After that flash of silver light, Cai’er stood there as if nothing had happened. But anyone with discerning eyes could see that when the silver light attacked, Cai’er’s body suddenly became a bit illusory, allowing the silver light to pass through her body. When the silver light disappeared, she returned to normal. It was clearly a special method of evasion.

With the amplification of the Twelve Domains of Space, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Xue Zhisheng’s speed was now the fastest in the Alliance. But even under these circumstances, Cai’er was still able to dodge with her skills. How could this not be surprising?

Suddenly, Cai’er’s Death God Scythe made a feint in one direction, then returned to normal. The Twelve Domains of Space remained silent. No one understood what she was doing.

The only one who was truly shocked was Elder Xue Zhisheng himself.

Cai’er’s feint just now almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood. Because the direction the Death God Scythe swung towards was exactly where he was about to launch his second attack. Having learned from the previous collision, he really didn’t dare to directly confront the Death God Scythe, fearing he would destroy his pair of epic short blades. Therefore, seeing Cai’er suddenly move the Death God Scythe, he almost instinctively froze, interrupting his pouncing motion.

It should be known that while the Twelve Domains of Space could greatly enhance his attack power, his body also had to endure double the pressure. Abruptly stopping an attack that was about to be launched immediately caused his body to suffer a backlash. As the most senior member of the Assassin Temple, Elder Xue Zhisheng was no longer young.

From the start of the exchange until now, Cai’er had only actively attacked once, but the entire process had brought multiple shocks to Xue Zhisheng like a stormy sea.

Leaving aside the sheer power of Cai’er’s previous attack and the dominance of the Death God Scythe, the fact that Cai’er could accurately determine his position was something this elder couldn’t understand.

Perhaps Xue Zhisheng wasn’t the strongest in the Alliance, but he was definitely the strongest spatial attribute cultivator in the Alliance. He believed that his attainments in spatial attributes were unmatched by few. He couldn’t figure out how Cai’er was able to predict his position. In his opinion, it was completely impossible. Precisely because of this, he was at a disadvantage from the start.

At the same time, after his first attack through the Twelve Domains of Space, he had already discovered the terrifying aspect of Cai’er’s domain.

That seemingly peaceful domain, like lotus petals, had a place that made even someone of his cultivation level feel horrified. His attack speed earlier was so fast, yet it still passed through Cai’er’s domain. This passage was critical. Xue Zhisheng felt that his own spiritual power had instantly disappeared by one percent.

For some weaker powerhouses, one percent might not be much, but for someone like him, whose inner spiritual power was close to 300,000, one percent was 3,000 spiritual power gone! And that was just for a moment. If he fought Cai’er in this domain, wouldn’t his own spiritual power be purified to exhaustion over time? Moreover, the purified spiritual power was likely being fed back to Cai’er. What a terrifying Purification Domain.

It was because of these discoveries that Xue Zhisheng chose to temporarily lie dormant. If his attacks couldn’t hit Cai’er and he would be purified by her domain, how could he fight? And her attack power was so formidable.

Another reason why Xue Zhisheng was hesitant was that he couldn’t really harm Cai’er. After all, Cai’er was the future hope of the Assassin Temple. Even if he had a strong desire for power, he was still a member of the Assassin Temple! Therefore, he couldn’t use some deadly techniques on Cai’er in this competition.

Sensing Xue Zhisheng’s silence, Cai’er took action. A faint smile appeared on her delicate face, and she gently waved the Death God Scythe in front of her. Immediately, several petals of the Purification Domain were swept up by the blade of the Death God Scythe. Cai’er guided them with her right hand, and the light blade instantly turned into a stream of light, shooting towards one of the Twelve Domains of Space gates.

As soon as she launched her attack, the Twelve Domains of Space gates immediately twisted violently, and powerful spatial spiritual power turned into a distorted barrier.

As a domain specializing in individual combat, the Twelve Domains of Space combined attack, defense, and amplification in one, giving it a superior position over most domains.

Unfortunately, this time Xue Zhisheng encountered Cai’er. Cai’er’s Purification Domain was obtained through the purification of the Death Spirit Holy Magic God, the Eternal Sleep Heavenly Calamity, Iliax, and after the Death God Scythe evolved, she continuously purified the aura of death and comprehended it. In terms of level, her Purification Domain was truly a power belonging to the God of Death. How could its position in the domain be compared to the Twelve Domains of Space?

The white light blade turned into nothingness in the twisted silver light. The Twelve Domains of Space wasn’t broken, but Xue Zhisheng was shocked to discover that his spiritual power had instantly decreased by another one percent. Moreover, in the state of maintaining the domain, no one’s spiritual power could be restored by absorbing elements from the space, unless the domain itself had absorption characteristics. The Twelve Domains of Space clearly didn’t have this ability.

