Chapter 585: I Became The Strongest Link
The skill now possessed a damage-reduction effect. Any incoming damage would be halved.
And that wasn’t all. The skill was also amplified by the Comprehensive Amplification talent.
After reaching level 70 and completing his third class awakening, Lin Moyu’s Comprehensive Amplification talent had evolved, raising its amplification to 80 times
As a result, his Damage Transfer skill could now reduce incoming damage by 160 times before transferring it to his undead army.
But what did a 160-fold damage reduction even mean?
When Antares simulated a God-level attack against Lin Moyu, the damage transferred to the undead army was completely within their limits.
The Lich Generals quickly restored the entire undead force with just a dozen consecutive healing.
“Impressive defense.” Antares remarked.
He could tell that the faint layer of white light enveloping Lin Moyu was no ordinary shield.
“Try a level 96 attack.” Lin Moyu said calmly.
Level 96 attacks already carried the power of laws, far surpassing level 90 strikes.
Another strike descended. Yet even this, the undead troops endured.
Within seconds, the Lich Generals’ healing had the undead army fully restored once more.
At that moment, Lin Moyu understood clearly. He was no longer the weakest link.
On the contrary, he had become the strongest link of his undead army.
Anyone who still thought killing the Summoner was easier than killing the summons was in for a rude awakening.
“Use half-step Transcendent God–level power.” Lin Moyu requested.
Antares was surprised, “Are you sure? That’s half-step Transcendent God-level. It’s nowhere near ordinary God-level power.”
“I’m sure.” Lin Moyu nodded firmly.
He had great confidence in his skills and talents, but true certainty required proof.
Antares didn’t hesitate. With a low snort, he unleashed an invisible force.
The force crashed down upon Lin Moyu like a meteor.
The result was instantaneous.
His entire undead army—86,730 skeletons, 49 Lich Generals, and 7 Elemental Liches—was annihilated in an instant.
Half-step Transcendent God-level power was terrifying.
Even with 160-fold damage reduction, it still wasn’t enough.
When the Demon Emperor and Dragon Emperor had previously fought across worlds, Lin Moyu hadn’t truly understood the scale of their might.
Now, witnessing Antares’ half-step Transcendent God-level simulated attack firsthand, he finally grasped the enormity of that power.
Lin Moyu sighed inwardly, the pride that had arisen from his class awakening evaporating entirely.
“Are you sure this is half-step Transcendent God-level power?” Lin Moyu asked.
Antares hummed, “More or less. Perhaps a little stronger than the Demon Emperor, but not by much.”
Lin Moyu nodded, understanding. With a thought, he resummoned his undead army.
Thanks to his Undying Undead passive, every fallen undead troop instantly returned to the summon space, fully reviving within a second.
“Do it again.”
Antares frowned but complied. Three more half-step Transcendent God–level strikes followed.
Each time, Lin Moyu’s army was obliterated, only to revive again.
By the third strike, the look of curiosity in Antares’s eyes intensified.
Lin Moyu’s undead army seemed truly unkillable.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Moyu said quietly, “Once more.”
This would be the final test.
Linmoyu had relied on his Undying Undead passive skill to withstand the first two of Antares’s three attacks.
During the third strike, the Undying Lich’s Undying Ring came into effect.
However, both Undying Undead and Undying Ring were now on cooldown.
Undying Undead had a five-minute cooldown, while Undying Ring required a full twenty-four hours.
For the next strike, he could only rely on his talent.
If it worked as he expected, both he and his undead army would revive once more.
If not… he would have to prepare to go through the resurrection process.
There was always hesitation when facing death.
Antares noticed Lin Moyu’s hesitation, “Are you sure you want to continue?”
Being able to revive three times had already exceeded Antares’s imagination.
He didn’t think a fourth time was possible.
Lin Moyu took a deep breath, “One more time. If it fails, then I’ll just go through resurrection.”
“As you wish.”
Another devastating strike crashed down.
