Chapter 498: The True Use Of Enhance Power

Lin Moyu suddenly had a revelation.

Excitement surged through him as he swung his axe, clashing with the Savagefang Beast King.

Thanks to his vastly superior attributes, the Savagefang Beast King was completely overwhelmed.

After landing a powerful blow with Berserk Strike, Lin Moyu followed up with a flurry of regular attacks.

Three minutes later, the Savagefang Beast King was in a miserable state, its body battered, its health nearly depleted.

If it weren’t a boss with an enormous health pool, it would have died a number of times by now.

With Lin Moyu's current attributes, he could kill ordinary monsters of the same level in a single strike.

Eventually, the Savagefang Beast King let out a furious, agonized roar and turned to flee.

Lin Moyu didn’t pursue. His skill's duration was nearly up.

“Since it was a good sparring partner, I’ll let it go.”

A level 73 world rank boss no longer meant anything to him.

Killing ten, or even a hundred, of bosses of its caliber didn’t compare to defeating a single level 80 world rank boss.

Returning to Shenxia City, Lin Moyu began pondering the idea that had sparked during battle.

“Focus Power, on the surface, simply boosts attributes—and it has a cap.”

“Even after using it, I only match the attributes of a level 80 world rank boss. Impressive on paper, but without the skills to match, it’s actually underwhelming.”

“Plus, with only a five-minute duration, it seems far less practical than Enhance Troops.”

“Its true value isn’t in the present... but in the future.” Lin Moyu murmured to himself as he sorted through this new train of thought.

“First, during the third class awakening, I could use this skill to break past the base attribute ceiling, dramatically increasing the odds of class sublimation.”

“Second, at higher levels, it might push my base attributes beyond 10 million... touching the threshold of God-level power.”

Meng Anwen had once told him: reaching 10 million in attributes was the key to God-level strength—at least a form of it.

Of course, there was a difference between genuine God-level and what was known as fake God-level.

All level 90 fake God-level powerhouses had exactly 10 million in attributes—no more, no less.

They used special methods to hit that threshold, but doing so sealed their potential forever. They’d never surpass it.

Lin Moyu had no interest in that kind of dead end.

But Focus Power offered him a rare opportunity: to experience God-level strength without sacrificing his future.

And that alone made the skill incredibly valuable.

“But there’s one more possibility... maybe its most important function...”

“It could help me become a Transcendent God-level powerhouse.”

Lin Moyu’s fists clenched involuntarily.

The thought had shocked him at first. But the more he explored it, the more real it felt.

According to Antares, once someone reached level 98 and fully comprehended the path forward, they could reach Transcendent God-level if even one base attribute exceeded 10 million.

Not total attributes, but just one base attribute.

Lin Moyu had never felt confident in achieving that.

But now, with Focus Power, he saw a glimmer of hope.

Lin Moyu had already sorted out his thoughts. The opportunity was promising, and there was a strong possibility of success.

His eyes gleamed with confidence, “But there’s still a prerequisite: I need to retain the skill.”

“The Primordial Space... how do I keep the skill?”

A Primordial Rune functioned as both a powerful skill and a key to enter the Primordial Space.

Everyone who obtained a Primordial Rune had to enter that secret realm before reaching the God-level.

Otherwise, upon advancing to God-level, the Primordial Rune would vanish, and with it, the skill.

To retain the skill permanently, one had to enter the Primordial Space.

But entry alone wasn’t enough.

Most people still lost their skills after entering the secret realm—some even lost them earlier than expected.

There were cases where individuals acquired a Primordial Rune at level 50-plus, entered the Primordial Space at level 60-plus, only to emerge empty-handed.

A powerful skill that could have lasted all the way until just before reaching God-level ended up being lost far too soon.

This made the decision of when to enter the Primordial Space a difficult one.

Many held off until level 89, clinging to hope until the final moment.

Records of the Primordial Space were extremely rare.

