Tiger Soul Domain
The [White Tiger] Martial Soul had been completed and promoted to the [Evil Eye White Tiger] Martial Soul.
And the White Tiger Martial Soul could, through continuously improving itself, ultimately be promoted to the god-level Evil-Eyed White Tiger Holy King Martial Soul.
This was indeed wonderful news, well worth celebrating.
However, completing and promoting his First Martial Soul was no easy matter. Although Dai Mubai already had a preliminary plan in mind, it was not something he could accomplish in a single step.
It was impossible to finish in a short time.
Rather than fantasize about his First Martial Soul, which might become the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Holy King at who knew what time,
Dai Mubai was undoubtedly more interested in the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, a ready-made god-level Second Martial Soul.
At present, only two god-level Martial Souls were known on the entire Douluo Continent: the [Sea God] and the [Six-Winged Angel]. Although each had its own distinctive qualities,
both Martial Souls were incomparably powerful and extraordinarily wondrous.
Dai Mubai's Second Martial Soul, the [Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul], was also a god-level Martial Soul, so he was naturally very curious about it.
He put away his First Martial Soul, the [Evil Eye White Tiger], and immersed his thoughts and spiritual power in his Second Martial Soul, the [Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul].
From the feedback he received from his Martial Soul, Dai Mubai immediately understood just how powerful the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Martial Soul was.
"Should I say it's worthy of being a god-level Martial Soul?" The Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul was even stronger than Dai Mubai had imagined. Even though he had expected much of it, he was still given quite a shock.
First, god-level Martial Souls came with their own domains. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, for example, came with the [Angel Domain].
As a god-level Martial Soul, Dai Mubai's Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Martial Soul also came with a domain of its own, called the "Tiger Soul Domain."
[Tiger Soul Domain]: When deployed, the domain enhanced the user's presence, allowing the user to exert 110 percent of their strength. Enemies enveloped by the domain would be intimidated by the user's presence and the Chang Ghost Demonic Soul within the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, weakening their strength by ten percent.
The Tiger Soul Domain was also filled with sinister demonic Qi and Chang Ghost Demonic Souls.
Anyone enveloped by the domain would have their willpower continuously eroded and their mind forcibly disrupted, while their defensive capabilities would be greatly reduced.
Not only was the domain tremendously powerful, but its ability to absorb demonic Qi and evil Qi and devour and enslave Chang Ghost Demonic Souls to enhance its power also gave it enormous potential for growth.
Boosting one's own strength and suppressing and weakening the enemy were standard abilities for a domain, nothing special.
But the Tiger Soul Domain could bolster its user's presence and diminish the enemy's. It could even continuously erode an opponent's willpower and forcibly disrupt their mind while they were enveloped by the domain, as well as greatly reduce their defensive capabilities.
That was both extremely practical and extremely powerful in combat.
Of course, what surprised Dai Mubai most, and what he valued most, was the Tiger Soul Domain's capacity for growth.
The Tiger Soul Domain could absorb demonic Qi and evil Qi, devour souls, and enslave ghostly thralls to increase its power, allowing it to grow continuously.
"If I can devour the souls of those Soul Beasts and turn them into demonic souls, in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, where Soul Beasts gather and large numbers of them die every moment;"
"The [Slaughter City], where the Asura God's inheritance is located, is filled with evil thoughts, wicked desires, and the Qi of slaughter. If I can absorb all that evil Qi and wicked desire;"
"In the future, Spirit Hall will launch the Soul Hunting Operation and bathe the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, two of the Upper Three Sects, in blood.
"If I can devour the souls of the fallen members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the fallen disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and turn them into Demonic Soul Chang Ghosts;"
"In the future, Spirit Hall will establish the Spirit Hall Empire and declare war on both the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires to unite the Douluo Continent, leading to a bloody, brutal battle at Jialing Pass.
"If I can devour the souls of the soldiers of the Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall Empires who fall in the battle at Jialing Pass and turn them into Demonic Soul Chang Ghosts;"
"..."
"By then, my Tiger Soul Domain would probably be strong beyond all bounds."
At the thought that his Tiger Soul Domain actually possessed such terrifying potential for growth, Dai Mubai's heart burned with excitement.
Besides, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul did more than come with the [Tiger Soul Domain].
The [Sea God] Martial Soul could absorb seawater and turn it into its own Soul Power, as well as command and draw on the power of the sea for its own use;
and the [Six-Winged Angel] came with the sacred and fire attributes.
The sacred attribute made the Angel Martial Soul's Soul Power pure, sacred energy. Not only did it have a purifying and dissolving effect, but it also suppressed and countered evil Martial Souls and evil energy.
The fire attribute allowed a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul user soaring through the sky to absorb the power of the sun and condense the sun's true fire.
As a fellow god-level Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul also possessed quite a few other powerful abilities in addition to the Tiger Soul Domain.
First, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul came with the darkness and evil attributes.
Second, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul also possessed three major abilities: [Intimidation, Demonization, and Devouring].
The tiger was the king of all beasts, a symbol of ferocity, might, strength, and kingly authority.
Although tiger-type Soul Beasts were not the most powerful group of Soul Beasts on the Douluo Continent-that distinction belonged to dragon-type Soul Beasts-
a tiger's might was not to be underestimated, even if it did not necessarily match a dragon's.
In particular, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul was a god-level Martial Soul, and the demonic tiger's might it contained was not a whit weaker than a dragon's might at the same level-
And because the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul possessed the unmatched might of a demonic tiger, Dai Mubai could use Tiger Soul's might to intimidate his opponents and weaken their strength when he released the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Martial Soul in battle.
If he released his domain and added the power of the Tiger Soul Domain on top of that,
weaker opponents would probably have their muscles and bones crushed inch by inch under the pressure of his presence, coughing up blood and dying on the spot without Dai Mubai even needing to lift a hand.
The second ability was [Demonization].
That one needed little explanation. In the Shen Bing Xiao Jiang animation, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul had originally possessed the ability to demonize divine weapon beasts, turning them into demonic weapon beasts and controlling and enslaving them.
Although the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul had now become Dai Mubai's Martial Soul, that did not mean it had lost this powerful ability.
As the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, he needed to build a following of his own and compete for the position of heir to the Star Luo Empire's throne.
The [Demonization] ability of his Second Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul-or rather, its abilities of hypnosis, bewitchment, enslavement, and manipulation-would be of enormous help to him.
However, compared with [Intimidation and Demonization],
what Dai Mubai valued most was the third ability that came with the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul: [Devouring].
The Tiger Soul Domain could devour evil Qi and demonic Qi, as well as devour souls and turn them into Chang Ghost Demonic Souls to make the domain grow.
Likewise, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul's innate Devouring ability could devour flesh and blood, souls, Soul Power... and, after refining and purifying them, feed them back to the Soul Master.
These could be used to nourish and temper the Soul Master's body, raise the Soul Master's Soul Power cultivation level, or even serve as nourishment to cultivate Soul Rings and Soul Bones and increase their age.
It had to be remembered that, apart from receiving a blessing during a God's Test,
there was generally no way to increase the age of a Soul Ring or Soul Bone after acquiring it, with the exception of External Soul Bones.
And the ages of Soul Rings and Soul Bones were closely tied to the Soul Skills they provided and the Soul Master's strength and combat power.
To gain formidable strength and combat power, Soul Masters sought those of a high age when attaching Soul Rings and fusing Soul Bones.
Even though compatibility was also important, Soul Masters generally placed greater weight on age, and the further they progressed, the more they valued it.
