Chapter 676
This was even more true for the Undead Legion; the Lich General's Purify skill could even neutralize Corpse Poison, let alone the toxic substances found here.
The world at the bottom of the Azure Dragon Sea was far larger than the Wild Continent.
At a depth of 100,000 meters, large numbers of monsters inhabited the space every few hundred meters.
The monsters had their own territories, resembling layers of spatial domains.
The scale of the underwater world was, to say the least, equivalent to over a hundred Wild Continents.
After Lin Moyu's commotion, a massive number of monsters were attracted.
He was able to search for the divine spark while leveling up and fighting monsters, and his experience points skyrocketed.
— Seeking Flowers —
In just a few hours, the light of leveling up emerged from his body.
Rising from level 74 to 75, a look of joy shone in Lin Moyu's eyes. "I didn't expect there to be so many monsters at the bottom of the sea; I should have come sooner!"
"Even if I don't find the divine spark, this trip was worth it."
Lin Moyu had an additional task; he began summoning continuously to replenish the Undead Legion.
At level 75, the total number of the Undead Legion reached 187,000, an increase of 14,200 compared to level 74.
Lin Moyu still adopted an equal distribution for the four main troop types, with 46,750 of each.
It wasn't just the quantity that increased; their attributes also improved significantly.
Among them, the Skeleton Berserker had the highest attributes; its four-dimensional attributes were balanced, with each reaching 1.1 million, for a total attribute score of 4.4 million.
The Skeleton Archmage's total attributes were slightly lower than those of the Skeleton Berserker, but its Spirit attribute stood out, reaching as high as 3.8 million.
The Headless Knight's Strength and Constitution attributes were higher than those of the Skeleton Berserker, and its total attributes also broke through to 4 million.
Only the Skeleton Marksman's attributes were slightly inferior, but since the Skeleton Marksman's skills were soul attacks, its attack power was not bad at all.
As Lin Moyu's level grew higher and higher, the scale of the Undead Legion's improvement also became increasingly massive.
At the same time, Lin Moyu also developed a feeling of being suppressed.
It was as if some force in the dark was suppressing him.
He had experienced a similar feeling before; the first time it appeared was after his Second Awakening.
However, the feeling was very weak at the time, and his own soul wasn't strong, so he thought he had misperceived it.
As his level increased, this feeling became increasingly obvious.
Especially after his soul reached the God level, whenever he leveled up for the first time and his skills were upgraded, that feeling would appear.
It was merely a feeling; there were no traces to be found.
He had spoken to Antares about this matter, but even Antares couldn't explain it.
Antares even suspected whether he had misperceived it.
Sometimes, Lin Moyu also wondered if he had made a mistake in his perception.
After this level-up, the feeling of being suppressed appeared again.
He couldn't find the root cause, and it was impossible to describe in words; it was just an unfounded feeling.
Lin Moyu even had a thought: perhaps his skills were supposed to be this weak, and they could be even stronger.
It seemed as if some rule was restricting his skills.
If he discarded his talent, his skeletons were indeed not strong.
A level 75 Skeleton Berserker only had total attributes of around 55,000.
Including the bonus from the Lich General, the attributes were still less than 100,000.
Even the most ordinary profession among humans would have total attributes exceeding 500,000 at level 75.
If not for his talent skills, his only advantage would be his massive number of summons and his variety of skills.
Even without his talent skills, he would still be assured of victory against Professionals of the same level.
Never mind a one-on-one, even taking on ten at once wouldn't be an issue.
But to achieve the level he was at now, it would be absolutely impossible.
Since he was a unique profession and had gone through two instances of class sublimation, he shouldn't be this weak.
Even without his talent, he shouldn't be this weak.
As his level increased, this feeling of being suppressed became increasingly obvious and intense.
It had also become a lingering mystery that troubled Lin Moyu.
Chapter 651: Cleverness Overreached
The feeling of being suppressed was very uncomfortable.
Lin Moyu had realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the root cause, nor could he solve it.
Only when his strength became powerful enough might he be able to discover the clues.
Several hours later, Lin Moyu fully replenished the Undead Legion.
The Holy Sound Wind Chime still had no reaction, so Lin Moyu could only continue searching.
As Lin Moyu went deeper into the Azure Dragon Sea, the monster levels became higher and higher.
It was already hard to encounter monsters below level 80.
The commotion caused by the Undead Legion grew larger and larger, finally alarming the Bosses at the bottom of the sea.
Soon, several World Bosses came knocking.
The strongest one had already reached level 87, and the others were also at levels 84 and 85.
If it were in the past, Lin Moyu would definitely have turned around and left without a word.
Battling water-elemental Bosses on the seabed was definitely not a pleasant thing.
Even if he had to fight, it would be a very arduous battle.
But with the appearance of the God-level Skeleton King, everything became exceptionally simple.
