The Bone Armor remained unresponsive, indicating that the lightning-infused crystals were harmless.
A warm current surged through Lin Moyu's body, bringing a tingling sensation—not painful, but lightly itchy.
Then, a string of notifications appeared.
[Lightning elental immunity's upper limit 1%]
[Lightning elental immunity's upper limit 1%]
…
Ten identical ssages in total, raising his lightning elental immunity’s upper limit by 10%.
Previously, after enduring repeated strikes from Genesis Lightning in the Putrid Corpse Realm, his lightning elental immunity had increased from 50% to 80%, where it had stagnated.
Later, Lin Moyu learned that 80% was typically the natural upper limit for any elental immunity. Exceeding that required special opportunities.
Now, unexpectedly, that limit had been broken, rising from 80% to 90%.
With the right treasures, his lightning elental immunity could now reach that new ceiling.
Lin Moyu realized this must be a reward for clearing the trial—a dream co true for class users striving to push past their limits and ascend to Transcendent God-level.
In addition to the lightning elent, he also had the Venomous Flood Dragon’s Spinal Fluid, which could similarly raise his poison elental immunity’s upper limit. How far it could go remained to be seen.
Once the lightning from all the crystals had flowed into him, the light around the square quickly dimd.
Before him now stood a massive crystal, roughly five ters tall. Lin Moyu could feel the terrifying power sealed within.
The energy felt strangely familiar, like he’d encountered it before.
Inside the transparent crystal, a single bead was sealed.
The mont Lin Moyu saw it, recognition struck. It radiated the sa energy as the bead Jiang Yi had once given him.
And it looked exactly the sa.
Back in the day, Antares had made a deal with Jiang Yi to search for such a bead.
Unexpectedly, he had made the sa deal with Lin Moyu.
“This bead must be important to Antares… but why?” Contemplation filled Lin Moyu’s eyes.
He still had no idea what the bead actually did. And it wasn’t just him; even the well-inford ng Anwen had failed to decipher its purpose.
Antares, of course, wasn’t telling.
But one thing was clear: the bead was important to Antares.
Unable to solve the mystery, Lin Moyu chose not to dwell on it further.
He took out the blood Antares had given him and placed it against the crystal.
The thin mbrane surrounding the blood broke upon contact, releasing a rich, invigorating fragrance.
“That slls amazing…”
Lin Moyu took a deep breath, feeling his entire body relax.
Antares's blood carried an unexpectedly rich fragrance.
For a mont, he even felt tempted to taste it.
The blood quickly seeped into the crystal, which began to lt at an astonishing rate.
Lin Moyu was ready. He had already prepared a suitable box.
The instant the crystal dissolved and revealed the bead, he grabbed it.
He studied it for a long ti, but figure out anything."
Then, without warning, Antares’ voice echoed: “You brat, you got the Dragon Bead?”
The voice seed to emanate from the Dragon Bead itself, but it echoed directly in Lin Moyu’s mind.
Sound couldn’t travel in this place. Antares was communicating via spirit transmission.
Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised. He had known Antares possessed the ability to contact him.
He replied with spirit force, “Yes, I got it.”
At that mont, the Dragon Bead flared with radiant light. Intricate lines erged on its surface, converging into a profound rune.
Antares spoke again: “Then co back. Activate the teleportation formation on the Dragon Bead, and you’ll return to the upper layer.”
Lin Moyu shook his head, “I still have things to take care of in the lower layer. I’ll return when I’m done.”
A long silence followed.
Lin Moyu’s lips curled subtly.
“So, he really values the Dragon Bead.”
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t hesitate like that.”
“Still… he won’t press . If he wants to avoid looking desperate, he’ll leave the decision to .”
He could already anticipate Antares’s next move.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, Antares responded: “That’s fine. Return when you're ready. You can activate the Dragon Bead at any ti—it will bring you back to the upper layer.”
“Once you're back, I’ll give you everything I promised. You’ve passed my first little test. After that, we’ll talk about a real deal.”
This was exactly as Lin Moyu had predicted.
In fact, he could feel a sense of urgency from Antares. The Dragon Bead ant a great deal to him.
