Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 455 The First Fifth-Order Domain, Abyss Echo Domain!

Chen Qi instantly perked up.

Being able to master a domain means that his strength will be greatly enhanced, and he will step into a whole new level.

Moreover, this also shows that the Rift Workshop officially possesses the ability to forge Rift weapons.

The efficiency of the master of books far exceeded his imagination.

Let the phytoncides sleep for a while... Chen Qi tidied his clothes.

"Let's go! Safe!"

Chen Qi was extremely excited and headed towards the Rift Workshop at the very center of the island.

……

……

Chen Qi and An walked up the stairs to the island's underground. Looking at what lay before them, they had used a great deal of resources and exerted all their efforts to invite the Saint of the Tower of Books to create a high-level Rift Workshop.

The Crack Workshop has completely changed.

Its volume has increased fourfold, and it is no longer a simple anti-magic crystal on the wall.

Behind the translucent crystal, numerous gears covered with runes can be seen.

The gears kept turning, making a muffled sound, and the entire space was instantly shrouded in absolute darkness.

With the rune gears and the anti-magic crystal, the walls of the Rift Workshop are like a giant black hole, instantly absorbing any spiritual energy that touches them.

Chen Qi reached out to touch it, and a strong sense of coldness washed over him.

The core of Rift Workshop lies in its absolute defensive capabilities.

Even the release of a fourth-tier superhuman, when it hits the wall, can only create a small ripple.

Attacks below the fourth level of liberation couldn't even create a ripple on the wall.

In a corner of the Rift Workshop, a large number of complex machines were piled together.

Bang, bang, bang!

Behind the mechanic Bree, two mechanical hands danced, constantly manufacturing the special parts needed for the unique building, the 'Inspiration Library'.

Chen Qi explored the spiritual power within Bu Li.

Now, with the help of Palu's expedition fleet, Brie has also digested the fourth-tier job card, advanced to the fourth-tier Grand Mechanic, and gained powerful high-level mechanical affinity.

Chen Qi asked excitedly:
"Bri, how are you doing over there?"

When Buli saw Chen Qi, he took a deep breath, his eyes filled with respect.

If it weren't for Chen Qi, their team wouldn't have had a single fifth-tier transcendent being with a hammer!
"Everything is fine, the Saint of Books is too powerful!"
I recently planned to build a steam-powered mech, but unfortunately, I lack the ability to pilot one.

Brie looked toward the saint of books to one side.

The sage of books lay sprawled among a sea of ​​documents, his eyes closed in excitement.

Beside him, Water Sprite Number Seven, wielding the Whip of Pain, was keeping time with a pocket watch.

She can rest for two more hours!
In the beginning, the Sage of Books liked to pretend to work and then secretly slack off.

However, her plot was quickly and ruthlessly exposed by the Ice Witch!

The Ice Witch established an extremely strict set of rules.

Subsequently, under the lashing of Water Sprite No. 7, the Saint of Books has become a tool among tools.

His diligence far exceeds expectations!

Chen Qi said with a smile:

"Bri, if you're building a mech and need a pilot, you can contact Water Sprite Number Three."

The water sprite was piloting the mecha… A hint of surprise flashed in Brie’s eyes.

Chen Qi didn't answer much, but went straight to the question he cared about most:
"Bri, where is the Abyss Flame?"

A smirk appeared on Brie's lips as he walked to the wall and pulled down the lever.

Instantly, the gears of the entire Rift Workshop began to spin wildly!
Amidst a thunderous roar, a transparent black cube slowly descended from the ceiling and hovered in the air.

This is a 'Sealed Cube' made by the Rift Workshop, specifically designed for dangerous and forbidden creations.

Inside the pitch-black cube, a flame was burning fiercely, constantly impacting the cube.

Brie took a step back:
"We cannot touch it; the moment we do, it will cause immense psychological harm."

Is that so? Chen Qi lit the daytime lantern, slowly extended his hand through the translucent cube, then opened his hand and grasped the flame of the abyss—

Instantly, an intense, stinging pain spread throughout his body.

His entire body was instantly engulfed in a massive burst of phosphorescent flames, as if gasoline had been ignited.

Before Chen Qi's eyes, an unprecedented notification suddenly appeared.

You are coming into contact with the flames of the abyss.

Your mind has been severely polluted!

You are being infected by the Abyss Aberration!

This immense abyssal power directly corrupted Chen Qi's spirit.

Fortunately, Chen Qi's own talent, combined with the light of the lantern during the day, was enough to resist this pollution.

Chen Qi's gaze turned cold.

Unlike ordinary weapons, this is a weapon specifically designed for rifts.

Like the Blade of Rift, it was directly rooted within his body.

