However, the transformation of the Domain into an oval shape was not the end of the Delta Airflow. Mo Hui shouted, and the oval cyan light sphere formed by the Delta Airflow contracted again, finally turning into a thin, continuously flowing light cyan breeze covering Mo Hui's body surface.
"Is this… a Domain?"
Bo Saixi looked at the continuously circulating light cyan breeze on Mo Hui's body and said with some hesitation.
This was not because Bo Saixi was shocked that Mo Hui had his own Domain; as a successor of the Wind God, it was not unusual for Mo Hui to possess a Domain.
In fact, as long as Mo Hui continued to undergo the trials, he would naturally acquire the Sea God Domain. What surprised Bo Saixi was that Mo Hui could control his Domain to such an extent. Although he had not reached the extreme of compressing the Domain into his body, he had compressed it to his body surface.
The benefit of Mo Hui doing this was also obvious: it could reduce the Domain's contact with the Seagod's Light, thereby saving his spirit power to the greatest extent.
Thinking of this, Bo Saixi couldn't help but marvel at Mo Hui's genius. Originally, even if Mo Hui had a Domain, it would at most help him ascend a dozen more steps. But after all, Mo Hui was only a Spirit Emperor, and his spirit power was ultimately limited.
But now, Mo Hui's approach could reduce unnecessary consumption by ninety percent. This meant he wouldn't just be able to ascend a dozen more steps, but dozens of steps.
However, even though Bo Saixi was the High Priestess of Sea God Island, a Level 99 Limit Douluo, and possessed considerable knowledge, she ultimately underestimated Mo Hui and the Delta Airflow.
After multiple improvements by Mo Hui, the Delta Airflow could now directly withstand the strong assimilation ability of the exotic wind elements surrounding the inheritance ground and enter the Wind God's inheritance ground. Its strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Domain.
It should be noted that the layer of exotic wind elements enveloping the periphery of the Wind God's inheritance ground, as the first barrier to entering the Wind God's inheritance ground, was in no way inferior to the Seagod's Light, and was even much more dangerous than the Seagod's Light.
After all, the Seagod's Light would not harm the trial-takers, but that layer of exotic wind elements surrounding the Wind God's inheritance ground could directly annihilate and assimilate all objects and energy.
If Mo Hui had not comprehended the Delta Airflow, his body would probably have been annihilated and assimilated into pure wind elements without any resistance the moment it touched that layer of exotic wind elements, to be absorbed by that layer of exotic wind elements, thereby maintaining the operation of the inheritance ground.
It was fortunate that the Wind God's inheritance ground was at an altitude of 30,000 meters, with no other living beings. If it were on the ground, it would be the most terrifying deadly place in the world.
The Delta Airflow was created by Mo Hui, inspired by the layer of exotic wind elements surrounding the Wind God's inheritance ground. He studied it for half a year and continuously improved it by incorporating his own ideas. In a sense, it could be seen as another replicated version of the exotic wind elements.
Delta Airflow versus Seagod's Light: this was not a contest between a Domain and the Seagod's Light, but a contest between the methods of the Wind God and the Sea God in guarding their inheritance grounds.
On the eighty-eighth step, after the Delta Airflow transformed into a light cyan breeze covering Mo Hui's body, the pressure from the Seagod's Light on Mo Hui almost completely disappeared.
But at the same time, Mo Hui also felt his spirit power being consumed at an extremely fast rate.
Without any hesitation, under the protection of the Delta Airflow, Mo Hui practically took seven or eight steps at a time, quickly rushing towards his predetermined goal.
One hundred steps… one hundred twenty steps… one hundred fifty steps…
Watching Mo Hui's terrifying speed in climbing the steps, Bo Saixi was shocked internally, wondering what kind of Domain this was to have such an effect.
One hundred fifty steps… one hundred eighty steps… two hundred steps… Mo Hui was still climbing rapidly, his speed showing no signs of slowing down.
At this moment, Bo Saixi's gaze towards him had completely changed. She no longer regarded Mo Hui as a talent who had yet to mature, but as an unparalleled prodigy who had already spread his wings.
A Spirit Emperor, climbing the Seagod's Light for the first time, yet able to easily reach two hundred steps—what a terrifying concept! She herself was considered exceptionally gifted back then, but compared to the current Mo Hui, it was like a firefly next to a bright moon, incomparable.
Bo Saixi once believed Tang Chen was the most outstanding man in the entire Douluo Continent, but after meeting Mo Hui today, she realized there was always someone better. Mo Hui was even more outstanding than Tang Chen.
Soon, Mo Hui reached the two hundred twentieth step. However, just as Mo Hui was about to push through and reach the top, the steps beyond the two hundred twenty-second step caused Mo Hui's expression to subtly change.
This was because Mo Hui felt that after breaking through the two hundred twenty-second step, the consumption of his spirit power instantly accelerated by a level, and the pressure from the Seagod's Light subtly began to bypass the Delta Airflow's obstruction, reapplying some pressure onto him.
However, Mo Hui did not stop because of this. He continued to advance with large strides, though his speed was noticeably slower than before.
Below, Bo Saixi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mo Hui's speed slow down. She was truly afraid that Mo Hui would pass the trial in one go, which would mean her death would be brought forward by a year.
Immediately after, Bo Saixi's beautiful blue eyes stared intently at Mo Hui and said, "The steps beyond the two hundred twenty-second step are a threshold compared to the other steps; the pressure has increased significantly. Although his Domain is astonishing, it should be nearing its limit."
In Bo Saixi's view, no matter how strong Mo Hui was, he was ultimately just a Spirit Emperor, and the total amount of his spirit power would always be the biggest limiting factor for him.
Even if Mo Hui's Domain could withstand it, his spirit power was limited. As the pressure grew greater and Mo Hui's speed became slower and slower, the spirit power reserves of a mere Spirit Emperor would simply be insufficient to support Mo Hui reaching the three hundred sixtieth step.
The facts were just as Bo Saixi had guessed: Mo Hui couldn't go any further after reaching the three hundred thirty-third step. At this moment, the pressure of the Seagod's Light penetrating the Delta Airflow had reached the level of the ninetieth step. If Mo Hui hadn't made progress under the continuous pressure, he might have already been bounced off by the Seagod's Light's pressure.
"No, I can't keep going like this."
Mo Hui gritted his teeth. To ascend to the three hundred sixtieth step, relying solely on his own Delta Airflow was not enough. Continuing this way would only deplete his spirit power within a minute, and then he would be bounced off by the Seagod's Light.
However, although Mo Hui could no longer advance, he did not give up. If his own Delta Airflow wasn't enough, what if he added another one?
"Come out, Pidgeot!"
Then, Mo Hui summoned Pidgeot. Upon appearing, Pidgeot immediately unleashed its Delta Airflow, enveloping him.
