Lord of the Magical Beasts

Chapter 420: Stacking of Domains

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

While Evelyn was wiping off the blood stains on Yang Ling’s clothes, she talked to him about the cultures of the local Sea Tribes. With her explanations, Yang Ling understood a lot more about the Sea Tribes.

Originally, the boundless sea had a surface area that was a few dozen times greater than the Tailun Continent, even going up to a few hundred times greater. It was divided up amongst the many, many Sea Tribes. Often, one small Sea Tribe would own a huge piece of Sea Domain. But, most of the Sea Domains that were fertile and had the most resources were occupied by the strongest Sea Tribes.

If the Sea Tribes were naturally born Water Element Spellcasters, then, the Mermaids were naturally born Water Element Soul Spellcasters. Other people might train for most of their lives and not even advance to intermediate level Spellcasters, yet they were born with large amounts Water Element Magical Power in their bodies, and need not go through much training to be able to cast the lower intermediate level spells. Their speed of training in Water Element Magic was even such that the ordinary people could only look on and hope to reach.

Relying on their powerful gift and above ordinary intelligence, historically, the Mermaid Tribe once commanded the four seas, becoming the only Royal in the history of the vast sea. Unfortunately, they were small in population, and after more than seven or eight out of every ten of their elites were lost in battle in the sea and on land, their power had greatly declined. A lot of powerful Sea Tribes took the opportunity to leave their control, thus the vast seas entered an era of a state of instability and chaos.

After the huge battle between sea and land ended for a few thousand years, the Mermaid Tribe’s power only grew weaker by the generation, and only had the Siattu Sea Domain left in their control. Even though with their combined power, they were still one of the most powerful in the vast seas, that could be counted on one hand, but they were unable to regain the lost glory of yesteryears.

“Evelyn, I heard that there are other continents beyond the seas, I wonder if it’s true?” After understanding more about the vast seas, Yang Ling had a sudden thought and recalled a rumor about the Heavenly Fox Tribe that used a Magical Formation to immigrate to the overseas continents to settle down.

“According to what I know, there aren’t any continents like Tailun. But there are many huge islands!” Evelyn furrowed her brows, and tried her best to recall the ancient records she had seen, and paused for a while before saying, “But, the sea is simply too vast, there are many places that even us, the Siattu Mermaid Tribe, do not have any information on. According to legend, that after the Stormy Seas Domain, where Magical Beasts run rampant, there lies another vast sea, with a vastly different Oriental Continent. I don’t know if it’s true of not!”

Magical Beasts run rampant?

The person who spoke might not have meant it as anything, but it meant a lot to the person listening. Hearing what the Mermaid Evelyn said, Yang Ling had a sudden thought.

In order to deal with the upcoming revenge by the Church, he needed to think of a way to increase his own power. He needed to quickly train in his Wizardry. Sacrificial training on the Teleportation Portal and the Ring of the Earth could be one solution, but taming a powerful high level Magical Beast is another way.

The vast seas had a surface area a few dozen times, or even a few hundred times larger that the Tailun Continent. There must be various strong and powerful Magical Beasts. If he could tame a large group of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts, even if he could not take them on one to one, he could also overwhelm them with a swarm of Magical Beasts, and exhaust them to death. If he could tame a Divine Level Magical Beast by accident, then that would be even more wonderful!

“Brother Yang, there are certain restricted areas within the sea. Those places are those that even our strongest warriors and priests do not dare barge in lightly!” After falling silent in thought for a while, she continued, “If you really must go, can you wait for a little more than a month? After I have sent the Staff of Life back to Siattu and have resolved my father’s heart disease, I’ll be your guide!”

“Great, with a beautiful tour guide, I’ll have no problem catching as many Magical Beasts as I want!” Yang Ling smiled, and looking at the Mermaid Evelyn who was full of worry, he paused and continued, “Don’t worry, even the Pharaoh King was no match for me. I’ll have no problem dealing with a few Magical Beasts!”

