The Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd ignored all forms of defense.
Holding the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd, the Sovereign of the Abyss bypassed Su Wen's small domain entirely, tearing through space to attack Su Wen directly.
Su Wen expanded his domain, unfolding his Law-Banning Domain, and golden light flooded the entire small world.
His Law-Banning Domain was derived from his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ning Rongrong.
Leveraging a slight opportunity within the star attribute, coupled with the fact that Ning Rongrong had been entered by him too many times and molded into his shape, the compatibility between the two sides was extremely high.
They had actually achieved a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Although this high compatibility was the result of Su Wen's late-stage modification, it didn't mean the Martial Soul Fusion Skill wasn't highly beneficial to him.
On the contrary, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill merged Su Wen's Heavenly Book with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, which possessed near-rule-like properties, giving birth to this Law-Banning Domain that struck directly at the core of essence.
Law-Banning: banning and suppressing all laws.
In the past, Su Wen needed a second attempt to enforce a ban.
Within the Law-Banning Domain, the same soul skill could not be cast a second time.
However, at this moment--or strictly speaking, as his cultivation progressed and his insights deepened to the level of the fundamental laws of the universe--the Law-Banning Domain had long been perfected.
The so-called inability to cast a soul skill a second time had long evolved into a weakening effect even on the first attempt.
Depending on the situation, the degree to which Su Wen could weaken a first-time soul skill varied.
An ordinary Ultimate Douluo inside Su Wen's Law-Banning Domain right now wouldn't even be able to release a soul skill.
However, if it were a Second-Class God from the Douluo Continent unleashing a divine skill, its power would still be weakened by a full fifty percent out of nowhere by Su Wen's Law-Banning Domain.
As for a First-Class God, it might only be weakened by ten or twenty percent.
Of course, even on a second attempt, it was impossible to completely banish it all; it could perhaps only weaken a First-Class God's divine skill by thirty to forty percent.
This was already the absolute limit.
At the level of a God, divine skills already contained profound insights, inherently twisting the fundamental laws of the universe. Even if Su Wen returned things to their origin and unraveled the twisted universal laws of the opponent, he could not fully restore them to their normal path.
Of course, that was the pure Law-Banning Domain.
Right now, Su Wen had stacked the Law-Banning Domain with his small domain!
I am the world, and the world is me.
This piece of heaven and earth was entirely under Su Wen's control, and the power of the Law-Banning Domain doubled.
Even with a super divine tool like the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd, its defense-ignoring trait was weakened to a certain extent.
At the very least, it did not completely pierce through space to arrive right before Su Wen, but instead landed in the space in front of him, giving Su Wen time to respond.
Utilizing the profound insights of time and space, Su Wen vanished instantly.
Just a hair's breadth of a difference was enough to give Su Wen the chance to escape.
The Sovereign of the Abyss was startled.
He had barely ever used the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd, so he wasn't certain if there was a possibility of the abyss trait being bypassed.
However, this was a super divine tool.
The traits of a super divine tool were nearly absolute.
There was no such thing as breaking them.
You could dodge, you could control my main body, but you could not bypass the abyss trait through defense.
It might be possible to dodge my attack, but twisting the abyss trait through special means so that the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd failed to hit the main body even after its trait was activated was truly somewhat bizarre.
Extremely bizarre!
No matter how advanced the profound insights were, it shouldn't be able to achieve this step!
While the Sovereign of the Abyss was shaken, Su Wen's figure reappeared.
He was incredibly bold.
Instead of fleeing, he actually used the time-space profound insights to teleport directly to the edge of the Abyss.
The small domain transformed into a giant millstone, crashing fiercely into the Abyss.
The millstone turned, seemingly grinding down everything, obliterating a portion of the Abyss's power.
In the 105th layer of the Abyss, heaven and earth shattered, as if some vital origin was being swallowed up.
The Sovereign of the Abyss's expression changed drastically. Filled with rage, he slashed down at Su Wen once more with the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd.
This time, his divine power followed the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd, tearing through space.
It was the exact same scene.
The Sovereign of the Abyss's mind shook as he discovered that his Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd, after piercing through space, still only appeared some distance away from Su Wen.
What kind of ability was this?
Could it really bypass the trait of a super divine tool?
Suspicion and uncertainty arose in the heart of the Sovereign of the Abyss, but he did not hold back in battle any longer. Although the grand halberd only landed some distance in front of Su Wen, his divine power had already erupted along the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd.
Boom!
The power of destruction swept in all directions.
Inside the small domain that Su Wen had just opened up, everything was a chaotic mess.
The three small worlds were even blown apart by this force, on the verge of destruction.
