The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1497 - 1498: Dead Soul Domain

On the day Ye Mo left the Wraith Clan, the news that the Wraith Clan had defeated the Dead Soul Royal Family spread to Lingwu Continent, and the Wraith Clan also stated they would not infringe upon Lingwu Continent within a hundred years.

This news shocked all the forces of Lingwu Continent. The opening of the Vanquishing Martial Realm had kept them in a state of tense preparation for war. But now, with the Dead Soul Royal Family defeated by the Wraith Clan and the announcement of non-aggression towards Lingwu Continent, the Spirit Martial Alliance Army breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they started to speculate if the Wraith Clan might be plotting something else. After all, the Dead Soul Royal Family had initially abandoned their attack on Lingwu Continent due to the constraints from the Wraith Clan. But now, having defeated the Dead Soul Royal Family, why wouldn’t the Wraith Clan infringe upon Lingwu Continent?

To this end, Ancestor Bodhi made multiple inquiries, even extending intelligence to Wraith Land. However, the investigation only revealed that the Wraith Emperor had defeated Soul Master Ao Cangwu, pursued him, and ultimately killed him, resulting in the direct annexation of the Dead Soul Royal Family.

This news caused Ancestor Bodhi to tremble slightly; for a figure like the Soul Master to be defeated was absolutely hard for them to believe.

But since the Wraith Clan announced it would not infringe upon Lingwu Continent within a hundred years, naturally, he was relieved, and the Spirit Martial Alliance Army also announced its dissolution at this time.

...

The Dead Soul Domain is one of the three major domains in Wraith Land, and it’s the most eerie region, filled only with dead souls and spirits.

Dead souls refer to martial artists who have not reached the Divine Venerate Realm. After dying, there remains a dead soul, which returns to the Dead Soul Domain. Nearly all dead souls from the Three Thousand Dead Spirits Realm will return here, filling the domain with all kinds of specters.

For Ye Mo to travel to the Dead Soul Domain in his flesh is simply impossible; he would be constrained by the Power of Laws.

Before coming to the Dead Soul Domain, Ye Mo had read a book about this place, gaining an understanding of it.

The Dead Soul Domain, particularly Dead Spirit Mountain, is an illusory, translucent mountain rising up to ten thousand feet high. The mountain is filled with soul origins, and within it lies a gateway, the only real entity amidst the illusions.

From time to time, soul bodies emerged from the portal, only to be incorporated by the guards stationed beside the gateway.

Most of these soul bodies had Third Layer and Fourth Layer Soul Realm cultivation, emitting mainly white or blue colors, indicating they were ordinary or low-level soul bodies. However, red soul bodies were rare.

Out of a hundred soul bodies, one might not even see a purple Intermediate Soul Body.

As for the Advanced Soul Body emitting red light, one might not encounter even a single one in a hundred years.

The Perfect Soul Body emitting gold light is unique in the whole Dead Soul Domain, belonging to the domain master, Luo Hun!

"You ordinary soul bodies have come to the Dead Soul Domain; you can only become servants and household members for life, understand?"

One of the blue light soul body guards shouted loudly.

"Why? I’ve cultivated to the Fourth Layer Soul Realm!"

One of the white light soul bodies, unwilling, shouted loudly.

"Hmph, in the Dead Soul Domain, we don’t care about your soul cultivation; only your soul grade matters. The higher your soul grade, the higher your status here."

The blue light soul body guard kicked the fourth-layer white light soul body directly, saying: "The Dead Soul Domain is the best place for you shattered flesh martial artists. Since you’re here, abide by the rules; if you resist, I won’t mind killing you to enhance my strength!"

This guard is a low-level soul body, hence can act casually as a guard in the Dead Soul Domain, holding a higher status.

Intermediate soul bodies have become quasi-noble existences.

Advanced soul bodies are dominating figures.

In the Dead Soul Domain, soul origin is in abundance, and cultivation here faces no bottleneck. With prolonged presence, one reaches the Ninth Layer Soul Realm.

"Wang Ming, stop intimidating them; you’re scaring those behind into trembling."

Another low-level soul body guard commented.

"Just a group of ordinary soul bodies; if they don’t know some rules here, they’ll find themselves on a path to death."

After Wang Ming finished speaking, he commanded the guards to incorporate all the incoming ordinary soul bodies, assigning them to various tasks.

"Wang Ming, I just heard from the outside that the Wraith Domain recently erupted in war. Ao Cangwu lost to the Wraith Emperor and was reportedly killed by the Wraith Emperor. Guess if his soul body came here, we could have some fun?"

"What? Ao Cangwu was killed by the Wraith Emperor? That’s really strange news. If he did come to the Dead Soul Domain, I’d strip him of his skin; he killed me outright back in the day."

"But for someone like Ao Cangwu, his soul body’s grade shouldn’t be bad!"

The two chatted, then two soul bodies were transmitted from the portal, and as they appeared before them, their pupils contracted.

"Advanced Soul Body, Perfect Soul Body!"

All the guards gazed at these two soul bodies, one emitting gold and the other red light, seldom seen in the world, especially the gold soul body, compelling them to rub their eyes.

"It’s actually a Perfect Soul Body, only the domain master possesses this!"

Wang Ming’s voice began to tremble.

"This must be Dead Spirit Mountain in the Dead Soul Domain!"

Ye Mo glanced around, speaking to the man beside him.

"Such dense soul origin; this must indeed be a haven for soul body cultivation."

Mou Yu commented.

"Master!"

All the guards knelt halfway down.

"Rise!"

With a wave of Ye Mo’s hand, he lifted them up and said: "I’d like to ask you something: where are the dead souls held?"

Having come to the Dead Soul Domain, Ye Mo fully understood; here, soul grades decide everything. Being a Perfect Soul Body, he was the supreme existence here.

So, to these guards, he could use a commanding tone.

"Are they trying to rescue someone?"

Wang Ming contemplated and said: "Masters, the dead souls are held in the Three Thousand Dead Spirits Realm, not a place our souls can visit. It is guarded by ghost spirits, and only the domain master can enter."

"Where is your domain master?"

Ye Mo asked.

"The domain master lives in the Dead Soul Castle. With the master’s Perfect Soul Body, if you can defeat the domain master, you’ll replace him and become the new domain master, then access the Three Thousand Dead Spirits Realm."

Wang Ming immediately flattered.

To compete for domain master, one must possess a rare Perfect Soul Body and defeat the previous domain master. Once both requirements are met, one can become the domain master of the Dead Soul Domain. This term’s domain master Luo Hun, in life, was an unrivaled figure. In death, he cultivated in the Dead Soul Domain, reaching Great Perfection of Spirit, reigning supreme in the Dead Soul Domain!
