Chapter 173: Chapter 138 Lu Sheng’s actions, with various thoughts, Du Bai’s gift, control over the Giant Divine Soldier!

The Domain of the Life and Death Realm suddenly opened, enveloping the entire area within a hundred meters. The nearby Yellow Sand Beasts had no time to react at all before their life force was completely drained away by the Domain of the Life and Death Realm, turning them into dust and scattering them into the heavens and the earth.

Gradually, Lu Sheng opened his eyes, with a faint glow flickering within them.

The panel automatically appeared before him.

[Realm: Golden Body (57/100)]

[Immortal Technique: (10/100) LV2]

[Life and Death Technique: (45/100) LV4]

[Domain of the Life and Death Realm: (10/100) LV2]

[Undying Technique: (5/100) LV2]

"My cultivation is just three points away from reaching the Late Fourth Stage. The Life and Death Technique... is almost halfway there now."

"At this pace, I will be able to enter the Late Fourth Stage within at most a year."

Looking at the panel, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile.

In over six years, from the initial Fourth Stage to the Late Fourth Stage, this speed is incredibly fast. At least when Du Bai transitioned from the initial Fourth Stage to the peak of the Fourth Stage, it took him more than thirty years.

Lu Sheng slowly stood up, his heart stirring slightly, and looked up at the sky above the Ancient Temple Star.

After advancing the Domain of the Life and Death Realm to Level 2, his Divine Soul grew more powerful, and Lu Sheng’s perception also significantly strengthened. Even in the Land of Skeletons, Lu Sheng still sensed a powerful presence in the sky above the Ancient Temple Star, heading in the direction of the Sanctuary.

This presence... Lu Sheng was very familiar with.

"Senior Brother Du Bai... you have finally recovered!"

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, stepping forward towards the Sanctuary.

Just as Lu Sheng arrived at the Sanctuary, a familiar silver mecha descended from the sky, landing near the Sanctuary, stirring up a sandstorm of yellow sand.

The aura emitted by the mecha seemed to annihilate the surrounding deathly silence qi.

As the mecha opened, Du Bai’s figure appeared before Lu Sheng’s eyes.

"Senior Brother Du Bai..."

Lu Sheng smiled, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that although the aura of the Giant Divine Soldier was strong, Du Bai’s own aura was rather weak.

At the very least... compared to the last time he saw Du Bai, his aura was much weaker.

Lu Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly. "Has Senior Brother Du Bai’s injury not healed yet?"

Du Bai stepped down from the mecha, waving at Lu Sheng with a forced smile on his face.

"Don’t mention it, this time I’ve really had a big fall."

Hearing Du Bai’s words, Lu Sheng also fell silent.

The two of them then walked into the Sanctuary. Du Bai waved his hand, and a bottle of white wine appeared out of nowhere. Before Lu Sheng could speak, Du Bai had already opened the bottle and took a big gulp.

Bang!

After drinking, Du Bai heavily slammed the wine bottle onto the table.

"On this mission, I encountered the Space Soul Race!"

Du Bai continued to speak, a strong smell of alcohol bursting from his mouth.

Lu Sheng’s brows knitted slightly, as information about the Space Soul Race emerged in his mind.

"The Space Soul Race?"

Recalling information about the Space Soul Race, Lu Sheng roughly understood why Du Bai had faced such a setback this time.

Among the cosmic races, the Space Soul Race is a rather unique race. Their methods are often aimed at the Divine Soul.

If one’s Divine Soul is not strong, it is easy to be suppressed by them. In the Martial Artist System, one can only ignore the attacks of the Space Soul Race if they have reached the Fifth Stage, integrating the Divine Soul into the physical body.

But Du Bai...

Despite having combat power comparable to Mid-stage Tier Five under the enhancement of the Giant Divine Soldier, he was essentially still at the peak of the Fourth Stage, with not a particularly strong Divine Soul.

Yet the Space Soul Race that he encountered was precisely the nemesis of Du Bai, a Giant Divine Soldier Martial Artist.

"Those bastards, their methods are really bizarre. If it weren’t for a lucky escape with the help of the Giant Divine Soldier, I might have died on the front line by now."

Du Bai spoke with a bitter smile.

"But even though I narrowly escaped, my Divine Soul was severely damaged. My strength can’t be fully exerted, and even with the Giant Divine Soldier, I can barely maintain the combat power of the peak of the Fourth Stage."

"And the combat power of the peak of the Fourth Stage on the front lines... it really is nothing."

"I could only hide and flee, avoiding those bastards’ searches. I stayed on the front line for nearly a year before meeting a senior brother searching for me, who brought me back from the front line."

Du Bai’s face was filled with bitterness as he spoke, with a thick sorrow between his brows.

Du Bai took another sip of white wine, looking at Lu Sheng with gradually softer eyes.

"This time, thank you very much."

Du Bai spoke softly.

"If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t have been able to return to the Life Factions."

Du Bai knew very well that if Lu Sheng hadn’t added extra credits, the Fifth Stage seniors in the faction would not have taken on his mission.

After all, three thousand credits weren’t enough to make these Fifth Stage seniors take the risk.

It is no exaggeration to say that the greatest credit for his survival lies with Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng looked at Du Bai, and with a calm expression, said, "It’s all over now. Haven’t you come back? As long as you live well, there’s nothing you can’t get through."

Faced with Lu Sheng’s comforting words, Du Bai just smiled and shook his head, then took out a silver ring from his pocket. The ring contained a rich energy within it.

Lu Sheng looked closely and clearly felt the strong vitality within that ring.

"This is..."

Lu Sheng looked curiously at the silver ring.

Du Bai spoke slowly, "This is... the control ring for the Giant Divine Soldier. It is specifically used to control the Giant Divine Soldier. Now..."

"It’s yours!"

With that, Du Bai handed the silver ring to Lu Sheng.
