"Hahaha, Nathan, you''re still the same arrogant human!" Shane roared withughter.


    "Just stepping into the Basic Mastery realm, and you think you can withstand the tribtion of a fifth-level Basic Mastery like me? You dare challenge me to a duel after cultivating your prime spirit technique? You''re courting death!"


    His words barely finished before Shane made his move!


    As expected of a Basic Mastery Psychic steeped in power for thirty thousand years, Shane''s psychic domain was vast, instantly epassing the entire sky.


    Just like when he fought Daoist Bill, he trapped Nathan within his domain in the blink of an eye.


    This was Shane''s Sacred Spirit Domain.


    Within it resided psychic constructs he had generated over thirty millennia.


    The more constructs he had, the stronger he became.


    Druids had longer lifespans than humans.


    Although their psychic power cultivation was slower, it meant they had more time to perfect their abilities at the same level!


    Now, facing Nathan, a novice who had just entered the Basic Mastery realm, Shane unleashed even greater power than he had against Daoist Bill.


    The entire domain was teeming with psychic constructs, each radiating immense pressure, causing the Sacred Spirit Domain to shimmer with a seven-colored radiance.


    Within the domain, a chain materialized in space, clinking with the sound of shing metal.


    Druidic runes were etched onto the chain, emanating a sinister and powerful aura.


    It snaked through the Sacred Spirit Domain like a dragon, quickly weaving aplex web that ensnared the psychic constructs.


    "This ughter Chain hasn''t been used in ten thousand years. Consider it an honor to die by its hand!" Shane dered.


    As his voice faded, the ughter Chain began to whir like gears in a machine, exuding the aura of a high-level psychic artifact!


    The psychic constructs within the Sacred Spirit Domain surged toward Nathan in a dense wave!


    A totem rose within the space, and Shane''s various spells, no longer requiring psychic power, bombarded Nathan from the constructs.


    Nathan remained silent.


    The Ghostly Gates that had appeared during his tribtion reappeared, their doors flung wide open.


    Ghostly hands reached out, intercepting the iing chains.


    Shane, who had nearly killed Daoist Bill, lived up to his reputation.


    Unleashing his full power, he forced Nathan to deploy the Death Coffin to block the relentless assault of the ughter Chain, even as the Ghostly Gates absorbed most of the attacks.


    Nathan was left dodging and weaving within the Sacred Spirit Domain.


    But Shane''s attacks were too swift, suppressing him in a short amount of time!


    "Soul Scourge!" Nathan chanted, his fingers moving in a magic form.


    His prime spirit technique, awakened after breaking through to the Basic Mastery realm, manifested!


    Nathan''s domain surged outward, and ghostly figures crawled out from within, engaging Shane''s psychic constructs.


    Even the four Sky Corpses from the Four Symbols Death Energy Formation appeared, charging into battle under Nathan''smand.


    The battlefield within the domain became a chaotic sh between Shane''s army of psychic constructs and Nathan''s forces of zombies and ghosts, all entangled with the ughter Chain.


    Despite his efforts, Nathan was losing ground.


    He was forced to rely on the Death Coffin for defense.


    "Can he really not defeat Shane?" Ethan, standing beside Nathan, watched with a grave expression as Nathan desperately evaded the attacks.


    He was ready to intervene at any moment.


    However, for Nathan to have reached this point was already remarkable.


    Moreover...


    Nathan''s prime spirit technique, Soul Scourge, wasn''t primarily offensive.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    [Prime Spirit Technique: Soul Scourge]


    [Summons Dead Souls with the technique, locking onto the enemy''s energy flow.


    While the enemy cultivates psychic power, it gradually unravels their soul, and when their mind wavers, it allows the Dead Souls to gradually erode their soul like poison until they permeate it entirely, ensuring a fatal blow or causing their cultivation to regress.]


    This technique was terrifying, capable of silently killing an enemy.


    Given a hundred or a thousand years, as long as the enemy showed weakness, it could even kill a Basic Mastery Psychic.


    However, it wasn''t a technique suited for directbat.


    Currently, the greatest effect of Nathan using Soul Scourge was to enhance thebat prowess of the Dead Souls and zombies under his control.


    ...


    "Mike, this is a life-or-death battle. You cannot interfere," Lester said, frowning as he saw the killing intent surface on Mike''s face.


    "It''s not beneficial."


    "But Master Lester..." How could Mike not see that Nathan was clearly losing?


    However, seeing Lester''s serious expression, he could only feel anxious.


    If Nathan were truly killed by Shane, Lester wouldn''t even bat an eyelid.


    He would simply believe that Shane''s value outweighed Nathan''s!


    The battle raged for an entire day.


    Nathan was covered in wounds within the domain, and Mike felt as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his heart.


    Shaneughed wildly.


    "Nathan, hahaha, you should regret your arrogance! If you and Mike had joined forces, I might have held some respect for you. But you chose to fight alone, and now my Sacred Spirit Domain will gain another psychic construct!"


    He was ecstatic!


    His greatest fear had been Nathan''s prime spirit technique.


    However, after their confrontation, he discovered that it was a technique that affected the soul.


    He was also wary of the Death Coffin, but apart from its durability, it hadn''t disyed any other techniques.


    Shane had even peered into the Death Coffin''s interior.


    It was nothing more than a high-level psychic artifact used to aid in psychic power cultivation!


    Moreover...


    "Surrender your Coffin and let it acknowledge me as its master! You and the Coffin are a mismatch! We are the true match!" Shane''s face was flushed with excitement.


    With a flick of his ughter Chain, it struck Nathan''s chest, nearly knocking his prime spirit out of his body.


    While manipting the ughter Chain, he used his prime spirit technique and shouted at the Death Coffin, "Spirit, can you not feel it? My Sacred Spirit Domain, with thirty thousand years'' worth of umted psychic constructs! You are also a high-level psychic artifact that creates zombies and ghosts!"


    "Follow me! He only broke through the fifth-level thunder tribtion and became a Basic Mastery because of you, a talentless waste! I am different! If we be one, I can break through to Advanced Mastery!"


    However, his words did not elicit a response from the Death Coffin.


    It simply moved to protect Nathan once more.


    This enraged Shane.


    He even sensed... disdain in the Death Coffin''s aura?


    "You''re courting death! Once your master is dead, let''s see how long you can remain sealed!" Shane unleashed his prime spirit technique once more.


    But at that moment...