The sword light appeared so dazzling in the pitch-black seabed.
With absolute dominance, the Skeleton King killed the Bosses in seconds with just a few sword strikes.
This brought him a large amount of experience, as well as several decent quasi-legendary pieces of equipment.
Lin Moyu felt that the Bosses were all good people, coming from so far away just to deliver equipment and experience.
Five days later, the light of leveling up rose from Lin Moyu's body once again.
After level 75, the experience requirement increased again, and the leveling speed slowed down accordingly.
Especially after the few World Bosses were killed, the monsters at the bottom of the Azure Dragon Sea seemed to receive some signal and no longer came to trouble Lin Moyu.
Eventually, they would even flee upon smelling the scent of the Undead Legion.
They were extremely fast in the water; other than the Headless Knight using the Charge skill to give chase, he couldn't catch up at all otherwise.
As a result, Lin Moyu's leveling speed slowed down significantly.
It took a full five days to level up once.
Lin Moyu stood in the water, but the level-up didn't bring much joy.
Not only did the feeling of being suppressed appear again, but he also hadn't found the divine spark of the God of Holy Sound.
"The worst-case scenario has happened; it seems the divine spark is no longer at the bottom of the Azure Dragon Sea."
"Then the most likely possibility is that it flowed into the Great Vortex."
Lin Moyu's expression was somewhat grave; he truly didn't want to come into conflict with the deity inside the Great Vortex right now.
It wasn't fear, but rather that he didn't want to act rashly without knowing the opponent's background.
After all, the opponent possessed soul attack capabilities, which was the most troublesome part.
Lin Moyu pondered for a long time and decided to search one more time.
Just in case he had missed something.
He flew out of the Azure Dragon Sea to the skies above the Wild Continent, re-calibrated his positioning in the air, dove back into the Azure Dragon Sea, and began searching.
He spent another five days, but still found nothing.
"Do I really have to go to the Great Vortex?"
Lin Moyu thought for a long time and took out Antares's dragon scale.
With a slight movement of his soul power, he activated the dragon scale. "Antares!"
There was no response; Lin Moyu knew this guy must have fallen asleep again, so he called out again.
After calling over a dozen times, there was finally some movement from Antares.
"I was in the middle of a dream; spit it out! If it's nothing important, I'll swallow you!" Antares's voice carried the grumpiness of someone woken up; he was very displeased.
Lin Moyu didn't care about his temper and got straight to the point. "You know about the Great Vortex in the Lower Space, right?"
"Of course I know!" Antares snorted. "There is nothing in this world that this dragon doesn't know."
Lin Moyu said, "Could you not brag?"
Antares snorted again. "Except for those matters of yours."
Lin Moyu said, "I want to go to the Great Vortex."
The dragon scale vibrated incessantly, and a dragon roar came through, accompanied by Antares's angry voice. "Why are you going there? Are you looking for death?"
Lin Moyu said, "Why?"
"That is the place where the Great God of Ten Thousand Souls sleeps. Do you know what a Great God is? You brat, if you want to seek death, don't do it like this!" Antares was a bit anxious, fearing that Lin Moyu had already gone.
Lin Moyu said, "Don't worry, I'm just thinking about it; I haven't gone yet."
Hearing Lin Moyu say this, Antares felt a bit more at ease. "Don't go; that guy hasn't woken up yet, and anyone who approaches will be considered an enemy."
"I understand."
Regarding this point, Lin Moyu had already guessed as much; what Antares said was indeed not much different from what he had guessed.
Antares suddenly asked, "Why do you want to go there? There is nothing there."
Lin Moyu explained the matter that the Great God Kunlun had entrusted to him.
Antares said, "Then you don't need to go; the divine spark of the God of Holy Sound is in the Azure Dragon Sea, not the Great Vortex."
"But I've searched the entire Azure Dragon Sea and didn't find it." Lin Moyu frowned; Antares wouldn't talk nonsense, so could it be that he really had some oversight?
Antares chuckled. "Anyway, I've already told you. As for whether you can find it, that's up to you."
"I'm going to continue sleeping; don't come bother me if there's nothing!"
"If you bother me again, I'll really eat you! Don't think I wouldn't dare!"
After saying that, Antares cut the connection.
Lin Moyu chuckled; it wasn't that Antares wouldn't dare, but rather that he couldn't.
This guy, he was only good at talking tough.
However, it was fortunate that he had asked Antares; otherwise, if he had rashly gone over, he would have truly been in big trouble.
"Since Antares said the divine spark is still in the Azure Dragon Sea, it must be there."
"I've clearly searched it twice; could there really be something I missed?"
Lin Moyu recalled the process of his search and confirmed that there were no oversights.
"There must be some place I missed."
"Think again!"
Lin Moyu chose to believe Antares's words and felt that there must be a place he hadn't noticed.
