Chapter 1395: Coexistence of Madness and Calm
As Lin Moyu approached the eighth layer area, he finally felt a bit of interest, something that could make him take things seriously.
Previously, he had only used a bit of effort, and the pressure had no effect on him.
Coming here felt as simple as strolling through a garden.
The pressure was insufficient to provide effective stimulation, and the benefits during the breakthrough would correspondingly decrease.
Zhu Qiwu had said that it was best to reach one's limit. Although it would be a bit dangerous, the greater the danger, the greater the benefits.
Mediocre people will ultimately be content with mediocrity. Sometimes, only those who are a bit mad can gain more benefits.
Of course, this madness must be rational, not insanity.
Lin Moyu had a madness in his bones, having faced death repeatedly in the small world, dying and living, living and dying.
Only he knew the madness in his bones.
At this moment, he finally felt a bit of pressure, and his interest was piqued.
Finally, he stepped into the eighth layer area.
His blood boiled, and it seemed as if every drop of blood in his body was cheering.
The heart, fused with the Flame of Fire, beat madly, pumping more blood.
A drum-like sound emanated from Lin Moyu's body, roaring continuously.
In the eighth layer area, three God Kings simultaneously opened their eyes.
All three were at the ninth rank of God King, possessing the physical bodies of ninth-rank true deities.
From a physical standpoint, the three were already superior to many God Sovereigns.
Many God Sovereigns only had physical bodies at the fourth or fifth rank of true deities.
The three not only had strong physical bodies but also incredibly powerful laws.
Here, the laws were constantly compressed, almost to the point of materialization.
They used this to comprehend their own laws, and when they wielded them, the laws could unleash great power.
Coupled with their fourth-grade soul realms, once they unleashed their soul law domains, they could almost crush those of the same realm.
In Lin Moyu's eyes, these three were even stronger than Jin Hui, likely able to contend with minor God Sovereigns like the Black Sand God King.
The three looked at Lin Moyu with strange expressions.
"A true deity!"
A true deity coming here was somewhat unbelievable.
The three might not have spoken for a long time and didn't react immediately.
At this moment, Lin Moyu had already flown past them.
"Greetings, seniors!"
Lin Moyu's voice echoed in their souls, and by the time they reacted, Lin Moyu had disappeared from their sight.
The three looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.
What just happened? It seemed someone had passed by.
And it was a true deity who had crossed the eighth layer area.
This was like seeing a ghost.
The same thought occurred to all three, "Did we hallucinate?"
A light approached from afar, drawing a long line of fire in the void, illuminating the desolate space.
Chi Huo arrived in front of the three, clasping his fists in greeting, his tone slightly urgent, "Seniors, have you seen a young man at the true deity realm?"
The muscles on his face trembled continuously, resisting the strong pressure.
He hadn't seen Lin Moyu along the way and was a bit anxious.
In his view, although Lin Moyu was somewhat reckless, he was still a fire seed genius of the Human Race.
The fire of the Human Race must be passed down, and he couldn't just watch Lin Moyu die.
So he had chased after him, ready to rescue Lin Moyu if he was in danger.
The three recognized Chi Huo, "Junior Brother Chi Huo, what happened?"
Chi Huo quickly explained Lin Moyu's situation.
Only then did the three realize they hadn't hallucinated.
One of them said, "Indeed, a young man just passed by, and he was at the true deity realm."
Chi Huo asked urgently, "Where did he go? Is he injured?"
The three shook their heads, "No injuries, full of energy. He greeted us and then went deeper. It seems he's heading to the ninth layer area."
Chi Huo was stunned, then let out a strange cry, "The ninth layer area? How is that possible!"
"Yes, the ninth layer area. It didn't seem to be his limit."
"Such a young man, a true deity reaching this level."
"I'm quite curious. Why don't we go take a look?"
The three discussed for a while and decided to go see Lin Moyu.
As for Chi Huo, this was already his limit, and he couldn't go any further.
Chi Huo immediately said, "Please, seniors, this young man is exceptionally talented. If he's in danger, please save him."
The three spoke in unison, "Nonsense, the fire of the Human Race must be passed down. How could we let him die!"
With that, the three turned into streams of light and chased after Lin Moyu.
Chi Huo was left in place, unsure whether to stay or leave.
His muscles twitched continuously, and his flames flickered, the pressure from all directions causing him great discomfort.
This was his limit, and he couldn't stay here for long.
But now, he couldn't leave or stay. If he stayed too long, he would die.
After much hesitation, Chi Huo began to retreat, moving back hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
He stared in the direction Lin Moyu had gone, waiting quietly. Although he couldn't stay here for long, waiting for a while was no problem.
He used all his strength to resist the pressure, enduring as long as he could.
Without definite news, he felt uneasy and worried.
On his way to the ninth layer area, Lin Moyu felt the increasing pressure, pushing him to his limit.
"If the eighth layer area's limit is the ninth rank of a true deity, then the ninth layer should surpass the ninth rank of a true deity."
"The strong pressure is meant for the physical bodies of God Kings, exceeding my limit."
"But I can let the undead share the damage I endure, so I won't be in danger. I can also control the amount shared, constantly adjusting to my true limit."
"Only by reaching my true limit can I unleash all my power and gain the most benefits during the breakthrough."
His eyes were filled with madness and extreme calm.
Madness and calm, two seemingly opposing emotions, coexisted in Lin Moyu.
Just as life and death, two opposing existences, coexist in the Undead Law.
Contradictory yet reasonable.
Lin Moyu hadn't used his passive spells before because the pressure wasn't strong enough to harm him.
But he never forgot that he had this ability.
He wouldn't use it until he reached his true limit. He wanted to test his true limit, allowing his physical body to break through to the God King realm with the help of the low-grade demon stone during the breakthrough.
A physical body at the God King realm is exclusive to a very few.
If one can reach the God King realm with their physical body while still a minor God Sovereign, they are truly powerful geniuses.
Lin Moyu had never seen such a genius.
He had seen few minor God Sovereigns, and even the Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva hadn't reached this level.
Even among God Sovereigns, those with physical bodies at the God King realm were extremely rare and all exceptionally powerful geniuses.
For example, Zhu Qiwu and Zhu Tian.
Others like the Night Wind God Sovereign and the legion commanders in the Star Fortress didn't have physical bodies at the God King realm.
This shows how difficult it is to reach the God King realm with the physical body.
The physical body is hard to cultivate, which is why there are so few who do so in the great world.
As Lin Moyu pondered, a sharp pain suddenly appeared in his physical body.
The strong pressure finally caused damage to his physical body, activating his passive spells, and the damage was quickly transferred to the undead.
Lin Moyu felt only a slight pain, with no real harm.
"My physical body has finally reached its limit!"
