This sudden change shocked everyone; their hearts sank to the bottom, and the worst possible scenarios flashed through their minds.
Although Kong Deming, as the Worship Hall, did not lead the Worship Hall in the Sun Moon Army's attack, he even saved Super Douluo of the Star Luo Empire.
But he was, after all, a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire!
Therefore, everyone felt that this peace talk was a trap. Kong Deming had used the pretext of peace talks to lure the core forces of the three kingdoms to this place, intending to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
A murderous aura suddenly arose within the main hall, and chaotic currents of Soul Power surged wildly, threatening to escalate into a bloody battle.
However, in the split second between the powerful warriors of the three kingdoms unleashing their Soul Skill and the fierce battles fought to protect their lords...
Kong Deming gently pressed his palm forward, which was covered by silver armor.
There was no earth-shattering roar, no world-destroying Soul Skill light.
Only an invisible and intangible force, centered on him, spread out instantly like the gentlest yet most irresistible ripples, sweeping across every corner of the hall.
Time seemed to have been quietly stolen away at that moment.
Space seemed to be frozen by an invisible hand.
All the bursts of Soul Power froze in mid-air, all the angry shouts and cries were stuck in their throats, and all the figures intending to charge remained in the same posture as a moment before.
At that moment, it was as if the entire hall had been put on pause.
No... not just the entire main hall, but even the entire Qianxin City, seemed to have transformed into an incredibly realistic three-dimensional painting.
People's consciousness remained active, but their bodies were completely immobile, and immense fear instantly gripped everyone's hearts.
Fortunately, this strange state only lasted for a second, after which the invisible binding force receded like a tide, and everyone regained their ability to move.
However, that brief moment of being unable to control their own destiny left an indelible mark of fear on everyone's hearts.
The Super Douluo, who were originally poised to fight to the death to protect their master, froze halfway through their actions, looking ahead with surprise and uncertainty.
Kong Deming made no further attack; he simply stood there calmly, the light of his silver armor gentle and restrained, as if the terrifying scene of time freezing just now was not his doing.
This forced them to suppress the urge to break out immediately, but their Soul Ring still flickered, their Soul Power stored up but not released, as they vigilantly locked onto Kong Deming's every subtle movement.
For a moment, the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring.
Just then, Kong Deming's face, covered by a veil, seemed to twitch, emitting a low but clear laugh.
He deliberately suppressed all his outward aura, and the mask on his face disappeared, revealing a calm expression beneath.
He spread his hands, making a harmless gesture.
"Gentlemen, there's no need to be so tense. If I truly harbored ill intentions, I could have done many things in that brief moment."
"I'm sure you all felt something was wrong with yourselves during that brief moment just now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Tianyang Douluo, the guardian Douluo of the Heavenly Soul Empire, snorted heavily, his body radiating intense fire-attribute soul power.
" Silver Moon Douluo's strength Tongtian; he subdued us all with a flick of his finger. I admire his skill!"
He began with a curt compliment, then his gaze sharpened, and he stared directly at Kong Deming without fear. "However, in this place of peace talks, to suddenly resort to such tactics—is it to flaunt our strength and intimidate us?!"
His questioning also expressed the sentiments of the vast majority of people present.
Despite Heavenly Sun Douluo's blunt questioning and the many questioning gazes, Kong Deming remained unperturbed.
He slowly shook his head. "Show off? Use your power to intimidate others?"
" Heavenly Sun Douluo's words underestimate me."
At that moment, a powerful voice came from the Shrek Academy seats. "It's a domain."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Xuan Zi, the Sea God Pavilion Master of the Shrek Academy!
As a Level 98 Super Douluo, only one step away from the legendary Limit Realm, Xuan Zi's perception of power was far more acute than that of most people present.
"That instant just now wasn't simply a matter of Soul Power suppression."
"That's the power of a domain. Only a domain could so completely disregard individual differences and bring all of us to a near standstill!"
The word "domain" caused the hall to fall silent. For most Soul Master, domain-type Soul Skill are synonymous with rarity and power.
