Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen-Chapter 357: Stupendous Domains!

During the final wave, Erix and Rin had to act many times to save some people and buildings as Atlantians were wreaking havoc.

Of course, they received more invasion than the rest because Erix and Rin had the highest contribution to the Atlantis Expedition Leaderboard.

But in the end, everyone survived the final wave and defended the sanctuary area. Many people were stuck with moderate to severe injuries, but it was a win as no life was lost thanks to Erix, Rin, and Aria.

Aria's army of Animated Spirit was a complete package of offensive, protective, and supportive due to its versatility, helping many.

"It looks like there's no reward at the end," Rin said before she shrugged. "Well, it doesn't matter. Let's go back to our Domain Creation."

"Yep. They can handle the aftermath," Erix glanced around once before he and Rin teleported back to their Blessed Island and sat below the Dreanox Tree.

After recovering their Spirit Force to full, the duo readied the potions for consumption during their Domain Development and closed their eyes, entering deep focus.

Once again, they arrived in the Cosmic Arcane Layer and went as deep as they could before pouring Prana into their domain, causing the layer to begin working its magic source and develop their domains.

…

Time passed as seconds turned into minutes, and minutes into hours…

After five hours, it was nearly 11 O'clock in the night.

However, their Domain development was going smoothly.

Progress: 99%.

The duo were in their last session. At the moment, Erix's Domain was a sight to behold.

Amidst the vast plains of black-grass with golden tips, there were floating islands and chaotic whirls of dark purple, portraying a world of disaster.

However, each island had exotic metals growing, making this chaotic world colorful and shiny.

The whirls were destructive and potent, containing the ultimate powers of his chaos concept.

But that was not all.

The most stupendous phenomenon in Erix's domain was the vast array of stars in the sky, containing every single one of his powers and permeating his domain with might unknown to Erix.

However, Erix could feel they were derived from his knowledge of magic and saw lots of utilizations of those stars.

Erix knew exactly what his Domain was capable of, and when he imagined the possibilities, he almost lost his focus.

This step of developing a domain only happens once in everyone's lifetime, so Erix had to remain careful.

Domain could upgrade and transform, but only at specific points in the path to power.

Meanwhile, Rin's domain was a black sea, but with blood-red forest that was half underwater and half over the water.

Her world was lively in a sense as crimson red lights containing her concept powers and elements roamed around while dark red and blue lightning clouds covered the sky, roaring with lightning every second.

Those blade-lights of various shapes and colors roamed in the sea, forest, and sky, bearing deadlines, and also a medium that Rin could utilize for her moves.

The most prominent phenomenon was the flow of time and how it was different at various spots, affecting everything, but still changing constantly. Fast, slow, frozen, various flows!

Both Erix and Rin were thrilled beyond limit as they sensed the power within their domain building up, but they remained focused.

In the end, their last session finished early, leaving them with 3k Spirit force.

[Congratulations. You have successfully developed your Domain.]

Both of them got a notification and opened their eyes before another notification greeted them.

Not just them, but everyone!

[Domain leaderboard has been opened.]

[Domain Leaderboard]

Rank 1: Rin—Twilight of Dark Crimson—SS-rank Domain.

Rank 2: Erix—Lands of Lively Doom—SS-rank Domain.

"SS-rank? So there's SSS-rank?" Rin raised her eyebrows before she felt slightly irritated.

"Tsk, I don't like it that we didn't develop SSS-rank Domain," Erix clicked his tongue and took out empty potion bottles.

Rin wryly smiled.

Since nothing could be done about it, the duo didn't waste time on it, and finished storing their 'magic sweat'.

"Let's inspect the core and see what quality perks we got," Rin grinned.

Erix nodded in response.

Both of them focused on their Domain's core in their Origin Region.

…

Rin's domain perks were exactly the same as Erix's.

"Domain Abilities. That's the main thing," Erix narrowed his eyes while a grin appeared on his face. "It's time to cook, Rin."

"World Boss is starting in an hour," Rin chuckled. "We'll create our Domain Abilities after that."

"Those people we fought in Abyss must have shit Domains," Erix said with a thoughtful expression, "At least, compared to our Domain."

"True," Rin nodded with a grin. "If they had a Domain like ours, we would have died a thousand times over."

