Chapter 496: New Primordial Rune Skill

Outside the Demon Emperor's palace, the Abyssal Fire was so deep it was almost black.

The five Demon Kings were roasting in the flames.

They showed no signs of pain; instead, their auras were rapidly recovering in the flames.

In just a moment, all their injuries had healed.

Not only healed, but they were even stronger than before.

The Dark Demon King, originally at the peak of level 92, was only half a step away from level 93.

Now, it had taken another step forward, and it wouldn't be long before it could evolve to level 93, becoming a mid-level Demon King.

The flames disappeared, and the Demon Emperor's voice slowly echoed, "You did well this time."

The Dark Demon King lowered its head, gritting its teeth, "But we failed to kill Lin Moyu."

The Demon Emperor said, "He entered Shenxia Ancient City and controlled the ancient Thunder Tower. It's normal that you couldn't kill him."

"Next time, find another opportunity."

The Fire Spirit Demon King's hoarse voice came from the light, "Your Majesty, we will find another opportunity to complete your command."

"Go!"

The five did not dare to disobey the Demon Emperor's order. Although they wanted to stay and roast in the fire a bit longer, they still left.

After they left, a faint voice came from the Demon Emperor's palace.

"The Fire God's flames, how did they reappear in his hands?"

"It seems that the poison in the Black Sky King's city also has the aura of the Poison God."

"Could it be that they are not dead?"

Even the Demon Emperor had to ponder this matter, unable to find the correct answer for a while.

The ancient Thunder Tower is the core of Shenxia Ancient City, and the Thunder Core is the heart of the ancient Thunder Tower.

In the ancient Thunder Tower, Lin Moyu saw some miraculous scenes through the Thunder Core.

In the deepest part of the Thunder Core, there was a record of how Shenxia Ancient City was built.

This piece of history had never been seen before and was completely different from the recorded history of the human race.

According to the Thunder Core's record, the location of Shenxia Ancient City was originally a wasteland inhabited by many monsters.

In the center of the monsters, Lin Moyu saw a BOSS.

Just by looking at its size, he knew it was a world-class BOSS, at least level 80 or above.

One day, a city appeared in the sky. The city wasn't large, and it fell from the sky, landing on the wasteland with a loud crash.

All the monsters on the wasteland were instantly killed, including the world-class BOSS.

The city was in ruins, with damage everywhere.

But this did not hinder its power.

Being able to instantly kill a world-class BOSS showed its strength.

After landing, the city quickly took root and began absorbing energy from the earth.

It used this energy to repair itself.

During this process, the city's size gradually shrank.

Then, the ancient Thunder Tower slowly rose from the center of the city.

The newly appeared ancient Thunder Tower was also damaged, almost shattered.

After a long time, both the ancient Thunder Tower and the city were fully repaired.

By then, the city's size had shrunk to a tenth of its original size, becoming what it is now.

During this process, the land was transformed.

It became the only city in the lower space.

After countless years of self-repair, the ancient city became more and more complete, accumulating vast amounts of energy.

A thousand years ago, the ancestors of Shenxia Kingdom arrived here, and this city became Shenxia Ancient City.

In fact, before the ancestors of Shenxia arrived, others had come.

But none of them could enter.

This is a piece of history buried in the past.

Lin Moyu was even more certain that there was a break in the history of the human race.

Something earth-shattering must have happened many years ago.

"A city so powerful could be damaged like this."

"Now, even in its incomplete form, it is so powerful. If it were in its complete form, fully operational, could it confront the Demon Emperor head-on?"

Lin Moyu had high expectations.

But with his current ability, he couldn't achieve that.

After watching this piece of history, Lin Moyu left the ancient Thunder Tower.

As soon as he came out, he saw Feng Xingjian and the other two.

"Greetings, seniors." Lin Moyu maintained a respectful attitude towards god-level experts.

God-level experts deserve respect.

Most god-level experts have fought their way through battles of ice and fire.

Lin Moyu was polite, and Feng Xingjian was equally courteous to Lin Moyu.

