Chapter 717

Her arrival immediately attracted the gazes of a large number of male Professionals; many who had been chatting went completely blank the moment they saw her.

Their eyes were firmly locked onto her, unable to look away for a long time.

She was stunning, constantly exuding an unimaginable charm.

Not only the male Professionals, but many female Professionals were also drawn to her, showing looks of envy.

She was like a fire in a cold night, drawing everyone's attention the moment she appeared.

There wasn't much expression on her face, and her lips seemed to carry a faint smile.

But deep in her eyes, there was a trace of disgust.

She disliked being stared at like this.

Fortunately, it was only staring; no one came over to harass her.

Professionals still had their own integrity, especially high-level Professionals who could reach Level 70 and complete their Third Awakening; everyone had their own principles.

Most people were simply admiring her; everyone loves beautiful things.

She arrived at the center of the plaza, where the Ancient Thunder Tower was located.

However, the Ancient Thunder Tower was currently inactive, submerged underground.

A perimeter had been cordoned off here, guarded by soldiers who did not allow anyone to approach.

The woman did not approach either, merely standing at a distance and watching.

"Ancient Thunder Tower."

The woman slowly uttered these words, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Miss, are you here to see the Ancient Thunder Tower?" A voice suddenly sounded in her ear as someone approached.

The one who approached was a middle-aged man in his thirties. To be able to become a high-level Professional in his thirties, he could be considered a genius.

But compared to the woman, he fell far short.

The woman looked to be only twenty years old, very young.

Of course, no one believed she was actually only twenty.

The woman did not turn her head. Parting her lips slightly, she uttered two words, "Yes."

Her voice was slightly cold, carrying a trace of arrogance.

After speaking, the woman lifted her leg and walked away.

Just as the man wanted to catch up, his vision suddenly blurred, and he lost track of her figure.

He quickly searched and found that the woman had already reached a spot over ten meters away.

Then his vision blurred again, and the woman disappeared once more, another ten-plus meters away.

"So fast!"

He marveled inwardly. The woman was clearly just taking simple steps, yet each step covered more than ten meters.

After a few steps, she had completely vanished from sight.

In his shock, he did not pursue her.

He knew she had absolutely no desire to interact with him.

With the pride of a high-level Professional, he wouldn't make a fool of himself.

…

Leaving Shenxia Ancient City and escaping all those gazes, the woman clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

That feeling was truly uncomfortable, even somewhat unpleasant.

She seemed to be regretting her choice. Stepping on the grass on the ground, she muttered to herself, "Was this decision right or wrong?"

"Lin Moyu isn't here, and I don't know when he will come. But other than this place, where else can this Emperor find him?"

"This Emperor cannot cross over to the Human World. It seems this is the only place where I can wait for Lin Moyu."

"There is a saying among humans: 'Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it.' Since I'm here, I might as well wait."

She was the Demon Emperor—or rather, a clone of the Demon Emperor.

She had transformed into human form and suppressed her power to come here, all to find Lin Moyu.

But since Lin Moyu was not here, she could only wait.

She found a large rock outside the city and lay down somewhat lazily.

An invisible barrier appeared, concealing her aura and hiding her figure.

The passing Professionals turned a blind eye to her, completely unable to see her.

For high-level Professionals, her level was far too high. If she did not wish to be discovered, neither high-level nor top-level Professionals could detect her.

She was in no hurry. She believed Lin Moyu would eventually come here.

Lin Moyu carried the aura she had left on him, allowing her to sense his approximate location.

Lin Moyu should be in the Ancient Battlefield right now, but not in the Lower Space; he was in the Upper Space.

Given Lin Moyu's level, for him to stay in the Upper Space all this time, where he was went without saying.

…

Lin Moyu continuously used his skill, consuming his soul power thread by thread.

At first, he couldn't control it. Once a thread of soul power was used, he would instantly fly ten thousand meters away; with slightly more force, it would be tens of thousands of meters.

It was too far from what he had anticipated.

Lin Moyu's vision was to be able to freely control the distance.

Starting from a hundred meters up to a hundred thousand meters, he wanted to fly as far as he wished.

(daab)

Otherwise, with only speed and no precision, the effectiveness of this skill would be drastically reduced.

How could such an excellent skill not be utilized to its fullest? That would be far too wasteful.

However, achieving this was very difficult.

For ten consecutive days, Lin Moyu practiced the skill without a moment's pause.

He lost count of how many hundreds of thousands of times he practiced, but he gradually grasped the rhythm and became increasingly proficient.

After ten days, Lin Moyu could already control his movements at will within a range of a hundred to a thousand meters.