“In order to be resurrected, the Pharaoh had exhausted a great amount of Magical Energy. If he was at the peak of his game, I’m afraid few people would be able to escape the Underground Tomb!” Elder Brent just happened to be passing by, and after hearing what Yang Ling said, and strode over. After pausing for a while, he continued, “The Stormy Seas Domain was not only a place where Magical Beasts run rampant, it is also full of undercurrents and traps. If someone of lesser power were to entre, he is definitely courting death!

Seeing Brent’s serious attitude towards this matter, Yang Ling asked, “Elder, have you been to the Stormy Seas Domain before?”

“My Tutor and I went once when we just advanced to the level of Domain Expert, but...” Recalling what happened back then, Elder Brent shook his head, “Back then, my Tutor and I could already stack three layers of Divine Domains, but even under his protection, I could only journey halfway through before being forced to turn back and retreat!”

“What? Three layers of Divine Domains? Could t be that one could even stack Domains?” Yang Ling looked doubtfully at Elder Brent.

“Of course they can be stacked. Actually, Domains can be divided into six main types, Life, Order, Nature, Energy, Death and Chaos. Within each type, there are many branches. Even if one trained until they reached Divine Level, it’s the same. For example, my Divine Domain is made by stacking Wind Ripple Dagger and Wind Breaking Wall together. One type is in charge of attack while the other is in charge of defense. Once you reached mastery of the two types of Laws and stack them together, your power will increase multiple times, or even more, in an instant!”

While speaking, Elder Brent stretched out both his hands, and ten tiny whirlwinds appeared above each finger tip, each one seemingly the same, on the surface. But upon closer inspection, one would discover that the whirlwinds on the right was made up of many sharp Wind Blades, each one emitting a ray of sharp murderous energy. The whirlwinds on the right were tightly wound and were unable to be separated, they slowly spun as one body, joined together and not separating.

“Elder, if one were to stack different types of Domains, what would happen?” Thinking of his own Ice-sealing Domain and the Dark Dragon King’s powerful Dragon Realm, Yang Ling had a sudden thought.

“It’s very difficult. In so many years, I have yet to hear of anyone who could stack two different types of Domains!” Elder Brent shook his head, fell silent in thought for a while, then continued, “But just because there aren’t any in the Tailun Continent does not mean that there aren’t any in the other Dimensions. If one were to stack multiple different types of Domains, one would either not be able to contain the explosive power and die, or one’s power would increase in leaps and bounds, unleashing great potential.”

Back then, just as he trained till he reached the Domain level, Brent also had similar thoughts. He was preparing to train in the mastery of the Law of Life, on top of the foundations of the mastery of the Law of the Wind Element. But he did not expect that not only had he wasted over a dozen years in training with nothing to show for it, he even got badly scolded by his Tutor, who had rushed over when he heard the news.

One person’s Mental Energy was limited. It was already difficult to gain mastery of one type of Laws, it was even more difficult to gain mastery in two types of Laws!

“Yang Ling, I must go. After so many years, it is time for me to go back to Dark Sand island. You be careful on your own.” Thinking of his Tribe that had almost been exterminated by the humans, Elder Brent let out a long dejected sigh. He did not expect for so many things to have happened in Dark Sand Island since he had gotten himself trapped in the Underground Tomb.

Return to Dark Sand Island?

Yang Ling smiled bitterly. If Elder Brent could have helped to hold the fort, his Realm would have been safer. If he were to return to Dark Sand Island to cultivate his training behind closed doors, what would he use against the Divine Level Experts who came to take revenge? Sending low level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts and Spiders against the Church’s Templar Experts would be like sending moths to the flame. He feared that no amount of them would be enough for the other party to kill. People like the Dark Dragon King and Immet might be very powerful, but their numbers were limited after all. Within a short period of time, where would he go and find so many powerful Magical Beasts?

“This is a piece of Wind Crystal. If you blow hard on it when you run into any trouble, I would be able to sense it even if I’m a few thousand miles away!”

