Chapter 740: A Freak Wielding Freakish Law Arts

Even Lin Moyu, as the originator of it all, was momentarily stunned.

“How is it this massive?” He murmured.

The eye, over 100,000 meters wide, blanketed an area hundreds of kilometers across.

Its true power remained unknown, but its sheer range far surpassed anything he had seen before.

Seeing his shocked expression, Antares burst into laughter, “Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world. What’s so surprising?”

“In the greater world, powerhouses cast law arts that span tens of millions of kilometers. Covering multiple worlds at once is nothing unusual.”

Antares’s words snapped Lin Moyu out of his daze.

Lin Moyu said quietly, “That’s the greater world. We’re in a small world. Even Transcendent God-level law arts shouldn’t be this large, right?”

Antares hummed in agreement, “They shouldn’t. Which is why your law art is quite dreadful. I just wonder how powerful it really is.”

The colossal eye slowly opened. Its elongated shape revealed an eyeball over 30,000 meters in diameter.

At the center of the pupil burned a raging silver-white undeath fire.

Within it flickered a faint gray aura, the aura of the law of undeath.

The eye felt lifeless, like the deepest, most stagnant void, saturated with the aura of death.

Yet deep within that aura of death, there seemed to exist life.

Undead beings belonged to death, yet also transcended it.

The contradiction was impossible to grasp without experiencing it firsthand.

Guided by Lin Moyu’s will, the Undead Eye turned toward Antares.

Antares instantly tensed, as though something terrifying had locked onto him.

The sensation came from the soul, leaving him somewhat uneasy.

Despite his immense strength, Antares actually felt danger from the Undead Eye.

And Lin Moyu, just what level was he at now…

The implication was clear: the law art’s potential was beyond comprehension.

A moment later, Antares felt a prick in his soul. Not painful, but unmistakable.

This time, he was truly shocked. He stared at Lin Moyu in disbelief.

First, he felt a threat to his soul, and now he even felt as if his soul was attacked.

The power of this law art defied all expectations.

“How is it?” Lin Moyu asked, already reading the answer in Antares’s expression.

Antares replied, “From what I can tell, it can instantly kill anything below level 96. It can even injure those at level 96.”

The law art’s power depended on Lin Moyu’s soul strength, yet it clearly exceeded his current soul strength.

With a level 94 soul rank, casting Undead Gaze could instantly kill level 95 experts and wound level 96 experts.

It was terrifying.

More importantly, Lin Moyu sensed the law of undeath from within.

The law had truly manifested, giving him a reference for studying it.

All the skills he had were powerful. That had been true before, and after evolving into star-grade law arts, it was still true.

The greater world rune had tried to suppress him, preventing his law arts from bearing laws.

Yet his law arts had produced a law of their own.

Once again, he had bypassed the great world rune’s suppression.

Confidence surged within him.

With a faint smile, Lin Moyu said, “I’ll go move another one.”

The gloom left behind by the greater world rune’s curse vanished in that moment.

Lin Moyu was filled with anticipation for his skills. So was Antares.

The Undead Eye still hung in the sky. Without Lin Moyu’s command, it didn’t attack again.

Antares stared at it, sensing the law of undeath within.

“This law…”

“It’s powerful. Death and life both exist within it.”

“But how have I never heard of it? That shouldn’t be possible.”

“The greater world contains countless laws. Even if I hadn’t seen them, I should have at least heard of them. How strange.”

Antares couldn’t figure it out. His head started to ache from thinking about it, so he simply stopped thinking.

He even tried to comprehend the law of undeath—not with the intent to master it, but simply to grasp a bit of it and play around with it.

Just like he did with the law of life or the elemental laws.

But it was futile. He felt fundamentally incompatible with the law of undeath.

He couldn’t grasp even the slightest trace.

The principle of “master one law, and you can comprehend a hundred” had failed him here.

“Brat, you’re strange, your class is strange, your skills are strange, and now even your law is strange.”

“You’re really a freak.”

While grumbling, Antares returned to Lin Moyu’s soul world to wait for the next skill star core.

…

In the Demon Emperor’s Palace, the Succubus Queen stood frozen, her eyes wide, her mouth agape.

The Demon Emperor was half-human. She was nothing more than expendable cannon fodder. And the Abyss here was only a fragment world…

Each revelation struck her like a hammer, shattering everything she believed.

Demon Emperor Lilian looked at her, “Do you know why I chose you?”

The Succubus Queen shook her head blankly, “I don’t.”

“Because you’re relatively pleasing to look at.”

The Succubus Queen stiffened, blurting out, “That’s it? It’s that simple?”

“What else would it be? Once I leave this place and enter the greater world, I’ll need someone at my side.”

“I’m offering you that chance.”

From Demon Emperor Lilian’s words, the Succubus Queen had already grasped the truth: the Abyss was finished.

Every Abyss Demon in this fragment world was destined to become expendable, mere cannon fodder.

Only the Demon Emperor could survive.

The Succubus Queen didn’t want to die either. She had lived for more than a century, yet it still wasn’t enough.

And beyond survival, she also craved greater power.

“Thank you, Lady Demon Emperor!” The Succubus Queen said, prostrating herself on the floor in reverence.

Lilian seemed pleased with the Succubus Queen’s attitude, “Serve me well, and you won’t regret it.”

The Succubus Queen asked, “Lady Demon Emperor, you said Lin Moyu will enter the Abyss. Don’t we need to do anything?”

“There’s nothing we need to do. But doing nothing won’t do either. When the time comes, we’ll cooperate and put on a show, tossing him some fodder.”

“He currently needs EXP to level up. Killing Dragonkind and Demons is far more efficient than killing monsters or clearing dungeons.”

“Let’s put the cannon fodder to good use.”

To the Demon Emperor, the lives of Abyss Demons held no value at all.

In that moment, the Succubus Queen felt a flicker of relief. If she hadn’t been chosen, she too would have been among the cannon fodder.

The Demon Emperor pointed with her finger, and a roar came from the Dragon King below the palace.

A streak of crimson light flew into the palace. Only Demon Emperor Lilian could treat Dragon King blood as wine.

“Care for a cup? Dragon King blood is quite decent.”

The Succubus Queen hesitated, unease flickering in her eyes, “May I?”

“Of course.” Lilian laughed softly, and another cup of Dragon King Blood drifted toward the Succubus Queen.

The liquid swirled in the cup, reflecting the Succubus Queen’s pale yet strikingly alluring face.

…

Another skill star core had been moved over.

Lin Moyu braced himself and began the self-abuse process once more.

This time, Antares dropped his usual levity and focused entirely on the task.

After three consecutive activations of his talent, the skill star core was finally full.

It shimmered brilliantly, beginning its final transformation.

“The fifth star… I wonder what it will be.” Lin Moyu murmured.

Antares snorted, “Whatever it is, it’ll be something freakish. A freak wielding freakish law arts—fitting.”

Lin Moyu scoffed softly and ignored him, letting him ramble on as he pleased.
