It turned out to be a legendary weapon. Though incomplete, it wasn't damaged and was still usable.
The top of the scepter, where sothing should have been inlaid, was empty. Without the inlay, the weapon lost its supplentary skills, rendering its attributes incomplete. Yet, despite this, Lin Moyu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitent after seeing its attribute boost.
The scepter's attribute boost was astonishing—raising all attributes by 500,000 points. In total, this provided a 2 million-point increase, far surpassing the basic attributes of level 70 third-awakened top-level class users. It was an overwhelming bonus.
Even among legendary weapons, the Monarch's Scepter stood out. Lin Moyu didn't mind the missing supplentary skills since many were class-specific and often useless to him. For him, the attribute increase was the true treasure.
This legendary weapons could only be used at level 70 after completing the third class awakening. For now, he could only admire it, but the more he looked, the more eager he beca to wield it.
Eventually, Lin Moyu put the Monarch's Scepter away.
At that mont, the Angel statue collapsed, revealing the dungeon exit.
Instead of rushing out, Lin Moyu sat down to ditate, recovering his depleted spirit force. He could easily imagine what awaited him outside the dungeon—Abyssal Demons. Once he erged, a fierce fight would surely erupt.
He could opt to return to the Human World and leave the Demons waiting outside as much as they want, but he wasn’t ready to back down. Since he'd co this far, he wasn’t leaving without a fight.
After just ten minutes, Lin Moyu’s spirit force was fully restored, his 17 undead legions at the ready. He equipped a new set of Bone Armor.
"Let’s begin."
After lying dormant for a ti, his murderous intent surged, boiling over within the dungeon.
Upon hearing of the commotion in the secret realm, Demons sward in, surrounding the dungeon exit. And it wasn’t limited to the secret realm—an even greater number of Demons were gathering outside.
This was Lin Moyu’s first journey into the Abyssal World. Though several hours had passed, he had yet to truly experience its depths. But that mont was fast approaching.
The Abyssal World had also Demon cities, and there happened to be a large one nearby. News of Lin Moyu’s presence spread quickly, drawing Demons from the nearby city and even others farther away.
This secret realm, known as the Radiant Secret Realm among the Demons, held great significance. Every ti it appeared, its light elent would be assimilated into Abyssal Fire, causing a mutation. By absorbing the mutated Abyssal Fire, Demons could enhance their resistance to the light elent and even evolve their bloodline. It could not only increase their level, but there was also a chance for ordinary Demons to evolve into elite ones.
Naturally, such rewards made the Demons eager to enter the Radiant Secret Realm. Typically, thousands would gather to absorb the mutated Abyssal Fire each ti. However, the secret realm had a strict rule—those above level 45 were barred from entering. As a result, only Demons below level 45 would co here.
But this ti was different. Demons above level 45 had mobilized, waiting outside the secret realm for Lin Moyu to erge. It was rare for enemies to infiltrate the Abyssal World, and so the Demons were quite excited.
A subtle spatial distortion arose, and Lin Moyu appeared outside the dungeon.
“He’s out!”
“It’s the human, kill him!”
“Get him! We’ll split the spoils later!”
In an instant, a flood of attacks engulfed Lin Moyu. Upon leaving a dungeon, there was always a brief two-second stasis, leaving one vulnerable to attacks. Two seconds was enough ti to unleash countless attacks.
Lin Moyu relied on his Bone Armor, confident it would hold for the duration. Even if it didn’t, he had Damage Transfer and Summon Health Link to fall back on. With 17 undead legions—over 6,000 skeletons—sharing the damage, he was well-prepared.
The Bone Armor shone brightly, blocking the onslaught.
“This guy’s defensive skill is insane.”
“Hit harder! Break it down!”
These Demons were low-level, all under level 45, and their attacks lacked the strength to deal any significant damage. In the span of two seconds, they could unleash four or five waves of strikes, but Lin Moyu’s Bone Armor absorbed them all. Still, the relentless onslaught pushed it to its limits, causing cracks to appear. The Demons, sensing victory, grinned wickedly, already imagining Lin Moyu being torn apart.
But just as the Bone Armor was on the verge of shattering, a brilliant white light flashed, restoring it to its original state.
The two seconds were up.
A smirk crossed Lin Moyu's lips, "My turn."
