Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4796: Battle

Lin Moyu chuckled softly.

“Is it very unexpected?”

As he spoke, the Calamity Scepter did not pause at all and swung directly toward the violet robed man.

The violet robed man snorted coldly and struck out with one palm to collide with the Calamity Scepter.

With a thunderous boom, the Calamity Scepter was actually shaken back.

However, the violet robed man was also forced several steps back, so this exchange was about evenly matched.

The Hongmeng Gem shouted, “This guy is very strong!”

The Calamity Scepter had never failed before, and this counted as its first setback.

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, “How could someone who can enter the Forbidden Zone of Life not be strong?”

His soul power surged violently, his body flowed with dazzling radiance, and infinite power poured into the Calamity Scepter.

The Domain Gem erupted with brilliant light, forcibly creating a hazy domain within the Forbidden Zone of Life.

Inside the domain, all annihilation power was pushed outside.

The domain expanded rapidly, covering a vast stretch of the void.

Undying Spirit Soldiers poured out like a raging flood and savage beasts, charging toward the violet robed man.

Ever since Lin Moyu stepped into the supreme realm, the Undying Spirit Soldiers had grown stronger again, their combat strength reaching the level of Great Venerable.

Naturally they were inferior to the other party and could not exist inside the Forbidden Zone of Life, but Lin Moyu used the Domain Gem to evolve an illusory domain as a battlefield, allowing them to rampage and slaughter freely within.

Facing the Undying Spirit Soldiers pouring in like a flood, the violet robed man said with disdain, “Die!”

His shout was like the words of heaven.

Endless laws surged wildly, and countless Undying Spirit Soldiers were instantly smashed to pieces.

With just one word, he killed over a hundred million Undying Spirit Soldiers.

Lin Moyu had long expected this outcome, but a mere hundred million Undying Spirit Soldiers was something he could afford to lose.

The Undying Spirit Soldiers knew no fear of death.

Even though a large number died at the front, there were still endless waves behind them, surging forward without end.

The Hongmeng Gem said, “This guy is not easy to deal with!”

“I know.” Lin Moyu’s voice remained calm and steady as immense power poured into the Calamity Scepter.

The Balance Gem shone with blazing radiance.

The light fell upon the violet robed man and caused his aura to fluctuate slightly, but it did not produce any significant effect.

The Balance Gem failed; it could not alter his strength.

Yet within that radiance, Lin Moyu saw countless laws.

These laws were powerful and unique, transcending universes, forming armor that protected the violet robed man.

With laws guarding his body, he had blocked the power of the Balance Gem.

“Die!”

There was another low shout, this time even stronger.

In an instant, more than a billion Undying Spirit Soldiers were slain.

He slapped out with a palm once again.

Where the palm print passed, the void shattered, naturally falling into silence; even the Forbidden Zone of Life itself warped.

The illusory domain created by the Domain Gem was shattered with a single strike, and the sweeping annihilation power surged in.

Without the protection of the domain, the Undying Spirit Soldiers could not withstand the annihilation power at all.

With a thought, Lin Moyu instantly withdrew all Undying Spirit Soldiers, making them vanish.

The violet robed man took one step forward, crossing the void to appear before Lin Moyu, and struck out with another palm.

Lin Moyu likewise thrust out a palm to meet it head on.

The two palms collided and the void exploded.

Lin Moyu was shaken and sent flying on the spot, his body more than half shattered before being blown to pieces.

The violet robed man sneered.

“Overestimating your…”

Before he finished speaking, violet light flashed and Lin Moyu completed his rebirth, his aura fully restored to its peak without the slightest decline.

The violet robed man said coldly, “Your ability to revive is enviable.”

Lin Moyu laughed.

“Yes, it really is quite enviable.

“Unfortunately, you will not have it.”

The violet robed man said, “That may not be so.”

He struck out with another palm.

In a split second, the void was filled with gigantic palm phantoms; it looked like a single strike, but was in fact countless palms overlapping.

The space of the Forbidden Zone of Life twisted and looked as though it might shatter at any moment.

Lin Moyu swung the Calamity Scepter, likewise turning it into endless staff shadows that swept away all the palm prints.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, wielding the Calamity Scepter like a weapon to sweep across.

