Chapter 678 The Troublesome Merust
"Lingyue Black Wave Pool? Is that the name of your domain?"
"Domain? Oh, right! That's what you call it here, that's right! This is my domain. You're the first human to witness this move of mine, feel honored..."
"Our side? Aren't you from this world?"
"A dying human doesn't need to know so much..."
Seeing that Merust refused to continue the conversation, Lin Tian simply buried his doubts in his heart, intending to achieve victory first before continuing his investigation.
The next step is to figure out how to deal with Merust's domain.
Speaking of which, he has fought so many enemies, but he doesn't have much experience dealing with domain techniques. The only two times he had encountered them were in the Golden Desert and the Stormy Sea.
The barrier layer in the Storm Sea is quite special. Lin Tian couldn't be sure if it was a domain. Therefore, Lin Tian recalled the time in the Golden Nether Desert, when he fought against the God of Death.
The God of Death's domain technique is called the World of Deathly Silence. Due to his limited strength at the time, the World of Deathly Silence he mastered was not as powerful as it was in life, and could only be used as a clock to stop time.
But don't think that this is not powerful. On the contrary, time stop is an extremely powerful ability, which can be called a divine skill whether used for offense or defense.
Lin Tian can also use this ability through his transformation technique, and the effect is quite good, but it is still far less powerful than when used by the God of Death.
This is enough to demonstrate the terror of the realm!
Of course, Merust's Spirit Moon Black Wave Pool is no match for the Death God's Dead World. After all, Lin Tian at that time was unable to defeat the Death God on his own, but instead used a cheat code to summon the Great Sage to defeat him.
But now it's a one-on-one fight, so Lin Tian will naturally have to rely on his own abilities.
However, the problem lies here: Lin Tian himself is not a hero-level being, but rather he forcibly raised himself to this level by using the Forbidden Word Technique. Although he can suppress his opponent, that's all he can do.
This guy, with his domain, can easily hold his own against Lin Tian. It's simply impossible for Lin Tian to launch a quick and powerful attack to kill him.
However, if the situation drags on, it will become unfavorable for Lin Tian. The forbidden word technique in the game has a limited duration, but the forbidden word technique that Lin Tian currently possesses has no time limit.
However, this does not mean that Lin Tian can maintain this state indefinitely, because maintaining this state will continuously consume physical strength and put a burden on the body.
In just this short time, Lin Tian already felt some pain in his body. Although the pain was not obvious at the moment, it would only increase as the battle progressed, accompanied by the depletion of his physical strength. In the end, he would be on the ground before his opponent even had to lift a finger.
But what if the forbidden spell is lifted? The situation will only get worse, since the effects of this domain greatly limit the spellcaster's combat power.
The moon in the sky is constantly drawing magical power from the land. When the enforcers arrive here, it's like ducks that can't swim entering water. For the spellcasters, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Not to mention that after the forbidden spell is lifted, his strength will drop another level, and he definitely won't be able to keep up with the current combat intensity. He will only get beaten up even more severely.
As for the Heavenly King of Growth, not to mention that transforming into him would consume all his divine power and magical power, judging from the current situation, even if he were to become the Heavenly King of Growth, his strength would not be much stronger than his form with the Forbidden Word Technique.
However, due to the presence of the moon, the duration of the Growth King's buff will be shorter than usual, and it will also cause exhaustion after use. In comparison, the Forbidden Word Method is more cost-effective.
At least that's the case until we actually find the opponent's weakness...
After saying so many discouraging things, is Lin Tian really going to give up?
Of course not, after all, this is a rare opportunity for him to undergo a hero's trial, how could he give it up so easily?
However, maintaining the current situation will certainly not break the deadlock, so Lin Tian must take further action.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian opened the system panel, since the Forbidden Word Law hadn't blocked this.
For Lin Tian, the fastest and most direct way to improve his strength is to increase his cultivation level, but he can't increase that level now, so he can only settle for the next best thing: increasing his skill level.
The skill that needs to be improved is naturally the Forbidden Word spell, since he can't use other spells in his current situation.
The upgrade of the Forbidden Word Technique is quite special. Unlike other skills, it cannot be upgraded simply by consuming Spirit Points. Its upgrade depends on the cultivation level of the Body Stage.
Speaking of this, we must mention Lin Tian's current physical cultivation status:
[Physical Practice:]
Disaster severity: Wind disaster (45%) Fire disaster (23%) Lightning disaster (51%)
Overall forging value: 39.6%
当前效果:生命力加成39.6%、体力加成39.6%、体力恢复加成39.6%、防御力加成39.6%、攻击力加成39.6%、暴击率加成39.6%、暴击伤害加成39.6%、法力加成39.6%、异常状态削减39.6%、四灾耐性加成39.6%
Special effects: [Strengthened internal organs] [Abundant Qi] [Reduces suffering] [Accumulated anger] [Rough skin and flesh]
Note: Proficient in physical cultivation, preserving life and returning to one's original nature, with strong limbs, one can travel freely.
Lin Tian never neglected his physical training. He usually practiced wind-based exercises, since wind is everywhere and one can cultivate anytime, anywhere.
The fire was the disaster that Lin Tian had the least experience in training and accumulating knowledge from, mainly because Lin Tian was too busy. After all, time is limited, and Lin Tian couldn't handle all three at the same time.
The results of the lightning disaster were an accident. Like the fire, Lin Tian rarely practiced lightning disaster on a regular basis and hardly ever did so.
The reason his lightning calamity level was so high was entirely due to passively taking hits—yes, taking hits...
As everyone knows, he can only unlock the Four Rivers Divine Dragons by taking on challenges, and the dragons in the secret realm dungeons are much stronger, so he must take on multiple challenges to succeed.
Since each dragon possesses abilities primarily related to lightning, Lin Tian was frequently struck by lightning during the death training. Each strike left him feeling numb and tingly.
However, precisely because of this, he also made much progress in dealing with lightning disasters. Of course, this alone is not enough to make him surpass the wind disaster.
The reason he was able to reach 51% progress is thanks to an old friend of his, namely Storm Sea. That battle was filled with lightning and thunder, with lightning striking constantly. Although it was extremely difficult, it greatly increased the progress of the lightning disaster, bringing it to 51%, which is the current highest level.
