Chapter 530: Chapter 341: Casting the Treasure Body (Part 2)

The prerequisite for cultivating this Secret Technique was to be at least Tier Five and possess Spiritual Quality at the Profound Moon Level.

He had never actually cultivated the technique. However, by relying on the powerful analytical functions of his Spiritual Power, he could simulate roughly a tenth of its might just by casually scanning the Spiritual Model for the Flame of Fear.

It was said that when the true Flame of Fear was unleashed, any creature below Spiritual Tier Five without prior defenses would be instantly drained of their spiritual power.

The moment the illusory flame manifested, the face of Lin Ke, who stood beside him and had relatively weaker Spiritual Power, instantly turned pale.

The small, blue Flood Dragon wrapped around her arm looked terrified, its body trembling uncontrollably.

Hahh...

Irena stared at the flame burning quietly in Han Ning’s palm. The cyan Elemental Circuits on her cheeks instantly lit up, forming a faint Spiritual Shield in front of her.

"Such intimidating power... It’s definitely Profound Moon!" Even Irena, who came from a prestigious family, couldn’t help but look utterly astonished at the sight of the illusory spiritual flame.

She was once again stunned by the legacy Han Ning possessed.

’Not only does he have a supreme treasure that accelerates cultivation—the Heaven-Reaching Tower—but his Spiritual Meditation Technique also allows a Beast Master to achieve Profound Moon-level quality at just Tier Five.’

’All of it completely subverted the understanding she had built over more than twenty years of her life!’

"It’s not just me. It looks like you two have also made significant progress over the last few years."

Han Ning casually waved the spiritual flame away and observed the two women before him.

Irena, of course, was brimming with spiritual energy, her inner radiance contained. Compared to three years ago, she had gained a more composed and unruffled air.

He couldn’t see through Irena’s Spiritual Treasure Body, but he could peer into Lin Ke’s Spiritual World. He vaguely recalled that three years ago, Lin Ke’s Spiritual Level had just broken through to Tier Four, which was weaker than his own at the time.

Now, her Spiritual Level had likely reached about 50% of the way through Tier Four. Moreover, the Flood Dragon coiled around her wrist contained a vast, ocean-like reserve of Spiritual Energy, comparable to that of an Upper Monarch.

"It’s all thanks to your Heaven-Reaching Tower!"

When the topic of cultivation gains came up, both women’s faces lit up with joy. It was clear they were extremely satisfied with the results from the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

"As long as you’ve made progress, that’s what matters. What’s the situation like in the outside world?"

As Han Ning questioned the two women, he also checked on the growth of his own Soul Beasts.

Even without the nourishment from his Soul Beast Space or the Spiritual Energy he could draw from Subspace with his Spiritual Power, the four little ones had still grown at a delightful rate inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Through their own insights, Yin Yi and Egg Pancake had further upgraded their Domains, advancing from just breaking through to Monarch II three years ago to their current level of Monarch III.

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm was a step behind, only about five percent away from breaking through to Monarch III.

Fei Lin had successfully advanced to the Monarch Level, and her power had already reached Monarch II.

All four Soul Beasts had comprehended a Domain.

Han Ning named the Domains that Yin Yi, Egg Pancake, the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, and Fei Lin had comprehended, respectively:

Death Star Domain, Ancient Dragon Domain, Blood Prison Domain, and Dream Realm.

The Death Star Domain was somewhat similar to the Crystal Jade Domain unleashed by the Destruction Apostle. It could use starlight imbued with an aura of death to create a powerful radiation zone.

Endless Wood Attribute vines would patrol the periphery of this zone, dragging enemies from the outside and pulling them into the Domain.

The Domain was filled with Death Rays inscribed with Divine Will Models. These were new Soul Techniques formed by restructuring previous ones, such as [Starlight Flash Burst] and [Emerald Flower Thorns].

The interior was also filled with Wood Type Spikes capable of siphoning life force and Spiritual Energy. Drawing inspiration from a movie it had once seen, Yin Yi had remodeled the entire Domain to resemble the Ancient Roman Colosseum. The inside, however, functioned like a colossal Iron Maiden, relentlessly seeking out lives to harvest.

