Antares let out a roar, a roar filled with dread.

He had never expected the greater world rune to awaken so suddenly.

But dread did not stop him from acting.

Countless specks of light ignited within Lin Moyu’s body. Each speck transformed into the shape of a Divine Dragon, spreading across his body. They linked together, weaving an enormous web.

All of it had been prepared by Antares.

During the time he had worked alongside Lin Moyu, Antares had secretly laid down these measures precisely for a moment like this.

The enormous web was forged from Antares’s power, infused with profound law. Its purpose was not to stop the curse of the greater world rune. Antares knew that was impossible.

He only needed to delay it.

Antares understood his limits better than anyone. He knew just how terrifying greater world runes truly were.

Within the Dragon Race, countless legends surrounded it, each more mysterious than the last.

Many unequaled Dragon powerhouses had vanished while seeking greater world runes.

Antares had never wished to come into contact with greater world runes. But for Lin Moyu… he was willing to go all out.

Since stopping it was impossible, he would buy time, no matter how little, for Lin Moyu.

A vast force carrying law surged forward, forming a thick defense before the greater world rune.

From the rune seeped an unimaginable curse power, and the two forces collided.

Antares’s defensive web shattered instantly. It collapsed as easily as tofu.

For the first time, Antares truly witnessed the power of the greater world rune.

This was the most primordial power of the greater world, the power that countless beings dreamed of wielding.

And now he had finally come into contact with it. Unfortunately, he was meeting it as an enemy. He didn’t know whether to feel fortunate or tragic. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Antares groaned repeatedly.

The defensive web had been formed from his soul force infused with law. When it collapsed, the backlash rippled through his soul.

It wasn’t enough to injure him, but it still felt terrible.

Madness flashed through Antares’s eyes, “I refuse to believe this! No matter how powerful you are… are you saying I can’t even slow you down?!”

Antares roared again and again, and a torrent of soul force erupted.

Nearly half of his total soul force was unleashed. At Antares’s level, half his power was many times greater than Lin Moyu’s entire reserve.

And thanks to the Comprehensive Rebirth talent, Antares had no need to worry about Lin Moyu’s safety.

His soul force, carrying terrifying law, surged forward like a vast army.

Like a needle striking a whetstone, it collided directly with the greater world rune.

Antares was never a master of defense. His strength had always been offense.

The soul wrapped in law transformed into countless weapons, launching a relentless assault against the greater world rune’s curse power.

The moment the two forces clashed, immense power exploded outward in all directions.

Muffled sounds erupted from inside Lin Moyu’s body as the terrifying forces tore through him.

The undead army was annihilated instantly.

Antares’s power collapsed the moment it made contact. The greater world rune’s curse power was like an invincible spear, piercing straight through Antares’s assault.

Yet at this moment, Antares felt no fear. Instead, he became even more crazed, laughing wildly, “Hahaha! I still slowed you down, even if only a little! So you’re not invincible after all!”

Although the clash had ended in total defeat, Antares had still forced the greater world rune to pause briefly.

Even though the pause lasted less than 0.1 seconds, Antares had felt it clearly.

If he could stall it for 0.1 seconds, then maybe 0.2 seconds, 0.3 seconds, or even longer was possible.

Laughing wildly, Antares once again drove his power forward.

Inside Lin Moyu’s body, invisible forces turned his flesh into a battlefield.

At that moment, Lin Moyu was completely oblivious to everything outside his skill space.

All of his focus was devoted to activating the three skill star cores.

Activating three star cores simultaneously placed immense pressure on him, but he had no choice. He had no time to waste.

Fortunately, he had prepared well. His soul force was abundant.

The three skill star cores grew brighter and brighter, gradually blooming with dazzling light.

At this pace, full activation would not take long.

Law force surged in from outside, pouring into the skill space and merging with the skill star cores.

The skill star cores began to gain vitality.

The influx of law force intensified, stronger than ever before.

Lin Moyu knew these three skills were bound to be extraordinary.

Otherwise, the greater world rune would never have tried to stop him.

Still, he had no idea what form his level 80 skills would take.

The thought filled him with anticipation.

Law of heaven and earth continued to pour in, accompanied by an endless flow of soul force.

The Dragon Soul Crystals were consumed one after another.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu sensed his soul avatar reconnect with his soul main body.

“No!”

Alarm shot through him. Somehow, his soul main body had awakened.

If his soul main body woke up, the greater world rune would awaken as well.

He was running out of time.

With a low shout, Lin Moyu forced even more soul force into the skill star cores, accelerating the activation with desperate urgency.

Meanwhile outside, Antares was clashing with the greater world rune again and again.

He had fallen into a battle frenzy. Terrifying energy swept across the Immemorial Battlefield, spreading into the lower layer and even partially into the deep layer.

From the deep layer came a furious roar filled with bloodlust.

At that moment, the monsters and bosses in both the upper layer and the lower layer trembled in fear.

Monsters that had been fighting humans suddenly shrank back, not daring to move.

Human class users, along with Dragonkind and Demons, felt an overwhelming force descend upon them.

The air thickened until every breath felt heavy.

The mist surrounding Antares churned violently, revealing his colossal Dragon form.

His body, more than 10,000 meters long, coiled across the land, his scales bristling.

Above his head, a vortex formed, linking directly to the deep layer. From within came thunderous roars.

Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, as if some terrifying existence were about to emerge.

“Shut up!” Antares bellowed, “This is none of your business, you insect!”

Two beams of golden light shot from his eyes, instantly shattering the vortex.

As the vortex collapsed, a miserable cry echoed from within.

Antares sneered with contempt, “You think you can interfere in my business? Trash should know its place.”

“Come! Let’s fight for another 300 rounds!”

With a thunderous roar and surging battle intent, he charged once more into Lin Moyu’s soul world.

The greater world rune’s curse power continued to press forward relentlessly. Antares could only delay it—he could not stop it.

Even fighting with everything he had, he had only managed to stall for less than a second.

Just as the curse power was about to breach the skill space, a streak of purple light suddenly shot out from the depths.

It moved with astonishing speed, piercing straight into Lin Moyu’s soul and striking the greater world rune with precision.

The greater world rune trembled violently. Then, with a sudden boom, it broke out with flames.

The curse power, already at the entrance of the skill space, froze instantly.

The greater world rune shimmered, its light suppressing the fire until the flames were extinguished.

Another second passed.

That spark had achieved more than all of Antares’s efforts combined.

A strange aura began to rise from Lin Moyu’s body, and an unfamiliar radiance spread from his soul.

Antares was the first to sense it. He burst into laughter, “It’s done! It’s done!”

“I won! It seems the greater world rune isn’t all-powerful after all!”
