Judgment Land

Qian Daoliu watched Ling Yuxuan vanish before his eyes, his heart filled with emotion. In the blink of an eye, the child he had casually saved all those years ago had already embarked on the path to godhood.

All he could do for them was protect them silently until the day they grew strong enough.

Elsewhere, Ling Yuxuan slowly opened his eyes. The sight before him was exactly the same as the scene from the dream he had had when he was six.

Crimson earth, a dazzling golden sky—even the forest beside him was a sea of gold.

The Seraphim Mark on Ling Yuxuan's forehead lit up. Within Judgment Land, he was the master of this place. Under the mark's effect, everything in Judgment Land appeared in his mind.

Judgment Land consisted of nine regions, with the Judgment Holy Temple situated on a Sky Island at its center.

Judgment Forest, Judgment Valley, Judgment Abyss, Judgment Heavenly Stairs, Judgment Holy Road, Judgment Cave, Judgment Sea, Judgment Volcano.

Ling Yuxuan swept his gaze across Judgment Forest, and his eyes instantly lit up. Holy crap, there were actually Soul Beasts in Judgment Forest! Not a single one was under fifty thousand years old. They were all Light-Attribute Soul Beasts over fifty thousand years old. After examining all of Judgment Land, Ling Yuxuan's jaw nearly dropped.

There were more than twenty Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts throughout Judgment Land, all of them possessing either the Light or Fire Attribute.

This place had practically been tailor-made for him! Especially that eight-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year Light Holy Dragon deep within Judgment Cave. It's decided. You'll become my Ninth Spirit Ring!

"System, will the Soul Beasts here listen to me?"

"Host, they will. In Judgment Land, you control everything, and those Soul Beasts naturally fall under your command. Their loyalty to you is 100%."

"So if I want them to sacrifice themselves to me, they'll obediently do it too, right?"

"Yes, Host. After you become a god, this world will become your inner world. These Soul Beasts will also evolve into divine beasts for you to command."

Ling Yuxuan had reached level fifty, but he had yet to absorb a Spirit Ring. Thus, any of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts before him could be brought over to sacrifice itself to him.

Ling Yuxuan was in no hurry to find a Soul Beast to sacrifice itself to him. Instead, he first arrived at the Judgment Holy Temple.

He had not seen it clearly in the dream last time, but only when Ling Yuxuan truly arrived at the Judgment Holy Temple did he feel its majestic grandeur.

Ling Yuxuan entered the Judgment Holy Temple. The Light Element and Fire Element energy inside had both reached saturation. Those with Light-Attribute or Fire-Attribute martial souls would cultivate five times faster here. Since his Seraphim martial soul possessed both attributes, his cultivation speed would be ten times faster.

Wait, Xue Er had an angel-type martial soul just like his. If she cultivated here, her cultivation speed would also be ten times faster.

I wonder if I can bring other people here.

"System, can I bring others into Judgment Land?"

"Host, you can. However, since you have not yet become a god and Judgment Land has not truly transformed into your inner world, you can currently bring only two people into Judgment Land."

Two was enough. As long as he could bring people in, that was fine. He had originally thought he would have to be separated from Xue Er for a while. Since he could bring her in, once he absorbed his Spirit Ring, he would return and bring Xue Er over as well.

The scene shifted, and Ling Yuxuan arrived in Judgment Forest. Before him lay a massive golden lion dozens of meters tall—the Hundred-Thousand-Year Golden Holy Lion King. This was the Soul Beast Ling Yuxuan had chosen, soon to become his fifth Spirit Ring.

"Golden Holy Lion King, wake up."

The Golden Holy Lion King had still been lost in a pleasant dream when someone suddenly woke him. He threw back his head and let out an enraged roar.

But the moment he saw Ling Yuxuan, even his soul trembled. It felt as though the person before him could reduce him to ashes with a single thought.

His front legs gave way, and he fell to his knees.

"Greetings, Master of Judgment!"

Ling Yuxuan looked at the amusing lion before him and said directly,

"Lion King, I want you to sacrifice yourself to me and become my fifth Spirit Ring."

To the Golden Holy Lion King, Ling Yuxuan's words were an absolute command.

"Understood, Master of Judgment."

"Can you control the Soul Bone you form during the sacrifice?"

"Yes, Master of Judgment."

Hearing the Golden Holy Lion King's answer, Ling Yuxuan nodded.

"Then when you sacrifice yourself, form an External Soul Bone!"

Although the Golden Holy Lion King did not understand what Ling Yuxuan intended to do, he did not dare ask.

The Golden Holy Lion King threw back his head and roared. A red aura of energy blanketed the forest, while crimson blood flames ignited across his enormous body.

The sacrifice began!

Time to cheat.
