Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Each blood bat exuded a violent and bloodthirsty aura. Their sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, and their scarlet eyes were fixed on Lin Wan with a madness that wanted to tear him to pieces in an instant.

The quantity is in the hundreds or thousands!

And judging from the way it's being discussed, even more are emerging from the depths of darkness.

They occupied the narrow path in front and the space above, attacking from all angles and blocking any possibility of dodging.

On this narrow path, less than half a foot wide, it's difficult to even turn sideways, let alone dodge or weave.

You either retreat, or be submerged, torn apart, or... fall into the abyss.

Lin Wan's eyes remained completely unmoved.

He didn't even look at the hideous faces and claws so close to his face.

Just as the first wave of blood bats was about to swarm within half a meter of him, and the nauseating stench was already hitting him, he was in that instant.

hum!

A burst of icy blue light suddenly spread out from Lin Wan!

That wasn't the light of a soul skill, but the manifestation of a deeper, more fundamental power—this was Lin Wan's domain!

Upon reaching level 60, the fusion of the Ice God's legacy and the Fairy Tale Godhood allowed Lin Wan to awaken the rudimentary form of his own unique domain before acquiring the Killing God Domain.

It is not purely composed of soul power, but rather a fusion of his understanding of the rules of ice and the spiritual qualities contained in his own martial soul, the Nine Heavens Fox.

The icy blue light wasn't dazzling, but it carried a chilling aura that could freeze the soul, instantly enveloping Lin Wan in an area with a diameter of two meters.

The light had a clear boundary, forming a stable spherical field that firmly protected Lin Wan within it.

The moment the domain unfolded, the suffocating heat around them suddenly dropped.

Centered on Lin Wan, within a two-meter radius, the temperature plummeted, instantly transforming from a scorching hell into a frigid winter plain.

Tiny, bluish ice crystals even condensed in the air and drifted down.

Those blood bats that rushed into the icy blue domain met with annihilation.

Their ferocious roars abruptly ceased, and their scarlet eyes were instantly covered with a layer of icy blue frost.

The rapidly vibrating wings seemed to have crashed into an invisible and viscous icy slurry, and the movements visibly became stiff and sluggish.

Then, an even more terrifying erosion descended.

Not only did their bodies feel the biting cold, but a cold, tranquil mental fluctuation with a strong hypnotic quality quietly invaded their simple and violent consciousness along with the light of the domain.

"Cold...So sleepy...Stop..."

Confused thoughts spread among the bats.

The blood bats charging at the forefront quickly lost the frenzied crimson in their eyes, replaced by a blank, dazed look.

They forgot to attack, forgot to cry out, and even forgot to flap their wings.

Chapter 357 Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, the blood bats that rushed into the icy blue domain froze and stiffened in droves, then plummeted straight down into the endless abyss below.

A few bats on the edge of the domain screamed in terror, struggling desperately to escape the range of the icy blue light, but their wings were already covered by thin ice, and their movements were clumsy. They were soon knocked into the domain by their companions and followed in their footsteps.

The realm, the extreme cold illusion.

It has the dual effects of physical freezing and mental erosion.

For these blood bats, who are of low intelligence and rely entirely on instinct and numbers to survive, they are practically natural enemies.

However, the number of bats was simply too great. Those in front were frozen and fell, while those behind continued to surge forward fearlessly, layer upon layer, attempting to overwhelm the blue light field that terrified them with sheer numbers.

The domain's light rippled slightly under the onslaught of countless bats, and the consumption of soul power required to maintain the domain continued to increase.

Lin Wan did not stand still and passively defend herself.

As he expanded his domain, his hands were already raised.

Long, slender fingers moved lightly in the air, the movement so fast that it left afterimages.

Since we can't use soul skills, let's use the purest method.

Soul power, compressed, solidified.

Strands of pure soul power flowed from his fingertips, not spreading into flashy shockwaves, but under the precise control of his powerful mental strength, they were compressed and condensed to the extreme, forming thin needles of soul power that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

These soul energy needles were as thin as cow hair, yet incredibly solid, their tips gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

They are silent, yet move with lightning speed.

call out!call out!call out!call out!

Lin Wan flicked her fingers repeatedly, and countless pale blue soul power needles shot out like a rain of pear blossoms towards the swarm of bats in front and above.

His attacks were not indiscriminate; each Soul Needle was aimed precisely at a Blood Bat's vital points—its eyes, head, or the vulnerable area where its wings connected to its body.

puff puff puff...

