Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4169: Entering the Extradimensional Realm

Candle Dragon’s request seemed simple, but it was actually far from easy to accomplish. The number of Soul Devouring Spirit Kings was nothing like the number of Beast Kings. According to Candle Dragon, after years of observation, he was certain there were only three Soul Devouring Spirit Emperors among the Soul Devouring Spirits, and fewer than a thousand Soul Devouring Spirit Kings. In the vast expanse outside the world’s boundaries, finding even one Soul Devouring Spirit King was already difficult let alone at least three. Not every Spirit King possessed Soul Devouring Essence either; with bad luck, one might need to hunt down even more.

However, Lin Moyu wasn’t worried. “I can use origin aura to lure them over.” In fact, dealing with them would require using Gather Power, so this method was inevitable.

Candle Dragon replied, “I know, but there’s a problem if you attract a Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor, you could be in real danger. Out there, I can’t help you.”

Lin Moyu understood Candle Dragon’s real concern: it wasn’t just about his safety, but that if Lin Moyu died, there’d be no one left to help Candle Dragon transcend. He’d waited countless years for someone like Lin Moyu; if he missed this chance, who knew how long he’d have to wait again.

Lin Moyu smiled easily. “Don’t worry, I’m not that easy to kill. Tell me more about the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperors I’ve encountered one before, and they’re indeed hard to deal with.”

Candle Dragon said, “I know. That one is special not an ordinary Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor.” He explained further: the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor behind the door had entered the real world, and Candle Dragon was well aware of it, though he didn’t intervene. Even if he had, he couldn’t have killed it at most, he could have banished it. That Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor was indeed unique: it didn’t originate from this domain, but was a remnant from another, now dead domain. It had absorbed some of the power from the remains of that domain, making it even stronger than other Emperors. It also possessed intelligence if it couldn’t win, it would escape. So unless it caused major trouble, Candle Dragon wouldn’t act.

Candle Dragon knew Lin Moyu was searching for that door and wanted to return, so he hadn’t interfered. The destruction of several worlds was a trivial matter to Candle Dragon.

“The Myriad Spirits Pavilion’s domain is already dead. The space behind that door is a remnant of a dead domain a relic left after its demise. The domain is gone, and all the Soul Devouring Spirits that once enveloped it are gone too, except for that one special Emperor who survived. It’s much stronger than the average Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor certainly not something I could have handled back then.”

Candle Dragon asked, “Any other questions?”

Lin Moyu replied, “Not for now. Please open the passage and send me out.”

Candle Dragon turned his head and bit off a scale from his own neck. “Take this. It will let you find your way back. Be careful out there I won’t be able to help you, just watch.”

Lin Moyu nodded and put the scale away.

Candle Dragon activated the statue not using the rules this time, but his own power to open a passage. The formation beneath the statue activated, the Dao Cloud in the sky parted, revealing a pitch black void. Beyond the void was the extradimensional realm, and this place was very close to it.

Candle Dragon said, “For countless years, I’ve been using filth power to grind down the domain barrier. Here, the barrier is already very thin.” The domain barrier is what keeps out the Soul Devouring Spirits; as long as it exists, they can’t invade. Long ago, the Kunlun Emperor, in pursuit of transcendence, broke through the domain barrier in the virtual realm, letting the Soul Devouring Spirits in. Candle Dragon’s method was much more refined he simply thinned the barrier enough to set up a teleportation array, letting himself be sent out. The barrier wasn’t broken, so the Soul Devouring Spirits still couldn’t get in, and everything remained safe.

Filth power surged from the statue, and a formation appeared on the domain barrier, connecting both sides. Candle Dragon said, “Enter the array. Be careful out there.”

Lin Moyu nodded slightly and flew to the domain barrier, slipping into the formation. The array carried him through the barrier into the extradimensional realm, where a strange yet familiar aura greeted him. Lin Moyu felt as if this wasn’t his first time here the aura of the extradimensional realm was a mixture of domain and chaos, oddly familiar despite its strangeness. He recalled that he hadn’t felt this way in the Kunlun Great Spirit Domain, but since he couldn’t find any memory of it, he let it go.

Lin Moyu stood still, scanning the extradimensional world. Strictly speaking, this wasn’t fully the extradimensional realm yet it was still shrouded in the domain’s power. The way home was right behind him; at most, this place was a “half” extradimensional realm.

The Lord of Power had once come here through a rift in the Dead End, where he was besieged by Soul Devouring Spirits and badly injured before escaping. Lin Moyu checked his connection to the Origin Land and found it still intact. Besides Candle Dragon’s scale, he had a second escape route.

But Candle Dragon had warned that if he encountered a Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor, he’d be in danger meaning the Emperor could prevent his return; otherwise, there’d be no risk.

On guard, Lin Moyu watched the space around him twist as his undead servants flew out in all directions. They hadn’t gone far before discovering Soul Devouring Spirits. These spirits wandered aimlessly in the void, their soul flames strange and full of impurities, sometimes blazing, sometimes faint utterly chaotic. This meant these ordinary Soul Devouring Spirits had no intelligence. Their chaotic souls also told Lin Moyu they were mad once provoked, they’d go berserk.

Lin Moyu decided to provoke the mad ones. His undead servants could use the power of chaos and the Great Thousand World to resonate with the world’s Daos and manipulate them. But he’d never tried having an undead servant control multiple Daos at once.

At his command, one undead servant simultaneously wielded the gold and fire Daos from the Five Elements, merging their powers to create a flaming golden sword. The sword streaked through the void, slashing at a Soul Devouring Spirit.

Ordinary Soul Devouring Spirits had power comparable to a Dao Lord, but against an undead servant nearly at the Eternal level, they were helpless. The spirit instinctively resisted the Dao, but since the sword contained two Daos, it could only be immune to one. This spirit was immune to the Fire Dao, but was torn apart by the Gold Dao.

“It works!” Lin Moyu was reassured if his undead servants could harm these spirits, then ordinary Soul Devouring Spirits were no longer a threat.

The spirit’s soul scattered, leaving behind fragments. Killing Soul Devouring Spirits yielded loot that could strengthen one’s soul just as in the virtual realm. The undead servant brought it back, and Lin Moyu immediately refined it into soul powder. His own soul was already at its limit, so he didn’t want to leave the domain too soon and refrained from absorbing it. He saved it for Xiao Mei and the other girls to use in cultivation.
