Chapter 1416: Slaves in the Skeletal Hell

The gray-white world of the Skeletal Hell was engulfed in flames. The undying flames from the true Hell contained astonishing power.

A Wondrous Spirit at the third stage of Divine King realm could only last less than a minute before turning into ashes.

Then, a series of compression forces suddenly appeared on Lin Moyu’s body in an enigmatic way, without any forewarning. It was as if the perished Wondrous Spirit was taking revenge on him after death.

Of course, this was just a feeling, and Lin Moyu had no intention of finding out the root cause.

The enormous compression forces came rushing in from all directions, constantly impacting him.

The compression force on the soul level was the weakest. Against Lin Moyu’s soul barrier at the peak of the fourth grade, this level of compression force was insignificant.

The compression force on the physical body level was much greater. Lin Moyu sensed that it was slightly higher than the tenth area, but the increase was extremely limited and still could not reach the limit of his physical body.

If he only relied on killing Wondrous Spirits at the third stage of the Divine King realm, the speed of advancement might be even slower than the tenth area.

After this test, Lin Moyu knew that killing only Wondrous Spirits at the third stage of the Divine King realm was far from enough.

If he wanted to quickly improve his physical body, he needed to kill higher-level Wondrous Spirits.

The Skeletal Hell was still flickering in the starry sky. The gray-white world stood out starkly against the darkness, appearing rather jarring.

The Wondrous Spirit had just died, but it was reborn in the enigmatic Skeletal Hell in an identical form, constantly changing without a specific appearance.

However, its color had turned gray-white, and it was covered by a thin layer of gray flames on the outside.

It died in the Skeletal Hell and became a slave of the Skeletal Hell.

As long as Lin Moyu did not die and the Skeletal Hell did not perish, it could never escape.

Even if it died again in the Skeletal Hell, it would be reborn shortly after.

“The Skeletal Hell seems to be even more powerful than expected.”

“And as I kill more enemies, the Skeletal Hell will grow stronger and stronger.”

“It’s another skill that grows stronger the more battles it goes through.”

Lin Moyu experienced the power of the Skeletal Hell. This power was not one-time but continuously growing stronger. However, the strengthening of the Skeletal Hell also required his own efforts.

He needed to keep killing enemies and accumulating power.

“If I combine the Skeletal Hell, the Undead Army, and the Buddha Kingdom in my palm, how powerful could the combined force become?” Lin Moyu pondered tactics while the Skeletal General brought back the Wondrous Spirits.

This time, the number of Wondrous Spirits brought back had increased, totaling four.

Three of them were at the third stage of the Divine King realm, and one was at the fourth stage.

Lin Moyu wanted to see if killing multiple Wondrous Spirits simultaneously would have a better stimulating effect on his physical body.

The Skeletal Hell reappeared in the void, enveloping the four Wondrous Spirits. The Skeletal Hell not only served as an attack, but also had a certain ability to trap enemies.

The four Wondrous Spirits had no intelligence and were randomly charging within the Skeletal Hell, unable to escape for the time being.

Lin Moyu did not bother with the Wondrous Spirit at the fourth stage of the Divine King realm for now. Instead, he controlled the undying flames within the Hell to burn the three Wondrous Spirits at the third stage of the Divine King realm.

The Wondrous Spirits were quickly burned to death, and three compression forces almost simultaneously acted upon Lin Moyu’s body.

Lin Moyu carefully felt them. “The three compression forces overlap, indeed increasing the overall force. It seems that killing multiple Wondrous Spirits at the same time can further enhance the compression force.”

“I wonder if three Wondrous Spirits at the third stage of the Divine King realm can match one at the fourth stage.”

With a thought, the Skeletal General charged into the Skeletal Hell, and its sword aura swept past, instantly killing the Wondrous Spirit at the fourth stage of the Divine King realm.

If he used the undying flames, it would have taken some time, but the Skeletal General could directly kill it with ease.

The Skeletal General possessed the power of the eighth stage of the Divine King realm, and the gap in cultivation allowed it to overwhelm the Wondrous Spirits.

Previously, when facing the Ancient Buddha’s Palm Imprint, it was not that the Skeletal General was not powerful enough, but rather that the Ancient Buddha’s Palm Imprint was abnormally powerful.

The Wondrous Spirit was killed, but the compression force did not act upon Lin Moyu.

Instead, the Skeletal General felt the compression force first, and its soul fire flickered and danced.

Lin Moyu was somewhat surprised. “So that’s how it is. The ones killed by the Skeletal General don’t count towards me.”

“It seems the plan needs to be adjusted.”

The Wondrous Spirits’ revenge targeted whoever killed them. If the Skeletal General killed them, it would target the Skeletal General instead of Lin Moyu.

This change caused Lin Moyu’s plan to shift. He had originally intended to test his limits and then use the Skeletal General to quickly kill a large number of Wondrous Spirits.

He had the advantage in numbers, and whether it was finding or killing Wondrous Spirits, he could achieve maximum efficiency and control.

But now, it was clearly not feasible. The Wondrous Spirits killed by the Skeletal General were of no help to him.

…..

Lin Moyu quickly formulated a new strategy.

“Use the Skeletal General to lure the Wondrous Spirits, and then I’ll personally kill them.”

“If there are many of them, I can have the Starlight Witch trap them with illusions.”

“I just don’t know what the limit of the Skeletal Hell is. If the slaves in the Skeletal Hell kill the Wondrous Spirits, does the revenge count towards the slaves or me? I need to continue testing.”

Next, Lin Moyu conducted several more experiments.

He found that if the slaves in the Skeletal Hell killed the Wondrous Spirits, the revenge would still fall upon him.

The slaves in the Skeletal Hell were not much weaker than their living selves, and with the undying flames enveloping them and their fearlessness of death, their attacks became even more fierce and powerful than before.

At the same time, Lin Moyu also found the most suitable Wondrous Spirits for himself during this process.

Wondrous Spirits at the sixth stage of the Divine King realm were the current limit he could withstand.

Without using damage transfer, if he received the revenge of a Wondrous Spirit at the seventh stage of the Divine King realm, his physical body would quickly collapse.

If he used damage transfer, then there would be no effect on body refinement.

In the end, Lin Moyu decided to find as many Wondrous Spirits at the sixth stage of the Divine King realm as possible. He could also kill five Wondrous Spirits at the fifth stage of the Divine King realm simultaneously.

The effects of these two options were the same.

During the tests, Lin Moyu also discovered the limit of the Skeletal Hell.

If relying solely on the Skeletal Hell’s own attack power, the limit was only to kill Wondrous Spirits at the fourth stage of the Divine King realm.

For other cultivators at the first stage of the Divine King realm, a single skill that could achieve three levels of realm transcendence would be considered an overwhelmingly powerful, even invincible skill.

But for Lin Moyu, a skill that could only transcend three realms to kill enemies was merely ordinary.

He had too many skills that could achieve this level of combat.

However, the true power of the Skeletal Hell did not lie in its attack power but in its slaves.

Any living being that died in the Skeletal Hell would become its slave.

So Lin Moyu brought back higher-level Wondrous Spirits, had the Skeletal General kill them, and turned them into slaves of the Skeletal Hell.

After a series of tests, there was now a Wondrous Spirit slave at the eighth stage of the Divine King realm within the Skeletal Hell.

With this slave, Lin Moyu could easily kill any Wondrous Spirit below the eighth stage of the Divine King realm.

Moreover, the revenge of these Wondrous Spirits would all count towards him.
