Chapter 504: You Haven’t Passed My Test Yet
Antares was drowsy, its eyelids still trembling.
It had just awakened, but didn’t have any morning grumpiness. Instead, its eyes showed joy.
Not far from it, a space-time passage was forming.
The aura of the dragon pearl transmitted from the space-time passage.
Lin Moyu had returned, bringing back its dragon pearl.
Seconds later, Lin Moyu walked out of the space-time passage.
At this moment, Antares closed its eyes again, pretending to be indifferent.
But its trembling eyelids betrayed it.
Lin Moyu found it somewhat amusing. This being that had lived for who knows how many years and was unfathomably strong, was now acting like a child.
How could it not know he had returned?
It just wanted to tell him the dragon pearl wasn’t actually that important.
Was it afraid he would ask for too much in their deal?
But this method was a bit too childish.
"Antares, wake up, I’m back."
Lin Moyu played along with Antares, deliberately raising his voice.
Antares still had no reaction. Lin Moyu laughed inwardly, "It’s acting quite seriously."
"Antares, wake up, I’m back."
He used an even louder voice and called twice more.
Antares finally stirred, slowly lifting its eyelids to reveal dragon eyes much larger than Lin Moyu’s entire body.
"Oh, you’re back."
Lin Moyu took out the dragon pearl, "I’ve brought back the dragon pearl you wanted."
Antares made a sound of acknowledgment and casually inhaled, sucking the dragon pearl into its mouth.
Though it looked unconcerned, Lin Moyu could tell it was actually very anxious.
The dragon pearl was clearly very important to it, but for some reason Lin Moyu couldn’t understand, it couldn’t retrieve it itself and had to entrust others.
This had been going on for many, many years. Jiang Yi had once helped Antares obtain a dragon pearl too.
As for whether anyone else had made deals with Antares, Lin Moyu didn’t know.
This creature was too proud, proud beyond measure.
The vast majority of people weren’t worthy in its eyes. Even Yan Kuangsheng, who used to be on par with Bai Yiyuan, wasn’t regarded highly by it.
Naturally, the same went for Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen.
Antares snorted lightly. Lin Moyu felt a gust of wind nearly blow him away.
Then, many solidified Fire God blood essences flew over in an orderly line, landing neatly in front of Lin Moyu.
Antares said, "This is the final payment for our deal."
Lin Moyu didn’t stand on ceremony and directly collected the Fire God blood essences.
A full 100 pieces, not a small amount.
Using them, Lin Moyu could summon the Flame Lich 100 times, unleashing 100 pseudo-god level attacks.
Previously, Lin Moyu had valued the Fire God blood essences highly.
But now, with the Poison God’s corpse in hand, containing large amounts of Poison God blood essence, the need for Fire God blood essence wasn’t as high.
Antares said softly, "We’ve completed our first deal. You’ve passed my test. Now we can discuss a real deal."
Before Antares could state the contents of the deal, Lin Moyu interrupted, "Antares, before we discuss the deal, I have some questions."
"More questions?" Antares said, "If you want my answers, there’s a price. My answers can be considered a down payment for our second deal!"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "No, that’s not acceptable."
Antares suddenly exhaled a violent aura, its huge dragon eyes staring fixedly at Lin Moyu.
It wanted to see where Lin Moyu got the courage to speak to it like this.
Antares’ breath was much fiercer than the wind on the Wind Thunder Continent. "You brat, do you know who you’re talking to? No one has ever dared to bargain with me."
Lin Moyu wasn’t afraid at all, "There wasn’t before, but there is now."
"You say I passed your test, but you haven’t passed my test yet."
The angry Antares suddenly froze, then burst into laughter, "Your test? What test of yours!"
Lin Moyu said, "Don’t you claim to be all-knowing?"
Antares said proudly, "Of course. There’s nothing in this world I don’t know."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "During our first deal, I asked you a question. Your answer was wrong."
