Chapter 180: Powerful Domain, Generous Rewards!
"You're calling this anti-magic?"
After hearing the explanation, Zhu Zhuqing was completely stunned.
This domain simply didn't feel like something a normal person could create.
"When soul power runs out, it directly drains a soul master's origin. Isn't that way too evil..."
"Evil? How is it evil?"
Bai Lu immediately became unhappy and retorted:
"Can you or I absorb even a single bit of the soul power this domain drains?"
"It treats everyone equally without discrimination, okay!"
"If others can't endure it, then they should reflect on themselves. Why are they getting their soul power drained without any ability to resist?"
"Maybe they just didn't work hard enough and failed to create sufficiently powerful domains and secret techniques!"
"Uh... that's not what I meant."
Zhu Zhuqing wore a serious expression. "What I meant was, since it's already this evil, why not make it even more evil? Why not create a domain that only drains other people's soul power?"
"How could I control something like that!"
Bai Lu spread his hands and said righteously:
"If it drains my own soul power too, others won't be able to find a way to break it~."
"Think about it. If your opponent is much stronger than you, as long as they can't kill you quickly..."
"If you're careful with your soul power usage and stay inside long enough, your advantage will keep growing!"
"After all, your hundred-thousand-year soul bone skills barely consume anything!"
"Fine... you win!"
Zhu Zhuqing was persuaded by Bai Lu.
Thinking about it carefully, it actually made sense.
She had so many soul skills. If she used low-consumption but highly practical abilities like Phantom Flash, her opponent would definitely die before she did!
"Don't forget, you also have the undead spirit army from the Slaughter Space!"
Bai Lu suddenly smiled.
"Undead spirit army?"
Zhu Zhuqing froze and asked, "Doesn't this domain also drain spiritual power and soul origin?"
"It does!"
Bai Lu nodded slightly. "But those are drained last. Their priority is at the very end."
"In that case, Death God Domain!"
With a thought, Zhu Zhuqing activated the Death God Domain and fused it with Bai Lu's domain.
"Roar~"
Amid the howls, endless undead spirits surged forth once again.
They ran wildly, attacked frantically, and unleashed every soul skill they still possessed!
The blood sea instantly descended into chaos.
After all the commotion, the undead spirits' bodies had only become slightly dimmer.
"Big Tiger, our domains fit together perfectly!"
Zhu Zhuqing excitedly hugged Bai Lu.
Inside Bai Lu's anti-magic domain, once the undead spirit army was scattered, they could no longer revive, and their power slowly faded away. However, the rate of loss was incredibly slow.
Most importantly, this consumed none of her own soul power or spiritual power!
What did that mean?
It meant that if she truly encountered a powerful enemy, after activating the anti-magic domain, she could first use the undead spirit army to wear them down!
Facing thousands upon thousands of undead spirits, even if the enemy survived, most of their soul power would be exhausted!
"Now you know how amazing I am, right~?"
Bai Lu gently stroked the girl's ears.
"As expected of you. I'll admit you're impressive!"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled as she wrapped her arms around Bai Lu's neck and took the initiative to kiss him.
Right at that moment, the familiar cold voice appeared once again in Zhu Zhuqing's mind—
[Asura God Third Trial completed. Reward: Asura God affinity increased by 30%; all soul ring ages increased by 10,000 years.]
As the voice faded, a pillar of blood-red light descended from the sky and completely enveloped the girl.
Within the light, she unconsciously entered the martial soul possession state.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, red, red, red—seven soul rings emerged one after another.
Even the White Tiger martial soul's hundred-thousand-year soul ring appeared at the same time.
The incredibly pure killing intent and divine power within the blood-red light surged into her body, continuously raising the ages of her soul rings.
One soul ring after another transformed from yellow to purple, from purple to black.
In only a few minutes, the century soul rings had completely evolved into ten-thousand-year soul rings!
And the soul ring configuration of her first martial soul had become the four black, three red combination!
"This time, the increase is actually this huge!?"
Even after it ended, Zhu Zhuqing still felt dazed.
She had thought that following the pattern of the previous two trials, she would only gain another three to five ranks of soul power.
She never expected the Asura God to be so generous this time!
She immediately bowed toward the empty air.
"Thank you, Asura God. You're a good god!"
'Asura God: What? Me? A good god? Are you kidding me?'
Standing nearby, Bai Lu imagined the expression Asura God would make after hearing her gratitude.
"Alright, alright, stop thanking him. If Asura God heard that, people who didn't know better would think you're mocking him~."
Bai Lu laughed as he rubbed the girl's head.
"The rewards for this trial really are surprisingly high, but it still makes sense."
"After all, the difficulty was there. The future divine trials might not even be harder than this."
"No problem! I won't be afraid, no matter how hard they are!"
Zhu Zhuqing gave a cat-like smile.
"I'm really strong now!"
As she spoke, she suddenly clenched her fist.
Soul power erupted, and even the surrounding air seemed to explode from her grip.
Nearly half a year of tempering in the blood sea had strengthened more than just her body and soul.
Her soul power had also steadily improved thanks to the White Tiger Slaughter Art that Bai Lu taught her.
Now, her level has already reached Rank 78!
Not to mention that after the soul ring age increases, the power of every soul skill becomes much stronger!
"No matter how strong you are, aren't you still my little kitty?"
Bai Lu smiled as he pinched Zhu Zhuqing's ears.
"I can feel that after absorbing Asura God's power, your White Tiger martial soul has changed a bit."
"Eh? You're right!"
After carefully sensing it, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes immediately lit up.
White Tiger Vajra Transformation... no, now it should be called White Tiger Asura Transformation!
After activating the ability, in addition to the previous boosts and abnormal status immunity, it had gained a new special ability—
Killing Intent Lock-On!
After activating the soul skill, her attacks would become infused with killing intent, increasing their destructive power while locking onto the opponent's aura, massively increasing accuracy.
Combined with her speed, enemies would only have two choices.
Either block the attack...
Or get pierced through by it!
There was no third option!
"The Asura God governs judgment. Judgment means sinners have nowhere to escape."
Bai Lu said confidently:
"I have a feeling that as you continue completing divine trials in the future, this soul skill will continue evolving."
"It'll eventually make all your attacks ignore space itself and never miss!"
"That strong!?"
Zhu Zhuqing became even more excited.
Don't forget, her methods of attack weren't limited to just two cat claws.
She also had the Eight Spider Lances!
With so many attacks unleashed simultaneously...
Even Teacher Golden Crocodile probably wouldn't be her opponent now!
"Speaking of which, you're almost Rank 80. It's about time to start planning your eighth soul ring."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Lu said seriously:
"After this, I have to find a way to get you a more special soul ring!"
Zhu Zhuqing immediately made a request:
"Then it better be very special!"
She was now completely convinced of Bai Lu's abilities.
Even if he told her that absorbing a ten-year Lone Bamboo would grant her a peerless divine skill called Hell Pole-Vaulting, she would still do it.
Even if she didn't understand, she would absorb it without the slightest hesitation.
"Don't worry, guaranteed special!"
Bai Lu patted his chest and confidently promised.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to make up for your final weakness!"
"My final weakness... what is that?"
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what weakness she had left.
Every part of her body and every ability she possessed was either overwhelming mechanics or overwhelming stats.
What else could she possibly be lacking?
She clearly lacked nothing at all!
"You do! But it's a secret for now. You'll know later!"
Bai Lu smiled mysteriously.
"Fine then!"
Zhu Zhuqing curled her lips upward.
A seed of anticipation had quietly been planted in her heart, waiting for the day it would bloom!