And calling it a “little test”? That was just a smokescreen.
“Yeah, right. Like I’d believe that.”
Lin Moyu replied lightly, “Alright. I’ll co back once I’m done.”
With that, Lin Moyu stowed the Dragon Bead away.
Now that it was in his possession, he had an extra option, another path of retreat.
He could return to the upper layer, or proceed to the Abyssal World.
After the crystal lted away, a hidden entrance was revealed behind it.
“A hidden cave… what could be inside?”
From within, Lin Moyu sensed a strange aura, one he had sensed before. It was related to the Gods.
Given everything that had occurred in the Lightning Burial Canyon, a suspicion began to take shape in his mind.
Without hesitation, he summoned several Skeletal Berserk Warriors to lead the way, then followed them in.
At the very mont Lin Moyu claid the Dragon Bead, a sharp howl tore through the deep layer of the Immorial Battlefield.
The howl was piercing, so sharp it tore through space itself, echoing straight into the Abyss.
At the heart of the Abyss, the Demon Emperor’s Palace shuddered violently.
A towering projection of the Demon Emperor manifested in the Abyss: “Find out who entered the Lightning Burial Canyon in the lower layer of the Immorial Battlefield in recent days!”
The command echoed throughout the Abyss again and again, laced with vast, unbridled fury.
The Demons across the Abyss trembled. The cowardly collapsed instantly, groveling on the ground, soiling themselves.
The Darkfiend King narrowed his eyes, realizing the person Demon Emperor sought was Lin Moyu.
After all, his avatar had been killed at the entrance of the Lightning Burial Canyon.
Over the past few days, the Succubus Queen had already spread word of Lin Moyu's presence in the Lightning Burial Canyon. By now, many Demon Kings in the Abyss were aware of it.
But the Darkfiend King remained silent.
He knew the Demon Emperor would find out soon enough. There would be no shortage of Demons eager to report Lin Moyu’s whereabouts.
The Succubus Queen was certainly one of them.
Sure enough, within minutes, the Demon Emperor had his answer.
“No matter the cost—kill Lin Moyu. Whoever succeeds will be rewarded with a law treasure!”
The new decree swept across the Abyss like a tidal wave, sending shockwaves through the ranks of Demon Kings.
Lin Moyu was now wanted by the entire Abyss.
Such an order had only been given a handful of tis in history.
No one could imagine what Lin Moyu had done to provoke such unrelenting wrath from the Demon Emperor.
The Darkfiend King trembled ever so slightly, eyes gleaming with desire, “A law treasure…”
Beside him, the Venomrot Demon King let out a cold chuckle, “The Demon Emperor is feeling generous. But I doubt that law treasure will be easy to claim.”
The Darkfiend King sneered, “Indeed. Lin Moyu is no easy prey. Venomrot Demon King, are you interested?”
The Venomrot Demon King shook his head, “I prefer studying poisons. Let the others do the hunting.”
The Darkfiend King’s expression was bloomy. If given the opportunity, he would absolutely kill Lin Moyu.
But he also knew that killing Lin Moyu would be anything but easy.
Inside the Succubus Queen’s Palace, the Succubus Queen lounged lazily on her throne, her posture captivating and alluring.
Mina stood respectfully to the side, “Demon Queen, should we go?”
The Succubus Queen scoffed. “Go? And die? Who knows what Lin Moyu did in the Lightning Burial Canyon to enrage the Demon Emperor like that.”
“But that alone proves how dangerous he is.”
“Trust , we can’t kill him. Crossing him would only bring disaster.”
“Let the fools throw their lives away.”
Mina had complete faith in the Succubus Queen’s judgnt, and more importantly, she understood firsthand just how terrifying Lin Moyu could be.
The idea of going after him was already gone from her mind.
Now that the Succubus Queen had no intention of taking action, Mina felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Lin Moyu was too dreadful. She never wanted to face him again.
anwhile, the hidden cave behind the lted crystal wasn’t as dark as Lin Moyu had expected.
Lightning flickered along the cave’s walls, illuminating the space.
Fist-sized crystals were embedded throughout the walls.
