Chapter 377: Becoming a Heavenly King! Myriad Domain!
There was a weak sound of prompting by Su Hao’s ears. The jade buildings and plants and flowers that entered his eyes burst out with dazzling light. They were of all colors, rushing into the sky like rainbows.
Even from dozens of kilometers away, one could see the colorful light in the distant horizon.
Luckily…
Such a dazzling light appeared and disappeared quickly. The brilliance that hung straight into the sky only lasted for three to five seconds before disappearing, making the few Sprite Trainers in the venue area who saw the colorful light rub their eyes and couldn’t help but think that it was just their imagination.
The gorgeous rainbows of the immortal palace had already disappeared. At the core of the breakthrough, the storm enveloping the pressure chamber didn’t calm down. Instead, it became even more terrifying.
At this moment, Butterfly had already advanced to monarch rank, but its entire body was still hidden in the substance-like energy vortex.
Storm howled.
Butterfly’s absorption of energy became even stronger after the breakthrough.
On the display outside the pressure chamber, the energy reserves jumped from 80% to 70%, and then to 60%. It was being consumed at an extremely fast speed.
The few staff members who were constantly adding spiritual jades into the furnace underground were already so busy that their feet never had the time to rest. Even if they threw baskets in, the speed of energy replenishment was far slower than consumption.
Their foreheads were all sweating profusely.
In the pressure chamber the size of two basketball courts, every inch of space was filled with storms. Not only was there spiritual energy that kept gushing out from the ground, but there was also natural energy absorbed from all directions from outside the pressure chamber!
Even the seal couldn’t stop it!
Elemental particles surged. There wasn’t just wood-element and illusion-element spiritual energy, but also energy from other elements. Butterfly was not a picky eater.
Butterfly absorbed all of this energy like a whale swallowing the sea!
On the interface, Butterfly’s basic information was also jumping up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It took advantage of its breakthrough and absorbed a large amount of elemental energy. Soon, it completed the accumulation of one month, two months, and three months’ worth of energy that were usually only achieved after the breakthrough.
Hu ~ Hu ~ Hu ~
About half an hour later, the raging energy storm gradually calmed down. At this moment, the energy reserves of the pressure room were almost exhausted, leaving only a glaring red number—5%.
In the pressure room, Butterfly’s figure appeared again.
Its appearance was no different from before. It still had the same butterfly wings and butterfly skirt and was the same size.
But at a glance, one could discover that its aura had become even more illusory and ethereal, as if what existed there wasn’t its real body, but just a projection.
A mysterious’ field ’emanated from Butterfly’s body, similar to the ability of the Fallen Fluorescent Demon that could cause people to become dazed. After breaking through, Butterfly itself had now represented illusion. Even if one didn’t look at it, just standing a few hundred meters away, any elite Sprite Trainer would be easily affected and wouldn’t be able to last long.
At this moment, Butterfly’s eyes were closed as it was familiarizing itself with the explosive increase in strength after breaking through.
Before long, its eyes opened, and the invisible field was completely restrained. Everything returned to normal, and only a crisp and pleasant voice spread far away.
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
Seeing that Butterfly had broken through with perfection, Su Hao revealed a relieved smile.
Just as he was thinking of opening the door of the pressure room, a mysterious power suddenly descended.
“It’s… the feedback from Butterfly after it broke through.”
Su Hao could sense that his already very strong soul power had a substantial increase now, but the increase in soul power was only the beginning. Soon, the six special powers—dream, fire, lightning, and so on—appeared in the depths of his soul. As Butterfly gave him the opportunity to increase his power, his powers suddenly merged together.
Boom!
It was as if something had exploded. Endless power surged out from the depths of his soul and gathered into his four limbs.
Countless blurry images appeared in his mind. Somehow, Su Hao seemed to have gained some comprehension.
Every blurry image represented a choice.
A Heavenly King Domain path!
He had long learned these from Senior Wu when he first entered university.
