LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Crisis Unfolds, Awakening of the Innate Domain
Qian Renxue tightened her focus, rapidly gathering her remaining power. She knew Nan Feihuang couldn't hold on much longer. While his unique physique and three soul skills had temporarily elevated his combat ability to rival that of a Soul King, the strain was immense.
Even so, a Soul King was no match for a twenty-thousand-year Radiant Spirit Wolf.
Without his ingenious footwork and expert mastery of his halberd techniques, a conventional Soul King would have already fallen under such relentless attacks.
The Radiant Spirit Wolf's every strike aimed to kill, exploiting any opening in his defenses. Though Nan Feihuang narrowly evaded death multiple times, his body was gradually accumulating injuries, his movements growing more strained with each clash.
"This won't do. He won't last much longer. I can't wait any longer!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, no longer hesitating. Though her soul power hadn't reached its peak, she activated her fifth soul ring.
"Feihuang, fall back! Fifth Soul Skill: Holy Blade!"
From the radiance of her wings, a sword formed of pure holy fire materialized. It gleamed with divine might, enhancing her Angel Martial Soul's purifying properties by 300%. A single strike from this blade could severely cripple any soul master it touched, dissolving their soul power and dealing devastating physical damage.
But her current state allowed her to unleash only 50% of the Holy Blade's true potential. Whether this would be enough to kill the Radiant Spirit Wolf remained uncertain.
Hearing her command, Nan Feihuang immediately stepped back, fully trusting her judgment. Activating his Northern Dipper Phantom Steps, his movements became ethereal and unpredictable. In a flash, he retreated several meters, leaving the wolf unable to track his trajectory.
Despite its impressive speed, the Radiant Spirit Wolf chose not to pursue Nan Feihuang. Its intelligence dictated that he wasn't the real threat—his explosive bursts of power were unsustainable. Within minutes, his energy would be entirely depleted, and he'd be no more than an easy target.
Instead, the wolf focused its attention on Qian Renxue, its original prey. The creature had anticipated her counterattack and had been holding back, waiting for this very moment.
"Awooo!"
The wolf howled, releasing a sonic wave so powerful it materialized into a physical force, clashing directly with Qian Renxue's Holy Blade.
"Damn it! This beast was prepared for me all along." Qian Renxue's voice was icy, yet her expression remained composed. "But underestimating the power of the Angel Clan is a grave mistake."
Her golden sword blazed brighter, slicing through the wolf's sonic attack like a blade through paper. For a moment, her divine aura overpowered the wolf, forcing it to retreat slightly.
Despite the disadvantage, the wolf's predatory gaze remained calm and calculating. Its intelligence matched its ferocity, and it understood her current weakness: her lack of stamina.
Nan Feihuang's expression darkened as he realized the wolf's strategy. "Damn it, Snow Sister's walking into a trap!"
The beast wasn't trying to overpower her directly—it sought to exhaust her Holy Blade's energy, nullifying its power before striking. Though her blade shattered its sonic attack, the remnants of its strength barely scratched the beast's resilient body.
Indeed, the blade managed only to leave a faint red mark on the wolf's neck.
"It's over!" Qian Renxue's heart sank as her Holy Blade flickered and dimmed. She'd poured everything into that strike, leaving herself completely defenseless.
The Radiant Spirit Wolf, sensing its victory, lunged forward with a bloodthirsty gleam in its eyes, its fangs aiming for her throat.
"I can't defend myself!" Despair flashed in Qian Renxue's mind. Her soul power was entirely drained, and the only salvation she could think of was her Angel Domain, the innate domain of her divine martial soul. But activating it required at least a minimal reserve of energy—energy she didn't have.
"Don't you dare touch her!"
Nan Feihuang's furious roar echoed through the forest. At the same moment, an overwhelming aura erupted from his body.
"General's Domain!"
A sudden shockwave rippled outward, slamming into the Radiant Spirit Wolf and sending it flying through the air.
Qian Renxue stared in awe. "He awakened his innate domain… to save me!"
Her heart swelled with both relief and gratitude. She knew that awakening an innate domain required immense pressure and often happened during life-or-death moments. It was a testament to Nan Feihuang's incredible potential that he had done so now.
Domains were a rarity even among soul skills. Typically, they only manifested as the ninth skill of a Titled Douluo's martial soul, with a mere one-in-ten chance of appearing.
Other methods existed to gain domains, such as inheriting them from powerful soul bones—like Huo Yuhao's Ice Empress Domain—or receiving them through divine trials, like the Slaughter City's Deathgod Domain. However, these were merely acquired abilities.
In contrast, innate domains were a natural extension of one's martial soul, requiring no external catalyst. They weren't limited by soul rings, soul bones, or fusion techniques. Once awakened, they could be activated at will, amplifying the user's power while suppressing opponents within the domain.
This made them exceptionally rare and incredibly valuable. Among top-tier martial souls, only a select few possessed innate domains. Even famed martial souls like the Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda lacked such an ability.
Yet here Nan Feihuang stood, his innate domain fully awakened.
Qian Renxue's gaze softened. While she had always suspected his Fangtian Halberd martial soul was extraordinary, its true potential far exceeded her expectations. A weapon capable of awakening an innate domain was undoubtedly at the level of a divine martial soul.
"This child…" Qian Renxue's admiration deepened, though she kept her thoughts hidden.
Nan Feihuang stood firm, his domain's golden aura radiating strength and stability. Though his energy was heavily taxed, his resolve burned brighter than ever.
The Radiant Spirit Wolf, momentarily stunned by the domain's power, staggered to its feet. Its eyes flickered with uncertainty—it hadn't anticipated such resistance from its prey.
"Snow Sister," Nan Feihuang called out, his voice steady despite the strain. "I'll hold it off as long as I can. Gather your strength. This fight isn't over yet!"
