All of them were leader rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his soul perception, their strength and numbers were immediately clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were exactly 400 leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu mused, “If only one platform had been opened, I probably wouldn’t have to face this many.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was correct. Opening a single platform would only awaken 100 leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they wouldn’t awaken simultaneously; a strong party could exploit the timing gaps to eliminate them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, they would face four leaders at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, all four platforms had been activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>400 leaders awakened at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, Lin Moyu might face 16 leaders simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For any other party, this would spell disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a maximum party size of just 24, defeating 16 level 78 leaders at once would be nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Lin Moyu’s mouth twitched slightly, “That’s it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>400 leaders? That was far too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the leaders could fully awaken and charge forward, his undead army struck first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the final stage of the dungeon, yet it still failed to impress him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although leaders granted far more EXP than ordinary monsters, their numbers were simply too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only 400 in total, even if each were worth 10 times the EXP of an ordinary monster, it would amount to no more than 4,000 ordinary monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in truth, the EXP wasn’t even tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was all it offered, the late stage Kunlun Divine Palace dungeon was utterly unsuitable for leveling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grinding here was slower than clearing Lightning Trees or Wind Petals on the Wind–Lightning Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Killed level 78 Flame Giant, EXP +**]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Obtained Flame Sword]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flame Sword: quasi-legendary-grade weapon, all attributes +60,000, increases the power of fire-type skills by 120%.

It was meant for farming equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a 10% drop rate, even opening a single platform would yield 10 quasi-legendary-grade items. What other dungeon could produce that many in a single run?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Lin Moyu had opened all four platforms, he was likely to leave with 30 to 40 pieces—an astonishing harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The early stage and mid stage dungeons were for leveling, while the late stage dungeon was for equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, they offered the perfect balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Kunlun Divine Palace truly lives up to its reputation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though the difficulty is high, the rewards it offers to the human race are equally astonishing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. It really was impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the human race, high-level Blacksmiths were exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even working at full capacity, they could only produce a limited number of quasi-legendary-grade items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for true legendary-grade equipment, that was entirely beyond their reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, most quasi-legendary-grade equipment in human hands came from high-level dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-level dungeon like the Kunlun Divine Palace, capable of mass-producing such equipment, was of immeasurable importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With proper equipment, the overall combat strength of human class users could be drastically elevated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single top-tier item could even refine a class. That was no exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, none of it mattered to Lin Moyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had tested countless types of equipment, yet only the Monarch’s Scepter proved effective for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead army surged through the passage, slaughtering everything in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the leaders were awake or not, the skeletons hacked them down without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the sheer brutality of the undead army was on full display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu did not need to lift a finger. He simply advanced toward the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of battle echoed unceasingly, notifications popping up one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, he drew closer to the summit, until a formation appeared, blocking his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now only about 1,000 meters from the divine palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly visible now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divine palace was exquisitely constructed, perched atop the very tip of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its point of contact with the mountain peak was no more than a tiny spot, yet the structure stood flawlessly stable, unshaken even by the raging winds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind chimes hung from its four corners, colliding and ringing endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their sound drifted faintly through the air, like distant music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet according to dungeon records, there was no mention of the divine palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previous parties had simply opened a platform, fought their way through the passage, and encountered the dungeon boss at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After defeating it, they exited. Nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had only ever used one key. Lin Moyu had used four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty was more than quadrupled, and the outcome was entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, neither the formation before him nor the wind chimes and the divine palace appeared in any recorded run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had appeared, they would not have gone undocumented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind chimes’ melody was beautiful, yet tinged with sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a symphony, a story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Moyu caught its rhythm, his mind began to drift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the sound, he seemed to glimpse fragments of ancient scenes, echoes of long-forgotten events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul force surged under the wind chimes’ influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His morale rose, his spirit burned, and his battle intent boiled over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden urge welled up within him: rush into battle and fight valiantly alongside his undead army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu instantly realized something was wrong. Yet he couldn’t stop himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t right! Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared in his heart, struggling to rein in his soul as his will clashed violently with his subconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal erupted with a thunderous roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu shuddered. In an instant, his mind snapped back into clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a long breath, cold sweat trickling down his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reflected on how close he had come to losing control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Law force…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear lingered in his heart. He had never expected the wind chimes to contain traces of law force. Without realizing it, he had nearly fallen into a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four wind chimes adorning the divine palace were anything but ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu’s alertness surged to its peak. This was no benevolent place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might have treated the dungeon casually, but the divine palace atop Kunlun Mountain’s peak was riddled with danger at every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guarded his soul tightly and deliberately turned his attention away from the divine palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 400 leaders within the passage had almost been completely wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final leader fell, the clouds churned violently. Vast torrents of elements converged from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain peak shook as a colossal figure descended from the sky, carrying with it a raging snowstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>",1549,"2026-06-06T10:27:24.747Z",1,"novelbin.me","757dd7d76a728dd52e72780bd4e6a0bdddf7f5355f6ac1575a340bbde85e04e1","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-641","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-639",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnecromancer-i-am-a-disaster-cover.jpg"]