Space twisted violently, and his undead troops appeared, materializing in the spaces between the densely packed Demons. The Skeletal Warriors imdiately swung their blades, and Skeletal Mages began casting spells, targeting the nearest Demons.
“Where did these undead monsters co from?”
“These are his summoned creatures!”
“He’s an undead-type Summoner! And there are so many skeletons, all of them very powerful!”
The sudden appearance of the undead troops threw the Demons into chaos. The ones under attack panicked, while those outside the fray, unable to see what was happening within, couldn’t force their way in.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a strange buzzing sound filled the air as a red glow descended. A small red sword symbol appeared on top of each Demon’s head.
Lin Moyu had cast Damage Curse, increasing the damage the Demons suffered by twelvefold.
All of a sudden, a single scream pierced the air, marking the start of the massacre. The first Demon fell, and with him ca a deafening explosion that echoed throughout the secret realm. One by one, the Demons fell like wheat before a scythe.
[Corpse Explosion (level 6): detonate a corpse and deal 35% of the corpse's health as damage to enemies within a radius of 6 ters.]
Thanks to Lin Moyu's Comprehensive Amplification talent, the range of Corpse Explosion expanded to 240 ters, and the damage surged to 14 tis the health of the corpse. In the Dragonkind Frontline Outpost dungeon, the corpses from the 1,000-strong Dragonkind army had pushed the skill from level 5 to level 6. With each level-up, amplified by his talent, both the range and destructive power of Corpse Explosion grew exponentially.
The secret realm was relatively small, just over a thousand ters deep. A single Corpse Explosion wiped out all the Demons around him. Demons flying overhead dropped like rain, and in monts, the ground was littered with lifeless bodies. Those outside the explosion’s range hadn’t reacted yet, still stunned by the sudden deaths of their kin.
“What just happened?!”
Before they could wrap their heads around what happened, the corpses in front of them exploded in turn, annihilating them in a wave of destruction. For Lin Moyu, their sheer numbers ant nothing. He pressed forward, detonating corpse after corpse. The sound of explosions echoed throughout the entire secret realm, a relentless symphony of death.
In under ten seconds, the once-crowded secret realm was silent—every Demon had perished.
Dusting off his hands, Lin Moyu muttered, "Alright, ti for the ones outside."
But before he could leave, a deafening roar erupted from the depths of the secret realm. The ground trembled beneath him.
"A boss?" Lin Moyu raised an eyebrow, surprised that such a small secret realm housed a powerful boss.
Dark green flas surged from the depths, coalescing into the form of a fire dragon that shot toward Lin Moyu. Under normal circumstances, he might have taken a more cautious approach—using Detection to analyze the enemy’s attributes and skills before engaging. But now, there was no need.
A faint smile touched his lips.
With a simple gesture, more corpses were hurled into the air, and then were detonated by Lin Moyu, obliterating the fire dragon before it could even reach him. As the green flas dissipated, he turned his gaze to the depths of the secret realm. In the swirling mass of dark green fire, a new figure began to form, slowly taking the shape of a Demon.
“Abyssal Fire Sprite!” Lin Moyu instantly recognized the secret realm’s boss. In the Abyss, Abyssal Fire raged fiercely, and under certain conditions, this fire could mutate and form Abyssal Fire Sprites—elental creatures that took on various shapes.
The Abyssal Fire Sprite surged toward him, and soon the entire secret realm was engulfed in green flas, transforming it into a blazing inferno.
Lin Moyu, unfazed by the flas around him, calmly remarked, “Last ti I faced an Abyssal Fire Sprite, it dropped a Fire Gem. I wonder if you'll drop one too."
Without wasting ti, his skeletons hurled more corpses into the air, triggering a cascade of explosions. Lin Moyu didn’t know the exact level of the Abyssal Fire Sprite before him—whether it was level 50 or 55—but it didn’t matter. Against the large supply of corpses and the imnse damage multiplier of Corpse Explosion, it was dood.
Even though the corpses were low-level with limited health, the sheer power of Corpse Explosion more than compensated for it. The only question was how many detonations it would take to bring down the Abyssal Fire Sprite.
Wave after wave of explosions rocked the secret realm. The Abyssal Fire Sprite shrieked as its flas were blasted apart, its once massive form shrinking with every detonation. The onslaught continued for over 30 rounds before the Abyssal Fire Sprite let out a final, desperate cry, and its flas were completely extinguished.
From beginning to end, it never even got close to Lin Moyu.