The precision was within ten meters, and the time taken did not exceed 0.1 seconds, making it as fast as teleportation.

To be able to master the skill to this extent within ten days, Antares once again marveled that Lin Moyu was indeed a genius.

The process of mastering the skill was also the process of Lin Moyu improving the precision of his control over his own soul power.

During the process of practicing the Wings of the Undead, it also had a tremendous effect on his cultivation of the Soul Splitting Technique.

The essence of the Soul Splitting Technique was to split a thread of soul from the main soul body to form a clone-like entity, which was used to bear the backlash.

Because the split thread of soul was extremely minuscule, any damage to it would not have a major impact on the main soul.

Without damaging the soul's foundation, he could split at most five threads of soul, which allowed him to unleash the purple God-Slaying Lightning five times.

If he continued to split his soul, it would affect his soul's foundation.

Of course, with the talent of Total Rebirth, even his soul could undergo Rebirth.

But the activation of the talent had preconditions; someone had to actively kill him, and there had to be an interval of over one minute, so it was not without weaknesses.

But now, after these days of practicing the Wings of the Undead, Lin Moyu's control over his soul was becoming increasingly precise.

By applying this understanding to other areas, he also gained a brand-new comprehension of the Soul Splitting Technique.

Now, Lin Moyu could split even smaller and finer threads of soul power, splitting less of his soul to form clones.

Without damaging his soul's foundation, where the Soul Splitting Technique previously only allowed five threads, he could now split ten.

Although it was only five more opportunities to attack, in battle, a tiny difference often meant the difference between life and death.

After ten days, Lin Moyu stopped practicing.

He knew he had trained to a certain point, and continuing to push would yield little effect.

In fact, starting from the eighth day, the effect of his practice had already become negligible.

Antares glanced at him. "Done practicing?"

Lin Moyu nodded. "Pretty much. The effects are no longer very noticeable."

Antares looked indifferent. "It is indeed about there. With your soul level, being able to train to this extent is already not bad."

"I don't know about your skill, but as for the Soul Splitting Technique, you have reached your limit."

Lin Moyu said with a hint of doubt, "I can feel that there still seems to be room for improvement with the Soul Splitting Technique."

"Of course. You are only at the elementary stage of the Soul Splitting Technique, but you are still far from the next stage."

"What is the next stage like?"

"What's the use of telling you? Your soul can't bear it at all. Do things appropriate for your level."

Lin Moyu knew Antares was being mysterious again, but he wasn't in a hurry anyway.

Once his level went up, he could just study it himself.

Chapter 700: The Demon Emperor's Shock

Shenxia Ancient City was the name given by the people of the Shenxia Empire.

In truth, its real name was the god-slaying fortress, an incredibly powerful weapon of war.

The "god-slaying" in its name referred to true gods.

At its peak, when fully unleashed, it could slay true gods.

The power Lin Moyu could currently control was less than one-ten-thousandth of its peak, yet it was already enough to stand on equal footing with existences like the Demon Emperor and the Dragon Emperor.

It was even child's play to slay a Level 98 Half-step Super God like Jiang Yi.

This showed just how powerful the god-slaying fortress was.

The unwitting people of the Shenxia Empire merely treated Shenxia Ancient City as a fortress for resting.

It was also by relying on this fortress that the human race managed to secure a foothold on the four continents of the Ancient Battlefield's Lower Space.

People came and went in the ancient city, making it very bustling.

Lin Moyu appeared outside the ancient city once more and strode inside.

The crowd in the ancient city seemed to have changed again, with many unfamiliar faces appearing.

Some left the ancient city and the Ancient Battlefield, returning to the Human World to enjoy a rare moment of peace.

There were also newcomers entering this place to begin their adventurous lives.

Lin Moyu could sense a trace of joy coming from the Ancient Thunder Tower.

He had already gained the recognition of the Ancient Thunder Tower, becoming its new master.

Although he could not yet fully control this ancient god fortress, the authority he possessed already surpassed that of Regiment Commander Feng Yiming.

As long as his soul was strong enough, Lin Moyu could even control this ancient god fortress to take flight and battle.

Lin Moyu had learned from Antares that after cultivating to the God level, the most important thing was the soul.

The soul did not just represent combat power; it also represented one's level, realm, future, and so on…

The soul is the root of everything.

This was Antares's summary regarding the soul, and Lin Moyu also kept it firmly in mind.

Coming to Shenxia Ancient City this time, Lin Moyu did not activate the Ancient Thunder Tower.

Standing on the plaza, he communicated with the core of the Ancient Thunder Tower, obtaining recent information from it.

The core of the Ancient Thunder Tower possessed many functions, and recording daily events was one of them.
