Chapter 367: Stripped of Everything
"Dual Soul Domain!"
"Domain? It can't be!" Beleth muttered as he felt a powerful pressure emanating from Fang Yu's body. "It's impossible for you to have that!"
"Of course, it should be impossible for me." Fang Yu thought to herself as she activated her new bloodline ability. "But what can limits do against my determination?"
Fang Yu's new bloodline ability, 'Dual Soul Domain', can be technically only be used by her if she was at the Fourth Stage and she was in her Original Fused Form.
If her soul was not as powerful as someone with Nine Soul Reformations or Late Fourth Stage, or the souls of her male and female body were not combined together, there is no way for her to cast his bloodline ability!
So, if Fang Yu separates herself into her male and female body, these bodies of hers will not be able to cast the ability independently. They must fuse as one to have the chance to use it.
Why does this bloodline ability have these requirements? It was because of the power needed to fuel this ability.
The 'Dual Soul Domain' needs a powerful soul to activate it because this ability produces a Domain for Fang Yu!
That's right, a Domain which only Fifth Stage Practitioners could create is now available for Fang Yu's use!
As for its effects, Fang Yu's 'Dual Soul Domain' relies on the dao, law, and concepts of Duality.
The application of this Domain will all depend on how Fang Yu uses it.
Since the 'Dual Soul Domain' produces a Domain, Fang Yu should have a powerful soul for her to support this Domain!
Only when Fang Yu's soul strength was comparable to Nine Soul Reformations or Late Fourth Stage that she can activate the 'Dual Soul Domain'!"
Right now, with all the lucky encounters that Fang Yu had, the strength of each soul of her male and female body were comparable to someone with One Soul Reformation or Early Fourth Stage.
Since she had two of these souls in her Original Fused form, the burden for her to activate 'Dual Soul Domain' was also reduced.
But even with that, Fang Yu's total soul strength was deficient to support 'Dual Soul Domain'!
If she wants to activate 'Dual Soul Domain', the total soul strength of her two souls combined must reach Nine Soul Reformations!
But at her current state, Fang Yu's soul strength being comparable to Nine Soul Reformations, even just for a short amount of time seems impossible!
That was the problem that Fang Yu thought after she comprehended this bloodline ability earlier.
Because of that, Fang Yu decided to just use this ability once she found a way to make her soul strength be comparable to Nine Soul Reformations.
In short, she decided to keep her bloodline ability in the shelves until the time comes that she is able to use it.
But right now, Fang Yu had no choice but to use "Dual Soul Domain' because its her only chance to beat someone as powerful as Beleth!
So how did Fang Yu managed to increase her soul strength to Nine Soul Reformations?
The solution was simple, but also terrifying.
Fang Yu just ignited her Duality Godly Divine Beast Bloodline!
Only the ignition of her bloodline was Fang Yu's chance to boost her soul strength!
Igniting one's bloodline will grant the practitioner with additional power, but its side effects were not something to be scoffed at!
First of all, igniting the bloodline will force Fang Yu's body to bring out the potential hidden within her bloodline.
This potential was supposed to be used by Fang Yu for her to gain new abilities in the future. But bloodline ignition will turn this potential into a power boost on Fang Yu's soul.
Because of this, once Fang Yu stops her bloodline ignition, she will fall into an extremely weak state.
This will happen as Fang Yu will have to recover the lost potential in her bloodline. She will only regain her strength once she regains all the potential that she ignited in her bloodline.
With Fang Yu's bloodline being that of a Mutated and Evolved Godly Divine Beast, there was no doubt that the boost that she will get from her bloodline ignition will be great! But in exchange for this, Fang Yu will surely be in a weak state for a long time.
As for how long that was, it will depend on how much of her bloodline Fang Yu will ignite.
The more potential in her bloodline that Fang Yu ignited, the weaker she will get.
Of course, Fang Yu could not just ignite all the potential in her bloodline.
Burning all the potential in her bloodline will only kill Fang Yu!
Not only that, but Fang Yu still had the dilemma of facing Solomon after Beleth, that is if she defeats Beleth.
If Fang Yu were to ignite too much of her bloodline, won't that mean that she will be extremely defenseless against Solomon?
Because of that, Fang Yu had to use her 'Dual Soul Domain' in the shortest amount of time!
Right before activating her 'Dual Soul Domain', Fang Yu ignited her bloodline first.
"Guh!"
Fang Yu felt her body weakening as she saw the blood inside her body actually boiling!
This 'boiling' made her blood release an ethereal gas which Fang Yu wafted towards her soul.
"Hiss.....!"
