Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 2256: Not the Limit of Laws

Wherever the vast ocean passed, darkness retreated and the starry sky regained its clarity.

The dark void was truly vast. Even with Xuanwu’s speed, it would still take many years to purify it all.

White Tiger was too impatient to wait. Under its nagging and urging, Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise had no choice but to temporarily pause the purification and head to the Azure Dragon Battlefield first.

After all, the purification wasn’t urgent and could be continued later by Black Tortoise.

Space gates opened repeatedly as the one human and three beasts quickly entered the Azure Dragon Battlefield.

White Tiger clicked its tongue, “Space gates are really convenient. Too bad your realm is still a bit low.”

“When you reach Saint Lord, you can cross 100,000 light years each time.”

“At half-step Supreme, you can cross a million light years each time. Now that’s fast.”

Lin Moyu remained expressionless, but inwardly thought, “So Luo Shen has already reached half-step Supreme.”

Back then when Luo Shen opened a space gate to send him a million light years away, Lin Moyu lacked experience and thought Luo Shen was just a Saint Lord.

He didn’t expect Luo Shen had already reached half-step Supreme.

Lin Moyu asked, “Then as a Supreme, wouldn’t space gates be able to instantly cross tens of millions of light years and reach the edge of the world?”

How big was the great world anyway? Probably only tens of millions of light years or so. Even if it was a bit bigger, it couldn’t be that much larger.

Other Shore, Saint Lord, half-step Supreme – each level increased the distance by tenfold. By that calculation, a Supreme’s space gate should indeed be able to cross tens of millions of light years.

Vermilion Bird said, “It doesn’t work like that. Space gates have a limit of one million light years.”

“Even the Space Heavenly Sovereign back then, using his origin power, could only instantly cross two million light years at most.”

Lin Moyu said, “So that’s how it is. Space gates actually have a limit.”

Black Tortoise’s deep voice sounded, “All things have limits. Some things may seem limitless, but that’s only because we haven’t found their limit. It’s not that they don’t have limits, but that we can’t find them, or we’ve reached our own limits.”

White Tiger shouted, “Black Tortoise, you slept for so many years but you still talk like this. Can’t you say something people can understand?”

Black Tortoise said, “It’s hard for me to explain to you.”

It tossed the exact same words as Vermilion Bird back at White Tiger, infuriating White Tiger.

Lin Moyu felt Black Tortoise’s words made a lot of sense. It was like an ordinary person seeing an impossibly tall mountain they couldn’t climb, thinking it must be the tallest mountain in the world.

They might not realize there could be even taller mountains beyond.

Ordinary people only see their own limits, not the true limits.

Lin Moyu said, “I think perhaps this isn’t the limit of space gates, but our own limits.”

Vermilion Bird pondered for a moment, “What you say makes sense. I hope you’ll be able to see higher mountains.”

Black Tortoise said, “If you can get through this, perhaps you’ll have the chance.”

White Tiger looked confused, “What are you all talking about? Can’t you say something normal people can understand?”

Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise turned away simultaneously, ignoring this guy. White Tiger’s intelligence was really beyond help.

Entering the core area of the Azure Dragon Battlefield, Lin Moyu finally saw the last origin divine beast: Azure Dragon!

Azure Dragon’s body glowed with a blue-green light, its form not much different from the divine dragons of the dragon race.

It slept motionlessly in the starry sky, with a faint blue-green light radiating from its body.

No origin aura was emitted. Even from billions of miles away, no aura could be sensed.

This was different from divine beasts like Vermilion Bird.

There were no other cosmic beasts here, but looking beyond the area of billions of miles, many fragments could be seen floating in the starry sky.

The fragments emitted the aura of Divine Sovereigns, dead but not decaying. They were the shattered remains of cosmic beasts.

They had died here, torn apart by an invisible force.

Vermilion Bird said, “Within 100 million kilometers is Azure Dragon’s killing domain. We can’t get through.”

