Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3194: It’s Been a Long Time Since I Died

The flesh fragments slowly regenerated in the flames. The speed of flesh regeneration was slower than any previous time.

Su Pu was a pseudo-Great Dao realm being, so it was normal for his flesh to regenerate more slowly.

As long as he could regenerate, it was already half a success.

Lin Moyu was very patient, quietly waiting while carefully observing every detail.

After the flesh regenerated to a certain extent, it began to emit a powerful aura surpassing the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm.

The aura of the Great Dao realm spread throughout the palace. Fortunately, Lin Moyu had set up multiple measures beforehand, so this aura didn’t leak out.

Actually, the safest situation would have been for Lin Moyu to revive Su Pu in his own great world.

But Lin Moyu wasn’t sure if his great world could withstand a pseudo-Great Dao realm being like Su Pu.

Not only was he unsure about the great world, even his soul world needed to be considered.

Moreover, would there be any unexpected occurrences during the revival?

Would the revived Su Pu be under his control?

If the realm was too high and out of control, and then self-destructed, not only would the great world be finished, but the entire world of rules would be destroyed too.

He could revive himself, but all the living beings in the great world would definitely die.

So after much consideration, Lin Moyu decided to perform the summoning in the real world.

Even if there was a self-destruction, at most it would only destroy this mountain valley. With a 100,000 li buffer, it probably wouldn’t affect Nine-tailed City.

As the flesh gradually regenerated, the physical body became complete. What was revived was a snow-white celestial fox – this was Su Pu’s true form.

Su Pu’s true form was about ten meters long. After the physical body recovered, the tails began to regenerate.

Tails are very important for the Celestial Fox clan.

Newborn Celestial Fox clan members only have one tail. As their realm improves and bloodline evolves, the number of tails increases.

Those with strong bloodlines can have six tails at the Dao Venerable realm, and grow a seventh tail at the seventh-level Dao Venerable realm.

Those with weaker bloodlines have fewer tails.

All direct descendants of the Celestial Fox clan have seven tails after the seventh-level Dao Venerable realm.

Branch family members only have six tails at the seventh-level Dao Venerable realm.

Su Pu, as a pseudo-Great Dao realm being, had eight tails, which was his limit.

Only the Celestial Fox ancestor could have nine tails.

As the tails regenerated, Su Pu’s soul also began to reassemble within the rules.

Lin Moyu sensed an ancient aura. This aura was incredibly old, coming mysteriously from distant ages, bringing Su Pu’s soul.

As Su Pu’s soul began to reassemble, the aura grew stronger, impacting the formation Lin Moyu had set up.

The impact of Su Pu’s revival was very intense. It was fortunate that ample preparations had been made to block these auras.

As the auras overlapped, anomalies appeared in the valley. An eight-tailed white fox appeared, howling to the sky in the valley.

Then, a Great Dao appeared in the sky.

This was Su Pu’s own Great Dao, not the Celestial Fox ancestor’s Dao of Destiny. He hadn’t followed the ancestor’s old path but had comprehended his own Great Dao.

The Great Dao was entirely golden, with flashes of fire within the golden light.

The golden light was incredibly sharp, seemingly able to cut through anything like a sword. The fire light within the golden light…

Lin Moyu found this Great Dao in his memories.

This was a very special Great Dao. In the records of the current era, it hadn’t appeared many times, no more than ten.

This Great Dao was a fusion of the metal and fire Daos, called the Metal Fire Dao.

It possessed both the metal power and fire power from the five elements, having both the sharpness of the metal Dao to cut through everything and the terrifying power of the fire Dao to burn heaven and earth.

The Metal Fire Dao was known for its offensive power and was very strong.

“So Su Pu comprehended the Metal Fire Dao. It seems he indeed had ambition, not walking the same path as the Celestial Fox ancestor.”

“I guess the Celestial Fox ancestor also saw through his ambition.”

“Since he possessed a Great Dao, why didn’t he use it in the Qingqiu ancestral land? Could there be other hidden circumstances?”

In the Qingqiu ancestral land, neither he nor the Celestial Fox ancestor had used their Great Daos. Thinking back now, it was indeed a bit abnormal.

Great Dao realm powerhouses have already merged with the Great Dao. Their strongest method should naturally be using the power of the Great Dao.

But why didn’t they use it?

As Lin Moyu was pondering, the Metal Fire Dao began to rumble, and the reassembling soul became unstable.

Lin Moyu’s heart shook, “There’s a problem!”

The gap between himself and Su Pu was too large, spanning several small realms plus half a large realm.

He had experienced failures in reviving the dead before, so Lin Moyu was mentally prepared from the start.

The Dao of Destiny appeared, directly raising his destiny to the extreme.

In his soul, the destiny talisman glowed brightly as Lin Moyu began to deduce what would happen next.

He could only predict five seconds into the future. If the other party really self-destructed, Lin Moyu would know five seconds in advance.

Five seconds was enough for Lin Moyu to leave this place.

Even if he couldn’t escape, at least he could be mentally prepared.

In the first deduction, Lin Moyu saw future events. In the first second, second second, the soul’s vibrations became increasingly intense.

In the third second, the soul became unstable, its aura chaotic.

In the fourth second…

The destiny talisman exploded, and the deduction failed.

Lin Moyu didn’t hesitate at all and continued to deduce.

This time, in the third second, the destiny talisman collapsed.

“Unable to deduce. Is it because Su Pu’s realm is too high?”

“My mastery of the Dao of Destiny is insufficient to deduce matters related to the Great Dao realm.”

“Or is it that after involving the Great Dao, the future becomes unpredictable, so it can’t be deduced?”

Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, but it was too late to say anything now. Lin Moyu didn’t bother to escape and gave up on preparing to die once.

It had been a long time since he died. Experiencing death and revival again didn’t seem too bad.

The only pity was that this precious piece of flesh would be wasted.

Having mentally prepared himself, Lin Moyu waited for the self-destruction to come.

The soul continued to be chaotic, time passing second by second.

After three seconds, the chaos in the soul reached its peak, but the self-destruction didn’t come.

Then the soul deflated like a punctured balloon, its aura rapidly weakening while becoming stable.

Su Pu didn’t self-destruct but fell from the pseudo-Great Dao realm back to the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm.

After falling to the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm, the soul quickly stabilized, completing the final step of becoming a revenant.

Su Pu, now at the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm, knelt before Lin Moyu. He didn’t immediately bow his head like other revenants.

Although kneeling there, his eyes were very complex.

Lin Moyu looked down at him, “Do you know your identity?”

Su Pu instinctively replied, “I know. I am your most loyal servant.”

Lin Moyu continued to ask, “Do you know what you should do?”

Su Pu answered, “Obey your orders. Even if it means death, I will not resist.”

He still couldn’t resist the mysterious power of the Reviving the Dead technique. No matter how unwilling he was internally, his obedience to Lin Moyu didn’t decrease at all.

Lin Moyu was very satisfied with Su Pu’s answer. He now knew that the current limit of his technique was the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm.

Because Su Pu was a pseudo-Great Dao realm being, not a true Great Dao realm being, he didn’t self-destruct but became a revenant at the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm after lowering himself by half a realm.

If he had revived a true Great Dao realm being, it would either fail, or if successful, would inevitably end in self-destruction.

Lin Moyu said, “Good. Then tell me about prehistoric times.”
