134: Chapter 134 The Primordial Chaos Space Domain, Connecting Xue Muyan
Snow Dragon Douluo's Spirit, the Snow Dragon, is also a true Dragon-type Spirit, completely on par with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit.
This is also an important reason why the Snow Dragon Sect is so powerful!
With her Spirit possessed, Xue Muyan's body had basically undergone dragonification, appearing somewhat impregnable.
Su Ling did not dare to be arrogant; after all, his opponent had Rank 96 Soul Power. He immediately released his Spirit and utilized all the Support skills from the various goddesses.
With a movement of his body, Su Ling used Teleportation to appear a hundred meters away.
Xue Muyan already knew about his Teleportation ability, so Su Ling used it right from the start.
However, during the Teleportation, Xue Muyan waved one hand, sending snow flying everywhere, instantly blocking his vision. By the time Su Ling was ready to draw his bow and nock an arrow, Xue Muyan had vanished completely.
From above, Su Ling waved a hand and immediately unleashed the Spirit Ability: Ice Shield!
A loud boom rang out as Xue Muyan's ice-blue Dragon claw struck Su Ling's Ice Shield. With a bang, the Ice Shield shattered instantly.
But Su Ling, down below, had already moved to another location.
Xue Muyan's movements were much faster than Su Ling had anticipated; compared to the Ice Flame Douluo, it seemed they were not even on the same level.
This time, Su Ling used Teleportation to travel two hundred meters and condensed an Explosive Flame Arrow.
Swish... The fire-attribute arrow shot out!
Xue Muyan's Dragon claw grew massive, and she swiped directly at Su Ling's arrow.
With a boom, the Explosive Flame Arrow collided with it, causing a violent explosion.
"Su Ling, I told you, bring out your real skills." Xue Muyan said again.
Well, he had been looked down upon.
"Alright!" Su Ling responded.
Subsequently, he released his Primary Hunyuan Domain!
"A Domain?" Xue Muyan looked at Su Ling with a face full of surprise. Even she, until now, did not possess a Domain-type ability.
Inside the Domain, Xue Muyan felt her body being suppressed in various ways!
"What kind of Domain is this? It can actually lower my Perception?" Xue Muyan felt the changes in her body and thought even more highly of Su Ling.
[Ding... Xue Muyan favorability + 2, obtained white treasure chest * 1]
Su Ling's Primary Hunyuan Domain increased his own Soul Power by 20%, and his attack and speed by 20%. Inside the Domain, apart from Su Ling, everyone's Spirit Ability effectiveness was reduced by 20%, and their Perception was reduced by 20%.
Whoosh... "It's coming!" Xue Muyan immediately went on the defensive, but her reduced Perception delayed her reaction speed.
Xue Muyan could only block this arrow with her dragonified arm, which also made her feel a hint of pain.
However, the next moment, ten arrows came simultaneously.
This time, Xue Muyan reacted slightly faster than before, releasing her Spirit Ability: Snow Dragon Shield to block in front of her.
The ten arrows struck it simultaneously, and her Snow Dragon Shield shattered on the spot.
The effectiveness of the Spirit Ability was reduced by 20%, while Su Ling's attack power was increased by 20%; naturally, his attack was more destructive.
The reduction in Spirit Ability effectiveness was something Xue Muyan could also feel.
"This won't do. While I'm in here, the power of Su Ling's arrows has increased significantly. I must prepare in advance."
After thinking for a moment, the Snow Dragon Douluo activated a Spirit Ability. This time, five spirit rings lit up, and all aspects of her body were enhanced by 150%.
However, under Su Ling's Domain, it was reduced by another 20%.
Just after she used the Spirit Ability to enhance herself, another of Su Ling's arrows arrived!
This was a rotating arrow with extremely strong piercing power.
"It's here?" The Snow Dragon Douluo was already prepared to meet this arrow. Frost condensed on her hands, and in front of her, it seemed to be forming an ice wall.
But how could this arrow of Su Ling's be an ordinary one?
"Accelerate!" Su Ling said in a low voice.
Instantly, the arrow accelerated by 40%.
"How is that possible?" The arrow instantly destroyed the Snow Dragon Douluo's ice wall, but fortunately, she dodged in time, and the arrow did not hit her.
Su Ling's methods were endless, and Xue Muyan's interest in Su Ling was growing stronger and stronger.
"You still haven't used your real skills." As soon as Xue Muyan finished speaking, she immediately charged toward Su Ling, who was not far away.
"Want to engage in melee combat? Then come and try to see if you can reach my side."
