Chapter 580: Curiosity Killed the Cat
Shulin Moyu began moving skills again. Lin
This time it was much smoother, at least he didn’t have to spend time and effort searching for the skill space.
The door to the skill space had already been opened, firmly locked by the soul.
All Lin Moyu had to do was move the skill star cores inside to his soul.
At this moment, he was like a worker moving bricks, moving bricks from one point to another.
With his soul strength, he could currently handle two skill star cores.
His soul strength was equivalent to that of a level 90 god-level powerhouse, which was his current limit.
As his level increased and his soul grew stronger, he could gradually move more and more skill star cores out until he emptied the skill space.
Antares watched Lin Moyu’s efforts to move bricks, his eyes filled with deep confusion.
"Strange, why did the Divine Cauldron choose this brat?"
"Could it be that this brat has something I haven’t understood?"
"What is so special about this brat? Is there anything in this world that I don’t understand?" Antares stared at Lin Moyu, unable to figure it out.
There were many things it didn’t understand, but it would never admit it.
Antares couldn’t remember how many years it had been here. Although it spent most of its time sleeping, most of the events in the world couldn’t escape its notice.
It had many avatars, so many that it couldn’t even remember them all.
But Lin Moyu’s appearance still surprised it.
Over the years, the only one who had surprised him was Lin Moyu, the only one.
Unable to figure it out, Antares closed his eyes again and began to pretend to sleep.
Part of its attention was still on Lin Moyu, increasingly feeling that this guy was a bit strange, the kind of strange it couldn’t understand.
Recently, the entire human world had exploded.
The disaster of the Soul Devouring Beasts began to erupt all over the world.
Various forces finally found information about the Soul Devouring Beasts from ancient records.
Just a few words, but they were enough to make them panic.
They finally understood what the Shenxia Empire had been doing before.
Originally, it had nothing to do with them, but the funny thing was that they brought the disaster out of the Shenxia Empire themselves. Now the Shenxia Empire had sealed the country, and no one could get in.
There was only one channel to communicate with the Shenxia Empire.
They sought help from the Shenxia Empire but were decisively rejected.
No matter what good words they said, it was useless.
Various forces united to put pressure on the Shenxia Empire.
They forgot who the real boss was.
When had the Shenxia Empire ever been afraid?
When the pressure was ineffective, the various forces united to save themselves.
But whether it was potions or formations, they had neither the ability nor the foundation.
They could only know the name of the Soul Devouring Beasts, which was nothing compared to the Shenxia Empire.
This was the gap. A disaster of the Soul Devouring Beasts made the various forces deeply realize the gap between themselves and the Shenxia Empire. Finally, the various forces began to soften and seek help.
After dragging it out for more than ten days, the Shenxia Empire finally revealed their trump card.
Soul Fusion Potion!
The Shenxia Empire could sell them the formula for the Soul Fusion Potion, but the price was not cheap.
No gold coins were needed, but a large amount of materials and treasures were required in exchange.
At the same time, the main material needed for the Soul Fusion Potion, Red Stone, could also be supplied by the Shenxia Empire, but the price was also not low.
Moreover, the Red Stone had a quota, and only forces that purchased the formula for the Soul Fusion Potion were eligible to buy a certain amount.
This was also to prevent the second-hand resale of the potion formula.
The Shenxia Empire also clearly told them that the longer the delay, the more difficult it would be to solve the Soul Devouring Beasts.
Every few days, the number of people parasitized by the Soul Devouring Beasts would multiply.
The various forces and countries had no choice but to agree to all the demands of the Shenxia Empire to solve the Soul Devouring Beasts as soon as possible.
They really used the power of the whole country to buy the potion formula and materials.
Some forces did not have high-level alchemists, so the Shenxia Empire also sold finished Soul Fusion Potions. Of course, the price was even higher.
This time, the Shenxia Empire suffered a lot of losses, so they decided to make a big profit.
Otherwise, many countries far overseas would not have been affected by the Soul Devouring Beasts at all.
You reap what you sow, curiosity killed the cat.
These days, Dongfang Yi was in a great mood.
The originally depleted national treasury was becoming full again, even surpassing its previous state.
