Chapter 226: Domain

"Asshole, get the hell out of here."

All three were covered in wounds, their clothes stained red with blood, and their eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

One Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings were forced into such a predicament.

"Tell me the entrance or the way in, and I can make you die faster."

A scarlet figure appeared behind them; it bore no Soul Rings, yet the crimson energy waves it emitted were strikingly similar to soul power fluctuations.

"How would we know…"

The moment they saw the scarlet figure, the three each unleashed their strongest soul skill.

The sole Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring on the Six-ring Soul Emperor flared, its already massive body swelling even more, like a three‑meter‑tall giant ape, swinging its angry fists at the scarlet figure.

"Since you won't tell, I'll have to act myself. I still enjoy the wailing of souls."

Crimson energy erupted, and his momentum rose step by step.

At that moment, he seemed to become the Grim Reaper's scythe, flashing through the middle of the three, and in that instant their life forces rapidly dissipated.

"How… could…"

The Six-ring Soul Emperor stared blankly at the scarlet figure; even at the moment of death, he didn't know whether the figure was a wolf‑thief‑type creature or a human Soul Master.

Step by step he approached the three bodies, a flash of red light in his eyes, and he violently extracted their souls.

"City of Slaughter…"

……

Training within Baidi, Tie Li felt the flow of soul power inside him, absorbing the primal qi of Plant Soul Beasts, and his cultivation pace grew ever more in sync with theirs.

It might take less than three months to break through to Level 60.

Then I'll be able to obtain my sixth Soul Ring.

My Fifth Soul Ring has surpassed 25,000 years; for the Sixth Soul Ring I'll try to secure a soul beast with a 50,000‑year limit.

But a soul beast with a 50,000‑year cultivation that matches my attribute is hard to find.

Tie Li suddenly halted his cultivation.

"Why are there so many Soul Beasts appearing?"

During cultivation, Tie Li's mental force attaches to Plant Soul Beasts, a method that trains his mental power and makes it stronger.

At the same time, it lets him clearly perceive the surroundings of Baidi.

Outside Baidi now, a multitude of Soul Beasts appeared.

The Plant Soul Beasts of Baidi absorbed vast heavenly and earthly treasures; because the essence of spirit herbs and the Plant Soul Beasts is very close, those that absorbed the treasures also emitted a distinctive fragrance.

That scent has a huge attraction for Soul Beasts.

All of Baidi exuded this faint fragrance, making it a treasure land in the eyes of Soul Beasts.

Even just the hundred‑year‑level Soul Beasts number in the hundreds!

At this moment they can still retain reason; the Lightning Light of Thunder Attribute Plant-type Soul Beasts gathered together is terrifying.

But as the number of Soul Beasts grows, some draw nearer to Baidi, and the limited reason of the hundred‑year beasts is gradually fading.

"Roar"

A hundred‑year Iron‑Arm Ape could no longer resist the lure, let out a furious roar, and sprinted into Baidi.

His action undoubtedly became the spark that ignited the war.

In an instant, a massive swarm of Soul Beasts surged toward Baidi.

In their eyes, the Plant Soul Beasts inside Baidi were just stalks of spirit grass.

"Sizzle"

Plant Soul Beasts would never willingly become food for other Soul Beasts; the gathered Lightning Light, like divine thunder whips, each strike causing dozens of hundred‑year Soul Beasts to lose life within the light.

The frail Soul Beasts even vanished outright within the Lightning Light.

Millennial Soul Beasts gradually joined the battlefield, and the outer Plant Soul Beasts began to suffer casualties.

Tie Li summoned the Zhen Long Chui martial soul, already at the perimeter; the Lightning Light condensed by the Plant Soul Beasts gave him a massive attribute boost.

Two yellow, two purple, one black!

Five Soul Rings materialized beneath Tie Li, the first four interweaving and flashing, while the Soul Beasts slaughtered by his hand multiplied wildly.

The inner circle of millennial Plant Soul Beasts released even more terrifying Lightning Light, but the sheer number of Soul Beasts was overwhelming.

Tie Li's situation here attracted ever more millennial Soul Beasts.

Pressure surged suddenly!

Fifth Soul Technique, Boundless Realm!

Tie Li unleashed the Fifth Soul Technique, hoping that with Ultimate Attribute he could slay the surrounding millennial Soul Beasts in a short time.

What Tie Li didn't expect was that Black Thunder coiled around the Plant Soul Beasts' lightning; in an instant, all the lightning over Baidi fell into a stagnant state.

The emergence of Ultimate Lightning was like a monarch appearing among an army.

All the lightning over Baidi seemed to undergo a metamorphosis, centering on Black Thunder, and a peculiar sensation arose in Tie Li's heart.

At that moment, he felt as if he had become the ruler of Baidi, lofty above all.

This feeling… is a Domain?

Back then, Bai Baoshan led me into Tiandou City; amid its bustle lay a tranquil bamboo grove, where an elder simply brewed and drank tea, everything naturally harmonious, allowing one to briefly forget the clamor of the world.

The Committee Member Bai Baoshan told me it was a special Domain, belonging solely to the elder.

Now, Tie Li also has this feeling; unlike the elder's leisurely self‑created Domain, this is a domineering Domain that can command everything.

"Boom"

Bone Wings from the External Attached Soul Bone suddenly unfurled, bathed in Lightning Light, brimming with a destructive aura.

The overwhelming power made Tie Li emit uncontrollable bursts of roars.

A huge lightning figure appeared above Baidi, a massive form entirely condensed from Lightning Light; his presence seemed to be the source of all lightning, like a thunder god enforcing heavenly law, terrifying thunder wings spread behind him, wielding a massive thunder hammer, he suddenly smashed down on an area.

There, more than ten soul beasts over thirty thousand years old had gathered, possessing intelligence not inferior to humans; this siege of Baidi was carried out by them to gather soul beasts.

Roar

Boom

Under the terrifying collision sound, it was truly like heavenly punishment descending; under such a terrifying attack, a huge pit filled with destructive aura appeared.

Six Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings emitting a deep luster appeared in the pit; not all were killed, several escaped.

As for the other soul beasts, they innately feared the aura of heavenly punishment; fear would gradually restore their reason, and they fled in all directions into the mountains and forests.

Inner Baidi appeared in ruins, but the inner circle suffered little destruction; the torn plant soul beasts left their seeds, and in such an environment as Baidi, they would soon regrow.

Whoosh!

Tie Li gasped heavily; just at that moment, the feeling of dominating everything, as if all was in his palm, the sensation of being able to wipe out with a flip of the hand, lingered in his mind and could not be dispelled.
