Chapter 473: Time and Space
'Curse Domain'!
After the second tier, mages can domain their specialized magic elements.
Onmyoji, after the third tier, can turn the entire space into their domain using curse power.
Logically speaking.
The two are quite similar.
But there are significant differences.
The curse domain of Onmyoji, in terms of skill mechanics, is stronger than the mage's elemental domain.
No matter how you look at it...
One unlocks after the second tier.
The other unlocks after the third tier.
The difference in strength is natural.
Besides...
The true strength of the curse domain lies in controlling the space, and all attacks within this space will always hit.
But clearly...
This fragrant world full of flowers isn't Bando Ansei's divine talent.
This is just her curse domain.
Even so, she still wanted to activate the curse domain first, which meant she wanted her divine talent to definitely hit Ling Zhan.
Interesting...
Ling Zhan, within the fragrant world, smiled immediately.
If Bando Ansei knew that as soon as she unfolded her curse domain, this man before her could forcibly kill her, she probably wouldn't even think of using her divine talent to perish together with him.
When the curse domain fully unfolded.
A trace of confidence finally returned to Bando Ansei's pale face.
'Spring Growth World'.
That's the name of her curse domain.
But...
Her divine talent is called 'Annihilation'.
One rebuilds vitality.
One destroys.
When these two forces merge, they somewhat embody the concept of Yin and Yang.
If Bando Ansei managed to reach the fourth tier.
Then rebirth and destruction would become her force of order.
However.
That was never going to happen.
When she bowed to the Demon Arrival Organization, begged for that inferior demon blood, and slaughtered her human companions...
It was destined that after meeting Ling Zhan, this man would show no mercy.
At this moment.
Bando Ansei's smile was eerie.
There was pride in her curse domain and divine talent.
But also despair due to this man's overwhelming strength.
Yet more than anything...
She was driven mad by the desire to perish together with him.
Annihilation and Rebirth.
As her hands were about to form seals.
The two powers were about to merge.
However, at that moment, she suddenly lost all her biological privileges.
Breathing, thinking, movement, heartbeat...
Everything stopped.
Even her attributes were severely reduced.
The Spring Growth World at this moment was incredibly fragile.
Without the domain master's attributes to support it, the connection between the master and domain was severed.
Ling Zhan grabbed Bando Ansei by the neck and vanished from the space.
Like a spatial shuttle.
'Time-Space Rewind'!
At the weakest moment of the curse domain.
Ling Zhan used this skill with a highly strategic mechanism.
Easily leaving the Onmyoji's most prized curse domain.
Returned to the real-world position four seconds earlier.
And he still had Bando Ansei in his grasp!
Boom!!
It was as if a roar came from somewhere.
This meant the curse domain called Spring Growth World and the Annihilation power merged and exploded, but it had no effect on the real world.
The 'Time-Space Rewind' S-grade skill originally only affected Ling Zhan himself.
But with the boost from the 'Space Domination' talent.
It forcibly pulled a target along in the rewind.
Initially...
Ling Zhan thought 'Time-Space Rewind' was merely a time-type skill.
But he was wrong.
This world still follows certain physical laws.
When it comes to time and space, they are inseparable.
Where there's space, there's time.
The combination of time and space is called 'spacetime'.
That's why it's called 'Time-Space Rewind,' not just 'Time Rewind.'
So...
After extensive training and experiments, Ling Zhan discovered that the Space Domination talent could also influence the 'Time-Space Rewind' skill!
From originally affecting only the caster.
It now affected everything within a three-meter radius around the caster.
Whether the target is inanimate or alive.
Thus, Bando Ansei was directly brought from her Spring Growth World back to the real-time node four seconds earlier.
This once again verified Ling Zhan's hypothesis about divine talents.
The priority of a divine talent's strength is only related to the four-dimensional attributes.
It has nothing to do with level or skill grade.
In other words...
When you cast an SS-grade skill to contend with an opponent's divine talent.
If the opponent's four-dimensional attributes far exceed yours, their divine talent will still affect you.
It doesn't cancel out with SS-grade skills but overrides them.
But when the caster of the divine talent has extremely low four-dimensional attributes, the divine talent can be crushed by SS-grade skills.
It can even be crushed by S-grade skills.
At least, Bando Ansei's 'Annihilation' had no effect on Ling Zhan.
As for the nature of the 'Order Force' that emerges after the fourth tier at level 100.
It's still up for research.
No wonder they say the third tier marks a massive transformation.
Generally speaking.
With the existence of divine talents, the possibility of being killed by someone of a lower level is greatly reduced.
In most cases, if your level is higher, then your four-dimensional attributes should also be higher.
As a result.
Even if the lower attribute side uses SS-grade skills, your divine talent can still crush it.
However, one battle alone can't draw the right conclusion.
Ling Zhan must explore the mysteries of divine talents to their fullest.
At present.
Ling Zhan glanced sideways and found that Bando Ansei had her neck snapped inadvertently, leaving only her original spirit body.
Even as a spirit body, it was marked with demonic patterns.
Utterly disgusting.
Without further thought.
Ling Zhan casually tossed Bando Ansei's body, and a staff appeared mid-air, casting a small fireball with soul-burning properties, completely obliterating her despairing spirit.
At this moment.
A faint sound of wind came from the east.
With his keen senses, Ling Zhan looked over, using his exceptional farsighted ability, and saw three figures in Dragon Kingdom battle attire approaching from a kilometer away.
Hmm...
These should be the members of the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad.
But why are there only three?
Without overthinking, Ling Zhan stood and waited for the three figures to approach.
Moments later.
The three figures finally appeared.
Two women and one man.
And they...
Finally noticed the slender figure standing among the countless corpses.
