Chapter 2341: Look What I've Brought Back for You
The Heavenly Dragon, who was struggling with the Cold Star Ice Crystal, suddenly sensed something was wrong and looked back. His huge dragon eyes nearly popped out.
His eyes widened, "What the hell!"
Above Lin Moyu's head, a vortex had formed. One end of the vortex was connected to the Dragon God Tree branch, and large amounts of energy from the Dragon God Tree were being sucked away by the vortex.
The Heavenly Dragon's eyelids twitched, "I told you to absorb, but not like this!"
Lin Moyu was immersed in cultivation and didn't hear anything. He just kept absorbing.
In fact, it was the Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal that was absorbing. The Dragon God Tree branch contained some mysterious power that not only helped with cultivation but was even more beneficial to dragons.
The Dragon Soul Crystal was a dragon treasure, so it naturally benefited as well.
Out of instinct, the Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal was greedily devouring the mysterious power from the Dragon God Tree branch. The tenth color gradually became more vibrant.
Lin Moyu didn't care if it was too much. He just kept saying, "Absorb, absorb, absorb as much as you can."
The Heavenly Dragon stared for a while but found he couldn't do anything about it.
He had said it himself, telling Lin Moyu to absorb as much as possible. He couldn't go back on his word now.
As the mighty Heavenly Dragon, he had to maintain some face.
"Whatever, the Dragon God Tree can regenerate automatically anyway. It just takes some time."
"Besides, now that I've reached Celestial Venerable, the Dragon God Tree branch doesn't have much use for me anymore."
Thinking this way made him feel much better. He turned back to continue melting the Cold Star Ice Crystal.
The 100,000-meter tall Dragon God Tree branch gradually lost its luster under the frenzied absorption of the Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal.
The Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal absorbed nearly half of its mysterious power before finally taking complete form.
The tenth color became as abundant as the other nine colors, with all ten colors in perfect balance.
The fully formed Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal let out a loud dragon roar that echoed throughout the Rule World. At the same time, it spewed out a large amount of dragon breath onto Lin Moyu's soul.
As the dragon breath burned, Lin Moyu felt no harm at all. Instead, he looked like he was enjoying it.
His soul became purer in the dragon breath, with many impurities being refined away.
Unknowingly, Lin Moyu's soul gained an indescribable nobility and was imbued with a strong dragon aura.
Bang!
As his soul became purer and stronger, the bottleneck shattered. Lin Moyu finally stepped into the half-step Supreme realm.
Half-step Supreme still belonged to the Other Shore realm, and could be considered the peak of the Other Shore.
This level was much stronger than Saint Venerable but somewhat weaker than a true Supreme.
The difference was that the Rule World of a Supreme contained the power of origin, gaining recognition from the world. They could utilize the power of origin in battle.
The power of origin was very strong.
But some powerful half-step Supremes had spells that incorporated the power of origin.
Truly powerful half-step Supremes could potentially defeat the weakest Supremes.
Like Lin Mohan, who had combat power equivalent to a Supreme when she was at half-step Supreme.
If she encountered a trash-tier Supreme, Lin Mohan would still be able to kill them.
After becoming a half-step Supreme, Lin Moyu continued cultivating for a while, feeling his spells become even stronger.
Except for the Skeleton Hell, almost every spell would grow stronger along with his realm.
"The Skeleton Divine General should also be at half-step Supreme now. When forming the Undead Legion, it shouldn't be weaker than a mid-level Supreme."
"Going all out, the Skeleton King should be able to compete with high-level Supremes."
"As for the Skeleton Hell... forget it, that thing doesn't listen very well. But it's still useful. Below Supreme, it can kill as many as come."
"It's a pity there's no time to upgrade it to Supreme level. Otherwise, no matter how many Supremes the Battle Realm sends, it wouldn't be enough."
As his realm increased, his physical body improved as well.
The Immortal Golden Body became even stronger. Lin Moyu knew that with just his physical body alone, he could now fight against beings like the Human Emperor.
