Golden Crow Domain (Q Reading Release)

Yu Tianheng was knocked unconscious by a single kick from Su Chen. By the time he woke up, it was already the next day.

His eyes were dull as the scene of himself being knocked out by one kick replayed over and over in his mind.

He was Yu Tianheng, the foremost member of the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yet not only had he lost, he had lost in an utterly humiliating fashion.

He had completely disgraced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

That very day, he left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and prepared to return to Thunder Gorge to enter seclusion and break through to rank 30 Soul Power.

He did have more pride than Xue Beng. He had not wailed and cried while looking for someone to complain to.

Instead, he planned to challenge Su Chen again after breaking through to Soul Elder, relying on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.

Speaking of Xue Beng, the fellow who had survived until the end in the original story and even become emperor.

After recovering from his injuries, his debauched nature flared up again. He went to an inn in the city to indulge himself, only to be found dead in the inn's artificial lake the following day.

The death of a prince was no trivial matter. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family dispatched numerous consecrated experts to examine Xue Beng's cause of death. After repeated inspections,

they confirmed that Xue Beng had become delirious from drinking and, after bedding ten women in one night, had fallen into the artificial lake on unsteady legs and drowned.

He had not been murdered. It had been purely an accident.

When Xue Ye learned of this, he was so enraged that he could not eat for an entire day. Disgusted that Xue Beng had disgraced the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, he completely suppressed news of Xue Beng's death.

At this point, only Xue Ye's eldest son, Xue Qinghe, remained among his four sons.

Whether Xue Ye trusted or suspected Xue Qinghe in his heart, Xue Qinghe was now his only choice.

Xue Beng was dead, and he had died in an extremely undignified manner.

Xue Xing was terrified. He did not believe that Xue Beng had truly died by accident.

It had definitely been the work of his ruthless and merciless eldest nephew.

He had originally been busy gathering nobles to his side, but now he directly holed himself up in his prince's residence.

When the news reached Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Su Chen was surprised by Qian Renxue's decisiveness.

If the Qian Renxue from the original story had possessed such decisiveness, she would have seized the Heaven Dou Empire long ago.

How could Tang San, who appeared out of nowhere midway through, have ruined her plans?

From the age of nine to twenty-nine, Qian Renxue had wasted the finest twenty years of her youth.

A coup depended on acting decisively, seizing power as swiftly as possible, then redistributing benefits.

She had spent twenty years laying out her plans, only to fail in the end. Wasn't that just idiotic?

Qian Renxue appeared intelligent, but she was actually rather foolish.

She gave people the impression of being deeply calculating, yet unable to calculate anything clearly.

With Xue Qinghe's protection, coupled with the exceptional talent and strength he had displayed,

Su Chen established himself firmly at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Every day, he merely read books, basked in the sun, and watched his Soul Power rise rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, another year and a half passed.

Su Chen broke through to rank 30 Soul Power.

With only a third Soul Ring left to obtain, he could become a Three-Ring Soul Elder.

He requested leave from the academy and went to ask Qian Renxue to help him hunt a soul beast.

Qian Renxue valued Su Chen even more than the Heaven Dou Empire. Since Su Chen needed a third Soul Ring, she set aside a mountain of affairs concerning the Heaven Dou Empire and brought She Long and Ci Xue with her to accompany Su Chen into the Star Dou Great Forest.

After searching for some time, they found a seven-thousand-year Scarlet Sky Crying Phoenix in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qian Renxue felt that this soul beast's age was too high.

But Su Chen insisted!

With no other choice, since he wanted it, she gave it to him.

She ordered She Long and Ci Xue to bring down the Scarlet Sky Crying Phoenix, then had Su Chen deliver the fatal blow.

"Shriek—"

A mournful cry abruptly ceased.

The Scarlet Sky Crying Phoenix died completely, and a deep purple Soul Ring floated out from its corpse.

Qian Renxue's willow-like brows furrowed slightly, concern flashing through her eyes as she uneasily tried to persuade him.

"Little Chen, are you sure you want to challenge a seven-thousand-year third Soul Ring? How about we lower the age? Shall we hunt a five-thousand-year soul beast instead?"

Su Chen stared intensely at the purple Soul Ring and refused without hesitation. "Sister Xue'er, don't worry. I'll be fine."

After saying that, Su Chen immediately sat cross-legged and summoned the purple Soul Ring.

As the Soul Ring entered his body, scorching, tyrannical, and vast energy swept through his meridians, turning his entire body red as though molten lava were burning him.

Su Chen looked like a cooked shrimp. Sweat poured from countless pores across his body, and waves of heat burst forth, instantly evaporating into white steam.

Qian Renxue watched with her heart clenched. Once Soul Ring absorption began, outsiders could no longer interfere. Now, Su Chen could only rely on himself.

She Long and Ci Xue exchanged looks, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes. An ordinary Soul Elder could absorb, at most, a fifteen-hundred-year Soul Ring as their third ring. Even Soul Ancestors could not absorb a seven-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Perhaps they were truly about to witness a miracle.

Time passed second by second.

Suddenly, golden-red light erupted from Su Chen's body.

In an instant, it enveloped Qian Renxue, She Long, and Ci Xue. Golden-red flames ignited across their bodies, startling all three into swiftly retreating beyond the range of that golden-red radiance.

The golden-red light covered an area ten meters around him. Wherever it reached, golden-red flames burned.

Flowers, grass, and trees all caught fire. Even the sand and soil began to burn.

The scorching flames distorted the air.

Waves of fire swept outward, causing Qian Renxue, She Long, and Ci Xue to feel searing pain on their skin.

Qian Renxue cried out in shock.

"This is the power of a domain!"

"Little Chen's Three-Legged Fire Crow Martial Soul actually awakened domain power upon reaching Soul Elder. The level of this mutated Martial Soul is likely not far inferior to my Six-Winged Angel."

After the surprise came joy!

Su Chen and Qian Renxue could merge their Soul Power and jointly unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The stronger Su Chen became, the happier Qian Renxue was.

At that moment, Su Chen had entered a special state.

Over the past few years, he had comprehended the Sun Immortal Scripture. Aside from strengthening his physique and accelerating his Soul Power growth, it had also given him an extremely profound understanding of the power of the sun and the power of the Golden Crow.

While absorbing his third Soul Ring, his accumulated insights finally erupted. His understanding merged with the Great Sun Golden Crow Martial Soul, stimulating the Great Sun Golden Crow's origin and allowing him to awaken the Golden Crow Domain.

Su Chen's consciousness became one with the Great Sun Golden Crow, and he grasped every effect of the Golden Crow Domain.

Burning!

Annihilation!

Evilbreaking!

Solar Eclipse!

Heaven Patrol!

It possessed five major traits in total. The most basic burning effect was the Golden Crow True Flame within the domain, which could continuously burn enemies and leave them with a burning mark.

Perhaps because he had only just awakened the Golden Crow Domain, Su Chen could temporarily use only its burning effect.

Annihilation, Evilbreaking, Solar Eclipse, and Heaven Patrol would require his strength to improve further before they could gradually evolve.

Especially Heaven Patrol, the ultimate evolution of the Golden Crow Domain. Su Chen would need to break through to Soul Sage at the very least before he could unleash its power.

By then, even fighting a Titled Douluo would be effortless.
