Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 367: Falling into the Corpse Realm Might Not Be a Bad Thing

If anyone in the human race understands the Abyssal Demons the best, it is undoubtedly the military. Lin

Soldiers have been fighting Abyssal Demons for years, so they must understand them thoroughly to fight effectively.

Not only do they understand the demons, but they are also very knowledgeable about various items in the Abyss.

Most of the items made by Abyssal Demons are stone-like, and the Seal-Breaking Firestone is one of them. Made from the fire of the Abyss, the Seal-Breaking Firestone can break seals, barriers, and formations.

So when the power of the Seal-Breaking Firestone was sensed, the nature of the matter changed.

The human race and the Abyssal Demons are mortal enemies. Any association with the demons is considered treason, an unforgivable crime.

Using the Seal-Breaking Firestone leaves a faint trace of Abyssal energy.

This energy will linger for a long time.

Similarly, tampering with formations will leave traces, which cannot be hidden from a god-level formation master like Meng Anwen.

Following Meng Anwen’s guidance, Dongfang Yi arrived at Dongfang Tuo’s room.

Dongfang Tuo had long since disappeared, and even Dongfang Shun was nowhere to be found.

All that was left was a puppet, a substitute with an aura identical to Dongfang Tuo’s.

He used this puppet to cover his tracks and conceal the Abyssal energy.

“Escaped!” Dongfang Yi’s face turned grim.

Dongfang Tuo’s escape confirmed the entire matter.

For the Dongfang family, this was a great humiliation.

Having a traitor in the royal family who colluded with the Abyssal Demons was a huge scandal.

Meng Anwen sneered, “I will issue a wanted order through the military. As for the empire, you handle it yourselves.”

“If anything happens to Xiaoyu… you will have to fend for yourselves!”

Meng Anwen left, but the killing intent lingered for a long time.

Although Meng Anwen was not Lin Moyu’s teacher, he acted as if he were.

In Meng Anwen’s eyes, Lin Moyu was his disciple.

In Lin Moyu’s eyes, he had long regarded Meng Anwen as his teacher.

Dongfang Yi’s face turned pale. There was nothing he could do now but pray that Lin Moyu would be safe.

Orders were issued from the palace, spreading across the nation.

Dongfang Tuo was wanted for treason against the human race.

Shortly after Meng Anwen returned to the Divine Summer Tower, a terrifying killing intent erupted from the tower.

The sky over Xia Jing City turned pitch black, day and night reversed.

The killing intent, like dark clouds, enveloped the palace, exerting immense pressure and alarming almost all the royal family members.

Everyone in the palace felt as if a sword was hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

Many buildings in the palace creaked and collapsed.

Dongfang Li was startled awake from his secret realm, rushing out with a horrified expression, staring at the sky.

He was also a god-level expert, at level 92.

With just one glance, he could tell that the other party was much stronger than himself.

Soon, another god-level expert from the royal family arrived, Dongfang Zhan.

Like Dongfang Li, he was also at level 92.

Dongfang Li said in a deep voice, “Such strong killing intent, it must be at level 95.”

Dongfang Zhan’s face was solemn, “This is the killing intent of the Mad God. When did we offend the Mad God?”

Dongfang Yi also arrived, his face extremely grave, “This is a warning from the Mad God.”

At this moment, all three god-level experts of the royal family were present.

Dongfang Yi sighed and recounted Dongfang Tuo’s actions.

The two men’s faces turned extremely grim.

Dongfang Zhan said in a deep voice, “Find Dongfang Tuo, alive or dead.”

Dongfang Li also said, “Thoroughly investigate the family, see if there are any others hiding among us.”

With the god-level experts speaking, the Dongfang family sprang into action.

Dongfang Yi knew that no matter what they did now, it ultimately depended on whether Lin Moyu could return safely. Otherwise, even if Meng Anwen didn’t take action, they would still be in trouble with Yan Kuangsheng. The situation was truly dire!

In the Corpse Realm, Lin Moyu had already found the right direction.

The level of the corpses they encountered along the way was gradually increasing, and their speed was also accelerating.

Now, he had encountered level 10 corpses.

He had also encountered violent lightning, and level 10 corpses struck by lightning could evolve into level 15 corpses.

In the rain, Lin Moyu then cleared away a level 15 corpse that had just been struck by lightning.

Dongfang Yao followed closely behind Lin Moyu, not daring to fall behind by even half a step.

