Chapter 692: Chapter 400: Combat Will Armament (4K)_2
Tens of identical Sophias appeared around the Bingqing Lotus Platform, with each black lotus blossoming.
They were both her and not her.
In the past, Sophia becoming a Black Crow was merely a sleight of hand, an Illusion Technique. Now, her Dark Crow Bloodline seemed to have further sublimated, already capable of freely switching between Black Crow and human form.
'Incarnation of the Nether Raven (Talent)'
'Description: The manifestation of a Corpse God Crow Bloodline that has reached a certain level of purity. Sophia can freely transform into a Nether Raven, and her consciousness can travel freely among nearby Nether Ravens. Sophia can also create Nether Raven servants with considerable combat power.'
This talent further enhanced Sophia's survival ability.
Combined with the Heroic Exclusive Weapon 'Crown of the Night', her survival ability had reached a divine level.
Moreover, the appearance of the talent of Incarnation of the Nether Raven meant that the Black Crows Sophia created were no longer mere cannon fodder with only the ability to hide.
The Black Crows stood up.
With the Epic Skill like Raven Storm, Sophia's personal combat power almost made it into the top ten in the Tianyuan Territory.
Another two days passed.
Uta, who had been replaced, returned to Tianyuan City.
He sparred with a few strong individuals who had stayed in the city to adjust himself to his peak form, and then he walked into the Land of Evolution in the Dragon Mound Secret Realm.
After a while, a brilliant light soared to the sky, and the Domain Interferer buzzed into operation.
Mu Yuan heard a prompt by his ear.
'Prompt: Your troop 'Uta' has been promoted to an Epic Three Stars level life form, and has awakened the Epic Skill 'Combat Will Armament'.'
----
'Combat Will Armament'
'Description: Manifests the intangible combat will into a special armor that covers one's body. The Combat Will Armament can be used for both offense and defense, and its strength and coverage area depend on the user's magnitude of combat will.'
This skill had some similarities with Lu Liu's 'Sword of Will' but was more mystical.
The gap between the upper and lower limits of the Combat Will Armament was immense.
'Sword of Will' is a talent that, at the very least, can greatly enhance an individual's willpower and concentration.
Combat Will Armament is different.
Its mere existence cannot affect the user's combat will but is greatly influenced by it.
Those with weak combat will cannot unleash much power of this Epic Skill.
"Additionally, this combat will refers to the user's 'real-time combat will'. Whether it's strong or weak, it can fluctuate significantly with time and environment,"
Mu Yuan imported Uta's template and tried using the skill.
With the help of an Epic Skill, he would normally take a discount and could only exert 80%×80% of its effect.
But even with over sixty percent of the original skill's power, it wasn't too weak.
That's how it should have been.
But as a result...
Lord Shepherd using the Combat Will Armament, after struggling for a while, finally managed to condense a thin set of black gauntlets over his fists.
That was rather disappointing.
Was the Combat Will Armament really that bad?
He switched to Lord's Vision and looked towards Uta in the Dragon Mound Fertile Land Secret Realm, his body covered with a swath of pitch-black armor.
Lord Shepherd fell silent.
The Combat Will Armament wasn't bad.
Neither was Mr. Mu.
He had just woken up. Who could muster a strong will to fight right after waking up, and who maintained a strong will to fight at all times!
But there was someone who actually could.
Uta seemed to be able to do it indeed.
This man, who deeply loved combat and always wanted to spar and fight with the strong, indeed had combat will on his mind all the time.
Lord Shepherd couldn't compare. After all, he was a lord, responsible for many things.
"It's a pity, Uta still couldn't create a Domain; he missed the chance offered by the evolutionary echoes. To step into the Legendary Realm in the future… it might... take a rather long time,"
Mu Yuan sighed.
He truly hoped Uta could ascend to legendary status soon.
Uta's demonstrated combat power was almost unparalleled.
If everyone were at the Four-order Peak and engaged in a head-on duel, Mu Yuan believed that Uta could even defeat Dead Bone and Duo Lai.
He had strength and speed far beyond his peers.
He had an unreasonably explosive force.
But aside from exceptional combat prowess, Uta was pretty much inadequate everywhere else; his learning ability and comprehension weren't even as good as Duo Lai's. No, that might be an insult to Duo Lai.
