Li Dalong's Primordial Spirit Dao Technique, 'Soul Calamity', was not a Dao Technique that focused on direct slaughter.
[Primordial Spirit Dao Technique: Soul Calamity]
[Use the Dao Technique to summon a dead soul and lock onto the enemy's aura. While the opponent is cultivating, it will gradually see through their divine soul. When the opponent's Dao Heart wavers, it causes the dead soul to act like a poison and gradually corrode their divine soul, until the dead soul has spread throughout their entire soul. This can result in a one-hit kill or cause the opponent's cultivation base to regress.]
This kind of Dao Technique was extremely terrifying. It could silently kill an enemy over a hundred or even a thousand years; as long as the opponent showed a moment of weakness, it could even slay a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation realm. However, it was not a combat-oriented Dao Technique.
Now that Li Dalong had used 'Soul Calamity', its greatest effect was merely to enhance the combat power of the dead souls and zombies he controlled a little, and that was all.
"Lei Dong, this is a life-and-death duel; you must not interfere."
Outside the battlefield, Luo Xing saw the killing intent appearing on Lei Dong's body and immediately furrowed his brow. "There is no benefit in it."
"But, Lord Luo Xing..."
How could Lei Dong not see that Li Dalong was already at a disadvantage? But looking at Luo Xing's serious expression, he could only be secretly anxious. If Li Dalong were truly killed by Soul Duke, Luo Xing wouldn't even furrow his brow; he would only conclude that Soul Duke's value was greater than Li Dalong's!
The battle lasted for a full day.
Li Dalong, within the Domain, was riddled with wounds, and Lei Dong felt as if a hundred ants were scratching at his heart.
Soul Duke laughed wildly. "Li Dalong, hahaha, you should regret your arrogance! If you and Lei Dong had struck together, I would still have respected you somewhat, but you chose to fight alone. And now, within this Sacred Spirit Domain of mine, there will be yet another spirit body!"
He was excited to the extreme!
What he had feared most was that Li Dalong's Primordial Spirit Dao Technique would be powerful in direct combat. But he never expected that after they had truly clashed, he would discover that Li Dalong's Primordial Spirit Dao Technique was actually the kind that affects the soul over time.
He was also afraid of Li Dalong's Heaven-Piercing Coffin, but apart from being durable enough, that coffin had not displayed any other techniques.
Soul Duke had even managed to probe the inside of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin and concluded that it was fundamentally just a Dharma Treasure used to assist in cultivation!
And moreover...
"Hand over your coffin and let it recognize me as its master! Your coffin and I are the true perfect match!"
Soul Duke's face was full of delight. His Immortal-Slaying Chain whipped out, striking Li Dalong's chest, and Li Dalong's Primordial Spirit was almost blasted out of his body.
While manipulating the Immortal-Slaying Chain, he also used his Primordial Spirit Shamanistic Technique and shouted towards the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, "Artifact Spirit, can you not feel it? My Sacred Spirit Domain contains the spirit bodies I have accumulated over thirty thousand years, and you are also a Dharma Treasure for creating zombies and ghosts!"
"Follow me! It was only because of you that he broke through the fifth-grade Heavenly Tribulation to become a Divinity Transformation expert. He is nothing more than a piece of trash with mediocre aptitude! But I am different. Together, our hearts and minds as one, I can break through to the Void Refining realm!"
However, his words did not make the Heaven-Piercing Coffin respond. The coffin once again moved to shield Li Dalong.
This made Soul Duke furious. He even sensed... disdain... in the aura of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin?
"You're courting death! Once your master is dead, let's see how long you will remain sealed in dust!"
Soul Duke once again used his Primordial Spirit Shamanistic Technique.
However, at this very moment.
His face changed. He saw only that Li Dalong was hunched over, and then he suddenly raised his head. Even though he had been injured many times and his Primordial Spirit already had several cracks in it, and even though the zombies and ghosts that had been released from the Heaven-Piercing Coffin were all being destroyed, yet Li Dalong's gaze was still resolute.
The corners of his bleeding mouth were even turned slightly upwards in a faint smile.
Li Dalong's voice rang out within the clashing Domains.
"Its name is the Heaven-Piercing Coffin."
"What?"
Soul Duke was stunned for a moment; he had not heard Li Dalong's voice clearly.
Li Dalong suddenly shouted, "I said, its name is the Heaven-Piercing Coffin! It has followed me for over two hundred years, and from the very beginning, it knew my aptitude wasn't anything special. Yet he still followed me. Do you know why?"
Soul Duke did not answer Li Dalong's question; he also did not know how to answer.
But at this moment, Soul Duke's heart was trembling. He felt fear, and he saw Li Dalong's mocking smile!
"Because it recognizes only me!"
Li Dalong let out a great roar.
His name is Li Dalong, and ever since the Foundation Establishment stage, he has been continuously breaking through barriers within the Heaven-Piercing Coffin!
No one knew how many times he had died within the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, and no one knew how he had passed its trials, layer by layer.
The Heaven-Piercing Coffin had accompanied him for over two hundred years.
Even during these years with the Wu Clan, it had still continued to obey his commands.
The Heaven-Piercing Coffin had witnessed his growth, and he, in turn, had witnessed the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, in his hands, transform bit by bit from a sealed Artifact into the Dharma Treasure with a powerful aura that it was today!
And moreover...
Following Li Dalong's cold shout, the lid of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin opened, and a boundless deathly Qi spilled out from within!
"Impossible!"
Soul Duke's face changed drastically, and he abruptly retreated backward. Even the speed of his Immortal-Slaying Chain faltered for a moment.
Following that.
A figure full of deathly Qi emerged from within the Heaven-Piercing Coffin!
As this graceful figure slowly opened its pitch-black eyes, even someone as composed as Luo Xing cried out in alarm.
"Moon God?"
"When did you refine Moon God into a zombie?!!"
