Chapter 106 The Power of Domains, Two Grandmasters

Lancheng, within the contaminated area, in the eastern suburbs.

Deep underground.

Inside the vast and silent cave, Zhang Ruanruan, dressed in a light blue robe, stood with her brows slightly furrowed and eyes tightly closed, appearing utterly holy. If she weren't currently suspended by a massive cross, everyone present would likely feel awe and reverence for her.

Beneath their feet, an altar stood, with a heart-like object placed in the center.

It was the remains of the saint.

Before them, all the Voodoo Cult members who had been lurking on Donglin Star had gathered.

Everyone looked up and stared at the figure on the cross.

Among the leaders were the preaching priests [Dry Bones] and [Boiling Bones], Lin Yuan, the Shadow Saintess Lin Lu, and the High Priest [Soul Eater] with whom she had spoken inside the cave that day.

The crowd was filled with fervor and excitement, but only Soul Eater's aged eyes were filled with reluctance.

In order to recruit Zhang Ruanruan, a "pure waterway bone," to join him and share the same god, he made far too many sacrifices.

For example, instead of going to Dongxuan Star, which has better resources, they can come to Donglin first;

For example, even though Wang Jingci, the commander of the enforcement team, had warned him that the Water Saintess was an undercover agent, he still accepted her with the idea of ​​changing her, and even let go of the boy who came with her for this reason.

Or perhaps it was for her sake that he risked estrangement from the Shadow Saintess, who held a higher position.

And there's more...

Thinking of all this, Soul Eater let out a long sigh.

No one expected things to turn out this way.

The star marrow actually merged into her body on its own initiative, recognized her as its master, and helped her advance to the level of martial bone.

However, the process of advancement was forcibly interrupted by the Grandmaster sent by R'lyeh, and the power of the Star Essence remained in his body, now waiting to be used as a "guide" to revive the Holy Remains.

At this moment, a person slowly walked forward from the crowd.

He was an old man, but judging from his face, he seemed kind and approachable, like a friendly neighbor.

It was Fang Ting, the head of the Fang family.

Fang Ting looked at Soul Eater and said humbly, "Lord Soul Eater, Fang Ming just sent a message saying that they have already set off and are heading this way."

"They" refers to Lan Yue and the others.

By this point, Wang Jingci and the Fang family's camps were clear, but what was puzzling was how they managed to evade the detection of a Grandmaster.

"Has that esteemed person arrived yet?" Lin Lu's voice echoed in the empty cave, making no attempt to conceal her intense joy.

"Hmph." Soul Eater snorted coldly.

"Reporting to the Holy Maiden, that Grandmaster is already on his way and will surely arrive before that woman Lan Yue." The one who spoke was the preaching priest Ku Gu. He was only at the Qi and Blood Realm, but he was caught in the middle between the Soul Devourer and the Forest Deer, which was really difficult for him.

This is one of the reasons why he suppressed his feelings to the point of liking to write in his diary.

"Hmm." Lin Lu couldn't help but complain, "Is the 'Theory of Astrological Prediction' really that important? It made him put aside the matter of the resurrection of the Holy Remains."

The one who brought Lin Lu and Lin Yuan back earlier was merely a phantom formed by the Grandmaster's divided soul blood, not the real body.

No one dared to respond to Lin Lu's words.

An eerie silence fell over the place once again.

Half an hour later, inside the contaminated area.

Looking at the factory area that had long been forgotten by the world, Lan Yue sighed, "It's been a long time since I've been here."

Beside her, the head of a martial arts family immediately flattered her, "The city lord usually sits in Lan City, busy with countless affairs, and is already exhausted. How could she possibly have the time to come here in person?"

Lan Yue gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "Everyone, step back a bit. I'll locate the 'skeleton'."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng, who was at the far end of the crowd, retreated several miles with the others.

In a short while, she was the only one left in the large area centered on Lan Yue.

She sat cross-legged, circulating her own star power, and made a hand seal with her six fingers together.

"open!"

With a soft shout in her mind, a visible blue-gray wave of energy spread out from her body, expanding infinitely in all directions until it passed through the crowd and enveloped the entire inner perimeter of the contaminated area.

"This is the power of a domain." Beside Jiang Feng, Qin De couldn't help but introduce it, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.

Jiang Feng nodded.

This power is clearly recorded in high school textbooks.

After becoming a Grandmaster, the "Martial Will" that began to condense around the body from the Meridian Opening Realm will be fully formed, creating what is known as a "Domain".

If one can perfect their "domain" and release it at will, it can be as vast as the universe or as small as a quark on a fingertip, thus enabling them to advance to the Grandmaster realm.

In the distance, Lan Yue stopped what she was doing and slowly stood up.

Then, with a single step, he traversed several miles and appeared before everyone in the blink of an eye.

Within her domain, she was like a god!

"It's right there." Lan Yue raised her hand and pointed to a spot in the east. "Everyone, please prepare yourselves and follow me."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and followed behind Lan Yue, who was leading the way, rushing towards the eastern suburbs.

Fifteen minutes later, Lan Yue stopped.

The factory buildings in front of me had been razed to the ground at some point, leaving only a bare expanse.

What makes it easily identifiable is that on the right side of this open area, there is a huge teleportation array, which still faintly glows with a scarlet light, flashing on and off within Lan Yue's domain.

Lan Yue raised her hand and made a grasping motion toward the magic array.

"now!"

"Boom—"

"The next moment, everyone heard a sound that wasn't particularly loud. Then, the terrain where the magic array was engraved suddenly changed, dust flew up, and in no time the magic array lost its effect. A huge crater the size of an entire football field appeared nakedly in everyone's eyes."

"Hiss, this is..." Chu Gonghua exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems this operation will take us underground." Liu Sujun's usually cold face was now solemn, and five protective auras appeared around her, layer upon layer protecting her body.

Ahead, Lan Yue saw the entrance appear and said, "Everyone, please follow me..."

Before she could finish speaking...

The entire world, which was originally covered by the blue-gray field, seemed to pause for a moment.

Then, a surging crimson wave suddenly rose from somewhere and swept towards this blue-gray area. In no time, the world was dyed another color, rivaling Lan Yue's domain, each holding its own territory.

"They're here!" shouted a patriarch of a powerful clan at the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm. "City Lord, be careful, it's their Grandmaster!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than an unfamiliar voice rang out leisurely from the distant edge of the polluted area.

"Hehe—luckily we made it in time, otherwise you would have really ruined my important mission. It's a pity that you've all come from afar, it's quite a coincidence. It's just a pity that you've made a wasted trip today."

In the blink of an eye, the owner of that voice appeared above the giant pit, firmly guarding the entrance.

It was a very tall man, who looked to be around fifty years old. His jet-black Taoist robe fluttered gently with the flow of his aura. The robe was densely embroidered with fine, hair-like scarlet runes, which were now faintly wriggling, as if they had come to life.

The aura of a grandmaster emanated from him, silently permeating the air and suffocating those around him.

The Voodoo master has finally arrived at the battlefield!
