Chen Lin stirred his mind.
A powerful force surged into motion.
The sensation of being pulled was gone. He felt reborn, and the world became utterly different from before.
Somewhere in the unseen depths,
he felt as though heaven and earth lay within his grasp.
Yet something was still missing. He could seize them, but could not maintain control, could not dominate all things.
Chen Lin knew this was because he lacked a Dao Mark.
Without condensing a Dao Mark, he was not a true Dominator. He could only wield a Dominator's power briefly, and the difference in might was immense.
Still, it was a qualitative change.
Moreover, the change encompassed every aspect of him, rather than improving just one area.
Chen Lin could clearly sense that his body, soul, and intent had all broken past their critical points and entered a new level. His Natal Runic Inscription had also completed its transformation. All he needed was an opportunity to fuse them together.
Once the fusion succeeded, they could form a Dao Mark.
Then, after surviving the Dominator tribulation, he would become a true Dominator Expert.
But if he failed,
he would most likely die, his Dao extinguished. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, his cultivation would plummet a thousand fathoms, and he would hardly have another chance to try.
That was why the vast majority of Quasi-Dominators dared not cross this threshold lightly.
After all, a Quasi-Dominator was already a titan in their own domain. Their lifespan might not be limitless, but as long as they survived the tribulations that came every so many years, they could continue living freely.
Chen Lin pondered as he examined himself.
He now faced the same choice: whether to attempt ascension before the Ascension Trial.
Both options had advantages and disadvantages.
