The little dragon, now officially recognized as a Radiant Giant Dragon, remained just as adorable as ever.
After everyone finished processing the astonishing changes Xiao Long had undergone, their attention quickly shifted elsewhere.
More specifically, they were eager to discover what kind of Third Spirit Ability Yu Xiaogang had gained.
After all, this was a ten-thousand-year Third Spirit Ability.
Such a thing had never appeared before in the history of the Douluo Continent.
Even Yu Xiaogang himself was filled with anticipation.
He had no idea what kind of ability he had obtained this time.
"Xiao Long, release your Spirit Ability."
"Awoo! └(^o^)┘"
As Yu Xiaogang circulated his spirit power, three spirit rings instantly appeared around him.
Two purple rings.
One black ring.
The moment they appeared, everyone present couldn't help but stare.
No matter how many times they looked at that combination, it still felt unbelievable.
A Soul Elder possessing a black spirit ring as his third ring was simply unheard of.
As the spirit rings revolved around him, Yu Xiaogang activated the power contained within them.
The black third spirit ring suddenly shone with brilliant light.
The next moment, a dazzling radiance erupted from his body and spread rapidly in all directions.
Within seconds, a mysterious field enveloped the surrounding area.
A powerful aura descended upon everyone present.
"This is..."
Yu Yuanzhen's pupils contracted.
"A Domain?!"
His voice rose several octaves as he shouted in disbelief.
The shock on his face was impossible to hide.
A Domain-type Spirit Ability!
On the Douluo Continent, Domain abilities were among the rarest and most valuable powers a Spirit Master could possess.
Most Domains functioned by creating a special field around the user.
Within that field, the Spirit Master would receive various enhancements while their enemies suffered suppression or weakening effects.
Even ordinary enhancement and weakening abilities were considered rare.
However, a Domain was fundamentally different.
Its effects applied across an entire area.
As long as an opponent entered the Domain, they would immediately be affected.
It didn't matter whether there was one enemy or one hundred.
Everyone inside would suffer the same suppression.
Likewise, allies could receive the Domain's benefits as well.
For this reason, Domains were often considered the ultimate support ability available to non-support Spirit Masters.
And that wasn't all.
Most Domains possessed unique special effects beyond simple enhancement and suppression.
Every Domain had its own characteristics.
Every Domain was extraordinary.
As a result, Spirit Masters who possessed Domains were almost always regarded as monsters among their peers.
Their combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators at the same level.
"Hahaha!"
Yu Yuanzhen burst into laughter.
"A Domain!"
"It's actually a Domain!"
"Heaven truly favors the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
If Yu Yuanzhen's reaction could be described as losing his composure, then the Grand Elder's reaction was even more exaggerated.
The old man practically began dancing on the spot.
His face flushed red with excitement.
A Domain!
A genuine Domain-type Spirit Ability!
According to the clan's historical records, every Spirit Master who had ever possessed a Domain was an extraordinary powerhouse.
Within their Domains, they were nearly invincible against opponents of the same level.
But that wasn't even what excited the Grand Elder most.
The truly astonishing part was another fact recorded in the clan archives.
Every Domain user in the clan's records had eventually reached the level of Titled Douluo.
There had been a few exceptions who died before reaching that stage.
However, based on the talent they displayed, none of them would have had difficulty becoming Titled Douluo if they had survived.
Furthermore, Domains were usually abilities that appeared only in the later stages of cultivation.
Take Sword Douluo Chen Xin, for example.
His Sword Domain only manifested after he became a Titled Douluo.
Similarly, Spirit Hall's former Pope, Qian Xunji, obtained his Angel Domain only after reaching the same realm.
Yet Yu Xiaogang had awakened a Domain as his Third Spirit Ability.
A Third Spirit Ability!
It was completely unprecedented.
The Grand Elder could barely imagine what kind of monster Yu Xiaogang would become in the future.
If a Soul Elder already possessed abilities comparable to those of a Titled Douluo, what would happen once he actually reached that level?
The mere thought made the Grand Elder's heart race.
Most importantly, Yu Xiaogang belonged to their clan.
How could he not be excited?
Nearby, Bibi Dong was equally stunned.
She had expected Yu Xiaogang's third ability to be powerful.
But she never expected it to be this powerful.
A Domain.
An actual Domain.
How was she supposed to compete with him in the future?
As everyone remained frozen in shock, Yu Xiaogang focused entirely on understanding his new ability.
He slowly closed his eyes.
The moment he did, an entirely new perception unfolded before him.
Within the Domain's boundaries, he could sense countless particles of light.
The entire area seemed connected to his consciousness.
It felt as though endless light energy was waiting for his command.
Curious, Yu Xiaogang attempted to manipulate it.
Immediately, the surrounding light began gathering together.
Streams of brilliant radiance condensed in the sky.
Then one sword appeared.
Then another.
And another.
Within moments, thousands of radiant swords hung overhead.
The sky itself seemed to transform into a sea of light.
The sight was breathtaking.
And terrifying.
Even Bibi Dong couldn't help swallowing nervously.
She imagined herself standing on the opposite side of the battlefield.
Instantly, she realized something frightening.
There was no easy way to fight this.
Previously, Yu Xiaogang could only create a limited number of Light Swords.
But now?
The entire sky was filled with them.
Even if those swords did nothing but fall straight down, they would be enough to overwhelm most Spirit Masters.
The pressure was immense.
"I understand now."
Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes.
A grin immediately spread across his face.
He finally understood why Domain abilities were held in such high regard.
Reading about them was one thing.
Experiencing one firsthand was another.
Only now did he truly realize how absurdly powerful Domains were.
"Xiaogang!"
Yu Yuanzhen stepped forward eagerly.
"Stop smiling and explain it already!"
"What exactly does your Domain do?"
Everyone immediately turned their attention toward Yu Xiaogang.
They were desperate to know.
"Ah? Right."
Yu Xiaogang scratched his head.
Then he laughed again.
"Hahaha..."
"Sorry, sorry."
"I really can't help it."
The more he thought about his new ability, the happier he became.
A Spirit Ability like this was simply too incredible.
Smack!
Yu Yuanzhen immediately slapped him on the back of the head.
"Speak properly!"
"Ow!"
Yu Xiaogang rubbed the sore spot and winced.
Even so, he couldn't suppress the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
Taking a deep breath, he finally began explaining.
"My Third Spirit Ability..."
"For now, let's call it Radiant Domain."
The moment those words left his mouth, everyone's expressions became serious.
"When I activate the Domain, I gain control over the Origin Qi within its range."
"I can freely convert that energy into light-attributed spirit power."
The crowd listened carefully.
Yu Xiaogang continued.
"By combining it with my First Spirit Ability, I can transform that energy into attacks anywhere within the Domain."
He pointed toward the countless swords floating overhead.
"Just like those."
"As long as I remain inside the Domain..."
A confident smile appeared on his face.
"I can create attacks whenever and wherever I want."
The crowd fell silent.
Because they all understood what those words truly meant.
Within the Radiant Domain, Yu Xiaogang wasn't simply stronger.
He controlled the battlefield itself.
