Chapter 690 - 380: Plundering a New Skill (2)

However, this type of rule-based Domain Skill, especially one with such significant restrictions, usually treats everyone within the domain equally. As the domain’s master, the male Dou Race member himself had no special privileges and was also subject to its limitations.

But most members of the Dou Race specialized in close-quarters combat, possessing only average talent in other areas.

Su Ze tried to use his Gravity Domain skill to break through the opponent’s Forbidden Demon Domain, but it shattered the instant he activated it.

This meant the opponent’s Domain Skill level completely crushed his Gravity Domain.

It seemed to be a Tier 8 Domain Skill.

’Let’s see if the Dou Race is truly as good at close combat as the rumors claim!’

Since he couldn’t break the opponent’s Domain Skill, Su Ze gave up on the idea. He decided to meet him head-on and test his strength.

Su Ze’s own close-combat abilities were formidable. His physique was powerful, augmented by numerous skills. Even now, the enhancement from his Bloodthirsty skill was still active. And while the special attack effect of Ant Power was nullified, its strength boost remained.

In his liquid state, Su Ze condensed a fist the size of a small mountain and smashed it down toward the male Dou Race member.

The male Dou Race member likewise raised both his fists to meet the blow.

The two collided, and the ground shattered. Su Ze’s blow drove the male Dou Race member into the earth like a nail.

In the contest of strength, it seemed Su Ze had the upper hand.

Su Ze didn’t stop, throwing another punch to drive his opponent deeper into the ground. But just then, the male Dou Race member summoned a strange strength from an unknown source. He surged upward, breaking through the blockade of Su Ze’s liquid fist.

’Is that a temporary strength boost from another skill, or does this Forbidden Demon Domain have other effects?’

Unsure, Su Ze threw another punch at his opponent—nothing fancy, just pure, overwhelming power.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt his own strength suppressed and weakened for an instant.

The reduction wasn’t significant, but it was definitely there.

Meanwhile, the male Dou Race member’s strength seemed to surge in that same instant, giving him a burst of power. He shattered Su Ze’s liquid fist with a single punch. The immense shockwave caused Su Ze’s entire body to break into pieces, but thankfully, he was in his liquid form and quickly reformed.

’This Forbidden Demon Domain is more than it seems...’ Su Ze was now finally certain that, at the very least, it also had the effect of weakening an enemy’s strength.

After a series of exchanges, the fight became a back-and-forth. The male Dou Race member was finally forced to admit that Su Ze’s close-combat skills were just as formidable.

Using the Forbidden Demon Domain, he had only managed to turn his losing position into a stalemate. Inside the domain, he too was unable to use other skills, limited to only punches and kicks.

But he also discovered that Su Ze’s liquid form was immune to most physical damage. In this state, physical attacks could hardly cause any substantial harm to Su Ze.

Within this domain, Su Ze was effectively unbeatable as well.

This was incredibly frustrating for him. If they kept fighting like this, it would become a battle of attrition to see who would collapse from exhaustion first.

If he became unable to maintain the Forbidden Demon Domain first, he would be at a disadvantage again, perhaps even worse off than at the start.

If Su Ze was the first to be unable to maintain his liquid form, then the situation might develop in his favor.

But he had no idea how long Su Ze could maintain this liquid form.

Now, the male Dou Race member could only pin his hopes on his companion finishing off Mr. Ya quickly and coming to help him break the stalemate with Su Ze.

Su Ze hadn’t expected a stalemate either. He had thought that even if he couldn’t quickly kill the Dou Race Moon God one-on-one, he should at least have been able to crush and severely injure him.

But instead, he had been pinned down by the male Dou Race member’s Forbidden Demon Domain, unable to unleash the full power of his skills.

He decided to temporarily give up on the male Dou Race member and go help Mr. Ya deal with the female one.

At this moment, the female Dou Race member was playing a game of cat and mouse with Mr. Ya. Mr. Ya was exceptionally agile, with an endless supply of life-saving techniques. The female Dou Race member, a Moon God, had been unable to catch Mr. Ya, a mere Star God.

This was driving her absolutely mad.

WHOOSH! The female Dou Race member’s speed suddenly surged. It seemed she used some kind of skill that burned her vitality for a burst of speed. She transformed into a streak of light and instantly caught up to Mr. Ya.

Seeing this, Su Ze wasn’t worried. Mr. Ya hadn’t used his "Void" skill yet, which meant he was far from being pushed into a desperate situation.

The female Dou Race member’s strong hands instantly clamped onto Mr. Ya. She pulled him into an embrace against her broad chest, then squeezed with her well-developed pectoral muscles, crushing him into a pulp like a walnut.

However, Mr. Ya’s figure suddenly reappeared several thousand meters away. The one the female Dou Race member had crushed with her powerful chest was just a husk he had left behind using Golden Cicada Shell.

This was the effect of Mr. Ya’s upgraded Tail Cutting for Survival skill. It could now allow him to abandon his entire body to escape and instantly form a new one in peak condition.

Seeing Mr. Ya running toward him, Su Ze also left the range of the Forbidden Demon Domain to meet up with him.

The male Dou Race member pursued relentlessly, following behind Su Ze. He and the female Dou Race member formed a pincer attack, surrounding Su Ze and Mr. Ya.

Two-on-two. Two Moon Gods versus two Star Gods. On the surface, the outcome seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

And yet, the pair of Dou Race Moon Gods showed no signs of ease on their faces. Instead, their expressions were grim.

The brief exchange just now had made them understand that these two were no ordinary Star Gods. They were definitely not opponents they could afford to underestimate.