Very few individuals were ever qualified to enter the secret realm—only a handful each century—and those who did avoid talking about what they experienced.

As a result, reliable information remained exceedingly limited.

Lin Moyu was still uncertain about when to enter the Primordial Space.

Now that he was in the lower layer—the same layer where the Primordial Space was located—he could go at any time. But the decision wasn’t so simple.

After a moment of contemplation, he took out Antares’ Dragon Bead and channeled his spirit force into it. “Antares,” he called.

There was no response.

The Primordial Space was located in the lower layer.

Now that he was also in the lower layer, he could go it he wanted to.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Moyu took out Antares’ Dragon Bead, using his spirit force to communicate, “Antares.”

He called several times, but there was no response.

However, Lin Moyu knew that Antares could definitely hear him.

There was a mysterious connection between the Dragon Bead and Antares, allowing communication through it.

After calling several more times, Antares’s lazy voice finally sounded.

With a hint of displeasure in his tone, he said, “You’re disturbing my sleep. I’m in a very bad mood.”

Lin Moyu didn’t care about his mood and asked directly, “Do you know about the Primordial Space?”

Antares snorted coldly, “Of course I know. There’s nothing in this world that I don’t know...”

Lin Moyu said, “Then can you tell me about the Primordial Space?”

“No!”Antares refused outright.

His blunt reply gave Lin Moyu something to chew on.

Considering how scarce the information on the Primordial Space was, and the reactions of those who had entered it, he wondered whether they didn't want to talk, or they couldn’t talk.

Lin Moyu sighed softly, his tone slightly helpless, “So you’re the same.”

“What do you mean the same?” Antares didn’t understand what Lin Moyu meant.

Lin Moyu replied, "None of the great figures in history have dared to speak the Primordial Space. I had thought that, given your status, you’d be an exception. But it seems you’re the same—not daring to speak of it."

"What nonsense are you spouting? What is there that I wouldn't dare to do!" Antares flew into a rage.

Lin Moyu actually dared to look down on him.

Antares, furious, said, “The Primordial Space is just some trial set up by that guy. According to…”

At this point, Antares suddenly stopped, then shouted: "You little rascal, you're trying to trick me."

Lin Moyu smiled faintly. “You’re overthinking it.”

Of course, he would never admit it.

Antares snorted, "You little rascal, if you ever dare to trick me again, I’ll burn you to ashes with a Dragon Breath.”

The corner of Lin Moyu’s mouth curled up slightly. Anyway, he’d already gotten a bit of information.

Who exactly was that guy?

Someone who Antares would refer to in such a manner was certainly no weakling.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, then shamelessly spoke again, "I've obtained another Primordial Rune. Do you think it's better for me to enter the Primordial Space now or later?"

“What? You got another Primordial Rune?” Antares was slightly surprised.

Very few things in this world could surprise him anymore.

But he quickly calmed down, “There have been quite a few people who have obtained two Primordial Runes. But correspondingly, the difficulty of retaining the skills increases.”

From that, Lin Moyu gleaned more information.

“So should I go now or later?”

“Of course later. Why the hell would you go now?” Antares replied casually.

Lin Moyu quickly followed up, “Then when is the best time to go?”

Antares chuckled, “When to go... I’ll tell you during our next deal.”

With that, the light on the Dragon Bead instantly extinguished.

Antares cut off the communication, clearly hinting for Lin Moyu to return.

If he wanted the answer, he had to complete the current deal first.

From the conversation, Lin Moyu had already grasped two key points.

First, there was a trial in the Primordial Space, and to retain your skills, you had to pass it.

Second, after obtaining two Primordial Runes, the difficulty of the trial in the secret realm would increase significantly.

From the second point, he could infer that if he obtained another Primordial Rune, the trial difficulty would increase even further.

However, Lin Moyu had never considered obtaining three Primordial Runes. No one in history had ever achieved that.
