185: Netherworld Sword Realm, Yin and Yang Reincarnation Ruins

Subsequently, Li Xiangyun suddenly split his Divine Soul into two.

With his Yang Divine Soul, he wrapped himself in the Qi of Life and leaped into the scorching white sea of fire. In an instant, countless scenes of birth, aging, sickness, and death appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. He used Sword Intent to shatter illusions, only extracting the Dao rhyme that would turn into "death" when "life" reached its extreme.

With his Yin Divine Soul, he carried the Netherworld Darkfire and sank into the inky black ice abyss. His Origin of Soul was frozen to the point of almost shattering, yet at the brink of death, he glimpsed the profound mystery of "life" hidden at the end of "death."

When the two halves of his Divine Soul recombined in the center of the Yin-Yang Fish Platform's phantom, the embryonic form of his Domain suddenly became clear.

The previously suspended Yin-Yang Fish Platform began to rotate on its own. The Netherworld Darkfire in the black fish's eye was no longer chaotic, but transformed into nine fire patterns circulating around the fish's body.

The Qi of Life in the white fish's eye condensed into three willow-leaf-shaped sword buds, with silver life patterns crawling on each bud.

The three Sword Silks could now change at will:

The Yang Silk could transform into a fire net that incinerated all vitality, the Yin Silk could weave into an ice cage that froze the Divine Soul, and the Life-Death Silk could even temporarily connect a Cultivator's past and present lives, making their obsessions manifest with clearer Karma trajectories.

At the same time, outside the jade cocoon.

The Void Realm suddenly rippled, and a black-and-white interwoven Sword Net phantom spread out without warning, with Deep Blue fire patterns flowing through its meshes.

As soon as this unconsciously spreading Domain power manifested, it immediately caused the surrounding Blood-Eyed Vine Emperor and Spirit Marrow Jade Root Tree to tremble simultaneously.

The Blood-Eyed Vine Emperor's blood-colored, pupil-covered vines suddenly straightened, and myriad eyeballs all turned towards the light cocoon, reflecting the Deep Blue fire patterns in their pupils. The previously restless bloodthirsty aura instantly converged.

At the tip of the thickest main vine, the largest vertical pupil suddenly constricted, and wisps of blood seeped from its iris, winding along the vine's patterns. However, upon touching the Sword Net phantom, they sizzled as if scorched.

It seemed to sense a threat originating from the depths of its Divine Soul. The barbs at the end of its vines closed, and it even actively retracted half an inch, as if fearing the life-death power flowing within the Sword Net.

In contrast, the Spirit Marrow Jade Root Tree's reaction was entirely different.

Its crystal-clear, jade-like branches and leaves gently swayed, and the spiritual patterns on its leaves resonated wonderfully with the Sword Net's fire patterns, causing specks of jade-colored light dust to fall rustlingly.

Its deeply buried root system suddenly arched upwards, revealing parts of its roots entwined with faint golden Spiritual Qi. The ends of the roots transformed into jade threads as fine as hair, tentatively touching the edge of the Sword Net.

Whenever the jade threads met the fire patterns, a soft white glow would blossom. The Spirit Marrow Jade Root Tree was actually actively absorbing the Qi of Life dissipating from the Domain.

The annual rings on its trunk visibly increased by one circle, and the Spiritual Marrow liquid flowing between its branches and leaves became even more mellow.

Even more bizarre was the interaction between the two. On the Blood-Eyed Vine Emperor's retracted vines, the scorched blood threads dripped to the ground, transforming into tiny blood-colored flames.

And the jade dust falling from the Spirit Marrow Jade Root Tree touched the flames, instantly enveloping them into faint golden fireballs.

These two Spiritual Plants, originally mutually reinforcing and restraining, were now, under the influence of the Sword Net phantom, releasing their Origin power, merging along the invisible Veins of the Domain, transforming into a wisp of Yin and Yang-balanced Qi flow, slowly converging into the light cocoon.

Just then, within the nether soul guiding lamp.

Cang Lanzi's figure reappeared.

He looked up at this scene, with a hint of joy, a hint of relief, and a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"Nourishing the Domain with Earthly Spiritual Roots... This unconscious action adds even more profundity than if it were deliberate."

The black-and-white Sword Net was slowly solidifying with the fluctuations inside the light cocoon, and the fire patterns in its meshes became increasingly fierce, even scorching fine cracks in the Void Realm.

