Huff~ puff~ huff~ puff~
On a certain island, the primordial energy of heaven and earth swirled into mist. A massive black tortoise, as large as a mountain, lay prostrate on the island. With its natural breathing, the dense primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to seep into its body like smoke.
It is both a pleasant rest and a period of secluded cultivation.
Beneath its prostrate body lay a mass of withered bones.
There were humans, dragons, and even turtles among them. Judging from the traces of aura they still retained, without exception, they had all reached the God-King realm in their previous lives.
The skeletons piled up to form an island, on which a huge black tortoise floated in the vast ocean.
"call……"
Suddenly, after cultivating for countless years, the tortoise comfortably opened its eyes, a human-like joyful smile appearing on its face, clearly indicating that it had gained a great deal from this seclusion.
Buzz!
In a good mood, the black tortoise went straight out of the pass and rode the bone island at high speed in a certain direction.
"That loach must have grown to the God-King realm by now, right? It hasn't eaten in a long time, and I'm getting a little hungry!"
Thinking this, the black tortoise couldn't help but miss the taste of the dragon. It subconsciously enveloped the entire domain prison with its vast divine soul, trying to find the dragon that had been freed for so long.
"Huh?"
Sudden.
The black turtle seemed to have noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation.
It was shocked to discover that its divine soul could not see very far. At the same time, it also discovered that the sea surface was gray and hazy, as if it were smog, and it could not see the presence of any other living beings.
"Could it be... that some treasure has appeared in the world?"
The black tortoise was overjoyed, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes. It suddenly darted out of the gray mist, wanting to find out what was going on.
Bang!
The next instant, it seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, causing its entire head to retract. As a precaution, it instinctively tried to shrink its head back into its shell.
Suddenly, it felt a tightness around its neck, as if something was gripping it.
Before it could make a move, it was lifted up completely.
"who?"
The black turtle flailed its limbs in the air, and its two front claws suddenly extended, attacking the strange object on its neck.
result……
Bang! Crack!
The two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
The black turtle was horrified to discover that although the blow had landed squarely, the thing binding it had not only failed to break, but its two claws had been severed, and blood was gushing out.
"Quiet down!"
As the cold, ruthless voice rang out, the black tortoise was immediately shocked to find that its entire cultivation was imprisoned, and even its powerful physical strength could not flow at all.
The entire massive body was instantly immobilized.
"How is this possible?!"
The black turtle was terrified.
Buzz!
The next instant, a massive surge of divine soul power flooded into its soul sea, beginning to imprint a mark of enslavement upon its soul.
To its great surprise, this divine soul power did not seem very strong, appearing to be only at the God King level.
But how could a God-King level being able to restrain me?
It subconsciously tried to roll its eyes and scan the void.
In his blurry vision, he vaguely saw a young man in black clothes restraining his body with a powerful hand of energy from afar, and a large black dog branding him with a mark of enslavement.
The black tortoise was immediately enraged and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, I am a disciple of the Demon Desire Sect. Even if you want to capture servants for this big black dog, you should capture those rogue cultivators. Why are you attacking a disciple of my Demon Desire Sect?"
However, neither the young man in black nor the big black dog showed any change in expression in the face of its anger.
It seemed as if it didn't care at all about the demonic gate behind it.
This made the black turtle extremely resentful.
But no matter how hard it tried, it could never break free from the invisible shackles on its body, and could only watch helplessly as the mark of enslavement on its soul became more and more complete.
Buzz!
In less than ten breaths, the mark of enslavement was completely applied.
In that instant, the black turtle knew that its life no longer belonged to itself.
This caused it to feel extremely resentful.
As a disciple of the Tianyu Sect, it had never experienced such humiliation before, but now that the fact had been made, it had no choice but to accept the reality.
Buzz—
As the giant hand of energy disappeared, the black turtle felt the binding force on its body completely vanish. It raised its head to look at the young man in black and the big black dog, and glared at them resentfully.
Instead of bowing in greeting, the black tortoise said angrily, "Who exactly are you? Why are you targeting my Demon Desire Sect disciples? Aren't you afraid of my Demon Desire Sect's Demon Emperor?"
"snort!"
With just a soft snort from the Celestial Hound, the black tortoise experienced pain it had never known before in its life.
"roar!!!"
The black tortoise crashed onto the bone island, and as it rolled, the entire island was destroyed, and countless skeletons were blown away. From these skeletons, Lu Tao and his companions were able to identify thousands of complete skeletons of god-kings.
"Six thousand God Kings..."
Looking at these withered bones, Lu Tao felt a pang of sorrow.
If they had simply reached the end of their lifespan and passed away peacefully, that would be understandable, as it is the natural order of things and nothing to complain about; it is perfectly normal. But they did not.
They were all eaten, eaten by this black turtle in front of them.
Just like that toad, it only eats flesh and soul, leaving only bones behind.
These skeletons seemed to be their spoils of war, left here to be displayed.
Lu Tao and his companions noticed that beneath Bone Island, in this vast ocean, there were also large skeletal remains, but compared to the withered bones of the God-King on Bone Island, those in the ocean were of even lower cultivation levels.