In an instant, six pairs of wings, twelve wings in total, were released behind Su Ling.
Under the enhancement of the Primary Hunyuan Domain, Su Ling's speed was as fast as lightning. To her surprise, Xue Muyan discovered that she couldn't seem to catch up at all.
Su Ling's speed was not Teleportation, but it was just too fast.
Teleportation had a distance limit, and there was a node after the Teleportation. If one found this pause node, it could actually be broken.
However, Su Ling's movement was fluid at this moment, and there were simply no flaws to be found.
Although she was at Rank 96 Soul Power and her speed was not bad compared to Spirit Masters of the same level, how could she fight with Su Ling's speed?
She couldn't even reach him!
Moreover, she was also being restricted under Su Ling's Domain.
"This won't do. I have to rush out of his Domain."
Xue Muyan no longer chased Su Ling but instead moved toward the outside of Su Ling's Domain.
"I'm about to get out." In the blink of an eye, she had reached the edge of Su Ling's Domain.
However, at the edge of this Domain, Xue Muyan suddenly felt something was wrong.
The Domain had actually started to change, and the suppression on her seemed to have become even greater.
Moreover, the range of the Domain seemed to have expanded significantly.
"What is this?"
Xue Muyan discovered that she seemed to be in some kind of space.
In fact, this was the benefit Su Ling had gained from the golden treasure chest, which had allowed his Primary Hunyuan Domain to evolve once.
It had now become an Intermediate Hunyuan Spatial Domain!
Su Ling could freely switch between the Elementary and Intermediate forms. After all, compared to the Elementary form, the Intermediate form consumed more Soul Power.
However, compared to the effects gained, this consumption was very worthwhile.
The word "Spatial" alone explained everything; it added a spatial attribute to the original foundation, allowing Su Ling's Domain to form its own space.
And the previous Domain effects had also been improved to a certain extent.
Compared to those improvements, the spatial attribute was the strongest.
Xue Muyan arrived at the edge of the Domain again and punched it. When she struck, it felt soft, and a portion of the force was even rebounded back.
"I've been locked inside a space? Is there such a Domain?" Xue Muyan said in a low voice.
"Sister Muyan, how is it? Is my Domain okay? Does it count as a real skill?" Su Ling flashed into the sky not far from Xue Muyan and looked down at her.
With the twelve wings behind him, Su Ling looked like a god within the Domain space.
[Ding... Xue Muyan favorability + 2, obtained yellow treasure chest * 2]
Xue Muyan said: "Then I will break your Domain space."
As soon as she finished speaking, spirit rings circled around Xue Muyan, and eight spirit rings on her body lit up. She used her eighth Spirit Ability to strike the inside of Su Ling's Domain space with full force.
This attack was indeed not weak, and Su Ling's Domain space shook. At the edge of the Domain space, cracks had appeared where Xue Muyan had attacked.
Su Ling mobilized his Soul Power, and the cracks healed visibly to the naked eye.
In that instant, Su Ling discovered that blocking Xue Muyan's attack had consumed over 10% of his Soul Power in one go.
A few more attacks, and even if it didn't break his Domain space, it could exhaust his Soul Power completely.
Xue Muyan saw that this Move was effective, but it had not yet reached the point of destroying it.
Therefore, this time, Xue Muyan first lit up seven spirit rings, released her Martial Soul Avatar, and Xue Muyan's body completely transformed into a Snow Dragon over thirty meters long.
Using her eighth Spirit Ability again, Xue Muyan attacked Su Ling's Domain space.
But just as she was about to hit the Domain space, Su Ling moved his mind, the Domain disappeared, and Xue Muyan's attack missed.
Her whole body flew forward for dozens of meters.
This was equivalent to making Xue Muyan waste her ultimate Move.
In such a state, with Xue Muyan's Rank 96 Soul Power plus her eighth Spirit Ability, even if she couldn't break the Domain space, Su Ling would consume a lot of Soul Power to block this strike.
It was better to let the Domain dissipate and waste the opponent's Soul Power.
Just at the moment Xue Muyan flew out, Su Ling activated a skill to recover Soul Power, and the Soul Power that had been consumed by nearly 50% was instantly restored to around 90%.
Actually, it wasn't that Su Ling's skills were poor, but that the skills were too strong and consumed too much Soul Power, and his Soul Power Rank was too low to sustain the long-term release of some skills.
Simply put, the skills were strong, the mana consumption was fast, and his own Rank was too low to Support it!
Sometimes, simply not using Spirit Abilities and using Soul Power to condense arrows was actually more Soul Power-efficient, and the attack power was not weak either.
