Chapter 450: Chapter 180: Ninth Grade Divinity Transformation Domain “Hundred Phoenixes Returning to the Nest”._3
 

“There will be no fluctuation of spiritual energy during an attack, making it extremely difficult to detect,”

“The arena is the least suitable place for Cloud Hiding Dragon.”

“The most suitable Divine Domain for Cloud Hiding Dragon is the ‘Absolute Darkness’, somewhat similar to the major event in Quzhou last time, ‘The Long Night Approaches’. In this domain, it is absolutely pitch black, without a trace of light, and Divine Sense cannot probe out.”

“In such an environment, Cloud Hiding Dragon can fully exhibit its assassination traits.”

“However, Black Dragon might have some issues in his head; he dislikes assassinations, saying that he can’t enjoy the cheers of the people that way. Let’s not talk about him now, it’s infuriating.”

“Besides that—”

“There are many other types of bloodlines.”

Ao Tian continued with his detailed introduction, “For instance, there’s the ‘Hundredfold Gravity’ Divine Domain suitable for Body Cultivation, ‘Night Parade of Hundred Demons’ Divine Domain for Evil Cultivation, ‘Miniature Buddhist Kingdom’ Divine Domain for Buddhist Disciples, and ‘Instant Formation’ Divine Domain for Array Repairers.”

“There’s also the ‘Swordmaster’s Call’ Divine Domain suitable for Sword Cultivators, and so on.”

“These Divine Domains are quite specific, targeting a type of cultivator, but there are also those that are more generic.”

“For example, ‘Mutual Injury’, within this domain, no one can heal their injuries by any means. It’s not specifically targeted at any type of cultivator, it’s non-specific.”

“Anyway, there are many Divine Domains.”

“There is no distinction between strong and weak among the types of Divine Domains, it’s more about whether it suits you and matches your cultivation methods and combat tactics,”

“Hmm.”

Chen Qiu nodded thoughtfully, “So what about the grades of Divine Domains from First Grade to Twelfth Grade?”

“Indeed, there is no strong or weak among the types of Divine Domains, there’s no basis for saying that ‘Swordmaster’s Call’ is definitely stronger than ‘Night Parade of Hundred Demons’.”

“But a Fourth-grade ‘Swordmaster’s Call’ Divine Domain is certainly stronger than a Third-grade ‘Night Parade of Hundred Demons’ Divine Domain.”

“The difference in grade determines the strength.”

“They are classified from First Grade to Twelfth Grade, but grades above Ninth often require some very stringent conditions. For example, for a Tenth-grade Divine Domain, you would also need a Tenth-grade Golden Core and a Tenth-grade Nascent Soul, which is why usually a Ninth-grade Divine Domain is the strongest.”

“Grades above Tenth are theoretically achievable but haven’t been seen in reality.”

“For instance, my ‘Hundred Phoenix Nest’ Divine Domain is Ninth-grade.”

Speaking of his own Divine Domain, Ao Tian said with some pride, “After all, the Dragon Clan has a profound heritage despite interrupted succession over the years. My Ninth-grade ‘Hundred Phoenix Nest’ is also one of the strongest Divine Domains on the Xuantian Continent and is the biggest reason why I can fight three opponents at once.”

“The higher the grade of the Divine Domain, the larger the area it covers, and it can suppress Domains of lower grades.”

“Generally speaking, with a three-grade difference, there is an absolute suppression effect.”

“To be specific, let’s say I have a Ninth-grade Divine Domain, and a Divinity Transformation Peak Cultivation Human Clan Cultivator with a Sixth-grade Divine Domain tries to confront me. If we both activate our Divine Domains at the same time upon meeting,”

“His Divine Domain would be instantly suppressed by mine with an absolute effect, pushed back.”

“A Divinity without its Divine Domain is just so-so.”

“Within my domain, I am invincible.”

“Without it, naturally, one cannot remain unbeaten.”

“Therefore, the grade of a Divine Domain is extremely important for a Divinity. It can even be said to be of the utmost importance. However, Divine Domains differ from Golden Cores; the grade of a Golden Core is basically set in stone from the moment of its creation.”

“The grade of Divine Domains can always increase. Some people may have a very low-grade domain when they first become a Divinity, but later if they find some opportunity, the grade of their Divine Domain may gradually increase.”

“A three-grade difference is an absolute suppression effect.”

“Within three grades, it’s a partial suppression effect.”

“It means that you can’t just shatter the opponent’s Domain, but you can decrease the area and weaken the effect of their Domain.”

“Which is exactly why,”

“You’ll often hear about Divinities returning from the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm severely injured. There’s no choice but to look for opportunities in the Secret Realm to improve the grade of their Divine Domain. Otherwise, when facing someone with a three-grade higher Domain, there’s hardly any chance of fighting back.”

“Unless your cultivation absolutely overwhelms the opponent.”

“Like a Divinity Transformation Peak cultivator battling a First-level Divinity. Even if their domain gets suppressed, they can still rely on their sheer strength and spiritual energy protection to burst into the opponent’s Domain and kill them on their home ground.”

“But as long as the cultivation levels are similar, or the cultivation doesn’t overwhelmingly dominate, then the grade of the Divine Domain essentially determines your combat power.”

…

“I understand,”

Chen Qiu nodded thoughtfully. Although he is the Sect Master of the Chao Tian Sect, he could actually be considered a Loose Cultivator and knew very little about Divine Domains. It now appeared he had been quite lucky.

Outside Great Yuan City, when ambushing the Guardian Elder of Three Springs Building, his opponent hadn’t had time to react.

Otherwise, once the Domain was activated,

It wouldn’t have been so simple for him to assassinate that Divinity.

But he hadn’t expected that the grade of the Divine Domain would also have requirements for the Nascent Soul and Golden Core—it’s not just about heavenly treasures. For the Tenth-grade Divine Domain that requires a “Tenth-grade Golden Core” and “Tenth-grade Nascent Soul,” wouldn’t a Twelfth-grade Divine Domain require a “Twelfth-grade Golden Core” and “Twelfth-grade Nascent Soul”?

He wasn’t sure about the conditions needed for other heavenly treasures.
