[Destruction Domain: Great Drought]

[Great Drought: Wherever it goes, drought follows. Upon death, the drought’s range becomes fixed and expands.]

The information Wang Tao gleaned at a glance wasn’t extensive, but it was incredibly rich in detail.

First off, the HP. The HP cap of this Magma Monster was 10 million! Ten times higher than the current general cap of 1 million HP!

Currently, the maximum HP of most Sixth-tier creatures is 1 million, with the exception of Lightning. Lightning’s HP exceeds 1 million due to its Awakening Ability permanently boosting HP, making it a unique case.

Under normal circumstances, the HP cap for Sixth-tier beings is 1 million. Among the conditions Wang Tao needs to ascend to the Seventh Tier, one is "Blood Volume Increase to Max Level," which refers to achieving 1 million HP.

But the 10 million HP of this Magma Monster is clearly something only achievable post-Seventh Tier. Although it’s unclear whether this starting point marks the lower bound or the upper cap of Seventh Tier, even if it’s a cap, it’s still terrifying enough.

However, Wang Tao was curious why the Magma Monster’s HP wasn’t full but rather short by a few hundred points...

Then there’s the level—this Magma Monster is Seventh-tier Destruction Level!

After the last Corrosive Rain that spurred further evolution among zombie populations, Wang Tao knew it was only a matter of time before Seventh Order Creatures had to be faced. But he hadn’t anticipated that the second Seventh-tier creature he encountered would be Destruction Level! Moreover, this wasn’t like the "Sixth-Rank Destruction Level (Damaged)" he had encountered previously; it was genuinely Seventh Rank Destruction Level!

Apart from humans, based on current knowledge, the tier classification for other creatures can be divided into Ordinary, Elite, Lord, Disaster, and Destruction levels.

In cases where humans and Magma Monsters are of the same tier, the combat power of Ability Users corresponds to Elite level, while the combat power of Awakeners corresponds to Lord level.

Disaster-level entities of the same tier already exceed the upper limit of human individual strength by a significant margin. A Sixth-tier Awakener might be able to defeat a Sixth-tier Lord one-on-one, but hunting a Sixth-tier Disaster-level creature is a different story—it requires rallying a group of Sixth-tier Awakeners for a collective assault. Of course, exceptions like Wang Tao, Lightning, or Golden Eagle—those with exceptionally potent Awakening Abilities—exist; they defy conventional benchmarks.

Now, moving on to Destruction Level, which is a tier higher than Disaster Level! Especially since this is a Seventh-tier Destruction Level creature, its power is far beyond that of a Sixth-tier Disaster Level entity.

Wang Tao believed that even if he faced 100 Sixth-tier Disaster-level creatures simultaneously, he wouldn’t die instantly. But against this single Seventh-tier Destruction Level monster, he found himself killed almost effortlessly before he even realized what had happened.

At the moment of his demise, Wang Tao caught sight of the Magma Monster’s appearance and sensed its aura—a presence so thoroughly despair-inducing that it felt like an entirely different realm from Disaster Level.

It was as if, "Once a Destruction Level entity appears, the world is destined to be destroyed..."

And as it turns out... this might actually be the case! Disaster-level creatures cause an actual disaster upon emergence—living up to their name. Meanwhile, Destruction Level creatures seem capable of causing genuine annihilation!

Moving down further—next is the attribute of Law Power.

Ascending to Seventh Tier requires one to gather Basic Law Power. Back then, Wang Tao had surmised that the Seventh Tier would certainly be connected to Laws, and sure enough, upon ascending, Mana disappeared, Awakening Energy vanished, but a new attribute called Law Power emerged!

It’s unclear how many Laws exist in the world for now, but this Magma Monster’s Law Power is "Fire (Basic)," and this Law Power is evidently linked to its Domain.

The transition from Third Tier to Fourth Tier is challenging because Awakening is required.

Similarly, ascending from Sixth Tier to Seventh Tier is exceptionally hard because it demands comprehension of the Law Domain.

Moreover, based on prior hints Wang Tao received, if one fails to grasp the Law Domain during the process of ascending to Seventh Tier, they’ll die instantly! This implies that an individual may only ever have one chance in their life to ascend to Seventh Tier! This, in itself, makes ascending Seventh Tier far more difficult than ascending Fourth Tier!

The Magma Monster’s Basic Law Power is capped at 100 points. Wang Tao speculated that these 100 points were likely used to activate Domains. The sudden fatal attack he suffered earlier was presumably caused by the Domain, but curiously, the Magma Monster’s Law Power remained fully intact at 100 points... Wang Tao was puzzled—could it be possible that the Magma Monster uses its Domain without consuming any Law Power? That would be absurd, wouldn’t it?

Finally, the most critical aspect—the Domain this Magma Monster wields.

The hints Wang Tao previously received stated that ascending to Seventh Tier requires comprehending the "Law Domain." However, the Domain wielded by this Magma Monster is "Destruction Domain," which is entirely different.

Considering the previous progressions of "Awakening" and "Cataclysmic Awakening," this "Destruction Domain" appears to be unique to Destruction-class creatures, whereas humans comprehend the "Law Domain."

Setting aside the difference between these two types of Domains for now, looking only at the Magma Monster’s Domain, Wang Tao finally understood why, even though December had arrived, temperatures were still hovering at fifty-to-sixty degrees Celsius—and why temperatures were rising the deeper underground one went: it was all because the Magma Monster’s Destruction Domain was [Great Drought], and it resided below ground!

Wherever it resides, drought spreads!

Furthermore, upon its death, the drought doesn’t vanish; instead, it gets locked at its death site and continues to expand!

This was the first time Wang Tao had encountered such a conceptual Ability—it was unimaginably terrifying!

For Disaster-level creatures, their Cataclysmic Awakening remains even after death, but the effects are diminished—both in terms of scale and potency. Yet this Destruction-class creature’s post-mortem Destruction Domain seemed neither reduced in effect nor range; on the contrary, its range expanded!
