Chapter 1396: 1396 Chapter 1396: The Brightest Star in Nearly a Thousand Years With a thought, Lin Moyu actively suppressed the damage transfer, no longer letting the undead share the damage. In an instant, a wound appeared on his skin, not like an external cut by a sharp blade, but more like an internal explosion. The wound wasn’t large, just a superficial injury, and no blood flowed out. Lin Moyu controlled his own blood, preventing it from flowing out. An invisible force continuously squeezed from the outside to the inside, causing one wound after another to appear, like balloons constantly bursting. The sound of skin cracking and Lin Moyu’s strong heartbeat formed a terrifying symphony. In the blink of an eye, Lin Moyu was covered in wounds, his entire body filled with injuries, looking extremely horrifying. In the next second, Lin Moyu’s entire body glowed with a white light. The power of life from the Undying Law flowed throughout his body, healing the wounds at an astonishing speed. The healing power of the Undying Law was even stronger than that of the Life Law. Small wounds were no problem at all. The Undying Law rippled through his body, quickly healing the wounds wherever it passed. The sound of cracking continued, and his skin kept bursting open, but the healing never stopped. "It really hurts!" Lin Moyu gritted his teeth in pain. Due to the existence of damage transfer, he rarely got injured. Even when he died many times while practicing skills, it was mostly instant death. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of being cut by a dull knife. The pain was continuous, seemingly endless. Lin Moyu felt both pain and joy, constantly exploring his true limits. As he got closer to the ninth layer, the squeezing force had already surpassed the True God realm, stepping into the God King realm. Each wound that burst open was much larger, and blood began to uncontrollably fly out. The blood, containing powerful life force, dripped into the desolate void, adding a strange color to this silent world. The Undying Law became even more frenzied, healing faster and faster. The laws here were also being squeezed, with a large number of laws compressed together, becoming clearer and thicker. Similarly, fine control became more difficult. What originally required only a single strand now required dozens or even hundreds of strands. Moreover, the consumption during manipulation also increased accordingly. As a result, the requirements for controlling the laws became higher. Lin Moyu, relying on his powerful soul, tried to control the laws as finely as possible. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 Here, besides tempering the physical body and comprehending the laws, one could also train in controlling the laws. Stronger control over the laws could also enhance one’s strength. Overall, this place was indeed marvelous. For Lin Moyu, the least pressure came from his soul, as its quality was too high. A fourth-grade peak soul allowed him to handle it with ease. Lin Moyu’s entire body glowed with white light, like a giant light bulb, illuminating the dark night sky. The Undying Law fully converted into the power of life, continuously operating, striving to heal Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu stopped and saw a person quietly sitting cross-legged in the starry sky. In the ninth layer area, a senior of the Human Race was cultivating. His body constantly fluctuated, sometimes sinking, sometimes expanding, fighting against the squeezing force in the void. Lin Moyu clasped his fists and saluted, "Greetings, Senior." The other person slowly opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat scattered and indifferent, "It’s been a long time since anyone came to the ninth layer." The voice abruptly stopped, and the scattered gaze instantly focused, becoming as sharp as a sword, filled with shock. "A True God!" The slightly hoarse voice struggled to utter two words. He seemed unable to believe what he was seeing. The Lin Moyu before him was actually a True God. "How could it be a True God!" After staring for a few seconds, he had to admit that the person before him was indeed a True God. A True God coming to the ninth layer area was unheard of. He could see that Lin Moyu’s physical body couldn’t withstand the squeezing force here; otherwise, he wouldn’t be injured. This place had already surpassed Lin Moyu’s limits. But because Lin Moyu’s law healing speed was too fast, constantly getting injured and recovering, it allowed Lin Moyu to reach here. "So, it’s borrowing the power of the laws, the Life Law." With this thought, he could accept the fact and mistakenly identified Lin Moyu’s law as the Life Law. He stared at Lin Moyu, and Lin Moyu stared back at him. Lin Moyu felt a similar aura to the Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva from him. This was a minor deity. At the same time, he also felt a sense of threat. This minor deity was much stronger than the Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva, strong enough to kill him. His skin vibrated continuously without getting injured, clearly able to withstand the pressure here. A minor deity’s realm, a God King’s physical body, and meticulous control over the laws. All indicated his immense combat power. The hoarse voice sounded again, "Young man, what’s your name?" Lin Moyu respectfully saluted, "Junior Lin Moyu. May I ask Senior’s name?" "Xiao Sheng!" The two words thundered in Lin Moyu’s mind. In the information he had read, many records mentioned Xiao Sheng. The star of the Human Race, invincible in the same realm, able to fight across realms, the successor of the God of War—all pointed to the same person, Xiao Sheng. Xiao Sheng was known as the brightest star in the Human Race in nearly a thousand years, the most dazzling genius. Xiao Sheng had once topped the demons’ must-kill list, but all those who tried to kill him were killed by Xiao Sheng instead. Even those whose realms surpassed Xiao Sheng were no match for him. Xiao Sheng, at the super deity realm, had killed True Gods across realms. At the seventh rank of True God, he had killed God Kings across realms. At the fifth rank of God King, he had slain minor deities. At the ninth rank of God King, he fought a demon deity to a standstill. When he became a minor deity, he fought the same opponent again and killed him. Each battle became a part of his glory and honor. Some called him the reincarnation of the God of War, with the potential to become the second Xiao Zhantian, and the fact that they shared the same surname added to the mystery. In the past two hundred years, Xiao Sheng’s name had faded. He disappeared, and no one knew his whereabouts. Most believed Xiao Sheng had gone into seclusion and would astonish the world when he reappeared. Combining the descriptions in the records, Lin Moyu was certain that the Xiao Sheng before him was the same Xiao Sheng who had topped the demons’ must-kill list. Unexpectedly, the long-vanished Xiao Sheng was cultivating here. "Greetings, Senior Xiao," Lin Moyu saluted Xiao Sheng again, showing respect. Such a person deserved respect. Xiao Sheng looked at Lin Moyu, "Young man, you are very good. It’s great to have such a junior in the Human Race." Although Lin Moyu relied on the laws to reach here, the fact that he could come was what mattered most. Lin Moyu accepted Xiao Sheng’s praise calmly, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior." With just a few words, Lin Moyu could tell that Xiao Sheng was not very talkative. This was similar to himself. Except with friends, Lin Moyu also didn’t talk much. Xiao Sheng pointed around, "It’s empty here. Feel free to choose a spot, but don’t get too close to me. Keep a distance of at least ten thousand kilometers." "Understood," Lin Moyu didn’t ask why, knowing there must be a reason. He also needed some distance. Lin Moyu chose a direction and sat cross-legged ten thousand kilometers away from Xiao Sheng, beginning his cultivation. For now, he didn’t want to go any deeper. Here, the power of life and the squeezing force had reached a balance. Going further would be difficult. Unless he let the undead share the damage, but that wouldn’t benefit him, so it was unnecessary. This place was already his current limit, a perfect spot for a breakthrough. "Let’s begin!"