Among the four origin divine beasts, Azure Dragon had the strongest combat power, far surpassing the others.

Vermilion Bird and the others were equivalent to Supremes. With their origin power, they could rival peak Supremes.

But Azure Dragon could fight head-on with Heavenly Sovereigns. However, back then among the four divine beasts, Azure Dragon was the most severely injured. It was unclear how much it had recovered.

Lin Moyu asked, “Then how do we awaken it?”

Black Tortoise said, “I should be able to!”

Vermilion Bird also nodded, “Alright, be careful. If you can’t do it, come back and we’ll think of another way!”

White Tiger said, “Get ready, I’ll give you a boost!”

Black Tortoise retracted its entire body into its shell.

Then with its shell facing Azure Dragon, White Tiger whipped up fierce winds that pushed Black Tortoise towards Azure Dragon.

With White Tiger’s assistance, the shell’s speed was much faster than usual.

The method to awaken Azure Dragon was similar to White Tiger’s, requiring a certain degree of stimulation.

As soon as the shell entered Azure Dragon’s domain, a deafening rumble sounded.

The starry sky shook as space rippled like waves.

The shell emitted a watery light, resisting the attacks from the killing domain.

The power of the killing domain was very strong. The shell’s speed kept decreasing.

At this moment, White Tiger roared again. Its body enveloped in fierce winds, it charged forward, accurately hitting the shell a second time along its trajectory, giving it another boost.

The shell accelerated again towards Azure Dragon, while White Tiger immediately retreated.

Through his Soul Eye, Lin Moyu saw White Tiger spraying blood from countless wounds.

By the time White Tiger returned, its body was covered in horrific gashes.

Lin Moyu waved out life force to heal White Tiger. White Tiger’s injuries quickly recovered.

White Tiger excitedly shouted, “That should do it. Tsk tsk, Azure Dragon’s power is really terrifying.”

Vermilion Bird said, “Azure Dragon’s origin power governs killing, of course it’s powerful.”

Azure Dragon’s power wasn’t leaked externally, but concentrated within its domain. The more concentrated it was, the more it proved its strength.

The shell’s speed decreased again under endless attacks. At this point, Black Tortoise erupted with its power, waves of water pushing it forward.

It couldn’t stop. If it stopped now, all their efforts would be wasted.

Lin Moyu and the others watched nervously, hoping Black Tortoise would succeed.

Finally, after being pushed by wave after wave, Black Tortoise managed to reach Azure Dragon.

With Black Tortoise’s roar, the waves suddenly became violent. Its speed abruptly increased as it crashed into Azure Dragon like a meteor.

Azure Dragon’s body flashed with blue-green light, blasting Black Tortoise away with a bang.

Black Tortoise was sent flying millions of kilometers before finally leaving Azure Dragon’s domain.

“Did it work?” White Tiger asked dazedly.

At this point, even Vermilion Bird wasn’t certain. Black Tortoise had indeed hit Azure Dragon, but whether that was enough to wake it up was hard to say.

Lin Moyu used his Undead Vision and saw changes in Azure Dragon’s soul flame.

The originally calm soul flame began to grow active. Lin Moyu’s soul also sensed this change. “It worked. Azure Dragon is starting to wake up!”

White Tiger said, “How do you know when even I don’t know?”

Lin Moyu said, “I can sense Azure Dragon’s soul becoming active.”

Vermilion Bird said, “Your soul is very sensitive.”

Lin Moyu nodded. His soul was indeed very sensitive, far surpassing others.

Vermilion Bird continued, “Having a sensitive soul is a good thing, especially if you want to become a Supreme or even a Heavenly Sovereign. It gives you a huge advantage.”

“A sensitive soul doesn’t guarantee becoming a Heavenly Sovereign, but all Heavenly Sovereigns have sensitive souls!”

“The Heavenly Sovereigns call this soul sensitivity ’spiritual perception’!”
