Chapter 178: Death God Domain - Hell Slaughter Formation!
"Invincible?"
"What kind of effect are you talking about exactly?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was filled with curiosity. "Are you planning to disable the soul rings and soul bones of everyone else within the domain so only we can use ours?"
"Not exactly."
Bai Lu slightly shook his head.
"Incomplete magic prohibition is no different from no magic prohibition at all."
"But achieving complete prohibition... is easier said than done."
"Even for me, I may never accomplish it in my entire lifetime."
He paused briefly.
"However, I already have another line of thought. From a different direction, I can gradually achieve a similar effect!
"I'll make them seem like cripples in front of me!"
"So mysterious and secretive and so fierce and powerful, Mr. Big Tiger."
The corners of Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled upward, and she stopped asking further questions.
But in her heart, her expectations for Bai Lu's domain concept grew even greater.
"Let's work hard together. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me anytime."
Bai Lu praised her: "Don't forget we're the best partners!"
"Okay!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded vigorously.
Afterward, she focused her mind and began wholeheartedly resisting the pressure while cultivating and comprehending.
From this moment onwards, an additional resilient figure appeared within the blood sea.
Because there were no restrictions on soul rings or soul bones, the girl directly activated the Soul Devouring Spider Slaughter Formation, fixing herself within the core area.
Around her body, the Death God Domain and White Tiger Slaughter Formation were both fully unleashed.
While resisting the erosion of the blood sea, she simultaneously comprehended the true essence of killing intent.
She attempted to perfectly fuse the pure domain and soul bone domain into one!
At the same time, the White Tiger Slaughter Art circulated continuously as her physique, soul power, and spiritual power steadily improved.
Meanwhile, within the spiritual sea—
"Magic prohibition... truly is a powerful ability!"
Bai Lu sat upon his throne, dense killing intent and a blood aura swirling around him.
Within this blood sea, he was like a fish in water. His comprehension of slaughter deepened with every passing day.
If not for his concerns regarding the influence of the Rakshasa God, he would have long since completely let himself loose.
Even at great risk, he would have attempted to devour the entire domain left behind by the Asura God within Slaughter City!
"The essence of Slaughter City's magic prohibition is severing the connection between soul rings and soul masters, thereby rendering them completely ineffective, to the point they cannot even be summoned!"
"Then what if this ability were applied in other aspects?"
"What if it were applied to other forms of power?"
Bai Lu's eyes crackled like lightning, filled with madness, as he continuously expanded the concept of magic prohibition into broader applications.
Time flowed endlessly like water.
Meanwhile, the erosion of the killing intent and resentment within the blood sea grew increasingly powerful over time.
Later on, it escalated with each passing day!
Zhu Zhuqing's body had already become flawless, so physically enduring it was naturally not a problem.
But their minds suffered tremendous impacts and exhaustion.
Those miserable wails and twisted resentments clung to them like maggots on rotten bones, endlessly drilling into their minds, attempting to erode their sanity.
At first, it was manageable.
But later on...
"Bai Lu, give it to me!"
"Please, one more time. I can't take it anymore. It feels like ants are crawling all over my body!"
"Take me already!"
Unable to endure it any longer, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively pressed herself tightly against Bai Lu, greedily drawing in his aura.
Like a kitten addicted to catnip, she continuously sought strength and comfort from him.
She even began wanting more.
Her restless claws started groping towards Bai Lu's body.
"Are you even awake?!"
Whenever this happened, Bai Lu would ruthlessly give her a massive slap, forcefully snapping her awake.
His palms continued to descend, forcibly dispersing her corrupted emotions bit by bit.
"S-Sorry... I lost control again."
Zhu Zhuqing rubbed her thighs together, her face flushed bright red.
Now she finally understood why even a brute as powerful as Tang Chen could still overturn his cart.
Even with this caution, she still could not avoid being affected.
If Bai Lu's willpower had not been so firm, she dared not imagine what she would have fallen into.
"You lose control without even looking at what kind of place this is!"
"Is this a place where you can lose control?"
"When you leave here, you'd better still be this uncontrollable."
Bai Lu shot the girl a meaningful look, telling her to think it over carefully herself.
"T-That... that..."
Zhu Zhuqing instantly shrank up like a quail, stammering as she lowered her head.
"Don't let evil thoughts control you. In this place, corruption has either zero times or countless times!
"Don't just think about trembling souls and ascending to heaven. Think about our great dream."
Bai Lu suppressed the flames within himself as he continuously fed the girl motivational words.
"We haven't succeeded yet. We still have to become gods together. We can't let all our efforts go to waste here!"
"Think about our goals. Think about our future together. Hold on!"
"I understand now!"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly slapped herself awake and regained her focus, continuing her domain comprehension.
She absolutely could not drag Bai Lu down.
She wanted to complete this difficult trial together with him.
And so, they persevered within the blood sea.
Supporting one another, discussing with one another, encouraging one another, waking one another up...
Day after day.
Month after month.
A full eighty-one days passed!
The blood sea's erosion grew increasingly powerful while their minds became increasingly exhausted.
Their Death God Domains also gradually took shape through repeated comprehension and deductions.
Finally, during Zhu Zhuqing's fifth month inside, she finally found the fusion point between the White Tiger Slaughter Formation and the Death God Domain.
And the White Tiger Slaughter Formation had completely taken on her own color!
"Death God Domain - Hell Slaughter Formation!"
Zhu Zhuqing abruptly opened her eyes and let out a low shout.
The next moment, the Hell Slaughter Armor instantly possessed her body.
Bloody light erupted from the Death God Domain, instantly covering a blood sea spanning ten thousand meters.
"Roar~"
Amid endless roars, countless undead spirits slowly emerged within the domain.
They roared within the blood sea, continuously devouring, killing intent to temper and strengthen themselves!
Under the sublimation of this place, all the gray, white, yellow, and purple undead spirits rapidly transformed.
At a visible speed, they were dyed into black undead spirits, radiating bloody light!
The overall strength of the undead spirit army increased by far more than double!
Surrounded by countless undead spirits, Zhu Zhuqing, standing at the center of the blood sea, resembled an unfathomable Hell Empress!
But if someone carefully sensed her aura, they would discover something astonishing—
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's armor did not contain the slightest fluctuation of soul power!
"It succeeded!"
A slight smile rose upon Zhu Zhuqing's lips.
She lightly clenched her raised hand, and all the undead spirits once again sank back into the domain.
From this day onward, the White Tiger Slaughter Formation could also be called the Hell Slaughter Formation!
And the Hell Slaughter Formation no longer required soul power consumption. With merely a movement of spiritual power or killing intent, it could be successfully activated!
The countless undead spirits obeyed her like extensions of her own arms, completely under her command!
At the same time, due to the perfect fusion of the two abilities, the Death God Domain underwent a qualitative transformation.
Now, both the suppression against enemies and the amplification toward herself had successfully surpassed their limits, reaching a terrifying twenty-five percent!
All opponents lacking powerful domains would have their abilities weakened by one-fourth in front of her!
It was practically an epic-level enhancement!
"Even without using the Eight Spider Lances or Hell White Tiger, Teacher Xiong Shi would already be no match for me!"
"Even against Teacher Golden Crocodile, if we fought with everything we had, my chances of victory would still be greater!"
Confidence gleamed within Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