A dense, faint sound of penetrating air rang out.

The blood bats struck by the soul power needles didn't even have time to scream before their bodies stiffened abruptly, then they lost all their strength and fell like rain, with the small holes pierced through them.

While maintaining her domain, Lin Wan's hands moved like afterimages as she continuously shot out soul power needles.

He didn't stop; instead, he started running quickly forward along the narrow path.

Running on a narrow path less than half a foot wide with a bottomless abyss below.

This requires amazing balance, courage, and absolute control over the body.

But Lin Wan did it.

His figure became a blurry black shadow on the narrow path, each step precisely landing in the center without the slightest deviation.

The icy blue domain was like a mobile fortress, advancing with him, and wherever it passed, the blood bats froze and fell to the ground.

The soul-power needles followed like a shadow, precisely targeting the edge of the domain and any fish that tried to slip through the net from more cunning angles.

He was like a red-hot blade, cutting through a swarm of bats, advancing with unstoppable momentum.

Behind us, the narrow path was covered with scattered bloodstains and ice crystals left behind by fallen bats.

The swarm of bats ahead remained endless, their hissing, falling, and the whistling of soul-power needles piercing the air intertwined.

Lin Wan's expression remained calm, except for fine beads of sweat on her forehead, which were quickly frozen into ice shards by the low temperature within the domain.

Maintaining his domain and firing soul needles at high speed both deplete his soul power and mental strength.

Fortunately, the effects of the pills I took earlier are continuing to take hold.

He had to act quickly; on this path, delay meant death.

As he advanced at high speed, the number of bats chasing him began to decrease significantly.

Some were killed and fell, while others seemed to be afraid of the icy blue domain and its terrifying death efficiency, hovering at the far edge of darkness, only daring to let out sharp screechs, and no longer daring to approach easily.

The surrounding temperature seemed to gradually decrease from extreme heat as he moved forward.

It's not that his field of influence has expanded, but rather that the environment itself has changed.

The dark red glow in the darkness seemed to have faded somewhat, and the smell of sulfur in the air had also lessened.

However, just when Lin Wan thought he was about to break through this sea of ​​bats...

"squeak!!!"

A terrifying, extremely sharp, and high-pitched scream suddenly came from the abyss below the narrow path ahead.

This screech was completely different from the noisy cries of ordinary blood bats; it was filled with savagery, majesty, and an endless thirst for blood.

The moment the screech rang out, the remaining blood bats in front and all those lingering behind seemed to receive a supreme command, and they all stopped screeching and attacking.

They parted to the sides like a tide, making room directly in front of the narrow path.

Immediately afterwards, under the cover of the surrounding pale red light, an enormous dark golden figure slowly rose from the abyss below the narrow path.

The first thing that caught Lin Wan's eye was two enormous claws that shimmered with a dark golden metallic luster.

Each claw is over a meter in diameter, its sharp tips like the Grim Reaper's scythe, digging deep into the stone at the edge of the narrow path, causing gravel to fall in a flurry.

Then, there was its enormous body. Its dark golden surface was covered with a thick, carapace-like outer skin, and it was over four meters long, exuding a sense of power.

A pair of enormous wings were tightly folded at its sides, but even folded, their outline was still awe-inspiring.

What's most chilling is its head.

Not just one.

There are three!

Three ferocious bat heads grew side by side on a thick neck, each as large as a large basin, with layers of dark golden skin and six scarlet eyes like pools of blood, burning with the flames of violence and greed in the darkness, locked on Lin Wan who was running towards them on the narrow path.

Dark gold three-headed bat!

Surrounded in the silent embrace of countless blood bats, its central head once again opened its massive maw, filled with sharp teeth, and let out a low, defiant roar. A foul-smelling wind, carrying the stench of sulfur and blood, swept over them.

Suddenly, its claws, which were gripping the narrow path, loosened their grip!

boom!

The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King suddenly unfurled its enormous wings, unleashing a visible and violent shockwave.

The shockwave, carrying a strong stench of blood and sulfur, pressed down on Lin Wan like a solid wall.

The void on both sides of the narrow path seemed to tremble, and the stone chips on the path beneath their feet crumbled and fell into the endless dark abyss below.

Lin Wan stared at the dark gold three-headed bat king and instantly determined that it was a soul beast with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years.

If such a being were in the outside world, with his current strength and soul skills, killing him would not be difficult.

But on this hellish road, his soul skills are sealed and his martial soul cannot be summoned. All he can rely on is his own domain and his own abilities.
