Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 2450: Gaining Some Benefits, A Peculiar Sound**

On the grassland, poisonous fog spread, and fierce winds swept through. The Fish Eagles and giant pythons fought to the point of madness. If it weren’t for the unique nature of this space, a battle between high-level Celestial Sovereigns in the Great World would be enough to destroy countless star systems. Watching the distant battle, Lin Moyu pondered.

“The essence of cultivation is to make oneself stronger, and there are countless paths to becoming stronger.”

“Understanding laws and evolving a rule world is just one path. There should be many other paths to take.”

“The monsters in this space, the powerful beings in the Realm Sea, they lack wisdom, do not understand laws, and have no rule world, yet they can still be very strong.”

“This indicates that they have a path to becoming strong. The question is, how far can this path go? Can it lead to becoming a Dao Sovereign?”

Lin Moyu felt a bit of interest in their path. If given the chance, he wanted to explore the root of their strength. What exactly made them so powerful?

Lin Moyu watched the battle from afar, hiding his aura. Behind him was a high mountain, dense with forests, exuding a powerful aura. Lin Moyu did not dare to be careless; this mountain was equally dangerous. The Fish Eagles came from the mountain, indicating it was their stronghold. Besides Fish Eagles, there must be many other dangers.

Lin Moyu did not plan to enter immediately. If unnecessary, he didn’t even want to go in. He continued to watch the battle on the grassland, hoping to see the final outcome. If he was lucky, he might gain some benefits. The strange fish by the coast dropped origin crystals, so the Fish Eagles and giant pythons might drop them too.

The battle lasted for half a day, with casualties on both sides. Lin Moyu counted carefully: about eight Fish Eagles and over ten pythons had died. However, the pythons outnumbered the Fish Eagles, so the losses were not significant.

As Lin Moyu expected, origin crystals did drop, but they quickly disappeared into the grassland, making them unattainable. Even the corpses were swallowed by the grassland, making it hard for him to obtain them. If he wanted the corpses, he had to find another way.

The origin crystals from the Fish Eagles and pythons were fifth-level, but Lin Moyu was more interested in their corpses. He could obtain fifth-level origin crystals with some effort, but a high-level Celestial Sovereign’s corpse was a valuable life-saving card for him. Faced with this huge temptation, Lin Moyu’s mind raced, devising a plan.

Soon, a method emerged in his mind. “The Star Enchantment Lich and Cheng Hong Guang working together might create an opportunity.”

Lin Moyu activated the Eye of the Undead, looking at the dense forest behind him. He saw many powerful souls hidden in the forest, each representing a high-level Celestial Sovereign. These souls were not stationary; some moved around the forest. The number of souls was in the thousands, making Lin Moyu feel like he had left a tiger’s den only to enter a wolf’s lair.

Bracing himself, Lin Moyu found a relatively safe spot amidst the danger and concealed his aura as much as possible.

Following his plan, he sent out the Star Enchantment Lich and Cheng Hong Guang. Cheng Hong Guang moved away, hiding at the edge of the grassland. The Star Enchantment Lich, using its small body, advanced along the grass, with Lin Moyu directing it through the Eye of the Undead.

Soon, the Star Enchantment Lich entered the battlefield, targeting a heavily injured python and casting the Illusion of the Great Dao. This spell had a unique advantage: it was silent and almost undetectable. It directly affected the soul, influencing the python’s consciousness. The python, lacking wisdom, was easily affected by the illusion. The heavily injured python suddenly turned and began to move away from the battlefield, appearing to flee for its life. Its behavior did not attract the attention of other pythons. Only Lin Moyu knew that in the python’s vision, it was chasing a Fish Eagle that had fallen and could no longer fly. The Fish Eagle was crawling on the grass, barely alive, and the python wanted to catch and eat it.

Gradually, the python moved away from the battlefield, reaching Cheng Hong Guang’s hiding spot. Cheng Hong Guang launched a sudden attack, delivering a fatal blow. The already heavily injured python, deep in the illusion, was killed instantly by Cheng Hong Guang’s sudden attack. Cheng Hong Guang then used a pre-prepared ancient containment talisman to store the corpse. The entire process, from the sudden attack to storing the corpse, took less than two seconds. After finishing, Cheng Hong Guang immediately changed his position and moved away. The Star Enchantment Lich, using the grass as cover, stealthily returned to the battlefield to repeat the process.

The next target was a similarly injured Fish Eagle. The Fish Eagle saw an illusion of a heavily injured python fleeing and immediately chased after it, only to be killed by the hidden Cheng Hong Guang. Time and again, Lin Moyu’s actions became more skilled, and the number of corpses in his possession increased. In less than an hour, he had five corpses: three pythons and two Fish Eagles.

However, Lin Moyu knew when to stop and did not continue. With five corpses in hand, he no longer feared ordinary high-level Celestial Sovereigns. He could see that the battle was nearing its end and would soon be over. Both sides would likely end in a draw. He knew that similar battles had probably occurred many times before, with no definitive outcome.

Thud!

A peculiar sound rang out, like the clinking of jade, not loud but instantly spreading across the entire grassland. The sound carried a unique power, causing Lin Moyu’s soul to tremble slightly. When the sound rang out, the battle between the Fish Eagles and pythons suddenly stopped, abruptly and without warning. The pythons retreated into the grassland, disappearing underground. The Fish Eagles quickly returned to the mountain, leaving the area clean.

Lin Moyu was stunned, “This sound is strange!”

Thud!

The knocking sound rang out again, causing Lin Moyu’s soul to tremble once more. He suddenly felt that his soul had strengthened slightly after hearing the sound. The magical knocking sound seemed to enhance the soul. Lin Moyu couldn’t help but want to listen more, as his soul hadn’t strengthened in a long time. His soul had always surpassed his cultivation level, but now his soul and cultivation level were both at the peak Supreme level. However, his soul was now growing stronger again, seemingly about to surpass his cultivation level once more.

The knocking sound continued, carrying a unique rhythm, and Lin Moyu enjoyed listening to it. “What is this?”

The Eye of the Undead remained active, and he suddenly noticed something unusual. Under the grassland, soul fires began to appear. These soul fires were very weak, like newborns, not even reaching the Super Divine level. But as the soul fires appeared, accompanied by the knocking sound, they began to grow stronger rapidly. In just ten knocks, the souls broke through to the Super Divine level. The soul fires continued to grow stronger, and the grass on the damaged grassland also began to grow wildly, quickly restoring the grassland to its original state. The knocking sound became more intense, and the soul fires grew stronger.
