Undead Demiplane

But even after that soul power had completely dissolved, Chen Tianyuan's Sea of Consciousness kept cracking, showing no sign of stopping.

Electrolux instantly understood why. The soul power aura that had leaked out earlier had already exposed his location, allowing the world's will to lock onto him. Only by making his aura vanish completely could he escape this calamity.

The next second, Electrolux chanted an incantation. A magic circle covered in intricate inscriptions appeared beneath him, and a pitch-black spatial rift materialized in the room. The instant it appeared, it began devouring vast amounts of the soul power inside.

Controlling Chen Tianyuan's body, Electrolux leaped into it. Once he entered, the spatial rift instantly sealed itself, as though it had never existed.

On the other side of the spatial rift lay a strange world.

This world was dimly lit, with a distorted sun of black light hanging in the sky. The air was bitterly cold, laden with the smell of dampness and decay.

Scorched earth stretched as far as the eye could see. Plants withered, trees stood desiccated, and the entire world seemed to have died.

Not far away, an enormous creature flew through the air. A closer look revealed that it was a stark-white skeletal dragon, without a scrap of flesh or skin on its body.

It flew aimlessly, occasionally chasing the skeletal creatures running across the ground. These creatures had human forms, but likewise lacked even an inch of flesh or skin. Ghostly blue flames burned in their empty eye sockets, illuminating their shriveled skulls and making the dim surroundings feel oppressive and chilling.

This was not the Douluo Continent, but a small world independent of the world outside, known as the Undead Demiplane.

Having lost its target, the terrifying assault finally stopped, and Chen Tianyuan's Sea of Consciousness ceased cracking.

Electrolux guided the vitality emanating from the gold of life, stitching Chen Tianyuan's fractured Sea of Consciousness back together like a chief surgeon seasoned on the battlefield. Had such an attack struck before Chen Tianyuan fused with the gold of life, even Electrolux could not have saved him.

This attack had come from the plane's will. Douluo Star's planar will would not permit soul power that violated its laws to exist in the world, so it had exercised its authority to attack Chen Tianyuan.

Fortunately, the Golden Ancient Tree had shielded Chen Tianyuan from most of it. The portion that reached him was negligible, yet even that had nearly killed him.

Deep within Douluo Star, a burly man with rugged features frowned. He raised his head, his gaze piercing countless obstructions before finally settling on a dreamlike place veiled in clouds and mist.

There stood a man wearing blue robes patterned with gold. His face was as fair as jade, and his long azure hair flowed behind him, stirring without a breeze. His deep eyes betrayed no emotion, and a golden trident emblem shimmered with divine radiance between his brows.

He was none other than Sea God Tang San, who had ascended to the Divine Realm ten thousand years ago.

He could truly be said to have done every good deed imaginable, including overthrowing Spirit Hall, destroying Slaughter City, and concealing the mortal world from the Divine Realm's perception...

He hovered above the clouds, with towering palaces looming faintly behind him. The soft, multicolored light in the air blurred his figure, but his movements were still clear from his silhouette alone.

Enthroned upon a sea of clouds, looking down on the mortal world-what a lofty God King he was.

Under Electrolux's control, the gold of life released vast quantities of vitality. This vitality acted directly upon Chen Tianyuan's Sea of Consciousness, repairing the tiny cracks left after it had been stitched together. Vitality poured ceaselessly into those gaps, like Jingwei filling the sea. Progress was slow, but once it was complete, Chen Tianyuan's Sea of Consciousness would fully recover and could even grow stronger.

But misfortunes never came alone. The already unstable purple-gold soul power inside Chen Tianyuan collapsed at that moment. The two forcibly fused streams of soul power split apart, becoming ultimate lightning soul power and ultimate light soul power.

Yet this was not the interior of the Golden Ancient Tree. This was a world of the undead, filled with nothing but the aura of death.

His ultimate light soul power would once again be naturally suppressed. The same was true of ultimate lightning, but that was Chen Tianyuan's own soul power, not something that had poured in from outside.

The ultimate lightning soul power and ultimate light soul power collided inside Chen Tianyuan once more. Neither would yield, and naturally, Chen Tianyuan was the one who suffered. His meridians had already widened when he fused with the gold of life, but they swelled again under the collision of the two powers. Unless this was stopped, his meridians would inevitably rupture.

Electrolux knitted his brows. While controlling the vitality to repair the Sea of Consciousness, he used his immense spiritual power to intervene in the collision between the two streams of soul power.

His spiritual power acted like an invisible wall, separating the two streams within Chen Tianyuan's meridians.

For a moment, Chen Tianyuan's entire body lit up. His head glowed emerald green, the left side of his body shone silvery purple, and the right side gleamed golden yellow.

Three utterly different auras coexisted within Chen Tianyuan. Fortunately, his physical constitution far surpassed that of soul masters at his level, and he had also absorbed the vitality released by the gold of life. Otherwise, the clash between the two streams of soul power would already have killed him.

With the intervention of Electrolux's spiritual power, the three utterly different energies inside Chen Tianyuan settled down.

The light and life elements were both exceptionally gentle energies. Fusing them would cause no problems and would even make them stronger. But ultimate lightning, as a symbol of destruction, was the most violent element in the world. No matter what soul power it fused with, it would always be the dominant force.

Chen Tianyuan had absorbed so much of the light element that his martial soul had already changed, but Electrolux could not concern himself with that now.

Taking advantage of the two streams of soul power settling down, he devoted his full attention to repairing Chen Tianyuan's Sea of Consciousness.

Pain, pain, pain!

Chen Tianyuan felt as though his head was splitting apart, while waves of pain surged through his meridians as if flames were scorching them.

He wanted to open his eyes, but he could not control his body. Like a wandering, lonely soul trapped inside a jar, he found only pitch-black darkness in his mind. He tried to contact Electrolux, but could not make a sound...

The stabbing pain in his brain and the throbbing in his meridians left him unbearably agitated. Like a dull knife slicing flesh, they tormented him without end.

Am I going to die?

Doesn't your life flash before your eyes before you die?

Just as Chen Tianyuan's thoughts were running wild, Electrolux's voice rang out in his mind.

"You're still alive. You only came close to dying."

Hearing Electrolux's icy voice, Chen Tianyuan finally felt his taut nerves relax.

The next second, he entered his own Sea of Consciousness. It was now perfectly intact, as though those terrifying cracks had never existed.

Having consumed too much spiritual power, Electrolux's figure looked somewhat insubstantial. He said, "Until you have sufficient strength, stop courting death. Otherwise, even I may not be able to save you."
