BOOM!!!
Uxas's Great Dark Heaven and Shinji's Crimson Apocalypse clashed violently against one another.
For the moment, it seemed Uxas held the advantage. His domain was slowly eroding Shinji's, causing the ocean of blood to churn and surge uncontrollably.
This did not necessarily mean Uxas was stronger — it was simply a matter of how their domains functioned.
After all, a domain capable of directly countering and consuming other domains was extremely rare!
On top of that, once Uxas revealed his true form and entered his fully corrupted state, the very concept of "blood" ceased to exist within him.
Shinji's strongest and most versatile ability had been rendered completely useless.
He was perfectly countered in every way.
Yet Shinji did not panic. He remained calm, searching his mind for a solution.
And there was a way.
Right now, he still had six Domain Fragments in his possession. If he merged them all into his domain, the Crimson Apocalypse would receive six consecutive power boosts.
Even if each only increased its strength by ten percent, it would be more than enough to overwhelm his opponent.
When your starting power was already this immense, even a mere one percent increase made a massive difference.
But these fragments were far too precious. Shinji had been reluctant to use them, wanting to collect all ten so he could combine them into a Domain Construction Scroll.
With that scroll, he would be able to manifest a second domain of his own — becoming a rare and formidable sorcerer capable of wielding two domains.
Once that happened, his power would reach a whole new level. Dealing with Uxas would be trivial.
So now he faced two choices: either strengthen his existing domain and drag this fight out until one of them collapsed... or gamble everything for a greater future.
Shinji gritted his teeth and chose the second option.
Accumulating Cursed Soul Points was never easy, but when the time came to spend them, there was no point in holding back.
He had earned a huge sum here, so it was only right to use it.
Having made up his mind, he mentally connected with his system and checked his balance: 109,800 Cursed Soul Points.
Of that, 48,000 points came as a reward for wiping out every Cursed Spirit in this mountain.
If I want to gamble for what I need, this might not be enough.
Without hesitation, he sold the cursed artifacts that Mizukage Mei Terumi had given him when he left Konoha — earning 7,000 points.
Then he sold the King Bear's Seal as well, adding another 20,000 points.
In total, he now had 136,800 Cursed Soul Points!
Over 130 thousand. That must be enough!
Seeing the number made Shinji wince a little. He had worked so hard just to see this amount finally pile up, and now it would vanish again.
Who knew how long it would take to reach his goal of 200,000 points?
"Begin the draw!"
Uxas was too focused on grinding Shinji down with his domain, which gave Shinji exactly the opening he needed.
First 10x draw...
✅ You received 100 Cursed Soul Points
✅ You received the System's sincere thanks
✅ You received Random Cursed Technique Fragment ×1
✅ You received the System's sincere thanks
✅ You received 500 Cursed Soul Points
✅ You received the System's sincere thanks
✅ You received the System's sincere thanks
✅ You received Domain Fragment ×1
✅ You received Cursed King's Spicy Lemon Chicken Feet ×1
✅ You received Cursed Treasure Map ×1
...
Nice!
On the very first try, he got exactly what he wanted — bringing his total to seven fragments, only three away from completing the set.
Even better, the Cursed King's Spicy Lemon Chicken Feet greatly expanded his maximum reserves of Cursed Energy. It came at just the right moment.
Without a second thought, Shinji popped it into his mouth.
Hmm, still tastes like lime and lemon. Not bad at all.
Feeling his energy replenish and swell once more, his expression steadied.
He had been worried he might build a second domain but lack the energy to activate it — a disaster he could not afford.
As for the Cursed Treasure Map, he stored it away safely for a future expedition.
He followed up with two more 10x draws.
He got the usual minimum rewards and some common items, but no more Domain Fragments.
Shinji took a deep breath. He knew the drop rate was low. Calming himself, he poured in more points.
Three more 10x draws, costing another 30,000 points.
A smile finally crossed his face — two more Domain Fragments!
Only one left now!
"Again!"
✅ You received Cursed Technique Enhancement Scroll Fragment ×1
✅ You received the System's sincere thanks
✅ You received the System's sincere thanks
✅ You received 500 Cursed Soul Points
...
Nothing.
"Another 10x draw!"
By now, he was fully committed — having spent most of what he had saved up over months. Today, one way or another, he would make his enemy pay it all back tenfold.
Amid a flood of "sincere thanks," just as Shinji thought this round was also empty, he heard the notification he had been waiting for.
✅ You received the System's sincere thanks
✅ You received Domain Fragment ×1
...
Perfect!
In total, he had spent 80,000 points, but he walked away with far more than just the fragments.
The full haul from eight draws:
- Recovered 6,800 Cursed Soul Points
- Random Cursed Technique Fragments ×11
- Cursed Technique Enhancement Scroll Fragments ×5
- Cursed King's Spicy Lemon Chicken Feet ×2
- Cursed Treasure Maps ×3
- Cursed Spirit Master Balls ×2
- Blank Cursed Spirit Fusion Card ×1
- Cursed Tool Transformation Scroll ×1
- Plus three low-grade cursed artifacts
He ate the second pair of chicken feet right away. Then he sold the three useless artifacts, leaving him with 66,600 Cursed Soul Points.
His balance had been cut by more than half, but it was worth it.
He combined all ten Domain Fragments into one complete Domain Construction Scroll, then checked the success rate for using Cursed Speech to craft it:
70%!
Shinji remembered it was only 51% the last time he checked. It had risen nearly 20% over time — proof he had real talent in this field.
Having already spent 80,000 points, he did not hesitate to pour in another 30,000, pushing the success rate up to 100%.
Begin constructing the new domain!
A gentle white light immediately wrapped around Shinji's entire form.
Trapped behind the surging Crimson Apocalypse, Uxas dared not cross over to interfere. Even as he noticed the strange transformation taking place, it is too late to stop it.
"Hmph! More cheap tricks! Once I crush your first domain, let's see what else you have left to defend yourself!"
Confidence radiated from Uxas's face. The blood ocean churned ever more violently, and the rate at which it was being swallowed increased.
But at that exact moment, Shinji opened his eyes and smiled.
He had not expected the domain forged through his own Cursed Speech ability to take this form.
The outcome of this battle... was already decided.
