77: Chapter 76 Dragon Blood? Absorb it all!
The Blade Domain contracted.
The silver-white storm, spanning hundreds of meters, felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, with sword qi converging madly toward the platinum longsword in Lin Mo's palm.
The air within a hundred-meter radius was evacuated into a vacuum.
Shattered bones, blood mist, and remnants of space were all swept into that increasingly brilliant sword light.
The sword light solidified.
A silver-white giant sword over thirty meters long hovered above Lin Mo's head, its surface covered in dense storm patterns that rotated and twisted incessantly, emitting a sharp, humming sound.
Looking at that exaggerated silver giant sword, Jie Yuan's expression changed completely.
He knew that this was the compression of domain power, an advanced ability that could only be achieved by mastering a domain to a certain level!
How could Lin Mo, a mere Second-Turn, possess a domain while also mastering it to such a level!?
At this moment, he only had his left arm remaining, the dragon blood within him was nearly exhausted, and even standing steady was a struggle.
Without a doubt, he was going to be killed in an instant by Lin Mo!!
"No——!"
Lin Mo brought his sword down.
There was no sound the moment the giant sword slashed down.
Because the speed of sound could not keep up with the speed of the sword.
The entire White Bone Wasteland was split in two by a blinding silver line.
The instant the silver line swept across Jie Yuan's body, his golden armor, flesh, bones, and even the remaining Space Law barrier around him were all disintegrated into particles by the sword qi.
There was no scream.
The body of the Level 999 Dragon General, Jie Yuan, fell away like ash scattered by the wind.
The giant sword's momentum remained undiminished, carving a trench two kilometers long and over thirty meters deep into the wasteland.
The bones on both sides of the trench were instantly vaporized, and the rising heat waves distorted the air.
Lin Mo retracted his sword.
The Blade Domain dissipated, and the surroundings returned to silence.
He looked suspiciously at Jie Yuan's dissipated body, feeling somewhat strange.
Because there was no kill notification, and the experience had not been credited.
"..."
He suddenly turned his head, his gaze sweeping toward the dragon beasts still shivering in the depths of the wasteland.
A Level 400 Bone-Armored Dragon Beast about eight hundred meters away suddenly erupted with a burst of golden light on its body surface.
The dragon beast shrieked, collapsed to the ground, and convulsed, its body rapidly shriveling as if something were bursting it open from the inside.
"Pop——"
The dragon beast's chest cavity exploded.
Jie Yuan walked out from inside.
Without his golden armor, covered from head to toe in the dragon beast's blood and organ fragments, he looked miserable to the extreme.
But he was truly alive, and his right arm had also returned to its original state.
"Ha——haha——"
Jie Yuan laughed up at the sky.
His laughter carried the madness of one who had survived a brush with death.
"Lin Mo! You are strong! You are indeed strong enough to exceed my imagination!"
He spread his arms, and the endless dragon beasts behind him let out a chorus of cries.
"But you will never be able to kill me!"
"Every dragon beast has dragon blood flowing within it! And I am a Dragon General personally appointed by the Dragon King!"
"As long as one dragon beast remains, I can use the dragon blood to be reborn!"
His eyes regained their fanaticism.
"Even if you kill every single dragon beast on this wasteland, the system will refresh them infinitely!"
"This is the immortal body granted to me by the Dragon King!"
"Even if I cannot defeat you, you cannot kill me, Lin Mo! Accept your fate!"
"My King's power is not something you can imagine!"
Lin Mo didn't speak.
In his eyes, Jie Yuan was already like a stray dog on the side of the road, not worth giving too much attention.
He was looking at his panel.
[Berserk: Level 999...]
Under the boost of tens of millions of times the experience, even though Berserk was slow to level up, it was now about to reach Level 1000!
Ding.
It was here.
[Berserk level has broken through Level 1000! Triggering second advancement!]
[Obtained advancement effect—Bloodlust Domain]
[Bloodlust Domain: Once activated, it can continuously absorb the HP of all creatures within the domain range, converting it into an equivalent amount of temporary maximum HP for oneself, and all of one's attacks will deal additional damage equal to 100% of one's own maximum HP!]
[Additional effect: HP is no longer deducted while in the Berserk state.]
[Domain Range: Increases with level, +10 meters of range per level.]
The corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up.
No more HP deduction?
Then, in the future, activating Berserk would be a pure buff state with zero side effects.
