Chapter 164 The Polar Stillness Domain!
"If this rift leading to Douluo Star persists and is accidentally discovered by powerful beings from other planes… they might not be subject to the restrictions of god-level strength and could enter Douluo Star!"
"At that time, the convergence of forces from different planes on Douluo Star will inevitably trigger unpredictable chaos and war!"
"It might even… ignite the flames of war in the God Realm!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the five God Kings turned extremely grim.
This was no exaggeration!
A rich plane that had lost the supervision of the God Realm and had a "backdoor" open was, to the powerful beings of other planes, nothing less than a piece of tempting meat!
"The best course of action now…" the God King of Life pondered for a moment before suggesting.
"Since we can't close it, we'll join forces to set up the most powerful concealment and protection array to hide this rift as much as possible, delaying the time it takes for other planes to discover it."
"At the same time, we must immediately dispatch a sufficiently powerful and reliable god-level being to keep a close watch on this spatial rift, preventing powerful beings from other planes from discovering it."
"That's the only way."
The Asura God-King took a deep breath, suppressing his agitation.
"Set up the array immediately! Upon returning to the God Realm, select a candidate immediately!"
"This matter concerns the safety of the God Realm; it cannot be lost!"
The five God-Kings no longer hesitated, each unleashing their divine power. Mysterious and complex divine runes intertwined and enveloped the rift, forming layers of powerful concealment and protection barriers.
This temporarily disguised and protected the unstable rift.
Having done all this, the six figures, with heavy hearts, instantly disappeared into the void of space, returning to the God Realm to discuss subsequent countermeasures.
Inside the Douluo Continent, there was no knowledge of this shocking event that had occurred outside the continent.
Everyone's attention remained firmly drawn to the upcoming reveal of the top four Martial Soul Fusion Skill rankings on the sky.
"Boom boom boom!"
Above the sky, the milky-white light symbolizing the upcoming revelation of the fourth place, after reaching its peak, did not conjure up the magnificent or strange phenomena it had before.
Instead, it suddenly shrank inward!
Then, with an almost tyrannical force, it expanded outward into an invisible yet seemingly tangible domain!
This domain was colorless and odorless!
It didn't even leak any energy fluctuations.
"This aura..."
But the moment it appeared, the consciousness of all the spectators felt as if it had been gripped by a cold, massive hand!
Thoughts froze, soul power solidified!
Even the sense of time's passage became blurred!
It was an absolute, soul-chilling stillness and sealing power!
Most ordinary soul masters only felt a strange palpitation and discomfort, utterly bewildered.
But for those powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the continent, this aura was all too familiar!
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"This is...that domain!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin suddenly stood up, his sword energy erupting uncontrollably, shattering the tea table beside him.
His expression was extremely solemn.
"The Bipolar Stillness Domain!"
"It's the fusion technique of those two old guys, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, from the Spirit Hall!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong was also astonished: "It's actually them? How is this possible?"
"With their level 96 cultivation, the power of this 'Bipolar Stillness Domain' is enough to threaten beings like us, plus its special characteristics..."
"Only ranked fourth? Not even in the top three?"
Ning Fengzhi gripped the armrest of his chair slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems we underestimated the judging criteria of this Heavenly Canopy, and also underestimated the hidden wonders of this world."
"Even the Bipolar Stillness Domain can only rank fourth, just how incredible are the top three?"
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened in disbelief: "Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is only ranked fourth?"
"Then are the top three all divine skills?"
He couldn't imagine what kind of Martial Soul Fusion Skill could surpass this control divine skill, which even Limit Douluo had to be wary of, in terms of strategic value and immediate threat.
[Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking, Fourth Place]
[Fusion Skill Name: Bipolar Stillness Domain]
[Owner: Yue Guan (Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum), Ghost (Ghost)]
[Current User's Soul Power Level: Yue Guan (Level 96 Title Douluo), Ghost (Level 96 Title Douluo)]
[Martial Soul Compatibility: 84%]
[Fusion Skill Power Description: An extremely rare domain-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It combines the 'Qi Rong' stabilizing power of the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum with the 'Void' imprisoning characteristic of the Ghost Martial Soul to form an absolutely still domain.] Within the domain, spacetime is nearly frozen, energy stagnates, and the thoughts and actions of living beings are severely restricted or even completely frozen. It possesses an extremely strong control effect on beings below the god level, and its strategic value is immeasurable.
[Ranking Reward: Both parties' soul power levels are increased by one level. When the Bipolar Stillness Domain is effective against targets below the god level, the base control duration is permanently increased by one second. Additional Reward: Slight increase in domain stability and anti-interference ability. (Rewards have been issued)]
Fourth place, Bipolar Stillness Domain!
From Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall!
The reward announcement has once again sparked heated discussion.
"Their soul power has increased by one level? They're Title Douluos! This reward is too generous!"
"The control duration has been permanently increased by one second? My god! In this kind of field, one extra second could be the difference between life and death!"
"However, it seems there are no blind boxes, nor any soul ring age increases..."
"What do you know! How difficult is it for a Title Douluo to advance one level? The value of this one level is probably higher than a ten-thousand-year soul bone!"
"Not to mention that extra second of control, it's simply a divine skill among divine skills!"
Spirit Hall, Pope's Hall.
When they saw that their Spirit Fusion Skill had indeed failed to enter the top three, a trace of disappointment inevitably flashed in the eyes of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
But the reward information that followed instantly dispelled this disappointment!
"Level ninety-seven! We've broken through to level ninety-seven!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt the surging soul power within his body, which was far more condensed and vast than when he was at level ninety-six, and his voice trembled with excitement.
At their level, each breakthrough signifies a qualitative leap in strength, an extension of lifespan, and a more secure position!
The ghostly figure shrouded in black robes trembled slightly, its hoarse voice filled with barely suppressed elation.
"Not just soul power, but domain control has increased by one second."
"This means that even against level 98 or even 99 Limit Douluo, as long as the timing is right, our domain can have a decisive impact!"
Bibi Dong, seated high on her throne, looked at the two excited elders below, a satisfied smile curving her cold lips.
Although failing to enter the top three was somewhat unexpected, the practicality of the reward, especially the direct boost to the two elders' strength, was far more important to her than a mere title.
The stronger Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, the more stable the Spirit Hall's high-end combat power would be.
"It seems the rewards from this Heavenly Canopy aren't entirely evenly distributed," Bibi Dong mused.
"Perhaps it's based on the characteristics of the Spirit Fusion Skill, the caster's needs, and even its impact on the continent's 'balance'?"
"The Polar Stillness Domain is already extremely powerful; further increasing its power might disrupt some kind of 'balance,' hence only a basic, but crucial, boost is given."
Her gaze involuntarily returned to the direction of Beidou Academy, her purple eyes flashing sharply.
"Even with such powerful Spirit Fusion Skills as Yue Guan and Gui Mei, they can only rank fourth!"
"Then, besides Beidou Academy, I really can't think of anyone else who could occupy the top three spots."
"Lu Xiao… just how many monsters are hidden in your academy?"
At this moment, almost all the top forces on the entire Douluo Continent were focusing their attention on Beidou Academy.
Everyone realized… the final peak of the Spirit Fusion Skill ranking would likely be completely monopolized by this mysterious and powerful Beidou Academy!
