Buzz~~~
In the cultivation room, Lu Tao, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly emitted a faint fluctuation from his body.
Instantly, a powerful aura of a perfected Divine Emperor erupted.
"Phew... Finally finished refining!"
Lu Tao opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and his eyes were full of joy.
After ten years of cultivation, he finally purified the demonic energy in his inner essence and divine essence, and no longer had to worry about being affected by it in the slightest.
even.
If Lu Tao were willing, he could advance to the God Emperor realm at this time, and then directly become a God Emperor at the peak, becoming a member standing at the top of the God Realm.
However, Lu Tao would not be so short-sighted as to make such a self-destructive choice.
"I wonder how long it will take to cultivate the physical body and the essence."
With that in mind, Lu Tao did not leave seclusion and chose to continue cultivating.
Buzz—
As Lu Tao circulated the Immortal Scripture, the terrifying aura of the Holy Spirit Vein engulfed him like a tidal wave.
Right now.
Lu Tao's every pore opened up, greedily absorbing the incredibly rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which then followed the operation and refinement of the Immortal Scripture, transforming into the physical strength of Lu Tao's body.
The God Emperor was already powerful. Even the slightest improvement in the God Emperor's physical body would take an extremely long time for other living beings.
But Lu Tao is different.
During his cultivation, he could clearly sense the improvement in his physical body, and this feeling was very obvious.
His physical body is constantly strengthening.
Buzz!
As time goes by, another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Tao stopped cultivating and estimated, "At this rate, it will probably take about ten thousand years to cultivate the physical body and the essence."
Ten thousand years is an extremely long time.
At least, that was true for Lu Tao and the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
but……
For the Immortal Sect, which possesses over eight thousand times the acceleration of time, ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment.
Compared to the outside world, it has only been a little over a year.
"Eight thousand times the time acceleration? That's still an exaggeration!"
Lu Tao sighed, then muttered, "If only I could get another time-related material."
In this way, he could recreate a cave dwelling, gaining the same time acceleration, which would then be multiplied by the time acceleration of the other two worlds, creating an effect that...
It's terrifying to even think about.
Thinking of this, Lu Tao's mind suddenly became active.
Since two time materials can appear in the Desolate Domain, it is possible that they could also exist in other Domains.
Originally, when Lu Tao was at the God King realm, he did not plan to cause trouble in other domain prisons. However, now that he has reached the Perfect God Emperor realm, his cultivation and strength are incomparable to what they were before, so he naturally has fewer concerns.
"It seems it's time to make a trip to the other domain prisons!"
Lu Tao quickly finalized his plan.
He originally planned to collect three thousand different rule-based objects to forge a Chaos Rule Artifact. Fortunately, there should be quite a few rule-based objects in the other domain prisons as well.
"However, let's deal with Mo Hao first!"
Lu Tao didn't know much about the other domain prisons, so he planned to take out Mo Hao and ask him for information.
Buzz!
With a thought, Lu Tao left the cultivation room and went to a desolate planet in the Great Thousand World, where he took out the sealed Mo Hao.
"Lu Tao, what are you going to do?"
Mo Hao, who was sealed away, was unable to move. He merely sensed his surroundings and had a premonition that something was wrong.
In an instant.
Mo Hao's expression changed drastically. Before Lu Tao could ask any questions, he pleaded, "Lu Tao, no, Sect Master Lu, spare my life! I have never harmed any of the beings in the Desolate Region. It was all Elder Fu's doing. It has nothing to do with me!"
"So noisy!"
Lu Tao remained indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever to Mo Hao's pleas.
The next moment.
With a look of terror on Mo Hao's face, Lu Tao placed his right hand on his head.
"No! What are you going to do?"
Realizing the danger, Mo Hao immediately shouted, "Lu Tao, you're only at the peak of the Divine Emperor realm, I'm a Divine Emperor! You won't succeed in searching my soul!"