However, more effort is needed to subdue it.

Within this crack workshop, it must exert its full strength.

Without hesitation, Chen Qi unleashed his immense spiritual power, suppressing the small flame in the abyss.

Under the pressure of spiritual power, the abyssal flames rapidly expanded, covering the entire Rift Workshop!
Rumble!
If it weren't for the special walls of the Rift Workshop, the power of the Abyss Flames would have been enough to burn the entire island and the surrounding sea.

"Wow!"

"This is the weapon of a fifth-tier saint..."

An and Buli, standing behind Chen Qi, were astonished, their bodies drenched in sweat.

Fortunately, there are quite a few weapons in the Rift Workshop that can withstand attacks.

At that moment, Aslina, who was sleeping on the documents, was also awakened by the flames.

"Damn it! Which bastard is disturbing this holy sage's sleep?!"
"Your mom doesn't want it anymore?"

Sleep deprived, Aslina had completely lost the elegance of the Book Saint. She spewed profanities, suddenly sprang up, and looked at the person in the center.

Today, no one can stop her rage!
It's that little black-haired guy again!
"you!!"

Aslina felt her blood rush to her head.

Keep in mind that she only slept for a total of two hours!

Two hours!
She hadn't settled accounts with those two scoundrels, Xiao Hei Mao and An, for kidnapping her!
She suddenly rolled up her sleeves.

Perfect timing! While the Ice Witch is away, let's teach that little black-haired girl a lesson.

However, in the next instant, from within the black flames, a beast-like pair of eyes looked at her.

The essence of the Abyss Flame is an Abyss weapon that amplifies the entire body's stats. Anyone who comes into contact with this power will inevitably be affected by the power of the Abyss.

Simply put, it means becoming a berserker.

That beast-like gaze seemed to want to devour the saint of books!
The saint of books adjusted her round-framed glasses.

Creating a rift weapon requires a large amount of spiritual power, and coupled with the subtle effects of the Black Blood Poison, the Book Saint is currently unable to unleash his true strength.

The Sage of Books seemed to shrink a size, and silently said:

"Black Hunter, you shouldn't have disturbed my sleep."

"However, I'll forgive you this time."

However, Chen Qi, surrounded by raging flames, seemed completely unable to hear her voice.

Just then, Water Sprite No. 7 beside him quietly said:
"Wakuwaku (Saint of Books! Even arguing counts as break time!)"

"you……"

Aslina, the Saint of Books, chose to retreat.

In a flash, she moved Ann, Brie, and Water Sprite No. 7 to the entrance of the Rift Workshop.

"Teacher, what does this mean?" An asked, looking puzzled.

At this moment, the saint of books raised his head high:

"If you don't want to die, you'd better leave quickly. The first activation of the fifth-tier domain is an indiscriminate attack."

Neither Ann nor Brie could withstand the morning's awakening.

At this moment, only she could withstand Chen Qi's violence!

"gone."

"Don't disturb him."

Without hesitation, the Sage of Books took the important items and led everyone away from the Rift Workshop.

At this moment, only the walls of the Crack Workshop could withstand this force.

Then, she abruptly closed the entrance to the Crack Workshop's basement.

An's eyes widened.

The moment the entrance closed, she saw Chen Qi amidst the abyssal flames, his tentacles suddenly expanding several times over, the endless flames completely engulfing everything.

……

……

Boom! Boom!
Two full days have passed, and the Rift Workshop continues to produce materials, with a constant, deafening roar!
With a thunderous roar, the raging fire finally came to an end.

[You have mastered the fifth-tier domain, "Echoes of the Abyss."]

Chen Qi's mind jolted slightly, and the raging flames on his body slowly dissipated.

"Cool!"

Chen Qi stretched his muscles and bones, and suddenly his body made a cracking sound as his bones broke.

[You have been baptized by the fires of the abyss. Your constitution has increased by 30 points, your strength by 30 points, and your agility by 30 points.]

After absorbing the Abyss Flame, his own stats also increased rapidly.

Chen Qi opened his eyes wide and stared straight ahead.

The walls of the entire Crack Workshop were completely broken and riddled with huge cracks.

When he first activated the Abyss Echoes, his will was unable to overcome the power of the abyss, and he became like a crazed monster.

Destruction, attack—

Fortunately, his talents as a third-tier profession of Lightkeeper and a fourth-tier profession of Deep Sea Monster both managed to suppress this uncontrollable madness in time.

Chen Qi is now confident that he can maintain a certain level of rationality after opening the domain.

"call……"

Chen Qi exhaled a breath of black smoke to examine the specific effects of the Abyss Echo.

