Chapter 125: Soul Domain
After an unknown amount of time, Rios finally woke up from his coma!
Rios slowly got up and felt a strange and intense headache affecting his entire head.
"Ah, what is this?" Rios held his head because of the pain, then looked at an hourglass placed on one of the shelves in the room.
"Damn, was I unconscious for a full five hours!" Rios rubbed his forehead, and after several seconds of focusing on reality and ignoring the headache, Rios opened his eyes wide!
"C-Could this be possible!" Rios stared ahead in shock.
He wasn’t looking at anything in particular, but what he discovered in his memories made his face twist into an expression of disbelief!
"System, open the Status Panel!"
Immediately after hearing Rios’s command, the Status Panel opened in front of him.
Rios scrolled the panel upward and quickly reached the Laws section. He opened his eyes wide once again and stared at it in disbelief!
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
[Status Panel Update]
[Personal Laws]
1. Derivation (Cosmic 5) 30%
2. Life (Cosmic 5) 30%
[Additional Laws]
1. Formation (Cosmic 4) 100%
2. Blood (Major 4) 100%
3. Arrays (Major 4) 100%
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
* Important Note: The First Grade of a Law = Level Four of the Energy Levels
The Second Grade of a Law = Level Five of the Energy Levels
And so on...
ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Rios stared at the panel in shock and opened his mouth, barely able to utter a word. "Th-This is impossible."
It was obvious to Rios that he had comprehended the First Grade of the three additional Laws, and had even comprehended one-third of the Second Grade of both the Cosmic Law of Life and the Cosmic Law of Derivation!
All of this while he had not even broken through to Level Four yet!
In addition, there were many ideas running through his mind at this moment related to those Laws.
Ideas about inventions, techniques, and arrays came to Rios’s mind, related to the Laws of Life, Derivation, Formation, Blood, and Arrays, in addition to the Soul Path!
Yes, Rios had mastered the Soul Path just two days ago after studying Soul Path techniques, and had opened two Soul Gates!
And all of this credit belonged to the Immortal-grade Abyss Tomb technique!
---
Two days ago, in the training room, Rios sat while studying Soul techniques.
"So that’s how it works," Rios muttered before entering his own Soul Domain.
The space in front of Rios was completely empty, covered in whiteness from every direction. In the middle of this white world was the original form of the Tree of Abyss, with its roots extending everywhere.
Nearby, there had originally been Elena’s soul manifestation that had resulted from the Soul Oath, but after Rios used the Abyss Tomb technique to make thousands swear loyalty to him, a gigantic tombstone appeared in place of Elena’s manifestation, with thousands of names engraved upon it!
"I used to think that my Soul Domain was something ordinary, but it seems that it isn’t anymore," Rios looked at his Soul Domain, which had reached hundreds of meters in size, and furrowed his brows.
He had seen Elena’s Soul Domain before, and its size had only been several dozen meters.
But that wasn’t the problem... the problem revolved around the fact that the Soul Domain shouldn’t have been opened for Rios or Elena in the first place!
Rios attributed the opening of his Soul Domain and its enormous size to the Immortal-grade Abyss Tomb technique.
But what about Elena...!
When both Thandria and Etham swore the Soul Oath to Rios, he examined them at the time and found that they had not opened their own Soul Domains yet. Because of his ignorance at the time, he thought it was something unique to only him and Elena.
But it seemed that it was now more than just something special!
Rios pushed these thoughts aside and focused on the Soul Domain in front of him.
"The instructions I learned from the techniques say that I can use my Soul techniques inside my Soul Domain and manifest them," Rios muttered to himself and looked ahead. "Shall we try it then?"
Rios only possessed one Soul technique, which was the Abyss Tomb technique.
Rios stood on the white ground beneath him and began activating the Abyss Tomb technique!
Immediately, tombstones began emerging from the white ground, and a large area of this world turned into absolute darkness... but with the appearance of the Abyss Tomb technique within Rios’s Soul Domain, something unusual happened!
As soon as they appeared in his Soul Domain, the tombstones began releasing numerous white dots, and after a while, they began releasing large white spheres.
"Are these Soul Containers!" Rios looked at the large white spheres and felt somewhat astonished!
Rios had read about them in the Soul techniques. They were creatures that lived in the Soul World, and by nourishing them with Soul Essence, a Soul Master could summon them to fight alongside him!
But obtaining even one of them was nothing more than a stroke of luck. In an attempt to capture one, you might fail a hundred times or more and only obtain one in the end!
But what Rios had before him at this moment were thousands of Soul Containers!
Rios looked at the large white spheres and carefully examined what was inside them, only to be surprised by what he saw!
Inside them were Soul Containers in the form of Centaurs!
Upon seeing this, Rios quickly realized something, and he soon began counting the Soul Containers.
There were nearly thirty thousand of them!
"Isn’t this the same number as the Centaur army I annihilated using the Abyss Tomb technique!" Rios watched the Soul Containers floating in the air and smiled foolishly. "Don’t tell me that everyone I kill using the Abyss Tomb technique turns into a Soul Container!"
The large white spheres began descending to the ground and burst like bubbles, and a Centaur emerged from each sphere and wandered around aimlessly.
The same thing happened with the white dots, which represented Soul Fragments. They began merging with this world, causing the world to shake violently, and numerous cracks began appearing throughout it!
