Upgradeable!

"Flame Flame Hundred Trillion Death Great Burial Formation?"

"This skill..."

"This effect..."

"No matter what angle you look at it from, how can it be so similar to Arthas's level‑six ultimate?"

"That guy who was just guarding Zhu Tian Shen Mo Ta First Floor, all clad in blood‑red armor."

"Could it really be Arthas?"

He recalled the red undead knight he met upon first arriving at Zhu Tian Shen Mo Ta, in the first‑floor stone chamber, clad in scarlet armor, appearing mysterious and formidable.

In Li Mu's mind, this thought suddenly sprang up!

But soon.

Li Mu shook his head, unable to help but laugh silently at himself.

"What nonsense am I filling my mind with day after day!"

"But it cannot be denied that the Divine Skill reward from clearing Zhu Tian Shen Mo Ta First Floor is truly over‑the‑top!"

"I never expected to receive such a surprising gift right away!"

After reading the System Virtual Panel's description before him, a surge of ecstatic joy rose deep in Li Mu's eyes.

"I just don't know how this Flame Flame Hundred Trillion Death Great Burial Formation works in practice."

Thinking that, Li Mu swiped his finger upward, pulling the system panel back.

At the same time.

He redirected his gaze toward the plaza!

As Li Mu awakened this skill, he instantly felt the world before his eyes had become markedly different from before.

In front of him unfolded an indescribably wondrous phenomenon.

Yet the Xuanlin Evil Flood Dragon he had just slain with his life now continuously spewed thick black smoke from every part of its body.

This was a phenomenon Li Mu had never witnessed before mastering the Flame Flame Hundred Trillion Death Great Burial Formation in Zhu Tian Shen Mo Ta.

Li Mu was astonished by the miraculous scene before him!

He walked over slowly, crouched, and stared intently at the Xuanlin Evil Flood Dragon!

Soon, atop the smoke‑shrouded Xuanlin Evil Flood Dragon, a Byte Entry suddenly popped out.

【Can extract the opponent's spirit!】

"Can extract the opponent's spirit?"

"What is this!"

"Could this be closely related to the Flame Flame Hundred Trillion Death Great Burial Formation I just awakened?"

In Li Mu's view, the rolling black smoke continuously emanating from the Xuanlin Evil Flood Dragon resembled a wandering soul being summoned back from the netherworld.

It began to writhe in endless painful struggle, its mouth gaping as if trying to speak.

From the opponent's mouth shape, Li Mu could roughly infer.

At this moment, the opponent.

Was probably pleading for rescue?

Moreover, as time passed, faint wails and howls drifted into Li Mu's ears.

This feeling was truly too novel and unbelievable for Li Mu!

Yet it made Li Mu's conviction grow even stronger.

In the moments that followed,

only he could rescue the wandering souls on the ground from the Netherworld.

"Extract Soul!"

Li Mu's mind shifted, and he began to employ the Flame Flame Hundred Trillion Death Great Burial Formation.

In the System Virtual Panel before him, another Byte Entry popped up.

【Please set a prerequisite trigger command for the Extract Soul talent.】

"What?"

"The divine abilities of this Zhu Tian Shen Mo Ta are also too unique, aren't they?"

"It even requires me to devise a command before activation…"

Li Mu stroked his chin, pondered in his mind, and then tentatively said a line.

"Defiled Earth Rebirth!"

At that moment,

"Wuh, wuh, wuh, wuh…"

As Li Mu's command fell, a wailing sound like a tormented soul rose from somewhere unknown.

Simultaneously, the massive black silhouette of the Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao that had loomed before him began to flicker shakily.

As if it had come fully back to life.

Li Mu subconsciously stepped back one pace!

"Whoosh—…"

Suddenly, as he retreated, the ground beneath his feet erupted with a rush of flowing water.

Immediately after,

At the spot where he had just stood, a jet‑black vortex appeared instantly!

As the vortex spun faster, its area expanded ever larger.

In the end, it completely covered the place where the Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao's corpse had been.

Thus…

Under Li Mu's gaze, the corpse of the Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao began to sink slowly, until it vanished entirely.

Then,

From that huge black vortex, a massive jet‑black Jiao head burst out!

Li Mu's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

Yet,

With the sudden disappearance of the Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao, it was replaced by something about seventy‑percent similar in shape, but its whole body was formed of a layer of dark black smoke.

From head to toe it constantly emitted rolling black smoke like a shadow monster.

"Roar…"

"Is this the ability of the Flame Flame Hundred Trillion Death Great Burial Formation?"

"It's a defying‑heaven skill that brings back a beast or human killed by oneself from the Netherworld to the real world?"

