God Realm Amusements! The Prototype of Innate Domains

Just as Zhuang Xingyu awakened his Martial Souls, every god in the God Realm, including the five God Kings, simultaneously sensed two immensely powerful primordial auras. It was not merely the oppression of Soul Power, but the crushing force of the Dao—the Law Domain!

They felt the god positions beneath them trembling in fear! Even more incredibly, those god positions were excited, wanting to pursue those two auras.

For a time, the God Realm was thrown into turmoil, and the gods were terrified. They never could have imagined that the god positions they had fused with for hundreds of thousands, even millions, of years would want to abandon them today.

The likes of the Sea God, who had created their own god positions, were especially devastated enough to question their lives. It was one thing for other god positions to want to run off, since they had been inherited from the previous gods—but the Sea God position was created by me! Why did you want to run too?

"What's going on? What's going on? I'm about to crack apart!" quite a few gods cried out in terror.

Fortunately, the situation did not last long. After roughly a dozen breaths, everything returned to normal, as though nothing had happened.

The five God Kings hurriedly communicated with the God Realm Origin and searched the entire God Realm and its affiliated planets. Yet they found nothing unusual.

Left with no choice, the five God Kings could only step forward and deceive everyone: the previous incident had been caused by the God Realm Origin transmitting a message. The God Realm Origin might be about to advance, and everyone's god positions might have a chance to break through. Everything in the God Realm was perfectly normal!

Very quickly, the unrest in the God Realm was suppressed. The gods thanked the five God Kings for their years of hard work and dedication! They all believed the God Realm would grow ever stronger.

The next day, a god who wished to remain anonymous accidentally revealed that the Nine-Colored Goddess had been dating the Fire God and the War God at the same time, only to be caught red-handed by her husband, the Food God. There was even a Recording Stone as evidence. For a time, the gods buzzed with discussion and completely forgot about what had happened the day before.

However, during the Dragon God era, all Nine Dragon Kings had possessed the realm of God Kings. At that time, the God Realm had more than twice as many Rank 1 Gods and Rank 2 Gods as it did now. Still, the gods tacitly chose not to mention this matter.

Let us turn our attention back to Zhuang Xingyu:

"Alright, Xingyu, Zihan, you're still young. Once your cultivation rises, I'll naturally tell you certain things. Knowing too much now would be detrimental to your cultivation," Murong Yunxue explained to Xingyu and Zihan.

At that moment, Zhuang Xingyu's Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Martial Soul suddenly manifested on its own. It radiated black and white light as it rapidly spun around Zhuang Xingyu, eventually forming a circular yin-yang diagram beneath his feet.

The Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler Martial Soul was not to be outdone either. It released waves of golden radiance, forming a Golden Wheel of Merit behind Zhuang Xingyu. The wheel consisted of nine upright layers and nine inverted layers. With every additional layer, its power would double.

The Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler itself contained an immense amount of merit. Zhuang Xingyu merely needed to continuously increase his strength to release that merit and add more layers to the golden wheel.

Furthermore, the Golden Wheel of Merit possessed the abilities Shift Stars, Cause-Effect Reversal, and Effect to Cause.

Zhuang Xingyu felt energy coursing through his entire body. He could even contend with a Soul Grandmaster now! The Blue Silver Domain he had obtained earlier had yet to awaken. After sensing it, he found that it could awaken once he reached level 30.

Then, once he went to the City of Slaughter and obtained the Slaughter Domain, he would have four domains! He could study domain fusion skills then. That would definitely be an enormous trump card.

"Domains? They're actually twin innate domains carried by his Martial Souls? Heavens! Did my nephew save the world in his past life?"

"More accurately, they are prototypes of domains. They have not fully awakened yet. Judging by their current degree of awakening, they should completely awaken around the Soul Ancestor or Soul King stage." Murong Yunxue, with her vast experience, had keener eyes and saw through the truth at once.

"Good, good, good! Xingyu, what exactly are these two domains of yours?"

"My two domains are called the Extreme Yin Yang Domain and the Primordial Merit Domain! The Extreme Yin Yang Domain can increase all my abilities by 30%. Every ten levels I gain, it will increase by another 25%. Right now, it can last for half an hour, and its duration will increase as my Soul Power rises.

"The Primordial Merit Domain has two effects. The first is Shift Stars. Regardless of the opponent's Soul Power, it can unconditionally reverse 10% of the damage they deal. For every ten levels of Soul Power I gain, it can reverse an additional 5% of the opponent's damage.

"Moreover, this effect has an ultimate move. Once every thirty days, it can unconditionally reverse an enemy's damage once. It cannot be accumulated and has no side effects!

"The second effect is weakening. Against enemies with lower Soul Power than mine, it can weaken all their abilities by 30%. Against enemies whose Soul Power is higher than mine, it can weaken them by 20%. At present, it can weaken one person. For every ten levels of Soul Power I gain, it can affect one additional person. As for range, both effects work anywhere within two kilometers. As for duration, they can currently last for one hour.

"The effects of these two domains can stack with each other."

The other five people in the hall were already so stunned that they went blank. With these two domains, aside from lacking healing abilities, Zhuang Xingyu had every other ability maxed out—long-range support, long-range attacks, close combat, and more. Even a pig could become invincible within the same realm and leapfrog opponents as easily as drinking water.