The violet robed man was clearly somewhat fearful of the Calamity Scepter and retreated to evade.

It had already been proven that he could not shatter the Calamity Scepter.

Lin Moyu ignored everything else and pursued at high speed.

The Calamity Scepter continued to dance, filling the void with staff shadows, twisting the space of the Forbidden Zone of Life for billions of miles and forcibly suppressing the violet robed man.

The violet robed man seemed to have been driven into a fury and snorted coldly.

A treasure appeared in his hand.

It was a rhombus shaped bead.

He tossed the bead out and it exploded in the void.

The void was abruptly locked.

The endless shadows of the Calamity Scepter were frozen in midair, unable to advance or retreat.

Not only the shadows, even the Calamity Scepter in Lin Moyu’s hand seemed to be shackled with heavy chains and could not move.

The violet robed man once again appeared before Lin Moyu and struck out with a palm.

Although the Calamity Scepter could not move, the gems on it could still be used.

Lin Moyu’s power roared forth madly.

The Soul Gem was activated.

The power of the Soul Gem gathered into his hand, and through Lin Moyu’s fist, he struck out.

With a loud boom, Lin Moyu was once again knocked flying, his body shattered; clearly he was at a disadvantage.

Yet at the same time, the violet robed man let out a miserable scream and staggered backward.

That fist had gathered the power of the Soul Gem, forming a soul attack.

Borrowing Lin Moyu’s fist, it had surged into the violet robed man’s body, assailing his soul.

Though that exchange looked like Lin Moyu had suffered a loss, the violet robed man had also been struck by the soul impact and was far from comfortable.

Lin Moyu was reborn once more within violet light, immense power pouring into the Calamity Scepter.

The Element Gem shone brilliantly and the void trembled as the earlier restraints rapidly weakened.

At the same time, the Soul Gem blazed with divine radiance, and an earthy yellow light enveloped Lin Moyu.

Then the earthy yellow turned into gold, and a divine soul bow appeared in Lin Moyu’s hand.

He drew the bow and nocked an arrow, locking onto the violet robed man.

“Little Tree, seal the space!”

Little Tree responded at once, sealing the void in all directions.

Spatial power converged from every side, temporarily trapping the violet robed man.

The soul arrow shot out and sank into the violet robed man’s body.

There was another miserable scream as his aura finally declined.

Violet qi surged into the heavens and turned into violet flames.

The space that Little Tree had sealed instantly shattered.

The violet robed man turned, stepped once to appear far away, and with a second step he vanished without a trace.

He fled, and Lin Moyu did not stop him, letting him leave.

The Hongmeng Gem asked, “Master, why not keep him here?”

Just now, Lin Moyu had not used his full strength at all.

He had not invoked the Extreme Undying, nor the Hongmeng Violet Flame, nor any formations, and even the Calamity Scepter had some of its power held back.

If he had unleashed everything, it would have been entirely possible to keep the man here.

The battle intent in Lin Moyu’s eyes had long since faded.

“He only came with a clone.

“Keeping him is meaningless.

“He did not go all out, so of course I also need to hold back some trump cards.”

Originally he had wanted to have a full scale battle against the other, but he had not expected that the one who came would only be a clone, so there was no need for him to use his full power.

He knew that the violet robed man’s visit this time was largely a probe.

But was he himself not doing the same?

They had tested each other, to see what trump cards the other side held, while the final decisive battle…

The Hongmeng Gem asked, “Then will he come again next time?”

Lin Moyu said, “He will definitely come.

“But rather than waiting for him, it is better that we go knock on his door ourselves.

“There is no such thing in this world as guarding against a thief every single day.

“Killing the one who tries to lay the foundations of his own path upon us is the proper course.”

The Hongmeng Gem’s eyes lit up.

“Master knows where he is?”

Lin Moyu smiled.

“Not only do I know, there should also be a very interesting story behind it.”

The Hongmeng Gem immediately said, “What story? Hurry and tell it.”

Lin Moyu smiled.

“This story has to start from the last Great Annihilation.

“Most of it is my conjecture and may not be entirely accurate, but it should not be far off…”
