Invisible ripples spread out, expanding across the entire East Sea City.
The Spiritual Power of the Spirit Abyss Realm is as deep as an abyss and as heavy as a prison; where the mind goes, all things submit.
It is also the classic hallmark of a Titled Douluo.
Even the wind in East Sea City seemed to be solidified by this Spiritual Power.
Some Spirit System Soul Masters in the city stopped their Cultivation one after another, only feeling a sudden surge of clarity and inexplicable awe in their minds.
Agravaine inside the Spirit Conduction Tower was also incredibly shocked: "Spirit Abyss Realm? This Spiritual Power... it's Little Arthur's!"
He was overjoyed: "Good boy, I was wondering what he was up to lately, so that's it!"
Spirit Abyss Realm, that's the Spirit Abyss Realm!
"This... this is?" Gu Yue looked up slightly, gazing toward where Arthur lived.
"He had a Breakthrough to the Spirit Abyss Realm, even faster than I guessed."
Unlike others, Gu Yue could feel that this Spiritual Power ripple was very special, carrying a majestic Aura that looked down upon all living beings, even making the elemental power within her body become docile.
Wu Zhangkong stood at the highest point of East Sea Academy, his long hair moving without wind, a ripple flashing through his cold eyes.
He could clearly judge the Rank of this Spiritual Power and even more so sense that it came from Arthur, sighing in his heart: "This kid... he really brings surprises every time."
Having completed the Breakthrough, Arthur quickly restrained his Spiritual Power; the golden ocean within his Sea of Consciousness gradually calmed down, and the silver-purple starlight sank to the bottom of the sea.
The ripples spreading through the city dissipated instantly; this was an unconscious overflow of Spiritual Power during the Breakthrough to the Spirit Abyss Realm.
But the influence brought by that deterrent force did not disappear; the entire Soul Master circle of East Sea City...
...had already been thrown into an uproar by this sudden mental fluctuation that reached the Titled Douluo level.
"Phew—"
Exhaling a long breath, Arthur raised his left arm and gently clenched his fist, feeling an irresistible force surging forth.
The two Spirit Abilities brought by the hundred thousand year spirit bone were engraved into his mind like brands.
The first is [Star Abyss Shattering Realm], an offensive mental Spirit Ability.
Spiritual Power of the Spirit Abyss Realm is naturally capable of affecting reality and being used for attacks.
Star Abyss Shattering Realm enhanced this effect.
Even under the blessing of the Douluo world's power, its influence on reality was greatly amplified.
It allowed Arthur to use Spiritual Power to pry at real space.
The true essence of [Star Abyss Shattering Realm] within Arthur's Sea of Consciousness became increasingly clear.
It wasn't a simple mental shock; supplemented by the power of heaven and earth, it turned mental energy into a sharp edge that tore through reality.
He raised his hand and lightly tapped his fingertip against the Void Realm, instantly producing a "chi-la" sound of spatial cracking, easily tearing through space.
The second Spirit Ability is [Return to the Void], a mental-type Domain skill.
There is much room for development; the power of the [Return to the Void] Domain's core isn't simple mental suppression, but rather uses one's own Spirit Abyss Realm Sea of Consciousness as the 'Void' and the power of heaven and earth as the 'Lead' to forcibly pull the mental thoughts of all living beings within range.
Simply put, the Douluo Plane helps Arthur hypnotize the creatures within the Domain.
With a slight thought from Arthur, the mental Domain enveloped several nearby dormitory buildings within a few breaths.
Within the Domain, he could clearly'see' everyone's Spiritual Power; for those with Spiritual Power that was too weak, he could even forcibly control them and take over.
Gu Yue, who had come to find Arthur, stood before the door; she could clearly feel the power of the Domain and was secretly alarmed: "This Domain... something's not right."
As if thinking of something, Gu Yue suddenly looked up at the sky.
After a moment of silence, she shook her head and familiarly stepped forward to unlock the door and walk in.
Watching Gu Yue close the door behind her, Arthur's Domain dissipated completely the moment the door shut.
"Now that you've reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, you finally meet the minimum requirements to absorb that soul spirit."
Arthur asked impatiently, "Can you tell me what soul spirit it is?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Gu Yue's finger slid across the soul guidance communication device on her wrist, and an encrypted map popped up on the screen, showing only simple mountain outlines and red markers: "No time to lose, let's set off now."
"That soul spirit won't last much longer either."
"Your Family lives in seclusion here?" Gu Yue claimed to the outside world to be the descendant of this generation's Hidden Family. But Arthur could guess even without thinking—what Hidden Family? It was more like a Vicious Beast Family.
"That's right." Gu Yue nodded and turned to leave without any hesitation, seeming somewhat urgent. "Let's go."
"Wait." Arthur took out his soul guidance communication device: "Don't forget, we have to bring Na'er along. She's been pestering me for days, saying she wants to see what the 'Hidden Family' you mentioned looks like."
With Na'er following, Arthur felt a bit more at ease.
At least if Na'er was there, the only one who might crawl into his bed at night would be Na'er.
And not Di Tian.
The moment the soul guidance communication device connected, Na'er's crisp voice immediately rang out: "Brother Arthur! I'm already prepared, let's go!"
"Eh?" Arthur felt something was off; walking out the door, he indeed saw Na'er crouching at the corner of the wall: "When did you get here? I didn't even notice."
"Hee-hee." Na'er acted cute and played dumb.
Gu Yue watched this scene and shook her head helplessly: "Let's go, don't delay any longer."
She turned to lead the way out, while secretly sending instructions to the Vicious Beasts in the valley.
Put on a good disguise; their true forms must never be exposed.
Na'er chattered incessantly along the way, marveling at the primitive scenery one moment and leaning close to Arthur the next, curiously poking his left arm.
Arthur looked up at the sky from time to time, finally reminding Gu Yue: "My eldest uncle might have followed us. When the time comes, your Family members..."
One didn't even need to guess to know that Agravaine had definitely followed him the moment he left East Sea City.
"Don't worry. We can understand." Gu Yue reassured him that there would be no conflict... Eventually, they arrived at the entrance of a valley. A pale green energy barrier shimmered with a soft glow under the sunlight. Inside the valley, smoke curled from chimneys and wooden houses were neatly arranged, indeed looking like a secluded village far from the world's strife.
As soon as they arrived, Na'er was captivated, pulling Arthur's hand as she skipped inside: "Wow! It's so beautiful here! Gu Yue, your Family's houses are so special; are they all made of logs?"
What are you pretending for? Weren't these houses built with your help?
"Tsk." Gu Yue glanced at Na'er taking the opportunity to hold Arthur's hand. Why hadn't she noticed this girl was such an actress before?
Walking to the main house deep in the valley, a tall middle-aged man wearing a black robe came out to meet them.
"Young Lord, welcome back." Di Tian's voice was deliberately lowered, carrying a hint of hoarseness, perfectly imitating the tone of an elderly human. "This must be young friend Arthur, and your friend Young Miss Na'er, right?"
"I am the Grand Elder of the clan. Welcome to both of you."
Di Tian bowed slightly, the hem of his black robe sweeping across the ground. A complex look flashed deep in his eyes as he looked at Arthur; he knew what the Lord had brought Arthur here for.
