Chapter 918: Chapter 498: Taming Territorial Power, Cracked Red Sky (4K)_2

“`

“The Soul Realm has a hallmark power, which is to create one’s own ‘Life Box’ based on a segmented God Soul. Once they fall unexpectedly, the Soul Realm Masters can be reborn through the Life Box.”

“However, compared to Divine Descent, the formation of a Life Box requires a vast ‘quantity’ of consumed God Souls.”

“Ordinary Soul Realm Masters often have to sever half of their God Soul and also find rare treasures that resonate well with themselves, with Epic materials being the best, or at the very least, Quasi-Epic treasures that are a very good fit.”

As such, Soul Realm Masters cannot be reborn casually.

Even if death only means a loss of a great deal, at the very least, it involves a significant recovery period, with a need to consume a large number of treasures to replenish and restore the God Soul.

The cultivation and recovery of the Soul Realm all require these kinds of treasures.

That is the major expense of this realm.

…

After Duo Lai advanced to the next realm, Dead Bone continued practicing in the Domain of the Deceased—after all, in the Shattered Isles, there still lurks an enigmatic Law Realm Undead with immense combat power.

Duo Lai, on the other hand, went to the Shattered Isles to participate in warfare, slaughtering a few minor legendary beasts whenever he had the chance.

Lord Shepherd himself…

Mostly remained within Tianyuan City.

He left a high-level avatar in the Shattered Isles Warzone, but it was mostly in standby mode and rarely activated.

It’s tantamount to him not being a permanent fixture in the Battle Zone.

The commander-in-chief is usually required to be present in the Battle Zone, especially during more intense battles. After all, the commander-in-chief often carries the baton of combat power for the entire zone and is also responsible for a great many matters.

Mu Yuan has no such issues.

Currently, the symbol of courage and combat power in the Battle Zone is General Lu Liu.

Acting as his representative to communicate with various Lords and Pioneer Groups is Isloa.

With a peerless general and a capable civil officer, he could not worry less.

He was in secluded cultivation.

Mu Yuan didn’t go to a cultivation treasure land but simply sat in a tranquil attic within the City Lord’s Mansion.

He entered Lord’s Perspective mode. As he looked down panoramically over his territory, he spread his spiritual sense wide.

The not-so-small territory of his domain and several much larger Semi-Mystic Realms were all within his sight.

“The power of Miracle Evolution is still unfathomable, but the Territorial Power seems to come from the same source as Miracle Power, and this is a more superficial force,” he thought.

The former is akin to a giant whale in the deep ocean; he could barely make out its silhouette but couldn’t see it clearly or get a hold of it.

The latter, however, is like the fish that swim on this vast ocean, occasionally leaping out of the water.

Although capturing such fish is not easy, it offers an opportunity to try, and the possibility of success exists.

“The power of the Battle Zone is actually Territorial Power, just on a much larger scale.”

“The vast majority of Great Lords only use Territorial Power in a simple and crude manner, either for suppression or enhancement. It’s not that they don’t want to utilize this power more delicately; they simply can’t.”

One reason is that Territorial Power is extremely rare, and once consumed can only be naturally restored, leaving the Lords lacking opportunities to practice.

The other, and more important reason, is that Territorial Power is just too overwhelming.

Great Lords wielding this power is like children wielding oversized swords.

Lacking strength and skill, under such conditions, how can the Lords possibly bring Territorial Power into full play? Furthermore, even though using it in a simple and rough manner is sufficient to subdue numerous powerful enemies, it serves as a significant foundation for the domain.

That’s enough for practical use.

Mu Yuan used it this way previously.

The territory of Tianyuan City at LV5 is comparable in size to those of Great Domains at LV7 or LV8.

However, compared to the irradiation range of the Shattered Isles Warzone, it’s much lesser.

The Power of the Battle Zone has only two opportunities for use, leaving no room for practice.

Mu Yuan is now in secluded cultivation to improve his proficiency in utilizing Territorial Power. Having mastered Evo-power, he might double his efforts in researching Territorial Power and achieve greater results.

“So let’s begin, slowly consume Territorial Power for small-scale practice,” he thought.

“I can’t be impatient or too eager for success; many Great Lords have researched for years or even decades, and still, their use of Territorial Power remains crude, so there’s no use rushing.”

