89: Chapter 88 If I possessed 1000 domains, how would you respond?

The dragon bones snapped one after another, cracks appeared in the dragon pupils in the sky, and the dark golden canopy crumbled down in shards like broken glass.

"No—!"

The Dragon Lady hurriedly channeled her mana with both hands, desperately trying to maintain her domain.

But in the face of absolute power, struggling was meaningless.

The four-fold domain ground forward like a millstone, unstoppable, giving her absolutely no room to breathe.

Within ten seconds, the final bone pillar of the Bone Hell collapsed with a boom.

The domain shattered.

The scene reverted back to the circular main hall on the first floor of the Trial Tower.

"Cough..."

The Dragon Lady's knees went weak, and she knelt heavily onto the stone floor, gasping for air.

The backlash from her high-level domain being forcibly broken caused golden blood to spill from the corner of her mouth.

She raised her head; only a dull, vacant gaze remained in her golden slit pupils.

The arrogance, coldness, and killing intent in her eyes had all vanished.

In their place was disbelief.

"Four domains..."

Her voice was trembling.

"You, a Second Class Advancement human... How could you possibly have four domains... I am the King's own daughter... Even at Third-Rank, one can barely condense one..."

Lin Mo pulled his hand out of his pocket and brushed the dust off his sleeves.

He looked down at the Dragon Lady kneeling on the ground.

"Yo, isn't this the high-and-mighty Dragon Lady? Why are you so pathetic now?"

The Dragon Lady fell into a dead silence, offering no retort.

Her body began to turn transparent, and golden light particles drifted from her entire being.

As a Trial Tower boss, she would dissipate after being defeated.

But before dissipating, she suddenly spoke.

"Don't get cocky too early... You won't be able to climb this tower."

"My brothers and sisters have long since blocked every path forward for you..."

The voice came to an abrupt halt.

The Dragon Lady completely turned into golden light spots and dissipated into the air.

On the ground, a fist-sized dark golden stone lay quietly.

Its surface shimmered with an extremely faint dragon-patterned luster.

A system notification popped up.

[Congratulations on passing the first floor of the Trial Tower]

[Congratulations, you have completed the Third-Rank basic trial. (Talent is advancing... You can complete the Third-Rank by exiting the Trial Tower now.)]

[Note: Your talent will finish advancing after leaving the Trial Tower; the level of talent advancement is determined by the number of Trial Tower floors cleared.]

[Reward received: Third-Rank Skill Stone × 1 (Exclusive to Lin Mo)]

[Note: The Third-Rank Skill Stone can only be used inside the Trial Tower and cannot be taken out. Using the skill stone consumes 20 million EXP. The higher the floor, the better the skill quality. If your level is below 300, you cannot complete the Third-Rank.]

Lin Mo bent down and picked up the skill stone.

Seeing the second note above, his expression brightened!

Holy crap!

What does this mean?

Does this mean... as long as I have enough EXP, I can learn infinite skills in this tower?!

Wouldn't that mean he's about to take off?

For a level 300 person, 20 million EXP is almost half a level's worth of experience.

But for him, Lin Mo... a mere 20 million? It doesn't even count as a drop in the bucket for him!

[BOSS: Dragon Temple · Dragon Lady Qiluo (Third-Rank)]

[Level: LV.600]

[EXP Gained: 8 million]

[Instant EXP Multiplier: 86.5 million]

[Total EXP Gained: 6.92 trillion]

[Your level has increased to 867... 877]

The massive amount of EXP pushed Lin Mo up nearly 10 levels in an instant!

"Not bad, not bad!"

Lin Mo smiled.

He immediately used the skill stone in his hand.

[You have learned the skill: Two-Stage Slash!]

[Two-Stage Slash]

[Effect: Perform 2 consecutive slashes, each dealing 60% physical damage. (Damage multiplier increases by 1% per level)]

[Cost: 5 Mana]

[Cooldown: 3 seconds]

As Lin Mo expected, it was indeed a super trashy skill.

But not only was he not disappointed in the slightest, a near-pathological fanaticism and excitement flared up in his eyes.

He muttered to himself, acting like he was losing his mind.

"One thousand floors... There are a full one thousand floors here! Hahahaha!!"

Gradually, the corners of his mouth couldn't hold back, and he burst into laughter.

What is the concept of a one-thousand-floor Trial Tower?

That means one thousand skills!!

What does one thousand skills mean?

That means one thousand domains!!

Just imagine others showing off their domains in front of him, and he counters by opening 1,000 domains...

What kind of scene would that be?

It was too heaven-defying; Lin Mo couldn't keep a straight face even if he wanted to.

Other people would thank the heavens just to comprehend one domain.

Lin Mo comprehends 1,000 all at once!

I admit your high-level domain is very powerful.

But if I were to open 1,000 domains, how would you respond?

Looking at the switch for the next floor in front of him, Lin Mo licked his lips but didn't press it.

The Dragon Lady from just now had given him quite a sense of crisis; he had almost lost by just a tiny bit.

So he decided to level up his skills first, getting the rest of his skills to level 1000, and then slaughter his way up!

...

24 hours later.

[Two-Stage Slash (Level 1000)]

[Effect: Perform 2 consecutive slashes, each dealing 1059% physical damage. (Damage multiplier increases by 1% per level)]

[Cost: 5 Mana]

[Cooldown: 3 seconds]

[Advanced Effect 1: Cooldown reduced by 3 seconds]

[Advanced Effect 2: Thousand-Blade Domain]

[Thousand-Blade Domain]

[Enemies within the domain will suffer death by a thousand cuts!]

...

[Charge (Level 1000)]

[Effect: Instantly increase speed by 1049%, initiate a Charge towards the target, hitting the target for 5095% attack power damage, and stun the target for 1 second.]

[Each level increases speed by 1% and attack multiplier by 5%]

[Cooldown: 10 seconds.]

[Cost: 30 Mana]

[Advanced Effect 1: Can change direction during the Charge.]

[Advanced Effect 2: Stun Domain]

[Stun Domain]

[Within the domain, all your attacks will cause a stun effect.]

Satisfying.

Lin Mo let out a long breath of stale air.

He had pushed both [Charge] and [Two-Stage Slash] to the domain level in one go.

Counting the previous ones, the number of domains he had in his hands now reached a full 6!

Only the crappy [Battle Cry] skill was still stuck at level 200-something; mainly because its 1-minute long cooldown really affected the efficiency of grinding EXP, so Lin Mo only let out a roar when he occasionally remembered to.

However, with six domains as a foundation, it was enough to handle the next floor.

"Domain! Expand!"

Lin Mo shouted inwardly.

Hum!!!

Accompanied by an ear-shattering spatial tremor, six terrifying domain ripples of different colors and vastly different rules, centered on Lin Mo, erupted outward like six world-destroying storms!

This power!

Woohoo! Take off!

The next 999 floors!

Here I come!