Not only that, but their strength was also increasing.
As the soul became stronger and the skill fusion degree increased, their strength naturally increased.
This was even more so for Bai Yiyuan, Meng Anwen, and others.
Meng Anwen was originally just one step away from level 96.
Level 96 was a threshold. In addition to moving the skill star cores, it also required comprehending the corresponding laws and integrating them into the skills.
Meng Anwen comprehended the laws of formations, but he was always one step away.
This time, after the soul enhancement, he finally took that last step.
He was now comprehending the laws every day, getting closer and closer to level 96.
Bai Yiyuan was the same. Although his progress was slightly behind Meng Anwen, stepping into level 96 was only a matter of time.
A disaster of the Soul Devouring Beasts was a huge opportunity for the Shenxia Empire.
As long as a few high-level god-level powerhouses could emerge in the Shenxia Empire, the throne of the world’s strongest country would be firmly secured. Even a small country like Sakura Country, even if they revealed all their trump cards and the God of Will awakened, it would be useless. The God of Will could only erupt with the power equivalent to level 98 for a short time, which was indeed stronger than level 96. But a level 96 god-level powerhouse also mastered the laws, and they were actually on the same level. Even if they couldn’t win, they could hold on for a while. As long as they held on for a while, Sakura Country would be waiting for its destruction. Moreover, it was impossible for the Shenxia Empire to have only one level 96 high-level god-level powerhouse. Not to mention Jiang Yi was about to be resurrected. By then, any force that didn’t listen could be knocked around. It could be imagined that it wouldn’t be long before all countries would kneel at the feet of the Shenxia Empire.
Lin Moyu used all his soul power, relying on the divine power to quickly recover, moving the skill star cores again and again.
The second skill star core was much more difficult than the first.
It wasn’t that the skill was stronger, but the skill space’s binding force on it had increased.
As more skill star cores were moved out, the binding force on the remaining skill star cores in the skill space would only get stronger.
The further it went, the harder it would be.
Although it was difficult, Lin Moyu was full of confidence.
He believed that he would eventually empty the skill space and integrate all the skill star cores into his soul.
In addition, there were even more difficult talent bricks waiting for him.
If he couldn’t even empty the skill space, how could he talk about moving talents?
Finally, after more than ten days of continuous effort, the second skill star core was moved out of the skill space.
The moment it was moved out, Lin Moyu felt a lightness all over.
Without the binding force of the skill space, the skill star core suddenly became light.
This time, it wasn’t a passive skill but an active skill.
It was Lin Moyu’s strongest trump card skill for a period of time: Corpse Explosion!
After the Elemental Lich appeared, the frequency of using this skill greatly decreased.
Although Corpse Explosion was powerful, it had too many limitations.
It required fresh corpses, and only if the corpses were strong enough could this skill exert its powerful effect.
When facing some overly powerful enemies, there couldn’t be any corpses around.
Corpse Explosion was actually more suitable for group killing.
But now there was the Skeleton King, and the two group attack skills of the Skeleton King were enough to replace Corpse Explosion.
So this once godly skill had been shelved by Lin Moyu and used very little recently.
Although it was used less, Lin Moyu always had high expectations for this skill.
He didn’t know what changes would occur after it fused with his soul.
After all, this skill was only level 7, just a bit higher than Lightning Undead Wings.
The blame was on this skill being too difficult to train.
When the second skill star core settled in the soul, the entire soul shook again.
This time, the shaking lasted a long time, a full half day, and it never stopped.
During the shaking, the Corpse Explosion skill star core continuously devoured soul energy.
Compared to the previous Damage Transfer skill star core, it absorbed even more crazily.
Lin Moyu gritted his teeth and let it absorb as much as it wanted.
The divine power once again played a huge role, with a recovery ability of 6900%, making the soul’s recovery speed astonishing.
Lin Moyu’s entire aura surged, waking up Antares.
Antares said in a low voice, "This skill seems a bit strong."
For some reason, it felt a hint of danger from Lin Moyu’s aura.
It seemed that the skill Lin Moyu was currently fusing could harm it.
Knowing it was impossible, Antares was still extremely surprised.