When Li Mu regained his senses, the full form of the Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao had already appeared before him.

"What on earth is this…?"

Li Mu approached the newly returned Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao and reached out to touch its scales.

The sensation was distinctly cold, as if it were a peculiar metallic material.

Though it resembled snake scales outwardly, the feel was still somewhat different.

Undeniably, even without Li Mu testing it personally, one could sense that its defensive power would be terrifying.

Aside from its astonishing defense, Li Mu sensed no vitality on the Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao, heard no breath, and felt no heartbeat.

Moreover…

"…"

Li Mu couldn't help but gasp sharply for cold air.

From the two jet‑black eye sockets of the Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao, Li Mu seemed to see the darkness itself.

It resembled a black hole; even a slight approach would be wholly sucked in by those two voids.

This chilling, hair‑raising scene made Li Mu step back several paces.

"Sss…"

"Is this the skill effect of the Flame Flame Hundred Trillion Death Great Burial Formation?"

"It really can summon back everything the user has killed from the Netherworld for their own command and servitude?"

Li Mu swallowed a gulp of saliva.

"If this Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao were truly under my control now…"

Li Mu gestured toward the left.

Result.

The Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao, as if reading Li Mu's thoughts, cooperated perfectly and turned its body to the left.

Then Li Mu slowly turned his palm toward the rear.

The Dark‑Scale Evil Jiao, as if sharing Li Mu's intent, gradually turned to face away from him.

Afterwards.

Li Mu stood again in the center of the plaza, letting his hand down.

At the same time.

Wah‑la‑la……

The massive skull of the dark‑scaled evil flood dragon drooped downward, assuming a posture of submission.

The entire process was completely controllable, and it was carried out solely by Li Mu's own will.

Ha……

Li Mu let out a long sigh, and a brilliant smile spread across his face.

This feeling!

Not bad at all!

Summon the old life‑and‑death foes from the Netherworld again, and make them serve me wholeheartedly, treating me as their master.

At first glance, such a thing sounds trivial.

But after a brief feeling, Li Mu could clearly sense just how extraordinary this skill truly is!

Moreover!

What excites Li Mu even more is the subsequent growth attribute of the skill itself!

As he continuously upgrades the Flaming Ten Quadrillion Dead Grand Burial Array skill!

Doesn't that mean he can endlessly increase the number of the dead he can command?

In a sense, indeed!

He truly is a thousand‑ to ten‑thousand‑fold stronger than those so‑called puppet masters, summoners, and formation masters!

After all!

Their limits are essentially fixed, and seeking further transformation and advancement would undoubtedly become extremely difficult.

But for Li Mu!

As long as he can keep leveling up and keep fighting.

Then the ceiling of his Flaming Ten Quadrillion Dead Grand Burial Array would essentially be limitless!

When that time comes.

He alone would be equivalent to an entire dynasty!

Upon thinking that through,

Li Mu's excited complexion flushed red, and his breathing inevitably became a bit rapid.

At the same time.

Another problem lay before him.

It's true that the dark‑scaled evil flood dragon was summoned back from the Netherworld, but how can he take it away and make it serve him more efficiently and conveniently?

That's a problem……

"Otherwise……"

"Just by placing this dark‑scaled evil flood dragon of such exaggerated size here, if it were to walk openly on the roadside,"

"It might be taken as a demonic cultivator!"

"Perhaps I haven't fully developed the Six Divine Gear yet."

"And already be the first to be shouted at and slain by those so‑called Renowned Orthodox Sects!"

Just thinking of it,

He might in the future experience a scenario where the Six Great Sects besiege Guangming Ding.

Li Mu rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling that he truly had two heads on one body.

"System!"

"Open the skill panel for me!"

"Heavenly Divine Art: Flaming Ten Quadrillion Dead Grand Burial Array, Level: lv1."

"Skill Effect: Extract Soul!"

"Store Soul!"

Li Mu examined the many branch skills of the Flaming Ten Quadrillion Dead Grand Burial Array, and soon his eyes brightened with new insights.

His mind shifted, and he directly clicked the 'Store Soul' skill option.

Soon.

All the detailed introduction and description of the skill unfolded before Li Mu's eyes.

Active Skill: Store Soul!

This skill is a branch of the Heavenly Divine Art: Flaming Ten Quadrillion Dead Grand Burial Array.

Using this skill requires no cost from the host, and can smoothly store the souls summoned from the Netherworld within the host's Dao Palace.

According to the host's needs, they can be summoned to the world at any time, or recalled back to the host's Dao Palace for preservation.
