Chapter 73 - Chapter 73 - An Apocalyptic Domain

Apocalypse Domain!

One of Yu Xiaowei's trump cards.

Its greatest power lies in the destruction of powerful armor.

Like the carapace of the Earth King, Meng Li's protective light shield, and the protective barrier of Davis' White Tiger.

Especially the White Tiger's protective barrier, which only had a hundred years of soul power—it shattered upon contact.

Aside from armor destruction, it has another primary function: field control.

High-level soul masters naturally ignore dizziness and nausea caused by nuclear radiation, but soul masters of the same level as Yu Xiaowei would be nearly paralyzed upon contact.

And the weaker their strength, the longer the control duration.

Combined with Yu Xiaowei's offensive and defensive abilities that far surpass others at his level, it could be said that he is now a strange type of soul master who combines strong attack, defense, and control systems.

And the shortcut he had just thought of to integrate mental power and perception was to complete his domain.

That's right.

Yu Xiaowei's nuclear radiation field is extremely powerful. So powerful that once it's unleashed, defense-type soul masters immediately kneel and call him "father," while agility-type soul masters kneel and call him "grandfather."

However, he had long realized a problem: his domain was incomplete.

This was especially reflected in his limited control over the domain—restricted to its activation range, but lacking precision over what happened inside.

Gu Rong's earlier teachings had made Yu Xiaowei realize something:

Mental power understands the environment, and when the environment and the self are integrated—isn't that the concept of a complete domain?

In other words, the control-diversion method of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was actually a prototype of domain cultivation for battle-type soul masters?

You have to know that domains are something only the fortunate with innate domains can possess—not everyone has one. For example, Gu Rong had never cultivated a domain.

No wonder this diversion control technique was considered a clan secret.

Therefore, as long as Yu Xiaowei fused his mental power into the nuclear radiation field and turned the surrounding environment into his original field, he would become the absolute ruler of that field. This was the shortcut to mastering interference control—and the method to perfect the nuclear radiation domain. He acted the moment he thought of it.

Yu Xiaowei immediately released his nuclear radiation domain and controlled it within the bounds of the training hall.

Then he began to release his mental power and slowly integrated it into the domain.

However, to his disappointment, the moment his mental power and the nuclear radiation field came into contact and began to merge, the two completely dissolved.

Severe pain struck his mind. Yu Xiaowei screamed, crouching on the ground with his head in his arms, filled with overwhelming thoughts.

This made no sense.

How could his own domain devour his mental power?

Upon hearing the scream, Gu Rong—who was keeping watch outside—was startled and rushed in.

"Kid, what's going on?"

"Grandpa Gu, I'm fine. Something went wrong during my training."

Fortunately, only a small portion of his mental power was lost, and Yu Xiaowei quickly recovered.

Seeing him stand as if nothing had happened, Gu Rong still wasn't reassured and asked anxiously.

"What went wrong? Tell Grandpa immediately."

Gu Rong couldn't help but worry. It was normal for soul masters to encounter problems while training.

But some issues, which might seem harmless on the surface, could suddenly emerge later and lead to fatal consequences.

So, he couldn't let it go.

Yu Xiaowei didn't hide anything and explained the conflict between his domain and his mental power to Gu Rong.

"What!"

"You have a natural domain?"

"Quick, quick—show it to Grandpa!"

Gu Rong was ecstatic upon hearing that Yu Xiaowei possessed a natural domain.

You see, whether a soul master has a domain or not makes a world of difference. He had been overshadowed by Chen Xin for years—not only because his soul power was inferior, but also because Chen Xin had cultivated the Seven Kill Domain, while he had no domain at all.

"Alright."

Yu Xiaowei nodded and released his nuclear radiation domain.

As the invisible waves enveloped Gu Rong, his expression gradually shifted from excitement to odd confusion.

"This… is your domain?"

"Yes, I've had this innate domain since I awakened my martial soul."

Gu Rong took a deep breath and rubbed his bald head. Then, he grabbed Yu Xiaowei and smacked his butt with a fierce expression.

"Ah——"

Yu Xiaowei was stunned and screamed repeatedly.

"Grandpa Gu, what are you doing?"

"Ah——"

"Help! Grandpa Gu is killing someone!"

...

After the beating, Yu Xiaowei rubbed his butt with a bitter expression.

As for why he got beaten, he already knew.

It was because when he was training his domain at home, Gu Rong—who happened to be visiting—accidentally came into contact with the nuclear radiation.

There were no effects at the time, but in the following years, Gu Rong's already-sparse hair began to fall out, one by one, until this year, when it was completely gone.

Gu Rong, who cherished his hair as much as Dugu Bo, felt like crying every time he saw his bald head in the mirror.

Based on the timeline of his hair loss, he could only conclude that it was related to that strange force he had encountered—though he had never suspected Yu Xiaowei.

Today, he finally found the culprit.

Seeing Yu Xiaowei rubbing his butt, Gu Rong said grumpily:

"Stop rubbing. Grandpa knows your problem now."

Yu Xiaowei's eyes lit up, and he forgot about the pain, asking eagerly:

"Grandpa Gu, what's the problem?"

"Your Martial Soul. Have you noticed that it has a destructive aura? It matches perfectly with your innate domain. I think the reason your mental power was destroyed earlier was because you didn't release your Martial Soul—your mental power lacked that destructive aura. That's why your domain attacked you. Now try releasing your mental power while your Martial Soul is activated, and then merge it with your innate domain."

Gu Rong's words were like a revelation, instantly enlightening Yu Xiaowei. Without hesitation, he began releasing his domain again.

Feeling the nuclear radiation surrounding him, Gu Rong hesitated for a moment. But thinking he wouldn't lose more hair, he stood inside fearlessly.

After a strange beastly roar, Yu Xiaowei, in half-dragon form, released his mental power and attempted to merge it again with the nuclear radiation domain.

This time, the domain did not reject the fusion of his mental power.

Moments later, in Gu Rong's eyes, a blinding light flashed across Yu Xiaowei's body, and then a powerful aura of death erupted, rapidly filling the entire training hall.

The ground cracked with a rumble, and countless pillars of flame shot into the sky.

For a moment, the earth was torn, black smoke billowed, and under the gloomy atmosphere, the entire training hall turned into a hellish purgatory.

The apocalyptic scene before him made even the Super Douluo Gu Rong feel suppressed. After a moment of shock, he muttered to himself:

"What kind of field is this...?"

At that moment, Yu Xiaowei, in the middle of training, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long howl.

The power of the domain surged again, and with a loud rumble—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's training hall collapsed.
