Chapter 557: 557 **Chapter 557: New Skill: Summon Skeleton King** In the Abyssal World, within the Demon Emperor’s palace, the Abyssal fire that had burned for countless years had never been extinguished. Lin The Demon Emperor lay lazily on the throne of the palace, its gaze piercing through the endless void, as if it could see the world of humans. A cup filled with a red liquid emitted a powerful energy. This was the blood of the Dragon King, containing immense energy. But now, it was only fit to be a drink. The Demon Emperor slowly spoke, seemingly talking to itself, "The consciousness was obliterated, but the information returned is sufficient." "Another Soul Devouring Beast, the humans still haven’t given up." "Do you really think you can give birth to another super god?" "Stop dreaming, the current era no longer allows for the appearance of super gods!" Suddenly, an angry roar echoed outside the palace. The voice was hoarse, as if it was restricted and couldn’t be fully released. Below the palace, in the only area not covered by flames, a Dragon King from the dragon race was locked there. The blood in the Demon Emperor’s cup came from it. The Demon Emperor drank the dragon blood, savoring the taste, and after licking its lips, it lightly pointed a finger. A phantom blade appeared beneath the Dragon King, its sharpness cutting through the Dragon King’s tough skin. A mass of dragon blood flew out and fell back into the cup. The Demon Emperor began to slowly savor it again, muttering to itself, "Jiang Yi is about to be resurrected, and the humans will have another half-step super god. But alas, a half-step super god is still just a half-step super god!" "After being dead for so many years, why come back to life? You were better off dead." "The Soul Fusion Array, it must be a method obtained from Antares. Antares still leans towards the humans." "Lin Moyu is interesting. I issued a kill order, yet you are still alive and well." "It seems I have to wait until you enter the deeper space to kill you. I’m somewhat looking forward to it!" The Demon Emperor continued to mutter to itself, its faint voice echoing in the palace. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 Here, it was lonely, in an empty palace that had been inhabited for countless years. This was its only way to alleviate its loneliness. Its eyes could see the entire Abyss, even glimpses of the Ancient Battlefield. But so what, after watching for hundreds of years, even the best scenery becomes tiresome. Over the years, few things could interest the Demon Emperor, and Lin Moyu’s appearance was one of them. As for god-level powerhouses like Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen, it only issued a few orders to toy with them when it was bored. The imprisoned Dragon King roared continuously, but its voice was drowned out by the Abyssal fire, unable to be heard. Its eyes were filled with despair, knowing that in the hands of the Demon Emperor, it could only become blood food. The nurturing plan was proceeding step by step. Meng Anwen was still tirelessly setting up formations. According to the plan, the military and various families would mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to become vessels for the Soul Devouring Beasts, allowing the beasts to grow stronger within these bodies. The Soul Devouring Beasts could absorb various energies, ultimately converting them into soul power. Finally, with the activation of the Soul Fusion Array, all the soul power would be absorbed and refined by the array. First, it would become Lin Moyu’s power, enhancing his soul. The soul power of hundreds of thousands or even millions of Soul Devouring Beasts was immense, and Lin Moyu couldn’t possibly absorb it all. According to Meng Anwen’s calculations, Lin Moyu could only absorb two to three tenths of it at most. The remaining soul power would be divided among them, used to enhance their souls. The soul is one of the foundational powers of god-level powerhouses, and the strength of the soul often determines their level of power. In Meng Anwen’s calculations, even with the addition of several god-level powerhouses, it would be impossible to absorb all the remaining soul energy. Some might still be left, which would be distributed to all participants in the plan as compensation. This was Meng Anwen’s plan. It seemed somewhat selfish, but it had to be done. They wanted to advance further, and the Soul Devouring Beasts were an opportunity. There might be deaths and sacrifices in the plan. But this was unavoidable. What Meng Anwen could do was to ensure that the families of the sacrifices were well compensated. Lin Moyu returned to the White