God of War, God of Heaven, God-King...
Even more surprisingly, Lu Tao found numerous nearly completely decayed skeletons in the mud at the bottom of the sea.
These bone fragments were all from individuals with cultivation levels below the level of a Martial God.
These are only bones that haven't completely decomposed. How many bones have completely decomposed, having traveled countless miles with the sea and become one with the soil?
Lu Tao didn't know.
But he knew that the Demon Desire Sect's malice towards ascenders was probably the greatest in the entire Jade Dragon Heaven.
First there was that toad, and now this black tortoise; both originated from the Demon Desire Sect, yet they acted with such unbridled arrogance and cruelty within the Domain Prison.
If you said this was just a peculiar quirk of the two of them, probably no one would believe it.
There's only one thing to say: the Demon Desire Sect's attitude towards ascended beings is—kill!
Kill without hesitation!
Whether it's torture or slaughter, it's still killing!
It can be described as ruthless extermination.
However, since the Domain Prison is part of the God Realm, the Ascended Ones can never be completely killed. So they can only kill until the Ascended Ones are terrified and can no longer muster the slightest will to resist.
The Celestial Hound stared at the black turtle rolling in the ocean and said coldly, "This Demon Desire Sect truly deserves to be destroyed!"
Lu Tao nodded and said, "This kind of sect will be wiped out sooner or later!"
"roar!!!"
The black turtle was still screaming in agony, and you could tell how miserable it was just from its screams.
But the Celestial Hound did not let it go, tormenting it for a full quarter of an hour before finally stopping.
"Get over here!"
As the cold command from the Howling Celestial Dog rang out, the black tortoise trembled violently, and then rolled towards Lu Tao and the others like a giant ball.
Upon approaching, the black tortoise trembled and prostrated itself on the ground, its posture extremely respectful, "Greetings, Lord!"
Lu Tao instructed, "Bring out all the precious resources."
"Yes, my lord!"
Soon, a large amount of precious resources fell into Lu Tao's hands, and his collection was much richer than that of the toad.
It is evident that this black tortoise has been stationed in this area for an even longer period.
Then.
Lu Tao gave a few more brief instructions, telling him not to show any unusual behavior to avoid being discovered by the Demon Desire Sect, before he disappeared into the shadows.
In the vast world, the Celestial Hound exclaimed, "We've only enslaved thirty God Emperors, yet we've already obtained over ten thousand items of the rules. It's simply outrageous!"
Lu Tao nodded and smiled, "Yes, once we have complete control of the domain prison of Jiang Yulongtian, these rule-based items will be enough for each of you to have one, and there might even be some left over."
However, Lu Tao's tone then changed, and he said regretfully, "Unfortunately, most of these rule-based items are the same, with only more than three hundred unique ones."
Things governed by rules are like divine medicines governed by rules, or even worse.
There's too much repetition.
Gathering three thousand different types of rules with different Dao attributes is extremely difficult.
This is by no means an easy task.
Fortunately, Lu Tao didn't expect to collect them all in a short period of time.
As the two talked, Lu Tao once again entered the interdimensional passage and traversed into another domain prison.
——
"The Gate of Demonic Desire!!!"
In the ensuing operation, Lu Tao and his group encountered other domain prisons guarded by the Demon Desire Sect. The guardians of these domain prisons were also demonic beasts, and equally ferocious.
They revealed the truth between the ascendants and the native beings of the divine realm, plunging the entire prison into despair.
even.
One of the prisons was called the Demon Realm, and the Demon Desire Sect transformed the entire prison into a purgatory.
In this domain prison, not only can the disciples of the Demon Desire Sect torture and devour each other, enjoying various forms of sadomasochistic pleasure, but other beings from Jade Dragon Heaven can also enter.
Anyone willing to spend the resources can come in and enjoy everything they can't enjoy outside.
They can do whatever they want—torture, slaughter, lust, and so on.
Even if it means devouring billions of living beings in the lower realm, it's acceptable.
It was as if this entire prison was their backyard, their property, and they could arbitrarily decide the life and death of other living beings, whether they were demons or humans.
In the Demon Realm, as long as you have a Divine Stone, you can do whatever you want.
Even if you slaughter your own kind, no one will care.
In the Demon Realm, there are no moral constraints, nor do you need to consider the feelings of other races.
If you are human and harbor hatred towards the demon race, you may not be able to vent your anger and dissatisfaction towards these two races in Yulongtian, but you can in this Demon Realm.
vice versa.
The demon and monster races slaughter their own kind and other races here without being affected in the slightest.
Any living being in the entire Jade Dragon Heaven who harbors any dissatisfaction with other races, which is inconvenient to vent in the Jade Dragon Heaven, can enter this Demon Realm to vent their frustrations.
In this demonic realm, all beings have only one identity: Ascended Beings!
They are not human, not demon, and not monster.
They are merely ascendants.
Those who ascend to immortality deserve to die!
The beings of Yulongtian who slaughter them will not only not be cursed or ostracized by other beings, but will instead be praised.
Therefore, the Demon Realm is a special place in the hearts of the beings of Yulongtian.
It is also a very popular place.
