At the same time.
Slaughter City.
After five days of deep meditation.
The Slaughter Domain around Ye Feng had nearly condensed into a tangible form, resembling countless tendrils of black mist that completely enveloped both him and the room he was in.
The range of his Aura Field had expanded to a radius of three hundred meters, and within this area, no Fallen One dared to approach.
The essence of an Aura Field was an energy field. When Ye Feng's comprehension of the laws of slaughter reached a certain level, such a field naturally formed around his body.
An Aura Field was chaotic, indiscriminate between friend and foe.
But if one could fully control their Aura Field and allow it to undergo a transformation, it would evolve into what was known as a Domain!
A Domain belonged entirely to its wielder, completely under their control. It could distinguish between allies and enemies, suppressing foes while empowering allies.
This was the fundamental difference between the two.
At this moment, Ye Feng's Aura Field had accumulated to an immense scale.
What he needed to do now was to fully master it!
"Condense!"
Suddenly, Ye Feng let out a low shout.
In the next instant, all the Slaughter Domain within a three-hundred-meter radius began collapsing inward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom—"
The terrifying pressure instantly reduced the house Ye Feng was in to rubble.
However, this pressure meant nothing to him.
Soon, the three-hundred-meter Aura Field continued shrinking—down to a hundred meters, then fifty, then ten!
Finally, the vast Aura Field transformed into a tiny black bead, only half a centimeter in diameter, resting quietly in Ye Feng's palm.
Ye Feng closed his fingers around it gently.
"Crack…"
A faint, crisp sound echoed as the black bead shattered—yet nothing seemed to happen…
Ye Feng's hair remained still.
An invisible Domain, centered around Ye Feng, expanded outward in all directions.
Formless, soundless, and intangible.
Yet carrying an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"Slaughter Domain… achieved."
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
After briefly assessing it, he found that the Slaughter Domain had three primary effects:
1.
Weakening enemies by 50% in combat power.
2.
Strengthening himself by 50% in combat power.
(Note: The weakening effect only worked on opponents of the same cultivation level—the greater the gap, the weaker the effect.)
3.
A "Bloodthirst" effect, absorbing the enemy's vitality to restore his own.
At first glance, these abilities seemed lackluster—and indeed, they were.
They paled in comparison to the effects of Ye Feng's innate Soul Skills.
However, what Ye Feng truly sought wasn't the Domain's abilities, but the physical enhancement and transformation brought about by his deepened understanding of the laws of slaughter!
And as the Slaughter Domain took form…
The rule of Slaughter City that had suppressed Ye Feng—"Soul Skills cannot be used"—was shattered.
In the next moment, Ye Feng felt an immense weight lift from his body.
His Soul Power grew turbulent, and his bloodline energy inexplicably began to surge!
The most noticeable change was the rapid dissolution of the seal within him—
Finally reaching 90%!
During his training in Slaughter City, the seal on Ye Feng's bloodline had already weakened to 90.1%.
Now, with the successful formation of the Slaughter Domain, the final 0.1% was completely unlocked!
Moreover, with the seal below 90%, Ye Feng could sense his innate Talent gradually awakening…
Even the phantom of his fifth Soul Ring began to slowly manifest.
"I can't delay—I need to find a secluded place to cultivate immediately."
Ye Feng forcibly suppressed the condensation of his Soul Rings, thinking of leaving quickly to find a secluded place to break through in isolation.
Breaking through here would be no different from seeking death...
Just then, Ye Feng suddenly felt an overwhelmingly terrifying pressure descend from the sky.
"Kekeke... I never expected, truly never expected, that you would actually comprehend the Slaughter Domain. How surprising..."
Above the sky, a bloody aura swirled.
The figure of the King of Slaughter hovered within it.
"Oh, so it's the great King of Slaughter. Isn't it a bit improper to spy on someone's privacy?"
Ye Feng raised his head, his tone laced with mockery and nonchalance.
He had already obtained what he wanted and naturally planned to leave—no need to stay in this hellish place any longer.
"Hahaha, privacy?"
The King of Slaughter laughed heartily. "Boy, have you forgotten your deal with me? You can no longer leave Slaughter City. You are my servant now. And you still want privacy?"
His voice gradually turned cold, carrying a hint of killing intent as he continued, "Boy, you have remarkable talent. Open your consciousness and let me plant a Blood Seal. I can appoint you as my foremost battle general."
Though he couldn't possess Ye Feng yet, he could still plant a Blood Seal in his consciousness to control his life and death at any time.
He hadn't done so earlier because he had considered Ye Feng nothing more than an insignificant ant, incapable of causing any trouble.
But now that Ye Feng had truly comprehended the Slaughter Domain, he could freely use his Soul Skills. Though he was still far from threatening the King's position, he might find a way to escape through one of Slaughter City's weaker points.
This was absolutely unacceptable!
Thus, he needed to place a restriction on Ye Feng to ensure obedience.
"Great King of Slaughter, your proposal is quite appealing. But with your measly Titled Douluo strength, you're not qualified to appoint me."
Ye Feng grinned, his figure slowly turning illusory.
"Boy! You're courting death!!!"
Enraged by these words, the King of Slaughter bellowed furiously!
The next moment, an endless Blood Sea surged down, crashing violently onto Ye Feng.
"Boom—"
The earth trembled, leaving behind only a massive crater where Ye Feng had once stood—but his figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"
The King of Slaughter roared in helpless fury, his voice shaking all of Slaughter City.
Though not the brightest, he now fully realized—he had been played!!!
All that nonsense about an exchange, that worthless deal—it was all a lie!
That bastard had always had a way to escape!
Not only had the "Sword Demon" freeloaded a Slaughter God Domain from him, but now that damned swindler Ye Feng had also slipped away.
The thought made the King of Slaughter's blood boil, an unnameable rage burning in his chest with no outlet.
"Boy, you dare trick me? Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will find you and make sure you die without a grave!"
The King of Slaughter took a deep breath, then his figure flickered, instantly appearing outside Slaughter City.
That's right—he was leaving Slaughter City to hunt down that human named Ye Feng!
Though his parasitic body couldn't stray too far from his true form, he could vaguely sense the direction in which that human had fled.
He was a Titled Douluo, while the other party was merely an ordinary Soul Master. Even if they had some special method to leave Slaughter City, they couldn't have gone far!
However, the King of Slaughter had just left Slaughter City when he sensed two very familiar auras.
The two auras shared the same origin, radiating an incredibly sacred presence.
One aura was weak and not worth fearing.
But the other aura... was like that of a deity...
Even from several kilometers away, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, his blood simmering with unmistakable dread.
The figures approached swiftly, arriving above Slaughter City in the blink of an eye.
"Well? King of Slaughter, how courteous of you to come out personally to greet us?"
Qian Daoliu was genuinely surprised to see the King of Slaughter had actually left Slaughter City.
