Iceflame Saint Shadow, which appeared to be fire-type but was actually a fusion of ice and fire Iceflame attribute was also not suppressed by the Phoenix Flame Domain, even without releasing domain power to counter it.

Of course, if Mu Yang were to perform a fire-attribute secret technique within the Phoenix Flame Domain, then the secret technique's effect would be suppressed by the Phoenix Flame Domain.

As for the Phoenix Flames that filled the Phoenix Flame Domain, this trait was essentially Huo Wu's large-area group attack ability. Against soul masters far stronger than her, it didn't have much effect, but in battles between equals or when overwhelming weaker opponents, the effect was excellent and the soul power consumption was very low.

Mm, this round of testing clearly proved one thing not only do humans and soul beasts bully the weak and fear the strong, domain powers are no exception.

When the strengths of both sides are relatively equal, the effect of domain powers in clashing with other domain powers apart from enhancing oneself is often unsatisfactory in terms of restricting the opponent.

Only when the opponent has no domain power or is far weaker in strength, even if they possess domain power, can one's own domain power display its most perfect effect.

Feng Xiaotian: Are you insinuating something about me?

Elsewhere, in Spirit City, the Worship Hall—

"Grandpa…"

Clinging to her grandfather Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue back in her female attire couldn't stop her tears from streaming down like golden beans.

"Xue'er, don't cry. Setbacks and failures are only temporary. Wherever you fall, get back up from there. Grandpa believes in you. You can definitely do it."

Patting his granddaughter's shoulder, Qian Daoliu comforted her gently.

In Mu Yang's view, the reason Qian Renxue failed aside from her excessive arrogance and underestimating her opponent's strength was mainly because Qian Daoliu had been hit with a "brain-debuff halo" and didn't send more experts to assist her.

Little did he know Qian Daoliu did it on purpose.

There was no doubt Qian Daoliu had a broad vision. Aside from Mu Yang, this transmigrator, there were few in the world who could match him.

In the eyes of the common people, the Heaven Dou Empire had great power and strength. But in Qian Daoliu's eyes, the Heaven Dou Empire was just so-so. The imperial throne of Heaven Dou wasn't worth much in his eyes.

Rather than letting Qian Renxue continue wasting time in the Heaven Dou Empire, it was better to bring her back to Spirit City early to inherit the "ancestral business." In the future, when Qian Renxue inherits the Angel God's divine position, what in the world would be out of reach? Among the billions of beings, who wouldn't bow before her?

Heaven Dou Empire?

As long as the Heaven Dou produces no god, under the divine power of the Angel God, the imperial throne can be decided with a single word! Otherwise, the Heaven Dou Empire would come to understand what it means for divine might to be like a prison.

It was precisely because Qian Renxue had a strong personality, desiring to prove herself to Bibi Dong, and also to temper his granddaughter's heart and will so that she could more smoothly complete the Angel God's Trial in the future that Qian Daoliu didn't call her back to Spirit City early.

For that reason, Qian Daoliu only sent Azure Luan, Glowing Feather, and three thousand soul masters to assist Qian Renxue in completing her plan.

If such a lineup could take the Heaven Dou Empire, then it would fulfill his granddaughter's wish.

If not, then it would be nothing more than child's play letting Qian Renxue experience failure and setbacks, and then obediently return home to inherit the ancestral legacy.

In any case, Qian Daoliu knew his granddaughter's character well. A temporary failure would not utterly discourage her. Instead, after facing defeat and setbacks, her fighting spirit would be reignited even stronger.

And this kind of mindset was exactly what was needed to complete the Angel God's Trial.

"Grandfather, am I useless?"

Wiping the tears from her face, Qian Renxue looked up at Qian Daoliu with grievance in her eyes.

In this world, the only person who could allow Qian Renxue to show her emotions without any reserve was her grandfather Qian Daoliu.

"Nonsense! Xue Ye of Heaven Dou has held the throne for decades, and that Ning Fengzhi has also been the sect master for many years. Xue'er, you're still young. It's normal that your schemes can't match those two old foxes."

"Besides, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan are both powerful. Your plan was seen through by those two old foxes. It's understandable that it failed."

Qian Daoliu immediately denied her words and followed up with an explanation to comfort her.

"Grandfather, that's not what I meant."

Pursing her lips, Qian Renxue shook her head.

Sixteen years of effort ruined in a day that certainly caused Qian Renxue immense grief in her heart.

But in truth, what hit Qian Renxue even harder was that Mu Yang and the other, both significantly younger than her, possessed strength far superior to her own. And most crucially, when her defeat was already certain, the two of them even acted to save her.

Ever since discovering that Mu Yang had advanced to the six-ring Soul Emperor level at just fifteen years old, and had even obtained the Killing God Domain, Qian Renxue who regarded herself as the number one prodigy of her generation had begun to feel an urgent sense of pressure.

When it came to the matter of deities, as the current heir of the Angel Clan, Qian Renxue undoubtedly understood far more than ordinary soul masters after all, her grandfather Qian Daoliu was the High Priest of the Angel God.

And the fact that the Slaughter City could grant soul masters the Killing God Domain this clearly was not something a 'mortal' could accomplish. It definitely involved the divine power of a god.

After all, not even her own grandfather who stood at the peak of humanity and was only half a step away from godhood could bestow domain power upon other soul masters.

Since the Killing God Domain was granted by the god behind Slaughter City, then with the talent Mu Yang had shown, it was not impossible that he had already attracted the favor of a deity.
