Ten Thousand Souls Cultivator
The Blood-Skeleton Daoist slowly rose from the deep pit, his Daoist robes reduced to tattered strips in the previous impact, barely covering his body, giving him a very fashionable beggar look.
The Glory Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand had dimmed, and the eerie light flowing across its surface had noticeably diminished, indicating that nearly one-fifth of the souls imprisoned within it had been consumed.
Surprisingly, however, there were no obvious injuries on his body, which was precisely due to the effect of his unique Talent [Ten Thousand Soul Cultivator].
[Talent: Soul Cultivator]
Effect 1: Collect the souls of the slain creatures; these can be used to enhance Attributes, refine items, and grant buffs, etc.
Effect 2: When damaged, the collected souls are automatically consumed to mitigate the damage.
He looked around blankly, and the first thing that caught his eye was the Caoyuanshi was steaming with golden Blood Qi.
At this moment, the martial artist was frantically charging at the edge of the black Fire Domain ahead at several times the speed of sound. Each punch he threw was accompanied by intense energy, briefly dispelling the Black Flames in front of him.
However, in the blink of an eye, more Black Flames surged in from all directions, filling the newly opened gap again, endlessly repeating the cycle.
What is that flowing black substance?
The moment the question arose in the mind of the Blood-Skeleton Daoist, he immediately found the answer.
It's fire.
The edge of the Dark Domain was a large expanse of slightly glowing and distorted matter, which was ionized air, similar to an electric arc discharge.
Blood-Skeleton Daoist had seen this scene before during the previous District War.
That was Name Lord fire magic, unleashing a killing move called "Great Evolution Burning Domain Fire," and the area around that flame would also emit a similar light.
That was a deadly move that cultivators below the Golden Core Stage would find difficult to withstand.
But what lies before me...
As Xuehai gazed at the boundless, sky-covering sea of black fire, his mind trembled.
How come there are so many?!
Could that person really be... Golden Core cultivator with Attributes exceeding 20?!
The Trickster deceived me?!
In the blink of an eye, an unusual fluctuation suddenly came from above.
In my divine sense, a terrifying energy was approaching at an alarming speed. Sandstorms raged, flames soared, and the outline of a metal building loomed in the eye of the storm.
A large net woven from flames descended upon them.
Blood-Skeleton Daoist's expression hardened, and he pointed his fingers rapidly at his chest. A blood-red flying sword shot out from his mouth, carrying a dazzling blood light as it pierced straight into the Heavenly Net.
The fire net shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of flames, revealing an even denser attack to come.
Continuous streams of flaming swords and spears, solidified black pillars of fire, and countless fireballs of various colors...
The Daoist waved his tattered robe, and his protective demonic energy surged forth once more, barely managing to withstand the saturation attack. The demonic energy shield fluctuated violently under the continuous impact, and fine cracks appeared and disappeared.
"No! These attacks are merely a diversionary tactic; there must be a follow-up killing move."
Feeling the barely holding on to the protective demonic energy, with cracks appearing on its surface, Blood-Skeleton Daoist sensed something was wrong.
As expected, several Meteorites Burn with Black Flames attacked from extremely tricky angles, completely sealing off any room for evasion, making it impossible to avoid them.
After a series of explosions, the Blood-Skeleton Daoist emerged naked from the smoke and dust, his body Burn in inextinguishable flames, and nearly half of the souls within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand had been lost.
He glanced in fear at the metal building that seemed to possess unlimited firepower, and without hesitation, flew towards the direction of the Caoyuanshi.
At this moment, the Caoyuanshi had given up probing. Its golden flames surged to their limit, transforming into a streak of light that fiercely broke into the black Fire Domain.
He was instantly enveloped by temperatures of at least tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.
The golden Blood Qi surged violently under extreme heat, being consumed frantically every moment. The skin Cycle between charring and Regeneration, smelling wonderfully burnt.
There is no air or ground; the air is ionized at high temperatures, and in its place, high-temperature plasma is generated, creating a deadly environment. Every time you open your mouth, it's like swallowing lava.
A living hell.
Everything in sight had melted, even the light was distorted and deformed in this inferno.
Caoyuanshi regretted it.
But he had nowhere to retreat; he could not turn back and confront that unfathomable Xiantian expert head-on. He could only seek a glimmer of hope in this terrifying Fire Domain.
Blood-Skeleton Daoist followed closely behind, gritting his teeth as he charged into the Fire Domain, his protective demonic energy almost instantly dissolving.
The number of souls within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was decreasing at a visible rate, and the Annihilation of each soul pained him deeply—he had killed them one by one!
Don't underestimate the cost of labor!
The two struggled through the inferno, only to discover in despair that the area was far larger than they had ever imagined.
Above and below, only one concept remains.
Flame!
The viscous, muddy flames Corrosion and burned everything.
Ten seconds passed, and the two had moved less than a kilometer.
The Caoyuanshi felt extremely stifled:
In a normal environment, he can run more than a kilometer per second. Even without physical support, he can move at high speed by stepping on the air and activating his Blood Qi.
But!
The air in the Fire Domain was burned away, and the rocks on the ground sublimated into gas and flowed away. There was no solid matter left in the Fire Domain for them to use to escape.
The remaining fluids and gases clinging to the flames only clung to them like a persistent, insidious Burn, severely slowing their movement.
Everything is transformed into gaseous, liquid, or plasma states under high temperatures, like being trapped in viscous amber, paying a huge price for every hundred meters it advances.
After traversing three kilometers of hellish terrain, Xuehai sensed his dwindling soul reserves and used his divine sense to probe the boundless Fire Domain ahead, a deep despair welling up within him.
Just as their condition was rapidly deteriorating, a sense of crisis that evoked memories returned from behind—several Black Flame Meteorite pierced through the sea of fire, relentlessly bombarding them!
A fierce glint flashed in the Blood-Skeleton Daoist's eyes, and his body was covered with dense demonic patterns, with a blood-red and black talisman appearing.
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for this one!
Caoyuanshi froze, feeling as if his Blood Qi had suddenly stagnated, as if countless vengeful spirits were tearing at his meridians.
"Damn it, blood and bones!"
Even without air as a medium to transmit sound, the Caoyuanshi still roared with bulging veins.
How despicable is this person?! Casting a curse on their teammate beforehand!
He roared, and his previously depleted Blood Qi surged again, forcefully Suppression the power of the Curse for the time being.
But this delay meant the Meteorite was already upon them.
After several terrifying explosions, Caoyuanshi emerged from the crater, clutching a severed hand, and coldly watched the fleeing carcasses ahead.
Lock-On, Throwing.
Blood Skeleton suddenly felt an attack coming from behind.
A mass of flesh and blood, carrying exaggerated kinetic energy, burst forth, sending the Blood Corpse sprawling upside down and plummeting towards the bottom of the Fire Domain.
This attack completely depleted his already dwindling soul, and flames and intense heat began to ravage his body.
Blood Skeleton, however, remained calm. He knew he couldn't escape this Fire Domain; he could only hold out for a dozen seconds at most.
The temperature becomes increasingly terrifying towards the bottom or top of the Fire Domain, due to the extra heat released by the continuous Burn of materials at the edges.
He used all his remaining demonic energy to stabilize his falling body.