"snort!"
Lu Tao simply snorted in response.
Soul search?
unsuccessful?
Mo Hao is underestimating him too much. With his current strength, searching the soul of a mere early-stage God Emperor is a piece of cake.
However, Lu Tao's intention was not to search souls, but to enslave them!
Yes, it is enslavement!
Once the enslavement is successful, there's no need for soul searching; Mo Hao will obediently reveal everything he knows.
Buzz!
With a thought from Lu Tao, a massive amount of divine soul power surged towards Mo Hao's soul sea.
"No!!!"
Mo Hao struggled violently.
However, no matter how Mo Hao resisted, he was just a lamb to the slaughter, sealed away, and could not resist in the slightest. In less than a breath, Lu Tao's divine soul power had already invaded his soul sea.
"Shoot!"
The power of his soul transformed into the form of Lu Tao, looking down at Mo Hao's sealed altar, then raised his hand and suddenly grabbed at the altar.
Buzz—
Mo Hao's soul sea surged with towering waves, and on his sealed altar, countless runes flickered, causing the altar to shake wildly.
As the altar swayed, a powerful divine soul was slowly pulled out of it by Lu Tao.
Judging from his appearance, it was indeed Mo Hao!
but.
Mo Hao's soul was also covered with various runes, all of which were seals that Lu Tao had placed on it before.
"No! Don't search my soul! I can tell you anything you want to know!"
Mo Hao was terrified and pleaded urgently, "You're only a God Emperor. Searching my soul will damage my soul. Once my soul is damaged and my memories are erased, you won't get what you want. As long as you don't..."
Before Mo Hao could finish speaking, Lu Tao's soul suddenly began to form a series of hand seals.
This startled Mo Hao slightly, then he laughed angrily, "Lu Tao, you actually want to enslave me? Hahaha, do you know my cultivation level? I am a God Emperor, and you, a mere God King, dare to enslave me? Aren't you afraid of the backlash?"
Mo Hao felt he had been greatly insulted.
For a dignified God Emperor to be so insane as to have a God Sovereign who wanted to enslave him is simply a huge joke.
Let alone in Yulong Heaven, in the entire Divine Dynasty, apart from Saint Realm experts and a few Divine Emperors, who dares to enslave a Divine Emperor? Or rather, who can enslave a Divine Emperor?
Enslavement and soul-searching are two completely different things.
Soul searching can disregard the damage to the God Emperor's soul; one can relentlessly and continuously search for souls and generally obtain what one desires.
But slavery is different.
Since the choice is to enslave, there must be a reason why the other party is needed.
This means that the integrity of the other party's soul needs to be maintained. In Mo Hao's view, Lu Tao, with his mere God Emperor cultivation, is completely overestimating himself by choosing to enslave him, a God Emperor.
He stared at Lu Tao with disdain, waiting for Lu Tao to fail.
However--
As waves of enslaving power landed on his soul, Mo Hao sensed something was wrong.
The power of enslavement was so strong that it instilled in him a primal sense of fear.
"What kind of enslavement method is this?"
Mo Hao screamed in terror, somewhat exasperated, but Lu Tao did not choose to answer his question, continuing to make various complex hand seals.
"No!!! Lu Tao, you can't do it, you can't do it!"
As time went by, Mo Hao's panic grew.
He found that as the power of enslavement increased, he felt his soul growing heavier and heavier, and at the same time, the feeling of wanting to submit to Lu Tao became more and more obvious.
This feeling is completely involuntary.
"Damn it, no, absolutely not! I, Mo Hao, will never be someone else's servant!"
Mo Hao roared to the sky, struggling and resisting frantically, even trying to self-destruct his soul, but the sealing power was too strong, and he couldn't unleash his full strength.
Buzz—
final.
As Lu Tao withdrew, the last succumbing force was also injected into Mo Hao's soul.
In an instant.
