Chapter 652: It’s the User’s Limit, Not the Skill’s Limit
The god core of the Sound God emitted a dazzling radiance.
The god core is the essence of a god, possessing extremely powerful strength.
This monster had clearly absorbed some power from the god core, becoming extremely powerful.
Just like the Poison Python back then, which became powerful after absorbing the Poison God’s power.
But no matter how powerful, it was nothing special in Lin Moyu’s eyes.
In the lower space, except for a few special existences, even the strongest had limits.
At least the monster before him didn’t belong to those special existences.
In his soul’s perception, this was a giant octopus.
Each tentacle was over a thousand meters long, with huge suction cups.
Dark liquid flowed inside its semi-transparent body. Lin Moyu guessed it was probably venom.
Octopus-type monsters could all spray ink, and this one probably could too.
Lin Moyu didn’t take it seriously. It seemed to sense the threat as well, its pair of crimson eyes staring fixedly at Lin Moyu.
Eight tentacles surrounded the god core, but it didn’t dare touch it.
Law power entwined around the god core, as if protecting itself from being touched by foreign objects.
Lin Moyu suddenly thought of the immaculateness in the Kunlun Divine Palace.
It shouldn’t be the work of the Kunlun Great God, so it must be the Sound God’s doing.
The Sound God with obsessive cleanliness wouldn’t allow even her left-behind god core to be touched by filthy things.
The Sound Bell in Lin Moyu’s hand kept emitting soft chimes, resonating with the god core.
The Sound Bell seemed to have encountered an old friend not seen for years, constantly calling out.
The god core was the same, constantly breathing towards the Sound Bell.
Lin Moyu sensed various emotions between the two - longing, urgency, return, etc.
The commotion between the two grew larger, bursting out with astonishing radiance.
The Sound Bell kept shaking, wanting to break free from Lin Moyu’s grasp and fly towards the god core.
"Don’t worry, I’ll take you back."
After he said this with his soul voice, the Sound Bell and god core suddenly quieted down.
Many monsters had already come over, surrounding Lin Moyu.
These monsters seemed to know Lin Moyu and were aware of how terrifying he was, but had to come due to the octopus’s summons.
Lin Moyu cast a Detection spell on the octopus.
"Let me see, after absorbing a bit of the god core’s power, how strong you’ve become."
The god core’s power wasn’t easy to absorb. It belonged to gods and was very difficult to utilize.
Especially the Sound God’s god core, which possessed laws and was a high-grade god core.
[Deep Sea Giant Octopus (World-class BOSS)]
[Level: 88]
[Strength: 2,800,000]
[Agility: 1,500,000]
[Spirit: 1,000,000]
[Constitution: 2,700,000]
[Skills: Death Entanglement, Toxic Ink, Deadly Suction Cups]
[Traits: Water Element Immunity, Poison Element Damage Reduced by 50%, Physical Damage Reduced by 50%, Limb Sacrifice]
Total attributes of 8 million, a top-tier world-class BOSS.
Invincible below god-level.
Its attributes were slightly stronger than other level 88 BOSSes, increased by about 800,000.
This seemed to be the result of it absorbing the god core’s power.
The god core’s power was too difficult to utilize. Even after absorbing for so many years, it only increased its attributes by this much.
The Deep Sea Giant Octopus violently waved its eight tentacles, like a signal. All the monsters attacked Lin Moyu simultaneously.
Lin Moyu’s mind moved, activating skills.
Skill: Summon Skeleton King!
Skill: Focus!
This was the first time using Focus after obtaining it.
The undead army was overhead, tens of thousands of meters away.
The water pressure here was too great, unsuitable for the undead army to fight.
However, Lin Moyu summoned the Skeleton King before using Focus.
It wasn’t to use the Skeleton King to fight, but Lin Moyu wanted to try if he could inherit the Skeleton King’s skills and attributes.
The Skeleton King’s attributes came from skeletons. If he could inherit its attributes again, wouldn’t that be double inheritance?
If it really worked, it would be like a cheat skill.
An astonishing aura suddenly burst from Lin Moyu’s body, god-level aura rolling out.
[Focus (99% Fusion): Consume soul power to gather the power of summons, inherit all skills of summons. Attributes after using skills are only limited by the user’s own soul level. While in Focus state, killing enemies can harvest their souls, replenish own soul consumption, and improve own soul level.]
