Chapter 334: The Desolate Voidland; Unkillable and Uninjurable Desolate Beasts
Bai Yiyuan had chosen the Desolate Voidland as the ideal place for Lin Moyu's class awakening. This vast, primordial expanse was said to be the birthplace of class user power, where all elements, including the rare dark element of the Abyss, converged in abundance.
However, the Desolate Voidland was not without its dangers. It was home to creatures known as Desolate Beasts, notorious for their strength. During class awakenings, there was a high likelihood that Desolate Beasts would appear.
Bai Yiyuan assured him, "Focus on your class awakening. Leave the rest to me."
Lin Moyu nodded, trusting that Bai Yiyuan had a plan for any threats that might emerge.
"Open!" Bai Yiyuan shouted, pointing forward.
With his command, a radiance burst, and it was as if a veil had been lifted from the world. A shimmering ice barrier melted away, revealing a hidden, intricate class awakening formation. It was far more complex than the one Lin Moyu had seen during his first awakening. The formation was comprised of countless lines, weaving together to form intricate patterns, with Magic Crystals positioned at each node.
At the most critical nodes, Lin Moyu recognized two Blackened Soul Crystals. He also spotted Mermaid’s Tears and other treasures, some so rare that even Lin Moyu couldn't identify them. Each item was clearly invaluable.
Bai Yiyuan had spent a long time preparing for this moment, exhausting a years' worth of savings. The cost of the Magic Crystals alone was staggering, and the sheer complexity of the class awakening formation was far beyond what any ordinary person could create.
Lin Moyu estimated that only a top-level Formation Master could have designed something so intricate. Just looking at it made him feel lightheaded.
"Don't stare at it." Bai Yiyuan warned, "This formation was drawn by a god-level Formation Master. It's beyond your current ability to comprehend."Lin Moyu was stunned to learn that a god-level Formation Master had crafted the intricate formation for his class awakening. Only someone with Bai Yiyuan’s influence could convince such a powerful figure to take on such a task.
"Stand in the center of the formation. I’m going to activate it now." Bai Yiyuan instructed, "Once it’s activated, focus entirely on your class awakening. Leave everything else to me."
Lin Moyu nodded, then stepped into the formation and sent down at its center.
Bai Yiyuan whispered a command, releasing an overwhelming surge of energy. The previously quiet formation sprang to life, glowing with intense brilliance. Beams of light shot up from the nodes, intertwining to form a glowing net above him. A massive surge of elemental energy gathered from all directions and then entered the formation, flowed through its nodes—passed through the Magic Crystals—and ultimately converged on Lin Moyu.
The class awakening had officially begun.
Immense power surged through the formation, flooding Lin Moyu’s body. He grunted as his attributes began to rise again. With the continuous torrent of energy pouring in, he was on the verge of surpassing his limit, ascending to a new stage, and embarking on a new phase of growth. His base attributes before the class awakening served as the foundation upon which he would climb—the stronger they were at level 39, the higher he could climb.
Since this was the case, Lin Moyu wanted to push his base attributes even higher, to turn what others considered an endpoint into his starting point. With this fierce ambition, he took out the Bloodthirsty Python heart meat at the very start of the class awakening and consumed it without hesitation.
Boom!
His body convulsed violently as an overwhelming amount of power surged into him from the outside. At the same time, an equally terrifying force erupted within him. The two forces collided, threatening to tear him apart.
Lin Moyu groaned, blood bursting from his skin as his body struggled to contain the overwhelming forces battling within him.
Bai Yiyuan's eyes narrowed as he watched. Now that the class awakening had begun, it was entirely up to Lin Moyu.
The Bloodthirsty Python heart meat was extraordinarily potent. After all, it came from a god-level monster and was harvested from around its heart. If Lin Moyu could fully absorb its power, his attributes could increase by 20,000 each. But absorbing such a massive amount of power was far from easy, and the process brought excruciating pain.
Inside Lin Moyu’s body, the elemental energy from the formation and the ferocious energy of the Bloodthirsty Python heart meat continued to collide. The sheer force of their battle threatened to destroy his body.
"It hurts! It hurts so much!" Lin Moyu screamed in his mind, consumed by the unbearable pain.
Despite the blood covering his body, Lin Moyu made a surprising discovery: he wasn't actually injured. Though it looked scary, with blood bursting from his skin, but the wounds were superficial, if they could even be called wounds at all. Nearly all the damage—99.9%—was being absorbed by his undead troops. Aside from the agonizing pain, his body remained intact.
