If the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation had only been operating normally, Qin Shi might not have had such a huge reaction. More importantly, the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation was actually rotating in the opposite direction?
In his sea of consciousness, the golden light that shot out from the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation pierced through the clouds. On the left and right of the clouds were constantly churning tornadoes.
Normally, the tornadoes would constantly expand towards the periphery of the sea of consciousness to increase the concentration of souls in the entire sea of consciousness. However, this time, whether it was because of the Netherworld Spirit Fruit or something else, the tornadoes actually converged towards the center. Soon, the fire dragon was firmly trapped. The dragon let out a sinister roar as it frantically struggled in an attempt to escape.
However, under the control of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation, the fire dragon was completely powerless. In the end, the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation forcefully dragged it into the area covered by the golden light and suppressed it.
Seeing this, Qin Shi's Yuan Spirit stood in the center of the ancient formation and frowned slightly. This was the first time he had seen a phenomenon like the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation.
Bang!
Suddenly, the fire dragon violently exploded under the suppression, turning into thousands of flames. Within the flames, Qin Shi was slightly taken aback. Shortly after, he furrowed his brows. An extremely powerful soul force followed the golden light and poured into the sea of consciousness in all directions.
The force was so great that even Qin Shi's body trembled. It was as if a divine force had suddenly descended on his body from the heavens.
His originally deep, pitch-black eyes instantly overflowed with golden light.
After the fire dragon shattered, the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation also stopped rotating in the opposite direction and returned to its usual clockwise rotation.
Qin Shi watched this astonishing change with his own eyes and smacked his lips. No matter how stupid he was, he should have figured it out by now. He thought to himself, "Just now, the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation actually helped me absorb the Netherworld Spirit Fruit?"
His throat was dry. The soul force that shot out from the fire dragon was clearly even more powerful than the Netherworld Spirit Fruit. It was like the difference between a medicinal herb and a spiritual pill. The flames that filled the sky now seemed like a spiritual pill that had been refined and extracted.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, Qin Shi's sea of consciousness violently trembled as the surrounding clouds and mist changed.
"Half-step Curse Domain?"
Qin Shi was startled fiercely. This accident came too suddenly.
However, it did not stop there. Flames were overflowing in all directions. Very quickly, they ignited the borders of his sea of consciousness, making it seem as if his sea of consciousness was in a prison of fire. Furthermore, the flames continued to spread outwards.
His Sea of Consciousness was also turning upside down. Above him, a strange pattern was condensing. When the pattern was completely formed, Qin Shi's black eyes were slightly shocked. The center of the pattern suddenly fell down like a falling meteorite.
The patterns were extremely fast, and a pressure like that of a wild beast instantly made Qin Shi feel suffocated. He subconsciously bent his back and sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Hiss …!"
Soon after, he tried his best to stand up. When he clearly saw the runes, shock and horror flickered within his black eyes. The runes were surrounded by the imprints of the three souls and seven spirits. At the centre of the imprints, there was actually an extremely illusory space. This space gave off a feeling that it was an independent existence. Even Qin Shi himself was unable to see through it.
"That, that's a domain?"
Qin Shi had only experienced this kind of feeling when he fought against a Domain Realm expert. However, it seemed to be very different from an ordinary domain.
"Little guy, this is the Curse Domain Tribulation!
I didn't expect you to use a Netherworld Spirit Fruit to break through to the most important tribulation of a Symbol Demon Master. "
"Curse Domain Tribulation?"
Qin Shi was stunned. He knew that the Curse Domain Tribulation was the same as the Soul Tribulation. It was the Heavenly Tribulation of a Symbol Demon Master when breaking through to the Curse Domain Realm. However, even he did not expect that the Netherworld Spirit Fruit, which he originally wanted to use to heal his injuries, would turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
The Curse Domain Realm was a realm that many Symbol Demon Masters pursued throughout their lives.
How could he have broken through so coincidentally?
His eyes could not help but burn with passion.
"Little guy, don't be too happy too early. Whether you can break through or not depends on whether you can survive this tribulation. If you can't, not only will you not be able to break through, but your Soul Force at the ninth level of the Curse Domain Tribulation will also be scattered by the Curse Domain Tribulation and you will return to the first level of the Curse Domain Tribulation!" The evil demon said.
Hearing this, Qin Shi could not help but become serious. If this was the case, there was no reason for him to fail at this critical juncture.
He raised his head and clenched his fists.
"Then come!"
Rumble!
With a violent tremor, the Curse Domain Tribulation suddenly fell on Qin Shi's Primordial Spirit.
…
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Including the previous three days, it was one more day than Qin Shi had originally planned. However, to Qin Shi, this day was undoubtedly worth it.
At night, when the cave gradually became dark, Qin Shi suddenly opened his eyes. A ray of golden light instantly shot out from his eyes, and an invisible Soul Force swept around his body. Even the ancient trees outside the cave toppled, as if they were bowing to him.
A powerful Soul Force formed a phantom behind Qin Shi, as if his Primordial Spirit was possessing his body. There was an extremely mysterious space within it.
