Meanwhile, Frozen Wasteland

Grim was a kilometer away from the source, absorbing the icy aura. Suddenly, the absorption stopped, and he opened his eyes.

"Success. It took me an entire year, but my mastery of the 'ice' element has improved to the advanced level."

'Ice Domain'

Soon, the domain extended across 1.5 kilometers(0.9 miles). However, he lacked related offensive skills, and he had yet to reach the 'master' level-making him unable to ponder the true strength of the element.

Sigh!

"I wished the system had some 'ice' related offensive skills."

He even checked the system shop. However, he couldn't find any.

"It can't be helped. I'll imprint the element into the third crystal instead."

He commenced the imprinting process and was done after a couple of hours.

He examined the crystal again, and it looked even more elegant. The impurities within the crystals had reduced, causing the dark and blue hue to brighten even more.

"My affinity with the 'ice' element has improved further, but what a shame."

[Final Reincarnation]

"I've broken through the peak-dominion realm?"

The information caught him off guard. So he examined his body and discovered his Qi had increased.

He mumbled. "I was so engrossed in the training. I didn't even notice the change."

"However, the amount of skills is giving me a headache."

Grim inquired. "System, is there a way to merge unrelated skills?"

The system replied. "You'll get your answer at the system level four."

"So there is a way."

He had decided to upgrade the system to the next level for the sake of less cluttered status, broken abilities would be a plus.

***

Grim pondered. "I should look into ways for the next breakthrough now that I have reached the peak-dominion realm. As for the mastery of the 'ice' element, I can try it later."

"However, it's easier said than done. The giant bird was the only one above the dominion realm. However, it's dead now. I can't believe I have to regret killing that thing."

"Well, no point in regretting now. I'll try to recall the clues instead."

He recalled his encounter with the beast.

He pondered. "Hmm! What was something unique about the beast?"

A sudden realization dawned on him.

"It has to be dual-domain right? Since even I couldn't accomplish it."

So he inquired system. "System, can I break through if I merge two domains?"

"The host is correct." replied the system.

He inquired again. "How do I accomplish it, system?"

The system responded. "No comment."

Grim asked. "Can you at least give me a clue?"

But he got no response. So he gave up on the system's help and began to unravel the process himself.

***

"Dual-Domain"

He started to ponder.

"Last time, I analyzed 'Energy Burst' to improve my understanding of the 'fire' and the 'wind' element. According to my analysis, 'Energy Burst' is formed by the combination of both 'fire' and 'wind' elements. However, I have to merge domains instead of elements this time ."

"I'll try the 'fire' and the 'wind' domains first since I have previous experience with them."

'Wind Domain'

The domain extended across 1.5 kilometers(0.9 miles), and gusts of wind blew within.

"Here goes nothing."

'Fire Domain'

The domain extended across 2.5 kilometers(1.5 miles) and encompassed the 'wind domain'. However, the 'wind domain' didn't outright vanish like previously. It lasted a few seconds before the 'fire domain' overwhelmed it and snuff it out.
