Destruction Domain

Tang San felt his emotions starting to become unstable.

Those negative emotions that had been suppressed deep in my heart were stirred up from the depths by some force and surfaced on the surface of my consciousness.

Anger. He recalled Tang Hao's years of alcoholism and decadence in Holy Soul Village, and the days when he almost starved to death in the Blacksmith's Shop. That feeling of being ignored and forgotten burned like a fire in his heart.

Fear. He recalled Bibi Dong's cold purple eyes, and the terrifying pressure emanating from Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo during their ambush. That feeling of powerlessness in the face of absolute powerhouses weighed on his heart like a stone.

Destructive urges. He recalled the sensation of the Clear Sky Hammer smashing an enemy's skull, the resistance of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear piercing an opponent's chest. That exhilarating feeling of destroying everything was like a sweet poison swirling on his tongue.

The abyss conjured up all sorts of illusions, tempting him to vent his frustrations and to indulge in the pleasure of destroying everything.

Tang San's breathing became rapid, and his fingers, gripping the Clear Sky Hammer tightly, turned slightly white.

He wanted to kill everyone who stood in his way; the thrill of destruction gave him a cold smile.

Just then, a cool hand gently covered the back of his hand.

Ye Lingling stood beside him, her blue eyes reflecting Tang San's face, which was illuminated by a dark purple light.

Tang San's body paused slightly, and his surging emotions seemed to have been doused with cold water, instantly calming him down considerably.

He knew that if he truly relinquished control at that moment, his consciousness would be assimilated by the abyss, forever lost in the cycle of rage, ultimately becoming another "Ferocious Beast" within the abyss.

Fortunately, Ye Lingling was by his side. She acted as an anchor, preventing him from losing himself and becoming a machine that only knew how to destroy.

Tang San began practicing observing those emotions with a "cold eye".

His childhood experiences, his fear of the Spirit Hall, and his destructive urge to destroy Zhang San were all trivial matters.

In the future, only your loved ones will truly need protection.

Tang San thought that he came into this world to pursue the idea of controlling his own path, and that no amount of negative emotions should affect him.

With the terrifying Spiritual Power provided by the 300,000-year -Head Soul Bone, plus the Spiritual Power amplification provided by the Dreamlike Illusion Eyes, he quickly resisted the invasion of those desires.

Those emotions, like undercurrents surging from the abyss, roared and surged around Tang San, yet they could no longer shake the foundation beneath his feet.

Tang San could still sense their presence, but they could no longer control his actions.

Another six months passed quietly amidst this soul-crushing ordeal.

Tang San's state of mind underwent a profound change during this process.

He learned how to view those emotions, how to control those destructive urges, how to guide their direction, and how to stop being consumed by them.

When Tang San sensed the atmosphere in the abyss changing again, they had already been traveling through this passage for nearly a year.

The surrounding dark purple light began to thin, and the pervasive sense of erosion gradually subsided.

At the end of the passage, a more spacious area appeared.

It was a naturally formed circular cave with a dome about ten zhang high and smooth, mirror-like walls, as if it had been carefully polished by some force.

In the center of the cave, there is a low altar.

The altar was made of a deep black stone, with a dark purple light floating above it, radiating an extremely profound and ancient sense of oppression.

Tang San and Ye Lingling walked onto the altar.

The moment Tang San stood on the altar, he felt the destructive energy that had been accumulating within him for nearly a year suddenly surge.

They no longer quietly merged into his Soul Power as before, but instead surged wildly toward the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand.

The Clear Sky Hammer uncontrollably condensed in his palm.

Dark purple energy surged from Tang San's body, flowing down his arm into the hammer and dyeing the entire hammer a deep dark purple.

The patterns on the hammer began to glow under the infusion of that energy, the concentration of destructive power began to rise sharply, and the surrounding air became heavy and scorching hot.

Tang San sat down in the center of the altar, closed his eyes, and began to control the destructive power within his body, fusing it with his Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer.

This is an extremely crucial process.

If that destructive energy is merely accumulated within the body, it will eventually be exhausted, or it may get out of control during a certain outburst.

However, if they are deeply bound to the Clear Sky Hammer, they will become part of one's own power and be used permanently by one's own will.

Tang San immersed his consciousness into his body, feeling the dark purple energy surging through his meridians.

He guided them, leading them along a specific path to converge in his left palm, and then through his palm into the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Clear Sky Hammer emitted a deep hum deep within his consciousness, as if responding to the call of those destructive energies.

The patterns on the hammer lit up one after another, and a dark purple light spread from the handle to the hammerhead, and then from the hammerhead to the entire hammer body.

The Clear Sky Hammer became even heavier and more filled with an aura of destruction under the infusion of that energy.

This process lasted a full month.

Tang San sat cross-legged on the altar, motionless.

Dark purple light swirled around him, enveloping his body in a purple halo.

Tang San's aura grew deeper and more solid, and the power honed from the Abyss of Destruction was gradually merging with him.

Ye Lingling sat quietly on the edge of the altar, guarding him.

When the dark purple light finally subsided completely, Tang San slowly opened his eyes.

A faint dark purple halo now adorned the head of his Clear Sky Hammer, a sign that the Destruction Domain had awakened.

Tang San could sense that a brand new power was being born deep within his consciousness. Although it was still somewhat immature, it contained the potential to shake the heavens and the earth.

Destruction Domain.

It complements the Life Domain, yet is entirely different.

The Life Domain nourishes and strengthens life within its range, while the Destruction Domain subjectes everything within its range to destructive erosion.

The enemy's defenses will be weakened, their Soul Power will be corroded, and their strength will continuously decline.

The initial effect is to weaken the enemy's strength by 10% and increase one's own strength by 10%.

More importantly, Tang San successfully balanced the destructive power and Life Force within his body.

These two conflicting forces surged within him, each flowing independently without interfering with the other.

The Life Force nourishes his body and vitality, while the power of destruction tempers his will and attacks.

They do not exclude each other, but coexist in a strange state of equilibrium.

Like day and night, they are opposites, yet neither can exist without the other.

Tang San stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body. The power within him was like a beast that had just awakened, full of the desire to stretch and unleash its power.

He turned around and looked at Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling stood at the edge of the altar, and the moment she met Tang San's gaze, a faint smile curved her lips.

"Let's go. It's time to go back." Tang San extended his hand to her.

Ye Lingling nodded and took his hand.

The two walked side by side toward the other end of the altar, and soon they arrived at a stone gate.

After crossing the stone gate, the two returned to the secret chamber on Sea God Island.

For a year and a month, they fought continuously, and their Soul Power increased remarkably.

Tang San has leveled up two times and is currently at level eighty-seven.

This is two levels of Soul Douluo. At a normal training speed, advancing one level in a year is considered very fast.

Ye Lingling has also leveled up three times, and is currently at level seventy-eight.
