143: Comprehend divine power, learn forbidden spells!

Lin Yue quickly checked.

Heart of Chaos (Supreme-Rank): 3 Stars

Effect: You will gain four special skills: Chaos Element, Chaos Power, Chaos Body, and Chaos Soul.

Chaos Element (3-Star Passive): Your Spell Damage will be converted into Chaos Attribute Damage by two hundred percent, ignoring magic resist. (Can be reduced by elemental resistance, can increase star level with talent)

Chaos Power (3-Star Active): When activated, increases spell power by one hundred and fifty percent, lasting 90 seconds, with a 3-minute cooldown (can increase star level with talent).

Chaos Body (3-Star Passive): Increases all resistances by two hundred percent (including elemental resistance, can increase star level with talent).

Chaos Soul (Active): Can fuse skills of the same type. (Cannot increase star level)

Proficiency: 730000 / 1000000

With the Heart of Chaos upgraded to 3 stars, his attributes received another substantial boost.

Moreover, the proficiency had reached an astonishing 730,000.

Only 270,000 more until the Heart of Chaos could advance to 4 stars.

This was truly an unexpected gain.

Lin Yue was overjoyed; he even wanted to challenge the old man again to raise the Heart of Chaos to 4 stars.

However, thinking of the old man's terrifying power, Lin Yue gave up.

Even if Lin Yue could withstand the Divine Might, without recovery items, he wouldn't be able to recover quickly.

Lin Yue checked the newly comprehended skill.

Divine Might (Active): Special Skill, cannot be upgraded

Effect: A powerful Divine Pressure that weakens enemy attributes. Current range is 1000 meters, causing all enemy attributes to decrease by 50%.

Description: Ineffective against targets whose Divine Might level is higher than yours.

Cost: 100 MP / second; No Cooldown

Divine Might?

"Isn't this the old man's Domain of God?"

"Could it be that I've become a demigod?"

Lin Yue was agitated and excited.

This skill was somewhat like a weakened version of the Domain of God, as the Domain of God could increase pressure, leaving those whose strength was lower than the caster with no resistance.

Lin Yue really wanted to spar with the old man again.

It was a pity that Divine Might was ineffective against targets whose strength far surpassed his own.

Without even thinking, Lin Yue knew the old man's strength far exceeded his.

Casting Divine Might consumed 100 MP per second. Lin Yue's current MP could only sustain it for 320 seconds, a little over five minutes.

Lin Yue still had 1300 free attribute points unallocated, so his MP was temporarily sufficient.

Lin Yue took out the Skill Book rewarded by the System again.

Thunder Spirit Armor (Active): 1 Star

Effect: Summons lightning to surround the body, lasting for one minute, resisting enemy attacks, and dealing lightning damage that paralyzes the enemy for 1 second upon close-range attack.

Cost: 200 MP

Casting Interval: 5 minutes

Learning Rank: Level 50 Second Advancement

Proficiency: (0/1000)

Divine Skill!

Only these two words came to Lin Yue's mind.

This Thunder Spirit Armor was simply a boon for mages.

For mages, the greatest fear was being closed in on by melee classes, although Lin Yue was an exception.

But this skill was definitely the nemesis of melee classes.

The Thunder Spirit Armor not only dealt lightning damage to enemies but could also paralyze them for 1 second.

For Lin Yue, this meant instantly launching 7 magical attacks and instantly killing the enemy.

And this was even before Lin Yue increased his Casting Speed.

Lin Yue completed his Second Advancement, and the maximum Casting Speed limit increased by another 3.0.

Based on Lin Yue's current attributes, that meant ten magical attacks per second—who could possibly withstand that?

"Increase Casting Speed, then add 500 attribute points to MP, and keep the remaining free attribute points for unforeseen needs."

Lin Yue had a plan and began allocating attribute points.

