Illusion-Type Soul Skills

Bibi Dong had undergone far too many changes. He had long since been numbed by shock, his heart like a stagnant pool, incapable of stirring another ripple.

"It seems you possess a method to increase the age of Soul Rings. In that case, I absolutely cannot let you leave today."

A brilliant gleam of delight burst from the middle-aged man's eyes. The violent aura around him directly sealed off the area, preventing anyone from investigating what was happening here.

"Ghost God Domain!"

The middle-aged man roared, and rings of black light spread outward from him in all directions.

Ethereal black mist appeared from thin air within it, completely shrouding both him and Bibi Dong in this region.

Bibi Dong raised her brows at the sight. Standing within this pitch-black domain, she could sense its brutality, chaos, slaughter, and more.

All kinds of auras filled the place, making the entire area unbearably oppressive.

"So this is the Innate Domain that comes with the Ghost God Martial Soul: the Ghost God Domain?"

Bibi Dong walked around, examining the domain's specific effects. She exuded an air of calm and showed no panic whatsoever, as though the domain barely had any presence to her.

From Spirit Hall's records, Bibi Dong had learned that the Ghost God Martial Soul came with an Innate Domain, the Ghost God Domain. She simply did not know its exact effects.

He wanted to use his Innate Domain to suppress her strength. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man had miscalculated. He was not the only one with an Innate Domain.

"Your domain may be useful against others, but to me, it is nothing more than decoration."

Bibi Dong spoke softly.

"Buzz!"

The Underworld Heavenly Maiden Martial Soul behind her rippled. A ring of purple-black light instantly shattered all the chaotic auras around them and dispersed the black mist completely.

"Boom!"

The power of the domain continued spreading forward with an unstoppable force, falling entirely upon the middle-aged man.

"How can this be? My domain was shattered by you in an instant! How is that possible? They are both Innate Domains of Divine Martial Souls, so why is yours so much stronger than mine?"

The middle-aged man sensed that his Ghost God Domain had no power to resist at all and had been utterly crushed by Bibi Dong's domain. His expression changed drastically.

How was this possible?!

Since his birth, he had never encountered a Soul Master who could completely suppress him in terms of domains.

"If you want the answer, ask your Martial Soul yourself."

Bibi Dong slowly walked toward the middle-aged man and spoke calmly.

Bibi Dong did not entirely understand why her Underworld God Domain could completely suppress the Ghost God Domain. Still, she had a strong premonition that the Ghost God Domain was inferior to her Underworld God Domain.

The Underworld God Domain's specific effect was to suppress the strength of enemies within it by 60%, while increasing her own strength by 60%. It was truly a heaven-defying divine domain.

"Damn it, my strength is actually being suppressed by your domain!"

"After Soul Power Level ninety-five, every single level of difference in Soul Power is worlds apart. Even with your level ninety-seven Soul Power and your domain's enhancement, you cannot be absolutely certain of defeating me."

A thought arose in the middle-aged man's heart. With his strength suppressed by 60%, he had to be extremely cautious. Otherwise, one moment of carelessness could cost him his life.

Bibi Dong possessed nine 100,000-Year Soul Rings, but each use of a Soul Skill consumed a considerable amount of Soul Power.

Then he would simply wear her down. He refused to believe that once Bibi Dong exhausted her Soul Power, he still would not be able to capture her.

"Is that so?"

Bibi Dong slightly raised her eyes. Her Soul Power rippled, and under the concealment of the Underworld God Domain, she vanished from her original spot in the blink of an eye. When she reappeared, she was behind the middle-aged man.

Her scepter carried an immense amount of Soul Power as she swung it toward the back of his head.

"Not good!"

The middle-aged man was still on guard, wondering why Bibi Dong had vanished, when he suddenly sensed something wrong. Alarm bells rang wildly in his heart.

Sensing the terrifying fluctuation of Soul Power behind him, he hurriedly fled forward as the fifth Black Soul Ring on his body suddenly lit up.

"Ghost God Martial Soul, Fifth Soul Skill: Ghost God's Gate."

A black gate appeared before the middle-aged man. At that very moment, Bibi Dong's attack reached him.

"Rumble, rumble!"

Their attacks collided, producing massive fluctuations of Soul Power that caused the surrounding land to collapse and split apart. Terrifying aftershocks swept through the area, destroying everything in their path.

Taking the opportunity, the middle-aged man retreated far away. He looked at Bibi Dong ahead of him with confusion on his face.

What was going on?

Why could he not sense Bibi Dong's whereabouts? Could this be the effect of her domain? At that thought, the middle-aged man became even more solemn. This battle was going to be extremely difficult.

"You cannot even detect my whereabouts, yet you still wish to defeat me? Is this the strength of your Ghost Gate? That is truly laughable."

Bibi Dong leisurely descended from the air. Her scepter lightly touched down, and a startling surge of Soul Power calmed all the surrounding turmoil.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, the middle-aged man's expression turned even uglier. He had indeed boasted earlier, only for Bibi Dong to use those words to mock him now.

The killing intent in his heart grew even stronger. He wished he could tear Bibi Dong into a thousand pieces.

"Damn it!"

"Ghost God Martial Soul, Eighth Soul Skill: Ghost God's Heart."

The middle-aged man's eyes had reddened with rage. He spread his arms as the eighth Black Soul Ring on the Ghost God Martial Soul suddenly radiated intense black light.

An incomparably dense fluctuation of Soul Power gradually gathered before the middle-aged man.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

It formed into a strange black heart, which beat with a thudding rhythm and emitted a soul-stirring aura. One glance at it made one feel as though they would be immersed within it forever.

When Bibi Dong saw the heart, a sudden sense of danger rose within her. She narrowed her eyes, wanting to see what trick the middle-aged man was trying to play.

As she stared at the black heart, she suddenly heard the middle-aged man's laughter and looked up.

"Ha ha ha, Her Royal Highness, the Saintess, you have fallen for it!"

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man laughed wildly and suddenly crushed the black heart before him. Strands of black thread fluttered in the wind and rapidly flew toward Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's expression changed. She unleashed a large amount of Soul Power to destroy those unknown black threads.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Explosions rang out one after another as all the black threads shattered into patches of black mist.

Yet strangely, that black mist condensed into black threads once more and continued flying toward Bibi Dong.

As more and more black threads gathered, Bibi Dong was caught off guard and wrapped up by them.

"Where is this?"

When Bibi Dong opened her eyes again, she suddenly found herself in a land of darkness, surrounded by endless black mist.
