Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 1265: Actually, My Strongest Ability is Defense**

Huo De was defeated, but compared to the previous challengers, he fared much better.

At least he wasn’t instantly killed and even forced Lin Moyu to retreat temporarily.

At that moment, Huo De proved his strength, but he also validated the accuracy of the Human Emperor Network.

Lin Moyu summoned an even more powerful skeleton, cleanly and efficiently defeating Huo De, the God King.

When Huo De emerged from the small room, his eyes did not show any disappointment.

It seemed he didn’t care much about winning or losing, or perhaps he had already anticipated his defeat.

Surprisingly, he nodded towards Lin Moyu, acknowledging him. He no longer had any objections to Lin Moyu replacing him in the top 10 of the combat power list.

Huo De returned to Han Yu’s side and said in a low voice, “I lost. That guy is ridiculously strong, and he hasn’t even used his full strength.”

Huo De had a hot temper but wasn’t stupid.

Having fought Lin Moyu, he had the most authority to speak on the matter.

Han Yu nodded, “I can see that. Losing was inevitable; I just didn’t want to lose too badly.”

Huo De grinned, “It’s been a long time since I had such a satisfying fight. It felt pretty good.”

Han Yu chuckled, “It’s my turn now.”

With that, he left the group and walked towards Lin Moyu.

When he reached the small room, Han Yu didn’t enter. Instead, he spoke to Lin Moyu, “Junior Brother Lin, I want to see your full strength.”

His tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, sounding both like a request and a demand.

Lin Moyu shook his head, “Not here.”

Lin Moyu didn’t directly refuse but said it couldn’t be done here.

The key phrase was “not here,” referring to the Human Emperor Network.

It couldn’t be done in the Human Emperor Network.

This indicated that Lin Moyu’s strongest combat power wasn’t the Skeleton King but something that couldn’t be used in the Human Emperor Network. Han Yu speculated it might be a powerful magical treasure.

Han Yu couldn’t guess that Lin Moyu wasn’t referring to a magical treasure but his original spell.

The Human Emperor Network couldn’t handle stellar-level original spells and couldn’t simulate them.

Previously, the Human Emperor Network could simulate original spells before they reached the stellar level.

But now, it couldn’t. Lin Moyu had already tried; as soon as he entered the Human Emperor Network arena, his original spell was blocked and couldn’t be sensed.

The essence of the original spell was too strong, exceeding the limits of the Human Emperor Network.

Han Yu looked at Lin Moyu without disappointment. The fact that Lin Moyu was willing to tell him this much was already good.

He pondered for a few seconds and sighed, “With your strength, you should be ranked higher than 10th.”

Lin Moyu chuckled, “The rankings should be updated soon.”

This time, he had displayed his full strength in area 7-77, all under the Human Emperor Network’s observation. The Human Emperor Network must have recorded his strongest combat power, and the combat power list would be updated soon.

Lin Moyu guessed that the rankings would be updated once the mission rewards were issued.

The two entered the small room, and the challenge began quickly.

Although Han Yu knew he would lose, he wouldn’t give up.

When the countdown ended, Han Yu was covered in ice, which rapidly expanded to envelop the entire arena.

Lin Moyu felt a chill, and white vapor emanated from his body.

In an instant, his body was frozen into an ice pillar, unable to move.

Han Yu didn’t use his law domain or defend; he chose to attack.

Using conventional tactics would guarantee defeat.

To deal with Lin Moyu, he had to take a different approach.

He judged that Lin Moyu’s spells were strong, but Lin Moyu himself was only at the sixth stage of True God.

He could completely eliminate Lin Moyu before he could cast his spells, not giving him a chance to use them.

Lin Moyu was frozen, unable to move, and Han Yu smiled slightly.

His hands moved like playing a piano, and countless ice arrows appeared around Lin Moyu.

The law-formed ice arrows shot towards Lin Moyu from all directions.

This attack reached the level of a fifth-stage God King. Even a fourth-stage God King would be severely injured if they took it head-on.

Lin Moyu, frozen in the ice, couldn’t move.

Just before the ice arrows reached him, the ice pillar shattered, exposing Lin Moyu to the ice arrows.

The ice law on the arrows became violent, giving Lin Moyu no chance to dodge, and they struck him.

The arrows exploded, creating layers of white vapor that covered the sky and engulfed Lin Moyu.

Outsiders couldn’t see, but as the master of the ice, Han Yu could sense Lin Moyu’s position.

At this moment, Han Yu’s law domain fully unfolded, covering the entire arena, turning it into a pure white ice world.

Countless ice arrows fell from the sky, emerged from the ground, or appeared out of thin air, making one’s scalp tingle.

The audience cheered for Han Yu’s attack, which seemed to leave Lin Moyu defenseless. It looked like Han Yu had the upper hand.

But in the arena, Han Yu frowned deeply.

He had unleashed his strongest attack, and if he were to win, he should have already won.

But the battle continued, indicating that Lin Moyu hadn’t been defeated.

At this moment, Lin Moyu’s voice slowly echoed, “I forgot to tell you, my strongest ability is defense.”

Han Yu’s eyes showed disbelief.

Lin Moyu’s spell attacks were already astonishing, and cultivators often focused on one aspect.

Of course, he believed Lin Moyu’s defense wouldn’t be weak, but to say it was stronger than his attack seemed exaggerated.

The audience couldn’t hear Lin Moyu’s voice, but they saw Han Yu’s sudden change in expression, realizing something was amiss.

In the pure white ice world, Lin Moyu walked out step by step, enduring the violent ice arrows.

When his figure appeared before Han Yu, Han Yu had to believe Lin Moyu’s words.

The ice arrows struck Lin Moyu, but an invisible force blocked them, shattering them.

It seemed like they hit Lin Moyu, but they didn’t cause any harm.

All attacks were weakened by 40,000 times and then shared by all the undead.

A fifth-stage God King’s attack was not a big deal for Lin Moyu.

The battle intent in Han Yu’s eyes gradually faded. He had given his all, but against an opponent like Lin Moyu, he had no chance of winning.

Lin Moyu smiled, “I can show you my strongest combat power in the Human Emperor Network.”

With a snap of his fingers, a magnificent, enormous, and exquisite Skeleton King throne appeared out of thin air.

The Skeleton King rose from the throne, standing ten thousand meters tall.

This was the strongest Skeleton King Lin Moyu could summon without using his original spell.

The Skeleton King had the combat power of a seventh-stage God King, and when using the God-Slaying Sword, it could unleash an attack close to the eighth stage of the God King realm.

Looking at the ten-thousand-meter-tall Skeleton King, Han Yu calmly said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The Skeleton King swung its massive bone sword, and the sword light exploded on Han Yu, completely engulfing him.

Han Yu’s consciousness returned to the small room, and he muttered to himself, “So this is what it feels like to be instantly killed. It’s not painful, seems okay.”

He pushed open the small room door but didn’t see Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu hadn’t come out yet, and Han Yu was puzzled, “What’s he doing?”

At this moment, Lin Moyu received a message from the Human Emperor Network.
