Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 2085: This is… the Great World

The cosmic tree realized this, and its heart filled with despair.

It was at the Other Shore realm, and its flesh held great allure for other cosmic beasts.

Usually when it was strong, the cosmic beasts revered it and obeyed its commands.

Now that it had become weak and on the verge of death, those cosmic beasts would devour it and eat it up.

There were countless cosmic beasts, with powerful strength, but they lacked intelligence.

Only a few cosmic beasts could awaken intelligence and think and grow like other living beings.

The vast majority of cosmic beasts only acted on instinct.

It watched helplessly as large numbers of cosmic beasts flew over from all directions, their eyes filled with undisguised greed.

The cosmic tree could only watch them approach, bringing death.

Boom!

An explosion sounded, and the cosmic tree heard screams as cosmic beasts were blasted away.

Then it saw the undead army, blocking all the approaching cosmic beasts.

Explosions continued nonstop, and those cosmic beasts were instantly blown to death, not a single one remaining.

Lin Moyu appeared before the cosmic tree, looking at it coldly, “Any last words?”

As someone he had known since the small world, Lin Moyu didn’t mind letting it leave some last words before death.

The cosmic tree seemed to have lost its anger, its voice becoming calm. Facing death, there was nothing it couldn’t let go of.

“No last words. I just can’t accept why I had to encounter you.”

“From the small world until now, how many years have passed? Why have you become so strong?”

“But you won’t live much longer either. As long as you continue cultivating the space rule, someone will come to kill you. It’s a Saint Venerable, you can’t escape.”

Lin Moyu shook his head, “You don’t even know who’s stopping you from cultivating the space rule. How pitiful.”

The cosmic tree’s soul flickered a few times, “You know?”

Lin Moyu said, “I know. And they’ve already made a move against me, but they failed. They can’t stop me.”

The cosmic tree’s voice became agitated again, roaring, “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Lin Moyu said, “Nothing is impossible. I was originally going to tell you, but since you don’t believe me, there’s no need to say more.”

As he spoke, wisps of white mist rose from his body, with faint dragon roars sounding.

Luck Transformation Dragon. Lin Moyu used the Luck Explosion technique, raising his luck to the limit.

At the same time, he began controlling the cosmic tree’s luck. The cosmic tree’s luck was extremely poor, with a value of only 1, dark gray, on the verge of death.

The difference in luck between them was huge. The Luck Explosion technique activated.

With a light crack, that was the last sound the cosmic tree heard.

Its soul collapsed, and its consciousness fell into endless darkness.

The cosmic tree died, dying under the Luck Explosion technique.

Lin Moyu quietly sensed, and found that causality had not changed at all.

The cosmic tree had not left any backup plans, so no causality was produced.

This was the best outcome. Lin Moyu did not like causality.

Causality was too heavy. Too much of it would be unbearable even for the great world, let alone himself.

Just as he was about to put away the cosmic tree’s corpse, Lin Moyu suddenly noticed something unusual.

Inside the cosmic tree’s body, there was actually something hidden.

This was the most core part of the cosmic tree, equivalent to a human’s heart. Yet something was hidden inside.

Lin Moyu took it out, surprise flashing in his eyes, “This is… a shell?”

What the cosmic tree had hidden in its body was actually a piece of shell.

Where there is sea, there are usually shells. The Starry Sky Merman Clan also liked to use shells, and they could refine shells into all kinds of magical treasures.

Yu Qingrou had once given Lin Moyu a communication device made from a shell. Within a certain range, they could communicate with each other.

But now finding a shell hidden in the cosmic tree’s body was rather strange.

Lin Moyu held the shell in his hand and examined it carefully, finding it had many similarities to the shell Yu Qingrou had given him.

“This shell should be a magical treasure, but there are no traces of it being refined.”

“Why did the cosmic tree keep it, and hide it so deeply?”

Lin Moyu was very puzzled. If the cosmic tree were still alive, he could ask.

But it was dead now.

Of course, he could use Revive the Dead to turn it into a revived being and ask, but whether he could successfully control it across such a large realm gap was questionable, and he had to consider if it was worth it.

Moreover, the cosmic tree might not know the answer.

The cosmic tree knew very little. Unlike humans with their vast inheritance, its information was too scarce.

Perhaps it had kept the shell simply because it was unusual, without necessarily knowing what the shell was for.

Just looking with the naked eye, nothing could be seen.

Compared to the Starry Sky Merman Clan’s shells, it was 70% similar, but there were differences.

Lin Moyu clearly sensed that this shell obtained by the cosmic tree was of a higher grade and quality than the one Yu Qingrou had given him.

From the shell, Lin Moyu felt a familiar aura.

He thought for a moment, and knew where the similarity lay.

“Inheritance pearl!”

Lin Moyu sensed an aura from the shell similar to the inheritance pearl of the Cloud Mist Sect.

The strong cultivators of ancient times liked to use pearls.

Of course, the pearls they used were not ordinary pearls.

Lin Moyu’s heart stirred, “Is there something recorded in here too?”

He carefully sent his soul power in. Though he felt there shouldn’t be any danger, Lin Moyu was still very cautious.

The soul power smoothly entered, and the shell began to glow faintly.

The light was beautiful, a deep blue, very enchanting.

“There’s something here!”

Lin Moyu continued injecting soul power, to see if he could fully activate the shell.

Time passed second by second. Lin Moyu injected more and more soul power, and the shell grew brighter and brighter, the area covered by light rapidly expanding.

Lin Moyu’s eyes grew more surprised. The soul power he had injected already exceeded his total soul power.

If not for the World Tree continuously replenishing his soul power, it would have been exhausted long ago.

But the shell still wasn’t fully activated. Lin Moyu could sense that it still needed more soul power.

As soon as he stopped, the shell would quickly dim.

Lin Moyu was determined. He wanted to see just how much soul power the shell could absorb.

At this point, he was completely certain the shell was extraordinary.

If it were an ordinary object, it would have been burst apart by his soul power long ago.

After a full ten minutes, the shell was finally fully activated. The light it emitted covered a vast area of space, reaching tens of millions of kilometers.

All the cosmic beasts in this region of space retreated. They seemed very afraid of the shell’s light.

Tens of millions of kilometers of space turned azure blue. Then Lin Moyu heard the sound of rushing water, and his nose became moist. At this moment, he had the illusion of being in the ocean.

Waves rippled, and in the blink of an eye, space was covered by ocean. Lin Moyu found himself truly in the ocean.

The ocean was not far below his feet, but for some reason, Lin Moyu felt this ocean was extremely dangerous.

Then, he saw a large sphere, drifting with the waves in the ocean.

The sphere was translucent, half above the water and half below, bobbing up and down.

The moment Lin Moyu saw the sphere, he could no longer look away. His body trembled slightly.

He opened his mouth and spoke with difficulty, “This is… the Great World!”
