Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

”You deserve to die!”

Another surge of killing intent swept over him.

Lin Moyu’s soul world trembled as the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal released a resounding roar.

He shuddered violently and snapped back to his senses.

He had been trapped in an illusion.

A mere sliver of the Star Tree’s split soul had been enough to drag him into an illusion, a testament to its terrifying soul force.

Fortunately, the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal shielded him, limiting the illusion’s effect to no more than a fleeting instant.

The moment his consciousness returned, Lin Moyu acted without hesitation.

Fused law art: Death Dragon Knight!

Fused law art: Skeletal Divine General!

The undead fused in rapid succession, transforming into 360,000 Skeletal Divine Generals and 50,000 Death Dragon Knights.

An army of 410,000 undead, each possessing Transcendent God realm combat power, surged downward. They rushed toward the Star Tree’s branch, unleashing a relentless assault.

The branch lashed wildly, blasting back the undead while splitting open the earth as it whipped toward Lin Moyu.

Only then was the branch fully revealed.

It was colossal—over fifty meters thick and stretching more than ten thousand meters long.

Countless smaller branches hung from it like the drooping limbs of a willow tree.

The law of wood surged throughout the branch, but no law domain formed.

The repeated interruptions, coupled with the destruction of the mother tree, had dealt the split soul severe damage.

It was no longer able to establish its law domain.

After all, this was only a sliver of a split soul, bound by many limitations.

It had come to this world, grown the mother trees, and then used the mother trees to nurture the vast forest.

The forest’s roots stretched deep beneath the earth, drawing power from the land itself.

Only by accumulating the dense elemental within the deep layer had the split soul been able to manifest a law domain.

Within that law domain, it would have been virtually invincible in the deep layer.

But the forest was gone.

Repeated curse attacks had severely wounded the split soul, leaving it incapable of forming the law domain again.

Without the law domain, the power of its attacks had fallen to no more than Transcendent God 9th tier.

Lin Moyu had nothing to fear.

The massive branch whipped toward him like an enormous lash, crashing into him.

Yet Lin Moyu remained completely unharmed, not even taking a single step back.

The undead army surged once more, clinging tightly to the branch to anchor themselves in place.

Axes, swords, Dragon breath, and spells rained down without pause.

The bark was astonishingly tough.

It took hundreds of relentless strikes from the undead just to finally break through.

Splinters exploded into the air, drifting like smoke.

Even so, these were only superficial wounds, nowhere near enough to inflict real damage.

The branch thrashed violently, but this time the undead army was prepared.

No matter how fiercely it struggled, it could not shake them off.

Lin Moyu raised a finger once more.

Fused law art: Time Curse!

A crimson light descended.

The split soul let out another agonized scream as the curse struck.

Though the damage was far from fatal, the pain was excruciating.

Its shriek transformed into a soul-echo that shot toward Lin Moyu’s soul world like a razor-sharp arrow.

His soul world trembled, but the glazed barrier surrounding it deflected the attack.

The split soul roared in fury, unleashing one soul attack after another.

None of them could breach Lin Moyu’s soul world.

A 3rd grade soul possessed astonishing defensive power.

Then a cloud of gray-white mist drifted out and settled upon the branch.

Rot spread instantly.

A dense aura of death spread rapidly, engulfing the entire branch in the blink of an eye.

Lin Moyu wielded the law of undeath, fully manifesting its death aspect.

Every trace of life force vanished.

Wherever the law reached, only death remained.

The bark decayed first, becoming brittle beneath the relentless assault of the undead army.

Soon afterward, the wood beneath began to rot as its life force was stripped away, leaving nothing but death behind.

”What kind of law is this?!” A soul-echo containing fear rose.

Lin Moyu couldn’t tell whether it belonged to the split soul or the Star Tree’s main body.

Either way, he knew the events here had already been transmitted back.

By now, the Star Tree’s main body undoubtedly knew everything that had happened and surely hated him to the core.

According to the greater world’s rules, it had most likely branded him with yet another imprint.

This was only the second time Lin Moyu had unleashed the law of undeath.

The first had erased the Bloodthirsty Bees’ soul manifestation.

This time, it effortlessly shattered the Star Tree branch’s defenses.

With the bark gone, every strike from the undead army bit directly into the exposed wood.

The law of undeath continued its relentless advance, corroding the wood.

Lin Moyu could hear the split soul’s screams of agony.

But it was already too late.

Under the endless barrage, the colossal branch finally collapsed.

The split soul released one last shriek before being completely consumed by the law of undeath.

[Killed Star Tree’s split soul, level +1]

The instant the split soul died, brilliant light erupted around Lin Moyu as he leveled up.

He stared at the notification in disbelief.

Level +1? He had never seen such a reward before.

Over the past several days, he had slaughtered hundreds of Transcendent God realm monsters and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Bloodthirsty Bees, yet all that effort had only raised him from level 96 to level 97.

After reaching level 96, every subsequent level demanded an astronomical amount of EXP.

Yet destroying a single split soul of the Star Tree had instantly pushed him from level 97 to level 98.

His soul rank rose as well, breaking through to level 98.

At that moment, Lin Moyu felt himself brushing against the bottleneck of half-step Transcendent God-level.

He needed only a little more insight, enough to grasp law with his own hands, and he would break through.

When that happened, he would stand on the same level as Jiang Yi: level 98 half-step Transcendent God.

Whether one reached level 98 or level 99, both had the opportunity to become a half-step Transcendent God.

In the end, everything depended on a single factor: whether one could truly master law.

With the battle over, Lin Moyu finally turned his attention to the Dragon Bead.

It was pressed tightly against the spatial barrier, nearly half of it already embedded within.

Had he arrived late enough, the Star Tree might have succeeded in taking Antares’s Dragon Bead, and Antares would have lost it forever.

But now, it was over.

Lin Moyu stepped forward and reached for the Dragon Bead.

The instant his hand touched it, a tremendous force erupted from its surface, knocking his hand away.

”The law of wood.” Lin Moyu was taken aback.

He immediately realized the Star Tree was still resisting.

The law of undeath surged from his hand as he reached for the Dragon Bead again.

The Dragon Bead flared with light again, and the law of wood collided violently with the law of undeath.

Invisible force spread through the surrounding space.

Lin Moyu channeled the law of undeath, unleashing its power of death.

The deadlock lasted only a moment before the law of wood was finally overwhelmed.

It was obvious that the Star Tree had lost most of its power while crossing the spatial barrier and was further suppressed by the rules of the deep layer.

Otherwise, with Lin Moyu’s current strength, there was no way he could have contended with it.

At last, Lin Moyu seized the Dragon Bead and pulled with all his strength, wrenching it free from the spatial barrier.

The moment it came loose, a furious roar echoed through the void.

It came from the Star Tree.

The sound crossed an immeasurable distance, carrying boundless rage.

Years of painstaking effort had been undone by Lin Moyu.

How could it not be furious?

Lin Moyu noticed a small depression in the spatial barrier where the Dragon Bead had been.

At its center was a tiny black point, leading into an unknown void.

He understood immediately that this was the channel the Star Tree had forcibly opened with its law of space.

”Wretched human! I have memorized your aura! When you enter the greater world, I will personally strike you down!”

The deafening roar crashed directly into Lin Moyu’s soul world.

His soul looked up to see the projection of a colossal tree standing beyond the glazed barrier.

It was immeasurably vast, its presence overwhelming, gazing down at him like a predator.

Lin Moyu’s expression turned solemn, ”Star Tree…”
