Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 435 - 198 Absolute Domain Force Field

Audrey was capable enough that Lin Rui had given her the Hymn Statue, so he stopped worrying about where the foolish girl would place the statue and instead turned his attention to the last two items from the gilded treasure chest.

There was a ring and a skill scroll remaining.

Lin Rui decided to examine the skill scroll first, wondering what level of skill scroll would be worthy of being found in a gilded treasure chest. Moreover, it was a gilded treasure chest blessed by a goddess.

Could it be that the Goddess of Fortune once again borrowed her best friend’s trump card dowry from the Magic Goddess?

[Super-Tier Spirit Skill: Absolute Domain Force Field (Cannot be Enhanced)]

[The Absolute Zero Domain Force Field can freeze and suppress atomic-level vibrations, thereby forming a defensive barrier. The caster can significantly expand the range of the Absolute Domain Force Field by supplying energy, creating a nearly invincible defensive space surrounding them. Within the Absolute Domain Force Field, all attacks, spirit magic, and curses from enemies on the caster will be subjected to five determinations: Physique/Willpower/Wisdom/Soul/Spiritual Strength, and any attribute lower than the Explorer’s results in failure, losing effect. Additionally, if the opponent is in the domain forcefield, an instant death effect is triggered immediately. If the instant death fails, they are frozen for three seconds, consuming 10% of Spiritual Energy Value, with a base range of 4 meters, increasing by 10% Spiritual Energy Value for every additional meter, cooldown time is fixed at 120 seconds (Note: Cooldown time cannot be reduced by any trait/equipment).]

Lin Rui’s hand trembled a bit while holding the scroll. It was confirmed; this was indeed the dowry the Goddess of Fortune had taken from her best friend.

Any skill whose cooldown time cannot be reduced by traits/equipment is a Divine Gifted Skill, like Audrey’s Death Finger. The cooldown was fixed at 12 hours when she acquired it at Rare Level. However, Lin Rui’s Absolute Domain Force Field is fixed at 120 seconds.

But even with such a short cooldown, Lin Rui couldn’t possibly use it frequently.

This skill was entirely unreasonable, directly consuming 10% of the Spiritual Energy Value. Extending the range by 1 meter added an extra 10%. Meaning Lin Rui setting a 6-meter Absolute Domain Force Field would directly consume 30% of the Spiritual Energy Value.

The good news is that the consumption can be reduced by traits, allowing extensive traits and equipment support to lower the consumption continuously, so it’s conceivable to set up an Absolute Domain Force Field of tens or even hundreds of meters.

The bad news was... none of Lin Rui’s traits or equipment had a reduction for Spiritual Technique Consumption effect.

Yes, no trait or equipment had any even single effect to reduce Spiritual Technique Consumption!

There had been traits that reduced Spiritual Technique Consumption, but the problem was he never chose them.

His combat build was entirely focused on hitting like a brick. As long as his Spiritual Energy Value was abundant, that would effectively lower the Spiritual Technique Consumption. As long as his recovery was rapid, it was as if there was no Spiritual Technique Consumption.

So previously, he never cared about the amount of Spiritual Technique Consumption while blasting away.

Until today, encountering this skill consuming Spiritual Energy Value by percentage, he was utterly blindsided.

This skill was outright unreasonable, why should it form a domain based on percentages?

Of course, even more unreasonable was its powerful effect.

Any attribute - Physique/Willpower/Wisdom/Soul/Spiritual Strength - lower than his, results in all methods invalidated, and within the domain, an instant death effect is triggered.

Any Warrior seeing him would call him daddy in tears, wouldn’t they?

The first four conditions were one thing, but Lin Rui couldn’t imagine any Warrior having higher Spiritual Strength than him.

Even if you bring forth a Tier Six, Seven, or even Eight Warrior, their Spiritual Strength can’t be higher than a Mage’s.

And as long as their Spiritual Strength wasn’t higher than Lin Rui’s, entering the domain would trigger an instant death effect unless they had a trait to resist instant death. Like Su Xi’s [Fearless Brave], which forcibly locks health for 3 seconds.

Even without instant death, their attacks would have no effect on Lin Rui within the domain, and they would be frozen, unable to move before the 3-second Absolute Domain Force Field dissipates.

Hmm... Apart from a name that evoked the beauty beneath a maiden’s skirt, everything else was a chilling coldness.

Lin Rui couldn’t imagine how an Assassin would face his scrutinizing gaze if they missed their mark, even if they were a Divine Spirit Level Assassin, if they weren’t Tier Two or Three above him, they’d be shaking in their boots.

It seems there are different strengths even among Divine Spirits.

Lin Rui’s Mythical Trait was powerful due to its extraordinarily high Luck Value, which provided a high probability of evading the opponent’s first attack. And after the opponent misses, they’d be at his mercy. Of course, except for a Mage. To deal with Mages, Lin Rui still had to blink next to them.

Lin Rui instantly used the skill. It felt as if his path to defense was advancing so rapidly that he couldn’t stop.

After using the skill scroll, the level was lv1.

Lin Rui wasted no time, pouring all his Universal Experience into it.

He had 60,000 points of Universal Experience, all gained from epic victories in the campaigns. Each campaign-level epic victory awarded 30,000 points of Universal Experience, which he had never used before.

After instantly diving into this, the level of this super-tier skill was elevated to lv4. The base range expanded from four meters to 12 meters, and Spiritual Energy Value consumption decreased from 10% to 8.4%, and every 1.5 meters of domain range now cost 8.4% of Spiritual Energy Value.

As for advancing to the next level, it was still early, needing more than 100,000 points of experience.
