Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Antares let out a chuckle, but to Lin Moyu, it carried a distinct note of bitter amusement.

His important Dragon Bead was about to be stolen, yet he could still laugh.

Antares said, "It's not that there's no way. It's just far too dangerous. A law domain isn't something that can be broken so easily."

Lin Moyu replied coldly, "Enough with the nonsense. Just tell me."

Antares shook his head, "Forget it. It's only one Dragon Bead. I can cultivate another one in a few ten thousand years."

Lin Moyu rolled his eyes, "What, are you immortal?"

No matter how powerful Antares was, he hadn't reached true immortality.

Even Dragons had finite lifespans.

A few ten thousand years wasn't a trivial amount of time. Losing that much of his lifespan would severely affect his future.

Although Antares tried to brush it off, Lin Moyu could hear the helplessness beneath his casual tone.

He understood that Antares simply didn't want him taking such a dangerous risk.

But some risks were worth taking.

Lin Moyu said impatiently, "Quit stalling. If you really consider me a friend, then tell me."

Antares's hesitation was starting to irritate him.

After being pressed repeatedly, Antares finally gave in, "You have a curse law art that can damage the soul and disrupt the flow of time.”

"Although the Star Trees have entered the deep layer, only a tiny fragment of its soul has entered."

"Those fragments won't exceed the Transcendent God 9th tier. As long as they haven't reached the True God realm, your curses can still affect them."

"The moment they unfold their law domain, you must cast your curse. Disrupt their temporal rhythm and wound their soul simultaneously. If your timing is perfect, you may be able to destroy the law domain.”

"But even if you succeed in destroying the law domain, you'll only have a few seconds—at most. Within that window, you must eliminate every mother tree."

"Once the Star Tree becomes wary, your curse won't be able to interrupt its law domain so easily again."

"And if you fail, you'll be trapped inside the law domain. Escaping then will be extremely difficult.”

At last, Antares revealed the method.

After hearing the explanation, Lin Moyu couldn’t help blurting out, "That's it? Sounds simple enough."

Antares snapped, "Simple, my foot! Do you think you're just interrupting a monster's skill? You'll only have a single instant to act."

Lin Moyu scoffed, "What's the difference? Stop wasting time and send me over. I'll bring your Dragon Bead back."

Antares said, "What's the rush? Even if they want to extract my Dragon Bead, it'll take years. Get stronger first. Once you reach the Transcendent God realm, it'll be much safer."

"The longer we wait, the more things can go wrong. Better to settle this now so I can go home, hold my wives, and sleep peacefully."

What if they managed to extract the Dragon Bead ahead of schedule? By then, regret would be meaningless.

Besides, even if he became stronger, the difficulty wouldn't become significantly lower. It was better to act while the opportunity still existed.

Antares still hesitated, "Are you really not going to reconsider? If anything goes wrong... you'll die."

Lin Moyu's patience wore thin, "Stop acting so wishy-washy, you limp-legged Dragon."

"You brat! If you're so eager to die, then go!" Antares roared and exhaled a blast of breath, hurling Lin Moyu straight into the deep layer.

A spatial channel tore open.

Wrapped in Dragon breath, Lin Moyu shot through it amid crackling sparks and flashing lightning.

Back in the deep layer, he remained motionless.

He let the Dragon breath wash over him as memories surfaced in his mind.

He remembered something Antares had once told him.

If Lin Moyu ever became trapped or found himself in mortal danger within the deep layer, Antares would personally come to rescue him.

Back then, Antares had also mentioned that intervening in the deep layer came at a price.

Only now did Lin Moyu realize just how heavy that price truly was.

It was a sacrifice even greater than losing a Dragon Bead.

Breaking the rules...

As for what those rules actually were, Antares had never explained, keeping them shrouded in mystery.

Whoever had established those rules had to be unimaginably powerful—at the very least, someone stronger than Antares himself.

But what realm had that being reached? God Sovereign realm? Unequaled powerhouse?

Lin Moyu had no way of knowing.

But one thing was certain. For his sake, Antares had been willing to violate those rules and pay an unimaginable price just to save him.

If that was the case, then what was the issue with risking his own life for Antares?

Debts of vengeance had to be repaid. Debts of gratitude, even more so.

Lin Moyu had few friends.

Antares was one of the most important—a true friend who would stand beside him through life and death.

No matter what, the Dragon Bead had to be recovered.

Once Lin Moyu made up his mind, he would see it through.

Still, charging in recklessly wasn't his style. Before making his move, he needed to prepare.

A fairly complete map of the deep layer had already taken shape in his mind.

He knew where every Transcendent God realm monster lurked and which regions housed the stronger creatures.

Leading his undead army, Lin Moyu headed straight for the nearest target: a Transcendent God 5th tier monster.

A Transcendent God 5th tier monster was troublesome, but far from unmanageable.

After a brief battle, the undead army overwhelmed and killed it.

A monster was still just a monster. It possessed some intelligence, but not enough to match a true powerhouse.

Had it been a Transcendent God expert from another race, the battle would have been far more difficult.

The scent of blood soon spread once more.

The undead army drained every drop of the monster's blood before scattering it across a thousand-kilometer radius.

The blood attracted far more than Bloodthirsty Bees—it lured numerous other monsters as well.

Before long, waves of monsters converged.

Thunderous blasts echoed across the deep layer.

This time, Lin Moyu showed no restraint, effortlessly annihilating every monster that approached.

The corpse of the Transcendent God 5th tier monster served as perfect bait. Even Transcendent God 6th tier monsters found the temptation irresistible.

As more monsters died, Lin Moyu spread their blood even farther, drawing in ever greater hordes.

Eventually, a swarm of Bloodthirsty Bees arrived.

This was exactly what he had been waiting for.

Using them as test subjects, Lin Moyu observed their signature ability.

When gravely injured, Bloodthirsty Bees fused their souls together, manifesting a soul attack that approached the True God realm.

The soul fusion happened with astonishing speed—almost instantaneously.

The moment the fusion began, Lin Moyu cast Time Curse.

The process stopped cold.

He had interrupted enemy skills countless times before.

Back when he was much weaker, he had frequently used Soul Blaze to interrupt boss skills.

Now, it came as naturally as breathing.

His first attempt succeeded.

Rather than attacking again, he waited.

As expected, the dazed Bloodthirsty Bees tried to fuse their souls again after a dozen seconds.

Lin Moyu kept his soul force locked onto the Bloodthirsty Bees, monitoring their every movement.

The instant the soul fusion started, Time Curse struck again.

The soul fusion was interrupted a second time, leaving the Bloodthirsty Bees utterly bewildered.

Despite their strength, the Bloodthirsty Bees possessed little intelligence. Their actions were mostly driven by instinct.

So they tried soul fusion a third time.

Lin Moyu observed carefully and interrupted it once more.

This time, his timing was even more precise.

In his eyes, the Bloodthirsty Bees' soul fusion shared striking similarities with the Star Tree's law domain.

Against the Star Tree, he would only have a single chance.

The Bloodthirsty Bees were the perfect practice targets.

Again and again, the dazed bees attempted soul fusion. Again and again, Lin Moyu interrupted it.

With each repetition, his timing became sharper.

Even the faintest fluctuation in law allowed him to predict the exact moment to strike.

Without realizing it, his perception had reached an astonishing level.

Only after dozens of successful interruptions did Lin Moyu finally spare the Bloodthirsty Bees.

"What an excellent test subject!"
