Catastrophic Necromancer TL

 Chapter 3364: The Trouble is Just Beginning

Lin Moyu had always harbored doubts. He believed his judgment wouldn't be wrong, but what happened in the seventh extreme made him question his own judgment.

Seeing is believing. He still needed to see for himself if the other party had truly developed intelligence.

The remnant soul wasn't large enough to develop intelligence.

If it really had gained intelligence, then many things would have to be reconsidered. His understanding of souls and power systems would need to be rebuilt and re-evaluated.

Not just him, even the Human Emperor's database would need to be changed.

It was a remnant soul, but there were differences between remnant souls.

The Saint Talisman Venerable in the Great World had also only left behind a remnant soul, much smaller than the one in the glacier.

Even the tiny remnant soul in the fourth extreme far surpassed the remnant soul left behind by Saint Talisman Venerable.

But Saint Talisman Venerable's remnant soul was deliberately left behind, containing his memories. Developing intelligence from it was natural.

But the remnant soul suppressed under the glacier had no memories. It was just a relatively pure soul fragment. To develop intelligence, it would need to be more complete.

Based on his understanding of souls, plus the growth rate of the remnant soul in each extreme, Lin Moyu judged that at least the eighth extreme would be needed for the remnant soul to possibly develop intelligence.

Lin Moyu moved swiftly through the cold wind. He walked very fast, leaving glacier tea tree after glacier tea tree behind in an instant.

He didn't encounter any more glacier beasts along the way. The glacier beasts along the way had already been eliminated by him.

When the soul flame appeared in his sight, Lin Moyu finally arrived at his destination.

The soul flame was almost exactly as he had imagined - the same size, the same intensity, with no discrepancies.

A remnant soul of this level was indeed unlikely to develop intelligence.

Unless that being's main soul body was already at a level beyond Lin Moyu's comprehension.

Obviously that being hadn't reached such a level.

Lin Moyu looked at the soul flame from afar. The soul flame also noticed Lin Moyu's arrival.

It wasn't like in the sixth extreme where it only had a violent killing aura. It seemed much quieter, giving the illusion of lying in wait.

This illusion would make one think it had intelligence.

But Lin Moyu didn't see it that way. After careful observation, Lin Moyu was completely certain - the other party had no intelligence.

What it had was a more intense battle instinct. This instinct had grown so strong that it was no longer just about fighting and killing, but about using some tactics.

The people of the Black Blood Great Realm all seemed to possess extremely strong combat abilities. This ability was innate, as if they were born for battle.

So it was quite normal for the remnant soul to have battle instincts.

"Judging from the remnant souls in previous extremes, the remnant soul in the seventh extreme is about one-tenth of the whole soul. If it were a bit more, it might truly be able to evolve independent intelligence."

"What a pity. Without intelligence, it's ultimately of little use."

After seeing clearly, Lin Moyu walked over step by step.

He knew that even if the other party had no intelligence, with its greatly enhanced battle instincts, it would still counterattack. It wouldn't let itself be slaughtered like the previous ones.

The remnant soul began to retreat, constantly moving through the gap between the glacier and the ground, retreating to a glacier tea tree.

Not only did it not move away from the tea tree, it clung to the tree's roots.

The roots were its only tool to communicate with the outside world. Streams of black mist rapidly seeped out along the roots.

The soul flame flickered violently. It was clearly using all its power.

The glacier trembled slightly. The seeping black mist emitted a summoning force. Large numbers of glacier beasts surged in from all directions.

Lin Moyu sensed the aura of the glacier beasts. There were many, at least over a hundred.

Each aura was extremely powerful. Over a hundred glacier beasts, all Glacier Beast Kings.

"So this is what was waiting!"

Lin Moyu chuckled. No wonder there were no glacier beasts along the way. They had all merged into Glacier Beast Kings.

Over a hundred peak ninth level Dao Venerable Glacier Beast Kings would require at least a thousand glacier beasts to merge.

The previous three hundred glacier beasts were clearly just appetizers. Now came the main course.

Lin Moyu smiled, "It does have battle instincts, but it's still too stupid."

"If it had used so many Glacier Beast Kings from the start, I would have turned and left without a word. But now, it's not enough."

If the Skeleton Hell hadn't advanced, facing over a hundred Glacier Beast Kings, Lin Moyu wouldn't have fought them at all.

Now that the Skeleton Hell had completed its advancement, though there were many Glacier Beast Kings, it wasn't a problem.

Space distorted. The Skeleton Hell instantly expanded to its limit, covering an area of ten thousand miles.

The hundred Glacier Beast Kings charging over were instantly devoured by the Skeleton Hell.

Spider lilies swayed, weakening the Glacier Beast Kings' power.

Hell fiends rushed over eagerly, biting without hesitation.

Cold currents erupted violently. The first wave of hell fiends that rushed over were almost all blasted away.

But the second wave, the third wave, the hell fiends kept coming endlessly.

Even for peak ninth level Glacier Beast Kings, killing eighth level Dao Venerable hell fiends wasn't so easy.

Su Pu and Heiyu attacked simultaneously, launching fierce attacks on the Glacier Beast Kings.

Lin Moyu shot out a line of fire. The World-Burning Fire flowed down the glacier tea tree into the glacier, wrapping around the remnant soul like a snake.

Screams from the remnant soul rang out in his soul. The remnant soul was in extreme pain under the burning of the World-Burning Fire.

But it didn't retreat, because it still needed to control the Glacier Beast Kings.

Lin Moyu smiled, "Let's see who can hold out longer!"

Lin Moyu had great confidence in his Skeleton Hell. Even facing a hundred Glacier Beast Kings, Lin Moyu still believed his Skeleton Hell would be the final victor.

Moreover, the Skeleton Hell would grow stronger as it fought. After devouring these hundred Glacier Beast Kings, the Skeleton Hell would strengthen considerably.

The remnant soul didn't flee either. It seemed to be in a standoff with Lin Moyu, as if to see whether it would be burned to death first, or kill Lin Moyu first.

Time passed bit by bit. Finally, a Glacier Beast King was killed by Su Pu.

Once a Glacier Beast King died, the outcome of this battle was almost decided.

The Skeleton Hell devoured the Glacier Beast King's corpse, gradually growing stronger. The hell fiends fought and nourished themselves. Those dead hell fiends rapidly revived, the attack continuing without pause.

Then, Glacier Beast Kings died one after another. The Skeleton Hell showed no sign of damage, instead growing stronger and stronger.

Even now, the remnant soul hadn't fled. It was still locked in fierce battle with Lin Moyu.

This also confirmed Lin Moyu's judgment was correct. The other party indeed only had battle instincts, not far from developing intelligence.

Battle instincts made it unwilling to flee, only thinking about how to kill Lin Moyu, the intruder.

Such a remnant soul wasn't difficult to deal with.

Imperceptibly, the World-Burning Fire grew more and more intense. Burning again and again made the World-Burning Fire stronger and stronger.

Lin Moyu controlled the battle rhythm, trying to make the Skeleton Hell's killing pace match his pace of burning the remnant soul.

After a full half day, as the last Glacier Beast King was killed, the remnant soul was also burned to fragments by the World-Burning Fire.

After this battle, the Skeleton Hell was greatly strengthened. The power of the World-Burning Fire had almost doubled. It was an extremely great harvest for Lin Moyu.

The glacier tea tree constantly grew new leaves. Without the remnant soul, the suppressed power would be rapidly absorbed, becoming tea leaves.

Lin Moyu unhesitatingly collected the tea leaves, muttering to himself, "Now comes the real trouble!"
