Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3926: Underestimating It

Little Python trembled in fear. “Master, what should I do?”

It hadn’t lived nearly enough yet dying was the last thing on its mind. The excitement it felt upon entering the Real Virtual Spirit Domain had completely vanished; now, it just wanted to survive.

“I’ll put you away for now.”

Hearing this, Little Python nodded frantically. “Yes, yes!” But then it asked, “Master, what about you?”

Lin Moyu replied, “I’ll be fine. It doesn’t absorb or kill me.”

As he spoke, a divine rune flew out, storing Little Python away. Fortunately, this aspect hadn’t been affected the divine rune’s function hadn’t been reversed.

Lin Moyu’s soul was also leaking out, but his soul was far stronger than Little Python’s, and he could sense it. If things got truly dangerous, he could simply self destruct his soul and form a new one. So for Lin Moyu, this place wasn’t really dangerous at all.

He released a vast number of undead servants, who began spreading out in all directions to search for the spirit domain’s core. But their movements were very strange each one was flying backward. Every attempt to move forward in this place became moving backward; everything was reversed. However, the undead servants quickly adapted, and after just a few minutes, they were all used to it.

Lin Moyu simply released his four Elemental Liches as well, letting them play here. Such a fun place was truly rare. Indeed, as soon as the little ones were out, they started playing wildly, flying everywhere without trying to adapt making it even more fun. They played games of chase, and in this environment, it was almost impossible to catch each other. Laughter echoed in his ears, and Lin Moyu smiled too.

But in the blink of an eye, his smile faded. He realized his smiling expression had turned into an awkward look his lips, which should have been upturned, now pointed down. Smiling became crying, and even when he spoke, it sounded like he was sobbing. His mood grew worse and worse; the happier he’d been before, the more miserable he felt now.

The influence of the Positive Negative Great Dao was seeping in, starting to alter his thoughts. Lin Moyu suddenly felt he shouldn’t go to the Tianyu Tianzhou Great Spirit Domain, shouldn’t seek a way to fully open the gate, shouldn’t look for a path to transcendence, and should just stay in the Origin Continent and quietly wait for death. As soon as this thought appeared, Lin Moyu crushed it his Dao heart enveloped him, blocking the Dao’s bewitchment.

“I underestimated the Dao’s influence.”

Lin Moyu sighed softly, realizing he had indeed underestimated it. The Positive Negative Great Dao didn’t just affect actions, but also thoughts and the heart. The more he wanted to do something, the less he would want to under its influence. Just like the harder he tried to get closer, the faster he would retreat.

Fortunately, his Dao heart was strong enough to catch this in time and snuff out the thought. The undead servants were unaffected they had no desires, only Lin Moyu’s commands, which were their instinct and couldn’t be changed. The four Elemental Liches were the same their thoughts belonged to Lin Moyu and were immune to change.

Lin Moyu waited patiently as the undead servants explored; the situation in the spirit domain gradually became clear. Aside from the Positive Negative Great Dao, there was nothing else here. As long as one could resist the Dao’s silent invasion, there was no real danger.

In just two days, the undead servants found the innate source treasure. The treasure was about the size of a fist, pointed at both ends and round in the middle. Lin Moyu still didn’t move himself; instead, he had the undead servants bring the treasure back.

As the undead servants reached for the treasure, just as they were about to touch it, they suddenly pulled their hands back. The Positive Negative Great Dao acted again reaching out became pulling back. When they pulled their hands back, it became reaching out. And as they neared the treasure, the Dao reversed again, making pulling back into actual pulling back. This reversal was very targeted anyone trying to approach the treasure was affected.

“Interesting!”

Lin Moyu sent more undead servants, surrounding the innate source treasure from all sides, leaving no gaps. But without exception, all failed.

After repeated failures, Lin Moyu thought of a solution: if reaching out didn’t work, then don’t reach out. The undead servants gathered tightly together, forming a dense encirclement layer upon layer. The outer servants pressed the inner ones forward, so the innermost could not retreat even if affected by the Dao. In this way, they pushed forward as a mass, and eventually, the innermost undead servants touched the treasure with their bodies.

At the moment of contact, the treasure vibrated violently, as if resisting. But the undead servants, with Dao Lord level strength, were not afraid of a mere treasure. They held firm, and the encirclement didn’t budge. After a while, the vibration weakened, and the ball didn’t disperse it just started moving, bringing the treasure back.

Their progress was slow, requiring constant course corrections this was a way of moving Lin Moyu had never seen before. It took five full days for the undead servants to return to Lin Moyu with the treasure.

Lin Moyu flicked his finger, sending out a ball of World Burning Fire. The moment it flew out, it tried to fly backward. Lin Moyu willed it forward, but under the Dao’s influence, it started flying backward. But the backward motion lasted only a second before the World Burning Fire buzzed, shattered the surrounding Positive Negative Great Dao, and descended forcefully, landing on the treasure.

A sharp scream came from the treasure it already possessed a trace of spirituality. It wasn’t sentient yet, just instinctively resisting being taken or refined. Lin Moyu understood, but he needed the treasure, so he burned away its weak spirituality with the World Burning Fire.

With its spirituality gone, the treasure stopped vibrating, and the Dao’s influence faded. Lin Moyu dismissed the undead servants and, by moving backward, found himself right in front of the treasure. He willed his hand to retract, but as he acted, his hand extended and grabbed the treasure.

Dao power surged, blocking the treasure’s leaking Dao. Without hesitation, Lin Moyu raised the Catastrophic Scepter and smashed it down. The novelty of everything being reversed had worn off now it was just a hassle. After three strikes, the treasure finally broke apart.

Immediately, the Undying Fire ignited, and Lin Moyu began summoning an Elemental Lich. He put away the other half of the treasure to use later for attracting Great Dao Beasts.

With the treasure gone, the Real Virtual Spirit Domain collapsed amid tremors everything, from earth to stones, vanished, born and destroyed by the Dao.

He released Little Python. “All done, it’s safe now.”

Little Python flattered, “Master, you really are amazing.”

Lin Moyu was long used to flattery, but suddenly turned his head and muttered, “They’re here already?”
