Chapter 794: Black Stone City

Loading specific Domain effects, please wait…

Zhou Huai pulled up the System panel, and when his eyes fell on those concise yet overbearing attribute lines of the Domain of the Magic God, even he, a Half-step Transcendent, was taken aback.

Domain Name: Domain of the Magic God (Unique)

Domain Effect 1: Might of the Magic God. Within the Domain range, when the caster casts all elemental-type skills (including fire, frost, storm, earth and stone, etc.), the final power of the skills is forcibly increased by 200%!

Domain Effect 2: Mana Surge. Friendly units within the Domain restore 10% of their maximum mana per second, and mana restoration speed is increased by 500%! Furthermore, it ignores any sealing and consumption effects targeting mana.

Domain Effect 3: Elemental Torrent. The cooldowns (CD) of all elemental-type skills within the Domain are forcibly reduced by 80%! This effect can perfectly stack with the CD reduction effects of conventional equipment, affixes, and passive skills!

Domain Duration: 30 minutes.

Domain Cooldown: 24 hours.

After reading these three Heaven-Defying, off-the-charts attributes, Zhou Huai's usually steady expression finally lost control as he silently exclaimed, "Good grief!"

"Power increased by two times, mana recovery increased by five times… The most outrageous part is this 80% cooldown reduction!"

Zhou Huai's breathing hitched.

He knew all too well what this attribute meant.

His true body, due to the Fusion of multiple top-tier Clones, coupled with the passive affixes of a full set of mythic-grade mage equipment tailor-made by Ou Yezi previously, already inherently possessed 15% to 20% skill cooldown reduction.

And now, if these two effects were perfectly stacked together.

Wouldn't that directly reach nearly 100% cooldown reduction?!

100% CD reduction!

What kind of concept was this?

This meant that Gandalf's earth-shattering forbidden spell skills that originally took tens of seconds or even hours to cool down, such as [Meteor Fire Rain] and [Thousand Mile Ice Seal], would completely turn into basic attacks that could be frantically spammed without intervals or restrictions inside the Domain of the Magic God!

"Using a forbidden spell as a basic attack…" Zhou Huai swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Matched with five times the mana recovery, as long as my mana holds up, I alone can thoroughly cleanse a province's map with forbidden spells a hundred times within a few seconds!"

Infinite Firepower!

This was simply living, unreasonable infinite firepower!

"Master."

Just as Zhou Huai fell into wild joy, the young Gandalf holding a staff drifted down like the wind and knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Huai. The four-colored light in his eyes receded and returned to calm, and the Magic God's pressure was more than ten times stronger than before.

"Gandalf has lived up to the mission and successfully comprehended the Domain of the Magic God."

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Congratulations, Your Excellency the Magic God."

Chun curled her lips to the side, but still praised sincerely, "However, now that your little toy has finished its Breakthrough, that Styx High Priest ahead is probably getting a bit impatient, right?"

Zhou Huai turned around and looked at the towering Black Stone City ten kilometers away.

The power within his body had completed integration. Gandalf, Gabriel, Moria, Hou Yi, Victor… Under the traction of [Ten Thousand Aspects into One], the powers of all Clones converged deep within every single cell of Zhou Huai's true body.

He possessed unsolvable defense, earth-shattering output, elusive spatial displacement, and the newly comprehended infinite firepower Domain of the Magic God.

In his eyes, this world had become insignificant.

"Anubis…"

Zhou Huai smiled slightly and gently kicked Xiao Hei's horn.

"Xiao Hei, full speed ahead!"

"Roar——!!"

Receiving the order, the Abyssal Magic Dragon let out a roar that shattered the clouds. Spreading its wings, its massive body turned into a black lightning bolt, diving toward the Black Stone City with its gates wide open ahead under the sky where the four-colored light scattered across the sky!

Xiao Hei whistled through the air.

Zhou Huai closed his eyes and activated Victor's fused [Void Omniscience].

