145: The Extreme Domain and Power (asking for monthly ticket)

“The feeling it gives me is extremely profound, like a great mountain, yet its sharpness is unparalleled. How should I put it? Do you think this person's Dao Soldier might have already touched upon…”

“The Extreme Domain?” Wei Zhong raised an eyebrow, already guessing what Colonel Chang Shan wanted to say. His expression changed slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he shook his head.

“You and I both know that at the Dao Soldier Realm, although there isn't a specific Rank division, it's essentially determined from the Body Profound Realm. The stronger the Divine Ability Cultivated, the stronger the Dao Seed born from opening the Heavenly Gate, the more Geng Jin Materials that can be Fused, and the higher the quality of the Dao Soldier forged. Once formed, it's basically set, and subsequent growth requires a long period of nurturing. For the relatively short lifespan of ordinary martial artists, it's not enough to achieve a Breakthrough. At least, Wei Zhong has never heard of it. As for Cultivating to a higher Realm, there's no need to elaborate. Those who can reach that step don't need further words; they are already at the Peak of the Martial Dao.”

“Although Wei Zhong has never seen it and only heard a little about it from books, Deputy General Chen's Dao Soldier, though strong, hasn't reached that Domain. Otherwise, the Dao Soldiers of those people would have crumbled at a touch, perhaps not even lasting two or three rounds.”

The Extreme Domain refers to a Dao Soldier breaking through the limits of its Materials and Dao Seed, leading to a exponential increase in combat power. Its growth potential is extremely strong; as the Realm increases, the combat power amplification it exhibits becomes even more terrifying. In the Jianghu, it is also known as the Limitless Dao Soldier!

This kind of Jianghu rumor is widely spread, but those who have truly seen it are few and far between.

“This General just felt that Chen Yuan's Dao Soldier had astonishing power, which is why This General said that!”

Colonel Chang Shan nodded. He had only brought it up on a whim for a brief discussion.

Wei Zhong was noncommittal, preparing to discuss the follow-up matters concerning the three families with the two of them.

“Now, although the three families have been annihilated, and those who jumped out were all small fry, the true masterminds…”

Just as he spoke, a thunderous roar suddenly came from outside, followed by a piercing shriek that could shatter metal and stone.

The three Zhonglang Generals instantly felt a powerful pressure emerge, their expressions changing in an instant as they shot out of the hall.

“How dare you, who dares to…” Wei Zhong thought a powerful enemy was forcing their way into the Inner City, but the next second, his eyes widened.

He saw a streak of light shooting towards their direction.

A Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear, constantly changing in length, seemed to be out of control, and the Qi waves it stirred up along the way violently tore off the roofs of many buildings, leaving a scene of chaos and the soldiers in disarray.

“What's going on?” Wei Zhong naturally recognized this spear; they had just been discussing it. However, seeing the spear charging towards them, his eyebrows immediately twitched.

“No, I must restrain this weapon first, or it will demolish my building.”

With that, his figure flickered in the Void Realm.

First, he cast a Restriction Divine Ability, striking towards the long spear.

Unexpectedly, the few Restriction divine lights he cast were directly dispersed before they even landed on the spear body.

Seeing this, Wei Zhong was somewhat surprised. Then, his eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of seriousness. He exhaled, and a swirling vortex of wind emerged from his mouth. From a foot in size, it rapidly expanded into a tornado, surging towards Chen Yuan's Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear.

The next second, there was a roar.

The long spear shattered the tornado with a thunderous crash, then continued its charge without losing momentum, still rushing towards them.

Wei Zhong's expression changed in alarm. Seeing the distance closing, he quickly shouted.

“You two, quickly stop it!”

The other two, seeing Wei Zhong miss twice in a row, were also startled and quickly took action.

Three divine lights simultaneously struck Chen Yuan's Dao Soldier. The long spear vibrated violently, continuously shattering the spiritual light. The three men simultaneously pushed hard, and the divine light surged, finally causing the long spear to quiet down.

At this moment, Wei Zhong seized the opportunity, his body flashing. He appeared near the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear, his hands covered in dense True Qi, and he grasped the now calm spear body.

However, the next second, his expression drastically changed. As the long spear fell, his body was immediately pulled, falling madly downwards.

“So heavy!”

He didn't even have time to react.

Seeing this, Colonel Chang Shan and General Wu Sheng quickly reached out, condensing large True Qi hands, and grabbing at the long spear.

“What?!”

