Lin Fan revealed a faint smile when he saw this.
Naturally he knew what Ling Tian was thinking, so he didn't waste any time as he started charging at Ling Tian, taking advantage of the fact that he was caught off guard.
When Lin Fan moved, the barrier around him moved along with him, smashing into Ling Tian's domain.
As the barrier and the domain clashed, Ling Tian was shocked to find that he was getting slightly pushed back by the barrier.
This pulled Ling Tian out of his shock and he increased his power, increasing the pressure of his domain and pushing the barrier back.
When Lin Fan saw this, he immediately moved back again and brought the barrier away from Ling Tian's domain. It seemed that even with this barrier, he didn't have a proper way to deal with Ling Tian's domain.
As for what this barrier was, it was a pseudo domain that was formed from the various laws that the Nascent Soul Realm beasts injected into the array.
Instead of using a single powerful law to suppress the space, not allowing any other laws to exist in this space, the array followed a different principle. Instead of using the principle of suppression, the barrier created a chaotic space where no other laws could exist.
It was very simple, by taking all the various laws and jamming it into a single space, it created a space that was filled with all these chaotic laws smashing into each other. With all these different laws existing in this space, it was hard for a single law to stand out above the rest, so it was impossible for any single law to exist in this space, unless that law was much stronger than the rest or was permitted by whoever set up the array.
So while the end result was the same as a domain, it couldn't be considered a domain since the foundation was different.
That was why it was called a pseudo domain.
But with all the different laws that were gathered in it, the suppression force that came as a sum of these chaotic laws being pushed into the same space was equal to that of a domain…No, with all the power of these different laws gathered together, it might be considered even stronger since the suppression power was much greater than the sum of the laws. It increased the power of these laws by exponentially instead of just adding them together.
That was why Ling Tian had been forced back when his domain had clashed with the barrier.
But this was only temporary since this pseudo domain was very draining on the life energy supplies of the Nascent Soul Realm beasts. This was a barrier that used the laws of over a hundred Nascent Soul Realm beasts just to form a pseudo barrier and to cover all this space, a large amount of laws was necessary.
So maintaining this barrier drained the life energy of the Nascent Soul Realm beasts much faster than maintaining the domain drained the life energy of Ling Tian.
Lin Fan knew that he wouldn't be able to fight in the long run, so he needed to do something to end this quickly or he wouldn't be able to last.
Ling Tian was also cautious at this time since he now knew that the barrier could even clash with his domain. This meant that his plan to suppress Lin Fan with his domain would no longer work and he would have to find another way to restrain him.
During this silence, Lin Fan decided to go all out.
He had his Nascent Soul Realm beasts release their barrier before heading off in different directions.
Ling Tian was surprised to see the barrier suddenly disappear, but after thinking about it, he realized that this seemed reasonable.
After all, while the over a hundred Nascent Soul Realm beasts working together could generate enough power to match his domain, it was surely something that was very draining when it came to life energy usage.
It was no wonder the barrier had suddenly disappeared.
Since he couldn't use the barrier anymore, Ling Tian saw his chance and charged towards Lin Fan right away.
However, even when Lin Fan saw Ling Tian charging at him, he just stood there with a calm look on his face.
The Nascent Soul Realm Experts on the side were still stunned, but then they realized that Lin Fan was in trouble and was about to charge forth. However, before they could make a move, they felt a powerful aura falling onto them that stopped them in place.
Ling Tian naturally knew that these people would try to make a move, so he had spread his domain to cover them as well to make sure that they couldn't do a thing.
Seeing that everything was about to end, Ling Tian didn't forget to say to Lin Fan, "Why don't you just surrender now and save me the trouble. As long as you obediently come with me, I promise that I won't hurt you."
However, Lin Fan just stood there with a calm smile on his face, looking right at Ling Tian. The way he stood there, it was almost as if he was provoking Ling Tian to come at him.
How could Ling Tian possibly accept something like this?
He was a respected True Soul Realm Expert and he was being taunted at by a Child Soul Realm junior like this?
This was a large blow to his pride!
He tried to suppress the anger that he felt, but this time it was hard to suppress all his anger. So with this bit of anger, he decided that he would show less mercy with his fists. He would still hold back enough not to kill Lin Fan, but he didn't mind if he hurt Lin Fan a bit more than necessary.
So he gave a cold snort before flying even faster at Lin Fan.
As soon as he came close to Lin Fan, he spread his domain out again to cover the area, to cover Lin Fan to prevent him from doing anything.
But it was also at this time that a barrier appeared around him.
Ling Tian was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this barrier, but he didn't think much of it. He just thought that it was a last bit of resistance that Lin Fan was putting up and it wouldn't be enough to stop him.
But then he was shocked to find that this barrier didn't just cover Lin Fan, it had also surrounded him as well.
Not only did it surround him, the zone inside of the barrier was starting to put pressure on him. It was almost as if there was another domain that was smashing right into his domain.
Lin Fan revealed a smile when he saw this since this was exactly what he had been planning.
He had seen that his array had been able to push back Ling Tian's domain, so he knew that his array was stronger when it came to suppression power. However, if Ling Tian was free to dodge out of the way, it would mean that he could slowly wear him down by clashing against the barrier with his domain.
So Lin Fan had chosen to release the barrier completely to draw Ling Tian in.
Then once Ling Tian was drawn in, he would have the Nascent Soul Realm beasts scattered around him release the array again to trap Ling Tian in. Even if Ling Tian wanted to escape, with him being stuck inside of this array, it would be impossible for him to break out.
He would have to block the array with his domain and that would keep him from moving, which was exactly what Lin Fan wanted.
He knew that there was a difference in speed between the two of them, so if he wanted to use the dagger in his hand, he would have to find some way to keep Ling Tian from moving. That was the second reason why he chose to use this method of baiting Ling Tian in.
With the array suppressing Ling Tian and keeping him from moving, Lin Fan was free to use his dagger.
So without any hesitation, Lin Fan jumped out at Ling Tian.
Ling Tian realized that he was in a bad situation, but since he couldn't move, the only thing that he could do was release all his life energy to increase the power of his domain.
But it was already too late for him to do anything, even if he wanted to increase the power of his domain. He wouldn't be able to break free of the suppression of the array in time.
The only thing he could do now was strengthen his domain as much as he could to block Lin Fan's attack.
After all, the domain wasn't just used to suppress the enemy. It would suppress all the laws contained within attacks aimed at the True Soul Realm Expert, so it could be used as a shield as well.
As Ling Tian released his domain to the max and prepared to use it to block Lin Fan's dagger, there was a small badge that suddenly flew through the air. It penetrated right through the array set up by Lin Fan's pets and flew in front of Ling Tian, stopping right in the path of Lin Fan's dagger.
Lin Fan knitted his brows when he saw this, but it was already too late for him to change the directory of the dagger.
The dagger stabbed right into the badge and then there was a sudden burst of light before Lin Fan was sent flying into the ground.