However, as the Abyssal Magic Dragon continuously approached, his mind did not present a clear model of Black Stone City, but instead a mottled mosaic.

"What is going on?" Zhou Huai frowned slightly, raising questions in his heart about Victor's passive effect: "The closer the distance, the blurrier the perception instead. The spatial data at that location of Black Stone City has been stamped with a thick layer of barrier."

Chun, who was applying sunscreen to herself beside him, glanced at him and chuckled lightly, "Don't waste your effort. That's spatial folding and dimensional distortion. For an ability like yours that relies on spatial node feedback to perceive, he only needs to mess up the space in that area, and your perception will naturally be stuffed with garbage data. That's not a mosaic; it's countless folded spatial fragments refracting light against each other."

"So that's how it is." Zhou Huai came to a realization.

In the database of the Great Xia Military Department, there was a record regarding the Ancient Egypt Kingdom.

In the Ancient Egypt Kingdom, Black Stone City belonged to an extremely special existence.

It was the center of power and faith.

Rumor has it that every year, the subjects of Ancient Egypt would set out from countless oases and tribes, crossing the vast desert to head to Black Stone City to worship the divine successor. That was a grand ceremony where hundreds of thousands of Professionals gathered outside the city just to listen to the divine oracle."

The princes of the Ancient Egypt Empire, no matter how high their talent or how hard their background, were mere commoners before receiving the blessing of the divine successor in the center of Black Stone City.

They had to walk across the Styx Desert, arrive at Black Stone City, and complete their exclusive class advancement under the baptism of the ancient gods. Only by changing classes into a profession recognized by the ancient gods could they become the new generation of kings and rule the Empire. And those princes who did not receive the blessing would be judged on the spot as forsaken by the gods and burned to ashes by the divine fire.

Just as they were speaking, Xiao Hei's massive body sank downward. In the desert below, a towering Black Stone City finally broke through the camouflage of flying sand and presented itself before the two of them.

The black city walls were a hundred meters high, exuding a metallic luster. On both sides of the city gate, two huge Sphinxes stood prominently. They were carved from a single piece of black stone with their eyes tightly closed, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.

Emanating from these two statues were mana fluctuations no less than an 85th-level Quasi-God Level magical puppet.

Chun, however, paid no attention to those two majestic Sphinxes. Her gaze crossed the black city walls and locked onto the huge black pyramid in the exact center of the city, which was level with the firmament.

The black pyramid was a silent monument. Its body was covered with complex and obscure dark gold patterns. Above the spire, a huge black crystal was rotating on its own, frantically devouring the mottled Law energy dissipating around it.

Chun gazed at the pyramid, her expression somewhat trance-like. She looked at it for a long time before speaking, her voice revealing complexity:

"This building… looks really familiar."

Zhou Huai turned his head to look at her: "Familiar? Where have you seen it?"

"In the First World, an identical building also existed." Chun frowned, her tone somewhat uncertain: "Although the materials are different, whether it's this equiangular pyramid cone structure or the star-track patterns on the surface of the tower used to gather Law energy, they have over ninety percent similarity with the Elemental Obelisk Energy Gathering Tower of the First World."

Hearing this, Zhou Huai furrowed his brow even deeper.

"How is this possible?" Zhou Huai said. "According to the order of world iteration, the First World is the initial fire of all civilizations, while this relic of Ancient Egypt, in the sequence of the Heavenly Dao's great purge, is theoretically at most a remnant of the fourth or fifth world civilization. With a span of at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of years between them, how could they be so similar to the civilization of the First World? Could it be that the evolution of civilization is also a Reincarnation?"

"Who knows." Chun gave a self-deprecating chuckle. "That old fellow, the Heavenly Dao, might also like to be lazy when designing subsequent worlds, directly applying the template of the First World; or perhaps… those who think they created a new civilization are actually imitating the most ancient era in the dark."
