Chapter 873: 873 **Chapter 873: Giving You One Last Chance to Kill Me** "I’m leaving," Lin Muyu said, looking at Antares. They stared at each other, both feeling a sense of reluctance. Lin Muyu didn’t have many friends, and Antares was one of the most important ones. Antares had even fewer friends, with Lin Muyu being his only one. Although Antares felt reluctant, he didn’t show it. "Get lost, get lost. Once you’re gone, I can finally get some good sleep," he said gruffly. Lin Muyu smiled slightly, "How much longer will it take?" Antares replied, "Soon, just another one or two hundred years." Lin Muyu nodded, "Come find me then." "By that time, you better not be too weak. I have a reputation to uphold. Having a weak friend is embarrassing!" Antares grumbled, shaking his head. Lin Muyu gently patted Antares on the head. "Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you." "Before I leave, I’ll give you one last chance to kill me. I’m afraid you won’t get another chance in the future." Antares laughed and unleashed a fierce dragon breath on Lin Muyu. A space-time tunnel opened, and Lin Muyu was engulfed by the dragon breath, sent directly into deep space. Surrounded by the dragon breath, Lin Muyu’s innate purple glow had not yet completely faded. This time, Antares used the power of a sixth-stage true god, causing Lin Muyu’s undead form to collapse five times, thereby activating his innate ability. After Lin Muyu stepped into the super god level, the power of a fifth-stage true god was no longer enough to trigger his innate ability; it required at least a sixth-stage true god. Lin Muyu understood that Antares was reminding him not to be complacent and showing him his limits. A sixth-stage true god could kill him with two strikes. If it were a fifth-stage true god, it would take three strikes. This strike was Antares’ final gift. Lin Muyu spread his undead wings and flew swiftly towards the Starlight Ancient Path. A few minutes later, he arrived at the entrance of the Starlight Ancient Path. The swamp was still there, but the giant swamp lizard was gone. In deep space, there are rules. Monsters that die will respawn after a certain period, similar to the rules of the human world but independent of each other. The giant swamp lizard would also respawn after some time. From a distance, Lin Muyu saw Lilian standing in front of the Starlight Ancient Path, seemingly confronting the gatekeeper puppet. Lilian did not attack, and the gatekeeper puppet, holding a sword, did not make a move either, just remaining vigilant. Seeing Lin Muyu’s presence, Lilian’s furrowed brows relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her cold face. "You finally came." Her words sounded like those of a lover who had been waiting for a long time. Coupled with Lilian’s beautiful face, it was easy to misunderstand. Lin Muyu showed no expression as he approached Lilian, only responding with a light "hmm" to acknowledge her. At this moment, he felt a bit lonely, having said goodbye to his wives and friends and about to venture into an unfamiliar place. His aura was somewhat low. In contrast, Lilian seemed relaxed, ready to enter the great world where the sky was the limit. Her usually cold and emotionless face now bore a slight smile. As for the gatekeeper puppet, she showed no concern. Lin Muyu cupped his hands towards the puppet, "Senior, we wish to enter the Starlight Ancient Path." The puppet replied, "You may enter, but she cannot." Lilian stared at the puppet, a cold smile on her face, "Do you think you can stop me?" The puppet chuckled, "You can try." It had guarded the Starlight Ancient Path for countless years. For a small fry like Lilian, who was only at the first stage of the super god level, trying to break through was simply courting death. Looking at Lin Muyu, who was also only at the first stage of the super god level, the puppet said, "I told you before, don’t go to the Starlight Ancient Path to die unless you reach the third stage of the super god level." Lilian wanted to say something, but Lin Muyu glanced at her, signaling her to stay quiet. Lilian returned his gaze, indicating she would give him face this time. Lin Muyu said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. We should be fine." The puppet replied, "I’m just giving you a kind reminder, not stopping you. If you insist on going to your death, be my guest." "As for her, she is not a native being. According to the rules, she cannot enter unless..." Lin Muyu asked, "Unless what?" "Unless she can defeat me. Do you see the Starlight Ancient Path behind me? There is no door. No matter what method you use, as long as you can get inside, I won’t stop you." The puppet pointed behind him, where indeed a path woven from starlight lay. The entrance was not large, blocked by the puppet. The puppet’s job was to guard the entrance. As long as one could get inside, it was no longer his concern. The situation was clear: either defeat the puppet, kill it, or retreat without forcing entry. Lin Muyu didn’t know the puppet’s strength, but if people from the previous era could get through, he believed he could too. His cooperation with Lilian was not yet over, and sending her into the Starlight Ancient Path was part of their agreement. Lin Muyu would not go back on his word. "Senior, forgive me." Lin Muyu lightly called out, his hands glowing faintly. The Undead Law emerged, flying towards the puppet. The puppet’s body also emitted a law, enveloping it. The puppet’s entire body glowed with a bronze light, tinged with dark red. "It’s useless. I use the Copper-Iron Law. My body is extremely tough, capable of withstanding attacks from a fifth-stage super god." "You, a mere first-stage super god..." Before he could finish, the puppet let out a strange cry. Lin Muyu’s Undead Law had already reached the puppet, causing the bronze light on its body to change rapidly. The originally golden bronze body quickly dimmed. In the blink of an eye, the bronze surface began to rot, exposing the internal structure. The copper skin and iron bones, combined with the Copper-Iron Law, made the puppet’s defense indeed strong. Unfortunately, its law met Lin Muyu’s Undead Law, which expressed the aspect of death, bringing everything to a standstill. The puppet’s copper skin quickly rotted, and the iron bones inside were also affected. The puppet roared, "What kind of law is this? Why is it so powerful?" "You’re not a first-stage super god. You can’t be." The puppet shouted in disbelief. It swung its sword, sending a hundred-meter-long sword energy towards Lin Muyu. Lin Muyu moved swiftly, flapping his undead wings to dodge. Lilian casually stepped to the side, instantly appearing a hundred meters away. The puppet still blocked the entrance, not moving aside. "Senior, I’m making my move," Lin Muyu said, lightly pointing his finger. Fusion Spell: Time Curse! The puppet’s body trembled slightly but did not scream. It was a puppet, and its soul was crafted through special means, devoid of pain. But Lin Muyu wasn’t aiming for the puppet’s screams. "So it’s a soul attack. It’s useless, useless." The puppet’s Time Law changed, accelerating time many times over. Under the accelerated time, the Undead Law’s power increased, quickly creating large holes in the puppet’s body. "Impossible, what’s happening? What kind of law is this?" The puppet’s voice now carried a hint of fear. ---
