After Chen Miao read the details of the Starving Corpse Domain, his suspicions were confirmed.
[Status · Starving Corpse Domain] came not only from the Mountain-Bound Starveling Lord, but also incorporated the abilities of the Profound Pass Corpse Lord it had swallowed.
Although the Corpse Devourer's abilities still dominated, the Corpse Lord's contribution was far from weak.
The Starving Corpse Domain resembled Chen Miao's fusion status, the Nethermist Domain. Both could affect an entire area.
The size of that area depended on the strength of Chen Miao's own soul body.
Anyone within its range would feel hungry. This ability overlapped somewhat with Chen Miao's Hunger Plague.
But there were differences between the two.
Hunger Plague targeted a single individual. Although it could also "spread," that required a process.
The Starving Corpse Domain, however, made everyone within its range feel hungry the moment it was activated!
Still, the Starving Corpse Domain's effects differed from those produced by the Mountain-Bound Starveling Lord itself.
The hunger inflicted by the Mountain-Bound Starveling Lord persisted even after someone left its range.
With the Starving Corpse Domain, however, the hunger would slowly dissipate once someone left.
But the Corpse Devourer's power to "wither" things remained. Anyone who felt hungry within the Starving Corpse Domain would have both their flesh and soul body wither over time.
In addition, every tree within the Starving Corpse Domain would fall under Chen Miao's control as its "Corpse Devourer" after withering.
Once those withered trees touched a corpse, they would emit the same corpse qi released by the Profound Pass Corpse Lord.
Wherever the corpse qi spread, it would affect both the living and the dead.
Within the Starving Corpse Domain, Chen Miao also gained two movement abilities.
The first was the Corpse Devourer's ability to appear instantly beside a target.
