Chapter 4152: Becoming More and More Monstrous
Lin Moyu first visited the Imperial Pool, then made a trip to a special filth pool. There were nine special filth pools in total; one had already produced a mutant wild beast and was now half dried up. In the remaining eight, there was a mutant beast's body in each, but none contained a corresponding soul. According to the rules of heaven and earth, the souls of wild beasts ultimately return to the Beast Emperors they do not enter mutant beast bodies on their own.
That mutant wild beast was created through the combined efforts of the nine Beast Emperors, but they only managed to make one. Now, even that sole mutant has been killed, leaving behind eight unmoving bodies.
Lin Moyu surveyed the entire Great Wilderness, checked every filth pool, examined the natural formations, and also the formations laid by the Candle Dragon. Combining all he knew, he deduced the causes and effects.
The Candle Dragon had told Lin Moyu not to kill all the wild beasts, because his plan was not yet complete and the beasts still had a use. Lin Moyu complied, partly out of respect for the Candle Dragon. At present, the Candle Dragon was more friend than foe; as for the Beast Emperors, they were dispensable, so giving face was no big deal. Along the way, Lin Moyu encountered several Beast Emperors. Each time they saw him, they turned and fled. Only the less intelligent wild beasts would attack Lin Moyu, only to be killed again for their trouble.
Once he understood the causes and consequences, Lin Moyu's heart was clear, and he began to formally examine his own techniques. Reviewing and comprehending the purpose of one's techniques is an important and sacred process.
Several technique stars shone brightly, suspended high in the soul world. The Chaos Child was not present when the tiger is away, the monkeys become kings so the three technique stars stood side by side at the top, each refusing to yield to the others.
[Infinite Summoning (Chaos)]
[Gathering Power (Chaos)]
[Strengthening Troops (Chaos)]
The Gathering Power and Strengthening Troops techniques, which hadn't changed in ten thousand years, finally grew and became chaos techniques, reaching the same level as Infinite Summoning. Lin Moyu was puzzled at first why had his techniques advanced? Although he had achieved Eternity, he was still a Dao Lord; his major realm hadn't changed. According to past experience, techniques should only undergo qualitative change after reaching a new realm.
There must have been a reason for this break in precedent. After thinking, he concluded it was due to the Immortality Great Dao only the Immortal Dao could achieve this.
Lin Moyu stopped worrying about the cause and focused on the results. Infinite Summoning grew even stronger. The number and strength of undead servants still depended on the Great Thousand World, and his own strength also depended on that world. So, to become stronger, he needed to find ways to expand the Great Thousand World.
The biggest change in the technique was in Resurrection of the Dead. Now, not only could he revive beings from within the world, but also revive creatures from chaos, restoring them to their peak state. Whether undead servants or revived beings, both now had the ability to resurrect, with the number of resurrections doubled to twenty. After twenty deaths, undead servants would appear in the chaos region of the Great Thousand World and have their resurrection count reset. As long as they were summoned back during death, the resurrection count would reset as well.
Revived beings, after dying twenty times in the outside world, would not return to the chaos region but would self destruct, with an explosion more powerful than their strongest attack in life. Lin Moyu could also command revived beings to self destruct at any death.
On the surface, Infinite Summoning hadn't changed much, but in fact, it was far more powerful chaos techniques were now intertwined with chaos itself.
He then turned his attention to the two former origin techniques. After ascending to chaos techniques, Gathering Power could now gather not only the power of summoned beings, but also the power of the Great Thousand World and the Dao World. However, Lin Moyu knew the real limitation was himself his body, soul, and his reluctance to leave this world for now prevented him from unleashing the technique's full potential.
Next, he examined Strengthening Troops, which he hadn't used in a long time. Now that it had become a chaos technique, it had changed. Previously, it multiplied damage tenfold, allowing his power to leap across several minor realms, even a major realm. But as his realm increased, the gap between minor realms grew, and tenfold damage was no longer enough to cross even a single minor realm. It was only useful for absorbing enemy souls to strengthen himself, but since his soul had reached the limit of heaven and earth, even if he tried, he couldn't absorb any more, so that use was gone.
Strengthening Troops, as an origin technique, had become almost useless. But now, as a chaos technique, it underwent a qualitative change.
[Strengthening Troops (Chaos): All summoned beings' combat strength increases by one realm.]
Just a few words, but Lin Moyu's eyes lit up. An increase of one realm he knew it couldn't be a major realm, but even a minor realm was impressive. With Strengthening Troops, his undead servants could rival Eternals. Not just by ganging up, but in single combat. This meant his overall power had increased a thousandfold.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu thought, "What about those skeletons?" He remembered the three types of skeletons summoned from the Bloody Bone Dao. If the chaos technique could affect those skeletons, their power would rise even further.
He decided to try. Summoning an undead servant, it immediately summoned the Bloody Bone Dao, and the skeletons appeared: skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, skeleton mages. For a moment, Lin Moyu felt he'd returned to the days of commanding skeletons to sweep across the land.
Moved by nostalgia, Lin Moyu activated the technique. Chaos Technique: Strengthening Troops! A faint light shot from his fingertip, a tiny crack appeared in the void, and chaos energy sprayed out, falling onto the undead servant. The servant's aura didn't change much, but as its master, Lin Moyu could sense the increase in power.
Their combat strength had indeed risen they could now fight Eternals one on one. Maybe they couldn't win, but at least they'd hold out for a while. The chaos energy spread from the undead servant to the Bloody Bone Dao, and the skeletons' strength rose as well.
"It works!" Lin Moyu was delighted the technique worked on the Bloody Bone Dao, and the skeletons' power rose by a realm, surpassing even the Hand of Heaven.
One undead servant could summon ten thousand skeletons from the Bloody Bone Dao, and with Strengthening Troops, that was equivalent to ten thousand Dao Lords. Just one servant could sweep the outer battlefield.
Lin Moyu felt his own monstrousness was growing with his realm so much so that even he was a bit speechless.
And this was just three techniques; he had several more just as powerful, and even more astonishing talents. With this advancement, the stimulation brought by the Immortality Great Dao affected not just his techniques, but also the World Tree...