God Courtyard. The White God Courtyard was empty, looking somewhat desolate. In his memory, this was the first time the White God Courtyard was empty. Every time he came, Meng Anwen was always leisurely lying there. He even once thought that Meng Anwen had nothing to do and lived such a leisurely life. Lin Moyu sat in his usual spot and poured himself a cup of tea. The tea heated in his hand, boiling. A cup of hot tea warmed his body and calmed him down. He finally reached level 60. This time, as usual, he awakened a new skill. Since his job change, it had been less than two years. His cultivation speed was already astonishing. Apart from Lin Mohan, almost no one could compare to him. Lin Moyu looked at the shining intermediate skill scroll, watching the enchanting golden glow it emitted, and softly said, "Teacher, I’m about to start!" It seemed like he was talking to himself. In the past, every time he awakened a skill, Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan were present. This time, he had to do it himself. The shining intermediate skill scroll exploded with a bang. Golden light burst forth, scattering starlight everywhere, dazzling and brilliant. Lin Moyu stood amidst the starlight, beginning to sense and seek the source of the skill. The starlight entered his body, stirring the essence of the skill, reaching its very root. Following the starlight, Lin Moyu gradually "saw" the initial source of the skill. He saw one shining light after another, like stars in the night sky, representing the skills he had already awakened and mastered. He also saw some points that had not yet lit up, representing skills that had not been awakened. At this moment, one of the unlit points was beginning to stir. Normally, a single shining intermediate skill scroll would be enough to activate a skill. But in Lin Moyu’s perception, it seemed to be lacking a bit. "Is it because of my own issue?" Lin Moyu felt that the skill being activated seemed somewhat unusual. The light representing the skill was larger. Larger than normal skills. "This skill is very strong!" "A single shining intermediate skill scroll is not enough to activate it!" Lin Moyu had this thought. Following his intuition, Lin Moyu unhesitatingly activated two more shining intermediate skill scrolls. Others used one, he used three. If he didn’t have enough skill scrolls, it would indeed be too wasteful. A large amount of starlight entered his body, joining the activation of the skill. The magical power contained in the skill scrolls fascinated Lin Moyu. It was this power that ultimately activated the skill, allowing countless ordinary people to become professionals. The starlight entering his body grew larger, and the energy rapidly accumulated, becoming immense. All the starlight finally rushed into the point representing the skill. The point began to glow faintly, eventually igniting completely, turning into a bright star in the night sky. Lin Moyu witnessed the entire process, feeling incredibly amazed. As the light of the skill was activated, he seemed to understand something. A mysterious connection formed between him and the skill. Compared to other skills, this newly activated skill seemed to be more intuitive. As the skill activated, the star-like light burst forth, illuminating every corner of his body, merging into every inch of his flesh. **[Skill Acquired: Summon Skeleton King]** **[Summon Skeleton King: Gather the skeletons from the undead army to summon a powerful Skeleton King. The Skeleton King will be formed from a minimum of 10,000 skeletons.]** This was a skill without levels, not requiring level-by-level training. Gathering the skeletons from the undead army to summon the Skeleton King, the strength of the Skeleton King was determined by the number of skeletons used. The weakest could be formed from 10,000 skeletons. The strongest had no upper limit. Lin Moyu was now level 60, possessing 40 undead armies, each with 1,000 skeletons. He was very much looking forward to the strength of the Skeleton King summoned from so many skeletons. Moreover, whether the summoned Skeleton King could enjoy the 70-fold enhancement from the comprehensive enhancement talent. This all needed to be tested to know. However, Lin Moyu believed it wouldn’t be weak. His skills were always getting stronger, only becoming stronger, never weaker. Lin Moyu was confident. Suppressing his inner desire, he activated the fourth shining intermediate skill scroll! The starlight exploded again, enveloping Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu sat amidst the starlight, surrounded by an aura of undeath, solemn and majestic, like the arrival of the Grim Reaper. ---