If he were to wait until he also reached the Titled Douluo level to use this Domain space, even if he let Xue Muyan attack, she probably wouldn't be able to break it.
With a loud boom, missing her attack made Xue Muyan very angry.
"Su Ling, let's go again!"
When Xue Muyan turned to look at Su Ling, she saw that Su Ling had already released his seventh Spirit Ability, and his Martial Soul Avatar was also released.
A giant arrow had already condensed in his hand.
The arrow rotated, and Su Ling shot it out.
This arrow was no small matter. Xue Muyan did not use a Spirit Ability but instead waved her dragon arm and used a Spirit Bone skill.
Moreover, the age of this Spirit Bone skill was not low, at least over fifty thousand years.
After one strike, neither side could do anything to the other.
"Su Ling, whatever other Moves you have, use them all." Xue Muyan said.
"Then Sister Muyan, be careful. You had better use your strongest Move as well." Su Ling said.
"Alright!"
Nine spirit rings lit up on Xue Muyan's body, while Su Ling, after his Martial Soul Avatar appeared, grew three more pairs of wings.
Eighteen wings were released in total.
This was the first time Su Ling had released it in battle, the most authentic state of the complete million-year Spirit Bone.
On Xue Muyan's side, her Snow Dragon body kept changing, and the nine spirit rings on her body lit up.
Jade Dragon carries snow, rushing to the heavens; one roar, wind and clouds break the Nine Heavens.
Su Ling seemed to hear a sentence in his ears again, as if it were the prelude to releasing a Spirit Ability.
And Su Ling's was simple, without any flowery language.
It was just the million-year Spirit Bone skill, Wind and Thunder Void-Shattering Slash!
In an instant, it drained most of Su Ling's Soul Power; this was also Su Ling's current strongest skill!
The eighteen wings seemed to condense together, forming a massive blade wing at least thirty meters long that confronted Xue Muyan's ninth Spirit Ability directly.
When Su Ling launched this attack, it was like splitting bamboo; it shattered Xue Muyan's ninth Spirit Ability almost instantly.
A million-year Spirit Bone skill was much more powerful than a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ability.
Moreover, Xue Muyan's ninth Spirit Ability was not even a hundred-thousand-year-old one!
It was just that her Soul Power was much higher than Su Ling's, but the uniqueness of Su Ling's Soul Power compensated for his lack of Soul Power to a certain extent.
Xue Muyan's attack transformed into a giant ice dragon and charged over. When the two Spirit Abilities made contact, the ice dragon was instantly split down the middle by Su Ling's Wind and Thunder Void-Shattering Slash.
It went all the way to the front of Xue Muyan's Martial Soul Avatar.
"It's over!"
In that instant, Xue Muyan felt the threat of death.
She could only try her best to dodge!
But the Martial Soul Avatar was simply too large, and the range of Su Ling's attack was not small either. Xue Muyan simply could not dodge it and could only block with all her might to minimize the damage.
With a boom, the attack landed on her.
Subsequently, Xue Muyan's Martial Soul Avatar plummeted downwards. As she fell, her body reverted to its normal state.
After landing, Xue Muyan lay prone on the ground, the clothes on her back already stained with blood. It was a wound at least thirty centimeters long, its depth unknown.
"Sister Muyan, are you alright!" Su Ling immediately ran over.
"I'm fine, I'm alright!" Xue Muyan forced herself to stand up.
"Su Ling, that strike of yours was very powerful. It was a Spirit Bone skill, right? Could this Spirit Bone of yours be a hundred-thousand-year one?" Xue Muyan asked.
Su Ling said: "Actually, it has already exceeded one hundred thousand years!"
"No wonder it has such power; my defeat is not unjust! For a mere Spirit Saint to be able to defeat me, a Rank 96 Titled Douluo, you are truly the number one Spirit Master of the Extreme North."
[Ding... Xue Muyan favorability +20, obtained white treasure chest *7, yellow treasure chest *3, purple treasure chest *1]
As she said this, a look of melancholy appeared on Xue Muyan's face.
"The future should belong to you young people."
"Ah..."
Feeling the pain in her back, she had wanted to hold on until the end in front of Su Ling, but the pain still made her cry out involuntarily.
"What are you still standing there for? Help me apply medicine and stop the bleeding." Xue Muyan said this, then sat down directly and exposed her back to Su Ling.
This Xue Muyan was quite direct, actually taking off her outer garment herself.
But could Su Ling say at this moment that he had a healing Spirit Ability?
"Sister Muyan, please wait a moment!"