A powerful mark of enslavement appeared on Mo Hao's soul.
"How is this possible? You actually succeeded!"
Mo Hao stared at Lu Tao, his face full of disbelief. This enslavement mark was too powerful, so powerful that even with his God Emperor cultivation, he was powerless to resist. With just a thought, Lu Tao could issue him any command.
He had no choice but to comply.
He wouldn't hesitate for a second, even if he were asked to self-destruct.
As for the fact that he retained his full consciousness and mind even after being enslaved, and could even freely release the hatred in his heart for Lu Tao, he was not surprised.
There are actually many similar methods of enslavement.
With his knowledge as a God Emperor, he had naturally seen quite a lot.
However, there are very few people who, with the cultivation of a God Emperor, can so perfectly control him, the God Emperor. At least, he has never seen or heard of such a method.
Lu Tao stared at Mo Hao and said coldly, "Have you not greeted your master yet?"
"Greetings, Lord!"
Mo Hao's face was filled with hatred, but his body language betrayed him as he respectfully bowed to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao nodded in satisfaction. He released the sealing power from Mo Hao's body and instructed, "Inscribe the situation of the dozens of domain prisons around Yulongtian into the jade slip."
"Yes, my lord!"
Mo Hao accepted the order and immediately took out a brand new jade slip from his own world to begin inscription.
At the same time, Lu Tao also instructed, "By the way, hand over all the resources in your world to me."
"Yes, my lord!"
Despite his bitter expression, Mo Hao had no choice but to comply.
Splash—
As Mohao opened up his world, he poured out a vast amount of resources, piling them up across the entire planet.
Divine stones, spiritual veins, divine veins, elixirs, items governed by rules, strange objects, and so on—it was all there, a dazzling array that could be seen from afar.
It must be said that the God Emperor was indeed wealthy.
Even Mo Hao, who was only at the early stage of God Emperor, had more resources than Lu Tao had previously obtained from the other thousands of God Kings and hundreds of God Emperors.
Among them, there are more than five hundred items that are governed by rules!
Looking at the large pile of items governed by rules, Lu Tao suddenly asked curiously, "Mo Hao, did you also oversee the Domain Prison back then?"
Mo Hao immediately replied, "My lord, two hundred million years ago, I also served as the prefect of a domain prison. In that domain prison, I raised my cultivation from the early stage of God Emperor to the seventh level of God Emperor. These rule-related items were also obtained in the domain prison."
Lu Tao's heart stirred upon hearing this. "When you were stationed in the Domain Prison, did all the resources you obtained belong to you, or did you have to hand over a portion?"
Mo Hao said, "Hand over half, and keep the other half for yourself."
"Then what about the true dragon bloodline you obtained?"
Lu Tao did not find the presence of the true dragon bloodline among his pile of items.
Mo Hao said, "Reporting to the Lord, not all domain prisons possess Dragon Transformation Pools. Only a very few domain prisons possess extraordinary treasures such as Dragon Transformation Pools, Phoenix Transformation Pools, and Qilin Pools."
"I see!"
Lu Tao nodded slightly. He had already guessed this and was not surprised.
It must be said that the Wasteland is not bad.
Not only does it possess the Dragon Transformation Pool, but despite its seemingly barren appearance, it is also relatively rich in resources, capable of giving birth to more than two thousand rule-based objects in just one hundred million years.
If Miao Yi hadn't died, his time in command would have ended, and his gains would have been even greater than Mo Hao's.
pity.
Miao Yi not only perished, but also shattered his own world.
The many resources he had once acquired also vanished.
However, Lu Tao also felt very fortunate.
Fortunately, Miao Yili still has a full five million years before his term ends, so he has no immediate plans to plunder the rules of the desolate region.
Otherwise, Lu Tao wouldn't have obtained so many items related to the rules.
Thinking about all this, Lu Tao said with even more regret, "It's a pity that Han Bing's world also self-destructed back then!"
