“Hold on a little longer.”

Zhuo Ling heard the voice loud and clear.

It was as though a ray of light had pierced the darkness of despair, bringing with it a glimmer of hope.

Amid the sound of Dragon roars, he saw countless skeletal Dragons wreathed in silver-white flames flying in from the starry sky.

They tore through the Starlight Mist Spirits, reducing them to fragments.

Brilliant specks of starlight filled the starry sky—the remnants of the slain Starlight Mist Spirits.

The Death Dragon Knights had carved out a path leading out of the star system.

“Saved!” Zhuo Ling breathed a long sigh of relief.

He turned toward Lin Moyu, who stood next to the star. Although Lin Moyu had triggered the Starlight Mist Spirit riot, he was also the one who had saved him.

Zhuo Ling harbored no resentment toward Lin Moyu.

After all, Lin Moyu had saved his life.

He even bowed in Lin Moyu’s direction to express his gratitude.

“Leave first.” Lin Moyu’s voice rang out unhurriedly.

“Understood!”

Without hesitation, Zhuo Ling retreated along the path the Death Dragon Knights had cleared.

The same scene played out repeatedly across the starry sky.

Although Lin Moyu had triggered the Starlight Mist Spirit riot and placed several people in danger, he had made amends by ensuring that no one died because of his actions.

Those who had initially blamed him began to change their minds after witnessing what he did.

A group of people gathered outside the star system, watching the battle unfold.

“It seems he didn’t do it on purpose.”

“He must be a newcomer who isn’t familiar with the situation here.”

“Of course he’s a newcomer. Just look at him. He’s only at the 3rd tier Transcendent God realm.”

“A 3rd tier Transcendent God with level 3 authority, yet possessing strength comparable to an 8th tier Transcendent God? This guy is incredible.”

“Comparable to an 8th tier Transcendent God? He’s beyond that! Look at how effortlessly he’s dealing with so many Starlight Mist Spirits. Even if all of us went in together, we might not be able to accomplish what he’s doing.”

“And he still has enough power left to save others. What kind of law arts are those? How can he summon so many creatures, each one so powerful?”

“They’re at least star-grade law arts, and quite possibly multiple-star law arts.”

The crowd discussed animatedly, finding Lin Moyu increasingly mysterious.

In the past, there had been others who raised their authority to level 3 while still at the 3rd tier Transcendent God realm.

The results had been disastrous. They had been left dumbfounded, completely incapable of completing level 3 missions, and had no choice but to return and quietly comprehend law while raising their cultivation realm.

The missions they had accepted ended in failure, earning them penalties instead of rewards—a complete loss.

Everyone had assumed Lin Moyu would meet the same fate.

Instead, he shattered all their expectations.

Despite being only at the 3rd tier Transcendent God realm, Lin Moyu was slaughtering his way through the swarm of Starlight Mist Spirits.

Brilliant motes of starlight erupted continuously across the starry sky as the Starlight Mist Spirits were slain.

The more perceptive members of the crowd realized that a formidable genius had emerged within the human race.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Moyu continued his rampage beside the star.

The Starlight Mist Spirits’ attack power was too weak to pose any real threat to the undead army.

Their only advantage was their sheer numbers, which vastly outnumbered his undead.

His 360,000 Skeletal Divine Generals and 50,000 Death Dragon Knights were fighting at full strength, yet the Starlight Mist Spirits seemed to multiply faster than they could be killed.

The 8th tier Transcendent God realm leader-level Starlight Mist Spirits began appearing in large numbers.

These creatures possessed tremendous life force and were extremely difficult to eliminate.

Lin Moyu knew very well that his undead army had reached its current limit. They could barely grind down 8th tier Transcendent Gods, but against a 9th tier Transcendent God, they were completely helpless.

Faced with this reality, Lin Moyu could only sigh helplessly.

His realm was simply too low.

If his strength were even one or two tiers higher, the situation would be completely different.