God-level experts and Divine Generals have equivalent status.

Especially when they saw the three-star Divine General badge on Lin Moyu's shoulder, their eyes narrowed.

Lin Moyu had killed the Flame Demon King because the Flame Demon King had recklessly entered the instance, suppressing most of its power.

But now, Lin Moyu was a three-star Divine General, meaning he had killed two more god-level experts since then.

This was intriguing.

It also showed that Lin Moyu indeed had the strength to confront god-level experts head-on.

The most terrifying thing was Lin Moyu's level.

At level 53, he already had such strength. What would his strength be when he reached the third transfer or even stepped into the god-level?

The three were shocked, their minds racing.

They became even more courteous to Lin Moyu.

They chatted with Lin Moyu for a while, very friendly, without any arrogance.

Until their time ran out, and they had to return to the deep space.

After they left, Feng Yiming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike Lin Moyu, he couldn't talk and laugh freely in front of three god-level experts.

The natural aura of god-level experts made him feel oppressed.

Feng Yiming whispered, "General Lin, although the demons failed this time, they will definitely come again. You must be careful."

Lin Moyu nodded, "I'll stay a few more days until the **[Primordial Rune]** fully integrates before leaving. Do you know where the Primordial Secret Realm is?"

Feng Yiming shook his head, "I'm not sure. I'll have someone find out."

"Thank you, Captain Feng."

In the following days, Lin Moyu stayed in the ancient city.

This is a magical city, and its current form is far from its true form.

It is not as recorded in history, built by the Shenxia Empire.

Its history predates the Shenxia Empire by far.

Lin Moyu wanted to see what the ancient city would look like if it fully restored its former glory.

He sat on the ground, feeling the pulse of the ancient city.

The ancient city continuously absorbed energy from the earth, accumulating it.

Even after more than a thousand years, there were still huge gaps.

Lin Moyu could feel from the Thunder Core that the ancient city still needed vast amounts of energy.

Gradually, his heartbeat slowed, merging with the pulse of the ancient city.

Thump, thump, thump!

The sound of the ancient city's heartbeat echoed in his mind.

He breathed and his heart beat in sync with the ancient city.

Beneath the ancient city, a vast and complex formation was slowly operating.

Then, a mark flew out from the formation and entered Lin Moyu's mental world.

From that moment, Lin Moyu felt a mysterious connection with the ancient city.

He knew he had gained the ancient city's recognition.

Just like a thousand years ago, when the ancestors of the Shenxia Empire arrived, they were allowed to enter after gaining the ancient city's recognition.

Although this recognition was still weak and preliminary, it brought him many benefits.

The first benefit was that he could instantly return to the ancient city from anywhere in the ancient battlefield.

He didn't need any items, whether in the deep space, upper space, or even in a secret realm. He could instantly return to the ancient city.

This provided great security.

With this recognition, Lin Moyu knew he was almost absolutely safe in the ancient battlefield.

A few days later, the light of the **[Primordial Rune]** gradually faded.

The ten-day trial period finally ended, and the **[Primordial Rune]** began to integrate.

Countless eyes in the ancient city watched the gradually disappearing red light, filled with envy.

But there was no jealousy. They all knew that Lin Moyu deserved this.

Lin Moyu's strength was well-known.

Lin Moyu watched the red light gather and disappear, and then a corresponding **[Primordial Rune]** appeared on the back of his right hand.

"It's the **[Zhe]** character."

**[Skill Acquired: Power Gathering]**

**[Power Gathering: Gather the power of a designated summoned creature, inherit all its skills, and merge some of its attributes. Duration: 5 minutes, Cooldown: 60 minutes.]**

After carefully reading the skill description of **[Power Gathering]**, Lin Moyu found it difficult to judge its strength.

But since it was a skill brought by the **[Primordial Rune]**, it must not be weak.

"Let's give it a try!"

With a thought, Lin Moyu spread his Lightning Undead Wings and quickly flew out of the ancient city.
