Catastrophic necromancer

**Chapter 2456: I’ll Go First**

The wind blew against the fish bone, producing a knocking sound. Amidst the sound, everyone’s souls trembled. In Lin Moyu’s soul world, the Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal breathed dragon breath, purifying his soul and keeping it pure.

The forest became completely silent, and all living beings fell into a strange state, as if they were asleep. The dragon and insect races almost simultaneously began to fight, clashing fiercely. At this moment, no matter how intense the battle was, it would not affect the forest.

With the knocking sound, all the fierce winds were swept away by the fish bone. At this moment, someone realized they could ascend the altar. All the Celestial Sovereigns acted simultaneously, rushing towards the altar. The wind swirled in the sky, and they did not dare to fly or even jump too high, so they could only run on the ground.

Lu Fengyao whispered, “Lin Xiaodi, it might get chaotic soon. I might not be able to protect you, so be careful.”

She was being honest; no one knew what would happen next. In the chaos, she couldn’t guarantee Lin Moyu’s safety. Lin Moyu smiled, “Don’t worry, Sister Fengyao, I’ll be fine. You be careful too.”

Lu Fengyao nodded slightly, “Then let’s go!”

The two of them ran towards the altar, but they were a step late. By the time they moved, someone had already reached the edge of the altar. Ready, he stepped onto the altar steps! The previous gentle breeze did not appear, and the person showed a joyful expression, “It’s safe!”

After the altar activated, the fish bone swept away the wind, and there was no more Dao Wind on the steps. He continued upward with joy. Seeing that he was fine, the other Celestial Sovereigns couldn’t wait to step onto the steps. Everyone rushed towards the altar, as if whoever reached it first would gain the greatest benefit.

Lin Moyu was not in a hurry; he knew it wouldn’t be that simple. Moreover, the state of these Celestial Sovereigns was a bit strange, as if they were affected by something. Looking at Lu Fengyao, her eyes also showed some inexplicable changes, as if she was a bit anxious. Lin Moyu’s heart sank, “This altar affects people’s minds!”

The state of the Celestial Sovereigns was definitely abnormal; they shouldn’t be so eager. Because of his previous experience, Lin Moyu was not affected. The first person to step onto the steps quickly reached one-third of the way up. When he stepped onto the seventh step, his body suddenly tilted, and half of his body turned to powder. He fell with a scream, quickly taking out a pill and swallowing it to reshape his body.

His appearance made everyone freeze on the spot. Suddenly, those who were rushing slowed down. Someone shouted, “Be careful, this altar is strange; it can confuse the mind!”

Finally, a high-level Celestial Sovereign realized something was wrong and shouted, shocking everyone. Most of the Celestial Sovereigns woke up with this shout, but a few still couldn’t stay calm. From this, one could see the soul realm of each person.

Lu Fengyao’s delicate body trembled, her eyes became clear, and she quickly took out a jade bead and activated it. The jade bead glowed, enveloping her. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, “The means of a Dao Sovereign are indeed terrifying; I was unknowingly affected!”

Lin Moyu also smiled, “Yes, Dao Sovereigns are indeed terrifying!”

Lu Fengyao was suddenly surprised, “You weren’t affected?”

Lin Moyu said softly, “I’m fine!”

Lu Fengyao couldn’t help but look at Lin Moyu again. She felt that this little brother always surprised her. Although he didn’t have the background of the Origin Continent, with his talent, he would surely achieve great things once he entered the Origin Continent.

Lu Fengyao had no doubt that Lin Moyu would become a Dao Sovereign in the future, and not an ordinary one. Her thoughts quickly turned, and Lin Moyu’s status in her heart rose again. The two of them came to the edge of the altar. The eighteen steps were not high, but they seemed like a chasm, blocking everyone.

Dozens of Celestial Sovereigns stood in different positions, looking at the fish bone on the altar, so close yet unreachable. Lu Fengyao also looked at the fish bone and transmitted her voice, “The Dao Patterns on it are not simple; they are not from an ordinary Dao Sovereign.”

With her vast knowledge, she immediately recognized that the Dao Patterns on the fish bone were extraordinary. Even among Dao Sovereigns, there were different levels, and the Dao Patterns on the fish bone were not from an ordinary Dao Sovereign. At this time, a Celestial Sovereign took out a puppet to explore the way and see what was going on.

The puppet stepped onto the seventh step and was instantly blown to powder by an invisible breeze. After a while, he took out a second puppet. This time, the puppet successfully stepped onto the seventh step but turned to powder on the eighth step. Using puppets to explore the way made many Celestial Sovereigns’ eyes light up, and they immediately followed suit. Although puppets were not cheap, it was better than risking their lives.

Lin Moyu and Lu Fengyao stepped onto the steps together. Now the situation was such that there was no need to rush; everyone was taking turns exploring. Only when it was confirmed safe would they dare to continue upward. When Lin Moyu stepped onto the steps, he paused for a moment and smiled.

When they reached the seventh step, Lin Moyu suddenly said, “Sister Fengyao, I’ll go first.”

Then, under Lu Fengyao’s shocked gaze, Lin Moyu walked up step by step. The eighth step, the ninth step… Lin Moyu walked as if on flat ground, ignoring the danger. The Celestial Sovereigns were astonished, “He can go up?”

“Is it safe now?”

Immediately, someone followed. There was no danger on the eighth step, then the ninth step…

The first Celestial Sovereign to go up screamed and retreated again. The Dao Wind was still there, still deadly. Some Celestial Sovereigns didn’t believe it and tested with puppets, finding they couldn’t go up. But Lin Moyu walked up without danger, quickly reaching the fifteenth step, almost at the top.

“Why is he fine?”

“How did he do it?”

“What did he do in front of the altar before? He must have done something!”

Everyone looked at Lu Fengyao with unfriendly eyes, as if questioning her. Lu Fengyao snorted coldly, “What are you looking at? Want to spar with me?”

A sword hum sounded, and she took out a sharp sword with a Dao Pattern on it, a Dao Sovereign-level artifact. With a Dao Sovereign-level artifact in hand, Lu Fengyao’s aura became extremely fierce. With the jade bead for protection and the sword to slay enemies, Lu Fengyao feared no Celestial Sovereign.

“Dao Sovereign-level artifact!”

“The Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce is indeed wealthy, taking out a Dao Sovereign-level artifact so easily.”

“What is her status in the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce to have a Dao Sovereign-level artifact?”

Everyone quickly turned their heads, pretending nothing had happened. Their cowardice was evident. Lu Fengyao looked at Lin Moyu, who had already reached the top, with a complex expression, “How did you discover it?”

At that time, Lin Moyu had done it right under her nose, squeezing out some essence blood and dripping it onto the altar, then telling her about it. She never expected Lin Moyu could ignore the danger and go straight to the altar. She increasingly felt Lin Moyu was extraordinary, surpassing the geniuses she had seen before.

“It seems I need to win him over more!” Lu Fengyao thought to herself about how to win over Lin Moyu.
