"You wouldn't be able to learn this."
"Because—"
Tang Lan activated the Black Hole Domain through his Eight Spider Lances.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others, standing within its range, immediately felt their inner power surging out of their bodies like a dam bursting open!
——This was the sole ability of the Black Hole Domain: Brutal Energy Plundering!
As long as something contained energy, no matter what it was, the Black Hole Domain would tear it apart, devour it, and compress it into pure spirit power to supply Tang Lan.
It was practically a fantasy version of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill (Beiming Shengong).
"A domain?" Zhao Wuji's eyes widened. "Another new domain? Sect Master, you—"
Blue Silver Life Domain, Soul Spirit Domain.
And now, this.
Are domains something you can just collect like wholesale goods?!
This was getting ridiculous!
Tang Lan dismissed the Black Hole Domain, giving the others time to recover.
Meanwhile, he checked his own gains.
Soul rings? No need to bother—none of them carried soul skills.
Instead, he summoned the Thunderflame Haotian Hammer and weighed it in his hand.
36 tons!
The Ice and Snow Emperors' sacrifices had increased its weight by 11 tons—now barely over half of Little Lei's weight.
At the same time, his physical body had strengthened proportionally.
His Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor's soul ring age had also increased, reaching 500,000 years.
He was now halfway to a full million-year transformation.
At this moment—
Though he was still a seven-ring Soul Sage, his physical toughness already surpassed a Rank 92 Power-type Titled Douluo.
Further Gains
His Ice Jade Scorpion Tail, which had absorbed the Ice Emperor's Emperor Scorpion Tail, had undergone significant evolution.
Its age increased from 125,100 years to 450,000 years.
Additionally, it gained a new soul bone skill—
Frozen Domain!
A domain-type soul bone ability that instantly superfreezes the surrounding area.
At full power, the Ice Emperor could freeze an entire thousand-mile radius!
Since he already had one soul bone skill, it didn't grant him another.
However—
His Flame-Frozen Poison Needle ability originally functioned by colliding Ultimate Ice with Nine Yang Divine Skill's "Ultimate Fire", generating powerful thrust force to pierce enemies.
But the two forces had to be equal for it to work.
Now, with Tang Lan's Ultimate Ice surpassing even Shui Bing'er's, his Nine Yang Divine Skill's fire attribute was completely overpowered.
The result?
——The Nine Yang Divine Skill's fire got frozen.
Yes. Frozen.
Which meant... that soul bone skill was now useless.
Of course—
If Tang Lan could obtain Ultimate Fire, not only could this ability be restored, but it could even become a T0-tier trump card!
Unfortunately—
There were no known fierce beasts with Ultimate Fire.
His only hope—
Was to check the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for any remnants left behind by Fire Dragon King.
But there was no rush for that.
Reviving his mother came first.
Soul Bone Upgrade: Snow Emperor's Left Arm
Tang Lan turned his attention to his 700,000-year Snow Emperor's "Extreme Ice of the Frozen Heavens" left arm.
——Soul Bone Skill: Emperor Frozen Heavens · Snow Dance Radiance!
Another domain-type soul bone skill.
Unlike Frozen Domain, which centered around his body,
Snow Dance Radiance focused on covering a massive area.
The Snow Emperor could instantly transform everything within a 10-kilometer radius into her personal domain.
Wherever the snowflakes danced, it became a forbidden zone of life.
Even the sunlight itself would freeze into ice.
The sheer terror of it was unimaginable!
But when Tang Lan activated it—
Closing his eyes, he triggered the soul bone.
In the next moment—
He sensed the icy power of the Extreme North within a 3,000-meter radius completely falling under his control.
He could enhance this energy with Ultimate Ice and use it to activate soul skills at will.
But aside from Frozen Domain, his ice-related soul skills were—
Shh! Shh! Shh!—
Deep blue ice swords materialized in the air within Snow Dance Radiance, exuding a piercing chill.
Emperor Sword · Ice Extreme Unrivaled!
The second soul bone skill of Snow Emperor's left arm.
One of the Snow Emperor's three signature abilities.
Tang Lan had specifically chosen it.
With a surge of spiritual power, he manipulated the Emperor Swords.
They spun rapidly around him, moving so fast that afterimages trailed behind, forming a sword storm.
Even just watching it made people's scalps tingle!
Tang Lan, however, was immensely satisfied.
This—
This is what a true Sword Immortal should be!
Though his current limit was controlling 15 Emperor Swords,
what about the future?
After becoming a god, performing a "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin" shouldn't be a problem, right?
Can't wait!
At that moment, Snow Emperor suddenly spoke up—
"Lan."
"My Snow Dance Radiance and Ice Emperor's Frozen Domain—shouldn't they be able to form what you humans call a 'Domain Fusion Skill'?"
Domain Fusion Skill?
No one present had ever heard of such a thing before.
All eyes turned to Tang Lan.
Tang Lan nodded and activated the Frozen Domain from his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Tail.
The Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor instinctively cooperated, seamlessly merging their two domains into a single entity.
The originally massive 3,000-meter radius shrank down to around 1,000 meters.
But within this area—
The visibly dense ice-blue energy was so intense that it felt as if it could freeze one's thoughts.
Even those standing inside felt their brain functions slowing down.
From Tang Lan's perspective—
The entire domain was now saturated with Ultimate Ice.
But rather than being chaotic, it was exceptionally obedient, moving exactly as he willed it to.
With just a thought, he could create blizzards, hailstorms, forests of ice spears—
It was as if—
He had absolute control over this miniature world!
Thus, the Domain Fusion Skill—
Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain!!!
Tang Lan played around with it for a bit—
Then deactivated the domain.
He checked his energy reserves—
Damn!
That short half-minute experiment had drained 40% of his spiritual power.
And this wasn't just ordinary soul power—
It was 100 times denser than normal soul power!
If a regular Soul Master had attempted this, they'd have been drained dry, completely exhausted like a Soul Douluo after an extreme battle.
"Good power, but insane energy consumption."
Tang Lan calmly evaluated—
"Unless I specifically need its effects, the same amount of energy would be better spent swinging my Thunderflame Haotian Hammer—it'd do way more damage."
Hearing this, both the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor felt utterly embarrassed.
A rare, nearly unheard-of Domain Fusion Skill,
and this guy was saying it wasn't even as good as a basic attack?!
But...
Thinking about Tang Lan's raw destructive power, they couldn't deny it.
——The Thunderflame Haotian Hammer was simply more violent.
In the end, the two emperors headbutted Tang Lan in frustration before retreating back into his spiritual world.
——They needed time to heal their wounded pride.
Tang Lan chuckled, not taking it to heart.
After all, he wielded six different domains.
If he had to choose the most powerful one, it would still be the Blue Silver Life Domain.
Though it wasn't as destructive as the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain,
it granted him immense regeneration and endurance, significantly extending his peak combat duration.
That was something the fusion domain simply couldn't provide.
"Alright." Tang Lan clapped his hands. "Now that we've got our soul spirits, I'll take you all back to Seagod Island."
"We really should head back soon," Zhu Zhuqing agreed. "There's still over a month left for training under the Seagod's Light—we can't waste that."
This woman—
Even after choosing to follow Tang Lan, she never lost her determination to grow stronger.
——In fact, to keep up with him, her conviction had only grown even stronger!
"Exactly. We can't waste any time," Shui Bing'er nodded. "Before we ascend to godhood, every second counts!"
"Agreed!"
"Let's move out!"
"We're ready!"