Focus was an origin skill, with a high fusion rate of 99%.
It could ignore law restrictions, only limited by Lin Moyu’s soul level.
It also had no cooldown, only consuming soul power.
As long as soul power was sufficient, this state could be maintained year-round.
"Soul power consumption is so fast!"
This was the first time using an origin skill. The speed of soul power consumption was quite astonishing.
His soul power could only last 10 seconds at most.
However, this skill could replenish soul consumption by killing enemies, and even improve soul level.
As for how much could be replenished or improved, it was unknown.
After using Focus, Lin Moyu checked his attributes.
[Strength: ]
[Agility: ]
[Spirit: ]
[Constitution: ]
[Skills: God Slaying, Elemental Chaos, Absolute Defense, Berserk Strike, Soul Shooting, Legion Enhancement, Legion Healing, Elimination, Charge, Group Defense]
Total attributes of 12 million, the attributes of a level 92 god-level expert.
Limited by soul level, 12 million was Lin Moyu’s current attribute limit, but not the skill’s limit.
As Lin Moyu’s soul level improved, this skill would only get stronger.
What surprised Lin Moyu most was that the Monarch’s Scepter still worked, its attribute bonus unaffected.
This way, Lin Moyu’s attributes broke through the level 92 limit, even surpassing level 93.
14 million attributes were already in the realm of level 94.
The Monarch’s Scepter still working was unexpected, while inheriting the Skeleton King’s skills was expected.
He took out a platinum-grade greatsword from his storage space.
For Lin Moyu, the level of the sword didn’t matter, as long as it was a sword.
Skill: Elemental Chaos!
Without any targeting, Lin Moyu detonated the skill at maximum range, attacking comprehensively.
The calm seabed of the Azure Dragon Sea instantly became explosive.
The sea trench canyon exploded, most of the Azure Dragon Sea boiling.
Countless monsters were instantly killed, turning into soul power flowing in.
It was as if a giant hand had plundered all the tightly gripped souls of the monsters.
Experience increased, skill duration also increased. The soul power consumed by Focus was instantly replenished, with even some surplus.
Lin Moyu also felt his soul level improving, though only a negligible bit, but still not bad.
If he kept using Focus to kill enemies in the future, over time it would have considerable benefits for his soul.
This was a miraculous skill. Origin skills were far more miraculous than he had imagined.
With one strike, tens of thousands of monsters were instantly killed.
The remaining monsters fled with terrified cries.
The Deep Sea Giant Octopus was also injured in the explosion. Lin Moyu’s attack was too strong. Even without targeting it specifically, it couldn’t withstand it.
Ink seeped from its wounds, dyeing the seawater black.
It was extremely terrified, not understanding how this guy before it could be so powerful.
It didn’t need to understand. A bright sword light had already flashed on Lin Moyu’s sword.
Skill: God Slaying!
The Deep Sea Giant Octopus sensed the threat of death and turned to flee with a scream.
At this point, things like god cores didn’t matter anymore. What use was a god core if it couldn’t keep its life?
Sword light lit up on the Deep Sea Giant Octopus’s body, slicing it into pieces like tofu.
But the next second, its body reversed time, restoring to its original state.
Only one of its eight tentacles was missing.
The Deep Sea Giant Octopus’s trait: Limb Sacrifice.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Eight tentacles, can substitute death eight times. Not a bad skill."
He clenched his fist, activating a skill he hadn’t used in a long time.
Skill: Bone Prison!
This skill hadn’t been used for a long time. Since his combat power became strong, this skill’s usefulness decreased.
But now, Lin Moyu used it again.
The fleeing Deep Sea Giant Octopus paused for an instant. The level 76 Bone Prison could only trap it for about half a second.
Half a second was long, enough to be fatal!
Lin Moyu activated the Charge skill, instantly crossing thousands of meters, catching up to the Deep Sea Giant Octopus.
The greatsword swung, slashing out countless sword lights.
With level 94 attributes, he completely outmatched the Deep Sea Giant Octopus.
Even without using skills, each strike had powerful destructive force.
The Deep Sea Giant Octopus was enveloped in sword light, screaming incessantly, unable to escape or counterattack.
Tentacles broke one by one, each break representing one death.
In less than 10 seconds, as the sword light faded, the Deep Sea Giant Octopus had been thoroughly sliced to pieces.
All nine Limb Sacrifices were exhausted. It was completely dead.
