Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Chapter 191 Gravity Pill Domain

An Lushan's intuition almost confirmed that the person who orchestrated this in the Yuan Dynasty was definitely related to the man before him, or even that it was this man who did it.

He gritted his teeth; if he didn't still want to make use of this person behind the scenes, he would have loved to kill him immediately.

An Lushan, his face grim, turned to a gloomy and gaunt cultivator and said in a low voice, "Master Zhu, I ask you to test this person!"

Although the outside world had never heard of this cultivator surnamed Zhu, the core members of the Ming Dynasty's cultivation world were well aware of him.

This was a promising talent that the Ming Dynasty royal family had been keeping under wraps.

Don't be fooled by the arrogance of those top-ranked Golden Core cultivators; they are still quite different from these hidden masters.

Those players who are kept in reserve are very likely to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future. It is only necessary to keep these promising players in reserve for their safety.

It can be said to be invincible among its peers.

An Lushan's ambitions were far-reaching this time, which is why Emperor Ming made the difficult decision to send out such a promising talent. The fact that he didn't reach the Nascent Soul stage meant that An Lushan was essentially safe...

The cultivator surnamed Zhu frowned. He saw that the strange strength that Kongming had displayed was something that no ordinary rogue cultivator could possess.

He naturally couldn't figure out Kongming either, but since An Lushan had spoken and he had Emperor Ming's orders, he couldn't refuse.

The cultivator surnamed Zhu took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy began to circulate quietly, spreading out a subtle yet oppressive aura.

He took a step, seemingly slowly, but in an instant he arrived at a distance of about ten feet in front of Kongming.

"Teleport!"

People from the Eastern Palace exclaimed in surprise.

It should be noted that teleportation is a divine ability that only Nascent Soul stage cultivators can master. This Zhu surname cultivator in front of us is only at the peak of Golden Core stage, yet he can do it, which shows the extraordinary nature of a hidden-level cultivator.

However, Kongming saw it clearly: this cultivator surnamed Zhu had merely mastered some laws in advance, which was completely different from true teleportation.

For example, Zhuge Liang's ability to shrink the earth to an inch, while seemingly similar to the teleportation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, is fundamentally different.

Shrinking the Earth to an Inch is achieved by grasping the basics of spatial laws and using one's own spiritual power. It can achieve a near-instantaneous speed, but in reality, it creates a short shortcut within the existing space.

True teleportation, however, completely breaks through spatial barriers, allowing one to arrive at a destination in an instant...

Kongming narrowed his eyes. This Zhu-surname cultivator was indeed extraordinary. If he hadn't broken through, even if he used all his methods, he probably wouldn't have been able to deal with him.

But now!

If Kongming didn't consider the factor of hiding his trump cards, he could have easily destroyed him with a single "Old Six Pearls".

Of course, Kongming wouldn't be that foolish as to use his ultimate move in front of so many people; that wouldn't be a trump card.

Kongming's lips curled into an interesting smile. He quickly made a hand gesture, instantly creating a miniature gravity world and sucking the Zhu-surnamed cultivator into it.

"Hmph! So lacking in confidence, you're already unleashing your Dan Domain?" the Zhu-surnamed cultivator sneered.

Kongming remained unmoved; this was the second alchemical domain he had unintentionally opened after obtaining the 'Old Six Pearls'.

Those who possess dual core domains are extremely rare in the cultivation world.

After all, the creation of a Pill Domain cannot tolerate any impurities. Generally, cultivators rely on their strongest innate attributes as the foundation, devoting all their efforts to creating a unique Pill Domain, pouring all their energy into it, in order to gain absolute control over this exclusive domain.

Previously, Kongming had opened up the Seven Star Pill Domain in the same way. However, this time, by chance, he obtained the "Old Six Pearls". This mysterious object contained powerful law power, which merged and collided with his own spiritual power, unexpectedly opening up this unique gravity pill domain.

However, this gravity domain cannot cover a large area; its power is greatest when concentrated at a single point!

Here, the cultivator surnamed Zhu's spiritual power surged, resisting the interference of gravity, and he walked step by step toward Kongming. His aura continued to rise, and the surrounding air seemed to be compressed by his aura, making a "buzzing" sound.

"Hmph! Nothing special!" The cultivator surnamed Zhu sneered.

"You think you're so great?" A cold glint flashed in Kongming's eyes, and the once calm Gravity Pill Domain instantly changed its course.

Within the Dan Domain, gravity suddenly increased several times over.

Space itself began to distort and deform, and visible spatial ripples surged toward the Zhu-surname cultivator like waves.

The ground beneath the cultivator surnamed Zhu instantly cracked, and his legs were deeply embedded in it, as if a boulder weighing millions of pounds was pressing down on him.

"Hmph, a mere trick. You think you can trap me with such a paltry method?"

The cultivator surnamed Zhu gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly shouted, and his spiritual power erupted like a volcanic eruption.

The powerful surge of spiritual energy temporarily withstood the pressure of the gravity world.

"You've got some skill, but I'm the one who calls the shots within the Pill Domain!" Kong Ming showed no sign of panic as he formed hand seals once more.

"Hmph! You think you're the only one with a Pill Domain? I haven't shown it for many years, but today I'll let you see it for yourself!"

The cultivator surnamed Zhu's aura surged wildly, and a bloody, malevolent energy overflowed from him.

Countless enormous, pale white skulls slowly rose from the sea of ​​blood, their empty eye sockets burning with eerie green flames, each holding a massive bone blade and radiating a chilling aura.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying pill domain filled with stark white bones and boiling blood suddenly unfolded.

The intense aura of bloodlust clashed violently with Kongming's Gravity Pill Domain, causing ripples to spread across the space of the Gravity Pill Domain, making it somewhat unstable.

Upon seeing this, the cultivator surnamed Zhu revealed a sinister smile and began to form hand seals.

Above the sea of ​​blood, blood clouds surged, and a huge blood-red vortex appeared out of thin air. Countless skeletons emerged from it, baring their fangs and brandishing bone knives, bringing with them streaks of black malevolent energy. Wherever they passed, the space of the Gravity Pill Domain was shattered into pieces.

Kongming's eyes sharpened, realizing that this Zhu-surnamed cultivator was no ordinary person.

His own gravity-based alchemy domain has only just taken shape, and many combat techniques still need to be explored gradually.

He took a deep breath, his spiritual energy surging wildly within him as he focused all his efforts on stabilizing the gravity-based core.

At the same time, he rapidly changed hand seals, and the gravity laws within the Gravity Pill Domain changed once again.

The space that was originally several feet in size rapidly shrank under the powerful pressure of gravity, making the barrier of the Dan Domain even thicker.

The range of movement of those menacing skeletons was greatly reduced, and their movements of wielding bone knives became sluggish.

The thickening of the Dan Domain barrier caused the impact of the blood-fiend energy and black fiend energy to bounce back as if hitting hard steel, and many skeletons were even shattered by the force of the bounce.

The ferocious smile on the cultivator surnamed Zhu's face froze instantly, his eyes filled with shock.

Since he reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, he has not used his Core Domain for many years, nor is there any need for it.

Kongming's methods were unpredictable, so he also wanted to end the battle quickly.

However, he did not stop there. He changed hand seals even faster, and huge waves surged in the sea of ​​blood, causing the skulls that had been crushed by gravity to reassemble.

"Smash it again!"

Kongming shouted, and the spiritual energy around him surged into the Gravity Core Domain like an activated storm.

With a muffled boom, the gravity intensity within the pill domain increased exponentially, and the space contracted once again.

The newly assembled skeleton, under this terrifying gravity, had no chance to struggle and instantly turned into dust...