At this moment, Lin Yue's attributes were:

Nickname: White Emperor

Rank: Level 50 (Second Advancement)

Class: Chaos Mage (Lightning)

Class Trait: Chaos Mage Specialization (Lightning)

HP: 8,700,000 / 8,700,000

MP: 57,000 / 57,000

physical attack: 100; magic power: 640,000

Armor: 20,000; magic resist: 30,000; elemental resistance: 7,600

Casting Speed: 10.0; movement speed: 110

spell penetration: 50%; physical penetration: 20%

Spell Accuracy: 90%; Spell Lifesteal: 35%

Special Attributes: Critical Hit 60%, Luck 5, Spell True Damage 30%, Elemental Attack 3,000

free attribute points: 650

Fame Value: 325

Looking at his attributes, Lin Yue felt that describing them as monstrous was no longer sufficient.

"I have completed the Second Advancement; I can learn new skills now."

Lin Yue was expectant; reaching Level 50 Second Advancement allowed one to learn Forbidden Curses, albeit the most Elementary ones.

Lin Yue's heart stirred, and he left the Land of Chaos, reappearing in the Divine Hall.

"Mr. White Emperor."

Cai Wenji quickly greeted Lin Yue when she saw him appear.

Lin Yue nodded and looked at Chaos, who was still seated on the futon.

Chaos was facing Lin Yue. Although he couldn't see the other's expression, Lin Yue could sense that Chaos was very excited.

"Um... Lord Chaos, the stone tablet in the Land of Chaos seems to be broken."

Lin Yue looked at Chaos and spoke tentatively.

Since Cai Wenji was in the main hall, Chaos must already know about the situation in the Land of Chaos.

"It's fine, I already know."

From Chaos's tone, he didn't seem angry.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then what about my subsequent class advancements?"

"There will be a way when the time comes."

Chaos didn't say much, waved his hand, and two Skill Books appeared before Lin Yue.

"These are the skills you can Cultivate upon reaching Level 50 Second Advancement. Destiny, don't disappoint me."

Lin Yue quickly checked them.

Divine Punishment (Active): Elementary Forbidden Curse, 1 Star

Effect: Summons a bolt of divine lightning to inflict devastating damage on the enemy. Damage is doubled against Divine, Demonic, or Evil lifeforms.

Cost: 500 MP

Casting Interval: 10 minutes

Learning Rank: Level 50 Second Advancement

Proficiency (0/10000)

...Dance of a Thousand Demons (Active): Elementary Forbidden Curse, 1 Star

Effect: Sky-filling lightning, like a Dance of a Thousand Demons, deals devastating strikes to enemies within range. Current range is 300 meters.

Cost: 1000 MP

Casting Interval: 50 minutes

Learning Rank: Level 50 Second Advancement

Proficiency (0/10000)

Forbidden Curses, they truly are Forbidden Curses!

And there were two of them.

Divine Punishment was a single-target Forbidden Curse, and Dance of a Thousand Demons was an area-of-effect Forbidden Curse.

Furthermore, Divine Punishment had an extra effect: damage was increased by an additional 100% against divine, demonic, and evil lifeforms.

Lin Yue thought of the Evil God Emissaries; this skill was definitely the nemesis of those Evil Gods.

"Destiny, when you undergo your Third Advancement, the Lost City will open. Don't disappoint me."

Chaos spoke, his tone filled with deep meaning.

The Lost City will open?

Lin Yue said excitedly, "Does that mean that old man can leave this place?"

Chaos nodded.

Lin Yue was about to take his leave; the Third Advancement required reaching Level 150.

For Lin Yue, this would still take some time.

"Wait."

Chaos stopped Lin Yue and pointed to Cai Wenji beside him: "Having this little girl follow you might help you quite a bit."

"Thank you, my Lord."

Cai Wenji quickly bowed in thanks; clearly, she also wanted to see the outside world.

"She can leave the Lost City?"

Lin Yue was confused, then immediately thought of Zhuge Liang.

If Zhuge Liang could leave, then helping Cai Wenji leave this place should also be possible.

"She can, but she won't be able to display her full strength."

Lin Yue didn't mind; he didn't think Cai Wenji could offer much help, but having a beautiful woman accompany him wasn't bad either.