An exclamation rang out.

The two couldn't hold it; their bodies tilted downwards, and they also fell.

Just then, a golden light, like a shooting star chasing the moon, quickly arrived. A hand reached out and grabbed.

The Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear stopped its descent. Then, the long spear vanished, transforming into a streak of light, and with a 'clang,' it landed in the hands of the arriving Chen Yuan.

The other three Zhonglang Generals finally stopped their descent, looking at the newly appeared Chen Yuan with surprise.

Chen Yuan had a somewhat embarrassed look on his Face. He wiped his hand across the spear body, and the long spear quickly vanished. Then he cupped his fists, “Three This Generals, my apologies. Something went wrong when I was refining my Dao Soldier, causing this spear to lose control. I hope none of you were injured.”

Wei Zhong and the other two, hearing Chen Yuan's words, had somewhat awkward expressions. They really wanted to reply, 'Are you being polite?'

If they hadn't seen that the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear was uncontrolled just now, they would have thought that Deputy General Chen was testing their depth.

But very quickly, a tidal wave of shock surged in their hearts. Chen Yuan's Dao Soldier, when uncontrolled, was barely restrained by the three of them working together.

If it were in Chen Yuan's hands, the sheer terror of it made the three of them shiver at the thought.

They couldn't stop it at all!

Moreover, they had witnessed the power of this spear with their own eyes before. If they said that this spear gave them a powerful feeling before, now it gave them a terrifying feeling.

The three Zhonglang Generals were surprised and doubtful at this moment. Thinking of their previous conversation, they felt a little dazed for a while.

How strong this long spear was now, they didn't know, because they had to wait for Deputy General Chen to make another move!

“So that's how it is!”

At this moment, Tianxiong Pass Zhonglang General Wei Zhong spoke. Although he felt a bit embarrassed about making a fool of himself, he wouldn't disrespect Chen Yuan. “Deputy General Chen's Divine Ability is vast; a single long spear made us three This Generals flustered. We've made Chen Yuan laugh.”

Speaking of this, Wei Zhong felt a bit sour: “Deputy General Chen, if it's not too much to ask, This General would like to know, how heavy is this spear of yours?”

If you say this Dao Soldier is powerful, he admits it. During the hunting of the three families' Heavenly Gate experts the night before, this long spear's power was astonishing, and its military achievements were glorious, which led to the previous conjectures among the three of them.

But if you say that he can't even lift a spear now, this Zhonglang General, who guards the pass and has some pride in his heart, found it a bit unacceptable.

The scene just now made his old Face flush with embarrassment.

Chen Yuan could probably understand what this Zhonglang General meant.

“Chen doesn't know the exact weight either.”

With that, he raised an eyebrow, and the long spear reappeared in his hand, dropping straight down and embedding itself directly into the plaza in front of the Zhonglang Hall.

Chen Yuan had held back his strength; otherwise, he estimated that this plaza would have been ruined.

“Zhonglang General Wei might as well try to weigh it.”

“Good!” Wei Zhong replied cheerfully, his body dropping down to the plaza, next to the ten-foot-long Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear.

Then, he saw this Zhonglang General place one hand on the spear body, then shout, his Physical Body expanding, his arm suddenly thickening, and he pulled upwards with force.

“Rise!”

The long spear didn't move an inch!

Then, Wei Zhong used both hands.

“Hmph!”

The veins on his neck bulged.

The spear body finally moved.

But the movement was very small, only half a foot.

He still couldn't pull the spear out.

“Hmph!”

Wei Zhong's Face flushed, whether from exerting too much force or from a lack of confidence, this time he directly used his True Qi Divine Ability.

“Whoosh!”

The Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear was finally slowly pulled out of the ground.

“Phew!”

After holding on for two breaths, Wei Zhong released his grip and let out a long sigh.

He didn't know what to say now.

This spear was heavier than he imagined. With his Physical Body strength, he couldn't move it at all; he could only rely on his Divine Ability True Qi to budge it.

It was hard to imagine what would happen if this terrifyingly heavy long spear were to strike someone.

“Let me try!” The Fourth Heavenly Gate Zhonglang General, Colonel Chang Shan, had long been eager to try and was very curious about Chen Yuan's Dao Soldier. His burly figure stepped forward.

Then, his Physical Body crackled and popped, his body rapidly growing to nearly two zhang in height, and his aura became violent, as if he had used some kind of Physical Body Divine Ability. As he walked, the ground shook, and he stepped forward!

