Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Chapter 252: Uncharted Territory; Shenzhou Cauldron

Starting from the 201st step, the pressure increased again, more than doubling compared to the 200th step.

Lin Moyu felt that if it weren't for the Soul Crystals, he could only have reached the 200th step. But now... he continued to ascend, gaining three strands of divinity energy with each step.

The higher the level of Divinity Force, the more divinity energy it required. This time, he continued all the way to the 250th step and gained a total of 150 strands of divinity energy before his Divinity Force was upgraded.

Moving forward, the requirement would only grow higher.

As he approached the 300th step, he suddenly felt a powerful aura from Mo Yun's path, putting her on par with a level 50 individual.

Then, he saw a mass of light swiftly advancing along the path. Mo Yun, shrouded in light, climbed rapidly.

"So fast!"

Lin Moyu had seen Mo Yun use this skill before. At that time, the Holy Spirit Unicorn, enveloped in such light, moved as fast as lightning. Though he didn't know what exactly the skill Mo Yun used was, but he knew that at this moment she was ignoring the pressure, advancing forward swiftly.

"Awesome!" Lin Moyu remarked involuntarily.

Every class had its unique characteristics. In particular, for a mid-tier legendary class user like Mo Yun, she must have her own exceptional abilities.

In just 30 seconds, Mo Yun had crossed under 100 steps and reached the 200th step. When she reached the 200th step, the skill's light disappeared, and she collapsed on the step.

The pressure at the 200th step was immense. Mo Yun could barely sit there, finding moving at all a challenge. But her face was beaming with a smile.

She had broken her family's record, raising her Divinity Force to level 5 at level 41, matching Bai Yiyuan's achievement. This was a proud feat for the entire human race. Of course, she couldn't compare to a certain freak.

Mo Yun lifted her head with difficulty and saw Lin Moyu standing at the 300th step, giving her a thumbs-up.

"Thumbs up my foot!" Mo Yun couldn't help but curse in her heart. Was this a compliment? It felt more like a blow to her ego.

Suffering another strike to her ego, Mo Yun sighed in her heart, "Forget it, I can't compare to this guy; otherwise, my self-esteem will crumble."

She had reached her limit with her skill to get here, not wasting even a fraction of the 30 seconds.

Lin Moyu realized that Mo Yun was at her limit, then turned and continued his forward. The pressure increased again, and he finally felt a little pressure, but that was all. With pressure came motivation, and he climbed more vigorously than before.

The pressure grew greater, like a heavy mountain pressing down on him. With each step he took, four strands of divinity energy drilled into his body. At the 310th step, his Divinity Force rose to level 6. At the 370th step, it reached level 7.

Starting from the 401st step, the pressure increased sharply again. Compared to the 400th step, a difference in one step materialized into three times the pressure.

Lin Moyu felt that no Mage-type class user could reach this point unless they had also absorbed Soul Crystals.

Recalling Bai Yiyuan's words, Lin Moyu gritted his teeth and pushed forward and continued to climb: 410, 420, 450...

Finally, he reached the 490th step, and his Divinity Force rose to level 9. He was only 10 steps away from the tripod cauldron.

At this time, he was drenched in sweat, panting heavily. The terrifying spirit pressure bore down on him, making it difficult for him to straighten up or lift his head. It was if an invisible giant hand was pressing down on him, making it hard to move.

"The pressure here is unbearable, not just for level 30 class users, but even for level 40 or 45 class users." Lin Moyu mused.

The last 10 steps felt like an unsurmountable chasm. From this vantage point, he could see a large amount of divinity energy swirling above the tripod cauldron, glittering golden, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Lin Moyu couldn't help but wonder. If he could cross the last 10 steps and absorb the divinity energy above the cauldron, what level would his Divinity Force reach?

However, the pressure had become overwhelming. Even with Lin Moyu's spirit force, it was difficult to take another step forward.

"Have I reached my limit?" Lin Moyu thought to himself. Refusing to give up, he gritted his teeth and lifted his foot with great effort, taking another step.

Boom!

The invisible pressure struck Lin Moyu like a massive fist, causing his ears to ring and head to ache, his mind on the verge of collapse.

Lin Moyu groaned, swaying left and right, looking like he was to fall backward. But in the end, he managed to hold on.

His right foot was now on the 491st step, while his left foot remained on the 490th step, unable to lift it. He realized that if his left foot left the step, he would fall backward and be ejected from the secret realm.

"There's no other way!" Lin Moyu muttered to himself, then the 兵 character on the back of his hand glowed brightly and ejected out brilliant light that exploded in the air.

All his attributes surged, and his spirit force broke through multiple restrictions, instantly reaching 57,000 points. The overwhelming pressure vanished without a trace, making him feel like the time he just entered the Divine Selection Secret Realm, light and unburdened.

Lin Moyu lifted his left foot and steadily placed it on the 491st step, then climbed effortlessly to the 500th step, the end of the path, where the tripod cauldron stood—a place where no one had set foot for countless years.

The divinity energy fluttering above the cauldron rushed toward Lin Moyu and frantically drilled into his body, and the level of his Divinity Force rose rapidly: level 10, 11, 12, and so on.

Mesmerized by the tripod cauldron, Lin Moyu moved closer and saw the characters engraved on its surface, his whole body trembling with excitement, "Chinese characters, they are really Chinese characters."

There were three large characters engraved on the cauldron—神州鼎 (Shenzhou Cauldron).

Shenzhou [1], that was a familiar term. Lin Moyu was almost certain that the Shenzhou Cauldron before his eyes, including the Primordial Rune, must be connected to the world he had come from before his transmigration.

Lin Moyu looked inside the Shenzhou Cauldron, which contained a massive amount of divinity energy emanating dazzling golden light. This divinity energy was not in the wispy strand form but had condensed into liquefied form.

The divinity energy floating outside was merely a negligible fraction that had spilled out of the cauldron. With the divinity energy inside the cauldron, Lin Moyu wondered what level his Divinity Force would reach.

But reality was cruel. He couldn't touch the divinity energy, as an invisible force obstructed him.

When Lin Mo Yu touched the Shenzhou Cauldron, it suddenly began to vibrate violently. The entire Divine Selection Secret Realm shook as well.

Mo Yun, still seated on the 200th step, looked up abruptly, her face filled with astonishment, "What is happening?"

The entire realm shook violently, as if it were about to collapse.

At this moment, Lin Moyu could see nothing but golden light. The Shenzhou Cauldron emitted brilliant golden light, overshadowing everything else.

As the tremors grew in intensity, Lin Moyu clung to the Shenzhou Cauldron.

Boom!

Following a deafening blare, Lin Moyu let out a muffled groan, unable to hear anything over the blare. He was struck with a heavy force and lost consciousness instantly.

When he regained consciousness, Lin Moyu was back on the Immemorial Battlefield. The surroundings were quiet, and the Immemorial Battlefield's light was unchanged.

The two towering rocks still stood tall. Mo Yun lay nearby. Lin Moyu checked on her and found she was fine, merely unconscious.

After making sure she was fine, Lin Moyu began to examine himself. In the next moment, he let out a startled cry in a rare loss of composure.
