Chapter 718

Based on Lin Moyu's perception of the Ancient Thunder Tower, it should possess some form of consciousness, just like the Stone Spirit in the God Stone Dungeon.

However, this consciousness was currently in a deep sleep, leaving behind only instincts that acted according to rules.

Lin Moyu believed his judgment was correct; every time he communicated with the core of the Ancient Thunder Tower, he would get that wonderful, wondrous feeling.

Perhaps one day, when the Ancient Thunder Tower woke up, they would be able to converse.

Some powerful equipment could develop independent sentience. The demon-exterminating tower also seemed to have developed a trace of sentience, but its main body was still too weak.

Now, by devouring the lightning elements of the Ancient Thunder Tower, it seemed to be slowly growing stronger, but it still had a long way to go before fully developing sentience.

"Huh?"

Lin Moyu saw a figure in the records of the Ancient Thunder Tower.

A woman wearing a form-fitting mage robe.

This woman was stunningly beautiful. Lin Moyu was not lustful, but he had to admit that her beauty could only be compared to that of the Water God.

Her beauty alone was not enough to surprise him. What surprised Lin Moyu was that he felt as if he knew this woman.

But he was absolutely certain he had never met her. Yet, for some reason, she felt familiar at first glance.

"There's something off about this person's identity."

Lin Moyu was certain her identity was highly suspicious; otherwise, she wouldn't have given him this feeling.

According to the information in the Ancient Thunder Tower, the woman did not stay long before leaving.

When she left, she could cover over a dozen meters with every step.

This caught Lin Moyu's attention once again. It wasn't that the woman was fast, but rather like teleportation—stepping out, disappearing from here, and appearing in another place.

"It's a bit like teleportation… Is this also a Law?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Moyu couldn't find anyone matching her in his memory and had to give up.

Recently, because the war had ended, the number of Professionals coming to the Ancient Thunder Tower had increased again.

Everything was peaceful and uneventful.

Lin Moyu left the Shenxia Ancient City.

At the same time, a group of people also left the Shenxia Ancient City. After exiting the city, they quickly headed in one direction, clearly with a specific goal in mind.

Someone glanced back at Lin Moyu before leaving, and only when they saw he wasn't following did the vigilance in their eyes fade.

It seemed they had found some Boss and wanted to defeat it.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, quickly guessing their little thoughts.

It was a good thing to remain vigilant at all times. In a place like the Ancient Battlefield, losing one's vigilance could mean facing death.

As Lin Moyu left the Shenxia Ancient City, a silent will descended.

The Demon Emperor, who had been waiting outside the ancient city for several days, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Lin Moyu, you're finally here."

Her soul's will locked onto Lin Moyu silently. Her level was far higher than Lin Moyu's, so he was completely unaware of this non-hostile lock-on.

Just as she was thinking about how to greet Lin Moyu, he suddenly spread his wings and vanished in an instant.

The soul lock-on was severed, and the Demon Emperor couldn't help but look shocked. "Was I discovered?"

"That's impossible!"

With her discernment, she actually couldn't tell where Lin Moyu had gone.

Both her physical sight and her soul lost track of Lin Moyu in an instant.

She deduced that Lin Moyu probably hadn't noticed her, but his sudden disappearance was still mind-boggling to her.

— Requesting Flowers

Her soul had completely lost its lock on Lin Moyu, but it didn't matter; the aura she had left on him was still there.

Just a few seconds later, she felt Lin Moyu's aura again.

To her shock, Lin Moyu was actually over several thousand kilometers away from her.

This speed was simply too fast.

Even some high-level God-ranks didn't have such speed.

Lin Moyu's speed was already enough to rival hers.

"How can his speed be so fast?!"

"This makes no sense."

The next second, Lin Moyu's aura vanished once more.

Filled with shock, the Demon Emperor took a light step and sped off in the direction Lin Moyu was heading.

Her method of movement was different from Lin Moyu's. Lin Moyu relied on pure speed, while the Demon Emperor stepped on Laws, moving like teleportation.

… …

Every step covered hundreds of kilometers.

After a few steps, she arrived at the place where Lin Moyu had previously appeared.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore echoed, with thunder rumbling in the distance.

"Wind and Thunder Sea!"

The Demon Emperor murmured softly, memories flashing in her eyes.

A long time ago, before she became the Demon Emperor, she had been here.

Not only had she been here, but she had also gone to see the Great Vortex.

A thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye. Returning here and looking at the Wind and Thunder Sea, she still felt a sense of nostalgia.

Lin Moyu's aura appeared again. In just a few seconds, he had already crossed the Wind and Thunder Sea and entered the Wind-Thunder Continent.

"What is he doing going to the Wind-Thunder Continent?"

With a slight smile, the Demon Emperor followed.

Lin Moyu's actions had piqued her interest.

