Chapter 603: Hidden Rules and the Karmic Fire Heart Pump

【'Insight Demon Eye' detects Domain Clash!】

【Grass Domain · Green Vine Mutual Healing (Rod): 41】

【Bone Spike Domain · Blood Bone Spiral (Vincent): 71】

【Result: Failure!!!】

The glaring words 'Failure' appeared on the panel.

Bone Spike Domain—just hearing the name reveals it is a Domain with a relatively smaller scope of authority.

It is clearly not on the same scale as the Fire Domain and Plague Domain Rod possesses.

But Domains are not something one can simply choose to obtain; in fact, many people reach the Eighth Tier without possessing even a single Domain authority.

Rod stiffened all over, stumbled, and half-kneeled on the ground, sensing the rapidly spinning bone spikes piercing through his heart.

Pump-pump—

Yet the combined pumping of the 【Giant Dragon Heart】 and 【Second Heart】 did not let this pierced heart stop working.

At the same time, the spiraling bone spikes did not stop there; they crossed the gaps between the ribs, greedily trying to pierce through to the outside of the body.

"Bone powder?"

A massive amount of bone spike powder mixed with the frost mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

Another round of Domain judgment appeared on the panel.

【'Insight Demon Eye' detects Domain Clash!】

【Defense Domain · Basic (Rod): 51】

【Bone Spike Domain · Blood Bone Spiral (Vincent): 71】

【Result: Failure!】

Failure again!

He felt the muscles in his chest tear open, then bulge beneath the skin enhanced by the Dragon Scale Art, spiraling desperately.

But it had not yet pierced through.

The Grass Domain is related to the human life source, which also made it difficult for the opponent to directly control the skeletal mutation.

It is true that the Domain power facing the +18 【Dragon Scale Art】 is stronger than Rod's Domain, but after being repeatedly neutralized by the Defense Domain and the Grass Domain, it naturally became much harder to break through.

Rod looked at the small hill of skin on his chest, heaving up and down.

He inexplicably recalled the scene of Tally's little belly moving up and down on the bed.

"So this is what it feels like? Does Tally like this so much?"

The crowd in the stands saw Rod half-kneeling on the ground and instantly erupted into loud cheers.

The waves of sound rolled in again and again, drilling straight into their ears.

The man in the dragonfly mask sneered: "How could Vincent's Bone Spike Domain be resisted by someone like Rod who hasn't even reached the Eighth Tier? Captain Carter, tell us how you want to play; we will have Mr. Vincent assist in the performance."

Captain Carter's expression remained unchanged: "Soul Warriors above a certain tier will not die even if their hearts are pierced; do not relax."

The man scoffed inwardly: If it weren't for the fact that you work for the Yige Sect, do you think I would care about you at all?

"Captain Carter is right, but look at Rod staring at his chest with an expression of disbelief; I bet he is definitely undergoing his deathbed repentance!"

Carter did not reply to him:

"The Arena's Honor Points are nearly exhausted; just finish him off."

"No rush, no rush, hahaha—"

Eve, watching the scene in the arena, frowned tightly: "Make your move; kill the man who controls the Arena's treasures first."

"No rush."

"Hm?"

The captain of the Shadow Hunter Wind, Eve, looked at Rosalia in confusion.

You specifically came to participate in this event because you were worried about Rod's safety.

Even if a Soul Warrior won't die from a pierced heart, their combat power will plummet drastically; let alone facing a Ninth Tier.

"If we don't act now, he will die."

Rosalia shook her head: "He is fine, not a single thing is wrong; just look at his expression."

"Expression?"

Eve looked carefully but didn't feel anything special.

Rosalia smiled faintly, revealing a nostalgic expression: "Perhaps Captain Eve doesn't know, but Rod keeps beauties of various races in the forest. He is completely open about it, hiding none of his lustful desires, and every time he gets lustful, he makes this exact expression."

"?"

In the arena.

The Chuan Ci Fa master Vincent's expression changed.

He did not sense even a trace of shrinkage in Rod's soul energy.

Moreover, he could clearly perceive that the Domain mixed within Rod's body was unable to penetrate his entire form.

Centered on Rod's crotch, an invisible force constantly radiated outward, eroding all foreign Domains.

What the hell is this?!

I heard Rod keeps countless beauties in the forest, including succubi who are huge sperm drains; even if you have the talent to handle them...

