Different worlds naturally operated under different laws and conditions.
The moment Lin Moyu entered this place, his priority was to adapt.
Elemental laws flowed into his body automatically—a passive form of adaptation.
Over time, both his body and soul would gradually adapt to this world, and with that adaptation, his mobility would slowly recover.
Within this space, Lin Moyu could sense the skeletons he had sent in earlier.
They were unharmed.
However, he could no longer detect the Elemental Giant leader, which had entered first.
Several Dreadbeasts that followed afterward were still present, but the Elemental Giant leader had completely vanished.
The discovery instantly put Lin Moyu on guard.
Then, the law art star representing Undeath Undead trembled.
One of the first skeletons to enter had died.
Because Undeath Undead had activated, Lin Moyu could either resurrect it where it fell or recall it directly into the law art star.
Without hesitation, he revived the skeleton where it fell and linked his vision to it.
Darkness filled his sight.
The skeleton died again, triggering Undyeath Undead once more.
Lin Moyu resurrected it immediately and reconnected the visual link.
Darkness again.
The skeleton died for the third time.
On the third resurrection and third connection, Lin Moyu finally caught it—a flash of dark light.
The dark light flickered past, and the Skeletal Divine Warrior was annihilated instantly.
Its destructive power far exceeded the skeleton’s limits; even the Comprehensive Link talent failed to activate.
This time, Lin Moyu let the Skeletal Divine Warrior return to the law art star.
Now that he had identified the threat, there was no point in letting it die again.
He still didn’t know what the dark light was, but one thing was certain: it was dangerous.
The Elemental Giant leader had most likely fallen to it as well.
Rather than charging ahead recklessly, Lin Moyu focused on adapting to the environment.
Not only he himself, but the entire undead army had to adjust.
While waiting, he continuously shifted through the perspectives of various skeletons and resurrected.
He saw the dark light again.
It would abruptly vanish from one location, linger elsewhere for a period of time, then disappear and reappear in another place entirely.
After prolonged observation, Lin Moyu reached a conclusion: the dark light moved without any detectable pattern.
Its appearances were completely unpredictable.
Because skeletons were relatively small, their chances of being struck remained low.
Larger figures such as Elemental Giants and Dreadbeasts faced significantly greater risk.
Moreover, the closer one moved toward the center, the more frequently the dark light appeared.
Besides that, Lin Moyu discovered many skeletons.
The remains were grotesque and varied in appearance.
He couldn’t tell whether they belonged to native creatures of the deep layer or visitors from the greater world.
When this world core had fallen into the deep layer years ago, Jiang Yi could hardly have been the only one to notice.
Anything was possible.
Three days later, Lin Moyu had fully adapted to the environment.
Elemental laws permeated every part of his body, and the undead army could now operate normally.
It was time to move.
Over the past few days, by continuously sending out skeletons, he had mapped the entire outer region of this world.
This independent world, born from the world core, was far larger inside than it appeared from outside.
Externally, it seemed to occupy a circular area barely a hundred kilometers across.
Internally, however, it stretched for several thousand kilometers—more like a small continent.
The first thousand kilometers formed a safe zone.
Beyond that, the dark light began to appear.
The closer one approached the center, the more frequent and more dangerous the flashes became.
Lin Moyu set out toward the center of the world.
The Deathwings fluttered.
In an instant, he crossed a thousand kilometers.
Through the chaotic colors, Lin Moyu finally saw the dark light with his own eyes.
It flickered in midair, lingered for several seconds, then vanished and emerged elsewhere.
“What exactly is this dark light?”
He cast Bone Armor and flew forward.
The Deathwings fluttered once more.
Lin Moyu became a streak of light, accelerating toward the center of the world.
Since the dark light appeared randomly, advancing cautiously served no purpose.
Better to reach the center as quickly as possible.
Soul force surged.
The Deathwings exploded with speed, carrying him thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Then, a streak of dark light appeared directly in his path.
It emerged so suddenly that Lin Moyu had no time to evade. He crashed into it head-on.
White light flashed across his body as Bone Armor activated, only to shatter instantly.
The Deathwings were sliced apart.
Another burst of white light flickered, allowing Lin Moyu to slip past the dark light.
Lin Moyu came to an abrupt stop.
Though he appeared uninjured, the entire undead army had collapsed.
Undeath Undead activated, and the undead army was reborn within the law art stars.
The dark light had possessed attack power at least equivalent to True God 2nd tier.
Worse still, it carried a law, an extraordinarily powerful one.
Neither Elemental Resistance nor Physical Resistance had any effect.
Even after Bone Armor shattered, no skill linkage was triggered, implying the dark light wasn’t something that could be attacked.
What exactly was this dark light?
Why was its attack power so overwhelming?
True God 2nd tier attack power was practically unstoppable in the deep layer.
Just as Lin Moyu came to a halt, a piercing screech cut through the air.
A streak of blue light shot toward him like an arrow.
With a glance, Lin Moyu recognized it as a soul remnant.
Judging by its strength, it had likely been Transcendent God-level in life.
After dying here, the soul hadn’t fully dispersed and had eventually turned into a soul remnant.
It was filled with resentment and stripped of reason, driven only by the instinct to kill.
Clearly, it had refused to accept its death.
Lin Moyu raised a finger.
Fused law art: Time Curse.
Other than Undead Gaze, this was his most effective law art against soul remnants.
The triple curse descended, and the soul remnant let out a shrill scream, its speed slowing dramatically.
Flames erupted across its form, followed by an eerie green glow.
Flames and green light flickered continuously across the soul remnant as its flow of time accelerated.
To the soul remnant, a long span of time passed in a single instant.
At last, with a bang, the soul remnant turned into ash. The remaining soul essence flowed into Lin Moyu.
Suspended in midair, Lin Moyu looked down upon the land.
Through the mottled colors and gaps in the flowing light, numerous skeletons lay scattered across the land below.
None of these remains had been weak in life.
Many still carried lingering traces of soul aura.
These soul remnants were excellent materials for enhancing soul grade.
As Lin Moyu advanced slowly, the aura of a living being immediately drew attention.
One after another, resentful, mindless soul remnants lunged toward him.
The phantom Undead World descended, and the colossal Undead Eye appeared in the air.
The Undead Eye’s gaze swept across the soul remnants, delivering the final fatal blow.
Even though they had been Transcendent God-level in life, now they were nothing more than soul remnants, unable to escape the Undead Eye’s gaze.
Lin Moyu noticed something strange.
Every soul remnant here was saturated with resentment, as if they were deeply unwilling to accept their deaths.
As for the reason why, he had no answer.
He continued toward the center, purging soul remnants and absorbing their soul essence along the way.
Gradually, his soul grade improved.
The golden radiance spreading across his iron armor intensified.
Once the iron armor was completely enveloped in golden light, his soul would reach peak 2nd grade.
As for a 3rd grade soul, that goal remained far too distant.
For now, Lin Moyu didn’t even consider it.