After speaking, Su Ling released his healing Spirit Ability; healing general external injuries was quite easy.
Under Su Ling's healing Spirit Ability, the wound on Xue Muyan's back recovered rapidly.
"You..." Feeling the changes on her back and the pain slowly disappearing, she also enjoyed the process of this healing.
However, Xue Muyan's injuries were somewhat severe, so Su Ling used the healing Spirit Ability on her three times. After three times, Xue Muyan's wound finally recovered completely.
But this did not mean that Xue Muyan was completely better; her injuries would likely need some more time to heal.
"Su Ling, how do you also have a healing Spirit Ability? Do you have another Spirit?"
After turning around, Xue Muyan looked at Su Ling with curiosity.
"I only have one Spirit right now! As for this healing Spirit Ability, it's just a special skill of mine, though the effect isn't very good." Su Ling replied.
"It's already quite good; it's very useful for daily minor injuries." Xue Muyan said.
"Sister Muyan, are you still able to walk?" Su Ling asked.
After all, the two of them were still a long distance from Fengxue City. Xue Muyan tried to walk two steps, but still found her back to be somewhat painful.
"Sister Muyan, let me carry you." Su Ling stood in front of Xue Muyan.
Under the moonlight, looking at Su Ling's sturdy back, Xue Muyan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed for a moment. The man in front of her was powerful, capable of defeating her, and possessed exceptional talent.
He was also caring, and actually willing to take the initiative to carry her back!
[Ding... Xue Muyan favorability +5, obtained white treasure chest +3, yellow treasure chest +1]
This action of Su Ling's was naturally to try and farm favorability. For a goddess like Xue Muyan, Su Ling had long since thought of strategies to woo her.
One must be powerful during competitions, while in daily life, one must be caring and gentle when necessary, achieving a balance of restraint and release.
See, didn't the favorability just come?
Now Xue Muyan's favorability had reached fifty-five points; reaching sixty to bind her would be just a matter of time.
"Alright!" Xue Muyan lay on Su Ling's back, pressing tightly against him.
Feeling those two soft spots on his back, the sensation alone was enough to make one's imagination run wild.
"Su Ling, you don't need to call me sister; just call me Muyan from now on." Xue Muyan's face flushed slightly after saying this.
How many years had it been? Her long-sealed heart had actually begun to stir.
And Su Ling, pressed against her chest, could clearly feel Xue Muyan's heartbeat accelerating.
"Alright, then I will call you Muyan from now on!" Su Ling responded.
"Mm!"
[Ding... Xue Muyan +16, obtained white treasure chest *4, yellow treasure chest *5, purple treasure chest *2]
[Ding... Xue Muyan favorability is greater than or equal to 60, bind goddess?]
"Bind!" Su Ling thought to himself.
[Ding... Goddess Xue Muyan successfully bound!]
[Bound Goddess: Xue Muyan]
[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]
[Favorability: 71 (Somewhat likes)]
[Binding Effect: The host can obtain 20% of the bound goddess's daily Cultivate effect, without reducing the bound goddess's cultivation speed.]
[Binding Skill 1: Listen to Advice (Can be activated once per day, the bound goddess has a fifty percent chance of following the host's advice)]
[Binding Skill 2: Dragon Might (Active skill, after releasing, allows the host to release a Dragon Might comparable to a ten-thousand-year True Dragon Spirit Beast.)]
Is this what it feels like to be moved in an instant?
The favorability directly broke through to over seventy.
The rumor Bing Yuluo mentioned was correct; what this Xue Muyan wanted was someone who could forcefully defeat her, and he met this condition in every aspect.
Just like that, carrying Xue Muyan, he walked for several hundred meters when Xue Muyan suddenly spoke: "Su Ling, you are Rank 74 Soul Power, how old are you now? You shouldn't be over forty, right."
"Mm!" Su Ling responded.
"Sigh... As expected, you are very young. If I hadn't accidentally obtained a certain herb back then, I wouldn't have been able to maintain this youthful state, but in reality, I am already..."
When it came to age, Xue Muyan paused again. She was already ninety years old this year. At this age, she was at least fifty years older than Su Ling. Was there still a possibility for them?
Thinking of this, Xue Muyan felt a bit disappointed again.
"Su Ling, then how old are you exactly?" Xue Muyan asked again, wanting to see just how much of a Genius Su Ling was.
Su Ling also answered truthfully: "Twenty-two years old, turning twenty-three soon."
"Oh, twenty-two!"
"What? You are only twenty-two? And you are already a Spirit Saint!" Xue Muyan said with a look of surprise.
