"I'm not entirely certain either." Jia Yi fell silent for a moment. "But what I can say for sure is that Yang Wu is the second powerhouse to possess an ability similar to a domain."
"At the very least, I've never discovered that the world's second strongest, Lei Shen, possesses a similar ability!"
Hongning Base City.
After hearing the Auxiliary Intelligence's reminder and watching the video it sent over, Hong wore an expression of surprise and shock, mixed with a hint of confusion.
"Domain—this is definitely the Gold Domain!" Hong's eyes blazed. "I never imagined that the world's second person to possess a domain wouldn't be Lei Shen, but Yang Wu!"
Hong's voice was loud, and the three Planet-level guards beside him could all hear him. His words left the three guards utterly stunned.
"Hall Master, if I remember correctly, Yang Wu only broke through to the Planet level a few months ago. He already possesses a domain?" Bing Shan looked completely dumbfounded.
Even though he had seen Yang Wu's domain and vaguely guessed as much, he still found it incredibly hard to believe.
Breaking through to the Planet level so quickly was one thing, but he had actually comprehended a domain as well!
It had to be known that from the Great Nirvana period until now, several dozen Planet-level powerhouses had emerged over the course of decades.
Yet until Yang Wu had just broken through to the Planet level, only Hong possessed a domain in the entire world.
The other Planet-level powerhouses' talents could be considered ordinary, but Lei Shen's talent was far from poor.
Lei Shen was known as the strongest in power and fastest in speed. He often sparred with Hong, yet hadn't he also failed to comprehend a domain?
But now, Yang Wu, who hadn't even been a Warrior a few months ago, had become a Planet-level powerhouse in the blink of an eye—and had even comprehended a domain. It was simply a miracle!
"Actually, when I saw him improve his Force Exertion back then, I already felt that he was a genius." Hong sighed with deep emotion. "But I never imagined he would be this much of a genius!"
"Moreover, I've been invincible and lonely for far too long. I finally have a true opponent!"
With a thought, Hong took out the spear he had not used in a long time and silently walked out of the cultivation chamber.
"Hall Master, are you planning to...?" The three guards were instantly startled.
As Yang Wu was returning, his Communication Watch suddenly lit up. He received a call request from Hong and immediately answered it.
"Yang Wu?" Hong's voice rang out.
"It's me." Yang Wu smiled.
"Haha, how does it feel to have comprehended a domain?" Hong's voice also carried a hint of delight.
"Not bad." Yang Wu replied calmly.
Ever since he had just comprehended a domain, a domain was no longer Yang Wu's goal. The Source Law was!
"So calm?" Hong's voice was filled with astonishment. "If that living treasure Lei Shen finds out, I wonder if he'll die of anger."
He wasn't wrong. After learning of this, Lei Shen had nearly gone mad with rage.
After all, he and Hong had risen to prominence together during the Great Nirvana era. Over the decades, they had left the other Planet-level powerhouses far behind.
Yet even though his actual combat strength surpassed Hong's, he still wasn't Hong's opponent. That was because Hong had comprehended a domain.
He had comprehended that wondrous power for decades, yet had never managed to understand it.
This made him wonder whether his talent was truly inferior... or whether the domain was simply Hong's Planet-level innate ability, which was why he had been unable to comprehend it.
But now Yang Wu had overtaken him from behind and also comprehended a domain. Only then did he clearly realize that a domain was not an innate ability at all, but an insight surpassing Artistic Conception.
When he had first learned that Yang Wu had comprehended a domain, Lei Shen's mind had indeed gone blank.
But after recovering, Lei Shen could not help revealing a trace of delight.
Although it was unexpected, this was a good thing.
Just like the last time he had obtained the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, the guidance Yang Wu provided on the correct Force Exertion for the first two layers of the True Nine-layered Thunder Blade had allowed him to successfully improve the Nine-layered Thunder Blade.
Now, the ninth layer of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade had given him Ten Times Force Exertion!
And this time, if he could obtain guidance again, perhaps he really could comprehend a domain.
An hour later, Mingyue Community.
Hong arrived here, but there was also an unexpected guest—the guest was Lei Shen.
After learning that Yang Wu had comprehended a domain, Lei Shen had hurried over as well.
"You really comprehended a domain?" Lei Shen got straight to the point.
"A domain?" Yang Wu smiled. "That's right!"
"Ahem, could you demonstrate it and let me see a domain different from Brother Hong's?" Lei Shen looked eager.
Lei Shen wasn't the only one who was curious. Even Hong was extremely curious.
For example, what exactly were the properties of the domain radiating golden light from Yang Wu's body? Was its nature the same as his Light Domain?
Yang Wu nodded calmly. Then, with a thought, his physical strength, Origin Force, Telekinesis, will, consciousness, and other powers fused into one, transforming into a unique Gold Domain.
Yang Wu's Gold Domain had already reached the Fourth Layer, so it was clearly more solid now, and its might was greater than Hong's domain.
Within Yang Wu's domain, even Hong and Lei Shen felt tremendous pressure.
"It really is the power of a domain, and it feels even stronger than Brother Hong's domain!" Lei Shen was extremely startled.
Hong closed his eyes and quietly sensed Yang Wu's domain.
After remaining silent for a moment, Hong opened his eyes and activated his Auxiliary Intelligence as well.
With the Auxiliary Intelligence's help, he was shocked to discover that Yang Wu was already a Planet-level Seventh Order Warrior and Spiritual Master!
Although he was shocked, Hong had long been aware of Yang Wu's rapid rate of progress, so he did not doubt his entire understanding of life.
Even so, Yang Wu reaching the Planet-level Seventh Order within a few months was still a miracle Hong could never hope to replicate!
"Your domain is indeed stronger. Is it because you've reached the Planet-level Seventh Order?" Hong looked at Yang Wu in confusion. "Or has your domain advanced further?"
"Planet-level Seventh Order?" Lei Shen looked utterly bewildered.
With Yang Wu's guidance, he had successfully reached Improved Force Exertion. At this point, he felt that he was progressing even faster in physical strength and Origin Force.
Yet he had not expected that there would always be someone better, and greater heights beyond the heavens.
Yang Wu had only just broken through, yet he had reached the Planet-level Seventh Order within a few months. It was simply unimaginable.
That reminded him—he had heard Hong mention that Yang Wu possessed Mu Ya Crystal... something that could allow him to increase his strength more quickly.
But even if he were given a vast amount of Mu Ya Crystal, he was certain he still could not advance this quickly!
"It can be considered due to my domain advancing further." Yang Wu smiled. "My domain has reached the Fourth Layer!"
"What?" Hong and Lei Shen looked completely dumbfounded, their hearts surging with stormy waves.
His strength had increased quickly enough, but his comprehension was also this high? He had comprehended the Four-layered Domain in just a few months. Was he even going to let other people live?
Comparing oneself to others was infuriating!
"Yang Wu, how did you comprehend a domain so quickly, and even reach the Fourth Layer?" Lei Shen's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Yang Wu.
"Just luck, nothing but luck. Or perhaps it was simply due to my comprehension." Yang Wu chuckled.
How could he tell Hong and Lei Shen that because of a portion of Dragon Blood, not only had his bloodline reached the Planet level, but he had also gained the Golden Horned Beast's Gold Law of the Origin Talent?