Once they reached the Monarch Level, Soul Beasts had to combine their previously learned Soul Techniques and Divine Will Models to create new techniques of their own. These new Soul Techniques were, in a way, inextricably linked to their Domains.

A Domain... could also be described as a combination of multiple Soul Techniques and Talents.

Egg Pancake’s Domain was simpler and more direct. It could switch between three modes: Ancient Sacred Beast Domain, Giant Dragon Domain, and Ancient Dragon Domain.

The Ancient Sacred Beast Domain pushed its physical Power to the absolute limit, allowing it to deliver a destructive blow capable of sinking a continent.

The Giant Dragon Domain was more versatile, focusing on controlling complex Gravity Fields and manipulating rocks and flames infused with Dragon Power for mid- to long-range attacks.

As for the third form, the Ancient Dragon Domain, it wasn’t a large-scale concept. After some refinement by Egg Pancake, the Domain was transformed into a miniature version that existed only between its claws.

With a single swipe, the terrifying Domain hidden within its claws would erupt, instantly dragging the enemy into a zone of destructive power and complex Force Fields without affecting the outside world.

The Blood Prison Domain possessed both offensive and healing properties.

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm could erupt with the power of its own flesh and blood, forming a raging sea of blood within a certain radius. Any allied Soul Beasts within this sea would receive a threefold enhancement to their spirit, Spiritual Energy, and physical bodies.

For enemies, however, this Blood Qi became a deadly poison. The Blood Qi particles would burrow into their bodies like venomous parasites, corrupting their minds, converting them into allies, and then gradually spreading to other creatures.

What surprised Han Ning the most was that the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm could even imitate the Domains of other Soul Beasts. Of course, imitating a Domain was on a completely different level of difficulty than imitating a Soul Technique; it all depended on the Silkworm’s degree of comprehension.

Fei Lin’s Dream Realm was even more unique. In Han Ning’s eyes, it was the strangest of his four Soul Beasts’ Domains—and in some ways, the most terrifying.

It could actually overlap with the Spirit Realm. When Fei Lin and the Star Dream Unicorn were inside the Domain, their bodies could travel freely between the two realms. The Star Gate Unicorn’s powerful Telekinesis expanded the Domain’s range. According to Fei Lin, it could currently cover an area almost the size of Night Nether City.

A single Night Nether City was roughly several thousand square kilometers.

The minds of all creatures within the Domain would be affected by the Spirit Realm and the Star Gate Unicorn’s Telekinesis, causing them to fall into a deep slumber.

Inside the Domain, Fei Lin’s speed was nearly equivalent to Instant Teleportation. Combined with her mastery of burst-type Gold Soul Techniques, one could only imagine how terrifying it would be once fully developed.

Even the threat level of Egg Pancake’s Ancient Dragon Domain was likely a step below it.

It was precisely because of this uniqueness that even after three years, Fei Lin’s comprehension of her Domain was still at the Entry Level, and she struggled to break through to Monarch III.

The little ones all started sending Spiritual Messages at once, chattering excitedly.

Han Ning got the gist of it, gaining a basic understanding of the Domains they had developed and mastered on their own. He would have to wait for a real opponent to test their actual effects.

Irena, who was standing before him, began to speak.

"We’ve been inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower this whole time, so we don’t really know what’s happening outside. However, by my estimation, three years should have been enough time to weed out the weaker contestants. Most of those who are left should have some real strength, have probably gathered enough points, and have already entered the true Sea God Palace for the final trial."

Lin Ke added,

"You have to meet the point requirement to enter the Sea God Palace. The entry pass is the Escape Bubble, which automatically records the creatures you’ve killed. The final area inside the palace should be where the trial’s ultimate treasure is located. Brother Ning, if you want to find a new high-Talent Soul Beast, you need to hurry and collect points to head to the Sea God Palace now!"

"Before we came here, I heard an elder from my family mention that the first-place winner of this trial will receive Vilornox—an A-Talent Soul Beast that the entire Deep Sea Race only produces once every 300 years!"

"Vilornox?"

Hearing the awkward, complex name, Han Ning asked with confusion,

"What kind of Soul Beast is it exactly?"