"How do you Cultivate? Even eating ten-thousand-year Snow Lotus every day wouldn't make it possible to reach this Rank at twenty-two."
Su Ling said: "Just by Cultivating, my Soul Power slowly increased. Of course, I also relied on some Heaven And Earth Treasure."
"Even relying on Heaven And Earth Treasure, you still..."
At this moment, Xue Muyan's palpitating heart calmed down again.
She thought to herself: 'Xue Muyan, have you gone mad? Su Ling is only twenty-two, the age of your grandson, and you actually want to be with him... Really, truly shameless.'
"Muyan, I heard you went to the continent to gain experience?" Su Ling continued to ask.
And hearing Su Ling call her Muyan again, she really wanted to say, why not call me Grandma Muyan?
But the words couldn't come out when they reached her lips. She truly admired and even somewhat liked the child before her.
Mm, now Xue Muyan looked at Su Ling as if looking at a child.
But if she made Su Ling change how he addressed her to Grandma, wouldn't she have zero chance left?
"Muyan, are you listening to me?" Seeing Xue Muyan didn't respond, Su Ling continued.
Xue Muyan immediately said: "I went when I was young, I gained experience for three years."
"Then Muyan, you are already Rank... Rank 96, how are you still single?" Su Ling asked suddenly, urgently retracting a mention of ninety years old while speaking.
With favorability reaching over seventy, the topics Su Ling asked about began to become sensitive.
Sigh...
Xue Muyan sighed softly, seemingly not wanting to talk about this issue.
Su Ling continued: "Muyan, if you meet someone you like, you must grasp it firmly. Age is not a problem; what matters most is that you like it yourself. You don't need to care about others' judgment; after all, love knows no age. Don't wait until you've lost it to regret it."
After speaking, Su Ling immediately activated the Listen to Advice skill.
It was just a pity that the first time he used this skill on Xue Muyan, it failed.
Fortunately, what Su Ling said in this sentence also made sense.
Xue Muyan behind him seemed very moved; Su Ling could sense the changes in her body, after all, the two were pressed so closely together.
Su Ling's words touched upon their current situation, and also alluded to Xue Muyan's past.
However, after hearing what Su Ling said, Xue Muyan remained silent and did not speak again, and Su Ling did not continue to ask, wanting to give Xue Muyan a process for her mindset and thinking to change.
When the two arrived at the gate of Fengxue City, Xue Muyan finally spoke: "Su Ling, what you said is very right!"
After saying this sentence, Xue Muyan did not speak again!
But Su Ling also knew the result.
[Ding... Xue Muyan favorability +2, obtained purple treasure chest *1]
Arriving at the city gate, Su Ling directly used Teleportation to bring Xue Muyan into the city, mainly fearing being seen.
He brought her all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, and Su Ling sent Xue Muyan back to the front of her door.
"Su Ling, can I go to that Ice Flame Cave of yours? This place is very important for my Cultivation." Xue Muyan said with a serious face.
Actually, this was her main purpose for sparring with Su Ling, bringing it up after the battle.
Only when they returned and were about to part ways did she remember this matter.
Su Ling smiled and said: "Of course you can, use it as long as you want. However, you must wait until your injuries are completely healed before I take you there."
"Really?" Xue Muyan was very surprised. Su Ling was actually letting her use the Ice Flame Cave at will; this was something she never expected.
Previously, she thought she would definitely have to pay some price, and she would have been satisfied if she could just strive to use it for two or three months every year.
Su Ling said: "Actually, the Ice Flame Cave is no longer the Ice Flame Cave it was before. When the Ice Flame Sect was destroyed, it was damaged by them. The Ice Flame at that cultivation place is already less than one-tenth of what it used to be, so I estimate it won't be of much use to you."
"It's fine, even if it's only one-tenth, it still has a very good Cultivation effect for me." Xue Muyan quickly responded.
"Alright then, I will take you when your injuries are healed, Muyan. You should just stay at my City Lord's Mansion during this time." Su Ling suggested.
"Alright, then I will trouble you."
"It's no trouble. Your presence is an honor, Muyan, I couldn't ask for more. It's already very late today, so rest early." Su Ling finished speaking and turned to leave.
And at the moment he left.
[Ding... Xue Muyan favorability +2, obtained purple treasure chest *2]
Not bad, not bad. This Xue Muyan is easier to deal with than expected!
How about, before leaving, I cook a meal with her first?
After all, Su Ling hadn't vented the evil fire in his heart for a long time, and his heart was itching!