"Lilith also said that it could take multiple days to finish, but we did it rather fast, no?" Erix confused muttered. "Not even a day."

"True, but it doesn't matter," Rin shrugged and leaned towards Erix before laying her head on his lap and stretching her limbs.

"We'll ask Lilith when she comes here," Rin grinned.

"She said they would take a month or two," Erix said. "It's been a month already, so one more month at most."

"Yep."

"After recovering, let's have some Arena Combat with our domains," Erix said as he rubbed Rin's head while smiling. "We can try to create Domain ability before the World Boss event."

"We can try, alright. Either way, we'll rack even more points in today's World Boss," Rin grinned.

"Wait, the world boss won't enter our subspace after we use Domain, right?" Erix frowned. "I don't think it will happen. The Domain only activates on a targeted will of a living being."

"Yep. Then…"

Erix and Rin exclaimed at the same time as they remembered Lilith using her domain outward.

"Let's quickly learn how to do that," Rin got up and started meditating.

"Yep," Erix nodded. "To use the power of our domain in daily World Boss events or other such events, we'll have to learn Domain Burst."

…

A domain meant two major benefits one time during combat for a limited time.

One benefit was having a boost in all their powers that lay in the domain's foundation.

The Cosmic Arcane Layer, the source of Magic in Grand Primal Cosmos, uses its own power to develop one's Domain based on the powers one inputs in one's domain core.

Erix and Rin developed an SS-rank domain—a feat exceptional enough that even Lilith was not expecting them to achieve it.

Even she had an S-rank domain in Royal-order rank, and that was generally considered peak for those in Royal-order.

During each Rank-up after that, people could have a single chance of improving their Domain, and they could have a higher quality of it with their hard work and way of life.

The sole factor that determined one's quality of Domain was how deep one could go in the Cosmic Arcane Layer.

After all, the closer they were to the source of magic, the better quality of development it would give to them.

But…Only and only one's willpower, potential, experience, and such characteristic type factors determined how far one's consciousness could go in the Cosmic Arcane Layer.

Erix and Rin got SS-rank, and they hadn't just realized how exceptional this feat was.

Meanwhile, Lilith's plan was to get her Domain to SS-rank in Empyrean-order. Her chances were not 100%, but she was fairly certain to achieve it.

In the Kalaanx Abyss, Lilith sat on a chair in a palace hall facing Lily, and Maleina.

It had only been a month, but Lilith, the Dark Queen's name was ringing far and wide in the Kalaanx Abyss.

After all, she had just finished off a top powerhouse at the peak of Empyrean-order four days ago, taking her first revenge.

When this big power was brought to dust with its master dying, a shock spread across the Abyss.

Koraka, the Gray Blood Saint, died.

It would be exaggerating to say that Empyrean-order powerhouses were invincible in the Kalaanx Abyss.

However, those who had reached Peak and were preparing for a breakthrough could be said to be nearly invincible in the Kalaanx Abyss.

They had various means to save themselves and were at the peak of power allowed in the Kalaanx Abyss.

Despite that, a peak powerhouse died, killed without a hint of doubt.

But he was just the beginning.

"Lady Lilith, you have spent the past month solidifying your powers and improving, but isn't the next target too soon?" Lily asked in concern.

"If we wait any longer, and she breakthroughs, I'll lose this chance," Lilith firmly said. "But to increase my chances, I'll take a day."

"I have already improved my Spirit Power to the next realm, so I can begin my 2nd improvement of the domain. If I can get it to SS-rank, then I won't have trouble killing her."

Lilith narrowed her eyes. "She is the strongest on my list, and I would like to finish her off first. After her death, the rest will remember me, and know that I've returned. Not as Scarlett they killed, but as Lilith, the Dark Queen!"

"They will indeed pay for it," Lily coldly nodded. "Maleina and I've gathered information on others too."

"Good. I'm going to meditate and begin my domain refining."

Maleina hesitated for a moment before saying, "But since our Domain also improves in this attempt due to our progressed power, it's not 100% certain that Domain will upgrade in rank for greater perks, right?

"That's right," Lilith smiled. "But sometimes, you just know that you are going to achieve it. I am at the point where I am certain to achieve an SS-rank domain."