His soul had long since reached the Supreme level. Now it had taken another small step forward, firmly establishing itself within the Supreme realm.
The soul was the foundation of the Rule World. With his soul at Supreme level, it paved the way for Lin Moyu.
As long as he had enough power of origin, Lin Moyu could step into the Supreme realm.
However, if Lin Moyu wanted to become a Supreme of the Great World, he would need to cross the Divine Path and gain recognition from the Great World.
Soul, spells, physical body - all were strong. Lin Moyu realized his foundation was extremely solid, with almost no weaknesses.
Finishing his cultivation, he slowly opened his eyes, only to find the starry sky completely silent.
The Heavenly Dragon was gone, having disappeared to who knows where.
The Cold Star Ice Crystal was also gone, vanished without a trace.
Only the Dragon God Tree branch that had half its power absorbed remained, now only 50,000 meters tall, half its original height.
"Where did he go?"
Lin Moyu didn't leave. With the Dragon God Tree branch still here, the Heavenly Dragon wouldn't have gone far.
No matter where he went, he would return sooner or later.
In the human star domain, the Human Emperor suddenly issued the highest order.
All human cultivators were to withdraw back into the star domain and not allowed to leave.
All outbound transmission arrays for humans were closed. The human star domain was completely sealed off.
The army mobilized and began to assemble.
Everyone was confused. The great war had clearly ended, so why was this happening?
Could it be that new enemies were coming?
But the Human Emperor network gave no explanation, only telling everyone to continue cultivating and not slack off.
The human race now had sufficient resources. Even without going out to seek opportunities, they had enough for cultivation.
Most people had no objections to the Human Emperor's orders.
But there were always some troublemakers who refused to listen. When told not to do something, they insisted on doing it.
For such people, the Human Emperor didn't bother managing them, letting them leave as they pleased.
However, from then on, they would never again be qualified to return.
The Human Emperor revoked their status as members of the human race. It sounded cruel, but the Great World had always been cruel.
The older generation of humans had experienced that cruelty before. They understood what needed to be done.
Some of the new generation hadn't experienced it, especially some geniuses who didn't know their own limits. So let them experience it for themselves.
The consequences of not following orders were... well, they would find out soon enough.
The Human Emperor didn't even announce punishments for those who left privately, which led to even more people leaving.
These people were no longer part of the human race and would never be qualified to return.
The human star domain was sealed off and entered a state of martial law.
In one area of the human star domain, dozens of star systems were concentrated, also covered by human arrays.
The Star Fish people lived here.
They had relocated a second time, bringing their planetary resources to the human domain.
This was unavoidable. If the Battle Realm really came, they wouldn't be able to resist its attacks on their own.
Just one Supreme would be enough to exterminate them.
After discussion, Yu Chimei made the decision to relocate the entire clan to the human star domain.
Only this way would they have a glimmer of hope for survival. If the humans were defeated, they could only die together.
There were two or three other small clans who had no objections at all. They originally had no ability to protect themselves and completely followed the human race.
At this moment, less than a hundred years remained until the arrival of the Battle Realm.
In the boundary area, after waiting for two full years, the silent starry sky finally changed.
A huge rift suddenly appeared in space, and the Heavenly Dragon rushed out from it.
He was soaking wet, water dripping from his body.
The Heavenly Dragon laughed heartily, "I'm back!"
Lin Moyu looked at the Heavenly Dragon, "You went to the Realm Sea?"
The water on the Heavenly Dragon's body was from the Realm Sea. Obviously, he had gone to the Realm Sea.
The Heavenly Dragon shouted, "You already know the answer, why ask? You recognize the water from the Realm Sea."
Lin Moyu said, "You're injured?"
He saw that some of the Heavenly Dragon's scales were broken, and there were several places where even the flesh was torn, still bleeding.
He waved his hand, sending out a stream of life force onto the Heavenly Dragon's body to heal him.
Feeling the abundant life force, the Heavenly Dragon laughed, "Wonderful! Just some flesh wounds. Look what I've brought back for you!"
