"Of course!"
Aikar nodded, his figure still moving. Before long, he arrived in the sky a hundred zhang ahead of Lin Xuan.
"Do you know that at the Transcendent Realm, the gaps between cultivation levels are enormous—and the gaps within the same level are even greater?"
Lin Xuan raised a brow but did not respond.
That was merely common knowledge. The later one progressed, the greater the disparities became. Likewise, differing potential produced battle prowess within the same realm that differed as vastly as mountains and seas.
Ascending Immortal and Defying Fate—each step led to another heaven!
"Besides, there are two steps between you and me, and... our domains are different."
Pride blazed in Aikar's eyes.
"Oh?"
A flash of lightning crossed Lin Xuan's mind, and his gaze looked like he had discovered a new continent. "Could it be that you..."
"Death Domain... unfold!"
As Lin Xuan spoke, Aikar suddenly bared his teeth. Then he fiercely activated his domain, cutting off Lin Xuan's words.
In that instant, an incomparably majestic force erupted. The already murky sky above the Fighting God Gobi darkened several shades further.
The sky turned completely ash-gray, and endless Death Qi began to spread. That chilling majesty made even some living beings outside the Ancient Dou Shen Tu feel fear.
"Death Domain! Is this a Transcendent Realm domain?"
"What terrifying oppressive force. It is far stronger than a Three Thousand Realm domain."
"Lord Aikar truly deserves his title as an Earth Immortal Seed."
"His realm is higher, and his domain rank is higher. Lin Xuan is dead for sure!"
A Transcendent Realm domain corresponded to the level of the future Transcendent Great Dao. That was where domain ranks came from.
Domains evolved from Dao foundations condensed from the Three Thousand Great Daos were Three Thousand Realm domains.
