Chapter 858: 858 **Chapter 858: How Much Hatred, How Much Resentment** The dragon’s roar echoed through the heavens and the earth. Lin The entire ancient battlefield was shaking. Lin Moyu saw the surrounding space collapsing, revealing the dark, endless void. In the void, energy turbulence was shooting out, breaking through the spatial constraints and entering the ancient battlefield. Each energy turbulence carried terrifying power, rampaging through, scaring all the monsters in the ancient battlefield into fleeing in panic. A terrifying aura rose from Antares, and the intense pressure spread out, making Lin Moyu unable to move. Only at this moment did Lin Moyu truly glimpse the tip of the iceberg of Antares’s power. Just the aura alone made Lin Moyu unable to resist. If the pressure increased a bit more, it could crush him to death. Lin Moyu had no doubt that Antares could crush all true god-level beings with just its pressure. Antares’s voice was filled with excitement and joy, and Lin Moyu did not stop it, letting it roar to its heart’s content. If it wanted to vent, it should vent properly. For a moment, countless monsters in the ancient battlefield died or were injured. Fortunately, all the humans had gone to the Abyss World to fight, and only some monsters were left in the ancient battlefield. A few minutes later, Antares finally calmed down. The space began to repair itself, forming barriers to block the energy turbulence and protect the weak creatures within the space. Antares laughed happily, "Sorry, I got too excited just now and couldn’t help but roar." "Understandable, if it were me, I might be even more excited." Lin Moyu could somewhat understand the feeling of recovering something precious that was lost. The aura on Antares continued to rise, becoming stronger and stronger. It had long surpassed the limits of what the ancient battlefield could bear, even exceeding the limits of this world. However, Antares now had control, so it did not cause too much impact. Lin Moyu asked, "What does the Dragon Pearl mean to your dragon race?" Antares chuckled, "That’s a secret of our dragon race. Do you really want to know?" Lin Moyu looked indifferent, "Say it if you want, don’t if you don’t." Antares shook its head, "Alright, alright, I’ll tell you. The Dragon Pearl has a significant role in our dragon race. One of its functions is to contain our dragon race’s spells." "Contain spells? Aren’t spells formed by spell stars or spell planets?" Lin Moyu found it strange. Antares had mentioned before that the spells of strong beings in the Great World were formed by spell planets and spell stars. What did it have to do with the Dragon Pearl? Antares explained, "Our dragon race has a secret technique that can integrate spells into the Dragon Pearl. This can enhance the power of the spells." "This involves the second function of the Dragon Pearl. It also represents the strength of our dragon race." "Simply put, the more Dragon Pearls, the stronger the dragon." After Antares’s explanation, Lin Moyu understood. In addition to the common strength classification of true gods, god kings, and god emperors, the dragon race had a unique strength classification system. That was the Dragon Pearl. At the same level, the more Dragon Pearls a dragon had, the stronger it was and the higher its status. At the same number of Dragon Pearls and the same level, the more spells integrated into the Dragon Pearls, the stronger the dragon. Once spells were integrated into the Dragon Pearls, the power of the spells could be greatly increased. However, it also depended on the level of the spells themselves. The same Dragon Pearl, the same spell, integrating a planetary-level spell and a stellar-level spell, the power would be vastly different. The most perfect method was to integrate a stellar-level spell into each Dragon Pearl. Of course, that was just a dream, impossible to achieve. This was a unique method of the dragon race, and outsiders could not learn it. This was also one of the reasons why the dragon race was powerful. Few races could match the dragon race at the same level. In addition, the Dragon Pearl had another function, which was inheritance. The Dragon Pearl carried the inheritance of the dragon race ancestors, which had extraordinary significance for the descendants of the dragon race. Lin Moyu asked, "How many Dragon Pearls can a dragon have at most?" Antares shook its head, "I don’t know. It is said that the Dragon Ancestor once had 36 Dragon Pearls, but that is just a legend." "Normally, elemental dragons do not have Dragon Pearls. Only when they cultivate to the true god level and start transforming into holy dragons can they refine their first Dragon Pearl." "When they refine the ninth Dragon Pearl, they can advance to become a divine dragon, like me now." Lin Moyu calculated that Antares had 16 Dragon Pearls, making it one of the top powerful beings in the dragon race, probably second only to the Dragon God. Moreover, the Dragon God had given two of its Dragon Pearls to Antares. It was unknown how Antares had digested them and what benefits it had gained. This was Antares’s secret, and Lin Moyu did not pry. Lin Moyu pointed to his head, "The Starry Sky Giant Tree seems to have left a mark on me. Help me clear it." "Alright!" In the soul world, Antares’s soul power flowed in, transforming into a smaller version of Antares. When it saw the shadow of the Starry Sky Giant Tree outside the soul world, it let out a strange cry, "You really pissed it off." Lin Moyu asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?" Antares said, "The marks we usually talk about are just leaving a trace of aura, which can be roughly located." "But this guy left a soul mark on you." "It can accurately locate you through the soul mark. Moreover, the Starry Sky Giant Tree naturally understands some space laws and can even teleport directly to you." "However, planting a soul mark comes at a cost. It will permanently lose a part of its soul, which is difficult to recover." "This is different from splitting the soul. Planting a soul mark will take it at least ten thousand years to recover to its peak state." "Moreover, the soul mark has a dual nature. If you are strong enough, you can also locate it through the soul mark. In other words, it has exposed itself to you." According to Antares, planting a soul mark was not something that could be done casually. The cost was too high. Without deep hatred, it was impossible to plant a soul mark on someone. Moreover, it was a double-edged sword. If unlucky, it could be counter-killed. Lin Moyu was speechless. Did it hate him that much? Was it just because he took the Dragon Pearl that was about to be in its grasp? Or was it because his soul curse caused it too much pain? Antares’s expression was serious, "Tell me how you dealt with it." Lin Moyu recounted the process and his method. Antares suddenly understood, "No wonder it went to such lengths to plant a soul mark on you." "It must have sensed the time law in your spell." "It is said that the Starry Sky Giant Tree has a terrifying ability to seize others’ laws." "Our dragon race has records that the Starry Sky Giant Tree did not understand space laws many years ago. They only had wood elemental laws." "At that time, the Starry Sky Giant Tree was strong but not as strong as it is now." "Later, the Starry Sky Giant Tree devoured a strong being who had comprehended space laws." "Then the Starry Sky Giant Tree gained space laws." "I suspect it wants to seize your time law." Looking at the soul mark of the Starry Sky Giant Tree, Lin Moyu suddenly felt a chill. It actually wanted to seize his time law.