There was another problem as well.

The Starlight Mist Spirit left no corpses behind when they died, leaving Lin Moyu unable to use Corpse Explosion.

Otherwise, no matter how many Starlight Mist Spirits appeared, they would simply be handing themselves over to him on a silver platter.

As more and more 8th tier Transcendent God realm Starlight Mist Spirits swarmed toward him, Lin Moyu’s killing speed continued to slow.

Suddenly, the star before him began to tremble violently.

A dazzling beam of starlight erupted from the star, illuminating the entire star system.

From within that brilliant radiance, a gigantic Starlight Mist Spirit emerged.

This Starlight Mist Spirit was completely different from the others.

The 8th tier Transcendent God realm Starlight Mist Spirits were only 5,000 to 10,000 meters long.

But this Starlight Mist Spirit stretched for more than 1,000 kilometers, its enormous body comparable to an asteroid.

Streams of vibrant, multicolored light flowed across its body like a surreal dream.

When it fully unfurled, it blotted out the stars and filled the entire starry sky.

Countless thread-like beams of light shot outward like falling stars, striking the undead below.

Law and starlight intertwined and erupted with astonishing destructive power.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Skeletal Divine Generals and Death Dragon Knights exploded one after another.

Lin Moyu’s heart skipped a beat, “This attack power... It’s a True God!”

He immediately cast Detection.

[Starlight Mist Spirit King]

[Realm: True God]

[Trait: a special lifeform formed from conflicting and intertwined starlight laws. As a True God realm Starlight Mist Spirit King, its life force is immensely powerful, and its attack power is no longer weak.]

Weak attack power had always been the Starlight Mist Spirits’ greatest flaw.

But after advancing to the True God realm, that weakness had been completely erased.

Lin Moyu had never expected a True God realm Starlight Mist Spirit King to be hidden inside the star.

A True God was an opponent he had absolutely no chance of defeating right now.

Even if the Starlight Mist Spirit King couldn’t kill him, Lin Moyu had no way to harm it either.

Its attacks far exceeded the threshold his undead could endure, easily capable of killing them instantly.

Fortunately, his undead army was enormous, and each undead had six chances to resurrect.

With careful micro-management and a rotating formation to take the attacks, it would be nearly impossible for them to be wiped out permanently.

Lin Moyu could already foresee the outcome. Even if he fought the Starlight Mist Spirit King for a year, there would be no conclusion.

The attacks of his Skeletal Divine Generals merely left negligible wounds on its body, which healed almost instantly.

If that was the case, what was the point of fighting?

Lin Moyu turned and prepared to leave.

However, the Starlight Mist Spirit King clearly had no intention of letting him go.

Its enormous body suddenly curled into a gigantic sphere, trapping Lin Moyu and his entire undead army inside.

“This isn’t fun at all!” Lin Moyu thought as he analyzed his options for breaking through the trap.

He only needed to tear open a single gap to escape to safety.

The mission had a time limit of only ten days. He had to return within that window, or the mission would be deemed a failure.

He already had more than ten thousand Starlight Cores in his possession. Failing the mission under such circumstances would be a bitter pill to swallow.

“What should I do?” Lin Moyu pondered, but no solution came to mind.

“If I’d known this would happen, I should have bought a True God realm corpse to keep in reserve.”

The Trading Center had everything. He had seen the corpses of Transcendent God realm creatures for sale before, so there would naturally be True God realm corpses as well.

Others bought them to forge items, refine pills, or create puppets—but he could use them for Corpse Explosion.

“I’ve still been in the greater world for too short a time. My experience is lacking.” Lin Moyu sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, a beam of sword light streaked in from the distance, slicing through the Starlight Mist Spirit King’s body.

A soul-rending shriek echoed through the soace.

The Starlight Mist Spirit King’s massive form was cleaved cleanly in two.

Then, a deep, resonant voice rang out, “I’ve been waiting for you for years. You’ve finally come out!”