Like Wei Zhong, he first activated his Physical Body strength.

“Hmph!”

His muscles bulged. He was much better than Wei Zhong, pulling out an extra half a foot.

Afterward, he also had to use True Qi to pull out the spear tip; the situation was not much different.

Later, General Wu Sheng also tried, and it was pretty much the same.

At this point, the three of them were completely convinced by Chen Yuan. After all, if you can't even lift someone else's spear, how can you compare?

“Chen Yuan, I, Old Wei, am truly convinced!” If the gap was small, there would still be a desire to compete, but if the gap was too large, what remained was admiration.

Wei Zhong cupped his fists solemnly, then let out a hearty laugh: “In the future, Chen Yuan will surely soar to great heights. It's fate that the four of us can gather together. Let's go, let's go.”

“Chen Yuan's welcoming banquet hasn't even been held. I'll arrange for someone to serve wine! Chen Yuan, please don't refuse. You helped Old Wei solve a big problem. If it gets out that you, Chen Yuan, came to support my Tianxiong Pass, and didn't even get a hot meal or a pot of good wine, how will other colleagues view me in the future?”

“Isn't that right, you two?”

Colonel Chang Shan and General Wu Sheng also laughed heartily and nodded.

Chen Yuan had nothing to say and naturally went along with it.

“Excellent!”

“Please!”

“Men, prepare the banquet!”

“Yes!”

………………

After a hearty drinking session, the time went from midday to late afternoon as the sun set in the west.

Chen Yuan was driven back to his courtyard by the soldiers.

“This General!”

“Take it easy!”

At the courtyard gate, Commander Liu Qing lifted the curtain to help Chen Yuan out of the carriage.

Chen Yuan waved his hand, and his originally drunken expression returned to normal in an instant.

When drinking, one should enjoy the slight intoxication it brings, but once the banquet is over, everything returns to normal.

Chen Yuan returned to this courtyard, then went back to the quiet cultivation room. He looked up at the hole in the ceiling, and his eyes instantly became somewhat strange.

Then, he spread his hands, and the Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear appeared in his grasp.

Last night, by adding nearly two hundred Luck points, he successively Fused five pieces of Geng Jin material to refine his Dao Soldier.

After Fusing the fifth piece, this Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear seemed to reach a certain critical point and suddenly underwent an anomaly.

The spear body suddenly became more than twice as heavy, and the spear's tip became incomparably sharp. It became violent for a moment, soaring into the sky, and Chen Yuan, shaken by this spear's anomaly, felt his Qi surging. He adjusted his breathing for a few moments before catching up, which led to the subsequent scene.

At this moment, his mind moved, and a string of information appeared in his mind.

“Chen Yuan: Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General

Realm: Fourth Heavenly Gate (Dao Soldier Realm)

Luck Points: 45

Cultivation Technique: Dragon Subduing Post (Perfection), Demon Subduing Fist (Perfection), Taoist Internal Scripture Diagram (Perfection), Seventy-two Earthly Fiends (5/72)

Techniques: Animal Creation, Demon Subduing Fist

Divine Ability: Food Consumption, Dharma Eye (Cultivable), Swordsmanship, Mountain Carrying, Demon Nine Transformations (Mountain Monarch, Ox Demon, Zhen, Feiyi), Dream Grafting, Pot Heaven

Dao Soldier: Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Spear (Limitless)

Limitless: An Extreme Domain, where the Dao Soldier breaks its limits, and its combat power is amplified, with the amplification increasing exponentially as the Realm improves.”

Chen Yuan's mind revolved, pondering the last line of annotation.

Evidently, by continuously killing people to sacrifice the spear, and then using Luck points to accelerate the Fusion and refining of Geng Jin Materials, he had unknowingly brought his Cultivated Dao Soldier into a Breakthrough Domain.

And through his personal experience, entering this Domain was not achieved by refining the Dao Soldier with more Geng Jin Materials. The biggest reason was that the spear in his hand had killed many Heavenly Gate experts. Each time he killed a Heavenly Gate expert, he could vaguely feel his Dao Soldier becoming heavier and sharper, and later the feeling became clearer and clearer.

At this moment, he vaguely understood what this thing was called.

Momentum!

An unstoppable momentum!

A decisive momentum!

...

And this seems to be something that needs to be mastered to advance to the Dao Fruit Realm!

Chen Yuan vaguely understood.

In the future, he just needed to follow the momentum.
