Chapter 554: Chapter 13: Domain Fragment

“So that’s it. No wonder it was able to destroy my defenses. Was it the power of the Domain?”

After pondering for a moment, Lynch couldn’t help but observe carefully.

An opportunity to directly touch the power of the Domain like this was rare.

A wisp of faint, almost imperceptible green energy lingered at his fingertips, carefully imprisoned within a tiny Space Barrier between his fingertips. In the depths of his gray pupils, Elemental Vision quietly activated, and the facade of the world receded like the tide, leaving only the most fundamental and pure torrent of elemental particles.

Under Elemental Vision, the seemingly gentle and harmless green energy instantly revealed its ferocious nature!

It was not simply Wood Element Life Energy, but more like an extremely subtle, structurally peculiar “Corrosive Solvent.” Its core was not a familiar arrangement of elemental particles, but rather… a destructive rule manifested!

Lynch held his breath and focused, infinitely magnifying his observation scale, delving into the microscopic level of elemental structure. He saw:

The elemental particles, initially stable and lively, that were touched by the green energy, had their most core “nuclei”—a microstructure similar to a rule anchor that maintained particle stability—struck by a specific frequency of oscillation waves contained within the green energy.

“Crack!”

As if a silent fracture resounded at the microscopic level! The nuclei structures of the struck elemental particles were instantly covered with cobweb-like black cracks representing the rules of decay! These cracks were not physical damage but “pollution” and “necrosis” at the level of the rules!

Immediately, a terrifying chain reaction ensued!

The decay of the nuclei spread like a deadly virus at the speed of light through the entire elemental particle. The particle’s vibrant luster extinguished in an instant, becoming dim and gray, its structure beginning to loosen and disintegrate.

Even more terrifyingly, this state of decay was highly contagious! Once the nucleus of a particle was destroyed and decayed, the fragments of decay rules it emitted would spread like a plague, infecting all nearby elemental particles!

In Lynch’s Elemental Vision, where the green energy passed, the microscopic world was enacting a silent plague of destruction: one elemental particle after another was “spotted” into decayed black, then themselves became new sources of infection, spreading the decay wildly.

Originally composed of stable elemental particles, the extremely sturdy spell structure (be it shield or Space Barrier), had its microscopic foundation thoroughly disintegrated and collapsed in this exponentially exploding plague of decay from the core!

This was not about energy clashing or canceling out! This was a forced decay of the fundamental units—the elemental particles—that constituted the world’s existence! It was a direct act on the rule level, a highly sophisticated destructive elemental arrangement!

“I see!”

Lynch touched his chin, quickly grasping the logical principle of this Domain setup.

“Ignoring defenses… because it doesn’t attack the energy strength of a spell but the ’foundation’ of its existence! It uses the rules of ’decay’ to destroy from the most microscopic element nucleus, unraveling any structures composed of elements.”

“Causing them to collapse and disintegrate from the inside! Is this… the true manifestation of the Domain Level Power of Decay?”

At the same time, a system prompt sounded by his ear:

“Knowledge category [Decaying Domain (Fragment)] has been loaded.”

[Decaying Domain lv0: 1/10000]

Lynch was stunned.

Could it be that the Domain inheritance is here?

This greatly exceeded Lynch’s expectations. He originally thought the Rotten Wood Elder would place the domain at the trial’s end, but does this mean he set up the inheritance of the Decaying Domain throughout the entire Trial Road?

“The way to obtain Domain inheritance… is quite ingenious indeed.”

Perhaps the Domain inheritance is packaged within the monsters encountered along the way, or something else, aiming for Trialists to acquire the inheritance step by step by defeating these monsters and passing checkpoints?

“What is this Rotten Wood Elder thinking…”

Lynch always felt the purpose of this trial wasn’t so simple. Although he couldn’t see clearly what it was yet, it was best to proceed with caution.

With these thoughts in his mind, Lynch continued on his journey.

Right after Lynch left, the Forest quickly returned to its silence, but this quiet was soon broken.

“Rustle!” First, a faint rustling sound came, and then a strange plant broke through the soil.

It was a grass, standing at a height up to one’s calf, and atop the grass bizarrely grew an eyeball.

This eyeball rotated and looked in Lynch’s direction, and then the root split open into a mouth, emitting a chilling voice: “Interesting, Time Rule, a rare cultivation path, able to reach the level of secret skill, really extraordinary. Wasn’t the last one who extended the Time Rule to this extent that old fugitive? What do you think, Karija?”

Soon after this voice fell, a figure abruptly appeared in the Forest. It was a middle-aged man wearing a gray cloak, with a structure-clear, orderly layered Hexagram pattern on the cloak’s chest.

This pattern is known as the Order Hexagram, and in the entire Wizard World, only one place uses this pattern—

The Tower of Order.

The middle-aged man named Karija gazed in the direction where Lynch left: “You’re talking about that old fellow researching Time Alchemy, right? Indeed, few could cultivate Time Law to this level, capable of manipulating time spells at will. Seeing it once leaves an unforgettable impression.”

The grass nodded in agreement: “Indeed, seeing that guy at the Tower really gave me a start. I couldn’t believe there was such a powerful existence in the world. I really don’t know how the Tower managed to catch him.”

Karija said: “I heard several Truths acted together, yet even so, it came at no small cost. Lord Gulines aged terribly from that time forward, and even now is said to still be resisting the time that was stolen, all because of what he did.”

The grass exclaimed: “Even the mighty Truths had their time stolen… if it were us, tsk, tsk, tsk… The mysterious Time Law, I really wonder where that guy is now?”

Karija replied: “I don’t know. Since he escaped from the Tower, no one has known his whereabouts. Perhaps he’s hiding in some corner, continuing to study that device of his, said to be able to distort time at will. I don’t know if such a thing can really be made, but if it’s him, maybe there’s a chance.”

“That guy called the Time Elder…”
