Deterrence

King Sangluo wouldn't have died so easily. His mistake was drawing Bai Yang into his domain.

If Bai Yang had broken through his domain from the outside, King Sangluo could still have escaped. After all, an external attack couldn't harm his will. But with his domain collapsing from within, no one could save him.

The golden clouds vanished, and Bai Yang reappeared in his true form, hovering in the air. He beckoned toward the spot where King Sangluo's corpse had fallen into the sea of blood, and three objects flew into his hand.

An ancient-looking longbow, a black staff covered in Strange Beast reliefs, and a space ring.

Every powerful cultivator carried a few treasures, more or less. But since Bai Yang had killed King Sangluo, his possessions naturally fell into Bai Yang's hands.

At a glance, Bai Yang could tell that the longbow and staff were both seventh-grade weapons. But they weren't anything special among seventh-grade weapons. They couldn't compare to Chen Yongfa's Xuanhuang Gourd or Jing Chen's Pure World Lotus Platform, and they weren't even as good as the Great Brightness Saber.

He stowed them with a flip of his hand, then glanced into King Sangluo's space ring. It held a fair amount of space and was stuffed with all sorts of odds and ends: pills, Yuan Stones, and various materials. Nothing especially valuable.

Bai Yang raised an eyebrow and took out three arrows. He recognized them as the kind King Sangluo had used to shoot down the Bone Fish. A closer look sent a shiver down his spine.

"These three arrows aren't simple. They carry a faint trace of an Earth Emperor Realm expert's aura. Either they were forged by someone at that level, or they were made using a part of such an expert. No wonder
