Chapter 794: Transcendent God 3rd Tier Are Merely Cannon Fodder |
In a dark corner of the greater world, a colossal eye slowly flickered open.
Light burst from within it, illuminating the dark starry sky.
As the eye opened, the starry sky itself trembled.
Not far away, a star emerged. Or rather, it had always been there, its surface buried beneath countless Zerg that smothered every trace of light.
Now, as the swarm stirred, the creatures raised their heads and unleashed long, piercing shrieks, allowing the star’s brilliance to seep through at last.
“Those who spy upon my race deserve to die!”
The eye’s soul-echo reverberated through the void.
In response, the endless Zerg roared with heightened ferocity. The eye’s will was their will.
The star began to drift forward, carrying the vast swarm as it flew into the distance.
In the final instant before it shut, the eye released one more soul-echo: “Those who spy upon my race deserve to die!”
…
Lin Moyu continued his journey through the deep layer, heading toward regions where the elements grew denser.
The scene he had witnessed lingered in his mind, refusing to fade.
After careful thought, he began to piece together a rough understanding.
That unimaginably vast web was woven from countless nodes, and he was merely a single node among them.
“If that web represents the Zerg lineage, like an ant colony in the Human World, then each node represents an individual or a group.”
“The weak lie at the outermost edges, while the strong layer inward, protecting their king.”
The conclusion sent a chill through him.
The resurrected was positioned at the very edge of that immense web.
Transcendent God 3rd tier strength… and yet only relegated to the periphery.
And the deeper one ventured toward the center, the more terrifying the entities would become.
Just how powerful were the Zerg?
Out there, even Transcendent God 3rd tier were nothing more than cannon fodder, not worthy of even possessing memories.
The giant eye’s sudden awakening, along with the sweeping soul attack it unleashed, had filled him with an overwhelming sense of danger.
Had he not withdrawn in time, his soul might have been obliterated.
Even his Comprehensive Rebirth talent might not have saved him.
The opponent was far too powerful, beyond anything he could comprehend.
“Was that a God King… or something even greater?”
With no concrete information, speculation was all he had.
Worse still, the being had reacted with extreme hostility, even using the word spy.
That implied his actions had affected the Zerg in some way or that what he had seen was a secret never meant to be revealed.
“If I could witness it again…”
The reckless thought flashed through his mind only to be immediately suppressed.
It was far too dangerous. A second attempt would likely be a one-way ticket to death.
Lost in thought, Lin Moyu suddenly stopped.
The surrounding space had changed.
The surrounding elements had surged dramatically, growing hundreds of times denser. Simply extending his hand, he could feel the presence of multiple elements.
He stepped back, and the density became thin again.
Thin, of course, was relative. Compared to the Human World, even this was extraordinarily rich.
He stepped forward again, and the concentration spiked once more.
Within the span of a single step, elemental density fluctuated by several hundred times.
The laws themselves strengthened in tandem, becoming nearly tangible.
If the previous region could be called a holy land for cultivation and law comprehension, then this place was nothing short of a divine land.
Here, the laws were not far from manifesting.
Cultivating in such an environment would make reaching high-tier God-level far easier than in the Human World.
Unfortunately, the deep layer was perilous beyond measure. Comprehending laws required absolute focus, yet no place here was truly safe.
The richer the elements, the greater the danger.
The abrupt shift in elemental density was a warning in itself.
Lin Moyu moved forward cautiously, releasing his soul force outward bit by bit, remaining on high alert.
A hundred meters ahead, a cluster of small hills came into view.
Each stood roughly a hundred meters tall, scattered like pieces on a chessboard.
Yet something about them felt off. Their peaks were perfectly rounded, and nearly every hill looked identical.
As his soul force extended and brushed against them, the hills suddenly trembled.
In an instant, the vibration escalated into a catastrophic quake.
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu took to the air.
Below him, the ground split apart, opening into yawning, bottomless fissures.
Amid the tremors, the hills stirred, rising as colossal beings of stone.
When lying still, they stood a hundred meters tall.
Now standing, they soared past five hundred, towering into the sky.
Dense elemental auras poured out from them.
Their bodies were divided by elements: fire in the left arm, water in the right, earth in the torso, wind in the legs.
Each element carried a law, and with it, power no lower than level 96.
By their auras alone, they rivaled high-tier God-level.
Among humans, only half-step Transcendent God-level could hope to defeat them.
However…
As the ground shook violently, an even greater giant awakened.
It towered seven hundred meters, clearly surpassing the others.
The aura it emanated reached half-step Transcendent God-level.
A single eye opened on their heads, locking firmly onto Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu raised a finger and cast Detection.
Whether it worked in the deep layer was uncertain, but habit prevailed.
Detection brushed forward like a passing breeze and returned with information.
[Element Giant]
[Level: 97]
[Ability: commands multiple elemental laws for offense.]
Detection still worked, though it had changed.
Attributes were gone, leaving only name, level, and ability.
This wasn’t the first time such a thing had happened, so Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised.
At this level, attributes seemed to fade in importance.
Even his summons no longer displayed them.
Nevertheless, they weren’t entirely unimportant either. They still served as a measure of strength.
As Antares had previously said, surpassing 10 million in any of the four attributes allowed one to break into Transcendent God-level.
Provided they were already level 99 and had grasped law to a sufficient degree.
It wasn’t as simple as hitting 10 million in attributes and reaching level 99 would instantly spell Transcendent God-level.
Attributes reflected power, not realm or level.
Lin Moyu’s thoughts drifted briefly to Detection itself.
Legend claimed it came from the Primordial Realm.
He once believed that. Now, he knew better.
Detection had no law art planet, no law art star, and its requirements were so low that almost everyone could use it.
It was definitely no ordinary technique.
Detection seemed to enrage the Element Giants. They roared, striking across the space.
Hundreds of massive fists materialized, each infused with elemental law, closing in from every direction.
There was no room to evade. But Lin Moyu had no intention of dodging anyway.
Such attacks couldn’t harm him.
Bone Armor flared, activating law art linkage.
Instantly, Bone Prisons bound the Elemental Giants.
Bone Fangs and Bone Spears erupted in succession.
As a four-star law art, their power was enough to wound the Elemental Giants.
But the Elemental Giants’ defenses were formidable. The damage remained shallow.
Enraged, the Elemental Giants roared and surged forward.
Elemental laws intertwined, streaking the sky with countless streams of light.
“It seems this won’t be enough.”
Lin Moyu snapped his fingers. A dense mist rolled in, and with it came thunderous roars.
