172: Chapter 172, Hundredth Floor, Anti-Magic Domain

Having climbed over ninety floors of the tower, Tang Mo had gained over 1.3 million Skill Points just from recycling supreme-grade equipment; evolving a few God-level Skills shouldn't be a problem at all.

Thinking of this, Tang Mo simply couldn't be bothered to refine the corpse of the Profound Ice Dragon Armor Lord; he had to hurry and finish evolving and advancing the God-level Skills he possessed.

Fortunately, there weren't many options for evolving God-level Skills, as most focused on increasing numerical values. This was evident from the first time Tang Mo evolved his Source Poison.

Tang Mo chose to evolve the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus first to see if he could shorten the charging time after the evolution.

With a thought from Tang Mo, 50,000 Skill Points vanished instantly, and the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus transformed into Divine Wrath Poison Lotus I.

The damage multiplier increased from 16,000% to 20,000%, and the damage calculation formula changed to: base Poison attribute damage * 20,000% * charge time * 5.

Without time to savor it, Tang Mo decisively chose to continue evolving the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus.

Divine Wrath Poison Lotus II: Damage multiplier remained the same, but the damage calculation formula changed to: base Poison attribute damage * 20,000% * charge time * 10.

Divine Wrath Poison Lotus III: Other skill descriptions remained the same; the damage calculation formula changed to: base Poison attribute damage * 20,000% * charge time * 15.

Divine Wrath Poison Lotus IV: Other skill descriptions remained the same; the damage calculation formula changed to: base Poison attribute damage * 20,000% * charge time * 20.

Divine Wrath Poison Lotus V: The damage calculation formula changed to: base Poison attribute damage * 2300% * charge time * 25.

Once the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus evolved to V, it could no longer be evolved. It seemed that the maximum limit for God-level Skill evolution was five times.

Tang Mo took a quick look and was very satisfied with the results of the evolution.

Now, the power of one second of charging could match the previous twenty-five seconds. It could be said that even if Tang Mo didn't charge, the current Divine Wrath Poison Lotus was more powerful than it was before after charging for fifteen seconds.

Of course, this was without the buff from Poison God Possession.

"Since the evolution is complete, let me see what changes the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus has after being advanced!"

With a thought from Tang Mo, 100,000 Skill Points vanished again, and the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus underwent another change.

Divine Wrath Poison Lotus V Initial: The total charge time was reduced by one-fifth.

It appeared!

Charge time reduction!

It could be said that this advancement was exactly what Tang Mo wanted.

Tang Mo simply advanced the Divine Wrath Poison Lotus to the highest level, Divine Wrath Poison Lotus V Ultimate: The charge time would now be treated as fully charged by directly deducting the corresponding Mental Power, making the skill instantaneous!

Hiss!

After seeing the effects of the advanced skill, even Tang Mo couldn't help but gasp.

It truly lived up to the name of a God-level Skill; whether it was evolution or advancement, the effects were truly tangible.

Afterward, Tang Mo simply evolved and advanced Poison God Possession to its highest level as well.

【Poison God Possession V Ultimate (Lv160, Max Level): Summon Poison God Possession. All skill cooldown reduction +100%, all skill damage +30,000%. Skill casting no longer consumes Mental Power (except for charging skills). Duration: 10 hours, Cooldown: 10 hours. (Note: This skill is not affected by cooldown reduction. The higher the skill boost, the longer the cooldown.)】

After consuming a full 1.3 million Skill Points, Tang Mo finally evolved and advanced both God-level Skills to their highest levels, resulting in a massive increase in damage.

At this moment, the Poison God Possession state on Tang Mo had not yet worn off.

After Poison God Possession finished evolving and advancing, the poison god phantom on Tang Mo was noticeably more solid.

Moreover, it had sprouted five more heads.

Now, Tang Mo could cast nine different skills simultaneously.

At the same time, the time Tang Mo could stay on each floor had expired, so he stood up and walked toward the stairs leading to the next floor.

Relying on the highest-level Poison God Possession and Divine Wrath Poison Lotus, Tang Mo easily dealt with the fierce beasts on the ninety-fourth floor, once again obtaining one artifact, six pieces of saint artifact-grade equipment, and 55 pieces of supreme-grade equipment.

Since the number of fierce beasts had decreased again, the amount of supreme-grade equipment was not as high as it was at the beginning.

Tang Mo didn't mind; having artifacts was enough anyway.

Tang Mo carefully examined the artifact's attributes and couldn't put it down.

【Artifact: Abyss Demon Ring, All attributes +10,000%, All damage +10,000%, All skill tiers +2, All skill levels +5, Howling Abyss: When dealing damage to a target, inflicts Abyss Power upon it, applying a Chaos status effect. Wearing requirements: None.】

After equipping the Abyss Demon Ring, Tang Mo refined all the fierce beasts on the ninety-fourth floor as usual, then stood up and headed to the ninety-fifth floor.

...

Up until the ninety-ninth floor, after equipping the rewarded artifact, Elephant Lord Knee Pads, Tang Mo was fully equipped with artifact-grade gear.

【Artifact: Lord's Heart Accessory】

【Artifact: Abyss Demon Ring】

【Artifact: Spider Queen's Scepter】

【Artifact: Fire God's Magic Hat】

【Artifact: Obsidian Breastplate】

【Artifact: Nine Li Bracers】

【Artifact: Profound Ice Gloves】

【Artifact: Elephant Lord Knee Pads】

【Artifact: Thousand-Foot Boots】

Not only that, but three more artifacts lay quietly in Tang Mo's storage space:

Artifact: Heavenly Punishment Battle Axe (Two-handed), Artifact: Heavenly Judgment Holy Sword, and one Artifact: Ziwei Bracers.

After acquiring the Profound Ice Gloves, Tang Mo could equip gear even if it wasn't for a mage-class profession.

Furthermore, among the skills plundered by Source Poison, there was no shortage of axe and sword skills.

As long as he swapped equipment, these skills could also be cast normally.

After refining all the fierce beasts on the ninety-ninth floor, Tang Mo finally ascended to the hundredth floor of the Coiling Dragon Pagoda.

"Is it finally going to end?"

"Then let's use nine shots of Divine Wrath Poison Lotus to celebrate the final battle!"

In the very center of the hundredth floor, a tall figure sat cross-legged, with a giant sword about as tall and wide as it was stuck in the ground.

Its back muscles were bulging, and its body was covered in black and yellow spots, giving off an immense sense of oppression.

"Huh? Is there only one left?"

"Whatever, let's end this quickly."

Tang Mo couldn't be bothered to worry about whether there were fierce beasts hiding in the shadows; nine shots of Divine Wrath Poison Lotus were enough to destroy the entire hundredth floor nine times over.

Even if there were any hiding, they would never escape such a bombardment.

Just as Tang Mo prepared to cast Divine Wrath Poison Lotus, he discovered with horror that his Poison God Possession state had been canceled.

"What's going on? I clearly remember that the time hadn't run out yet!"

Tang Mo began to chant an incantation, only to find that there was absolutely no reaction.

"Skill Silence!!"

Tang Mo suddenly realized that there was only one possibility for this situation: he had entered a domain where skills were sealed, much like his own Domain of Poison.

Tang Mo moved his body cautiously, afraid of waking the opponent; he wanted to test whether skills could not be cast throughout the entire hundredth floor.

After testing everywhere he could, Tang Mo finally gave up.

"The hundredth floor of the Coiling Dragon Pagoda is actually an anti-magic field!!"
