[Host has caused Tang San to miss out on the 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, 380,000-year Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and 690,000-year Snow Empress blood sacrifice opportunities, instead seizing Snow Empress and Ice Empress for himself, gifting the Titan Giant Ape to Xiao Wu and the Azure Bull Python to Zhu Zhuqing, greatly increasing his own support. Massive plundering of Tang San's destiny!]
[Reward: "Divine-Level · Domain Prototype"!]
Tang Lan's pupils shrank!
Among the long lines of glowing golden text, the reward was just a single line.
But those two glaring words—"Divine-Level"—stood out like a blinding sun!
He didn't check it immediately.
After a brief moment of distraction,
Tang Lan began making arrangements.
"Thank you, Uncle Bone, for standing guard. Please take Rongrong back first. In a couple of days, we'll be heading out on a trip—it'll take about a year."
"Zhuqing, notify the core disciples who came this time to get ready. Later, I'll take you all somewhere to train."
"Bing'er, have Old Zhao gather the sect's fire-attribute soul masters and wait outside the Sunset Forest."
"Daming, for the next two days, take Xiao Wu around the Star Dou Forest and confirm the next ruler to maintain the Soul Spirit Experiment Base."
"The large-scale creation of soul spirits is something the Spirit Hall will never ignore. The Star Dou Forest is no longer safe."
"After this major soul spirit contract event, you'll come with me to the Sunset Forest as well—to establish the Sunset Soul Spirit Tower."
"Any questions?"
His gaze swept across the group.
No one objected.
"Enjoy these last two days of leisure."
"After this, it's going to get tough."
"Ice Empress, Snow Empress, stay behind. The rest of you, go take care of your tasks."
Tang Lan sat cross-legged on the spot,
as if he had reached a realization,
and entered a meditative state.
Everyone—both humans and soul beasts—took extra care to remain silent.
Tang Lan's status and abilities spoke for themselves.
Any moment of enlightenment from him could result in another groundbreaking miracle,
like his "Soul Spirit Equality Contract", which had reshaped the entire continent's balance.
No one dared to disturb him.
With Ice and Snow Empress guarding him, the others felt safe enough to leave.
Inside His Consciousness—
After fully processing the Divine-Level · Domain Prototype,
Tang Lan's breath grew heavy!
This reward wasn't something he could use immediately.
It would only activate upon his ascension to godhood—
At that moment, his existing domains would fuse into his own unique Divine Domain!
Its effects were unknown—but it would definitely be powerful!
Moreover,
this exclusive Divine Domain wasn't fixed—
like external spirit bones, it had growth potential!
It could be continuously enhanced by "feeding" it additional domains,
allowing it to grow indefinitely—
Until it reached the absolute limit of this world!
Tang Lan did a mental count—
Right now, he had:
Blue Silver Life DomainSoul Spirit Domain
Both of which had already evolved to their peak forms.
Slaughter God Domain was almost guaranteed, and he could evolve it further.
That was three high-level domains already!
With Snow Empress and Ice Empress' blood sacrifices,
he would likely gain an Ice-Attribute Domain.
Thunder Hell Prison Vine also had a high chance of granting a Lightning Domain.
Since he had already started the Sea God's Nine Trials,
he would inevitably have to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King,
a million-year soul beast.
If he persuaded it to become his soul spirit,
he could choose its Demonic Whale Domain as either a spirit skill or a spirit bone skill.
And here's where it got interesting—
The Divine Skill · Domain Prototype described "fusion",
but never specified that it had to be his own domains!
Xiao Wu's Gravity Quagmire,
Zhu Zhuqing's Slowing Domain,
Even his aunt Tang Yuehua's Nobility Domain,
or the Slaughter God Domains of his future core disciples…
As long as they agreed,
he could fuse them too!
Holy shit!
What kind of monstrous domain would this create?!
"Creation God Domain?"
No matter which godhood he inherited,
he would still have at least one Divine-Level Domain to feed into his fused domain.
