138: Chapter 138 The Domain of Order

Seeing the giant sword about to descend, the Evil Spirit Orca King broke free from Xiao Bai's grapple, its massive body twisting violently as it darted to the side to dodge.

However, Ji Xuan's sword had long since locked onto its Qi, and the speed was extreme.

Puchi—the moment the Evil Spirit Orca King broke free from the struggle, the blade had already severed its left fin at the root.

In an instant, blood gushed out, staining the surrounding seawater a dark red.

A shrill howl echoed across the sea, and the Evil Spirit Orca King's body thrashed wildly in the water, stirring up massive waves.

Piercing pain tore through its heart; the Evil Spirit Orca King's eyes were bloodshot, and it suddenly released an Orca Domain filled with a violent aura.

The power of the Domain swept outward, and Shui Binger and the others, along with the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks, were instantly rendered breathless by this terrifying pressure.

At this moment, golden runes swirled around Ji Xuan's body.

The Order Domain unfolded; there was no violent surge of Soul Power, only a circle of pale golden ripples slowly expanding from him as the center.

During the tidal body tempering, while tied to that pillar and unable to Cultivate, Ji Xuan had tempered his body while immersing his mind in the comprehension of the Power of Order. As his comprehension deepened, he had an Awakening of the Domain.

Within the Order Domain, he was the Dominator of all things.

Although the current range of the Domain was not large, it was perfectly sufficient for this moment.

"Break!" Ji Xuan shouted coldly, and the rampant, violent aura of the Evil Spirit Orca King instantly dissipated.

"Freeze!" As the word fell, the Evil Spirit Orca King's body suddenly stiffened, unable to move.

However, the Evil Spirit Orca King was powerful, and coupled with Ji Xuan's superficial control over the power of time, this imprisonment lasted only a breath.

But when experts battle, a single breath can decide the outcome.

The instant the Orca King broke free, a golden sword pierced through space, thrusting precisely from its eye into its skull.

The Evil Spirit Orca King's struggle lasted only a few breaths before its massive body slowly came to a halt, the fierce light in its eyes faded, and it completely lost its breath.

Following its demise, a blood-colored spirit ring rose up, hovering quietly above the sea.

Seeing their King slain, the remaining Evil Spirit Orcas instantly lost all will to fight; panic-stricken, they turned and tried to flee toward the deep sea.

But how could the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks miss such an opportunity? They pursued them one after another.

Ji Xuan scanned the battlefield and discovered that the progress of Shui Binger and the others' trial was still lacking.

His figure flashed, appearing instantly near several fleeing Evil Spirit Orcas; with a wave of his hand, he severely injured them, leaving them for the others to complete their trial.

Shui Binger and the others immediately stepped forward, cleanly slaughtering these severely injured Evil Spirit Orcas.

The Sea God's Fourth Trial, concluded.

In this battle, the casualties of the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks were not heavy.

After counting, only a dozen or so had perished.

Just then, a notification sound rang in Ji Xuan's mind: "Sea God's Fourth Trial passed. Reward: 10% Sea God Affinity. Current total affinity: 40%."

At the same time, Shui Binger and the others also received their trial rewards.

Shui Yueer broke directly through the level 70 Bottleneck, and Feng Xiaotian stepped into the threshold of level 80 in one go.

A large number of spirit rings of various ages were scattered on the sea surface. The two chose spirit rings suitable for themselves and sat cross-legged on the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks to begin absorption.

Ji Xuan collected the few dropped Spirit Bones, intending to distribute them later.

Afterward, he hovered above the Void Realm, guiding that 100,000-year spirit ring to begin absorption.

Time passed quietly, and the fluctuations of Soul Power on the sea surface rose and fell.

The first to finish absorption was Shui Yueer; her Soul Power stabilized at level 72, and her aura was several times stronger than before.

Not long after, Feng Xiaotian also completed his absorption, his Soul Power breaking through to level 82.

After a long while, Ji Xuan finally successfully completed the Fusion of his eighth spirit ring, and his Soul Power had just broken through to level 84.