She followed again, crossing the Wind and Thunder Sea in just a few steps, calm and ethereal, without a trace of worldly presence.

All her movements were incredibly elegant, completely different from her majestic appearance in the Demon Emperor Palace.

She noticed that Lin Moyu was no longer moving but had stopped.

Hiding her figure, she approached Lin Moyu and saw him in battle.

Patches of Thunder Trees were collapsing and dying. Lin Moyu stood in midair, watching his Undead Legion slaughtering the groves of Thunder Trees.

In the sky, there was also a massive bone gate enveloped in silver-white flames, with a giant eye inside looking down upon the world.

"Is he leveling up?" The Demon Emperor realized what Lin Moyu was doing.

The grove of Thunder Trees below was not small, numbering over thirty thousand, and it also had a World Boss-level Thunder Tree.

At this level, a grove of Thunder Trees was just a piece of cake for Lin Moyu.

The Eye of the Undead slowly rotated, overlooking heaven and earth.

The Demon Emperor suddenly frowned, her soul trembling slightly.

Then, she heard Lin Moyu's voice.

"Come out!"

Chapter 701: I Don't Want to Die, So I'm Looking to Cooperate with You

The Demon Emperor saw a pair of eyes flashing with sharp light, staring right at her.

She knew that Lin Moyu couldn't see her, but he had sensed her presence.

"It was that eye above that discovered me."

The Demon Emperor felt an attack on her soul, which came precisely from the Eye of the Undead above.

Her previous clashes with Lin Moyu had all been fought from a distance. Experiencing his skill up close for the first time, she found it extremely peculiar.

The Demon Emperor generously dropped her concealment, revealing her graceful figure.

"It's you!" Lin Moyu's gaze instantly turned sharp.

The moment she dropped her concealment, the aura of a barrier appeared.

Barrier… Abyss… Demon.

Lin Moyu instantly guessed her identity.

In the entire Abyss, there was only one person who could approach him without being detected.

Sensing Lin Moyu's hostility, the Demon Emperor was slightly surprised. "You recognize me?"

Lin Moyu was extremely vigilant, already entering a combat state. "The Demon Emperor."

"How did you guess?" The Demon Emperor was even more surprised. How could Lin Moyu be so certain?

She knew that they had never met.

Furthermore, her aura had completely changed, making it impossible for Lin Moyu to identify her by it.

She was very curious about how Lin Moyu was so sure of her identity. Was it just a guess?

That was impossible; Lin Moyu's attitude was far too certain.

Lin Moyu did not answer her. "You sneaked into Shenxia Ancient City and followed me all the way here. What do you want?"

As he spoke, the ancient thunder outer tower appeared in his hand, ready for battle at any moment.

The Demon Emperor retreated a short distance. "This Emperor has no malice."

"Do you honestly believe that?" Lin Moyu sneered. The hatred between the human race and the Abyssal Demons spanned over a thousand years; any meeting was a battle to the death.

The Demon Emperor had tried to kill him several times, and not long ago, she had even teamed up with the Dragon Emperor to try and finish him off.

Coming here now and claiming she had no malice was simply laughable.

The Demon Emperor chuckled. "I am serious. I really mean no harm this time."

"With my status, there is no need to lie to you."

Lin Moyu naturally wouldn't believe her, but he didn't attack immediately either. After all, when facing the Demon Emperor, he only had the strength to protect himself.

Lin Moyu asked in a deep voice, "Then what are you here for?"

Facing an extremely vigilant Lin Moyu, the Demon Emperor showed as much goodwill as possible. "I've come to cooperate with you."

"Cooperate?" Lin Moyu's mind raced, and he immediately thought of a thousand years ago.

There had indeed been a cooperation between the human race and the Abyssal Demons back then. The two races had joined forces to drive the Dragon Race out of the Yuan Battlefield and cut off all spatial passages.

As a result, the Dragon Race had been unable to return for a thousand years.

Lin Moyu's eyes flickered as he guessed the Demon Emperor's intention. Did she want to replicate that cooperation from a thousand years ago?

Now that there were no Half-step Super Gods left among the humans, he was likely the strongest. It made sense for her to seek him out for cooperation.

The Demon Emperor nodded. "Indeed. I have come to find you precisely because I want to cooperate with you."

Lin Moyu remained vigilant, not relaxing in the slightest due to her words. "Tell me, what kind of cooperation do you want?"

The Demon Emperor said, "Before we cooperate, let's discuss the terms. I hope you will agree to one thing."

"What is it?"

"In the future, no matter what level you reach, you must not make a move against me. Likewise, I will not be the first to act against you or the human race."

The Demon Emperor proposed a condition that left Lin Moyu somewhat puzzled.

This condition sounded rather strange.

Even Lin Moyu couldn't understand her true intention for a moment. "Be clearer."

A smile appeared on the Demon Emperor's face. "It means exactly what it says."