Three days had passed, and Dongfang Yao had completely calmed down.

Gradually, she was also influenced by Lin Moyu’s emotions, adopting a “take things as they come” attitude.

At this time, Lin Moyu also learned about Dongfang Yao’s profession.

Holy Shield Warrior.

A very rare profession, unique to the royal family, with a bloodline inheritance.

There are many families with bloodline-inherited professions, such as the Ni family with the Legion Overlord profession, the Mo family with the Summoner bloodline, and the Ning family with the Mage bloodline.

There are also some extremely special bloodline families, such as the Feng family with the Divine Swordsman bloodline, and the Dongfang family with the Holy Shield Warrior.

This bloodline has the ability to upgrade professions.

At first glance, the Holy Shield Warrior seems to be just a rare profession.

At the second job change, there is almost a 100% chance of directly upgrading to a legendary profession.

It is not a profession sublimation but an upgrade ability brought by the bloodline.

It is more like the power of the bloodline being activated.

If a profession sublimation occurs again, it can leap to become a mid-level legendary profession.

When talking about her bloodline, Dongfang Yao couldn’t help but show a hint of pride, “Apart from our Dongfang family, you won’t find another Holy Shield Warrior.”

“Our Holy Shield Warriors have some skills of both knights and warriors. Our defense is not much worse than knights, and our attack power can rival berserkers.”

Her words implied that the Holy Shield Warrior was a very strong profession.

But halfway through her speech, she suddenly fell silent, realizing that she was standing in front of someone with an incredibly powerful profession.

She still needed his protection to survive in the Corpse Realm.

Her Holy Shield Warrior seemed insignificant.

Lin Moyu didn’t say anything. He never underestimated any profession.

Especially now, after mastering most professions, Lin Moyu believed even more that there were no useless professions, only useless professionals.

Even a life profession has its advantages.

As long as the level can be raised, it won’t be bad.

After walking for half a day, they saw another storm ahead.

The sour stench filled the air.

Lightning illuminated the dark ground, accurately striking the corpses.

Those lucky enough to be struck by lightning were all evolving.

Lin Moyu suddenly said, “I want to try being struck by lightning.”

Boom!

Thunder roared, covering Lin Moyu’s words.

Dongfang Yao exclaimed, “What did you say?”

Lin Moyu said softly, “Nothing, you wait here, don’t move.”

He released two skeletal mages to protect Dongfang Yao and walked into the storm alone.

Dongfang Yao watched Lin Moyu, not knowing what he was going to do.

Boom!

Another lightning bolt struck, hitting Lin Moyu.

Along the way, they had been struck by lightning many times, but with the skeletal armor, they were unharmed.

But this time, at the moment the lightning struck, Lin Moyu removed the skeletal armor, letting the lightning hit him.

Along with the lightning came the rain, which was highly corrosive.

Dongfang Yao screamed, unable to believe what she was seeing.

The next second, white light reappeared on Lin Moyu’s body, and the skeletal armor reappeared, allowing Dongfang Yao to breathe a sigh of relief.

The lightning struck, electric currents flowed, and his body felt slightly numb and warm.

All the damage was shared by the skeletons, so he was not injured.

But the slight warmth remained in his body.

[Obtained Genesis Lightning, Experience +100000]

Seeing the message, Lin Moyu was slightly surprised, then suddenly understood. He realized why the corpses struck by lightning evolved, because they also gained experience. So their levels increased.

And when he was struck by lightning, he also gained experience.

But only 100,000 experience, which was too little.

Based on the experience gained over the past few days, in a storm, lightning would only strike the same target once.

It never struck a second time.

Lin Moyu shared his discovery with Dongfang Yao, who was also surprised.

She had never heard of such a thing.

But she couldn’t be struck by lightning like Lin Moyu.

Without damage transfer, just the raindrops would be enough to cause fatal damage.

They continued forward, and in the following days, whenever they encountered a storm, Lin Moyu would actively go to be struck by lightning.

It wasn’t for the experience; such a small amount of experience didn’t matter to Lin Moyu.

Every time he was struck by lightning, a slight warmth would remain, called Genesis Lightning.

His sixth sense told him that Genesis Lightning was unusual, and if accumulated to a certain amount, it might have some wonderful effect.

In this way, falling into the Corpse Realm wasn’t entirely a bad thing.
