Chapter 369: Danger and Opportunity Go Hand in Hand, the Genesis Scepter
Unexpectedly, Lin Moyu encountered an Abyss Hellhound in the [Corpse Realm]. However, like the other corpses, this Abyss Hellhound was also a corpse, with its flesh rotting and seemingly dead yet alive.
At the moment he saw the Abyss Hellhound, Lin Moyu realized one thing: the Abyss demons had also participated in the great battle that created the [Corpse Realm].
"It's possible that the dragons were also involved."
Lin Moyu pondered in his heart as he cast the Detect skill with his fingers.
[Rotten Hellhound]
[Level: 40]
Seeing the information transmitted back, Lin Moyu understood that he had truly entered another realm. His path was indeed correct.
In the distance, another corpse was moving. It had discovered Lin Moyu and was running over at a rapid speed, faster than any corpse he had seen before.
"It should also be level 40, a mid-level corpse?"
The information fed back by the Detect skill was exactly as he had expected. It was indeed a mid-level corpse, reaching level 40.
Not only had the environment changed, but the corpses within had also changed.
It was as if an invisible line divided the two areas, with the area behind being the low-level region and the area in front being the mid-level region.
From afar, Lin Moyu could see corpses running over from the low-level region. After entering the mid-level region, they would start moving slowly again.
Before discovering a target to attack, the corpses did not move quickly.
A skeletal mage appeared beside him, immediately unleashing an Elemental Explosion, blasting the Rotten Hellhound and the mid-level corpse into powder.
No matter their level 40, they were still no match for the skeletal mage's attack.
However, after entering this area, Lin Moyu became slightly more serious. At the very least, he had summoned a few skeletal mages by his side, giving the corpses some face.
Dongfang Yao now followed Lin Moyu even more closely.
In Lin Moyu's eyes, these level 40 corpse hellhounds were nothing.
But in her eyes, they were terrifying.
If just two or three of them came, she would be dead for sure.
The key was that she couldn't be bitten by them, or else she would turn into a corpse herself.
Dongfang Yao knew the consequences of being bitten, so she practically stuck to Lin Moyu, not daring to leave his side for even half a step, as she gazed at the nearby storm.
"Wait here," Lin Moyu left her with those words and strode into the storm.
Over the past few days, Dongfang Yao had become accustomed to Lin Moyu going into the storm alone to be struck by lightning while she waited outside.
This time, Lin Moyu left two skeletal mages to protect Dongfang Yao, as they had now entered the mid-level region and needed to be more careful.
As soon as he entered the range of the storm, Lin Moyu immediately felt the difference.
The intensity of the rain was much stronger than in the low-level region, carrying a nauseating sour stench and greater corrosiveness.
At the same time, it was accompanied by gusts of raging wind, howling loudly.
This was not just a rainstorm but a true storm, a thunderstorm.
In the low-level region, it could only be called a rainstorm, as there was no wind.
However, in the mid-level region, it carried strong winds, and like the rain, the wind possessed tremendous corrosive power.
Add to that the flashes of lightning and thunder, and it was just like a storm.
Through his skeletal armor, Lin Moyu could clearly judge that the overall damage of the storm in the mid-level region was about ten times greater than in the low-level region.
Thunder rumbled, and Lin Moyu waited for half a minute in the storm before finally encountering the first bolt of lightning. This bolt of lightning was thicker than those in the low-level region, with a hint of black lines, appearing somewhat eerie. At the moment the lightning struck him, Lin Moyu removed his skeletal armor, allowing the lightning to hit his body directly. The Damage Transfer skill triggered, and the All-Encompassing Connection talent activated.
All the damage Lin Moyu sustained was shared among all his summons.
[Obtained Genesis Lightning, Experience +1,000,000]
At the same time as receiving this prompt, a warm current ten times greater than before entered his body.
In an instant, it merged with the warm current he had accumulated within his body.
The warm current instantly swelled, reaching its limit, and then fiercely metamorphosed.
Electricity crackled all over his body, making crackling sounds.
Lin Moyu had long felt that the Genesis Lightning he had obtained was about to reach its limit, and something would likely happen.
Unexpectedly, after enduring hundreds of lightning strikes, he finally reached the mid-level region and absorbed an even more powerful Genesis Lightning.
This caused the true metamorphosis.
Lightning continuously emanated from his body, and Lin Moyu realized that one of his attributes was changing. Originally, after absorbing the Lightning Crystal, he had 50% immunity to lightning elemental damage.
Now, this trait had become 60%.
60% immunity to lightning elemental damage.
Combined with his 5x elemental damage reduction, assuming 10,000 points of lightning elemental attack damage, he would ultimately only take 800 points of damage.
The damage was reduced by a total of 12 times.