Seeing the grave look on Yang Ling’s face, Brent naturally understood the worries he had. While speaking, he took out an odd crystal on his person. It was all white, and was filled with holes the size of a needle’s eye. Gently blowing on it, it immediately sounded with a ‘wooo’ sound. The sound might not be loud, but it carried with it a strange energy, spreading itself far and wide.

“Thank you Elder, oh yes, here’s a bottle of the Water of the Spring of Life. It might be of some use to you if you drink it!” Seeing that Elder Brent was thinking of his Tribesmen that he had left behind on Dark Sand Island and could not wait to leave, Yang Ling took out a bottle the Water of the Spring of Life made using Life Essence, from his Space Ring.

The Water of the Spring of Life could not only cure a hundred types of poisons, it cold also help one recover rapidly from injuries and increase the speed of training. After Elder Brent had been trapped in the Underground Tomb for a few thousand years, his Divine Power and Mental Energy had all dropped to dangerously low levels. If he drank a bottle of the Water of the Spring of Life, he might get some unexpected benefits from it. As long as his power could recover rapidly, it might greatly benefit Yang Ling himself too.

“The Water of the Spring of Life might be of great benefit to an Expert below the Domain level, but to a person of Divine Level, drinking it will have no effect at all!” Looking at the precious Water of the Spring of Life, Elder Brent smiled lightly. “Yang Ling, you better keep such a good thing for yourself. Don’t waste it. You have revived hundreds of out Tribesmen, and to us, the people of the Vandal Tribe, we owe you a great favor. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to just ask. And remember, if you do not have enough power do not by any means enter the Stormy Seas Domain lightly!”

After putting the bottle back in Yang Ling’s hand, Elder Brent left silently, and before long, vanished into the immense forest. Seemed like after being trapped in the Burning Fire Restriction for thousands of years, his heart had already left straight for home, like an arrow.

“Brother Yang, I...” Seeing Yang Ling frowning, the Mermaid Evelyn was at a loss of words, trying to say something, but was hesitant.

“Evelyn, go. Take the Staff of Life and hurry back. Just leave a few warriors for me to help track the movements of the pirate One-eyed Dragon!” Seeing the stuttering Evelyn, Yang Ling need not think too much to understand what she wanted. After all, if it were him, he would also long to go home after getting the Staff of Life, and would not bear to wait to get back the home that was being ravaged by the Crimson Tide.

“Brother Yang, after resolving the Crimson Tide within my Sea Domain and my father’s heart illness, I will be back,” the Mermaid Evelyn’s eyes were red, and after pausing for a while, said, “Then, I’ll watch the sunrise with you on the sea, and go with you to the Stormy Seas Domain where Magical Beasts run rampant!”

Recalling the moment on the day, where Yang Ling had gently covered her with a cloak, and thinking of how far the journey of the tens of thousands of miles to the Siattu Sea Domain was, and how long it would be before she could come back, Evelyn felt a lump in her throat, and waves of agony overcame her heart. Looking meaningfully at Yang Ling one last time, she clutched the Staff of Life and left rapidly. She did not know why, but she suddenly thought of the tears of the Goddess Venus.

See the sunrise on the big sea?

Looking at Evelyn’s rapidly disappearing form, Yang Ling took a deep breath, and led his man to quickly go back to Jaboli. Without Elder Brent holding the fort, the danger his Domain faced would be even greater. But he did not believe that once he had laid down various Restrictions, the Church fellows would be able to barge in smoothly.

No matter human or god, one would definitely have a weakness!

Thinking about the mysterious Wizard Pagoda’s Space and the possibility of stacking different types of Domains, and thinking of the Burning Fire Restriction that had trapped Elder Brent for thousands of years, Yang Ling tightly clenched his fists. He would block the soldiers with his generals and cover a flood of water with soil and overcome all odds. He did not believe that every fellow within the Church had superpowers!
