Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4227: Truly Tough

When Lin Moyu’s soul swept over the area where the Tree Kings were located, he found it empty yet he had a strange, indescribable feeling.

The Tree Kings were shrouded by an invisible power. Though they clearly existed in the world, and the Undead Eye could see the soul flames within them, it was as if they did not truly inhabit this realm. The sensation was bizarre they obviously were there, yet simultaneously absent. It was like seeing an object that you could look at but could not touch, while the object itself could, nevertheless, attack you at will.

With a gentle flick of his finger, Lin Moyu sent forth a cascade of scarlet flames, and the Hell of Bones descended from the sky to cover the Tree Kings. Countless fearsome ghosts of hell rushed out of the Hell of Bones, but it was as if they had lost their targets. Countless branches lashed out like a dense net of sharp blades, tearing the hell ghosts to shreds in an instant. The entire Hell of Bones trembled as though it would shatter at any moment.

Black Prison (Heiyu), with a roar, charged out, spewing dragon breath to burn the branches while sweeping its tail through the air to scatter them. Its dragon claws seized upon branches, trying to rip them apart.

But the branches were far too tough Black Prison’s tearing had almost no effect, and the dragon’s breath barely worked. More branches whipped in, overpowering Black Prison.

The current Hell of Bones was extremely powerful; the might of its hell ghosts was in no way inferior to Lin Moyu’s undead servants, and Black Prison by now exceeded many Eternals in strength. Even so, they were still not a match for the Tree Kings.

Lin Moyu squinted when the Hell of Bones was attacked, it should automatically lock on to its attacker. This function had never failed before, yet now it had. Even Hell of Bones could not lock on to the Tree Kings; Black Prison could only grip a few branches. If the branches were not actively attacking, there likely wouldn’t even be an opportunity to touch them.

As things stood, he could only passively defend; how was one supposed to fight like this?

Multitasking, Lin Moyu continued bombarding other ancient trees, while turning part of his focus to the Tree Kings. He observed, analyzed, and searched for weaknesses.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The space before Lin Moyu shattered as several branches lashed out from the sky. Fatty reacted instantaneously, transforming into a giant, leaping in front of Lin Moyu and smashing the branches away with both fists, only to be driven back nearly a kilometer.

Cracks appeared all over Fatty’s fists. As the Domain Rivers and Mountains Order, her whole body was forged from innate primordial treasure unparalleled in solidity. Yet, she cracked from just one hit, which showed the sheer force behind the blow had it struck Lin Moyu, he would surely have died.

The branches circled back and struck again. Fatty returned as well, intercepting them once more.

In less than half a second, the cracks on her fists vanished, her recovery astonishing.

Lin Moyu quietly ordered, “Grab it!”

Fatty, now exceedingly obedient, instantly changed her attack to a grip and seized one of the branches tightly. The remaining branches struck her again, causing fresh cracks to spread across her body.

Lin Moyu produced a rarely used artifact the Icy Jade Meditation Mat. He sat on it directly, letting his soul power pour into it.

He had used the Icy Jade Meditation Mat many times before; it could freeze even the Great Dao in the vacuum of the virtual realm and had once been invaluable when dealing with the Young Domain King. But those instances were only a fraction of its true abilities.

Now, Lin Moyu was pushing the mat to its limits, making it blaze with light. Countless fine white threads shot out, instantly wrapping the branch that Fatty held. Wherever the white threads touched, the void froze and all flows of power ceased. There is nothing in existence that cannot be frozen given low enough temperatures and strong enough power, even the Great Dao can be frozen, even entire domains.

The crazily thrashing branch went still in an instant. A layer of white frost appeared on its surface; inside, it was already occupied by the power of frost.

“Let go,” Lin Moyu instructed.

Fatty obeyed, letting go immediately. The cold force violently erupted, freezing the surrounding void and making Fatty retreat in haste she could sense the ice’s danger, realizing she too might be frozen.

In the next moment, the freezing followed the branch through the void, enveloping the Tree King.

On one of the Tree Kings, icy frost rose, spreading a layer of cold all over it until it was transformed into an ice sculpture.

Within the ice sculpture, a pair of eyes appeared Lin Moyu’s eyes.

Through the Icy Jade Meditation Mat, he let his soul permeate the frost into the Tree King itself.

He had not hoped to kill a Tree King with the mat he only wanted to know why he could not lock onto it.

With his soul contacting the Tree King through the frost, Lin Moyu finally realized the answer.

“Chaotification. So that’s it.”

He whispered this to himself. The surface of the Tree King’s body had undergone strange changes, different from all other creatures of the domain.

The Tree King hadn’t just reached half step Chaos in combat power its body’s surface was already chaotified.

Once the Tree King’s skin was chaotified, it no longer belonged to the domain.

Chaos is the source of the Great Dao, the source of the domain; in terms of hierarchy, it is innately above the domain.

Therefore, with a soul that was not chaotified, he naturally could not lock onto such a target.

Lin Moyu felt a headache but not about the Tree King itself. Though its surface was chaotified, it wasn’t complete; there were still ways to deal with it. What really worried him was the Tree Sovereign. Judging from the state of the Tree Kings, the Tree Sovereign might already be fully chaotified a truly formidable entity.

For now, since he had no solution to the Tree Sovereign, Lin Moyu decided to handle the Tree Kings first.

The Tree King that had been frozen had started to adapt, struggling madly.

Its comrades lashed out with branches and roots, smashing the shell of ice, which splintered and threatened to shatter at any moment.

Lin Moyu’s will surged, sending more power into the frost countless icy spikes erupted and pierced the Tree King’s outer skin. [012107227 飞卢 180290170]

The Tree King had only chaotified its surface. Inside, its body had not.

Lin Moyu’s soul followed the ice spikes into the Tree King’s body, passing beyond the outer skin and at last managing to lock onto it.

With a gentle flick: “Corpse Explosion!”

A huge number of prepared tree corpses turned to ash, and the Tree King’s body exploded from within.

One explosion wasn’t enough to kill the Tree King, so Lin Moyu repeated the process again and again.

He had a massive reserve of corpses; he wanted to see just how much punishment the Tree King could endure.

The difference between half step Chaos and Eternity really was immense. Even after multiple explosions, the Tree King howled in pain and rage, its screams like razors to the soul.

“So awful!” Fatty clasped her ears, not wanting to hear the noise, but it cut straight to the soul covering her ears made no difference.

Lin Moyu blasted ten corpse explosions in an instant, yet the Tree King was wounded but not dead.

“Truly tough!”

Lin Moyu realized that there really was a formidable gap between himself and the Tree Kings. On the strength side, with Power Gather he could achieve half step Chaos, but his body and soul, lacking true chaotification, were much weaker in defense.

His thoughts whirled, but he kept up the assault if ten explosions weren’t enough, then twenty, forty, or even more. He had more than enough corpses, so there was no risk of running out…