Moreover, this 800 points of damage would still be shared among all his summons.
This was just a slight change in his attributes, and an even greater change was still ongoing.
A small scepter appeared in Lin Moyu's palm.
The scepter was only the size of his palm, purely composed of lightning elements.
At the top of the scepter, there was a lightning bolt symbol, like an exquisite gem embedded in it.
[Genesis Scepter (Damaged)]
[Can be repaired by absorbing Genesis Lightning.]
It looked like a weapon or equipment, but it had no attributes or additional descriptions.
Lin Moyu estimated that it was because of its damaged state that it lacked attributes.
Absorb Genesis Lightning...
Lin Moyu pondered, looking at the dense thunderclouds in the sky.
The Wings of Lightning activated, and wings instantly spread out from his back. Lin Moyu transformed into lightning and charged into the thunderclouds.
From outside the storm, Dongfang Yao stared in a daze, muttering, "How can he fly now?"
"Those lightning-like wings look so powerful."
Lin Moyu dove into the thunderclouds, immediately attracting the attention of the lightning.
A large amount of lightning bolts thundered towards him, trying to drive out this intruder.
Lin Moyu gripped the Genesis Scepter, intending to absorb the lightning.
However, his skeletal armor flickered with light, rejecting all the lightning from his body. The Genesis Scepter couldn't absorb even a single strand.
Lin Moyu frowned, his heart growing fierce, and he abruptly removed his skeletal armor.
In an instant, dozens or even hundreds of lightning bolts struck his body.
[Obtained Genesis Lightning, Experience +1,000,000]
[Obtained Genesis Lightning, Experience +1,000,000]
...
[Seeking fresh flowers]
[Obtained Genesis Lightning, Experience +1,000,000]
Prompts popped up like crazy.
His experience was rapidly increasing.
The warm current reappeared within his body, swelling rapidly.
Its speed was dozens or even hundreds of times faster than before.
When the warm current reached its limit, it transformed into lightning and flowed into the Genesis Scepter.
The Genesis Scepter emitted a faint glow, seeming to become slightly brighter.
Lin Moyu understood that he needed to use his own body as a medium to absorb enough Genesis Lightning and then transfer it to the Genesis Scepter.
The Genesis Scepter did not require lightning itself but rather some special substance within the lightning.
After realizing this, Lin Moyu knew that he might be the only one capable of doing this.
If it were someone like Dongfang Yao, a single lightning bolt would likely reduce her to ashes.
Only he, with a large number of summons sharing the damage and his own extremely strong immunity to lightning elements, could absorb and condense the special substance from a vast amount of lightning and finally transfer it to the Genesis Scepter.
As he absorbed more and more lightning, the Genesis Scepter was becoming brighter.
...
Meanwhile, the onslaught of lightning was gradually decreasing.
After 1 minute, the Wings of Lightning entered its cooldown period, and Lin Moyu descended from the sky.
At this point, the lightning in the storm had nearly disappeared, leaving only the rain and wind.
The Genesis Scepter in his hand was much brighter than before, but it was still in a damaged state.
However, his experience had increased by a full 5%.
After reaching level 40, experience gain became very slow.
He had cleared the wind and lightning elemental dungeons nearly 20 times in total.
Yet his experience had only increased by 20%.
On average, each dungeon run only increased his experience by 1%.
However, by absorbing a large amount of Genesis Lightning, his experience had directly increased by 10%.
In just one minute, it was equivalent to five dungeon runs.
At the same time, Lin Moyu discovered that his lightning immunity attribute had increased again, from 60% to 61%.
The increase was greatest when he condensed the Genesis Scepter, directly increasing by 10%.
Now, after absorbing an even larger amount of Genesis Lightning, it had only increased by 1%.
The strangeness of the world was something Lin Moyu could not fully comprehend.
Truly, danger and opportunity went hand in hand.
Perhaps this journey to the [Corpse Realm] was a rare opportunity for him.
"Be careful!"
Dongfang Yao's urgent voice rang in his ears.
In the next moment, she had already rushed to his side.
She held a shield that flickered with light, shielding him.
Three Rotten Hellhounds charged over.
Dongfang Yao's skill did not take effect, and the skeletal armor became the first layer of defense.
With a few bangs, the Rotten Hellhounds were knocked away.
The mid-level corpses followed behind the Rotten Hellhounds, also charging over, only to be blocked by the skeletal armor.
A mid-level corpse bit down relentlessly, its jaws clamping onto the skeletal armor with a cracking sound.
Dongfang Yao's face showed fear, but she didn't retreat a single step.
At this moment, Lin Moyu's body was unprotected by the skeletal armor, as Dongfang Yao had seen him remove it in a flash.
Her actions surprised Lin Moyu slightly.
When did she become so brave?