At this moment, he was very calm. As long as he chose a certain part of it as his domain, he would be able to become an Earth Heavenly King.
“The choice of the Heavenly King Domain is definitely related to the first Sprite Trainer to break through to monarch rank. But normally speaking, aren’t there only three to five choices…”
“Why are there dozens of available options now?”
Although there were more options, the situation ultimately didn’t exceed Su Hao’s expectations… He quickly found the domain path he wanted.
One to ten thousand, and then back to one again!
This was…
The Myriad Domain!
Boom!
He could finally see through the fog! He had understood the truth! He had grasped the rules!
Like breathing instinct, Su Hao instantly had a direct understanding of the domain he controlled!
“Senior Wu’s Ten-Thousand Wood Domain can promote plant growth and bring with it infinite vitality. The whole Domain can also be used on any sprite with wood-element attributes.”
It was simple and direct, but it wasn’t weak either.
“And my Myriad Domain…”
“In essence, it covers countless changes. This is a good domain. Firstly, Butterfly itself is already proficient in transformation. Apart from Illusion and Wood-element, it also dabbled in thunder, fire, and water-element changes.”
“Secondly, I am now able to unlock countless improved unique skills, profound meanings, secret manuals, cultivation plans, and more…”
“The basic usage of the Myriad Domain is to promote sprites’ learning of unique skills and secret manuals… It’s equivalent to starting a comprehension cheat!”
“In addition, unlike attribute domains, the Myriad Domain mainly increases the power and control of unique skills secret manuals. The more exquisite the unique skill secret manual, the greater the increase in power… However, there are also prerequisites for sprites that can be affected. They need to master some exquisite unique skills of different types.”
It was nothing like attribute domains, which were simple and crude. Even a sprite that had just been born could be directly enveloped by the power of its corresponding attribute domain.
10 days to reach entry level!
50 days to reach elite level!
200 days to reach extraordinary level!
The attribute domain was very strong when used to nurture newbie sprites.
“However, non-attribute domains also have their own benefits. With such domains, there was no need to adhere to a certain type of attribute. My current Myriad Power is especially…”
Su Hao thought for a moment and confirmed that his Heavenly King Domain could be applied to any sprite…
So…
“I’m indeed an expert in technology!”
“Gurgle ~”
He turned around. At this moment, Butterfly’s body had already turned incorporeal, and it had already passed through the wall of the pressure room by itself—Well, it was mainly because Su Hao was too busy comprehending the power of the universe and had forgotten to open the door.
When Su Hao turned back, the instructor in charge of the pressure room area was already walking towards him. From afar, Su Hao saw what the instructor was holding in his hand—it was a long bill!
It was the bills calculated after quantifying the impact, destruction, and spiritual jades caused by Butterfly’s breakthrough.
As soon as it saw the bill, Butterfly turned into the size of a palm with a pop and flew to his head to bury its head.
Su Hao :”…”
Did Su Hao look like a Sprite Trainer who would take money from his sprite’s personal savings? Huh ~?
At most, he would only deduct a small portion from Butterfly’s future earnings.
Butterfly breaking through to monarch rank caused a huge commotion. Apart from the instructors in charge, other instructors also rushed over from nearby.
At this moment…
“Neighhh—”
A loud and clear neigh came from above. Looking up at the sky, he discovered that it was a Sprite Trainer riding a Cloud Water Dragon Horse, rushing over at an extremely fast speed.
Ripples appeared on the horse’s hooves as it took giant steps forward that spanned two to three hundred meters.
It was… a monarch rank Cloud Water Dragon Horse!
There was a horn on its head and some interweaving stripes on its body. It roared.
The person who came was Whale Island University’s professor, Heavenly King of the Vast Ocean, Wei Mingyuan.
Seeing that there was no disaster here, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief. He asked again, “What happened?”
As he spoke, he looked at Su Hao. To be precise, he looked at Butterfly above Su Hao’s head.