A 100,000-year spirit ring could normally bestow two Spirit Abilities upon a Spirit Master, but during the absorption process, Ji Xuan used the Power of Order to forcibly merge the two Spirit Abilities into one.

This fused Spirit Ability was far more powerful than a single 100,000-year Spirit Ability.

Spirit Ability: Evil Spirit Orca Slash. It initiates a forced stun on the target for five seconds, and the attack ignores physical defense.

As long as the opponent's strength does not exceed Ji Xuan's, this move is an unsolvable killing blow.

After the Fourth Trial ended, the group returned to Seahorse City to rest and did not rush to start the Fifth Trial.

The rules of the Sea God's Fifth Trial were to challenge the seven Sacred Pillar Guardians in sequence. Timing would start from the battle with the first guardian, and one must defeat all of them within three days to pass.

The trials for the others were all to defeat a Titled Douluo.

This trial was extremely difficult for everyone. Among them, only Feng Xiaotian barely had a chance to challenge the weakest guardian, but unfortunately, the opponents were already fixed.

However, Ji Xuan still had a large batch of Spirit Bones in his spirit tool.

That evening, Ji Xuan gathered everyone in his room.

"Wow! Brother-in-law, you actually have so many Spirit Bones!" Shui Yueer looked at the dozen or so Spirit Bones Ji Xuan took out, her eyes full of envy.

Spirit Bones were treasures that everyone dreamed of; everyone present could not help but show looks of envy.

"So many Spirit Bones, I've never seen this many in my entire life," Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but exclaim.

Ji Xuan took out a blue Spirit Bone: "Binger, this 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone is for you."

"Thank you, A-Xuan," Shui Binger said, taking the Spirit Bone.

"Xiaotian, these two are yours." Ji Xuan took out another skull bone and a torso bone, both belonging to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao's Spirit Bones—he had originally wanted to give them to his Junior Martial Uncles, but they didn't want them, so they had remained in his spirit tool.

"Many thanks, Your Highness!" Feng Xiaotian received them with both hands.

"Yueer, these two are yours." Ji Xuan took out two Evil Spirit Orca Spirit Bones: a 60,000-year Right Leg Bone and a 70,000-year skull bone.

"Hee hee, thank you, Brother-in-law!" Shui Yueer accepted them with a giggle.

"Wushuang, take these two left and right arm bones." Ji Xuan handed Tang Hao's two arm bones to Huo Wushuang.

"Many thanks, Your Highness!"

Afterward, Ji Xuan distributed the remaining two of Tang Hao's Spirit Bones to Huo Wu.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue each received two Evil Spirit Orca Spirit Bones around 40,000 to 50,000 years old.

"Hurry and absorb the Spirit Bones. After consolidating your strength, we will go to challenge the Fifth Trial," Ji Xuan said.

Everyone agreed in unison and returned to their respective rooms.

After everyone left, Ji Xuan also took out the Evil Spirit Orca King Right Leg Bone he had obtained today.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and pressed the Spirit Bone against his right lower leg.

Time passed quietly, and after everyone completed the absorption of the Spirit Bones, their strength underwent a massive surge.

Ji Xuan's Soul Power broke through to level 87. He merged his Spirit Bone abilities into one: Orca Evil Spirit Axe. By condensing Soul Power in his right leg and amplifying it through the Spirit Bone, it transformed into a battle axe blade, creating a linear single-target attack.

Feng Xiaotian broke through to level 84, and after absorbing the skull bone, his Mental Energy had reached that of a Titled Douluo.

Shui Binger and the Huo siblings successfully broke through the level 80 Bottleneck.

Shui Yueer and the Xie siblings also improved to level 76.

Afterward, Ji Xuan personally led the team to the deep sea to hunt Spirit Beasts.

In the end, Shui Binger obtained a 90,000-year spirit ring, and her Soul Power settled at level 83.

The Huo siblings each absorbed a spirit ring of over 80,000 years, approaching 90,000 years, and both of their Soul Powers broke through to level 82.