He believed that this short period of research was unlikely to garner significant improvement.

In the upcoming battle in the Shattered Isles, it might not make a difference.

But should one stop striving just because there’s no significant improvement?

Doing anything usually involves repeated accumulations until a breakthrough happens, leading to a noticeable improvement.

Well, unless one is cheating.

But Lord Shepherd is a Lord who has reached this point through his own talent and effort.

“`

Researching now, and accumulating power, will ensure that when the day comes and we truly need it, we won’t be helpless.

Mu Yuan kept thinking, practicing, and delving into the power of his territory.

Day after day.

Without eating, drinking, or resting.

There’s nothing to boast about here, it’s simply the effort that ought to be made.

Seeing the efforts of the Undead, Isloa, Sophia, and the others, what reason did he have to be lazy? He could live the dream life of a lord only once Tianyuan City had survived the Great Catastrophe unscathed.

Right now, he could live a carefree lord’s life given his circumstances, but he felt uneasy.

Sitting or standing, he would feel restless, worrying that one day an enemy might arrive at his doorstep.

Mu Yuan had intended to continue this sort of research until more than a third of his territorial power was depleted.

After that, he planned to wait for his power to fully recover before he would retreat for closed-door cultivation, and so on and so forth.

But today…

Mu Yuan had finally caught that ‘mischievous fish,’ even though the power still thrashed in his hands. Like a young man holding a vigorously vibrating stick, he was still far from mastering its use.

That was the original plan.

But…

But the mischievous fish suddenly calmed down, became incredibly gentle, and even when Mu Yuan loosened his grip, the fish still circled around him, a stark difference from before.

It was like a Wandering Soul finding its backbone.

That was the Miracle Power seeping out from Mu Yuan’s palm, mysterious and profound, transcending the nine heavens yet extending strands to the mortal world.

…

Shattered Isles Domain.

“Boom——”

A dazzling mini sun rose slowly over the plains.

Within the orange Blaze, two fierce and massive forms rapidly incinerated.

The Blazing Sun quickly dissipated.

The remnants of dragon bones fell from the sky, crashing onto the scorched earth and burying halfway into the ground with a thud.

A girl with sky-blue hair and clear, large eyes exhaled softly, extinguishing the flame at the fingertips held to her lips.

She flicked her hand and the wisps of smoke drifted away as if she had just done something trivial.

“As expected of Lord Duo Lai, Lord Duo Lai is the best in the world!”

A young girl at the Fourth-order Peak Realm waved a flag, on which was painted a cartoon avatar of Duo Lai.

Fan support for General Duo Lai +1+1.

Although in most people’s eyes, General Lu is undoubtedly the strongest warrior in the battle zone. After Lord Fuchao went to support the Giant Amber Mountain war zone, the title of the strongest became even more unshakeable.

But many who have witnessed General Duo Lai’s legendary feats of incinerating monsters with her ferocious power beg to differ.

General Duo Lai is the number one in the battle zone, the world’s number one!

Moreover, compared to God General Lu, Lady Duo Lai is more approachable and cute, and even cuter when she eats.

So want to feed Lady Duo Lai!

The Lord of Scorching Flames was the leader of this small action team, and she needed to express her gratitude, but she also secretly marveled at Duo Lai’s formidable strength.

“It is rumored that this General Duo Lai is a super powerful being with a domain reaching tens of thousands of meters.”

“But 10,001 meters is still tens of thousands meter level, as are 10,300, 10,600, and 10,900 meters; General Duo Lai’s legendary domain levels are probably among the latter.”

“Besides, having reached such a level with her domain, the Soul Realm is no longer an obstacle. Perhaps she has already become a Soul Realm Master?”

“Speaking of absolute combat power, I also think General Duo Lai is the strongest in the battle zone.”

Lord of Scorching Flames thought to herself.

Suddenly,

“Boom——”

An ear-deafening roar, as if the world itself was shattering, exploded by her side.

She first thought a great battle had erupted nearby and looked all around. But the next moment, her pupils constricted, and she stared dumbfounded at the distant sky.

There, the sky had cracked open.

A vast rift spanned the Azure Sky, miles and miles long, like a crimson river, a tremendous crack.
