Because of what had happened with his Second Soul Ring,
Liu Yuan knew without even having to think that his Third Soul Ring would be even more powerful.
That made him extremely excited. In his eagerness, he summoned his Third Soul Ring, intending to test his Third Soul Skill.
But when the God of Death saw this, he couldn't help finding it both amusing and exasperating.
"This kid really can't wait. The Soul Ring is yours. It's not going anywhere. What's the rush?"
Liu Yuan directly summoned his Third Soul Ring. The ring behind him then began to shine, and the skill of his Third Soul Ring activated.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of thunderous sounds rang out.
Then, centered on Liu Yuan, a terrifying Power of Death suddenly surged through a vast area with a radius of two hundred meters.
At that moment, Liu Yuan could see that the entire area was filled with dark, murky Death Qi. Of course, no one else could see it. Only he could see and sense this Death Qi. The others didn't even realize they had stepped into Liu Yuan's Domain.
Moreover, Liu Yuan discovered that after using this Third Soul Skill, he was aware of every movement in the area covered by his Death Qi.
Even standing still, he didn't need to use his eyes. By relying solely on his senses, he could tell whenever anything moved anywhere in the area.
"This is... a Domain?"
"An enhanced sense of perception?"
Liu Yuan grew excited on the spot.
After all, this was a Domain!
Domains were extremely rare on the Douluo Continent.
For example, the Blue Silver Domain of the Blue Silver Emperor, the Divine Slaughter's Domain of the Asura God, and the Angel Domain of the Angel God.
These were all renowned Domains on the Douluo Continent.
It was fair to say that on the Douluo Continent, not every powerhouse possessed a Domain, but anyone who did was unquestionably a powerhouse.
But that wasn't even what shocked Liu Yuan the most.
What shocked him most was that this was only his Third Soul Ring.
Normally, a Soul Ring capable of granting a Domain would have to be at least the Sixth Soul Ring.
Tang San's Blue Silver Domain, for instance, was a skill from his Sixth Soul Ring.
Qian Renxue's Angel Domain was probably similar.
But Liu Yuan?
He was only on his Third Soul Ring, and he already had a Domain?
How was that even possible?
What kind of absurd skills would his later Soul Rings grant him, then?
At the thought, Liu Yuan grew eager to find out what skills his later Soul Rings would have.
But the God of Death gave him an exasperated look.
"What enhanced sense of perception? This is the Death Domain. That so-called enhanced perception you mentioned is just an extremely, extremely weak skill that comes with it."
"If my Death Domain were really that weak, I'd be finished."
The God of Death spoke to Liu Yuan with some displeasure.
"Keep your Domain active and focus on sensing the flow of Soul Power within your body."
Liu Yuan immediately did as he was told.
But the moment he tried it, he was in for a shock.
Liu Yuan suddenly discovered that with the Death Domain active, the total amount of Soul Power in his body had nearly doubled.
On top of that, he was using up and losing far less Soul Power. Liu Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
"Does this mean that with the Death Domain active, my strength has increased by at least twofold?"
The God of Death nodded proudly.
"Of course!"
"And the Death Domain can do far more than that!"
"Besides enhancing your own abilities, it can also greatly weaken your enemies."
"As long as an enemy is within your Death Domain, all of their abilities are reduced by forty percent, and the Soul Power they use when activating Soul Skills is doubled."
"What's more, if you're on a battlefield, or if there are corpses or souls of the dead nearby, you can use the power of the Death Domain to make them serve you."
"That is what makes the Death Domain truly powerful!"
The God of Death explained its powers to Liu Yuan one by one.
After hearing the God of Death's explanation, Liu Yuan was completely stunned.
As someone who had crossed over into this world, he had seen all kinds of powerful Domains, including the Blue Silver Domain, Divine Slaughter's Domain, and Angel Domain.
But compared to his Death Domain, those Domains were absolute trash.
Liu Yuan's Domain could take on several of theirs at once.
It was simply too powerful!
He quickly resumed accepting the inheritance.
After seeing several times just how generous the God of Death's inheritance rewards were,
Liu Yuan grew incredibly eager for more.
He had barely gotten started, and the rewards were already so generous. If he kept accepting the inheritance, his Soul Bones might even end up far surpassing the divine armor of the other gods!
So now he wanted to complete the inheritance as quickly as possible, further increase his strength, and then show that damned Tang San and Yu Xiaogang just how terrifying the power of their new God of Death really was.
Liu Yuan continued to work hard over the next few days.
Meanwhile, elsewhere,
After successfully hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Forest, Tang San returned to Shrek Academy and went straight to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang hadn't gone with them to the Star Dou Forest this time. He had stayed at Shrek Academy.
So although Tang San had been curious the whole way back about the Soul Bone he had acquired, he had no one to ask.
Now that he was back at Shrek, he could have Yu Xiaogang explain it to him.
As soon as Tang San returned to Shrek Academy, he went directly to find Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher, look. I got this thing when I obtained my Soul Ring. What is it?"
Tang San told Yu Xiaogang everything that had happened, from beginning to end.
After hearing Tang San's account, Yu Xiaogang grew incredibly excited as well.
"Xiao San, this is an External Soul Bone!"
"Every Soul Master on the Douluo Continent dreams of finding one!"
"These can only be obtained while absorbing Soul Rings, and the chances of getting one are incredibly low—not even one in ten thousand."
"And yet you got one... You really are the chosen one!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke to Tang San, overjoyed.
He was absolutely delighted.
Ever since he had failed to win Liu Yuan over that day and had instead chosen to bury him alive, Yu Xiaogang had deeply regretted it. He felt he had lost a valuable pawn.
But now Tang San had surprised him so much.
He suddenly felt that Tang San wasn't bad either!
Not only was Tang San completely loyal, but he also had tremendous talent and luck.
Take this External Soul Bone, for example. If he weren't the chosen one, how could he possibly have obtained such a treasure?
Compared to him, Liu Yuan was nothing!
At that thought, Yu Xiaogang felt much better.
Though he hadn't managed to win Liu Yuan over, he still had someone even better in Tang San. That was fine with him!
