Yan Chengyun's words were cut short by the changing domain of Mu Jinyu.
He watched Mu Jinyu's newly unveiled azure domain, and his expression turned somewhat grim.
Initially, seeing Mu Jinyu also comprehend the domain, he was confident that he could hold his own against Mu Jinyu.
He even thought he could surpass him, as his cultivation was, after all, higher than Mu Jinyu's.
However, if Mu Jinyu had comprehended a second layer domain, then he might not be Mu Jinyu's match!
Just like Intent Domain, where one can comprehend many, an average person can generally master only one domain in a lifetime. But for geniuses, there's no such limitation.
Domains differ from Intent Domains; comprehending multiple Intent Domains simply means having more techniques to handle various killer moves.
However, the destructive power of a domain is too great. Once an opponent is trapped within it, they're deprived of the ability to control the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. Its power far surpasses Intent Domain by a hundredfold!
Even a first layer domain is enough to overwhelm an opponent; with another layer, it's almost impossible for them to turn the tide!
"Boom!!"
Just as Yan Chengyun felt it was thorny, the situation on the field changed again!
Mu Jinyu's azure domain vanished once more, revealing a transparent domain invisible to the naked eye!
"What is this?!"
Seeing this scene, Yan Chengyun's breath became rapid, veins bulging on his forehead as if about to burst.
He gulped with difficulty, lamenting inwardly, "Third layer domain?"
Not only did Yan Chengyun see through Mu Jinyu's transparent domain, but Xiao Wudao and others also noticed that Mu Jinyu had unleashed another layer of domain.
Although it was colorless and not as easily identifiable as the previous red and azure, the oscillation of this domain was easily discernible for those who had similarly mastered, or almost touched the realm of domains.
"What kind of monster is this guy? Even cultivation from the womb shouldn't be enough for this!"
"I've lived for one hundred and twenty years, and I've only comprehended the domain with half a foot, unable to establish it and control a side of the world. This... truly maddening when compared to others!"
Though Xiao Wudao was equally shocked by this scene, it was much less so than the others.
Because he had long suspected that Mu Jinyu's domain wasn't something he had comprehended for a while, but rather something sparked by Yan Chengyun's inspiration, allowing for rapid mastery.
Hence, even if more layers were inspired, he wouldn't be too surprised!
"Alas... not too good..."
Mu Jinyu was unaware of everyone's shock and envy and was lamenting that his domain's effect wasn't adequate.
After being inspired by Yan Chengyun's domain, he smoothly comprehended the domain and first used "Blood Refining the Sky" to set up a bloody domain, within which he could control the Qi and Blood Power of his enemies!
Then, he used his Life Source Energy, essentially the "Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art," to set up the azure domain, within which he could control the vitality of people!
The final transparent domain was constructed using the movement technique "Fleeting Light Shadow."
This layer of the domain wasn't as terrifying as the former two, which controlled Qi and Blood and vitality!
It had only a few effects.
First, within this domain, Mu Jinyu could teleport freely without any hindrance. As long as the domain wasn't broken by force, he could never be caught within it.
Second, he could perform "Fleeting Light Shadow" at the Divine Mastery Level, creating innumerable doppelganger illusions with some strength.
Although this domain didn't possess the destructive power of the first two layers, if enemies were trapped within, they would be toyed to death by Mu Jinyu!
Xiao Wudao's thought indeed wasn't wrong; if Mu Jinyu wished, he could derive more domains with different effects using the "Killing Character Secret Technique."
However, after deriving three-layer domains, he found that each fell short of the Ghastly Presence of Xiang Mantang; hence, he lost interest and stopped further derivation.
Mu Jinyu currently harbored only one doubt in his heart: What realm was the residual soul of the Demon attached to Xiang Mantang's body?
Was it the strongest Unity Realm Stage in Kunlun Ruins?
Or was there an even higher level of realm?
Mu Jinyu felt that the Demon's strength likely exceeded the Unity Realm Stage.
After all, with all his means, he could only lay out a domain of about one hundred meters, but the Demon's Ghastly Presence, even under Xiang Mantang's desperate suppression, still possessed a terrifying range of over a thousand meters!
If it weren't in a residual soul state, could it cover the globe entirely with the Ghastly Presence when fully unleashed?!
With such thoughts, even having comprehending three-layer domains simultaneously, Mu Jinyu felt no joy.
He only felt that he was still far behind!
"Come on!"
As Mu Jinyu pondered Xiang Mantang's situation, Yan Chengyun regained his senses, his face serious, and with a sudden shout, his pitch-black domain transformed, encasing him, becoming a fifty-meter giant Northern Swallow!
"Yan Returns!"
Yan Chengyun controlled his domain, transforming it into a swallow, diving fiercely toward Mu Jinyu!
"Hmm?!"
Mu Jinyu snapped out of it, seeing Yan Chengyun's strange move, his gaze sharpened.
"Is this a domain technique?"
Watching Yan Chengyun's maneuver, Mu Jinyu wasn't overly alarmed; he felt his own domain could withstand Yan Chengyun's killing move!
So, he wanted to see what a true domain technique was like.
"Screech!"
A piercing swallow cry resounded, the massive black swallow instantly penetrated Mu Jinyu's body.
"Is he dead?!"
"Has he won?"
The onlookers, initially terrified by Mu Jinyu's consecutive three-layer domain exhibitions, grew increasingly pessimistic about Yan Chengyun's ability to defeat Mu Jinyu.
But now, seeing Yan Chengyun unleash a forbidden domain technique and Mu Jinyu seemingly standing frozen, letting Yan Chengyun attack, and being penetrated by his domain.
They all wondered if indeed Mu Jinyu had fallen to Yan Chengyun.
After all, the domain technique's destructive power was exceedingly terrifying, even if Mu Jinyu had comprehended three layers of the domain, standing still to let Yan Chengyun attack would be undoubtedly fatal.
However, Xiao Wudao felt that Mu Jinyu should...
Not so easily fall to Yan Chengyun!
"The Yan Kingdom Scholar has won!"
The Yan Kingdom Royal Family descendants, seeing Mu Jinyu penetrated by Yan Chengyun's domain killer move, shouted in relief and joy.
Yan Ran, on the other hand, looked grim, restless, and somewhat despondent!
Even Jian Ruyan and Wen Rou, who had immense confidence in Mu Jinyu, couldn't help but reveal some tension and anxiety on their pretty faces upon seeing this.
However, their joy was short-lived.
They saw Mu Jinyu, who had been pierced by Yan Chengyun, shatter suddenly, dispersing into glittering starlight and disappearing.
"Is this... a residual image?!"
Their cheers came to an abrupt stop at seeing this scene.
Like ducks quacking chaotically, suddenly having their necks squeezed!
