Realm of Refinement - Domain Realm
First mentioned in chapter 2720 when Gentle Snow killed Thousand Miles during the competition for the six reserve seats of the top Twelve Great Guilds’ reserve seats.
Description[]
The Extrasensory Realm!
This was a hurdle that countless geniuses and paragons in the Greater God's Domain could never cross. It was also typically known as the Beyond Domain Realm by most people.
Upon reaching the Extrasensory Realm, players would no longer be limited to simply perceiving everything around them. Instead, they could also use everything around them to their own benefit. They could even foresee the future to some extent!
“Now that he had reached the Extrasensory Realm, he had a firm grasp of all the movements around him and could also picture the flow of mana in the room with perfect clarity. Thanks to this detailed knowledge, he could predict even the trajectories of the bugs flying in the room.”
“If, before he reached the Extrasensory Realm, his perception of the world was described to be limited to two dimensions, his perception had now expanded to include a third dimension. This allowed him to do combat using three dimensions instead of just two, which drastically increased the possibilities he could accomplish in battle.” [1]
After reaching the Extrasensory Realm, players could start to use their sixth sense(6th Sense) to predict their opponent's attacks and execute counterattacks. However, this didn't mean that players would become invincible once they reached this realm.
As living creatures, humans needed time to think. No matter how quick a person's reaction speed was, their body would still need some time to make a response. Thus, when players at the Extrasensory Realm fought each other, the fight would turn into a competition of speed.
However, that would only be the case for players in the Extrasensory Realm’s first stage.
Upon reaching the Unthinking Realm, players would no longer need to rely on their brain’s thoughts to carry out actions. Instead, their bodies would move automatically, akin to moving entirely based on instincts. This, in turn, allowed players to execute actions at unbelievable speeds.
It should be known that most fifth-floor experts could only dream of achieving the Unthinking Realm. Although many peerless paragons had tried, most had failed to reach it within their lifetimes
The Extraordinary Realm/Beyond Domain Realm is the last mentioned step of the Refinement Realms, even more unfathomable and even harder to achieve than the upper stages of the Domain Realm. Existences that transcended the domain realm into the Beyond Domain Realm were the mainstays in the Five Great Super Guilds, they were true old monsters.
One of the main differences between ordinary veteran Super Guilds and the Five Great Super Guilds is the existence of individuals at the Beyond Domain Realm in the Five Great Super Guilds, even though that they are very few and extremely rare even in the top ranks of one of the Five Great Super Guilds. Individuals at this stage are probably no more than two dozens in the whole world.
They are known to have a remarkable control over their bodies. [2]
Not everyone at the Beyond Domain Realm has the same abilities : individuals at this realm can still improve, and some are stronger than others. For example, when Aqua Rose and Gentle Snow recovered their mental health they also became slightly weaker in combat standards, yet they remained at the Beyond Domain Realm. [3]
Reaching the Extrasensory Realm is one of the requirements to become a World Tower's fifth-floor expert.
