Chapter 268 Dark Gold Domain
Normally, the domain skills of Soul Masters can only be used when their cultivation reaches the Soul Saint realm, with the help of the powerful external force of their Martial Soul True Body.
This can be said to be a rule followed by many Soul Masters. After all, the display of domain skills is often accompanied by powerful strength, and only the cultivation of Soul Saint realm plus the support of Martial Soul True Body is enough to support the casting of such powerful skills.
However, in the world of Soul Masters, there are always some unconventional beings who are exceptionally talented. They can use domain skills even if their cultivation level has not reached the Soul Saint level, thanks to the inherited power in their bloodline.
This unique advantage often makes them stand out among Soul Masters and become the focus of everyone's attention.
And Wu Heyi's name gradually became known in the world of Soul Masters.
His situation is different from that of ordinary soul masters and those geniuses who can unleash their domains through bloodline.
His sixth spirit ring contains a unique spirit skill called Dark Domain Attachment.
After Wu Heyi's cultivation reached the Soul Emperor level, a strange thing happened.
Although his armor could not undergo the same qualitative transformation as when he used his Martial Soul True Body after reaching the Soul Saint level, the overall strength of the armor seemed to be drawn by some force, automatically increasing to the strength of a Pseudo-Soul Saint.
And thus he was able to possess a domain, although he had not yet reached the complete state of using a true martial soul body, but this was still extremely rare.
However, in actual combat scenarios, simply using the metal attribute field inherent in the Snow Mastiff Armor is far from enough to overwhelm the opponent.
The metal attribute of the Snow Mastiff Armor is like a single-edged sword; although it has considerable power, it is not easy to gain the upper hand in a fierce battle.
Therefore, after weighing the options during the battle, Wu Heyi decisively chose to use the Dark Domain additional skill of his sixth spirit ring.
The moment he used this skill, a miraculous scene unfolded.
Beside his snow mastiff armor, numerous black and gray patterns gradually appeared. These patterns, like mysterious incantations, meandered and coiled on the originally bright silver snow mastiff armor, just as a dark cloud obscured the dazzling sunlight.
This instantly made the entire snow mastiff armor appear exceptionally deep and oppressive, and the bright silver light that originally radiated a sense of positivity and ambition was also suppressed considerably.
When the dark domain and the metallic domain of the snow mastiff armor merge into one, a wondrous reaction occurs, directly giving birth to the dark gold domain.
The appearance of this dark gold domain seemed to draw a special boundary on the battlefield.
In this dark gold realm, there is a special set of rules that apply to both sides.
Any enemy unit within this area will automatically have its defense reduced by 30%, as if their armor has been silently weakened.
What's even more terrifying is that for every minute these enemy units stay in the Dark Gold Realm, their defense will continue to decrease by 1%, just like sinking into a gradually sinking quagmire.
Conversely, all friendly units are as if blessed by the gods within this dark gold realm.
Their attacks all have a 30% penetration effect, just like finding a hidden weak point in front of a solid fortress.
Furthermore, each attack is accompanied by a special shadow attack, but the power of this shadow attack is relatively limited, only having 25% of the original damage.
Even so, this undoubtedly adds another sharp edge to their offensive capabilities.
After Wu Heyi applied the effects of the Dark Gold Domain, it was as if he was making final preparations for the intense battle to come.
He first twisted his neck joints, and a few cracking sounds were heard, as if telling of his owner's perseverance and determination.
Then he rubbed his wrist joints, which also made a cracking sound. These sounds were like battle horns, indicating that a fierce battle was about to begin.
Although keeping this dark gold domain open continuously would consume a huge amount of Wu Heyi's soul power.
It consumes about 5% of his soul power every minute, like a black hole that can never be filled, constantly drawing away his soul power energy.
However, battles between strong individuals often don't last long; a few minutes is usually enough to determine the winner.
In this brief but intense battle mode, Wu Heyi chose to take the risk of consuming so much soul power, so that he could gain an overwhelming advantage over his opponent at this crucial moment.
After making all the preparations, Wu Heyi took out the Thunderclap Staff from his body, holding one in each hand.
The Thunder Cudgel felt exceptionally light in his hands, as if it were in tune with his will and ready to charge into battle at any moment under his command.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, the Soul King of the Sun Empire was also on high alert.
He clearly sensed the power of a domain emerging around him, a power like an invisible giant hand trying to grab everyone within it.
However, he did not sense any direct attack in this area, so he secretly speculated that the so-called genius in front of him might just be a facade.
Although he saw that Wu Heyi had just displayed a blood-red spirit ring, which shone with a heart-palpitating light and gave off a strong sense of oppression, like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows watching him.
However, as a Soul Emperor himself, he felt he had no need to care about such so-called pressure, and his pride gradually took over.
However, as a Soul King who had experienced many battles, his cautious instincts prevented him from being completely careless.
So he unleashed two of his soul skills to deal with the potential danger.
He shouted, "Fifth Soul Skill: Shadow Shield!"
This shadow shield is one of his defensive weapons.
When this skill is activated, the resulting shield has a special effect.
Every time he is attacked, a shield will automatically be generated to withstand 50% of the damage from attacks that are no higher than his current combat power, like a solid city wall blocking the path of the damage.
What's even more amazing is that this shield has a 30% chance of mutating and turning into a shadow form. Once it turns into a shadow form, it can directly devour the opponent's attacks, just like a monster with its mouth wide open, swallowing its prey whole.
Immediately afterwards, he unleashed another soul skill: "Fourth Soul Skill: Shadow Demon Lion Transformation!"
Once this soul skill is activated, he can gain 10 times his own strength within 1 minute. This strength covers many aspects, including his own power, speed, defense, and soul power.
However, this soul skill is like making a pact with a demon.
Because it has serious side effects, if this soul skill is canceled within 1 minute, he will enter a weakened state. The specific degree of weakness depends on the length of time the soul skill is used.
However, if the deactivation is delayed for more than one minute, the consequences will be even more severe, directly deducting one's lifespan, with one year of lifespan being deducted for every minute.
However, the advantage is that each time he does this, his strength will permanently increase by 2 times.
In other words, the longer he continues to use this skill, the higher the combat power he gains by sacrificing his lifespan will be. First it will be 20 times, then 40 times, and if he continues to use it, it will be 60 times. This process will continue until his body can no longer withstand it.
Although the side effects of this soul skill seem daunting—after all, losing a year of lifespan every minute is no small matter—fortunately, these side effects are not entirely irreversible, and there are ways to remedy them.
