Chapter 913: Shadowgnats Deserves To Die!

Lin Moyu flew into the curse clouds.

The world around him turned pitch-black, and an eerie silence settled over everything.

The curse power, infused with strands of law, spread toward him like countless venomous serpents locking onto their prey.

Yet the instant they drew near, a thin layer of pale gray emerged from Lin Moyu's body. The death aspect of the law of undeath manifested across his skin.

As though they had encountered an even deadlier poison, the curse serpents recoiled in terror and scattered in every direction.

Lin Moyu focused on tracing the curse to its origin.

His understanding of curse power allowed him to perceive subtle fluctuations that others would never notice.

In this world, everything left traces.

No matter how well hidden, every source could be uncovered if one knew where to look.

Using the fluctuations of law as his guide, he quickly locked onto the source.

"Three hundred kilometers away..."

A brilliant light flashed across his eyes as he shot through the curse clouds.

Three hundred kilometers vanished in an instant.

Breaking free of the curse clouds, Lin Moyu found the source.

A tiny blade of grass… No, more precisely, it was the insect buried beneath it.

The creature looked utterly ordinary, no larger than a little finger.

Its body was completely black, blending seamlessly with the dark soil.

Hidden beneath the grass, it was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

Even a soul scan would instinctively overlook its presence.

The moment he identified it, a race from the archives surfaced in his memory: Shadowgnat.

Although they possessed mediocre direct combat ability, they were masters of curse arts.

Their most terrifying trait was their ability to absorb the life force of anyone slain by their curses.

The more victims they claimed and the stronger those victims were, the more powerful the Shadowgnats became.

For this reason, they were despised by practically every race.

Fortunately, they were weak. The strongest members of their race had only reached the God Sovereign realm.

Against the truly powerful races, they could be exterminated with ease.

Over countless years, they had become so insignificant that few paid them any attention.

Yet unexpectedly, they had set their sights on the human race.

Rather than alert the enemy, Lin Moyu quietly returned to the curse clouds and continued his search.

A single Shadowgnat could never produce a curse large enough to engulf an entire inhabited planet.

Following the aura of the curse, he soon located a second Shadowgnat.

Then a third. A fourth.

One after another, every hidden Shadowgnat was exposed.

There were exactly 108 of them.

Working together, they had created the curse clouds that enveloped the entire planet.

None of them were particularly powerful.

The strongest among them had only reached the 5th tier Transcendent God realm.

Aside from their curse arts, they possessed little combat strength.

Unfortunately for them, Lin Moyu was completely immune to curses.

He was their nemesis.

Once every Shadowgnat had been located, Lin Moyu prepared to strike.

Skeletal Divine Generals silently emerged throughout the curse clouds.

While searching for the Shadowgnats, Lin Moyu had already positioned them in advance.

He assigned one hundred Skeletal Divine Generals to each Shadowgnat.

It was an honor they scarcely deserved.

He was certain that under such overwhelming force, not a single Shadowgnat would escape.

But just as he was about to launch the attack, Lin Moyu suddenly stopped.

"No... There should be one more."

He had recently reviewed records detailing the different races.

Every account of the Shadowgnats mentioned the same fact. Whenever they acted, they always had a leader.

He had found 108 Shadowgnats.

Yet their leader was nowhere to be seen.

To destroy an enemy completely, one survivor could not be left behind.

If he killed the 108 Shadowgnats now, the curse clouds would dissipate, and the hidden leader would become nearly impossible to find.

Only while the law of curses still linked them together did he have a chance to locate it.

Lin Moyu began searching once again.

He darted back and forth through the curse clouds, tracing every subtle fluctuation.

Outside the clouds, the other Transcendent Gods watched in complete confusion.

None of them understood what Lin Moyu was doing.

They could only see him repeatedly disappearing into the curse clouds.

Several attempted to follow him, yet none could keep up.

The instant Lin Moyu entered the curse clouds, he disappeared from their senses.

After weaving through the curse clouds dozens of times, Lin Moyu finally caught a faint trace.

Following an almost imperceptible thread of the law, he found the Shadowgnat leader.

Unlike the others, it had already grown a pair of wings. Its metamorphosis had begun.

Its cultivation realm had reached the 7th tier Transcendent God realm.

If it unleashed its curse power to the fullest, exterminating every Transcendent God who had come would be effortless.

Fortunately, Lin Moyu had nothing to fear.

The law of undeath was the bane of all curses.

Whenever curse power encountered it, it fled like a mouse before a cat.

Without another moment's hesitation, Lin Moyu prepared to eliminate every last Shadowgnat, including their winged leader.

Within the curse clouds, an army of Skeletal Divine Generals materialized.

With a gesture from Lin Moyu, a colossal Undead Eye, over a hundred thousand meters across, abruptly opened in the sky.

The instant the Undead Eye appeared, the Skeletal Divine Generals, already poised for battle, surged forward.

Like bolts of lightning, they crossed the distance in an instant, appearing before the Shadowgnats.

Their swords locked onto every target, leaving the creatures with no chance to escape.

The current Skeletal Divine Generals were powerful enough to instantly kill 5th tier Transcendent God and severely wound or even slay 5th tier Transcendent Gods.

Against the frail Shadowgnats, they were overwhelming. The slaughter was effortless.

As for the Shadowgnats leader, Lin Moyu dealt with it personally.

Undead Gaze, Time Curse, the law of undeath, and the Skeletal Divine Generals—he unleashed his cards without holding anything back.

The Shadowgnat leader let out a shrill scream before being annihilated.

The Transcendent Gods on the planet stood frozen in disbelief.

"Where did all these skeletons come from?"

"They actually emerged from inside the curse clouds!"

"And why are they all hunting insects?"

When they looked more closely, they realized those insects were all in the Transcendent God realm.

"I remember now—those are Shadowgnats!"

"The race that specializes in curses. No wonder."

"They're also masters of concealment. How did he manage to find them?"

"This Lin Moyu... he's truly incredible."

"Are those skeletons his summons? Or puppets?"

Earlier, when they had watched Lin Moyu flying back and forth, they had secretly mocked him, convinced that such a search was pointless.

Now, his actions had delivered a resounding slap to their faces.

With the Shadowgnats slain, the curse clouds became like duckweed without roots.

Lin Moyu summoned powerful winds imbued with the aspect of death. His law of undeath swept across the sky, scattering the curse clouds.

At the same time, white wind carrying the aspect of life swept across the land.

The conditions of countless humans improved at a visible rate.

Their curse was dispelled, and beneath the white wind's soothing embrace, their vitality rapidly returned.

One by one, the Skeletal Divine Generals returned, carrying the corpses of the Shadowgnats.

The corpses were valuable materials for pill refinement.

Lin Moyu had once seen them sold at stalls in the Trading Center for considerable prices.

Even if he chose not to sell them personally, he could simply turn them over to the Trading Center in exchange for points.

True to his philosophy that even mosquitoes were still meat, Lin Moyu had no intention of wasting anything of value.

As the curse clouds dispersed, sunlight reclaimed the land once more.

The wind continued to sweep across the entire planet.

Empowered by the life aspect of the law of undeath, the wind eradicated the lingering curse and restored vitality to the world once again..