Why is even my Domain being handled down there?!!?

Sizzle————

Sizzle————

The blue frost was rapidly evaporated, spewing out white steam.

Then it continued to be dispersed into mist by the increasingly high temperature, distorting the space in mid-air.

Rod slowly stood up, a thin layer of golden-orange flames rising from his shoulders and head.

His expression was wild.

"Indeed it can, but that's all there is to it."

One of the derived skills of 【Charm Fluid】 after absorbing Lilith's blood: 【Final Tide】.

【Details: One of your bodily fluids contains a miniature abyss, capable of eroding the power of domains or laws.】

This was an unexpected joy.

This thing basically completely eliminated the possibility of others using a domain to fully control Rod's body.

Of course.

Not only that.

The Rage skill of 【Negative Emotion Absorption】 — 【Karmic Fire Heart Pump】.

【Details: Consume Rage points to enter this state; the heavier the injury, the stronger the attack. When vital signs are on the verge of disappearing, "Nirvana Combustion" automatically triggers, releasing energy equal to 300% of all Rage points and restoring all injuries.】

Given the Dragon Scale Technique, this god-defying defense, the number of times Rod had been injured could be counted on one's fingers.

So this skill had been kept in reserve by him for a long time.

Now, having his heart pierced counted as a severe injury, although it was still somewhat far from "vital signs on the verge of disappearing."

【Current attack amplification of 'Karmic Fire Heart Pump': 227%!】

"Rod!"

Lil, standing by the waiting area, suddenly called out.

Rod turned to look and saw a miniature ritual emitting dazzling white light in front of the half-giant girl.

【Lil has shared the hidden rule of 'Blood Lion Spine Colosseum' with you】

【Hidden Rule: The Gambler at the End of the Road!】

【Bet! Bet! Bet! Give everything away!】

【Flesh Roulette: Strip one organ to gain a 30% status boost (10% success rate)!】

"As expected of you, Lil!"

"Of course!" Lil placed her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, wearing a look of pure pride.

Rod threw his head back and laughed loudly.

Behind him, the war soul of the Hundred-Eyed Ghost manifested; countless withered crimson arms spread wildly, each palm bearing a yellow, protruding vertical-pupil eye that was evil and terrifying.

【Eye Growth】.

With a rip, eyes instantly grew densely over both arms and chest.

Then, under the effect of the Flesh Roulette, they withered and dissolved into bloodwater.

【Number of victories for 'Flesh Roulette': 32】

【Selected Amplification: 'Karmic Fire Heart Pump'】

【Current amplification of 'Karmic Fire Heart Pump': 227+960%!!!】

Boom!!!

The compressed Rage Karmic Fire exploded in place; golden-orange magma surged madly upward, rushing to the dome, then blocked by the fake blue sky and white clouds, falling back down as a rain of magma.

The powerful explosion instantly blasted a giant meteor crater into the ground of the entire colosseum.

Rod laughed wildly, his body stiff, holding the long sword high.

The giant golden-orange flame greatsword, combining 【Giant Form Slash +28】 and 【Blessing of the Ancient Sky Tree】, crashed against the dome.

【Power Liberation 1500%】!

"I am fucking invincible!!!"

Vincent stared at the earth-shattering, goddamn colossal sword light before him, which was even more outrageous than a legendary spell, as if seeing a ghost.

The 【Sapphire Shield】 in its Overmagic state was instantly covered by a layer of bone; with a pop, the sword light actually got stuck for a full two seconds before the shield finally shattered and scattered.

"Is this... is this fucking Tier 7?"

He looked in utter shock as the sword light was about to strike him.

Struck by a Tier 7, severely injured and humiliated in front of so many people?

No! Vincent's face turned extremely cold; he decisively manipulated the method to 'Forfeit'.

A giant mass of Karmic Fire exploded violently in place!

A scorching, fierce heatwave surged outward, blasting onto the faces of every person in the stands, who stood speechless and frozen.

Voom—

【Home Field Advantage】 activated.

Teleportation lights flashed continuously above and below the arena.

The Piercing Mage Vincent appeared among the spectators, looking down at the arena, where he saw Rod, with the flames still not dispersed, once again thrust his thumb downward, arrogant and wild.

In an instant, Vincent's face turned extremely ugly.

"Next."