Cai’er gently took a step forward, and immediately, the Purification Domain around her also moved forward with her. The Twelve Domains of Space immediately surrounded her, moving forward and backward together. Clearly, Xue Zhisheng was unwilling to let his domain be directly touched by the Purification Domain.

In just a short while, the only winning strategy that Xue Zhisheng could think of was attrition.

Casting a domain consumed a lot of spiritual power. Based on his experience, Cai’er was still inferior to him in terms of cultivation. The Purification Domain was stronger than his Twelve Domains of Space, but the consumption of spiritual power must also be greater. As long as they continued to fight through attrition, Cai’er’s domain would be the first to be dispelled, and then he could win without fighting. As for Cai’er wanting to use her domain to collide with his domain? Xue Zhisheng had absolute confidence in his speed and prediction.

As for Cai’er’s attacks, he could only block them head-on. Xue Zhisheng was absolutely confident that Cai’er’s consumption would increase when launching domain attacks. Although his consumption was also high, his advantage in cultivation would be revealed.

Cai’er naturally saw through Xue Zhisheng’s tactics, and the Assassin Temple powerhouses watching in the air also saw it. Being able to force the Chief Elder to this point, Cai’er had been completely recognized in their hearts. Undoubtedly, from the perspective of cultivation, Cai’er would definitely not be weaker than Sheng Yue, and she was so young. With her leading the Assassin Temple, it would definitely be vibrant.

But was Cai’er’s strength limited to this? No, of course not. Everything just now was just the beginning of her performance.

The Death God Scythe slowly rose, Cai’er’s eyes gradually turned white, and the surrounding Purification Domain suddenly surged violently, surrounding her body and completely covering her, making it impossible to see her appearance from any angle.

If the previous Purification Domain was like a huge white lotus, then the current Purification Domain was like a lotus bud that had closed, and Cai’er was its pistil.

What was she going to do? Including Xue Zhisheng, everyone felt a strong question in their hearts. The next moment, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly appeared in Xue Zhisheng’s heart, and he launched his Twelve Domains of Space almost without hesitation.

The dazzling silver light twisted violently, and the twelve light gates suddenly changed direction, combining into one. The twelve light gates were completely superimposed on each other. It could be seen that the area around this superimposed light gate was full of black, twisted light. It was a sign of breaking through spatial boundaries.

Those familiar with Xue Zhisheng knew that the Chief Elder was the most powerful in this state. By overlapping the Twelve Domains of Space, he could even perform long-distance teleportation of thousands of kilometers, and he could also increase his attack to an extremely terrifying level.

The sense of crisis made Xue Zhisheng dare not hold back any longer. The white light of purification in front of him suddenly faded, and Cai’er reappeared in everyone’s sight.

The Purification Domain had disappeared. However, in Cai’er’s left palm, there was an exquisitely small white lotus.

Cai’er smiled slightly and said, “Elder Xue, this is my domain skill, Grand Bloom Lotus. Would you like to try it? However, my research on it is not deep enough, so I can release it but not take it back.”

“No need, I concede.” Xue Zhisheng’s somewhat dim voice sounded. The silver light converged, and he took a step and walked out of the Twelve Domains of Space. His gaze at Cai’er was full of complexity.

The Death God Scythe in Cai’er’s right hand pulsed slightly in her palm. Strands of white thread separated from the tip of the blade and disappeared into the lotus in her left hand. Layers of pure white petals were peeled off and quietly dissipated into the air. The entire process lasted for nearly half an hour.

Xue Zhisheng stood opposite Cai’er and silently watched, as did the other high-level members of the Assassin Temple. Although the process was very long, the Death God Scythe pulsing in Cai’er’s hand was full of artistry. It was precisely because of the length of the process that they could feel the terror of the Grand Bloom Lotus even more.

The domain of a ninth-order powerhouse also had levels. After reaching the second level of the ninth order, it was possible to have one’s own domain. Ninth-order powerhouses with domains could almost be said to be at another level of existence.

Everyone’s domain was unique, and the level of the domain determined future potential. The stronger the domain, the higher the probability of continuing to improve one’s cultivation. At the same time, the greater the possibility of the domain itself evolving.

The reason why Li Zhengzhi was able to persuade Xue Zhisheng was because he had already comprehended the existence of domain skills through his own domain. And just now, Cai’er had actually displayed a domain skill belonging to her.

Domain skills could be said to be the product of domain evolution. Among all domains, almost only one percent could evolve into domain skills.
