Chapter 555 - Domain of Divinity
GDK 555: Domain of Divinity
When Han Shuo ascended to around 800 meters, suddenly, he felt as though he had fallen into a new dimension.
Other than the intense element of darkness, all other elements were nowhere to be found. In that new region of space, the pure element of darkness seemed to possess the energy to alter anything. Even the four edictal forces were affected in this region.
The Domain of Divinity! These were the effects of the Domain of Divinity!
Only those of lowgod strength and above could deploy a Domain of Divinity. For example, within this Domain of Divinity that this Demon King Manticole had deployed, only the pure element of darkness remained. Experts that relied on the presence of elemental energy, would have none to feed off when they stepped into his Domain of Divinity. They were no different from a tiger without claws or teeth.
Only true gods that possessed divine power in their bodies could stop relying on elemental energy entirely. But nonetheless, even for gods who possessed divine energy, when fighting inside an enemy’s Domain of Divinity without elemental energy available to them, they would still be at a great disadvantage.
When two experts who were both in a Domain of Divinity got into conflict, they would form a region of space around themselves that was beneficial to them. In close combat, their Domains of Divinity would interact with each other, and the domains would recklessly gather the elements that the caster cultivated in. The one with the mightier Domain of Divinity would have their element found in that space with greater intensity.
Divine power, Domain of Divinity, their understandings of their elemental energies or edictal forces, and how strong their bodies were, would all be crucial factors in determining the victor in a battle between two gods. The recovery of divine power would usually require utilizing the elements. The one with the stronger Domain of Divinity would have more elements at their disposal, and therefore, they could better recover themselves using the excess of elements available, thereby taking the higher ground in a battle.
In short, the presence of Domain of Divinity was not only extremely useful for a god, but it would also give this god the advantage in a battle. But, of course, the Domain of Divinity wasn’t the only deciding factor of the outcome of a battle between gods. Their understanding and comprehension towards the manipulation of their elements or edicts; the strength of their divine energy; the strength of their body; these were all crucial factors as well. However, if both sides were basically on the same level on these aspects, then the one with the mightier Domain of Divinity would naturally have a greater chance of winning.
Besides that, the presence of the Domain of Divinity had the ability to overwhelm people’s heart with shock. Even a basegod, without having truly formed their own divine power would, upon stepping into the Domain of Divinity of a lowgod, immediately notice that the elements around them had disappeared. They would have no elements that they could use. As they did not have divine power in their body, if they were attacked, they would have no power to resist, but stand and wait to be slaughtered.
However, the souls of these existences weren’t as independent as the avatars formed using demonic arts. They had often too many fatal flaws and weaknesses. More frequently than not, they couldn’t simultaneously attend to two cultivations because of a lack in mental strength or a cluttered mind. They would get nowhere and forever be incapable of climbing to the pinnacle of strength.
Hence, although there were all kinds of talented characters from various planes of existence, they all solely cultivated in and studied one type of energy with practically not one exception. An existence like Han Shuo who cultivated in three different energies at the same time, one of them being the mysterious demonic arts, was something incredibly rare!
The two avatars achieved through demonic arts were miraculous, allowing Han Shuo’s cultivation to break free from the binding of the twelve fundamental forces while smashing conventional understanding. Although Han Shuo’s three souls had a single shared and common memory, the integrity of each soul was not compromised. From this aspect, although Han Shuo was just one person, he had the memories and mental capacities of three people, therefore he wouldn’t face the issue of having insufficient mental strength to cultivate different energies simultaneously; three bodies and three souls, each specializing in one type of energy.
When Manticole noticed that Han Shuo wasn’t talking and revealed a pensive expression, he waited until Han Shuo turned his gaze towards him, and smilingly said, “I know that you want to leave the Abyss realm. However, the interplanar portal of our Abyss realm is inside the Void. The Void is the most terrifying and mysterious place on our material plane. Even we, the five Great Demon Kings, need to wait until it is opened before we may carefully and cautiously enter. Are you sure that you wish to enter the Void?”
