Chapter 92: Crisis Moment: Awakening of the Innate Domain

Qian Renxue intensified her power accumulation; she knew Nan Feihuang could not hold on for long. Although he had used his own special constitution and three soul skills to raise his combat power to a level comparable to a Soul King,

the consumption was also immense. Furthermore, a Soul King could not possibly be a match for a 20,000-year-old Light Spirit Beast.

If not for his exquisite footwork and halberd techniques, a conventional Soul King expert would have likely been defeated long ago.

This was not an academy teacher assessing a student; the Light Spirit Beast was out for Nan Feihuang's life, using its full strength in every move to attack his vital points.

Nan Feihuang had narrowly escaped death several times.

The wounds on his body were also gradually increasing.

"It's no good, if this continues, Feihuang won't be able to hold on. Forget it!" Seeing this, Qian Renxue could no longer restrain herself, regardless of whether her soul power had accumulated to its limit.

Her fifth soul ring lit up, and she flapped her wings to charge out.

"Feihuang, move aside! Fifth Soul Skill: Sacred Sword!"

This was Qian Renxue's strongest ultimate technique at present, a long sword condensed from Holy Fire, which could also serve as a hand blade. Its attack power was extremely formidable, and it could also increase the purification effect of her own Angel Soul Power by 300 percent. If an ordinary Spirit Master were struck by this sword, their own soul power would first dissolve significantly, and coupled with the physical injury sustained, they would lose a layer of skin even if they did not die.

It was a pity that today, Qian Renxue could only unleash at most 50 percent of the Sacred Sword's power; whether she could kill this Light Spirit Beast remained an unknown.

Hearing Qian Renxue's call, Nan Feihuang pushed his North Star Immortal Trace movement technique to the limit, stepping on the seven stars and walking the celestial path, instantly retreating several feet with a ghostly, unpredictable figure.

Even the Light Spirit Beast could not capture his movements for a moment.

In fact, this Light Spirit Beast possessed great wisdom. Even if it could catch up to Nan Feihuang, it could not be bothered to pay him any mind. Firstly, its target for appearing was Qian Renxue, and secondly, it knew very well that Nan Feihuang was no match for it; that explosive state could not last long at all.

The battle had lasted less than three minutes, and by now, Nan Feihuang had already consumed at least half of his soul power. If he fought for two more minutes, he would become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

On the contrary, this woman possessed extremely strong combat power; resolving the enemy's main force first was the best plan for victory.

Therefore, it had actually been holding back its strength just now, specifically to guard against a surprise attack from Qian Renxue.

"Ugh!!!"

The Light Spirit Beast let out a wolf howl. Compared to the Sky Wolf Howl of the Silver Moon Sky Wolf that Nan Feihuang had once faced, the power of its howl was even more immense.

The sound waves even turned into a tangible physical attack, blocking Qian Renxue's Sacred Sword.

"Damn it, this guy has actually been on guard against me the whole time," Qian Renxue said angrily. "But, you had better not underestimate the power of my Angel Clan!"

Qian Renxue's voice was calm yet cold, and the sacred sword in her hand tore through the Light Spirit Beast's sound waves with all her might.

The Six-Winged Angel martial soul was indeed powerful. In this state, Qian Renxue could still steadily suppress a 20,000-year-old Spirit Beast. If she were in her prime, killing this Light Spirit Beast alone would likely not be difficult.

It was just a pity that she now appeared too lacking in stamina.

The wisdom of the Light Spirit Beast led it to realize this point as well, so even though it was at a disadvantage, there was not a hint of the panic a beast would show when encountering danger on its wolf face.

Nan Feihuang's expression changed. "Oh no, Xue Jie has fallen for its trap."

He realized that the Light Spirit Beast's purpose in using this attack was not to defeat Qian Renxue, but to use force to cancel out force. Even if the Sacred Sword could tear through its wolf howl to strike it, how much power would the move have left by then?

The Sacred Sword did not carry a True Damage effect; the remaining force would likely not even be able to tear its skin.

Unfortunately, it was too late to warn Qian Renxue now; she had no way to retract her force.

The Sacred Sword slashed through the Light Spirit Beast's attack. This clash was indeed won by Qian Renxue, but just as Nan Feihuang had expected, the remaining force of the sacred sword only left a red mark on the Light Spirit Beast's neck, failing to cut through its formidable flesh at all.

Because the forces of both sides had canceled each other out, Qian Renxue's already insufficient Sacred Sword became illusory once again.

"It's over!" Qian Renxue's heart shook. Her first strike had failed, and she had no power left for a second. Most terrifyingly, the Light Spirit Beast, which clearly belonged to the holy element, revealed an evil grin at this moment, and in the next second, it opened its bloody maw to bite at her neck.

"Damn it, I have no power to defend right now!" Qian Renxue felt despair in her heart. At this moment, she could not muster a single bit of soul power. To turn defeat into victory in this situation, there was only one way: the Innate Domain of a god-level martial soul, the Angel Domain.

But no matter how powerful the Angel Domain was, using it required soul power as a foundation.

"Don't you dare hurt her!" Nan Feihuang shouted in anger. "God General Domain!!!"

Suddenly, another domain swept over. Caught completely off guard, the Light Spirit Beast was directly sent flying.

"This is... Feihuang's Innate Domain has actually awakened at this moment!" Qian Renxue was both surprised and happy, and also somewhat moved. After all, this child had forcibly pushed out his own Innate Domain to save her.

Domain-type soul skills were the finest among soul skills.

Generally speaking, they only appeared when a Spirit Master reached the Title Douluo realm and attained their ninth soul skill. Moreover, the probability of them appearing was only one in ten.

There were other ways to obtain them: one was through particularly powerful soul bones, which could also come with domain skills, such as the Bingdi Torso Bone of the later Huo Yuhao, which came with Bingdi's domain. Another was through special methods, such as being bestowed by a god after passing through the Hell Road of Slaughter City, or through Spirit Fusion Skills like those of the Chrysanthemum and Ghost of the Spirit Hall.

But these were just domains, not Innate Domains.

An Innate Domain was an innate skill of a martial soul. It did not belong to soul ring skills, nor soul bone skills, and certainly not Spirit Fusion Skills. As long as one had sufficient soul power, it could be used at any time. Within one's own domain, one's own strength would be amplified, while the opponent's strength would be suppressed. As long as it was used properly, the effect would be extremely terrifying.

Only martial souls of extremely high quality could possess an Innate Domain.

In Nan Feihuang's memory, among the top-level martial souls that possessed Innate Domains, there were only a few, such as Bibi Dong, Chen Xin, and Sea Dragon Douluo.

Even top-level martial souls inherited by the Upper Three Sects, such as the Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, did not have Innate Domains.

But once reaching the god-level martial soul stage, basically every one of them absolutely came with an Innate Domain. Therefore, although Qian Renxue was happy that Nan Feihuang had awakened his martial soul's Innate Domain at a critical moment, she was not too surprised.

There was another strong point to an Innate Domain: it was not restricted by the rule that Twin Spirits could not be used simultaneously. Even when Bibi Dong was using her Soul Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul, she could still use the Death Domain of her Death Spider Emperor.
