Just as the three Dragon claws were about to strike Shifeng, images appeared in Shifeng's mind. These images were the method to activate Blade Domain.
Immediately, an invisible ripple spread out from the Abyssal Blade in Shifeng's hand, covering a 500-yard radius in the blink of an eye.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
As the ripple spread out, the cavern shook violently, and a frightening shockwave echoed throughout the cavern. Even a human-sized boulder in the distance was blown out of the cavern and into the bottomless abyss.
Meanwhile, the three Infant Black Dragons, who had caused this scene, stared at the Swordsman, who should've been on his last breath, with wide, incredulous eyes.
So, this is a Tier 4 Peak Legacy Domain?
Shifeng was astonished as he looked at the three Dragon claws, which were less than one yard away from him.
At this moment, the three dragon claws were blocked in midair by a magic sword that was three to four meters long. It was like an invisible wall, and the three magic swords formed a triangle around him, firmly blocking the dragon claws.
System: Blade Domain has been successfully activated. Skill Completion Rate: 65%. You have not met the learning condition. You may use Blade Domain again in 30 seconds.
“65%！ It seems I made the right bet! Shifeng breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw the system notification.
He wasn't confident in learning a Tier 4 Skill or Spell. After all, he had never truly learned a Tier 4 Skill or Spell, much less a Peak or Apex Tier 4 Legacy Skill or Spell. Just being able to use a Tier 4 Skill or Spell was already a stroke of luck.
When he tried to learn an Advanced Tier 4 Legacy Skill or Spell in the past, he had spent a full ten minutes just to activate it. Now, even though he was a Domain Realm expert, he wasn't confident that he could learn a Peak or Peak Tier 4 Legacy Skill or Spell within an hour.
If he wanted to solve his current problem, he couldn't rely on pure attack, speed, or defensive Skills or Spells. The only way to solve this problem was to learn a Domain Skill or Spell.
Domain Skills and Spells were both offensive and defensive Skills. Moreover, they were AOE Skills.
Aside from this, there was another reason he could rely on to learn Blade Domain, which was the most difficult Skill to learn, and that was his Magic Talent. This was also the most important factor he could rely on when using a Domain Skill or Spell.
Previously, his Magic Talent had been average, and he hadn't even dared to dream about controlling Mana. However, after he obtained the Faux Saint Devourer's Soul Imprint, his Magic Talent had improved his Mana and elemental control to an unimaginable level.
This was why he had chosen to learn the most difficult Skill to learn.
Now, it would seem that he had made the right choice.
Not only had Shi Feng achieved a 65% Completion Rate on his first use of a Skill, but he also had plenty of room for improvement within a short time. After all, Skills and Spells were the fastest to learn in the early stages. As time passed, unless he gained some inspiration or his personal combat standards improved significantly, the progress of a Skill or Spell would slow down.
Based on his past experiences, if he could reach a Completion Rate of 65% on his first try, he would have no problems reaching a Completion Rate of 80% or above if he continued using the Skill for an hour. As for how much he could reach, that would depend entirely on his comprehension ability.
"Human, don't get too cocky. Although a Tier 4 Mana Domain is powerful, without a Tier 4 body, you won't be able to display its true power!" the leading Infant Black Dragon sneered when it saw the Shifeng breathing a sigh of relief.
After saying so, the Infant Black Dragons swung their tails, shattering the space around them. The Magic Sword, which had been able to block the Infant Black Dragons' claws, shattered instantly.
When the other two Infant Black Dragons saw this scene, they mimicked the Infant Black Dragon's action and attacked with their tails, forcing the Shifeng to desperately reconstruct the Magic Swords to defend himself.
For a time, the Magic Swords shattered and reconstructed one after another, preventing the Shifeng from doing anything else. Meanwhile, every time the Magic Swords were reconstructed, the Shifeng's Mana would weaken by a fraction. In less than 20 seconds, the Shifeng's Mana had visibly weakened by over 10%. It was obvious that the Shifeng wouldn't last more than four minutes before he ran out of Mana and could no longer maintain Blade Domain.
"Die, human! As long as we, the Origin Race, are here, we will not let the ancient Legacy fall into the hands of humans like you! "the leading Infant Black Dragon bellowed as it glared at the pale Shifeng.
In the face of the Infant Black Dragons' furious roars and frenzied attacks, Shifeng could feel his Mana starting to run out.
Although he had only lost a little over 10% of his Mana, the more Mana he had, the easier it would be to reconstruct the Magic Swords. As his Mana continued to decrease, the difficulty of reconstructing the Magic Swords would also increase. If his Mana fell below 30%, he might not even be able to maintain his Tier 4 Mana Domain.
"Die!"
When the Infant Black Dragon saw that Shifeng had lost over 20% of his Mana, it abruptly used its tail to execute the Tier 3 Dragon Spell, Darkness Strike.
When the Infant Black Dragon's Strength was boosted, it could rival an Intermediate Mythic monster's attack. It wasn't something the Magic Swords could defend against.
"You won't be able to kill me that easily!"
Seeing that 30 seconds had passed, Shifeng activated Blade Domain once more.
This time, Shifeng was extremely careful when using Blade Domain. In fact, he didn't even dare to use too much Mana to draw the magic array. Instead, he used the minimum amount of Mana to form the magic array on the Magic Swords.
Boom!
For a time, stone fragments scattered, and a large crater appeared where Shifeng stood. However, in the next second, the Infant Black Dragons revealed an incomparably confused expression.
Shi Feng had blocked the Magic Swords again!
"How did he improve so quickly?" The Infant Black Dragons stared at Xiang Shifeng in confusion as they watched the Magic Swords solidify even more.
System: Blade Domain has been successfully activated. Skill Completion Rate 75%. You have not met the learning condition. You may use Blade Domain again in 30 seconds.
What the Infant Black Dragons didn't know was that while they continuously weakened Shi Feng's Mana and forced him to reconstruct the Magic Swords, Shi Feng had also become increasingly familiar with the Magic Swords' composition. As a result, Shi Feng's usage of Mana had also become more precise. As a result, Shi Feng's usage of Mana had decreased significantly. In fact, he had even managed to increase his Skill and Spell Completion Rates by 10%, significantly improving Blade Domain's effectiveness.
So, that's how it is. Tier 4 Skills and Spells are no longer purely based on a player's technique. Instead, they are a fusion of one's Mana control and technique. It's no wonder why I took so long to learn Tier 4 Legacy Skills in the past. Realization dawned on Shifeng when he saw the massive improvement to Blade Domain.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng secretly tried to use a smaller amount of Mana to form the Magic Swords, thereby improving his control over the flow of Mana.
As time passed, Shifeng's Blade Domain Completion Rate increased with each attempt.
77% … 79% … 81% …
As Blade Domain grew stronger, the three Infant Black Dragons grew increasingly frustrated. Initially, they had been suppressing Shifeng, but gradually, they became evenly matched. Now, Shifeng actually had the upper hand, relying on the six Magic Swords to reduce the number of attacks the three Infant Black Dragons could land on Shifeng.
Roughly 50 minutes later …
System: Blade Domain has been successfully activated. Skill Completion Rate 85%. You have successfully learned the Skill. Do you wish to use this Skill as the core of your Mana Body to promote yourself to a Tier 4 Blade Saint?
"Promote!"
