Zhen Hun floated out of Ye Ling's body and scanned the empty space around them. He asked Ye Ling, "Did you deal with that guy?"
Ye Ling nodded, "Yes, but unfortunately, the inheritance within him refused me. I couldn't master the Soul Seizing Thread."
Zhen Hun waved his hand dismissively, "Hmph, if it refused you, so be it. The Soul Seizing Thread isn't some amazing skill anyway, you wouldn't be able to use it even if you learned it."
Ye Ling nodded and smiled at Zhen Hun's words, not denying them.
After all, he had already experienced the strength of the Soul Seizing Thread on Xie Bugui. While that thing could directly harm the soul, it was completely countered by runes. Dafeng Novel Network.
Although Xie Bugui hadn't fully mastered the Soul Seizing Thread, Ye Ling's rune usage wasn't very proficient either. If both the runes and the Soul Seizing Thread were at their peak, Ye Ling believed the runes would crush the Soul Seizing Thread.
After Zhen Hun finished his critique of the Soul Seizing Thread, he wasted no time and said to Ye Ling, "Let's put Xie Bugui's matter aside for now. While the independent space still exists, let's finish what we need to do. Kid, sit down, I'll teach you how to develop your domain."
"Mhm..." Ye Ling nodded and without hesitation, sat down in the void.
Seeing Ye Ling enter a meditative state, Zhen Hun continued, "First, release your Barren Domain."
Ye Ling followed Zhen Hun's instructions and released the Barren Domain, covering a radius of ten meters.
Zhen Hun continued, "Kid, the domain you've released is one of the highest-tier domains. Throughout the inner and outer realms, there are almost no domains stronger than this. Therefore, you can completely use the Barren Domain as a template to develop your own domain."
Ye Ling asked, "How should I do that?"
Zhen Hun replied, "Clear your mind, delve into the deepest part of your consciousness, and uncover the hidden power within you... You must understand one thing: within your own domain, you should be the sole king. With this standard, explore it yourself."
"The sole king..."
Ye Ling murmured, clearing his mind as Zhen Hun had instructed, and began to uncover the power hidden in the deepest part of his body.
Soon, Ye Ling found himself in a space of endless darkness, surrounded by nothingness.
"Zhen Hun?"
Ye Ling tried calling out to Zhen Hun in the darkness but received no response.
"Is this the deepest part of my consciousness? It seems everything from now on depends on myself... But how should I develop my domain?" Ye Ling stood in the darkness, unable to see anything, not even sensing any spiritual energy around him!
In this situation, Ye Ling didn't know where to start.
However, just as Ye Ling was at a loss, a ray of light suddenly shone down from above, piercing the endless darkness.
Ye Ling looked towards the light and saw a man in a black robe sitting in the center of the Barren Domain, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.
That man was like the sole king within the Barren Domain.
"Is that the creator of the Barren Domain, the former God of Creation..." Ye Ling looked up at the man in the black robe and muttered to himself.
Although he could clearly sense the existence of the Barren Domain and the terrifying aura of the man, he couldn't see the man's face no matter what.
Just as Ye Ling attempted to approach the man in the black robe above, the light that pierced the darkness suddenly vanished, and the figure of the man in the black robe dissipated, returning Ye Ling to the darkness.
Soon, four rivers of the Great Dao appeared in the dark space. Besides the familiar Space-Time Great Dao and Reincarnation Great Dao, there were also the Void Great Dao and the Annihilation Great Dao.
The four foundational laws, all manifested!
The four rivers of the Great Dao surged in the air, and the boundless power of the Great Dao enveloped Ye Ling, making him feel an unprecedented wonder.
"First the creator of the Barren Domain, then the four fundamental laws... Is this the beginning of domain construction?"
Ye Ling looked at the four surging rivers of the Great Dao above, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. Then, a tremor suddenly appeared in his heart, and his mind was filled with inspiration!
Realizing this was an opportunity, Ye Ling unhesitatingly sat down to seize those inspirations, carefully experiencing the Great Dao in the air, and began to construct his own domain.
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
Ye Ling's heartbeat echoed in the darkness, and a power belonging exclusively to Ye Ling gradually emerged from his body, spreading outwards and illuminating the dark space.
However, before the power could spread far, it vanished like a popped bubble.
"Failed?"
Ye Ling was not discouraged by the first failure in constructing his domain. He once again followed the tremor he had felt earlier and began to construct his domain again.
That peculiar power once again emanated from Ye Ling's body, spreading outwards and illuminating the dark space.
But after a short while, the power vanished once more.
"Continue!" Ye Ling was still not discouraged and constructed his domain again.
Failed!
"Again!"
Failed!
"Again!"
In this dark space, Ye Ling didn't know how many times he had constructed his own domain, but each time it failed just as the nascent form of the domain appeared.
Ye Ling was like a possessed being, repeating the process of domain construction, tireless, unyielding to failure, like a machine.
Outside the independent space, Zhen Hun watched Ye Ling sitting in the center of the Barren Domain, his eyes filled with deep concern. He muttered to himself, "Kid, developing a domain is a mix of opportunity and risk. You must not become possessed and trapped in there forever..."
Everyone's experience in developing a domain is different. Zhen Hun didn't know what Ye Ling was going through now. He couldn't help in any way and could only watch.
Everything depended entirely on Ye Ling's destiny!
Bang!!!
At this moment, the independent space was suddenly attacked from the outside, and the entire independent space showed signs of collapse!
Zhen Hun saw the surging ripples at the edge of the independent space, and anxiety welled up in his eyes. He cursed, "Damn it! Why attack at this particular moment?"
Ye Ling was currently developing his domain and couldn't perceive anything happening in the outside world. Zhen Hun himself didn't have much power and couldn't resist the invasion from the outside!
Once powerful beings from the outside invaded this independent space, they could completely use this independent space as a bridge to construct a passage connecting the inner and outer realms!
At that time, the universe would be in peril!
Zhen Hun had to restore the cosmic barrier and prevent the invasion from the outside before the edge of the independent space was breached.
Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be a difficult task; he could simply withdraw the independent space. However, Ye Ling was currently using the Great Dao laws from the outside to create his domain!
If Zhen Hun were to withdraw the independent space now, cutting off Ye Ling's connection with the Great Dao laws from the outside, it would be equivalent to forcibly interrupting Ye Ling's domain development process!
The consequences of interrupting domain development... Zhen Hun himself didn't know what would happen!
In the worst-case scenario, Ye Ling might become an idiot!
"Damn it! Kid, you need to hurry! Something big is about to happen!"
Zhen Hun glanced at the motionless Ye Ling, then at the constantly impacted edge of the space, finding himself in a dilemma.