Fang Yu felt a tearing pain in her soulscape as her two souls greedily absorbed this gas.
Her two souls let out a resplendent glow as they grew in size, going way bigger then Fang Yu expected.
As for their combined soul strength, Fang Yu felt giddy as she also felt their increase.
One Soul Reformations, Two Soul Reformations, Three Soul Reformations...
By the instant that her soul strength reached Nine Soul Reformations, Fang Yu's eyes glazed as she activated her newest bloodline ability!
"Wong...."
Fang Yu had her eyes wide open as she stared at her new ability.
She felt that everything 5 meters around her was now under the power of her Duality Domain!
As for Beleth, he was also covered by her domain too.
"Kgh..." Fang Yu's body trembled as she realized that she had to burn more and more of her potential if she wanted to just let her domain exist!
If this goes on for longer, Fang Yu's bloodline potential will run out before she could even make an attack towards Beleth!
"Slap!"
Fang Yu clasped her hands together as melodic hymns sprung out of her body.
Anyone who would hear these hymns will be surely dazed, as the hymns were something that could reach their souls!
These are the current insights that Fang Yu had on the Concept of Duality, and she is now infusing it on her Duality Domain!
"I must get out of her range!"
With his observation and sharp eyes, Beleth noticed that only the area 5 meters around Fang Yu were affected by the hymns that came out of her.
This meant that as long as Beleth went out of that range, it will be his win!
"!!!!!!!!!"
But before he could even make a move, he felt his body freezing as Fang Yu's hymns inside her domain changed, turning into a chilly declaration.
"Hear ye, my subjects. Any concept of duality that my enemy uses inside my domain shall be nullified by me! As long as this domain exists, none of my opponents can use any power related to duality!"
"???" After hearing this, Beleth was stumped as he does not know how that statement of Fang Yu could affect him.
He already realized that answer to that just a beat later.
After declaring these words, Fang Yu's body disappeared as she reappeared in front of Beleth.
"Another teleport huh. But looking at your pale expression, I guess that will be your last teleportation then." Beleth thought as he saw Fang Yu's currently weakened body. "Since you used your strongest attack to me, which did not affect me at all, let me show you my strongest attack too!"
"Golden!"
With the combination of his Golden Martial Aura and his powerful Martial Abilities, Beleth can assume the form of the 'Golden Warrior'!
At this state, all the Golden Energy will be assimilated on his body, turning every part of him golden.
With this, all of Beleth's attacks will have the combination of the brutality of a slugger and the sharpness of a swordsman.
This was the peak of Beleth's martial art power!
In fact, there was nobody who saw Beleth's Golden Warrior Form that were able to leave alive. All of them succumbed at his greatest form!
And now, Fang Yu had the honor to experience this power too!
"Eh?" But Beleth felt nothing happening after he activated his form.
His eyes widened in panic as he realized what was wrong.
He inspected his body, and what he found was shocking.
His Golden Martial Aura was nowhere to be found!
As he was still reeling from this, Beleth also realized one thing.
He also could not remember how to use his martial arts or his martial abilities!
The whole situation looked like there was something blocking him from using his abilities!
"Just like what I said earlier. No enemies of mine can use anything related to Duality inside my Duality Domain." Fang Yu thought as she stared at Beleth with pity.
"It's game over for you now."
"!!!!!!!!!!!"
This was the power that Fang Yu decided to grant to her Domain, which she called Void Duality!
This power allows Fang Yu to strip her opponents of their abilities, as long as these abilities were related to duality.
This means an opponent using ice-fire or life-death abilities inside Fang Yu's Duality Domain will have these abilities suppressed!
This suppression will last as long as the enemy was inside Fang Yu's Duality Domain. Once the domain was gone, the enemy will regain all their suppressed abilities.
As for Beleth, he was by far the unluckiest out of any Fang Yu's opponent. It was because his entire power under the concept of duality!
His close combat abilities and heavy strikes were in a dual partnership with his golden martial aura's long range and piercing attacks.
All these powers of his were following the concept of duality, so they were all suppressed by Fang Yu's Duality Domain!
And since these powers are all the abilities that Beleth had, he was essentially powerless and defenseless right now!
Fang Yu saying that it was game over for Beleth seemed to be the truest thing that she stated in her life.
"First Cosmic Ability, Fall of the Starlight!"
While Beleth was extremely panicking, Fang Yu just looked calm as her body glowed silver from her first cosmic ability.
Heat then began to roil out of her body as she pointed her fingers to Beleth.
"Third Cosmic Ability...."
Beleth felt his body beginning to distort as Fang Yu finished her words.
"Star of Death."
