"Not bad, possessing both the Ice Domain and the Shura Domain at such a young age. But do you know about the Blood Ice Domain?"
As the auras of Shui Wuya's two domains reached their peak, a sage and gentle voice suddenly whispered in his ear.
"The Blood Ice Domain?"
Shui Wuya was taken aback. He recognized the voice as belonging to Shui Yuanchen. He recalled the records of the Blood Ice Domain in the history of the Shui family, but few had mastered it over the millennia.
"The Blood Ice Domain is formed by forcibly merging the Shura Domain and the Ice Domain with powerful spiritual force, creating a completely new domain."
Shui Yuanchen's voice echoed again, and a terrifying aura of the domain immediately descended from the ninth layer of Slaughter Hell to the first.
"Boom!"
The overwhelming aura of the Blood Ice Domain enveloped Shui Wuya from all sides. His heart surged with tumultuous emotions—Shui Yuanchen possessed the Blood Ice Domain! But he quickly rationalized; as the ruler of Slaughter Hell, it made sense for Shui Yuanchen to possess such a rare domain.
"Alright, I'll give it a try."
Feeling the Blood Ice Domain released by Shui Yuanchen, Shui Wuya focused his mind and began to merge the two domains.
"Hum!—"
Driven by his spiritual force, the two domains showed signs of fusion, emitting a continuous buzzing sound.
For the next few days, Shui Wuya's mind was fully immersed in the process.
Too slow!
One day, Shui Wuya suddenly opened his eyes. He wasn't satisfied with the fusion speed; after several days, only about one-fifth of the domains had merged.
So, he summoned his four Great Spirit Souls.
"Dream, Ice Emperor, Octagon, Bai Shan, assist me in merging the two domains!"
At his command, the four Spirit Souls emerged from Shui Wuya's spiritual world, manifesting as four spiritual bodies. They all contributed their spiritual power to drive the fusion process.
"Hum!—"
The buzzing in the air intensified, and the two domains began to merge visibly faster.
Finally, after twelve hours, the two domains merged completely!
The resulting domain shimmered with a mixture of red and blue light, giving off an eerie and chilling aura. It was filled with an extreme coldness and a murderous atmosphere.
"The Blood Ice Domain."
Shui Wuya rejoiced inwardly. Now, the colors in his eyes alternated between red and blue, and he was astonished to find that the negative effects of the Shura Domain on his mind had been completely eliminated!
The training and battles of this period, combined with the awakening of the Blood Ice Domain, had doubled his combat abilities.
As he turned his gaze back to the remaining Heaven-level cells in the first layer, a strong sense of determination surged within him.
"Blood Servants, open all the Heaven-level cells!"
...
In the ninth layer of Slaughter Hell, Shui Yuanchen felt a surge of surprise and delight at Shui Wuya's latest accomplishment. The ability to successfully merge the Ice Domain and the Shura Domain to create the Blood Ice Domain was an extraordinarily rare feat. Even among the Shui family's thousands of years of history, those who had achieved it could be counted on one hand.
Every person who had attained the Blood Ice Domain was a legendary figure in the Shui family's history. Shui Yuanchen himself had endured countless trials and hardships to achieve this feat in his youth. Yet here was Shui Wuya, achieving this in just a few days—a feat that left Shui Yuanchen astonished.
"Those Spirit Souls look familiar," he thought. As he examined Shui Wuya's four Spirit Souls, he remembered the Shui family's generational bans—one of which forbade hunting certain soul beasts.
"Four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Emperor, two-hundred-thousand-year Octagonal Ice Grass, hundred-thousand-year Dream Ice Silkworm, hundred-thousand-year Ice Turtle!"
Shui Yuanchen recognized the origin of Shui Wuya's Spirit Souls; they were the very soul beasts protected by the family's ancient ban. A chill ran down his spine as he realized the significance of Shui Wuya's journey.
"The Shui family's millennia-old ban was waiting for him!" Shui Yuanchen mused, feeling his scalp tingle. His gaze shifted towards the far reaches of the continent, where memories of the Shui family's peak days resurfaced—days when the Ice Phoenix would occasionally visit the family, the only one of its kind in the world.
"No wonder the family's elders once said that the Ice Phoenix followed a pact with the Ice God, awaiting the appearance of the Ice God's heir!"
As he thought this, Shui Yuanchen's heart filled with clarity. But his focus quickly returned to the first layer of Slaughter Hell, where his pupils widened with shock.
In just a quarter of an hour, the dozens of Soul Douluo-level Dark Soul Masters that had just been released from the Heaven-level cells were now lying dead in pools of blood, leaving Shui Wuyah as the only living person standing!
With the Blood Ice Domain's boost, Shui Wuya's combat power had soared!
Soon, Shui Wuya decided to take a break from the slaughter, returning to the ninth layer of Slaughter Hell.
"You've done exceptionally well, better than anyone in the Shui family's ten-thousand-year history," Shui Yuanchen praised, his gaze filled with admiration as Shui Wuyah entered.
To single-handedly clear an entire layer of Dark Soul Masters was an unprecedented feat in the history of Slaughter Hell, even with the Shura Domain's power.
"Thank you, Uncle Shui," Shui Wuyah replied with a slight nod.
But just then, Shui Yuanchen made a sweeping motion with his hand, sending a burst of blood-red light straight towards the first layer of Slaughter Hell. The light engulfed all the corpses and blood in the layer, sweeping them away in a flash.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The resounding echoes left Shui Wuya stunned, his pupils dilated in shock.
"It's the method for refining the Sacred Spirit Water," Shui Yuanchen explained, noticing Shui Wuya's surprise. "It's been improved by generations of Slaughter Hell rulers, using the blood and flesh of Dark Soul Masters as raw materials. If you're interested, I can teach you."
Though Shui Wuya nodded, his mind was focused on the profound implications of what he had just learned.
---
Shui Wuya was taken aback at the idea of using Dark Soul Masters' blood and flesh to refine the Sacred Spirit Water. The method was undeniably brutal, something only the ruler of Slaughter Hell could wield.
"This approach doesn't align with my path," he said after a brief pause, turning down Shui Yuanchen's offer. Refining with soul masters' blood and flesh would create a dense accumulation of blood energy, requiring substantial effort to purify. Using herbal ingredients seemed more straightforward.
"Fair enough," Shui Yuanchen replied with a chuckle, then turned to Shui Yanjun.
"Go buy some food for those inmates. They're skin and bones, and they're no good as training dummies if they're too weak."
Shui Yuanchen's casual tone reflected the cold reality of Slaughter Hell. In the past, he wouldn't have cared whether the prisoners lived or died, but Shui Wuya's presence changed things. The prisoners were now needed as sparring partners, and if they were too frail, they wouldn't serve their purpose.
"I'll get on it," Shui Yanjun replied, understanding the importance of the request. To ensure Shui Wuya's training progressed efficiently, Shui Yanjun left the ninth layer to buy provisions from the outside world.
After Shui Yanjun's departure, Shui Yuanchen created a barrier in the ninth layer, designating it as Shui Wuya's private space. Even in Slaughter Hell, privacy was essential, especially for someone of Shui Wuya's status.
"Thank you, Uncle," Shui Wuya said with a nod of gratitude before vanishing into the barrier. He had a lot to do after the recent battles.