Kong Deming turned his gaze to Xuan Zi and nodded slightly. "That's right, what I just used was indeed the power of a domain."
His frank admission only deepened everyone's doubts.
What exactly was he trying to say?
Is it merely to prove that one owns a domain?
Isn't this just showing off strength?!
"My title is Silver Moon, and my Martial Soul is also Silver Moon, primarily possessing spatial attributes."
"However, none of the nine Soul Ring I possess, and none of the nine Soul Skill they grant, are domain-type Soul Skill."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
No one doubted that Kong Deming would speak carelessly about such matters; given his status and power, he would surely disdain such things.
But how is that possible?
Those present were all powerful figures from various factions. After Xuan Zi's reminder, they were certain that what they had just witnessed was the power of Spatial Confinement Domain!
Kong De doesn't possess any domain-type Soul Skill, so where does his domain come from?
Countless eyes were fixed on Kong Deming, a mixture of shock, bewilderment, inquiry, and longing...
They even forgot that this was the site of peace talks between the four countries, and they also forgot about the Federation system that had just been proposed.
Now, all they have in mind is curiosity about the outcome and a pursuit of their own strength!
Kong Deming took in everyone's reactions; he knew he had laid enough groundwork.
He slowly raised one arm, the silver-white Three-Word Battle Armor shimmering with a mysterious luster under the light in the hall.
"You must all be wondering, if this domain power doesn't originate from Soul Ring and Soul Skill, where does it come from?"
"The answer lies in this armor I wear!"
The name " Battle Armor " is no longer a secret.
Since the continent-wide high-level Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament seven years ago, the new type of Soul Tool Armor developed by the Sun Moon Empire's Worship Hall, which can significantly enhance the overall combat power of Soul Master, has come into the view of various forces.
People know it is powerful, and they know it seems to require a tailor-made approach, which is why it is so rare.
Thanks to its early cooperation with the Worship Hall, the Star Luo Empire acquired dozens of sets of equipment, a strategic advantage that even the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling envied.
Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo Emperor was particularly shocked at this moment. He had a set of custom-made One-Word Battle Armor and knew that the boost it brought could indeed lead to a qualitative leap in combat power.
But he had never imagined, much less dared to think, that Battle Armor could... grant a domain?
With a faint smile that seemed to see right through people, Kong Deming spoke again, "As the Worship Hall research, the technology of the Battle Armor is constantly being updated and iterated!"
His gaze swept over Xu Jiawei: " The Battle Armor traded with the Star Luo Empire is merely the most basic One-Word Battle Armor."
"Afterwards, our Worship Hall devoted itself wholeheartedly to research and improvement, finally breaking through the bottleneck and developing an even more powerful Two-Word Battle Armor."
Kong Deming's tone suddenly became solemn and uplifting. He slightly raised his arms, allowing the silver armor to shimmer even more mesmerizingly in the light.
"After countless failures and explorations, not long ago, the Worship Hall finally achieved a groundbreaking breakthrough, successfully developing the Three-Word Battle Armor!"
"And what I am wearing now is the Three-Word Battle Armor!"
"Only Soul Master with a cultivation level of Soul Saint or higher can wear the Three-Word Battle Armor. However, even a Soul Power Soul Master who has just entered the Soul Saint at level 71 can reach the level of Titled Douluo by wearing this Three-Word Battle Armor!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the entire hall gasped in shock.
One-Word Battle Armor can raise a level 50 Soul Skill to level 70, while this Three-Word Battle Armor can actually raise Soul Saint's Soul Power to the level of Titled Douluo!
The further Soul Master progresses in their cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to increase their Soul Power.
Although both involve increasing Soul Power by twenty levels, the difficulty is absolutely incomparable.
Everyone's chests heaved violently, their breathing rapid, as they stared intently at the silver-white Battle Armor on Kong Deming's body!
Seeing the fervent gazes of the crowd, Kong Deming continued, "The biggest feature of the Three-Word Battle Armor compared to the previous two Battle Armor is that it can imbue the Soul Master uses it with a domain!"
boom!!!
Everyone was shocked, finally understanding where that powerful Spatial Confinement Domain had come from!
