When Lin Xiao's spiritual world and the plane of the dead became indistinguishable from each other, it meant that, just like Lin Xiao himself, it now possessed not only his spiritual power but also his soul power.
At this moment, the plane of the dead was no longer merely his "soul core" or his source of power; it had also become him.
And when the plane of the dead used Lin Xiao's body as a medium to begin resonating with the surrounding heaven and earth, the real world would also change because of Lin Xiao's power. This piece of heaven and earth would then transform into Lin Xiao's domain.
The other shore flowers connected the two banks of life and death, also making the boundary between life and death become blurred within Lin Xiao's domain.
Here, the dead were like the living; they had their own world and their own lives. It was a resting place for souls that all living beings could not escape or avoid.
It was also what Lin Xiao called the Netherworld.
In the previous instant, the Demon Empress, who had recovered some of her sanity, was still watching Lin Xiao and Chen Haisheng, who had fallen into her domain. But in the next instant, she sensed that something was wrong.
The sky was still dim; the sky in the extreme north seemed to have always been like this.
But at this moment, when the Demon Empress looked up, she still noticed some places that felt off.
In the extreme northern sky, thick clouds obscured the sunlight. Even though it was dim, one could still tell that it was currently daytime, and the sun was still hanging high, its light merely temporarily blocked.
But now, the sun in the sky seemed to have completely disappeared. It was as if a grayish, hazy light had risen, not enough to turn the entire world into night, but it was definitely not ordinary sunlight.
The heavy snow around them had already completely stopped during the previous collision, and the clouds in the sky… No, upon closer inspection, those were not the previous clouds. Looking carefully, they looked more like a layer of grayish, hazy fog. The light in this world was also emanating from there.
Under the gray, non-dazzling light that was almost without temperature, there seemed to be countless vague and indistinct shadows busily moving about. They looked like human figures, but they carried no human aura.
They seemed within reach, yet also as if they were in another world. The sounds by her ears had disappeared completely at some point. The quiet feeling made the Demon Empress feel a wave of peace, and even the sorrow, hatred, and anger in her heart dissipated quite a bit.
No!
The Demon Empress let out a low roar and suddenly sobered up. Her soul power surged as she tried to summon the power of the sea, but for a moment, she could not feel where the ocean wine was located.
Looking up, those human figures had all stopped their actions. Although their faces were not clear, the Demon Empress could feel that countless gazes were now staring tightly at her, as if they were about to swarm forward and tear her into pieces at any moment.
Her domain had quietly dissipated at some unknown time, or perhaps it had been silently covered over. Her body was constantly issuing warnings, telling her to leave this place. It was her survival instinct urging her to escape the call of death.
"Roar—"
Another roar sounded. The "illusion" from before finally disappeared from the Demon Empress's eyes. Looking up, the sky was still dim, but it was now filled with countless stars.
The light of those stars emitted a dangerous aura, just like the human figures she had just seen. The light, like those people's gazes, seemed intent on completely tearing her apart.
In the next instant, the light of those stars turned substantial. Countless starlights fell onto her enormous body, illuminating the entire heaven and earth as if it were daytime.
Lin Xiao stood suspended in the air, watching as the "stars'" attacks all landed on the Demon Empress.
The Stars had been iterated from the self-propelled soul-guided cannon to the present, and had long since matched his soul mentor rank, becoming the second ten-level soul tool on his body besides the Nether River's Embrace.
Although after breaking through to the Limit level, Lin Xiao had not yet had time to improve the Stars again, sometimes a sufficient quantity was enough to play a decisive role.
Even the Demon Empress could not remain completely unscathed while simultaneously enduring the attacks of all the Stars. Her aura was instantly submerged under Lin Xiao's assault. On the other side, Chen Haisheng also took the opportunity to break free from the Demon Empress's domain.
However, even after escaping from the Demon Empress's domain, he still felt somewhat off. When he tried to summon the power of the sea, just like the Demon Empress, he could not determine the location of the ocean. Looking down, there seemed to be a small river flowing beneath his feet.
But for some reason, he always felt that this "small river" was definitely not a river that flowed into the sea. Just one glance at it made his body feel ice-cold, and he subconsciously stepped away half a step.
Looking around, in merely a short moment, he felt as if he had already left the Douluo Continent and arrived in a completely unfamiliar world.
Only Lin Xiao's figure in the air gave him some sense of stability.
Seeing the Demon Empress's predicament again, and recalling his previous plan, Chen Haisheng suddenly shook his head slightly.
Perhaps even if he had made up his mind to take action back when facing the Evil Emperor, he still wouldn't have been able to defeat Lin Xiao as originally planned.
Thinking of this, Chen Haisheng suddenly felt a bit fortunate. Just as his grandfather had said, compared to divine oracles, his intuition and judgment seemed to be his more valuable assets.
The fifth, seventh, and eighth soul rings around Lin Xiao lit up simultaneously, emitting dazzling light. He watched the Demon Empress submerged in the Stars without much thought about what Chen Haisheng beside him was thinking.
His gaze was ice-cold, and the soul power within his body surged endlessly. The next attack was already being prepared.
"No—"
At this moment, the Demon Empress suddenly let out an angry roar. A thick, bloody aura emanated from her, and her momentum rose higher and higher.
Both Chen Haisheng and Lin Xiao's expressions changed at the same time.
Chen Haisheng had not expected that, even at this point, the Demon Empress could still erupt with such power.
On the other side, Lin Xiao did not feel much fear in his heart. Instead, he felt more surprise.
On the Demon Empress's body, he had finally sensed the aura of Electrolux's divine sense fragment.
The Demon Empress did not know who Electrolux was, nor did she know about any divine sense fragment. She only knew that by chance, she had obtained a method to repair injuries and increase her cultivation.
Even though this method required her to continuously blood-sacrifice other living beings, she did not care. Back when the Deep Sea Demon Whale King died, and the other soul beasts destroyed her home, she no longer had any attachment left to this ocean.
To verify its authenticity, the Demon Empress had once taught this blood-sacrifice method to a mermaid who had pledged allegiance to her, wanting that mermaid to help test it. But in the end, she had never received any response.
Of course, she couldn't have received one, because the Grand Elder who had obtained the blood-sacrifice method from her had long since become Lin Xiao's soul ring.
Even Lin Xiao himself did not know that there had once been a moment when he had been so close to Electrolux's divine sense fragment.
With no other choice, the Demon Empress could only test it herself.
Fortunately, she had succeeded. The blood-sacrifice method was indeed effective.
And now, when she sensed the danger to her life under Lin Xiao's attacks, she subconsciously thought of this powerful force of unknown origin.