If Han Bing hadn't self-destructed her world, with her mid-stage God Emperor's wealth, she would definitely have had even more of these things, including the items related to the rules, at least more than Mo Hao's fortune.
Hearing this, Mo Hao couldn't help but ask, "Master, was Senior Sister Han really killed by you back then?"
When asked this question, Mo Hao looked incredulous.
Keep in mind that at that time, Lu Tao was only at the God King realm.
Considering Lu Tao's incredible feat of advancing to the peak of the Divine Emperor realm in just one month, coupled with Han Bing's resentful howl before her death, it seems... that Han Bing's demise at Lu Tao's hands is not so hard to accept.
I guess so.
Lu Tao nodded, neither denying it nor denying it.
If it weren't for the power of the curse, in the state of the Lingdao Palace Master, killing Han Bing would undoubtedly be a pipe dream.
Therefore, it's not unreasonable to say that Han Bing perished at Lu Tao's hands.
Mo Hao exclaimed in surprise, "The Lord's methods are truly unbelievable. With only the God King realm, he was able to cause the mid-stage God Emperor to perish."
Mo Hao's attitude changed very quickly; he seemed to have accepted his status as a servant and even began to flatter Lu Tao.
In fact.
Mo Hao had figured it out by then.
Compared to what Lu Tao had told him before—that he would be killed—becoming Lu Tao's servant now meant at least he could live, which was certainly a better outcome for him.
Who would want to die if they could live?
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Lu Tao was always ruthless when dealing with enemies.
At this point, he only has some value, after all, he is a God Emperor. When he is no longer of use, he will only be used to feed Shan Yu.
Lu Tao glanced at Mo Hao indifferently, "Alright, hurry up and burn the information."
"Yes, my lord!"
Mo Hao dared not slack off and devoted himself to imprinting his understanding of the various domain prisons into the jade slip.
A moment later, he handed the jade slip to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao channeled his divine soul power into the prison, scanning the information of one domain prison after another, his heart heavy.
The number of domain prisons in Yulongtian is quite large, a total of sixty-one.
Twenty of them were controlled by the Tianyu Sect.
The remaining forty-one were controlled by various forces of the demon race, the monster race, and the human race.
And these domain prisons...
Basically, it gets cleaned up every hundred million years.
Some, like the Desolate Domain, only slaughter top-tier experts to seize top-tier bloodlines, rule-based items, strange objects, divine veins, and so on; others, however, raise them, informing the creatures of the Domain Prison of past battles, letting them live in fear and despair for a lifetime, and then slaughtering them all when the time comes.
Let those countless desperate souls throw themselves into the Myriad Souls Banner, thus enhancing its power.
Or perhaps, those billions of lives could be used for other purposes.
In short...
Compared to the desolate wilderness, the other prisons are much more miserable.
Whether it's a domain prison under the command of demons or a domain prison of the human race, they all end up like this.
They made no racial distinctions in their stance toward the beings in the prison.
For the powerful within the Divine Dynasty, the beings of the Domain Prison have always had only one identity: Ascended Ones!
Those who ascend to immortality deserve to die!
Whatever measures they take against the Ascended are not wrong!
"well!"
Lu Tao glanced at the jade slip and couldn't help but sigh silently.
Those who ascend to immortality within the territory of the Divine Dynasty are truly pitiful.
Things like the desolate region are alright, at least no one knows the specific truth behind it, and even if they live their whole lives in a daze, they still hold onto a sliver of hope.
In fact, more than 99% of living beings do not need to think about these things and can live a relatively peaceful life.
There is no issue of enduring any mental torment.
But for those in the prison who knew the truth, that kind of despairing mental torment accompanied them for life.
Their sky was gray, and they saw no hope whatsoever.
"Very well, then let's make a trip to the Domain Prison!"
Lu Tao put away the jade slip and prepared to visit the various domain prisons in Yulong Heaven.
