His gaze swept across the battlefield below. Watching the defensive lines continuously contract and the Abyss's territory expand, Su Ming's face revealed no expression.
The Abyssal Sage King's main body had entered the channel, so the Monarchs naturally could no longer hide. Only now had the war truly begun.
Su Ming also knew how great an impact this war would have on the Spirit Master world, but it was a necessary ordeal.
He also knew that this war was started by his own decision.
It could be said that every Spirit Master who died on this battlefield was implicated by Su Ming.
However, so what?
Su Ming's gaze was calm as he quietly watched below.
He did not blame himself.
For the sake of his own cultivation, he had no regrets.
Yes, a great many Spirit Masters had died because of him, but some had also advanced further through this trial, breaking free of their shackles and gaining a path to prominence.
Su Ming looked at one Spirit Master—a youth wielding a spear. His spear technique was fluid, every thrust delivered with full force, piercing Abyssal creatures one by one. The spear radiated a spiritual brilliance.
This was a youth who had obtained a piece of ninefold Soul Refined Alloy.
Very lucky.
Of the hundred pieces of Soul Refined Alloy Su Ming had scattered, only three were ninefold alloys.
This youth had not lived up to the alloy. Not only had he fused it into his Martial Soul, but he had also fused it into his Spirit Ring in a short time.
Su Ming had noticed him, naturally, because of that ninefold Soul Refined Alloy.
But what truly made Su Ming curious about this youth was his fortune.
Opportunity!
The youth was only at the Spirit Emperor level, seemingly under twenty years old.
His six Spirit Rings all perfectly corresponded to components of the materials used in that piece of Soul Refined Spirit Alloy.
A perfect match.
with this Spirit Alloy, the youth had completed the fusion of his six Spirit Skills, advancing by leaps and bounds on this battlefield.
Injured, he would bathe in the light rain to recover, retreating while fighting, then charge forward again once his wounds healed.
Cycle after cycle, tirelessly.
He had five pieces of Spirit Refined metal on him, covering his right hand, right shoulder, chest, waist, and head, all already crafted into quasi-Two-Word Battle Armor components.
At the Spirit Emperor level, with incomplete quasi-Two-Word Battle Armor, he could exert strength at the Spirit Douluo level!
This was opportunity!
It was also the fortune Su Ming brought to the Spirit Master world.
But opportunity often accompanied risk.
As for the fact that all this was a tribulation forcibly imposed on the Spirit Master world by Su Ming, he did not deny it.
After analyzing full circle, back to the starting point.
Su Ming did not blame himself, nor did he regret. All of this was for cultivation.
Imperceptibly, the world began to change.
With Su Ming as the center, infinite mysteries manifested.
Looking up at the sky, one could see countless magnificent scenes and patterns, but upon trying to contemplate them, one could not understand their mysteries.
The scene was very mystical, not any tangible pattern, but rather a tapestry of interwoven light and shadow.
Some saw more, as if glimpsing their own past within it, and also seeing events that had never happened—things that seemed to be the future.
Others simply saw a mass of blurry light and shadow.
God Realm.
Watching the scene in the small planar channel from afar, the God of Destruction was also deep in thought.
What kind of domain was this?
Indeed, the manifestation appearing around Su Ming was a domain.
It was the manifestation of spiritual power, evolving a part of Su Ming's insights.
At the same time, it also represented that Su Ming's spiritual domain had finally taken shape.
What domain was this?
The God of Destruction was unwilling to accept the answer in his heart.
Fate!
The interweaving of past and future—what else could this be if not fate?
"When did he also cultivate fate? The cohesion of a spiritual domain should be related to one's life experiences, cultivation insights, and soul characteristics, right?"
Tang San was equally puzzled.
"Fate... could it be just because he obtained the Auspicious Beast?"
Thinking this, Tang San's expression darkened. He clenched the Sea God Trident in his hand tightly.
"Damn it. This should have been Xiao Qi's fortune."
Su Ming's gaze flickered.
"My spiritual domain... can it increase my strength and weaken my enemies?"
Su Ming's expression was peculiar.
Any domain would have the effect of amplifying oneself and suppressing the enemy, aside from its characteristic effects.
But the characteristic of Su Ming's spiritual domain was precisely amplifying oneself and suppressing the enemy.
Of course, the amplification granted oneself a stronger state from the future, while the suppression returned the enemy to a weaker state from the past.
"This is similar to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Arena of Life and Death, except my domain's effect is even more perverted."
Not only could it turn the enemy into their weaker past self, but it could also turn oneself into a stronger future state.
On top of that, there were the standard amplification and suppression effects of a domain.
Too strong!
Su Ming was very satisfied with his spiritual domain.
This domain was truly specialized for cross-level fighting.
With his domain newly formed, Su Ming naturally wanted to test it.
Conveniently, his External World, with the help of the blank domain of his Battle Armor, already covered the battlefield. He now fused his spiritual domain into it as well.
The Battle Armor's blank domain had no additional domain effects. Its only function was expansion: expanding the range of the External World and also expanding the effects of Su Ming's other domains.
Thus, Su Ming's spiritual domain spread across the entire battlefield.
All Spirit Masters' strength was instantly amplified.
This was not ordinary amplification.
It was the amplification of their future selves after breakthrough!
That is to say, sensing their current state would be beneficial to their future breakthroughs.
Of course, the Spirit Masters had no opportunity to sense their own states right now, but amidst battle, they were more clearly aware of their own changes.
The weaker the Spirit Master, the stronger the amplification.
Du Busi's change was barely noticeable.
If the Spirit Master side had grown stronger, the Abyss side had grown weaker.
Su Ming's domain could trace back states, returning them to a weaker period of the past.
But this ability wasn't yet thorough enough to regress an opponent to the age of six, as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Arena of Life and Death could.
Abyssal creatures had existed for a very long time, and their power was very stable. Su Ming looking back the past few years could not return them to a weaker state.
However, he could return these Abyssal creatures to a state of injury.
The Abyssal Sage King was transforming the small plane's environment. Abyssal energy permeated everywhere, constantly healing the Abyssal creatures' wounds.
The same went for the Monarchs. Any injury they had would be repaired using the core power of the plane they commanded.
Su Ming's spiritual domain returned them to their injured state.
That is to say, within Su Ming's domain, if an enemy was injured, they stayed injured.
No matter how much healing they received, they would be retroactively to their most severely wounded state!
With one increase and one decrease, the battlefield situation once again reached a stalemate.
Su Ming did not stop.
His voice once again reached the ears of every Spirit Master below.
"I, Su Ming, have today fused the Necromancer Demiplane into the Abyssal channel, evolving this small plane, accommodating the laws of both the Douluo and Abyss planes, to serve as a realm of reincarnation."
"Any Spirit Master who dies in battle here may re-enter the cycle of reincarnation and return from the dead!"
Blessings...