Even in other heavens beyond Jade Heaven, beings have entered the Demon Realm to unleash the evil within their hearts!
"The Gate of Demonic Desire!"
Lu Tao repeated the name again.
He stood in a remote place, gazing at the various tragic scenes in the Demon Realm, his face cold and indifferent.
Throughout the entire Demon Realm, mountains of corpses and seas of blood are everywhere, and mass graves are also commonplace.
The entire Demon Desire was filled with an incredibly dense aura of resentment.
This resentment was far more intense than the resentment felt in the desolate place after the cataclysmic change.
If the resentment in the Heavenly Transformation Wasteland was due to the hatred of the Palace Master of the Spiritual Path Palace, that powerful God Emperor, it was because of his profound cultivation; then the resentment in the Demon Realm was purely the accumulation of the hatred of countless living beings, accumulated by one weak being after another over countless years.
They might be god-kings, god-lords, heavenly gods, or even weak cultivators below the level of martial gods.
But when countless individuals are combined, their resentment far surpasses that of a cataclysmic disaster.
The Heavenly Change Forbidden Land is merely a secret realm within a single state, with a limited scope. But the Demon Realm... is an entire domain!
The resentment in the entire Demon Realm was even more intense than that deep within the Heavenly Change Forbidden Land.
It's no exaggeration to say that the entire Demon Realm is a living hell.
In this purgatory, it is not only humans who suffer, but also demons and monsters.
They are no different.
They exist solely for the enjoyment of other living beings.
They live worse than insects.
What frustrated Lu Tao even more was that the resentment in the Demon Realm did not affect the ordinary creatures there.
Those demonic beings with low cultivation levels were completely unaffected by the incredibly dense resentment and could live normally, as if they possessed spirits.
They... seem to be protecting the creatures of this land even after they die.
"well!"
Lu Tao sighed silently, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
at this time.
Throughout the entire Demon Realm, numerous powerful God-Kings and God-Emperors are engaged in various acts of brutal slaughter.
There are even three God Emperors who cultivate the demonic path, who are in seclusion in this region.
Two of them were at the mid-stage of the God Emperor realm, and one was at the late-stage of the God Emperor realm.
Their secluded training grounds are deep underground in the Demon Realm, a place where almost all the most sinister and evil forces of the entire Demon Realm converge.
The intense resentment is just one aspect of it.
This resentment towards the creatures of Yulongtian seems to have the greatest benefit for their cultivation or their understanding of the Dao.
"I really want to kill all of these guys!"
Lu Tao gritted his teeth, but he knew he couldn't do that for the time being.
Not to mention that if he were to make a move, it would easily alert the three God Emperors who were in seclusion, and it would also easily attract the attention of other forces; even if he killed all these powerful beings, other beings would still enter the Demon Realm soon.
In an open-world game like Magic Domain, it's virtually impossible to completely prevent such incidents from happening.
At least Lu Tao can't do that for now.
Not only could he not prevent this from happening, nor could he kill all of these powerful figures, but Lu Tao had even temporarily abandoned the plan to enslave the guardian of this realm alone.
"Once you leave the Demon Realm, it will be your death day!"
Lu Tao secretly memorized the auras of these powerful individuals, then turned and left the Demon Realm, continuing his journey to the next Domain Prison.
that's all.
Lu Tao used the Two Realms Connection to quickly traverse through the sixty-one domain prisons.
Among these domain prisons, apart from the cruel methods of the Demon Desire Sect, the other domain prisons are relatively "merciful," but only relatively so.
For example, the Tianyu Sect.
Upon acquiring the domain prison, they slaughtered all the living beings within it.
These methods seem to surpass even the cruelty of the Demon Desire Sect, except that they do not involve torture and killing.
Other races and factions are actually in much the same boat.
At the beginning, a large-scale massacre was carried out in the prison, and then disciples were sent to oversee and supervise it.
They might be like those in the desolate wilderness, secretly hunting down highly gifted geniuses and those with top-tier bloodlines who are half-step God Emperors; or they might be like those from the Demon Desire Sect, subjecting the creatures in the domain prison to various forms of torture.
They don't treat them as living beings at all, and can be eaten at will.
Some forces even use the Domain Prison as a secret realm, a training ground for their other disciples.
Anyone below the level of a God Emperor can enter the Domain Prison for training.
even.
If one's own strength is insufficient and one dies in the Domain Prison, no one will save them. Instead, more disciples of the same level will be sent there to train until the Domain Prison prodigy who killed their disciple is killed.
It can be said that most of the domain prisons in Yulongtian are similar and can be enslaved and controlled by Xiaotian Dog, but a few cannot.
in this way--
Lu Tao didn't spend much time before he led Xiaotian Dog through all sixty-one domain prisons and had Xiaotian Dog enslave fifty-seven of the stationed God Emperors.
In this process, Lu Tao acquired a large number of resources.
Among them, the number of items that are governed by rules alone exceeds 20,000.
Other items, such as divine stones, divine veins, divine medicines, and strange objects, are countless.
It was a very fruitful experience.
At the same time, I also witnessed many tragic events.
This made Lu Tao even more concerned about the matter of disrupting Yulongtian.
