Chapter 1487: 1487 **Chapter 1487: Characteristics of the Four Star Domains, Competition Rules** A few minutes later, the match began. Lin Moyu watched as Shui Hongbo and Feng Fu went all out, engaging in a fierce battle. The laws of cold water and solid ice are both water-based laws, known for their defensive properties. Both fighters had far superior defensive capabilities compared to their offensive power, indicating that the battle would last a long time. Someone from the White Tiger Star Domain complained, "The Black Tortoise Star Domain’s matches are the most boring; they always take half a day." "Exactly, they’re not as exciting as the Azure Dragon Star Domain or the White Tiger Star Domain." "Even the Vermilion Bird Star Domain is better than the Black Tortoise Star Domain." "If we’re talking about excitement, the Black Tortoise Star Domain is undoubtedly the worst." This was a fact, and even those from the Black Tortoise Star Domain couldn’t refute it. Someone grumbled, "That’s just our style, deal with it." Lin Moyu lost interest after watching for a while. As Lin Mohan had said, it was like child’s play. If he were to participate, he could end it instantly. In the central square, matches from various star domains were projected daily. This allowed seed contestants to observe the strong fighters from each star domain, a benefit for the seed contestants. However, the strongest seed contestants from each star domain were already gathered here. Most of those who made it through the preliminaries were just there to fill the numbers. After reaching level five permissions, Lin Moyu had already reviewed the basic information of each star domain. Among the four major star domains, the Azure Dragon Star Domain was the strongest. Cultivators from the Azure Dragon Star Domain were the best in offensive capabilities among the four star domains, and their defense was second only to the Black Tortoise Star Domain, making their overall combat power the best. It is said that the Azure Dragon Star Domain once had primordial dragon blood, giving its cultivators a trace of dragon bloodline. This trace of dragon bloodline provided a special boost, making them inherently stronger and highly enviable. The Black Tortoise Star Domain ranked first in defense among the four star domains but had relatively weak offensive power. Water-based laws were the most prominent in the Black Tortoise Star Domain. Over time, many cultivators in the Black Tortoise Star Domain had comprehended water-based laws, followed by earth and stone laws. These laws shared a common characteristic: extremely strong defense. Besides being the best in defense, the Black Tortoise Star Domain had another special ability. They pioneered the method of water refining, using water to refine artifacts and counter the explosiveness of fire, creating a large number of war artifacts and puppets for the human race. For example, replicas of the War God Fortress and various large warships mostly came from the Black Tortoise Star Domain. Additionally, the Black Tortoise Star Domain had a unique type of cultivator known as summoners, rarely seen in other star domains. It is said that the summoner’s heritage is ancient, even older than ancient times, and became part of the Black Tortoise Star Domain’s bloodline through a fortunate encounter. The summoners of the Black Tortoise Star Domain were unique, piquing Lin Moyu’s interest. Unfortunately, the records were not detailed enough to provide a full picture. Lin Moyu planned to take advantage of the Four Star Domain Competition to observe closely. Cultivators from the White Tiger Star Domain favored using swords, and various laws could be applied to their swords, evolving and transforming. Their offensive capabilities were slightly inferior to the Azure Dragon Star Domain, and their defense was slightly inferior to the Black Tortoise Star Domain. The White Tiger Star Domain also had a unique feature: the power of belief originated from there. After years of development, it had become one of the human race’s fundamental forces. Through the power of belief, cultivators in the White Tiger Star Domain could train quickly and build a solid foundation. The power of belief not only accelerated training and comprehension of laws but also had more mysterious uses. However, only a few people could use this ability, as it had very high requirements. Lin Moyu had asked Lin Mohan, who possessed strong belief power and was very famous in the White Tiger Star Domain, with countless fans. Lin Mohan told him that the mysterious uses of belief power varied from person to person and could only be awakened at the God Sovereign level. The stronger the accumulated belief power before reaching the God Sovereign level, the stronger the awakened ability. This was why Sword Orchid God Sovereign had been promoting her, to help her accumulate belief power. Lastly, the Vermilion Bird Star Domain was known for being average in everything. They were not particularly outstanding in any area but had a bit of everything. Unfortunately, this resulted in their overall strength being weak, often ranking last. After reviewing the information, Lin Moyu felt that the cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Star Domain were the most orthodox among the human race. Their bloodline was the purest, inherited from the ancient human race, without any changes. The ancient human race, as one of the four original races, had a bloodline no less than that of the dragon race. However, due to the long passage of time, the bloodline had become too thin and difficult to discover. But once discovered, their combat power would be extraordinary. Xiao Zhantian was the best example, hailing from the Vermilion Bird Star Domain. As the information about the four star domains flashed through his mind, the match had already been going on for a while. The two contestants had already used their artifacts, and surprisingly, both had similar artifacts: a large sword and a large shield. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 They fought back and forth, evenly matched. Their cultivation levels were equal, and their strengths were similar, making it hard to determine a winner. The audience was already losing interest, with some even yawning. To these seed contestants, such matches were really boring. Lin Moyu found it strange, "Their cultivation levels seem to be suppressed." Although he wasn’t present, just watching the projection, he keenly noticed that the power of their spells didn’t match their levels. Xu Jianxing asked, "Lin Shixiong, don’t you know the rules of the Four Star Domain Competition?" Lin Moyu shook his head, "No one told me." Xu Jianxing wasn’t surprised and explained in detail, "Actually, the rules of the Four Star Domain Competition are very simple. The first rule is that all contestants’ levels will be uniformly suppressed to the first rank of the God King Realm." "The second rule is that you cannot use artifacts with artifact spirits, nor can you use artifacts of the God King Realm or higher." "The third rule is that soul attacks are prohibited." "The fourth rule is that you cannot intentionally harm someone’s life." "The fifth rule is that when the Human Emperor Network calls for a stop, you must stop immediately." "These are the five rules; there are no other restrictions." Lin Moyu naturally understood these rules. The Four Star Domain Competition mainly tested individual strength. If everyone relied on artifacts, it would be meaningless. Those from large families would inevitably have access to powerful artifacts, turning the competition into an artifact contest. Suppressing everyone’s level to the first rank of the God King Realm was also understandable. Contestants had varying levels of strength, and without uniform levels, there would be no point in competing. One of the purposes of the Four Star Domain Competition was to select potential human geniuses. What defines potential? At the very least, one must be invincible at the same level. If you can fight across levels, so can I. It all comes down to who is stronger. As for prohibiting soul attacks and not harming lives, it was the same principle: this was a competition, not a life-and-death battle. Soul attacks were silent and difficult for even the Human Emperor Network to stop in time. Therefore, it was better to ban them altogether. The Human Emperor Network acted as the competition’s overseer. If it called for a stop and you continued to fight, it would be foolish. Disobedient individuals, no matter how talented, would not be valued. Lin Moyu thanked Xu Jianxing, "Thank you, Xu Shidi, for the explanation." Xu Jianxing waved his hand, "No need to be polite, Lin Shixiong. This is just basic information. Even if I didn’t tell you, you would soon find out." Lin Moyu smiled and suddenly looked into the distance. Thousands of kilometers away, a powerful pressure was approaching unabashedly!
