Domination Domain

Biodata

History

The Domination Domain manifested alongside Xia Ming's Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff martial soul immediately after his awakening. Its appearance without any soul ring led Yan Shaozhe, Du Weilun, and Wang Yan to identify it as an innate domain—a trait they considered possible only for a super martial soul. 2

During its first activation, the domain allowed Xia Ming, who had not yet obtained a soul ring, to strike with force Yan Shaozhe judged comparable to a high-level assault-type Soul Elder and approaching the threshold of a Soul Ancestor. 2

Xia Ming later displayed the domain before Mu En at Sea God Pavilion. Mu En praised the combination of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff and its innate domain as exceptionally heaven-gifted before accepting Xia Ming as his final disciple. 6

The domain became a standard component of Xia Ming's early combat style. He activated it during his first battle in the Star Dou Great Forest and later combined it with his first two soul skills against an Evil Soul Master. 8 28

Appearance

When activated, the Domination Domain manifests as a gold-and-black ring beneath Xia Ming's feet, accompanied by black-gold energy flowing into his body and an oppressive beast-like phantom. 2

• The field is described as dark-gold during Xia Ming's later battles. 50
• Its emergence is accompanied by a vague roar and the majestic pressure of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff. 2
• Xia Ming's eyes gain a golden glint while the domain is active. 2

Abilities & Skills

Universal Enhancement

The domain is a pure augmentation ability that strengthens Xia Ming without requiring a soul ring.

• Increases Xia Ming's attack power and defense “geometrically.” 2
• Heightens his five senses to an unprecedented degree. 2
• Enhances the base effects of all his abilities by more than fifty percent. 2
• Infuses his soul power with a wild, battle-oriented will. 2
• Its initial activation produces no stated physical burden or negative sensation. 2

Physical Force Amplification

The domain allows Xia Ming to concentrate his reinforced physical power into direct attacks.

• Xia Ming's first domain-enhanced punch produced a sonic boom when it struck Yan Shaozhe's palm. 2
• Before obtaining any soul rings, that punch was assessed as rivaling a high-level assault-type Soul Elder and nearing Soul Ancestor-level power. 2
• Against the Wind Baboons of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xia Ming's possessed and domain-enhanced soul power and explosive force slightly exceeded theirs despite their combat experience. 9

Soul Skill Synergy

Xia Ming routinely layers the Domination Domain with martial soul possession and augmentation-type soul skills.

• Against an Evil Soul Master, he activated the domain together with Red-Gold Transformation and Titan Strength. 28
• After acquiring his first two soul rings, his stacked buffs—headed by martial soul possession and the domain—gave him strength and defense comparable to a top-tier Soul Saint. 50
• At four rings, Xia Ming continued to activate the domain alongside his full soul-ring configuration when preparing for battle. 56

• Golden Domain — Xia Ming's Fourth Soul Skill, separate from the innate Domination Domain. It suppressed an eighty-thousand-year Deep Sea Demon Whale to less than one-tenth of its normal strength within its area of effect. 59
