Chapter 851: Corpse Explosion Shows Its Might; Law Domain
Massive roots stretched deep beneath the surface, twisting and intertwining across the entire forest.
All of these roots originated from the mother trees hidden in the forest's deepest part. The countless trees spread throughout the forest were merely branches of those mother trees.
Lin Moyu personally joined the battle, unleashing the terrifying power of Corpse Explosion.
Wherever he went, vast swathes of trees collapsed.
Each cast annihilated thousands upon thousands of trees in an instant.
Deep within the forest, the thousand-meter-tall mother trees were utterly enraged. They regenerated frantically, causing the law of wood to surge throughout the region.
Their recovery speed was astonishing, yet it was nowhere near enough to keep up with Lin Moyu's relentless destruction.
Corpse Explosion was simply too formidable. Trees of the same level could not withstand it and were obliterated in an instant.
Lin Moyu had expected this result.
Against enemies of the same level, Corpse Explosion had always been virtually unbeatable.
If he possessed the corpse, or even just some remains, of a God Sovereign, he was confident he could use it to kill even other God Sovereigns of the same realm.
Advancing as though through an empty land, Lin Moyu turned the ten-thousand-meter radius around him into a forbidden zone of death.
The devastation he caused alone surpassed that of his entire undead army.
Emperor Di had previously been stunned by Lin Moyu's power, but by now he could calmly accept it.
Once accepted, everything somehow seemed normal—as if Lin Moyu was simply meant to be this formidable.
Even so, Emperor Di could not help but marvel.
He even entertained the idea of recording Lin Moyu's deeds in a book for future generations.
Then, hundreds of years later, people would know that the human race had once produced a genius capable of slaughtering Transcendent Gods while still below the half-step Transcendent God realm.
Such a record could inspire countless others.
Unaware of Emperor Di's thoughts, Lin Moyu remained focused on the battle.
The mother trees in the depths of the forest were thoroughly enraged.
Countless branches lashed out like giant whips, yet before they could reach Lin Moyu, they were blasted apart.
The earth split open as countless roots surged out, attacking from all directions.
"Useless.”
Lin Moyu instantly locked onto them. As his law art activated, the roots exploded one after another.
Unhindered, he led his undead army straight toward the mother trees.
Boom!
Fused lae: Time Curse!
A crimson radiance descended.
The cursed mother trees trembled violently. l
Though incapable of speech, the torrent of falling leaves and snapping branches made their suffering obvious.
The soul attack inflicted immense pain, while the soul curse amplified the damage they would endure.
Then came ten consecutive explosions.
The entire forest shook violently.
More than a dozen mother trees collapsed with thunderous crashes.
Their enormous trunks—over fifty meters thick and more than a thousand meters tall—toppled like pillars holding up the heavens.
The undead army rushed forward, intercepting the falling mother trees before they could strike the ground.
Stripped of their usual resilience, these mother trees were easily torn apart.
"Using their own bodies against them... interesting."
Lin Moyu found the situation mildly amusing.
The trees he used for Corpse Explosion were all derived from the mother trees.
Although they belonged to the mother trees and lacked independent souls, they strangely possessed independent life.
The arrangement resembled the Zerg, though it was not entirely the same.
Whether they possessed souls was irrelevant. What mattered was that they were living beings capable of dying.
And anything that could die could serve as material for Corpse Explosion.
Another massive blast erupted.
This time, dozens of mother trees were destroyed.
Lin Moyu immediately used the newly fallen mother trees as fuel for the next round of explosions.
Mother trees of the same realm could not survive even a single blast.
One explosion followed another.
Each detonation felled large numbers of mother trees.
Although there were a thousand mother trees spread across a vast area, their numbers meant little under Lin Moyu's continuous bombardment.
Sensing the threat, the mother trees reacted.
The ground trembled violently and split open as roots that had occupied the underground for countless years intertwined together.
At that moment, the power of all the mother trees converged.
The law of wood erupted, and the entire forest rumbled loudly.
A sudden sense of danger struck Lin Moyu.
Alarm bells rang in his mind.
At the same time, the Bagua Compass in Emperor Di's hand began vibrating violently once more.
"Retreat!"
Lin Moyu reacted instantly. Grabbing Emperor Di, he retreated at top speed.
The moment they pulled back, green light erupted from the mother trees.
Every mother tree was enveloped in green radiance.
Within Lin Moyu's sight, a colossal green tree emerged, towering high above the mother trees themselves.
Its branches and leaves spread across the sky, covering nearly half the forest.
With a single glance, Lin Moyu recognized that it was not a physical entity but a manifestation of the law of wood itself.
The law aura surrounding it was unimaginably dense.
The warning signals in Lin Moyu's mind reached their peak, screaming that the green tree was extraordinarily dangerous.
Emperor Di stared in shock, "This is a law domain.”
Recognition flashed through Lin Moyu's mind.
Antares had once mentioned such a thing.
When a person comprehended a law to its limit and fused it with their own will, a law domain would be formed.
Within that domain, the power of the corresponding law was amplified many times over.
It represented the pinnacle of power within the Transcendent God realm.
To Lin Moyu, the threat posed by this law domain was even greater than the Bloodthirsty Bees' soul manifestation.
At that moment, the green tree of law erupted outward. Its range expanded instantly, enveloping the entire forest and trapping both Lin Moyu and Emperor Di within.
Leaves and branches formed from the materialized law and rained down upon the undead army.
In an instant, a torrential storm of law swept across the forest.
As the rain of law struck the undead, green light flashed across their bodies, and branches began sprouting from them.
Branches growing from skeletons created a bizarre and unsettling sight.
The branches rapidly spread, wrapping around the skeletons as they attempted to drain their life force.
Unfortunately for the green tree, skeletons were undead creatures. Their life force was unique and could not be extracted.
The green tree quickly realized this and began trembling.
The branches covering the skeletons instantly transformed into vines, coiling tightly around them and constricting with overwhelming force.
A series of explosive bangs echoed through the air.
Skeletons burst apart one after another, scattering white bones across the air before crashing to the ground.
The power of the vines far exceeded Lin Moyu's expectations.
He had never imagined they could surpass the skeletons' endurance limit, bypass his talents, and destroy them outright.
To instantly kill the skeletons, the vines' attack power had to be at least at Transcendent God 9th tier, perhaps even at the True God realm.
If he were caught by those vines himself and unable to escape, he likely wouldn't survive for long either.
His talents were extraordinarily powerful, but even they had limits.
The rain of law grew heavier, and the skeletons shielding Lin Moyu were destroyed one after another.
Yet every time they were blasted apart, they rapidly resurrected, returning once more to guard him.
Lin Moyu attempted to lock onto the green tree but quickly discovered it was impossible.
The tree was not a living being—it was merely a manifestation of law.
He immediately shifted his focus to the mother trees.
To his surprise, his soul lock failed there as well.
The law domain protected the mother trees, preventing him from targeting them.
Law domains were extremely mysterious.
It was Lin Moyu's first encounter with one, and for a moment, he could think of no effective countermeasure.
Without hesitation, he commanded a massive contingent of the undead army to charge toward the green tree.
The giant tree swayed gently, summoning a green gale.
The entire undead force was blown backward, unable to resist the immense force carried by the wind.
At the same time, the rain of law continued to pour down.
Green branches sprouted from the undead at the front before they were torn apart and reduced to fragments.
Lin Moyu grabbed Emperor Di.
With a powerful beat of his Deathwings, the two vanished without a trace.
