The domain, in simple terms, is a form of power usage. At the same time, when a divine-level expert establishes a domain, it also helps them absorb energy.
Zhao Hai had already realized this during his own use of the domain, but he found it difficult to convey that feeling to Xu Wanying and the others, as he did not comprehend the process of forming a domain himself. Therefore, this step had to be left for Xu Wanying and the others to figure out on their own.
Once all divine-level experts comprehend their domains, their usage of power becomes more proficient. Things that previously required ten units of effort can now be achieved with just five, and the process of absorbing energy has also quickened by about forty percent.
The pope and his companions stared blankly at Xu Wanying, completely baffled by what had just happened and how such a phenomenon had suddenly appeared.
Since the pope and his group were not divine-level experts, they did not know much about them. The divine race would naturally not divulge too much about divine-level matters to the Church of Light, as they did not believe anyone from the Ark Continent could reach divine-level. Just as Zhao Hai suspected, the reason no one had achieved divine-level or ascended to the God Realm for so many years was due to the interference of the divine race.
After their initial failure, the divine race had already begun to set up their plans to conquer the Ark Continent. They first sealed off the passage from the Ark Continent to the God Realm. This passage had existed for a long time, a natural part of the heavenly laws. If one were to consider it, the Ark Continent belonged to a lower tier dimension compared to the God Realm. The strongest experts in the Ark Continent could only be considered average in the God Realm, lacking any remarkable status.
This is precisely why the divine race was intent on dominating the Ark Continent; in their view, it was entirely normal for a higher-tier dimension to subjugate a lower-tier one, as strength determines everything.
However, the people of the Ark Continent did not want to be slaves of the divine race, so various races united to resist, inflicting a defeat on the divine race. The divine race, humiliated by a lower-tier place daring to defy them and managing to defeat them, could not let this slide. Thus, they spent thousands of years laying down their plans.
The divine race first gathered many powerful beings from the God Realm and forcefully sealed off the pathway for ascension from the Ark Continent. While it might seem like they merely blocked a road, it had significant effects on the Ark Continent. Any change in the heavenly laws could trigger a chain reaction, and after sealing that passage, no one from the Ark Continent could reach divine-level again.
Due to this, and because the divine race wanted to maintain their lofty status, they did not share much information with loyal factions like the Church of Light. As a result, the pope and his companions truly did not know much about the power of domains.
Now, as they watched Xu Wanying establish a domain, they felt an immense pressure, even though they did not understand what was happening. Thus, all three became cautious.
In contrast, Xu Wanying felt significantly better. He sensed that his energy absorption speed had increased, and his control over that power had become more adept. He also realized how to utilize the power of the domain effectively.
To Xu Wanying, the domain felt like a space that belonged solely to him. Within this space, he could control everything. He could attack externally—though it might be slightly weaker—or he could attack internally, where all his power could be exerted to its fullest extent.
With a slight closing of his eyes, Xu Wanying quickly grasped the method of using the domain. Since this domain was something he comprehended himself, he was nearly familiar with everything within it.
When Xu Wanying opened his eyes and calmly gazed at the pope and the two cardinals, he snorted coldly and waved his hand, sending a massive blood-red axe crashing toward the pope.
