Peerless Domain

The Green Steel Sword fell back into Ling Chen's hand, still trembling incessantly.

Even while embedded in the rock wall of the Hell Road, Ling Chen's Dragon Pillar Space continued to inject Martial Soul Origin into it.

Just now, when Ling Chen touched the corpse of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, he only obtained the Martial Soul Origin and did not strip away its Soul Ring.

Ling Chen was not too surprised; the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King he had killed earlier was also a special case, and Ling Chen did not expect to gain benefits from them.

The inner core of a Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent was already enough. It was just a pity that the 130,000 points of Martial Soul Origin he had painstakingly saved were instantly reduced to only 30,000.

Even after absorbing the Martial Soul Origin of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, he had barely reached 40,000 points, which made Ling Chen feel an inexplicable anxiety.

According to the consumption rate of strengthening his Martial Soul, Ling Chen estimated that for every subsequent enhancement, the required Martial Soul Origin would increase tenfold.

The next enhancement would require one million points of Martial Soul Origin, but Ling Chen had left Slaughter City, making it difficult to obtain such resources in the future.

Of course, the more Martial Soul Origin consumed for strengthening, the greater the power the Green Steel Sword would display. Just looking at its ability to block and break weapons, one could tell how great the future potential of the Green Steel Sword was.

Just then, the three people's Martial Souls instantly pointed toward each other, and three strands of killing intent intertwined.

Tang San was the first to regain his senses, his Blue Silver Domain rapidly enveloping Ling Chen and Hu Liena.

The two then slowly came to their senses and lowered their weapons; Ling Chen glanced at Hu Liena.

"Your killing intent seems to be uncontrollable. My suggestion is to knock you unconscious and let Tang Yin carry you out."

The scarlet in Hu Liena's eyes temporarily faded, and she looked at Ling Chen with a wary expression.

"Li Tianyi, among us, you are the one with the heaviest killing intent! Although I have killed countless people in these two years, my killing intent is not as dense as yours..."

Ling Chen was stunned. Was it? He had only been in this Slaughter City for three months, and he hadn't killed that many people, had he?

If calculated at 50 points of Martial Soul Origin per person, excluding the corpses he scavenged for free, he had only killed about 2,000 people.

It seemed he had indeed killed more than Hu Liena and the others, yet he could not feel that surging killing intent within himself. Furthermore, Ling Chen did not even know what was going on with his own bizarre perception of killing intent.

But then again, Ling Chen knew that Hu Liena would not be able to hold on, so rather than discussing it with her, it was better to act directly.

Ling Chen moved with great speed; with a light tap of the sword hilt, Hu Liena fell into a peaceful sleep.

Tang San did not say much. Just a moment ago, when the domain was not yet active, Ling Chen had only looked somewhat manic but was still able to maintain his sanity.

However, Hu Liena seemed to have reached her limit; the closer they got to the exit, the more the mist disturbed their minds. Knocking her out seemed like a decent solution.

"Let's go!"

Ling Chen took a long iron chain from his Soul Tool, tied it to the still-trembling Green Steel Sword, and fastened the other end securely to himself.

The two moved rapidly under the cover of the Blue Silver Domain, and before long, they saw an exit emitting a white light.

What followed was a familiar scene: Tang San threw the Blood Swan Kiss into the Yellow Spring Dew, turning the chronic poison into a lethal one.

At this moment, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King had fully regenerated and was pursuing them.

Tang San wrapped his Blue Silver Grass around the Flying God Claw and leaped up, unfolding his Eight Spider Soul Bone.

Because he was carrying another person, the Flying God Claw could not reach the target, so Tang San used his Purple Demon Divine Light to strike the magma; utilizing the recoil force generated by the massive magma fire column, he successfully reached the exit.

Ling Chen's method was simpler and more brutal. Swinging the Green Steel Sword like a meteor hammer, Ling Chen threw it with all his might, and the sword flew toward the exit.

The Green Steel Sword, having left his hands, flew out like a shooting star, carrying Ling Chen along with it.

The Green Steel Sword pierced through the trunks of several trees, its power undiminished. Ling Chen, being dragged along, planted his feet against a tree trunk and finally came to a stop.

