"Huh?"

Gabriel could barely react as Yuelan began abruptly sawing at his head as though he was some log.

Even so, he managed to just barely escape from her grasp, and as he stood atop his own throne, he glanced down at the trio with a disgusted look.

"This sign of disrespect... Are you willing to continue, or shall we talk this through?"

Xuan and Yuelan exchanged a glance.

"That depends. Have you already called the Three Eyed Angel?" Xuan asked.

And of course, the answer was obvious, as Gabriel didn’t do anything of the sort.

So instead of replying to them, Gabriel went with the simpler option.

He focused on the Qi inside his Dantian and extracted a tiny, barely noticeable strand into the outside world. Yet that tiny strand soon unraveled into a golden glow that covered the entire temple and blinded Xuan and the rest of his group.

Once their vision returned, Xuan found himself standing in a whole different realm. Only after a moment did he realize that this realm was Gabriel’s domain.

The sky was snow white, and the horizon seemed endless. The floor was made out of solid white clouds, and lastly... there was a giant golden gate in front of him.

It was as if it was the gate to heaven.

Yet atop that gate, Gabriel sat. A halo had appeared over his head, and his previously golden hair had turned as white as the sky.

And of course...

<You have entered a Domain: The Angel’s Paradise>

↳ You no longer have any Angelic Qi, Holy Qi resistance.

↳ Every 30 seconds, the gravity weighing down on you doubles.

↳ You may not lie in this domain.

↳ All Techniques (Skills) deal 35% less damage. The caster’s Techniques (Skills) deal 50% more damage.

<Special: The Domain Caster’s Qi Purity is increased by x3>

Gabriel’s Domain was very strong, by far the strongest Xuan had ever seen.

It was also different from the one Head Monk Foyan used. This one didn’t summon any creatures, nor did it corrode his mind.

Instead, it was a pure debuff-type Domain. And of course, for the passive bonus, Gabriel’s Qi Purity was increased by three times, which essentially made his Qi attacks three times as strong, maybe even more if the Qi Purity was able to go above 100%.

But even then, with Gabriel having cast his Domain, Xuan decided to not leave him hanging. He reached into the depths of his Dantian and pulled out a Void Qi thread. In the next instant, Xuan’s own Domain manifested.

The sky was blanketed in an endless cosmos, and the clouds were soon flooded. Though, despite the water appearing deep, it was actually shallow.

However, the most important part of all was that Xuan’s Domain merged with Gabriel’s.

The cosmos was visible, but it wasn’t dark. Instead, the white sky still overwhelmed everything. The heaven gate remained as well.

Yet despite that, for the first time ever, Xuan saw the effects of his own Domain, and honestly... he was shocked.

<You have cast a Domain: The Infinite Void>

↳ Your Qi Types have x2 increased efficiency.

↳ You may teleport to any location in your Domain.

↳ Time perception inside the Domain is decreased by 50%

↳ Every being who dies inside the Domain is resurrected as a Death Minion, retaining 10% of the original cultivator’s power. The Death Minion lasts for 5 minutes, or until the Domain is disabled.

↳ Every wound is passively corroded with the most potent poison the Domain Caster has endured. Enhanced by Demonic Qi. (Stolen)

↳ All Techniques (Skills) deal 35% less damage. The caster’s Techniques (Skills) deal 50% more damage. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

<Special: The Domain’s size automatically adjusts to others’ Domains.>

<Ultimate: Remove 1 Negative Effect and steal 1 basic Effect from an enemy’s Domain. Lasts until your Domain is disabled.>

This was... it was the best one he had seen yet.

Not only that, this was without any outer influence.

Yuelan had offered some Domains to him, but he refused. After all, he wanted something that could be his own. Piggybacking off his sister for so long was just not his way of doing things, after all.

Oh, and the negative effect that was removed was also not bad at all.

<1 Negative Effect Removed: Every 30 seconds, the gravity weighing down on you doubles.>

This is actually an insane Domain. It’s just a pity that the effect I had stolen from him, he still has. We’re basically canceling each other out now.

Anyhow...

"You can use a Domain at the Spirit Master Realm?" Gabriel muttered in awe.

Then, he jumped down from the gates of heaven, landing only a few meters away from them. His wings seemed a little bigger than Xuan saw earlier.

But it also didn’t really matter much as they only exchanged a glance, and then finally engaged against each other.

Xuan’s figure flickered as he suddenly teleported right behind Gabriel. A Void Fist flew in, but before it could make contact, Gabriel redirected it with a beam of light. Another punch soon came, then another.

Before long, a volley of punches and kicks ensued, resounding through the heavenly Domain as though powerful thunder began to descend. Neither of them gave in, and despite them fighting for several minutes straight, none of them managed to land a solid hit on one another.

At most, Xuan uppercut Gabriel and broke his jaw. But since he healed right away, it was just a plain hit.

Not to mention, Xuan had started to get overwhelmed a few minutes ago. After all, even though he was strong, and had a lot of buffs to back up the difference in power, a Spirit Lord was still a Spirit Lord.

And if that wasn’t enough, Gabriel suddenly backed off. He reappeared atop his heavenly gate, and then glanced down at Xuan and the others.

In the next instant, Xuan heard the sound of a distant horn, followed by a fierce amount of Qi washing over him. It was so powerful that, for a moment, he had forgotten to breathe.

Yet that was when Yuelan stepped in, a faint smile on her face.

"You don’t mind if I help you, do you?"
