107: Buried

In the sky, it was no longer a bloody firmament, nor was it pure platinum light.

Instead—

Countless bolts of lightning, condensed from platinum sword intent!

These bolts of lightning contained the 'Soul Thunder' imbued with Bai Xiao's soul will!

Each bolt of Soul Thunder moved and intertwined like a Wandering Dragon in the void, forming a gigantic Thunder Prison emanating a destructive aura!

Within this domain, all soul fluctuations would be forcibly converted by this magnificent sword intent into fuel to augment the Thunder Prison's power!

The air was filled with a pungent ionized scent and a terrifying pressure that made one's soul tremble.

At the center of the domain, Bai Xiao's aura was integrated with the entire Thunder Prison, as if he had transformed into the master of this thunder world!

"Domain..." Shi Potian's expression grew even uglier as he felt the changes in the surrounding space and the terrifying suppressive force targeting his soul.

He knew that his greatest fear had come true.

The opponent was actually a Hero-tier existence; at this moment, not only had he broken through to the Eleventh-tier, but he had also directly unleashed his domain!

Fighting within the opponent's domain would severely suppress him!

"Roar! Break for me!" Shi Potian roared madly, his Twelfth-tier blood energy erupting without reservation, attempting to forcefully break through the Thunder Prison's restraints.

However, the Stellar Soul Thunder Hell was incredibly resilient.

Countless bolts of Soul Thunder wrapped around him like maggots on a corpse, constantly eroding his blood energy.

At the same time, waves of soul-targeting impacts caused him bouts of sharp pain and dizziness.

"In my domain, you have nowhere to run," Bai Xiao's voice echoed through the Thunder Prison like a divine oracle from the Nine Heavens.

His longsword pointed at Shi Potian, and at its tip, an extremely condensed platinum lightning sword beam was rapidly gathering.

The Eleventh-tier Bai Xiao, the Bai Xiao amplified by his domain, now displayed a combat power that subtly surpassed the temporarily Twelfth-tier Shi Potian!

"Ah ah ah—!" Shi Potian let out roars.

His immense, temporarily Twelfth-tier power felt constrained and stifled within the Thunder Prison domain, unable to be fully unleashed.

Each swing of his blood energy greatsword could destroy swathes of Soul Thunder, but immediately, more Soul Thunder surged from all directions, endless, as if the entire world was against him.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that the Soul Thunder was not just a physical attack; it also carried a direct soul-shaking impact.

Each time he was struck by Soul Thunder, he could feel his soul being pierced by countless fine needles, causing excruciating pain, and his consciousness began to blur.

"Is this... an Eleventh-tier domain?" A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in Shi Potian's heart.

Although he had gained temporary Twelfth-tier power by collapsing the heart of god, this power was like rootless duckweed, violent and difficult to control precisely.

Bai Xiao's Eleventh-tier, however, was a genuine realm, and combined with this strange and powerful domain, he was able to firmly suppress Shi Potian.

"Your power does not originate from yourself; it is ultimately a mirage," Bai Xiao's voice resounded in the Thunder Prison.

His figure moved through countless bolts of Soul Thunder like a king of lightning; with each flash, the platinum longsword in his hand left a deep, bone-visible wound on Shi Potian's body.

From those wounds, not only did blood flow, but wisps of blood-colored energy also escaped—that was the essence of the heart of god that formed Shi Potian's Twelfth-tier power, being lost.

"I haven't lost yet!" Shi Potian roared, flames burning in his eyes.

He suddenly plunged his blood energy greatsword into the void, forming a strange hand seal with both hands.

"Myriad Souls Devour God!"

As he roared, an even more evil and defiled aura emanated from his body.

The remaining fragments of the heart of god, which had already integrated into his body, seemed to be completely ignited at this moment, transforming into the purest curse power.

In an instant, within the Thunder Prison, countless twisted, pained human faces appeared out of thin air, emitting mournful wails.

These were all souls previously devoured by the heart of god, now activated by Shi Potian's secret technique, transforming into a torrent of the most malicious resentment, sweeping towards Bai Xiao!

These resentments were not substantial attacks but could directly erode one's mind, stirring up the deepest fears and despair within one's heart.

Bai Xiao snorted coldly, his eyes showing no fluctuation.

The Stellar Soul Thunder Hell suddenly burst into brilliant light! Countless bolts of Soul Thunder converged, forming a gigantic thunder barrier in front of him.

The twisted human faces crashed against the thunder barrier, emitting waves of mournful screams, and then were purified and annihilated by the pure sword intent contained within the Soul Thunder.

"Your resentment cannot shake my sword heart," Bai Xiao's voice was like a judgment.

"How can this be... my 'Myriad Souls Devour'... it's ineffective against him?!" Shi Potian was in disbelief.

This move, 'Myriad Souls Devour,' was one of his trump cards, specifically targeting the enemy's soul and will; even a strong opponent of the same tier would lose control of their mind if they were not careful, falling into an abyss of no return.

But he did not understand that Bai Xiao's sword heart had long been tempered as firm as a rock through countless life-and-death trials; moreover, the Stellar Soul Thunder Hell itself had the effect of purifying all negative mental influences.

"It's over," Bai Xiao's voice fell, and the thunder sword beam gathered on the platinum longsword in his hand had reached its peak, emanating a terrifying power capable of tearing apart the sky.

"Soul Burial Calamity · Thunder Flame!"

He perfectly fused the area-of-effect killing move 'Soul Burial Calamity' that he had comprehended with the Soul Thunder power he had mastered after advancing to the Eleventh-tier, creating a new, even more terrifying move!

One sword strike!

A gigantic torrent of sword qi, seemingly woven from countless platinum Soul Thunder and scorching white flames, roared as it swept towards Shi Potian!

Wherever this torrent of sword qi passed, cracks appeared in space, and the other Soul Thunder in the Thunder Prison seemed to be drawn in, converging into it, causing its power to climb steadily!

Shi Potian felt an unprecedented sense of mortal danger.

He wanted to dodge, but under the suppression of the Stellar Soul Thunder Hell, his movements became incredibly sluggish.

He wanted to resist, but his internal blood energy had been largely consumed, and his temporarily elevated Twelfth-tier power was rapidly fading.

"No—! I cannot die! My revenge has not been exacted!" Shi Potian let out a desperate roar, pouring all his remaining blood energy into the blood energy greatsword, and unleashed his final sword strike against the world-destroying torrent of sword qi.

"Boom—!!!"

Deafening explosions resounded throughout Panshi City!

Platinum thunder flames and blood-red energy collided and annihilated wildly, and a terrifying energy storm swept in all directions.

The Infinite City army and the remnants of the Panshi City army below, despite having retreated far away, were still thrown into disarray by the aftermath of this battle.

When the light dissipated.

Bai Xiao floated quietly in mid-air, his face somewhat pale.

The light wings behind him flapped slightly, and although the platinum flames on his body had dimmed somewhat, they still exuded the terrifying pressure of an Eleventh-tier powerhouse.

Across from him, Shi Potian's body, forcibly stimulated by the 'heart of god,' was now covered in cracks.

"My... home... I... am back..."

He looked at the purple sky and murmured dreamily.

At the corner of his eye, turbid tears seemed to fall, but they were instantly evaporated by the escaping blood energy.

"Bang!"

Shi Potian's body, like weathered rock, shattered inch by inch, turning into a sky full of blood-colored light points, dissipating within the Stellar Soul Thunder Hell.

A generation's hero, Shi Potian, the Lord of Panshi City, thus fell.
