Chapter 743: Sweeping Through A Demon King City

~7 min read 1,281 words

“If only I had this skill earlier.”

Lin Moyu recalled the battle at the Dragonkind emperor city.

Had he possessed this skill then, at least half of the millions upon millions of Dragonkind gathered at the city would have been wiped out.

His level might have risen several times in a row.

At that moment, a warm current flowed in from the void.

“The power of faith.”

It had always been present, but now it surged with unusual intensity.

Lin Moyu immediately understood—Antares was up to his old tricks again.

Sure enough, the live broadcast had resumed.

He showed no mercy to anyone, striking with equal ruthlessness across all sides.

The activation of Undead Gaze had obliterated an entire Demon city in an instant, shocking the people who were watching.

No one had ever witnessed such a skill before. It was overwhelmingly powerful and utterly terrifying.

Once again, countless people became fervent admirers of Lin Moyu, their faith converging into a formidable force.

The power of faith greatly benefited the soul. It stabilized the soul world while gradually elevating the soul’s rank.

Though the power of faith wasn’t pure enough, Lin Moyu had the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal, allowing him to refine it.

As the power of faith flowed in continuously, it transformed into soul force. His soul world grew increasingly stable, and his soul’s rank rose steadily.

That was the characteristic of the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal—its progress was slow but exceptionally stable.

This reflected the Dragon Race’s nature: with their immense longevity, they valued solid foundation and stability over speed.

Before long, Lin Moyu discovered another city.

This one was different.

Even from afar, he could sense the presence of a Demon King. It was a king city.

The structure of the Abyss was different from that of the Dragonkind World.

Each region was ruled by a Demon King, and the city where they resided was known as a king city.

Surrounding it were several smaller cities, forming the Demon King’s domain.

As Lin Moyu approached, he saw that a barrier had already been erected.

News of his arrival had clearly spread among the Abyss Demons.

Unfortunately for them, barriers meant nothing to him.

A Demon King rose to the top of the city wall, gazing at Lin Moyu through the barrier.

“Lin Moyu, you’ve got some nerve barging into the Abyss World!”

“I advise you to leave at once. The Abyss is not the Dragonkind World. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave later.”

“Once the Demon Emperor intervenes, your death is certain.”

Lin Moyu regarded him as one would an idiot.

This wasn’t his first visit to the Abyss—there was no way the Demon King didn’t know that.

The bravado was hollow; beneath it lay obvious fear.

After all, Lin Moyu had slaughtered Dragon Kings as easily as butchering livestock.

He couldn’t be bothered to respond.

A mere low-tier Demon King, at most level 92, what was he worth?

The Demons looked down on the humans. The humans did the same.

Lin Moyu raised a finger toward the sky.

The phenomenon appeared once more. The undead world unfolded.

Silver-white flames spread across the heavens as the sky peeled open like a vast scroll.

Then, the Undead Eye descended, gazing upon the entire city.

Among humans, there was a saying: when you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss gazes back at you.

It originated from a class user describing the Abyss Gate in the Dimensional Battlefield—a profound and mysterious spatial channel.

But now, that saying needed to change to: when you gaze upon the undead, the undead gaze back at you.

And this “undead” naturally referred to the Undead Eye.

Unlike the Abyss Gate, which returned nothing, gazing upon the Undead Eye carried consequences.

The moment the Undead Eye appeared, undeath flames ignited within its depths, entwined with the law of undeath.

Every Demon saw their own reflection in that dreadful eye.

A surge of danger struck the Demon King. His hair bristled, and he flapped his wings, trying to escape.

He crushed an Abyss Stone, tearing open a teleportation channel beside him.

He tried to step inside, but it was already too late.

As half its body slipped into the spatial channel, the Undead Eye swept across him.

The Demon King froze instantly, unable to move.

A heartbeat later, he let out a miserable scream, and his body exploded.

From the wreckage, Lin Moyu saw a much smaller Demon burst free and dive headfirst into the teleportation channel.

“There’s actually such a life-saving ability. The Demons really have all kinds of abilities...”

Compared to the Dragonkind, the Abyss Demons were far more troublesome.

The Dragonkind possessed greater raw strength, but the Demons wielded a variety of strange abilities.

With the Demon King’s escape, panic spread instantly.

Across the city, Demons crushed their own Teleportation Stones, scrambling to flee.

If even the Demon King had run, what reason did they have to stay?

But not everyone had a Teleportation Stone, and not everyone was fast enough.

The Undead Eye swept across the king city with absolute authority.

Wherever its gaze fell, silence followed.

There were no screams, no resistance, only death.

Lin Moyu’s EXP surged.

After slaughtering two cities in succession, his progress had risen sharply. A few more would be enough to level up.

Each level now brought a significant increase in soul force, allowing him to move more skill star cores.

Once those skill star cores were converted into star-grade law arts, the power of his skills would increase dramatically.

Back at level 81, when attacking a city, he had to rely on the undead army to break through the barrier.

That barrier was strong enough to withstand forbidden spells; even the undead army would need one or two minutes to shatter it.

Now, a single Undead Gaze could wipe out an entire city, far more effective than forbidden spells or the undead army.

This was the benefit of converting skills into law arts.

Still, the undead army had its own uses.

1,000 Headless Knights appeared at his command, charging in all directions to scout.

With the king city here, smaller cities had to be nearby.

Since searching on his own was too inefficient, it was better to let the Headless Knights do it.

Before long, the Headless Knights reported back.

Four smaller cities surrounded the king city, guarding it from each direction.

But the Demons there had already received word and fled, leaving behind only a handful of stray souls.

Lin Moyu didn’t bother going there. It wasn’t worth the effort.

Instead, he dispatched more Headless Knights, spreading them across the Abyss to locate other king cities.

By now, the entire Abyss must know of his presence.

Moreover, quite a few Demons had escaped this time. They would surely attempt to devise a countermeasure.

Demons were not fools. At the very least, they were far smarter than the single-minded Dragonkind.

If they couldn’t find a way to deal with him, they would likely disperse completely.

Though their numbers were vast, if they scattered, hunting them down individually would be very inefficient.

So Lin Moyu chose the simplest solution: destroy as many cities as possible before that happened.

If the Demons fled, he could always return to the Dragonkind World and pay the Dragon Emperor another visit.

Should the Dragon Emperor dare to gather the Dragonkind again, he would give him an unforgettable experience.

Across the Abyss, tens of thousands of Headless Knights streaked through the air, trailing silver flames.

Soon, one king city after another was discovered.

Lin Moyu selected the nearest and descended upon it, bringing death along with him.