Under the time-space profound insights, Su Wen and his small domain were instantly transported away by the power of time and space, fleeing in the direction of the Douluo Planet.
Inside the damaged small domain, an intent of great destruction emerged, and a large amount of faith power gathered.
The moment the small domain was opened, Su Wen had intercepted the faith of creation from this instance, using it now to condense a divine position belonging to creation.
This time was different from the last. Last time, it was condensed from Great Creation, but this time he did not use the faith intercepted after creation to condense a Creation God divine position.
The strike from the Sovereign of the Abyss had almost caused the interior of the small domain to collapse.
Su Wen had left himself completely undefended just now, which led to such severe damage.
However, this extreme level of destruction also allowed him to successfully use Great Destruction to condense the prototype of the divine position for the destructive side of the Creation God.
Great Destruction combined with the intercepted faith power from the opening of the small domain, converting into Great Creation.
The Heaven-Destroying Divine Mill turned, and all five pieces of the Heaven-Earth Suit operated under overload.
The previously swallowed energy of the Abyss was rapidly obliterated and absorbed, converting into energy for the small domain.
Great Destruction turned into Great Creation.
Two sides of the same coin, condensing simultaneously.
The prototype of the Creation God divine position condensed once more.
This time, it was stronger.
It was the creation faith from when the small domain--a higher primary plane than the three small worlds--was opened, and it also held Su Wen's deeper insights, while simultaneously condensing both sides of the Creation God.
The prototype of the Creation God divine position condensed this time already possessed the potential of a First-Class God.
Just potential.
If the prototype was perfected and developed normally, it would only be a Second-Class God.
To reach a First-Class God, Su Wen either had to elevate the energy level of his small domain to match a true plane, using the power of the small domain to bolster the divine position and help it break through the bottleneck to reach the level of a First-Class God divine position.
Or, he had to continue opening up small worlds within the small domain, absorbing a massive amount of faith power to perfect the prototype of the divine position, ultimately condensing a First-Class Creation God divine position.
Under these various conditions, the Creation God could only achieve a First-Class God.
From this, one could see how powerful a First-Class God was.
And from this, one could also see how difficult it was to achieve the status of a God King.
Furthermore, the premise for all of this was that the divine position had to have a vessel.
Powerful experts in the universe who condensed the prototype of a divine position did exist, but without the support of a Divine Realm, a prototype would ultimately remain a prototype. The moment they truly tried to transform it into a divine position, they could only attempt to open up a new Divine Realm. Failing to open it up meant death.
"God King..."
Su Wen estimated that if he wanted to elevate his Creation God divine position to the God King level, he would probably have to open up a Divine Realm of his own.
The faith required to open up a Divine Realm was enough to create a Creation God.
In the current Douluo Continent, Su Wen didn't know how the original faith was distributed, but both Destruction and Life were authorities bred by the origin of the Divine Realm, eventually achieving the status of God Kings.
This was because the Douluo Divine Realm itself was powerful, breeding powerful divine positions.
If Su Wen wanted to achieve more God King divine positions, then the Divine Realm he opened up could not be too weak either.
"Divine Realm..."
Before opening up a Divine Realm, he probably had to thoroughly research how to break a plane through to the Divine Level.
One must know that between an ordinary plane and a Divine Realm, there was still a Divine-level plane.
Moreover, the span of a Divine-level plane was vast; it could be a small Divine-level planetary domain, or it could be a massive Divine-level plane spanning multiple galaxies.
The transition from Great Destruction to Great Creation, existing simultaneously as two parts of one entity, stabilized Su Wen's small domain, and the three small worlds were also rapidly recovering.
In their semi-destroyed state, these three small worlds swallowed a large amount of energy from the Abyss, growing rapidly.
Breaking through their previous shackles, their rate of growth was also incredibly exaggerated, becoming more than twice as strong in just this brief moment.
That tiny single layer of the Abyss could already compare to the entire energy of some weaker life planets.
If not for the conversion between the two sides of the Creation God, Su Wen wouldn't have been able to digest it all at once.
Behind him, the Sovereign of the Abyss slashed out with the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd once more. However, Su Wen no longer gave him the chance. Even when hit inside the small domain, with the Sovereign of the Abyss's power erupting inside, he defended strictly to stabilize the entire small domain, and the three small worlds were not damaged like before.
Furthermore, the Sovereign of the Abyss's power was locked down by his small domain, sealed in cooperation with the Law-Banning Domain, and completely obliterated by the Heaven-Destroying Divine Mill, integrating into the small domain.
The Sovereign of the Abyss was exasperated.
A layer of the Abyss had been destroyed, and his power had been swallowed by that fellow Su Wen.
"There must be something strange about that small domain!"