Even if he only became a First-Class God,
he'd still reach God-King-level combat power!
Of course—
If the God of Asura tried to "poach" him,
Tang Lan wouldn't hesitate—
He would go all-in to become the Asura God-King instead!
If he fed the Asura Domain into his fused domain…
Its base level would be God-King-tier!
"No, I need to plan this carefully."
"There are so many godly inheritances, but I can only choose one—it'd be a waste to not maximize my benefits."
"How can I make the most out of this...?"
Tang Lan sank deep into thought.
Then, suddenly—a flash of inspiration!
He had a wild but intriguing idea.
It was a risky gambit—
but if it worked—
he'd be absolutely unstoppable!
But first—he needed to test something.
Tang Lan opened his eyes.
And saw Ice Empress' faceright up close,
staring straight at him.
He could even feel the chill radiating from her body.
Caught red-handed,
Ice Empress showed no sign of flinching.
"What did you realize?" she asked curiously.
"I refined a technique." Tang Lan replied casually. "And I need your help with something."
Tang Lan unleashed his Blue Silver Life Domain, scanning the Star Dou Forest for Soul Seeds.
He had previously given Daming and Erming a bag of Soul Seeds,
instructing them to mark any divine soul beasts they encountered—
such as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger or the Shadow Devil Cat.
Divine soul beasts were extremely rare, and they hadn't found a third one.
However—
they had located one of the soul beasts Tang Lan specifically wanted.
This soul beast had mastered the "Concealment" spirit skill after ten thousand years,
capable of completely suppressing its presence.
Without a Soul Seed marking it, finding it would have been like searching for a needle in a haystack.
It was that elusive.
"Found you!"
"Sneaky little thing, hiding so far away."
"I'll fly us there—hold on tight!"
Tang Lan grabbed the Ice and Snow Empresses, activated Blood Evasion,
and blasted off—
giving them a firsthand experience of what true speed and adrenaline felt like!
In the blink of an eye,
they had crossed the entire Star Dou Forest,
arriving at the border of the Star Luo Empire.
Below them—
a massive Human-Faced Demon Spider was wrapped around a colossal Meat Mountain Elephant,
sucking it dry with terrifying efficiency.
This was the highest-cultivation Human-Faced Spider in the Star Dou Forest—
the Human-Faced Spider Queen, with a staggering 50,000 years of cultivation!
Originally,
Tang Lan had planned to keep this one—
to help his Eight Spider Lances break through to the Divine Level.
But over time, the Eight Spider Lances had undergone a complete transformation—
Refined through the Nine Yang Divine TechniqueEnhanced by the Vajra Indestructible BodyTempered by Ice-Fire Alchemical BaptismFurther refined by multiple celestial herbsAmplified by the Unyielding Vajra BodyTwice evolved through the Fate-Soul Blue Silver Emperor
By now, their quality had far surpassed the original story.
That's why they had been stuck at 99,999 years, unable to break into the 100,000-year threshold.
Tang Lan had a hunch—
If the Eight Spider Lances broke through 100,000 years,
while they wouldn't quite reach artifact level,
they would bring him an unexpected surprise!
That's why he was here.
Within the Blue Silver Life Domain's camouflage,
the Human-Faced Spider Queennever noticed the "three blades of grass" that had suddenly appeared above its head.
"Wah!" Ice Empress yelped. "That speed—we were moving so fast I felt like I was about to crack apart!"
Her exclamation startled the Human-Faced Spider Queen below.
It looked up, its multiple eyes locking onto the sky.
When it saw the Ice and Snow Empresses—
the natural pressure of savage beasts instantly made it feel the threat of death!
With no hesitation,
it activated its ultimate trump card—
Spider God Possession!
Its 50,000-year aura soared,
approaching the might of a 100,000-year beast!
But the cost was steep—
for every second it maintained Spider God Possession,
it would burn away an entire year of cultivation!
Would Tang Lan let that happen?
"Ice Empress—"
