Chapter 176: The War Mummy
Lin QiYe took a deep breath, focusing on the summoning magic knowledge in his mind. He channeled his spiritual energy into each node of the massive magic circle on the ground. Gradually, the magic circle began to glow!
A mysterious spatial fluctuation emanated from the magic formation, and Lin QiYe felt as if his soul was being guided by some unknown force, slowly detaching from his body, drifting toward the void...
In his daze, it was as though he found himself in the vastness of the universe. Stars hung above him, some dazzling like the sun, others dim and faint, scattered like a cosmic web.
He understood clearly that his soul was now traversing through countless dimensions, and those stars, both bright and dark, represented distinct planes of existence.
The feeling was indescribable, like being detached from the mundane world, truly grasping the essence of the universe... He began to understand why Merlin was so obsessed with seeking the real world. Anyone who witnessed such a magnificent sight would feel small and insignificant.
Curious, he tried to send his consciousness into the nearest star. The star glowed brilliantly, even in the vast expanse of countless planes, it was one of the brightest.
This was a high-level plane full of advanced summoning creatures!
Perhaps due to insufficient sacrifices, or because of his own low cultivation, Lin QiYe's consciousness was bounced back as soon as he tried to enter the plane. However, in that brief moment, he faintly sensed some of the strongest creatures in this plane.
A red fox with nine tails, a large octopus with eight tails, a blue monster cat with two tails, a hard-shelled turtle with three tails...
Unfortunately, this plane was still beyond his reach. Even if he managed to enter, his current soul strength wouldn't be enough to form a contract with those creatures.
Lin QiYe shook his head in resignation. Driven by curiosity, he sent his consciousness into another radiant star. Though he knew he couldn't enter, he still wanted to see what kind of advanced summoning creatures lived there.
He saw a frost giant whose body was as large as a mountain, a mysterious lich, a giant mountain titan crawling on the wastelands, and a blue panda wrapped in electric sparks...
Lin QiYe's consciousness was once again repelled, but his mind remained immersed in the shock from the previous images. Not to mention the frost giant, which seemed to possess "limitless" pressure—just a single breath from it could destroy half a city.
So this is what high-level summoning creatures are like... They're incredibly powerful!
Lin QiYe silently vowed that once his cultivation was sufficient, he would definitely summon that frost giant. Just thinking about the day when he could ride it across mountains and seas under the dark sky made him feel a thrill.
But for now, he should focus on summoning a creature suited for his current level.
His gaze shifted to a nearby star, which was less brilliant but still fairly bright. He directed his consciousness into it.
This time, his consciousness was not repelled, indicating that the magic cube corpse he had sacrificed was enough to qualify him for entering this plane.
This was a wasteland-themed plane, inhabited by fierce and strange mutated creatures that hunted and killed each other. Very few humans survived here—it was a paradise for mutant beings!
Lin QiYe's soul traversed this plane, moving across the endless wasteland until he reached a desert.
At the same time, an undead mummy staggering across the desert suddenly raised its head, as if sensing Lin QiYe's presence. Its hollow eye sockets fixed on the spot where Lin QiYe's consciousness resided.
This mummy wasn't large, standing only up to Lin QiYe's chest. It looked thin and frail, as though even an ordinary person could knock it down with a single punch.
Lin QiYe frowned, observing the mummy before him. He felt a trace of confusion.
Logically, with his "extreme affinity for summoning magic" talent, the creatures he summoned should be of high combat power. In this low-level plane, at the very least, it should be the strongest mutated creature here...
But this small mummy, no matter how he looked at it, didn't seem to be a fighter.
Could it be one with enormous potential?
Lin QiYe hesitated for a moment before deciding to trust his "extreme affinity for summoning magic" talent and sign a summoning contract with the little mummy.
After all, he had only sacrificed a "Chuan" level mysterious corpse, and his soul had been wandering through many planes, growing unstable. If he abandoned this mummy to search for another creature in a different plane, he might not have enough time.
Lin QiYe's fingertip traced a small magic circle in the air, suspended between the two of them. This magic circle was for forming a summoning contract. Once it was branded into the mummy's soul, it would become his summoned creature.
The little mummy took two steps back, seemingly cautious. But due to Lin QiYe's "summoning creature affinity" buff, it didn't choose to flee. Instead, it curiously studied him.
"Become my summoned creature, and in exchange, I will make you the king of this plane," Lin QiYe said, calmly gazing into the mummy's eye sockets.
The mummy seemed to hear Lin QiYe's words. It lowered its head, as if pondering something. After a moment, it cautiously approached Lin QiYe, its bandaged fingers slowly extending to gently touch the floating magic circle.
At that moment, a brilliant light engulfed both their figures...
...
Training Camp, Warehouse.
The glow from the massive magic circle gradually faded, and the magic cube fragments in the center instantly turned to ash, vanishing without a trace.
Lin QiYe, sitting cross-legged next to the magic circle, opened his eyes, a hint of joy appearing in his gaze.
His first dimensional summoning was a success!
He could sense that, in a distant plane, a soul had already connected with his own. Whenever he wished, he could summon it.
Lin QiYe stood up, bit his fingertip again, and pressed his hand into the air.
A deep blue magic circle suddenly appeared, its complex lines and patterns slowly rotating, as if connecting to another world. Then, a small figure wrapped in bandages stepped out from the circle.
As the glow of the magic circle faded, the little mummy looked around in confusion, eventually turning its gaze to Lin QiYe.
Through the soul contract connection, Lin QiYe could sense all of the mummy's information. He muttered to himself:
"War Mummy, from the mutated wasteland world. Its abilities are... hmm?"
He froze, his eyes widening in surprise as he looked toward the mummy, which had somehow made its way to the corner of the warehouse.
To his astonishment, the little mummy excitedly raised an AK47, and with a flick of its bandaged mouth, it forcibly swallowed the entire gun—one that was taller than it!