Echoes from the Abyss:
Nature and form: blade, illusion, shadow
Description: The flames of the abyss gently touched the earth and burst into flames.

Activation condition: Suffering a sufficiently high level of mental contamination.

Chen Qi looked at him and described it.

Almost all fifth-order domains have strict activation conditions.

For example, Blood Lion's [War of the Meat Grinder] relies on the heat of the battlefield, the Invisible Hand's [Haye's Invisible Hand] requires the user to disappear from everyone's sight, and the Library of the Book Saint requires a large number of high-level books.

The conditions for activating Echoes of the Abyss are not difficult.

The simplest way is to directly take the Flower Witch's potion.

In addition, there are countless forbidden weapons that can lower mental strength in the current ocean of rift tides.

It can be said that Chenqi is fully capable of expanding into this field at any time.

Chen Qi then checked its specific effects.

[Domain Expansion: When the domain expands, a massive abyssal rift, 'Eye of the Abyss,' will tear open beneath your feet, with you at its core.]

Within the abyss, one obtains the 'Domain Rule': all beings are continuously subjected to unstoppable mental pollution, and those covered by the 'Abyssal Fire' gain a 500% increase in strength, constitution, and agility, and a 200% increase in spiritual energy.

Furthermore, all items and skills capable of causing 'mental pollution' will receive a 100% bonus.

Morning start to check its core effects.

Fifth-order domains all possess extremely strong rules.

Only when different domains collide can their effects be blocked.

The domain rules of Abyss Echoes are not very strong.

There are two points. First, there is the effect of mental pollution.

Mental pollution is a basic function that can interfere with the enemy.

The second effect is a core ability that enhances the effects of mental pollution items and skills!

The Ember Touch, Crimson Appearance, and Flesh-Severing Bone effects of Dawn's Awakening can all receive the domain bonus from Abyss Echoes.

In addition, there is the Great Sage-level potion made by Fen, which was also tailor-made for Chen Qi and has extremely strong negative effects!
Within the domain, both his lingering touch and crimson form will receive a 100% enhancement.

It can be said that within this domain, his stats will grow rapidly, reaching a terrifying level!

In addition, the domain itself also provides extremely powerful stat boosts.

In this field, he is an invincible panel monster!
At this point, his monster-based style can be considered complete.

Chen Qi took a deep breath; he could feel his blood boiling, becoming heavy and resilient.

Chen Qi then checked the remaining effects within the Abyss Echoes domain.

[Echo: Once the domain is deployed, an echo will occur within the domain every minute, dealing massive mental damage to all enemies within the domain.]

All those who suffer from Echoing Spirit damage will temporarily gain a 50% power boost.

If the mental pollution you suffer reaches a certain level, you can unconditionally activate a 'Liberation' that is already activated within the domain (this Liberation must be one of the three natures: Blade, Shadow, or Illusion).

Chen Qi looked at its effects.

This is equivalent to a bonus effect of the Abyss Echoes domain.

His strongest release right now is undoubtedly the Crimson Form of the Blade Phase.

With this skill, he can activate two consecutive releases to further enhance himself!

The crimson appearance itself can increase terrifying attribute bonuses.

The ultimate panel monster!
"call……"

Chen Qi took a slow, deep breath, wondering how high his attributes would reach in actual combat, within the Abyss Echo Domain.

"Not bad."

Chen Qi clapped his hands.

Now, he can be said to have his own trump card.

Even on the high seas, if he senses that other fifth-tier transcendents are about to activate their domains, he doesn't need to flee into the deep sea. Instead, he can choose to fight them head-on!
Chen Qi withdrew all his spiritual power and strode towards the entrance.

Just then, the entrance slowly opened.

The Ice Witch slowly floated down from the entrance and looked towards Chen Qi.

At this moment, the Ice Witch was wearing a light blue witch's dress, with her long white hair cascading down.

She rested her smooth, fair chin on her hand, a half-smile on her face, her eyes holding a hint of intellect as she looked at Chen Qi.

"You've gotten stronger again..." The Ice Witch smiled slightly.

"Congratulations, Little Black Hair, you have mastered the fifth-order domain."

Chen Qi couldn't help but smile:
"Long time no see. Has anything else happened on the high seas?"

He had not seen the Ice Witch in the past two weeks.

These people didn't see the Ice Witch, and it seemed like the Ice Witch had become even more beautiful... Chen Qi was stunned for a moment.

The Ice Witch thought for a moment and said:

"Coincidentally, I received two messages while you were practicing the fifth-order domain."

The Ice Witch took out a teapot and cup from her wormhole backpack and poured herself a cup of soothing, extraordinary black tea.

She handed Chen Qi a cup of black tea and said softly:

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news."