But what concerned him more was the first point.
Absorbing the HP of creatures within the domain, and attacks dealing 100% of maximum HP as additional damage!
Holy cow!
What kind of super-numerical domain is this that converts HP to damage!
He glanced at the dense crowd of dragon beasts eight hundred meters away.
Aren't these just ready-made consumables?
Let's try it!
"Bloodlust Domain, activate."
Suddenly, a large amount of blood-red mist surged between heaven and earth.
The blood qi surging from Lin Mo's body transformed into a pillar of blood shooting into the sky.
The blood pillar was not red.
It was dark gold.
Thick blood qi gushed out from his body, shooting straight up a hundred meters, tearing a hole in the dark red firmament above.
The blood qi solidified around him, forming a layer of constantly flowing dark golden aura.
The aura rose along his body's outline, each wisp like burning liquid metal, the temperature so high that the surrounding white bone ground began to melt.
His hair was lifted by the blood qi, standing straight up, and the tips of his hair turned a blinding gold within the aura.
The golden vertical pupils in his eyes became even brighter, as if two miniature suns were burning within them.
The entire White Bone Wasteland was illuminated by the dark golden light.
Jie Yuan's eyes widened instantly.
His face was full of disbelief.
Just a moment ago, he saw Lin Mo use a second domain...
Is this right?
Big brother, you're only a Second-Turn!!!
"Hey, hey, hey! Lin Mo, hurry up and turn it off! It's no fun! Really!"
Jie Yuan was a bit delirious, starting to babble incoherently.
Because he felt a fatal threat.
The nearest few dragon beasts began to shrivel.
The blood inside their bodies was decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye—not flowing out, but being directly drained away by an invisible force.
Golden blood mist seeped out from the dragon beasts, forming long lines of blood that rapidly converged into the dark golden aura around Lin Mo.
Most importantly,
Lin Mo was not just draining the dragon beasts' HP, but also the dragon blood left behind by the Dragon King!
Dragon beasts that lost their dragon blood would become ordinary wild monsters...
Even if they were reborn, they could no longer become dragon beasts!
In this way, he would also be unable to use the Dragon King's power to be reborn!!!
And Lin Mo smiled.
Interesting, too interesting.
Although he didn't understand why Jie Yuan was getting anxious again.
Anyway, seeing him anxious made him happy.
Within a five-thousand-meter range, countless dragon beasts simultaneously let out shrill wails.
Their bodies were shrinking, shriveling, and turning into dried corpses.
The dark golden blood mist, like thousands of rivers, surged toward Lin Mo from all directions.
Lin Mo's temporary HP skyrocketed at a rate of hundreds of thousands per second.
Jie Yuan's face was uglier than a dead person's.
"Stop! I beg you, brother! Hurry up and stop!! I was wrong!"
He rushed toward the nearest dragon beast, wanting to transfer his body, but that dragon beast's blood had already been drained by half, and the dragon blood factor within its body was so thin it was almost undetectable.
He switched to another one.
It was also shriveling.
He switched to another one again.
It was still shriveling!
Within a five-thousand-meter range, not a single dragon beast was spared.
"No, no, no, no, no——"
Jie Yuan ran toward the outside of the domain like a madman.
But Lin Mo just took a few casual steps; the Bloodlust Domain moved with him, enveloping Jie Yuan once again.
The dragon blood inside Jie Yuan also began to be drained away.
He felt his power slipping away, his bloodline drying up, and the power of the laws becoming thinner and thinner.
Jie Yuan fell to his knees, crying and begging for mercy.
Lin Mo shook his head speechlessly.
The people from the Dragon Temple are really a bunch of low-class fellows who can't be brought out into the open.
They either train puppets or play with curses, and their law is the most disgusting one, the Space Law.
Out of all the villains he had fought, the people from the Dragon Temple were the dirtiest and most bottomless.
To even turn their own people into puppets, it's truly something else.
Letting him go was impossible.
There was no reason worth letting him go.
With a thought from Lin Mo, the HP on Jie Yuan's body was instantly drained dry by him!
[You have killed LV.999 · Dungeon BOSS · Dragon General · Jie Yuan]
[Obtained EXP: 50 million.]
[Current EXP multiplier: 51.2 million]
[Final EXP obtained: 256 trillion!]
Lin Mo's whole body shone with great radiance, and his level soared rapidly!