"So, you haven’t passed my test. I can’t judge whether your answers are right or wrong, so I need to consider whether we can proceed with a second deal."
Antares suddenly let out a dragon roar, "Impossible! I’ve never been wrong!"
Seeing Antares’ reaction, Lin Moyu knew it had taken the bait.
He immediately pressed on, "What if you were wrong?"
Antares brought its head closer, saying very seriously, "If I was wrong, then from now on I’ll answer any questions you have. If you dare deceive me, I’ll eat you."
"It’s a deal, no going back on your word!"
"It’s a deal, I’ll never go back on my word!"
Antares was full of confidence.
It had lived for countless years. Though its main body had never moved from the center of the core area,
It had countless avatars and had witnessed the passage of history and changes of time.
It existed even before the Divine Summer Empire was established.
It was confident there was nothing it didn’t know.
The answers from its mouth couldn’t possibly be wrong.
At this point, Lin Moyu took out a bottle containing black powder, "You should know what this is, right?"
Antares’ dragon eyes stared at the bottle. The next second, its head suddenly retracted and it roared, "Corpse poison!"
Though its huge body didn’t move, its eyes were full of wariness.
Even it was very wary of corpse poison.
Lin Moyu knew Antares would certainly recognize corpse poison. This bottle of corpse poison powder was obtained from Shu Yaoshen.
Taken from the wound of Dong Fangyao’s mother, it was low-grade corpse poison.
"Last time you told me corpse poison had no cure, right?" Lin Moyu asked.
Antares answered without thinking, "Corpse poison comes from a very terrifying forbidden skill. It indeed has no cure."
Lin Moyu opened the bottle. This action made Antares retreat quite a distance again.
It asked warily, "What are you trying to do!"
Lin Moyu smiled, "Just watch."
Saying this, he poured some of the corpse poison onto his hand.
Antares’ eyes widened. What Lin Moyu did was beyond its imagination.
Its big head could no longer comprehend, "Are you trying to die?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Just watch."
After a while, Lin Moyu frowned, "Why isn’t it working?"
At this point he realized he was not only immune to all abnormal states, but now also 100% immune to poison elements.
Whether corpse poison was considered poison or an abnormal state, it had no effect on him at all.
Antares was also dumbfounded, "You... how are you not poisoned? Is this corpse poison fake? Impossible!"
"I’ll tell you in a moment!" After figuring it out, Lin Moyu helplessly summoned a skeleton and poured the corpse poison on it.
He originally didn’t want to use a skeleton to test the poison.
Now with the Focus skill, he could inherit the Lich General’s skills and use them on himself.
He could also detoxify that way.
Unfortunately, he still ended up using a skeleton.
After being sprinkled with corpse poison, the skeleton was immediately poisoned.
Black smoke characteristic of corpse poison emerged from its entire body.
Lin Moyu said, "My skeleton is now poisoned with corpse poison, right?"
Antares was completely confused by Lin Moyu now, nodding instinctively, "That’s right."
At this point Lin Moyu summoned another Lich General.
With a flash of white light, the corpse poison on the skeleton directly disappeared.
The skeleton was deathly white, showing no signs of corpse poison at all.
Antares blinked repeatedly, unable to believe what it was seeing, "This... is impossible."
"This isn’t right, it’s impossible!"
It kept repeating itself, simply not believing what it was seeing.
Lin Moyu said, "The facts are right before your eyes. The supposedly incurable corpse poison, I can neutralize it."
"I originally wanted to experiment on myself, but I can’t be poisoned anymore."
Antares immediately looked over, "That’s right, why aren’t you afraid of corpse poison?"
Lin Moyu said, "My passive skill makes me immune to all abnormal states, and my poison immunity has reached 100%."
Antares let out another strange cry, "Impossible, there can’t be such a skill, and humans’ elemental immunity upper limit is 90%, how can there be 100% immunity?"
Lin Moyu spread his hands, "See, there are things you don’t know again."