"But you two aren't losing out either!"

Saying this, Cang Lanzi looked at the Blood-Eyed Vine Emperor and the Spirit Marrow Jade Root Tree beside him.

He saw the phantom of the Netherworld Darkfire flickering in the blood-colored pupils of the Blood-Eyed Vine Emperor, and the patterns of the Qi of Life spreading among the jade leaves of the Spirit Marrow Jade Root Tree.

It was evident that they also benefited greatly.

At the same time, inside the jade cocoon.

Li Xiangyun was still immersed in his Domain.

And at this moment, the Domain had completely taken shape.

Between heaven and earth, black and white interwoven Sword Nets were everywhere, with Deep Blue fire patterns flowing through their meshes.

The core of the Domain was a suspended Yin-Yang Fish Platform. The black fish's eye was embedded with flickering Netherworld Darkfire, while the white fish's eye condensed a wisp of almost transparent Qi of Life. As they rotated, the boundary between life and death began to blur.

Thus, Yin and Yang, life and death, Sword Intent—these powers he controlled—achieved a truly perfect Fusion.

And he named this Domain – Nether Sword Domain · Yin-Yang Reincarnation Ruins!!!

The moment a Cultivator stepped into the Domain, they would be entangled by three invisible Sword Silks.

The Yang-attributed Sword Silk would cause the Spiritual Qi within the body to run wild, transforming into karmic fire that incinerated the body.

The Yin-attributed Sword Silk would freeze the Origin of Soul, causing past life Shadow of Resentment to appear.

And the Life-Death Sword Silk, connecting the yin-yang fish, would repeatedly cut between the Physical Body and the Divine Soul, forcing out the Cultivator's strongest obsession in this life, allowing the Netherworld Darkfire to surge in through the cracks of obsession.

At the same time, the Netherworld Darkfire was no longer merely a destroyer.

Instead, the fire clusters ignited by the Yang Sword Silk appeared scorching white, specifically burning the Cultivator's vitality and Lifespan, causing the scorched areas to rapidly age and wither.

The fire clusters guided by the Yin Sword Silk were inky black, specifically devouring the Cultivator's cultivation and Dao foundation. Touching them would cause Golden Core to disintegrate and Nascent Soul to scatter.

Even more bizarre were the grey fires wandering at the Yin and Yang boundary.

They could transform the Cultivator's attacks into their own nourishment. Physical attacks would be burned to ashes and merge into the fire net, while energy attacks would be dismantled into Yin and Yang Qi, feeding back into the Reincarnation Sword Silk.

When he swung his sword, the Yin-Yang Fish Platform would spew out life-death Sword Qi.

When the Sword of Life cut through the Void Realm, it would give rise to life vines entwined with Netherworld Darkfire. Wherever the vines passed, withered bones could grow flesh, but they would slowly be corroded into Puppets by the fire patterns.

When the Sword of Death struck down, space would crack open with Deep Blue fire seams. The hands of vengeful spirits extending from these seams could directly drag away the opponent's Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits, throwing them into the fire eye to become new flame nourishment.

It could be said that his Domain attacked Spiritual Qi, Physical Body, Divine Soul, Dao foundation, and Lifespan.

At the same time, it could also absorb others' attacks to strengthen himself and refine people into Puppets.

To be honest, with this Domain, he really didn't know how he could lose.

Undoubtedly, he was extremely satisfied with the Domain before him, and it was well worth the effort he had put into designing it.

As for why it was named Yin-Yang Reincarnation Ruins.

It was mainly because Yin-Yang Life-Death Ruins didn't sound as good or as imposing as Yin-Yang Reincarnation Ruins.

Instead, Yin and Yang Reincarnation were originally one, and as for the name, sounding good was the most important thing.

However, now that the Domain had been comprehended, the next step was to prepare for his Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangyun's heart was filled with fervor.

He just wondered how Lin Ye and the others were doing on the other side.

He also wondered if they had already found the Netherworld Darkfire, or if they had already begun to subdue it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

After all, refining the Netherworld Devil Monarch had already taken several days, and now that he had comprehended the Domain, although he hadn't paid close attention, the time spent must have been considerable.

However, with his current cultivation alone, even having comprehended the Domain, it still didn't seem safe.

Therefore, the most pressing task was to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul first.

Just as Li Xiangyun was about to settle his mind and concentrate on refining the Spiritual Marrow liquid, striving to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul as soon as possible.