As for healing, he would gain it once the Blue Silver Domain awakened. At that point, Zhuang Xingyu would be an all-around Soul Master! He would not need a Soul Master team at all—one man would be a team!

Especially the ultimate move of the Primordial Merit Domain. It was practically an extra life every month! Think about it: if an enemy struck at you or your friend with all their strength, and you reversed it, they would surely be killed or severely wounded by their own ultimate attack.

Not to mention that Zhuang Xingyu himself was already the most outstanding genius on the continent. Would anyone among his peers still be a match for him? There was no one now, and there would be none for a hundred thousand years before or after him.

"Come on, son. Let's work together. Later, weaken an enemy for me." Zhuang Jingxing, ever the lively one, could not wait to fight a team battle alongside his son.

"No! Are you insane? Our son just awakened his Martial Souls. How can he fight? He needs to rest properly right away." Li Xuanhua immediately stopped him and twisted Zhuang Jingxing's ear.

"Ah, ah, wife, son, I was wrong! I was just joking. How could I possibly make my precious son fight for real? I was just too excited." Zhuang Jingxing immediately admitted his mistake and begged for mercy like a child, making everyone burst into laughter.

"Alright. Xingyu's two innate domains are to be kept strictly confidential. They must not be spread outside. After we eat, Xingyu, you should rest as soon as possible. This afternoon, I'll teach Xingyu how to better use his domains. Then, spend the next two days adapting to your Soul Power. The day after tomorrow, we'll go to Sunset Forest to hunt a soul beast.

"I know the location of a Yin Yang Demonic Bear around six hundred years old there. It is perfect for Xingyu. Xingyu was born with divine strength, and I sensed him again just now—his physique is exceptionally strong. Combined with his two domains, he can absolutely absorb this soul ring safely." Murong Yunxue also possessed a domain herself, the extraordinarily powerful Ice Fire Domain. No one was more suitable to teach Zhuang Xingyu.

Murong Yunxue immediately laid out the most appropriate plan. She truly deserved to be the family's real helmswoman. An elder in the family was indeed like having a treasure!

The others had no objections. After all, they knew Zhuang Xingyu's physical condition well. Coupled with the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Martial Soul and his two innate domains, they naturally would not follow that bullshit "Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls."

For such great clans with inheritances, there was a set of theories suited to their inherited Martial Souls regarding the age of soul rings they could obtain. These theories had been continuously tested and revised over more than a dozen generations, allowing them to maximize Combat Power without damaging their foundations.

For example: eating more soul beast meat from childhood, testing physical strength, methods for circulating Soul Power, Self-Created Soul Skills, specially prepared medicinal baths, Whale Rubber, and so on.

That was right, you read that correctly. The Pure Yang Sacred Leopard Clan knew about the effects of Whale Rubber. Other forces on Douluo Continent knew as well. Among the clans known to the Pure Yang Sacred Leopard Clan alone, there were two others, but everyone guarded against one another and never made it public.

When Zhuang Xingyu had first awakened his memories, he had planned to ask his parents to find Whale Rubber. Later, he discovered that the food the clan distributed every month to direct disciples and above already contained it, and it had even been processed to eliminate its side effects. However, the clan did not tell anyone what it was. They merely had everyone eat it on the spot and forbade them from spreading word of it.

There was also a special cultivation method used to conceal the age of soul rings. Of course, although Whale Rubber was good, it still depended on the person. Those in the clan who had used Whale Rubber could generally exceed the soul ring age limit for their level of Soul Power by 30%. For example, if the limit for a fourth soul ring was five thousand years, those who had used it could reach six thousand five hundred years.

That was already incredibly impressive! One had to know that in Douluo Continent I, anyone capable of reaching the soul ring limit was among the continent's absolute top geniuses.

Logically speaking, the Upper Three Sects, the Two Great Empires, and Spirit Hall should all know this knowledge. This was a fantasy world, after all. In order to increase their strength, people dared to eat anything and use anything.

This was especially true for those burdened by blood-deep vengeance or nearing the end of their lifespan. They were even more reckless. Over the hundreds of thousands of years of Douluo Continent's history, nearly everything that could be used had been explored.

Some of this knowledge was monopolized by major forces, while some was taken into the grave by individuals. Yet the powers of Douluo Continent changed rapidly, so such knowledge was constantly leaking out, being innovated upon, and then being sealed away again. However, these treasures were rare, and everyone was busy cultivating. Aside from a very small number of people who deliberately studied them, most of this knowledge gathered dust in the core libraries of their respective factions. Over time, few people knew about it anymore.

The three Titled Douluo of the Pure Yang Sacred Leopard Clan back then had been especially interested in such knowledge and collected a great deal of it.

Yet none of it had been mentioned in "Douluo Continent I"!

That was the difference between novels and reality! In novels, in order to highlight Tang San's strength, supporting characters were deliberately weakened in certain respects!!! For example, Qian Renxue had Innate Soul Power at level 20 in the original work, yet her first soul ring did not even reach the soul ring limit. With Qian Daoliu's knowledge and Spirit Hall's foundation, they should never have made such a low-level mistake. Could it have been Bibi Dong meddling behind the scenes?