Bang!
He clenched his fists, and an unprecedented Soul Force surged through his body, causing a smile to appear on the corners of his mouth.
"Is this the Curse Domain Realm?"
The leap in quality was so great that even he could not control it. The range of his Sea of Consciousness increased to a million meters. In an instant, half of the Beast World was seen by him, and he could easily distinguish the molecules in the air.
He thought that with his current cultivation, he was confident that he could fight against the Perfect Domain Realm that he had never been able to reach.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps could be heard. He quickly withdrew the Primordial Spirit behind him into his Sea of Consciousness.
Just as he got up, three people, led by Donkey Ruhua, rushed into the depths of the cave at the same time. The three of them could not help but feel relieved when they saw that Qin Shi had woken up.
Among them, Donkey Ruhua was the most obvious. He patted her small chest and exhaled. "The heavens have eyes, the heavens have eyes. They let you live. Otherwise, I would really have cried!"
"…!"
Qin Shi was speechless. His originally happy mood suddenly disappeared, and he was furious with Donkey Ruhua. "Can't you say something nice about me?"
"I'm not even saying something nice. We all hope that you don't die!"
"You're afraid that if I die, no one will help you get the Purple Jade Beast Trapping Pearl, right?" Qin Shi immediately pointed out Donkey Ruhua's thoughts.
Donkey Ruhua's jade-like face turned red. She pouted and wanted to argue again.
However, he did not give her a chance. Qin Shi turned around and looked at Wang Peng. He could see that Wang Peng had not slept for the past eight days. Her face was pale, and her Spiritual Power was severely overdrawn. This warmed Qin Shi's heart. At least he knew that he did not save the wrong person. He nodded and patted Wang Peng. "Thank you this time!"
"Brother Qin, don't mention it. This is what I should do."
"Alright, you've been exhausted for the past eight days. Take a rest tonight. I'll guard the cave. This is for you." Qin Shi took out a grade-nine Spirit-Recovering Pill with five patterns and above and handed it to Wang Peng.
Wang Peng was delighted to see the Spirit-Recovering Pill. Spirit-Recovering Pills were not rare, but grade-nine and above, especially those with five patterns, were different. This kind of Spirit-Recovering Pill could not only restore Spiritual Power, but also nourish one's foundation and strengthen one's elixir field.
"Thank you, Brother Qin!"
Wang Peng did not stand on ceremony. After accepting it, he turned around and walked to the place where Qin Shi had been cultivating in seclusion.
After Wang Peng sat down cross-legged, Qin Shi turned around and looked at Huo Dao. When he saw Huo Dao, he could not help but be stunned. A strong Soul Force rushed towards him. He smiled. "Senior, it seems that your breakthrough this time was successful."
"It's all thanks to you, little friend."
Huo Dao could not stop smiling. Half-step Domain Realm. He had waited for this day for many years. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "By the way, how are your injuries?"
Qin Shi smiled and waved his hand. "It's not a big deal. We'll set off tomorrow!"
He did not tell Huo Dao that he had broken through to the Curse Domain Realm. He did not want to dampen Huo Dao's good mood.
Therefore, he only patted Huo Dao and walked out of the cave alone.
As he stood outside the cave, Qin Shi looked up at the starry sky. Tonight, he suddenly recalled many things that had happened over the years. There was bitterness and bitterness. He had walked step by step to where he was today. He had reached the fourth level of the Sky Top Realm, the Curse Domain Realm. He could not help but laugh.
"Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. I really did not expect that the hot-blooded young man who wanted to let the Qin family know that he was not a piece of trash and that he wanted to redress the wrongs of his parents would actually reach this day."
To be honest, even Qin Shi himself had never imagined that he would have such a day.
The responsibilities on his shoulders were getting heavier. He could not help but let out a long sigh. "Dad, Mom, Xue Xin, Sister Yu, Luo Sha, give me some more time … When everything is no longer like this, I will fulfill all the promises I made to you."
He slowly closed his eyes and rested.
This was because he knew that in the next seven days, there would be a fight that he could not hide from. He had a reason to win the second round of the Talisman Demon Competition.
…
In the blink of an eye, the night quietly passed. When the sun rose from the east, a flawless ray of sunlight shone on the lazy land. It was as if all living things had been awakened. However, this beautiful scene was vaguely filled with endless murderous intent.
As he closed his eyes, Qin Shi slowly woke up. Huo Dao and Wang Peng walked out of the cave side by side. After a night of rest, Wang Peng had clearly recovered a lot. His complexion was also much rosier.
Qin Shi nodded in satisfaction. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Old Wang, what do you plan to do next?"
"I …" Wang Peng hesitated for a while and smiled bitterly. "What else can I plan to do? After what happened in the Chaotic Territory, I have seen through many things. To be honest, I no longer have any hope for the Talisman Demon Competition. Now, I only hope to end it quickly and leave this place."
Qin Shi could see that Wang Peng was truly disappointed. He shook his head and said, "If that's the case, why don't you come with us?"
