Emperor

A faint trace of pale golden radiance flashed through the currents of air.

For the first time, the offensive of the five thousand-year soul beasts truly wavered.

The strange power of the "Emperor" Domain surged forth from the depths of Lu Mingfei's soul.

It had originally lain dormant deep within Lu Mingfei's bloodline, but now it was stirred by his limit state.

Like a sleeping volcano awakened by magma beneath the earth, it began erupting outward with an unstoppable momentum.

Pale golden light burst from Lu Mingfei's body.

It intertwined with his soul skill, Dustless Domain, producing a wondrous chemical reaction.

The air currents on the surface of Dustless Domain completely unfurled under the infusion of golden light...

The Earthfire Lizard's flames struck the air wall of Dustless Domain and were directly rebounded.

Not even a trace of heat could seep through.

The Ice Dragon Beast's frost condensed into a layer of white ice across the air's surface, yet Dustless Domain itself did not move in the slightest.

The Thunder Giant Python's arcs of lightning exploded against the air wall, leaving only a scatter of blue sparks before vanishing without a trace.

Lu Mingfei's first soul skill, Dustless Domain, underwent a qualitative leap under the enhancement of the "Emperor" Domain.

The attacks of the five thousand-year soul beasts were completely blocked outside.

Neither flames, frost, lightning, nor claws could leave the slightest mark upon that wall of air.

Lu Mingfei panted heavily and raised his head to look at the air wall before him, as solid as a golden palace. A strange feeling welled up within him.

He could feel the Emperor Domain's power continuing to spread outward.

That power seemed boundless, surging from the depths of his soul like a tide and staining the surrounding air with a faint golden hue.

A peculiar thought suddenly flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind...

What if he stopped suppressing the Emperor Domain?

What if, instead of carefully restraining its power, he allowed it to fully erupt?

The thought was like a spark falling into dry grass, quickly blazing into an almost instinctive impulse.

He took a deep breath and let go of every restraint.

Pale golden light exploded outward from Lu Mingfei as its center, like a small sun blooming upon the ground.

The light carried an authority and dominion from the very end of his bloodline. Everywhere it passed, the air itself seemed to grow heavier, filled with invisible pressure.

Then, a deep and distant dragon's roar emerged from within Lu Mingfei.

The roar was low and majestic. It pierced through the air, through the rock walls, through the soul power barrier, and echoed directly in the depths of every soul present.

It was a roar that seemed to have come from the dawn of creation.

Those who heard it could not help but want to kneel in submission.

The Emperor Domain was fully unleashed.

A pale golden halo spread outward, covering dozens of zhang around Lu Mingfei and enveloping Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Yu Tianjiao, and Meng Yiran within it.

Fine golden motes flowed along the edge of the domain, like stardust ignited by the setting sun.

Within the domain, everyone felt the resonance originating from the depths of their bloodlines at the same moment.

Yu Tianheng was the first to sense something unusual.

He was half-kneeling on the ground, clutching his wounds, when he suddenly felt a warm energy surge up from deep within his body.

That energy was unlike the soul power absorbed through cultivation. It came from the most fundamental source of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul...

The power of his bloodline.

He could feel his martial soul cheering, expanding, greedily devouring the golden light within the domain.

The light passed through his skin, meridians, and bones, directly merging into the core of his martial soul.

Yu Tianheng's bloodline purity rapidly increased.

It did not stop until it had risen by ten percent.

Then he saw his right hand.

Fine blue dragon scales appeared across the surface of his skin.

Each scale shimmered with arcs of lightning. His fingers became long and sharp, his nails extending into claws that glinted with cold light, while his entire arm was covered in a faint blue glow.

Dragonification!

His right hand had undergone dragonification ahead of time!

Yu Tianheng clenched his fist in shock. The abundant sense of power left him speechless for a moment.

According to the historical records of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Dragonification after martial soul possession could only possibly occur at the Soul Elder rank or above.

Yet at this moment, his right hand had truly become a dragon arm and dragon claw.

The sensation of power surging from his right hand was stronger than during any of his previous martial soul possessions.

Yu Tianjiao's condition at the side was equally astonishing.

The little girl felt a wave of heat rush through her entire body.

Her Rouge Dragon martial soul let out a delighted hum within her, and pink radiance bloomed around her body, brighter than ever before.

Her bloodline purity had likewise increased by roughly ten percent.

Although she had only one soul ring and had yet to display dragonification, the dragon's might she radiated was already in no way inferior to Yu Tianheng's before his dragonification.

Dugu Yan felt her Jade Phosphor Snake martial soul tremble violently within her body. A warm current flowed from the core of her martial soul and poured through her meridians into every part of her body.

Her snake tail tensed involuntarily.

A fine golden sheen appeared over her emerald scales, and her soul power became more condensed.

The enhancement effect of Jade Phosphor Red Poison also grew several degrees stronger.

Although her bloodline was not as pure as Yu Tianheng's, the domain's power still brought her a considerable improvement.

Meng Yiran was the same. Her Serpent Form soul skill became more supple and agile, and the range of motion in her twisting waist increased by twenty percent.

Faint scale patterns emerged across the surface of her body, and her strength made a small leap forward.

Yu Tianheng was the first to charge out.

He clenched the dragon claw on his right arm into a fist, and his second soul ring suddenly lit up.

Countless blue lightning arrows burst forth around him, densely flooding toward the thousand-year soul beast that had just climbed back to its feet.

It was the same soul skill and the same soul power expenditure, yet its power was at least several times greater than before.

The lightning arrows pierced through the Earthfire Lizard's dark red scales and detonated within its body in a series of muffled explosions.

The Earthfire Lizard let out a miserable shriek. Its massive body convulsed violently a few times before collapsing limply to the ground.

Yu Tianheng froze.

He lowered his head to stare at his blue dragon claw, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Yu Tianjiao followed close behind.

The little girl raised both hands, and pink light condensed in her palms into a thick Annihilation Ray.

She thrust it fiercely toward the Golden-Armored Dragon, and the pink beam blasted against its golden scales.

This time, the Golden-Armored Dragon did not merely receive a shallow scratch.

A distinct crack split open across its golden scales, and its huge body was knocked back, skidding several steps in succession.

Meng Yiran activated her soul skill.

Her body darted between the rock walls like a streak of green light.