With the sharp senses of a Heavenly King, he quickly discovered that the monarch’s pressure on Butterfly’s body was still unable to be completely restrained. It couldn’t help but be surprised.
“So that sprite… is the one who broke through to monarch rank?”
“Yes, my Butterfly Fairy just broke through. The commotion might have been a little big,” Su Hao said with a sigh. “After staying in the pseudo monarch for a few months, it finally broke through. It’s not easy, not easy…”
Su Hao thought about how Sun Son had advanced to Heavenly King a few months ago. In comparison, Su Hao still had a lot of room for improvement.
A certain instructor: “???”
Heavenly King of the Vast Ocean: “???”
You call a few months of preparation for a breakthrough a long time?
Heavenly King of the Vast Ocean recalled that he had once experienced countless hardships and dangers before finally nurturing his first sprite to monarch rank.
Then, he looked at Su Hao…?
The other instructors were even more shocked. They felt like they had lived for 30 to 40 years for nothing!
…
…
After thinking about it carefully, they realized that Su Hao, someone who was considered the pride of Whale Island, had only been a Sprite Trainer for three years after contracting a sprite.
He took three years to become a Heavenly King!
Thinking about it this way, spending a few months preparing to break through to monarch rank was indeed a long time… Like hell it was! (╯ ‵ □ ′) ╯ ( ┻ ━ ┻
Heavenly King Vast Ocean wanted to scream.
But he hadn’t forgotten his duty. As he inquired about the details of the matter, he looked around.
Apart from the fact that the energy reserves in the “super” pressure room in front of him were a little low, there weren’t any other problems… Fortunately, the scene of the immortal palace just now was just an illusion…
Just as he thought so, Heavenly King Vast Ocean realized that something was wrong.
Not far away, on some flower beds outside the room, countless flowers had unknowingly bloomed. In the cracks between the stone slabs, weeds grew tenaciously, already half a meter tall… These couldn’t possibly have originally existed. Whale Island University had people tending to these flowers and plants every day.
“Consider it my contribution to the school’s plants. I’ve always been so protective of nature.”
Su Hao waved his hand.
The corners of Heavenly King Vast Ocean’s mouth twitched. When he recalled Su Hao saying ‘just broke through’ just now, veins popped up on his forehead.
He had the urge to hit him.
“Why don’t I beat him up before he becomes a Heavenly King?”
Heavenly King Vast Ocean was tempted, but on second thought, he brushed it off as it wasn’t appropriate. Moreover, even if he were to beat Su Hao up now, given Su Hao’s potential, the Heavenly King realized that he might be beaten back twice as hard in a short time. It’s too much of a loss, too much of a loss.”
He quickly dismissed the idea.
On the other hand, Su Hao was currently paying a huge sum of money. It was equivalent to the amount of money he could accumulate as an instructor for two to three months. Then, he left with Butterfly.
He wanted to try using Butterfly’s breakthrough ability and his Myriad Domain.
…
At the university campus, in the training area…
Su Hao opened a high-level training hall alone and called for Dazed Crow, Big Fat Bear, and other sprites.
“Neigh ~?”
As soon as the Dumb Unicorn appeared, it kept running around him, feeling that something was different about the Sprite Trainer boss?
It couldn’t help but move closer and rub its head.
Unfortunately, its head was a little big, and was even covered in scales and horns.
Big Fat Bear and Fufu, also sensed the change in Butterfly’s body. They felt that it became even more profound.
They looked at Butterfly in awe and admiration.
Only the Dazed Crow stared at its saber for a while before realizing…
“Squawk?” “Squawk, squawk, squawk…”
Hearing that it could increase its strength, fighting ability, and other things, Crow immediately became excited. Before the other sprites could say or do anything, it immediately spread its wings and flew out, landing in the middle of the empty training hall. In an instant, a gilded flame coat covered its body.
It was entering the Flaming Feather Form.
Golden Flame Feather Form!