Meanwhile, the formation continued to intensify. The energy flowing into it grew more powerful with each passing moment. Under the dual impact of the formation’s energy and the Bloodthirsty Python heart meat, Lin Moyu finally broke through his limit. His attributes surged wildly, climbing to new heights.
In the Desolate Voidland, where Lin Moyu was undergoing his class awakening, the surrounding thousand kilometers trembled under the disturbance. In the distance, beast roars echoed through the air.
Bai Yiyuan sneered, and a pair of fist wraps appeared on his hands. "So, they’ve finally shown up!" He called out, his eyes glowing with fighting spirit, "Old Meng, take care of Moyu!"
Suddenly, a towering structure appeared above the formation—the Shenxia Tower. This was no mere projection; it was the main body, manifesting its majestic form. Its brilliant light enveloped Lin Moyu, surrounding him in a protective aura.
With the tower's protection in place, Bai Yiyuan felt entirely at ease.
Within moments, a Desolate Beast closed in. The beast resembled a strange cross between a tiger and a deer, with thick, shaggy fur and a long, whip-like tail. It flew through the air with incredible speed, driven by the powerful energy radiating from Lin Moyu’s awakening ceremony.
"Get lost!" Bai Yiyuan roared as he leaped into the air, his fists slamming into the Desolate Beast's abdomen with the force of cannon fire, knocking the beast away.
Yet, within moments, more Desolate Beasts appeared. This time, it wasn’t just one but five, rushing in from another direction. And to Bai Yiyuan's annoyance, the beast he had just knocked away had already returned, completely unharmed, as if his attack had left no mark at all. Its strength was terrifying, showing why these creatures were so feared.
Their Desolate Beasts' eyes gleamed with murderous intent, focusing on Bai Yiyuan, recognizing him as their primary target. These beasts, though lacking in intelligence, followed one simple rule: attack anyone who strikes at them.
Bai Yiyuan laughed loudly, "Come at me!"
This was exactly what he wanted—to lure all the Desolate Beasts away from Lin Moyu and keep them focused on himself. Bai Yiyuan knew from experience that the beasts were unkillable, so his only goal was to buy time, to hold them off until Lin Moyu completed his class awakening.
His fists moved like streaks of lightning, striking hundreds of times per second. Each punch landed squarely on the beasts, sending them flying backward. But within seconds, the Desolate Beasts returned, relentless in their assault.
The air was filled with the roars of beasts, as more and more Desolate Beasts were drawn to the ever-growing surge of power radiating from Lin Moyu’s class awakening ceremony.
Bai Yiyuan fought fiercely, blocking every beast with relentless fury. His punches thundered across the Desolate Voidland, their sheer force shaking the very landscape. Yet despite the power behind his strikes, he could only hurl the Desolate Beasts away, unable to kill or even wound them.
Soon, more than 20 beasts had surrounded him, pressing in from all sides. At this moment, Bai Yiyuan’s combat prowess were fully unleashed. He used a series of powerful skills, continuously pushing the beasts back.
Suddenly, his ears twitched as a strange cry echoed in the distance. His expression darkened instantly, "Damn it, why did a Desolate Beast Lord show up here?"
A particularly massive Desolate Beast appeared in his line of sight, dwarfing the others in size and presence. It roared repeatedly, and in response, the other beasts erupted with glowing rings of light.
The effect was immediate. The Desolate Beasts went into a frenzy, their strength and speed increasing dramatically. The pressure on Bai Yiyuan doubled in an instant.
The Desolate Beast Lord was like a support class user among humans, amplifying the combat abilities of its kin. It not only applied powerful status buffs to the Desolate Beasts, but also possessed a certain degree of intelligence. Under its influence, the Desolate Beasts’ combat power surged.
Even more frustrating was their unkillable nature, and even Bai Yiyuan couldn’t harm them.
The Desolate Voidland was a mysterious, largely unexplored place. No one knew its full scope. All that was known was that it was home to indestructible Desolate Beasts, along with a vast array of elements.
As more beasts joined the fray, the pressure on him mounted, pushing him closer to his limit. The Desolate Beast Lord’s relentless roars summoned even more of its kind.
Bai Yiyuan's voice rang out, "Old Meng!"
In response, the Shenxia Tower’s light intensified, and the massive tower began to rotate, sending out waves of energy that knocked the Desolate Beasts back. Even the Shenxia Tower couldn’t harm them—it could only push them away temporarily, buying Bai Yiyuan a moment to catch his breath
Just then, the world brightened as a thousand-meter-long blade ray tore through the air, carrying a terrifying murderous aura.
