Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1221: Great Harvest, This Trip is Complete**

The Scourge Scepter, upon learning its name, Lin Muyu seemed to see an endless horde of undead, surging like an apocalyptic disaster. The entire world was shrouded in the end of death, with destruction looming.

Lin Muyu shivered all over, almost dropping the Scourge Scepter.

He felt that what he was holding was not just an indescribable magical treasure, but an object terrifying enough to destroy the entire great world.

Calming his mind, Lin Muyu took a deep breath, inhaling a large amount of Shuojin essence, and exhaled layers of purple threads from his mouth. Not only did he not throw away the Scourge Scepter, but he held it even tighter.

“Whether it’s a scourge or an apocalypse, it depends on who uses it.”

“If one day, a true disaster is to be brought, it will be led by me.”

“My existence will be the disaster for all other races.”

Lin Muyu said solemnly, word by word, with determination.

In a great battle, the core gemstone of the Scourge Scepter was shattered into five pieces.

The five gemstones—gold, silver, purple, gray, and white—each had different functions, though their powers were intertwined yet relatively independent.

The purple gemstone in his hand contained the ability to enhance the soul, known as the Soul Gem.

The Shuojin essence was just the overflow of its power, inheriting the ability to enhance the soul.

Subsequently, the Shuojin essence spread throughout the starry sky, forming a unique region.

Over the years, the Shuojin essence divided into yin and yang sides. The yang side became Shuojin, an excellent material.

The yin side became Gold-Silver Stone, containing deadly poison, capable of corroding everything and killing invisibly.

Everything in the world has yin and yang, black and white, which Lin Muyu had long understood.

His Undead Law was the most typical example.

Knowing the origin of this region, Lin Muyu realized that after taking the Soul Gem, this region would cease to exist in a few years.

With the source gone, it couldn’t be maintained for long.

But what did that matter to him? He couldn’t leave the Scourge Scepter here.

Such a treasure, on par with the runes of the great world, would be foolish not to take.

“The consciousness of the scepter fell into a deep sleep during the great battle, and it’s unknown when it will awaken.”

“The five gemstones are scattered, their whereabouts unknown. Finding them will be extremely difficult, depending on fate.”

Although the Scourge Scepter couldn’t be used yet, its level was so high that it could still play a role. Unlike the Shuojin essence, which only enhanced soul defense, the purple Soul Gem contained more comprehensive abilities.

It could increase the soul’s ability to comprehend laws, fundamentally enhancing it.

Over time, the soul’s understanding of various laws would greatly increase, making cultivation easier.

This was very important, and Lin Muyu was well aware of it.

In his eyes, this function was more important than enhancing soul defense.

Suppressing his inner joy, Lin Muyu murmured, “As expected of something on the same level as the runes of the great world, even with the spirit of the treasure in a deep sleep and the core gemstone shattered, it still has such powerful effects.”

“Anyone who obtains it will treat it as a supreme treasure.”

“My understanding of the Undead Law is not slow, but the comprehension of laws becomes slower in the later stages.”

“Especially after reaching the third rank of the God King, with the law comprehension halfway through, each rank advancement takes centuries.”

“After reaching the seventh rank of the God King, it takes even longer, sometimes thousands of years to advance a rank.”

“Countless people are stuck at the God King level, unable to reach the God Sovereign level. One reason is the lack of soul quality, and the other is the difficulty in comprehending laws.”

“Upon reaching the God Sovereign level, with the law comprehension at 100%, the laws manifest and enter the Law Star River, starting the struggle for the Great Dao, making it even more difficult.”

“At that time, understanding other laws becomes crucial, and the ability to comprehend laws becomes even more important.”

The soul’s ability to comprehend laws largely determines the achievable upper limit.

Although Lin Muyu hadn’t reached that level yet, through reading materials and his own analysis, he had made some guesses.

Therefore, the higher the cultivation level, the more important the soul’s comprehension ability becomes.

Unless one follows the path of pure physical sanctification, this point cannot be ignored.

With a flash of light, the Scourge Scepter disappeared, reappearing in the soul world, held by the soul.

A warm feeling flowed from the Scourge Scepter, making the soul feel as if it were in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.

The soul exhaled a long breath, its thoughts becoming exceptionally clear, and its understanding of laws more profound. Having just reached the sixth rank of the True God, it now advanced another step, nearing the seventh rank of the True God.

Moreover, after reaching the sixth rank of the True God, there were still some unclear points in the understanding of laws, which now became crystal clear.

With this, if another massacre occurred, relying on the dual original spells’ ability to absorb souls, it could completely advance to the seventh rank of the True God.

A slight smile appeared on his lips, “This trip has been very rewarding.”

Although there were some twists and turns, the harvest far exceeded expectations.

Not only did he obtain the Shuojin essence as desired, greatly enhancing his soul defense.

He also unexpectedly obtained the purple Soul Gem, revealing the true form of the Scourge Scepter and allowing it to play a role.

As the purple gemstone disappeared, the light cluster was gradually dissipating.

The dissipation was slow, and at this rate, it would take at least a hundred years.

What happens in a hundred years is none of his concern.

Leaving the Shuojin Source Star, the starry sky was calm.

The Devouring Gold Beasts were all dead, and Lin Muyu’s eyes showed some contemplation.

He still didn’t know where the Devouring Gold Beasts came from.

But similarly, it didn’t matter to him.

He summoned the Golden Eagle God King, who had been hiding in the distance.

At this moment, the Golden Eagle God King was emitting green smoke, and its golden body had long lost its luster.

The poison near the Shuojin Source Star was too strong for it to resist.

If it hadn’t been continuously using anti-poison treasures, it would have died long ago.

Now it had reached its limit, and if Lin Muyu had come out any later, it would have died.

But as a resurrected being, without Lin Muyu’s command, it wouldn’t leave even if it died.

Lin Muyu flicked a strand of the Undead Law, transforming it into the power of life, washing over its entire body.

The feathers regained vitality, and the golden light shone again.

Lin Muyu stood on its back, “Let’s go back.”

With a command, the Golden Eagle God King roared towards the direction they came from.

Shortly after Lin Muyu left, a phantom appeared in the small cave at the core of the Shuojin Source Star.

The phantom wore green clothes embroidered with cloud patterns, exuding nobility.

He looked somewhat similar to Tian Zihan, with a delicate horn on his head.

Like Tian Zihan, he was a member of the Starry Sky Spirit Clan.

The phantom looked at the Shuojin essence, his eyes filled with contemplation, “Tian Zihan perished here.”

“There is a lot of soul origin energy here… Did Tian Zihan really find the Soul Gem?”

“But where is this place?”

“The laws here are strange, seemingly not belonging to the normal starry sky.”

“But besides Tian Zihan, there seems to be someone else’s presence here. I’ll remember this presence; maybe I can find it in the future.”

He scanned the surroundings with a puzzled look.

He was clearly restricted by something, unable to leave or determine his location.

In the end, he sighed and gradually disappeared.

After he left, the small space underwent new changes.

In the purple light cluster, a black dot appeared.

The black dot was like a black hole, seemingly connected to another world, with unusual light emanating from it.