“Squawk…”
It immediately gathered its strength and swung out a dazzling golden blade light, slashing at the testing stone tablet standing tall in the distance.
Boom!
The gilded flames exploded and were absorbed by the stone tablet.
Instantly…
The testing stone tablet lit up with a burst of light, and its position kept rising.
This was a higher-level testing equipment than a Power Testing Machine. It wasn’t as precise as a Testing Machine, but it could withstand the power of extraordinary-level or even monarch-level unique skills.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
The light rose and finally covered the fifth level of the stone tablet.
First level meant entry level.
Second-level meant elite.
Levels three to five meant extraordinary.
The Dazed Crow’s current results meant that its slashes were at the peak of extraordinary level.
Of course, it hadn’t used its full strength yet.
“Continue.”
Su Hao said. At the same time, he controlled it with his mind, enveloping the Dazed Crow with his Myriad Domain in an unfamiliar manner.
In an instant…
The Dazed Crow’s aura only increased slightly—mainly because the Myriad Domain didn’t increase much strength.
But…
It swung its blade again, and the gilded blade light expanded in the wind, becoming more than ten meters long. It was dazzling and resplendent, and with a power that was countless times stronger than before, it directly hit the Testing Stone Tablet.
Boom!!!
A wave of resplendent light exploded. Even though a large amount of energy was absorbed, there were still waves that spread out, stirring up strong winds.
At the same time, the light of the stone tablet rose rapidly and finally stopped at the intersection of the fifth and sixth levels.
“The power of a half-step monarch rank!”
“It’s already stronger than the full-strength attack of ordinary pseudo monarch sprites!”
“If the Dazed Crow unleashes its full power and is amplified by my domain… it will definitely be able to deal a blow comparable to a monarch sprite.”
Such an increase was already very strong.
If the Crow were to face the monarch Sand Earthworm Dragon again, with Su Hao’s Myriad Domain, the Dazed Crow could directly break through the Earthworm’s defense and injure it.
“Besides, the Myriad Domain doesn’t just enhance power, but also…”
Dazed Crow, who had just experienced the benefits of cheating, was already unable to contain its excitement. Without waiting for Su Hao to give the order, it continuously waved its dazzling golden saber light and slashed at the testing stone tablet.
It struck out more than ten times in a row. It paused for a moment, gathered strength again, and drew its saber.
The golden light slashed out and instantly passed through layers of space, but it didn’t slash at the Testing Stone Tablet. Instead… it shot straight into the sky.
It cut through the clouds and emitted dazzling sunlight.
The Big Fat Bear scratched its head, not understanding.
Su Hao looked up at the sky and waited quietly.
…
At the same time…
Heavenly King Wu had just heard that his Little Junior Brother had advanced to Heavenly King. After yelling out three consecutive curses, he drove the Trading Puppet and found the training hall.
“I don’t know what Little Junior’s Heavenly King Domain is, but the Domain that has just advanced to Heavenly King is usually relatively weak. It needs constant training and feedback to increase its power before it can show the true power of a Heavenly King Domain.”
Heavenly King Wu thought.
Just as he was about to let Trading Puppet land, he saw a beam of golden light rush out of the training hall and slash through the clouds.
He nodded slightly when he saw it. “Its power is pretty good, but why did it slash at the clouds? Isn’t there a testing stone tablet in the training hall…”
Just as the word “hall” was spoken, the golden blade light that had already slashed through the sky and disappeared without a trace… returned to his vision once again. It circled in the air with still terrifying energy and accurately hit the test stone tablet standing on the ground.
Boom!
Smoke and dust filled the air.
The Dazed Crow slashed out dozens of golden lights like how a child would after having discovered a new toy. All of the slashes flew to the end of the horizon and circled back. The explosive destructive energy didn’t affect its control of the saber light at all. In fact, it was becoming more and more familiar with it.
Heavenly King Wu just stared blankly at the two dragons drawn in the air by the countless golden lights.
He was silent for a long time.