The undead army was obliterated in an instant, and Lin Moyu’s body shattered into fragments, exploding into a cloud of bloody mist.
Alarm flickered in Antares’s eyes. He hadn’t expected Lin Moyu to actually die this time.
He had, in fact, killed him with his own hands.
But after just 0.1 seconds, Antares’s eyes widened in shock.
Time itself seemed to reverse. The bloody mist reformed, and Lin Moyu stood there again, completely unharmed.
The Comprehensive Rebirth talent had activated, reviving him and his entire undead army instantly.
“This talent… time reversal? The law of time?” Antares murmured, stunned.
He finally understood what Lin Moyu wanted to test.
Lin Moyu glanced at the rings of light beneath the feet of his undead troops.
The seven rings of light were active, including Undying Ring.
All cooldowns had fully reset upon rebirth.
Lin Moyu couldn’t help but laugh.
At last, his life was truly secured.
Antares couldn’t resist asking, “What talent did you awaken?”
Lin Moyu didn’t hide it. He explained Comprehensive Rebirth and how it synergized with his other skills.
By the end, Antares was visibly shaken.
According to Lin Moyu’s explanation, to truly kill him, one would need to eliminate both him and his undead army eight times within one minute.
Antares muttered, “If you choose to flee… even the Demon Emperor might find it difficult to kill you.”
He said difficult, not impossible.
Lin Moyu understood. If the Demon Emperor truly went all out, he could still be killed.
But Lin Moyu had no intention of confronting him head-on.
After all, he was only level 70, while the Demon Emperor was a half-step Transcendent God-level powerhouse.
They weren’t even in the same league.
Only when Lin Moyu reached God-level could he face the Demon Emperor directly.
With an army of God-level skeletons, perhaps he could truly contend with him then.
“Now.” Lin Moyu said, “Let’s proceed to the second experiment. I’ll have to trouble you again.”
Antares agreed without hesitation.
Few things in the world still intrigued him, and Lin Moyu was one of them.
At Lin Moyu’s request, Antares tore open space and captured several level 65 monsters, binding them.
This next test was for Corpse Explosion, a skill that had evolved after its star skill core merged with Lin Moyu’s soul.
At first glance, the skill’s range had expanded, and it allowed targets to be freely chosen, though its power had weakened.
But Lin Moyu sensed something unusual in the new description.
He killed one of the monsters, locked onto its corpse, then targeted another monster a thousand meters away.
A muffled boom echoed. There was no grand explosion this time.
The corpse simply appeared to have been pulverized.
Then, the other monster suddenly was torn apart, as if struck by an invisible force.
Antares was stunned once again, “The power isn’t great, but it crosses space. Your skill… involves the laws.”
After Corpse Explosion activated, the attack had instantly appeared on the distant target.
It was mysterious, even unfathomable.
It had to be related to the laws.
Antares’s words confirmed Lin Moyu’s suspicion.
He then focused on the remains scattered across the ground, the fragments of the monster that had just been killed by the blast.
Before, such remnants were useless for Corpse Explosion, lacking enough health to trigger the skill.
But now, Lin Moyu had a different feeling.
He locked onto another monster a thousand meters away and detonated the fragments.
A crisp crack, like an eggshell, breaking sounded. There still was no major disturbance.
Yet the distant monster was instantly blown apart, killed on the spot.
Antares spoke, “The attack power is identical. Whether you detonate a full corpse or just the remains, the result is the same.”
Lin Moyu carefully examined the new description.
[Corpse Explosion (fusion 20%): detonate a corpse or remains and deal 20% of the corpse’s health before death as damage to designated targets within a radius of 100 meters.]
The true change wasn’t the range or the power, but that single phrase: “the corpse’s health before death.”
Even remains retained their full potential. After all, the damage was calculated based on the target’s health before death.
A bold thought flashed through Lin Moyu’s mind.
“Does blood count as remains? What about solidified blood essence?”
Without hesitation, he took out a piece of Solidified Fire God’s Blood Essence.