Duo Lai wasn't stupid, just a bit naive and singularly foolish.
Whereas Uta...

He wasn't especially adept at learning, and all the moves he mastered were direct and brutally simple.
Leave it to fate.
The academic struggler Mu Yuan couldn't save him.
Uta, however, was still cheerfully nonchalant with not a trace of discouragement from failing to comprehend a Domain. To him, setbacks were the norm.
After familiarizing himself with the Combat Will Armament within his territory for a while, Mu Yuan couldn't find a suitable sparring partner—Isloa wouldn't fight him, General Lu Liu was very busy, Lord Shepherd couldn't be fought, and what was left of Dead Bone and Duo Lai were not around.
Moreover, no one could withstand even three of his punches.
He then took on a mission and headed south.
...
Half a day later, at the most southern end of the Ten Directions Island Domain, lay the ceaseless expanse of the Frenzied Area.
After several days of exploration and investigation, the Exploratory Team had already locked down a dozen or so potential locations of passages.
Of course, the chances were slim, and they needed to rule each one out.
Rakshasa had already arrived here and was contemplating.
After all, he was only a Peak Fourth-order, dodging the energy waves was already his limit, and sprinting forward was the extreme.
To rampage in such an area? Even an ordinary Legendary Realm probably couldn't manage that.
"Let me give it a try,"
Uta spoke, "I don't understand exploration, but these energy waves in front of us are the obstacles, right?"
Rakshasa nodded, "That's right, without the threat of the waves, we would clear the distant areas in no time."
"If that's the case..."
Uta took a deep breath.
Crack~ Crack~ Crack~
The Physical Shackles broke off one by one as he entered 'Physical Shackles·Release·First Stage'.
At the same time, his body was covered in a Combat Will Armament that was black as ink and solid as refined gold.
He strode into the energy tide.
The energy waves capable of inflicting vicious wounds on Rakshasa only left faint scratches on the dark Combat Will Armament.
Uta vanished into them.
Two seconds later.
"Boom—"
Like a thunderbolt from the blue, the roaring sound drowned out all other noise from the colliding energy tides.
Energy waves hundreds of meters high burst asunder.
Rakshasa was stunned, quickly taking the time to coordinate with Uta. He transformed into a wisp of smoke, circling several kilometers ahead in the blink of an eye, and then, before the energy waves could close in again, returned to his original place.
This was much faster than his own investigation, although it was a bit taxing for Uta.
Uta didn't mind and gave a thumbs up from afar.
Continue.
On the eastern side of the Ten Directions Island Domain, two more exploratory teams were investigating the situation.
In the area not yet canvassed by the exploratory teams, ocean currents surged, and one after another fierce waterspout rose from the sea, covering the entire area.
Despite these ferocious waterspouts, a small shuttle-shaped vessel managed to shakily fly out.
Inside the vessel, several explorers looked up at the increasingly clear sky, their expressions exultant and exhilarated.
"We made it! We've entered a whole new Domain!"
"We are the discoverers of a new Domain!"
The shuttle-shaped vessel rose high, overlooking the distant majestic landscape.
By this time, the explorers could confirm that this place was a domain rich... or at least definitely not barren.
And, there were no obvious signs of civilization.
It's very likely that this was an entirely uncharted realm.
Inside the vessel, the explorers raised their champagne glasses.
Suddenly,
"Boom—"
A column of energy erupted from the ground.
A creature with the power of the Legendary Realm, holding a serpent-shaped dagger and with vertical pupils, stared intensely at them, its pupils showing the thrill of spotting prey.
Several hours later.
The exploratory team from the outside world, having shaken off the legendary monster that attacked them, returned to their Great Domain, safe and sound.
"Good news, we've found a Domain without any signs of civilization."
"Bad news, this Domain is likely already dominated by a Monster Overlord."
A bit earlier.
"Screech~"
A colossal cyan bird soared in the sky, gazing at the force rising from afar, clearly of the Legendary Realm.
It merged with the wind and silently flew forward.
With its sharp eyes, it captured the distant scene.
Vision Sharing, activate!
"Jun has sent you a new shared vision, do you accept?"
The image unfolded before Mu Yuan's eyes.
He could vaguely make out a shaky vessel in flight, and outside the vessel, two figures confronting and clashing.