He wouldn't think there was an issue with Su Wen's golden domain; he speculated that for Su Wen to achieve all this, the small domain played an indispensable role.
"Even with me controlling the Abyss, I can't achieve this step. His small domain must have something special about it!"
"Right, his small domain was completely opened up independently and is entirely under his control!"
"No, it shouldn't just be this point. A complete plane, no matter what, shouldn't be able to affect the traits of a super divine tool."
The traits of a super divine tool were absolute.
What was a super divine tool?
Profound insights completely twisted the fundamental laws of the universe, solidified within the super divine tool.
This was the trait of a super divine tool.
Furthermore, the traits of a super divine tool were not added later on, but were born naturally as it grew, derived entirely by the super divine tool itself, an ability sufficient to completely twist the fundamental laws of the universe.
Ignoring all defenses--this was the abyss trait of the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd.
Yet, it was partially 'corrected' by Su Wen?
"How did he do it?"
Although he felt it shouldn't be the ability of the small domain, the Sovereign of the Abyss was certain it was related to it.
Having already coveted the small domain earlier, he was even more greedy for it now.
However, Su Wen was fleeing toward the territory of the Douluo Divine Realm.
"This fellow condensed the prototype of a divine position only to burn it. He's probably not someone from the Divine Realm, otherwise he would absolutely never dare to be so insane."
Burning a divine position with dual traits repeatedly was simply foolish.
The Sovereign of the Abyss had not seen the newly re-condensed prototype of Su Wen's Creation God divine position, otherwise he would have been driven half to death with anger.
It had completely advanced by a level, and this advancement was all achieved thanks to him.
"Using the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd just now was already a very risky move. I cannot lose my mind any further," the Sovereign of the Abyss advised himself, unable to continue the chase.
Su Wen's time-space profound insights were too exaggerated. Even the Sovereign of the Abyss could not lock down space, and could only watch as Su Wen fled.
If he continued to pursue, he would likely be discovered by the Douluo Divine Realm.
But if he didn't pursue, the existence of the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd might be exposed, and there would be no chance to seize that small domain.
Especially since that madman had torn off a piece of flesh from the Abyss at the last moment.
"Would such a madman really let things slide?"
The rational Sovereign of the Abyss felt an immense headache when considering the many irrational actions Su Wen had displayed just now.
This fellow wouldn't boldly come back to keep biting chunks off the Abyss after escaping, would he?
Thinking of this, an inexplicable rage flared within the Sovereign of the Abyss.
It had always been the Abyss swallowing others; since when could someone else tear flesh from the Abyss?
"Chase!"
Chase while hiding within the Abyss.
Even if the Douluo Divine Realm finds out, as long as I flee immediately, they can't do anything to me.
As for the news of the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd being exposed, he could no longer care less about it.
"With Mother backing me up, as long as I act more carefully, the impact won't be large. Instead, with me wielding the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd, my strength is greater, and I can take the opportunity to claim more benefits."
As for the Holy Color Mother seizing the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd.
The Sovereign of the Abyss felt the probability was low.
The Holy Color Mother already had a super divine tool, her compatibility with the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd wasn't high, and the Heavenly Sacred Abyss Halberd was condensed by the Abyss, so it could only exert its greatest effect in the hands of him, the Master of the Abyss.
The rational Sovereign of the Abyss became irrational after all.
He controlled the Abyss to rapidly pursue Su Wen in the direction of the Douluo Divine Realm.
Su Wen utilized his time-space profound insights more and more skillfully, seemingly showing signs of growth.
The Sovereign of the Abyss chased with increasing anxiety, unknowingly entering the territory of the Douluo Divine Realm.
Su Wen was still moving forward, but the Sovereign of the Abyss also gradually realized the problem.
Having entered the range of the Douluo Divine Realm, he could no longer hunt unscrupulously.
"What exactly does this madman want to do?"
The Sovereign of the Abyss stopped his pursuit, controlling the Abyss to retreat outside the Douluo territory.
He stopped chasing.
Today, he would just treat it as being bitten by a dog.
They had entered the Douluo territory, yet this fellow was still running; he wouldn't catch up anyway.
At least they were right at the border, so they could still retreat.
While controlling the Abyss to withdraw, the Sovereign of the Abyss noticed that Su Wen in the distance had stopped his steps.
He even turned around, and as the Sovereign of the Abyss retreated, he retreated as well, maintaining a relatively safe distance from the Abyss at all times.
Looking at the Abyss which had stepped back outside the border of the Douluo territory, Su Wen showed no look of regret on his face.
Because he had already completed his task.
"The fifth trial of the Nine Divine Trials is complete. Reward: An opportunity to comprehend the Thirteen Golden Halberd Strikes."