As soon as the three left the exit, Hu Liena and Tang San obtained the Slaughter God's Domain they had dreamed of. Conversely, Ling Chen's domain seemed different from theirs.

Ling Chen did not immediately reveal it; obtaining a domain at the age of six was already heaven-defying. A genius who exposed their strength too much would only meet an early death!

His domain was somewhat special; it was an absolute control where he was invincible amidst endless slaughter, just like the Peerless Under Heaven status of Lu Bu or Zhao Yun!

The domains of Tang San and Hu Liena collided, and Hu Liena walked toward Tang San in an enchanting manner.

After a simple expression of gratitude, Hu Liena developed feelings for Tang San, yet she dared not express them.

Ling Chen seized the opportunity and emerged from the woods.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you already forgotten about your partner so quickly?"

Ling Chen's appearance only caused Tang San and Hu Liena to exchange a glance before they walked toward him.

"That's not it, but I wonder how a little brat like you managed to get into this Slaughter City?"

Since the three had already left that hellish place, and given their previous cooperation, there was still a degree of mutual trust between them.

Ling Chen coughed twice and squeezed out two words.

"Secret!"

He hadn't figured out how to explain this issue yet; the matter of transmigrating was not something one could just tell anyone.

Tang San looked calm; he had his own secrets as well. Especially since his mask had vanished, and Hu Liena had not recognized him.

Hu Liena looked Ling Chen over and seemed to discover some incredible problem.

"You don't seem to have any soul power on you, and you haven't even awakened a Martial Soul! Then where did that sword Martial Soul of yours come from?"

Hu Liena's words left even Tang San somewhat shocked. Throughout their journey, Ling Chen had swept across all directions relying on that sword Martial Soul.

For Hu Liena to say now that he had no Martial Soul was simply inconceivable.

Ling Chen curled his lip; why did they only ask questions that were so difficult for him to answer? Couldn't they just ask where he was headed?

"That's simple. As long as you take me to awaken my martial soul, the answers will naturally reveal themselves."

Ling Chen was no fool; he was not a six-year-old child. This adventure in Slaughter City was, to him, more of a tempering of his temperament.

Hu Liena pondered for a moment. Although she was the Saintess of Martial Soul Hall, bringing a six-year-old child and trying to convince the people of Martial Soul Hall that he was a genius felt a bit like pulling strings.

Tang San, however, became interested. He had already gained some understanding of the power of the Green Steel Sword, but what was even more terrifying was Ling Chen's own strength.

To throw the sword with the weight of a Clear Sky Hammer, embedding it into the ground until only the hilt remained visible—such strength could no longer be described merely as that of a prodigy.

Tang San still hoped to bring this little fellow to Shrek Academy; aside from his somewhat wild ideas, the monster's strength was not to be underestimated.

"Since you gifted me the inner core of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, I should help you awaken your martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen nodded in satisfaction.

After parting ways with Hu Liena and walking for a short while, Ling Chen called out to Tang San.

"Brother Yin, can you spar with me? I want to test my domain."

Tang San paused in his tracks, having almost forgotten about this. Ling Chen had also emerged from Slaughter City, so he should also possess a Slaughter God's Domain.

As it happened, he also wanted to test this child's domain.

"How do you want to fight?"

"No need to go all out; a simple clash of martial souls will suffice."

Ling Chen spoke bluntly, the Green Steel Sword already appearing in his hand.

"Very well!"

As soon as Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer appeared, he immediately charged toward Ling Chen.

"Peerless Under Heaven!"

Ling Chen unleashed his Peerless Domain; it was not large, covering only a few meters around him.

Tang San's Slaughter God's Domain instantly enveloped Ling Chen, yet his Slaughter God's Domain had no effect on Ling Chen whatsoever.

On the contrary, as Ling Chen engaged Tang San in combat, the range of his Peerless Domain continued to expand, steadily increasing the all-around buffs to himself while simultaneously suppressing Tang San's abilities in every aspect.

It seemed that with every collision and every exchange, Ling Chen's overall combat power rose by a notch, while Tang San's overall combat power was weakened by a fraction.
