Chapter 745: Chapter 715: Experiment

In his conception, the Earth Exploding Star spell will invoke powerful terrestrial gravity, forcibly attracting all earth, stones, dust, and even enemies within range, coalescing in the sky into an ever-expanding celestial body, ultimately guided by internal energy or external force to produce a cataclysmic explosion.

This is undoubtedly an extremely powerful magic, requiring profound knowledge accumulation and vast amounts of experimentation.

Before researching this magic, Duke needs to first master the other five Level 2 Magics he exchanged.

He did not rush to construct any of them, but initially analyzed the least complex of them, Water Domain Assimilation: Spring of Life.

Just by probing with Spiritual Power, the intricate, multi-dimensional model structure resembling a combination of life network and hydrology cycle diagram, made him feel an overwhelming pressure.

"The number of nodes is more than twenty times that of an average Level 1 Magic... Energy circuits involve the conversion between Life Energy and pure Water Element, range linking protocol, dynamic recovery rate adjustment..." Duke withdrew from the analysis and took a deep breath.

He estimated that even with the blessing of the water domain environment, successfully casting this spell with complexity of N39 would require a period of dedicated construction and practice. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

As for spells like Holy Incarnation: War Angel, Shadow Return to Ruins with complexity approaching N50, the difficulty increases exponentially.

"Can’t aim too high." Duke steadied himself, formulating a practical learning plan.

He plans to break down the complex models into multiple functional modules, conquering them one by one, initially seeking partial success before aiming for a full construction.

During practice, he continually pondered how to integrate these Level 2 Magics with elemental forms, Talent Magic, and existing methods to form a unique composite tactical system.

Simultaneously, he began systematically organizing and researching knowledge related to gravity and earth control, accumulating theoretical foundations for his independent development of the Earth Exploding Star.

Duke chose to start with the relatively moderate complexity and lineage of Water Domain Assimilation: Spring of Life. He came to the experimental lake beside the Light God Court, not constructing the complete model directly, but starting by understanding its core principles.

The magic model resembles a three-dimensional painting depicting the network of life within a water domain.

It’s not simply extracting Water Element for treatment but establishing a profound resonance of life frequency between the caster and the target water domain.

...

Time quietly passes in focused exploration and construction.

With his unique rigor and resilience, Duke conquered the five Level 2 Magic Models he had exchanged for, one by one.

Without sudden enlightenment, only day after day of silent practice in various environments at the Light God Court, countless cycles of model construction, and repeated tempering of Spiritual Power under extreme control.

Two months later.

By the experimental lake, Duke stands firmly.

He no longer needs lengthy guidance and precise node construction; merely a thought and the instant contact with the lake, establishes a deep resonance.

He seems to transform into the heart of the lake’s life, able to clearly perceive the vitality of every stream of the water.

When he deliberately slashes a deep wound on his arm, deep enough to see the bone, without specifically casting magic, the lake water around the wound automatically glows with a gentle emerald light, rich Life Energy threads seep in, and the wound visibly wriggles and heals, leaving only a shallow mark that soon disappears without a trace.

Duke further tested by expanding the range of resonance, within a hundred-meter radius, the lake surface gently ripples with a halo of life, and any ally in this area continuously receives gentle and effective treatment and energy recovery.

As long as he is within a sufficiently large water domain, he is an indomitable fortress and spring of life.

[Water Domain Assimilation: Spring of Life: LV1 (13/1000)]

This Water Attribute Level 2 Magic possesses a strong recovery ability, not only for physical recovery but also for Spiritual Power restoration.

If Duke enters the elementalization form of Water Element, merging into a body of water, he is essentially unkillable.

Unless faced with an existence far beyond current realm taking action.

Then comes the test of the Storm Thunder Prison, another Level 2 Wind Magic.

In the sky above the wasteland, Duke’s figure hovers.

He presses his hands in the air, Spiritual Power mobilizing the surrounding Elemental Power.

In an instant, a gale born from nothing, gathers and roars.

A grey-black storm domain over 150 meters in diameter forms suddenly, its inner airflow frantically tearing and emitting terrifying wails.

More unsettling, within the storm clouds, blinding electric snakes crazily dart about, and the low rumble of thunder is incessant.

Duke’s Heart Thought moves; a blazing white thunderbolt as thick as a bucket descends like divine wrath, striking down fiercely following his finger’s direction, instantly turning the top of a several dozen-meter-high rocky peak below to dust, electricity bursting forth.

This isn’t the end; the domain persists, more thunderbolts nourished within the clouds, he can guide the next strike at any time, or transform the thunder into an electric grid covering an area.

Storm and thunder, all turn tumultuous at his whim.

Although it’s a Wind Magic, what’s unleashed is the Thunder Power.

Duke can transform at any time into the source of the storm, hovering high, raining down thunder for widespread impact.

[Storm Thunder Prison: LV1 (21/1000)]

Next is the Level 2 Fire Magic, Solar Flame Explosion.

In the reinforced testing ground, Duke’s palm faces upwards, a flicker of flame appears.

But this flame quickly collapses inward, solidifies, its color changes from orange-red to blazing white, transforming into a captivating, platinum hue as though housing the secrets of the sun’s core.
