Chapter 587 - 244: Domain and Dragon Breath! Skill Test

[When you are within the Scorched Earth Domain, the movement distance and speed of all your movement skills are increased. The magnitude of the increase is related to the domain’s range.]

[Note: Where the king treads, all is scorched earth.]

This was a pure combat domain skill—simple, brutal, and incredibly effective.

Infinitely stacking burns, high healing reduction and vulnerability, and it even enhanced his own mobility.

The only drawback was its massive cost.

With his current 2,250,000 Physical Strength Value and 940,000 Energy Value, he wouldn’t be able to maintain it for long, even at its minimum range.

His Energy Value, in particular, would be depleted first.

But Lin Ye knew that sustain issues would not be a problem later on.

The most classic example was the skill [Instant Body].

When he first obtained it, he could only use it twice, even at full Physical Strength.

But now, he could use it almost indefinitely without even considering the cost.

Lin Ye looked at the last skill.

[Celestial Flame Dragon Breath]

[Type: Active]

[Requirement: P4 Stage, must be in Dragon Descendant Incarnation state]

[Skill Level: Level 1/Level 30]

[Cost: 50%~100% of Energy Value and Physical Strength Value]

[You can infuse additional Gang Sha or spiritual energy to enhance the breath’s power.]

[Effect: Take a deep breath and ignite all the draconic blood power and energy within you, unleashing a scorching Dragon Breath from your mouth powerful enough to incinerate all things. Deals devastating Fire Attribute damage to a large fan-shaped area in front of you and applies a potent burn effect that lasts for 10 seconds.]

[Note: After the skill level is raised to Level 20, the skill’s form will change.]

[You will be able to use your Primordial Spirit Power to summon a colossal celestial fire dragon breath that descends from the nine heavens, carrying out a carpet-bombing-style annihilation strike on all targets within a several-kilometer radius in front of you.]

[Note: Unstoppable. Undeniable. I am the Cataclysm!]

Lin Ye finished reading the descriptions of these last two skills.

He gave a wry smile.

’The damn system really has my number.’

He had 12 skill points left.

If he wanted to maximize his combat power, there was only one choice.

He had to spend 10 skill points to directly unlock [Scorched Earth Domain].

Then, he would assign the remaining 2 points, one each to [Dragon Descendant Incarnation] and [Celestial Flame Dragon Breath].

This way, he could activate all the P4 Stage skills. Although they would be low-level, he would at least have the right to use them.

’Activate them first, think later.’

Without further hesitation, Lin Ye made his move with a thought.

[You have consumed 10 skill points and unlocked the skill: Scorched Earth Domain!]

[You have consumed 1 skill point. Skill: Dragon Descendant Incarnation has been upgraded to Level 1!]

[You have consumed 1 skill point. Skill: Celestial Flame Dragon Breath has been upgraded to Level 1!]

The moment he finished allocating his points, Lin Ye felt his connection to the Fire Element grow even stronger, as if he could conjure a world-burning inferno out of thin air with a single thought.

He swung himself up from the bed, feeling the surging power coursing through his body.

Lin Ye glanced out the window. The evening glow had already painted half the sky red.

Testing his skills here was obviously out of the question.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Castling]!

HUMMM—

The space in the bedroom fluctuated slightly, and Lin Ye’s figure vanished in an instant.

...

Cold, silent, and magnificent.

When Lin Ye opened his eyes again, he found himself inside an impossibly vast ship’s bridge.

The space was the size of several football fields, its ceiling so high it was out of sight. Countless ethereal blue light paths flowed across the pitch-black alloy walls and floor, creating a dreamlike scene.

Before him was a massive console assembled from thousands of holographic screens. Right now, those screens were glowing with a soft blue light, displaying complex data that Lin Ye couldn’t read but could instantly understand through the Fire Seed Source.

This was the cockpit, the very core of the massive ark that had pierced through the entirety of Charon Star.

Under the highest directive of the Fire Seed Source, tens of thousands of the Intelligent Mechanism Race had worked day and night to mostly repair this area, which had been severely damaged in the battle with Noah.

But at the same time, looking out through the absurdly large, transparent viewport at the front of the bridge...

The planet’s core, which once radiated infinite light and heat like an underground sun, had now completely extinguished all its light. It had become a colossal, dim, and cold iron sphere suspended in an endless ocean of magma.

After having every last trace of its energy drained, the dwarf planet named Charon was, for all intents and purposes, truly dead.

And the ark, which was built by feeding on it, was now unable to start due to the complete depletion of its energy source.

To get this massive starship running again and break out of the forgotten Warren Border Prison, he would have to find a new, immense power source sufficient to drive its main engines.

Lin Ye put those thoughts aside.

That was all for later. Right now, he had more important things to do.

He was going to test the brand-new powers belonging to his P4 Stage that he had just unlocked.

In the next instant, Lin Ye’s figure became illusory.

Stage transition!

And this time, Lin Ye didn’t follow the usual sequence of switching from P1 to P2, then to P3.

He skipped the two intermediate stages, leaping instantly from his normal P1 state to P4!

The moment he entered the P4 Stage, Lin Ye felt a grand and scorching power awaken with a ROAR from the depths of his bloodline, where it had seemingly slumbered for eons!

He subconsciously opened his attribute panel.

The 90% boost to All Attributes provided by [Ancient Dragon Blood] Level 30 had already taken effect.

His already terrifying four-dimensional attributes, without the buff of any active skills, skyrocketed once again, directly approaching the values he had in his [Frenzy] state!
