Antares stared blankly at the eight-star law art.

In the past, whenever he encountered something extraordinary, a flicker of surprise would appear in his eyes.

But this time, he seemed almost numb.

Lin Moyu asked curiously, “Have you never seen an eight-star law art before?”

“Never!” Antares answered instinctively.

Clearly, eight-star law art was unimaginably rare, rare enough that even Antares had never witnessed one.

If I can bring over Summon Skeletal King as well, wouldn’t it become a nine-star law art?

Aside from the mythical ten-star law art, nine-star law art stood at the pinnacle.

He still had a chance.

Antares seemed to realize the same thing and spoke gravely, “One day, you must create a nine-star law art.”

“It’s said nine-star law art possesses unimaginable power and can trigger wondrous phenomena.”

“Unfortunately, I’ve never seen one myself.”

Lin Moyu smiled, “When I create a nine-star law art, I’ll let you witness it.”

How could he refuse such a simple request?

Creating a nine-star law art was not optional. It was a necessary step on his path to becoming a true powerhouse.

Sensing his remaining soul force, he estimated, based on past experience, that it was just enough to transport a skill star core.

Only a single, lonely skill star core remained in the skill space, making the vast expanse feel desolate.

All of the skill space’s binding force was now concentrated on this final skill star core.

But this time, Lin Moyu’s soul force was not as abundant.

When his soul force condensed into a giant hand and seized the skill star core, a brutal contest of strength began.

Lin Moyu had dragged out skill star core after skill star core, and after suffering these indignities time and again, the skill space finally erupted with all its might at once.

The two forces struggled against each other, neither yielding.

Most of Lin Moyu’s soul force was already sustaining his soul world and the many law art stars, leaving little to spare.

The skill star core moved at a torturous pace, inching forward bit by bit.

Yet Lin Moyu showed his usual ruthless determination, straining against the skill star core with everything he had.

Speed didn’t matter.

As long as it moved, Lin Moyu would keep going.

He could have chosen the easier path: leveling up once more and coming back later.

It would have been effortless then.

But Lin Moyu had other plans. He still needed to deal with the talent world, and he had to leave himself enough room to maneuver.

After two full days of relentless struggle, the final skill star core was finally pulled free.

The moment it left, the skill space collapsed with a loud bang.

Lin Moyu’s body trembled violently. The collapsed skill space erupted into a torrent of energy that surged through his body and poured into his soul world.

The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal let out a resonant roar and inhaled deeply, swallowing the incoming energy in one gulp.

After several breaths, it exhaled an immense stream of purified soul force.

Lin Moyu felt as though his soul had consumed a divine elixir, and his soul force skyrocketed.

His soul rank smashed through the level 95 barrier in an instant, surging not only into level 95, but also advancing a considerable distance toward level 96.

Lin Moyu was startled at first, but quickly understood.

The skill space had always belonged to him. Like the soul world, its foundation had also been his soul force.

That was why only his soul force could enter it, while others could not.

The skill space was even more ethereal and illusory than the soul world.

Every time he moved a skill star core, he had been wrestling against his own soul force.

Now that all the skill star cores were gone, the skill space had lost its reason to exist.

So it collapsed, returning its soul force to its source.

After being refined by the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal, it ultimately pushed his soul rank into breakthrough.

Lin Moyu dragged the final skill star core into his soul world and began pouring soul force into it.

But the moment his soul force entered, he felt something was wrong.

“There’s something strange about this skill star core…”

The sensation was completely different from before.

As his soul power force, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, vanishing without a trace.

The skill star core brightened slightly, but only by a fraction.

Even after exhausting all his soul force, it was barely 10% lit.

Antares noticed as well, his expression turning solemn.

“This skill of yours… it must be extraordinarily powerful.”

“The stronger a skill is, the more soul force it requires.”

Lin Moyu nodded, “My previous skills differed in strength, but the gap was never too great.”

“But this time… This is completely different.”

As the final skill Lin Moyu had mastered, Infinite Fusion seemed to embody limitless possibilities.

Its true power was beyond estimation.

Antares remarked, “For anyone else, it would be impossible for this skill star core to evolve into a star-grade law art. But for you…”

With a strange laugh, Antares struck him with a slap.

Their willing cooperation began once more—Antares attacking, Lin Moyu dying.

Again and again, the Comprehensive Rebirth talent was triggered.

Slowly, the skill star core of Infinite Fusion ignited, and Lin Moyu’s excitement grew.

He wanted to witness just how powerful it would become after transforming into a law art star.

There was no doubt that it would be a heaven-defying law art.

As he attacked, Antares said, “I’ve never heard of a skill this powerful. I really don’t understand your class—how can it possess a skill of this caliber?”

“You really are a freak.”

Lin Moyu smiled, “Then a freak I am. Call me what you like.”

After more than ten rounds, enough that even Antares began to tire, the skill star core finally transformed into a cluster of fire.

A special skill star core produced special flames.

Gold, purple, silver, white, blue, red… all kinds of colors surged and intertwined, weaving into a hue beyond description.

It was mesmerizing.

Even Antares seemed captivated, “Truly extraordinary.”

Lin Moyu nodded. It was extraordinary.

Boom!

The fire erupted, and multicolored light swept through the entire soul world.

Every law art star and law art planet was dyed in multicolored brilliance.

At that moment, it seemed all law art stars had formed a connection with it.

Then a tiny black dot appeared within the eruption.

This time, it did not vanish in half a second. It endured for ten full seconds.

Ten seconds was no brief span. To Lin Moyu, it felt long. To Antares, even more so.

Antares stared in a daze, as though witnessing something beyond comprehension.

And within those ten seconds, Lin Moyu finally saw something different.

The tiny black dot expanded infinitely in his vision, becoming boundlessly profound.

Then he saw it… a rune.

A rune shimmering with purple light.

It was incomprehensibly complex, yet deceptively simple, as though it embodied every ultimate truth of the world.

Lofty and supreme, it stood above all things.

The moment he saw it, Lin Moyu recognized it: a greater world rune.

The very greater world rune pursued by all unequaled powerhouses.

To master it was to hold the entire greater world in the palm of one’s hand.

From it, he saw countless runes branch out, each one representing a law, a manifestation of irresistible, majestic power.

Even the greater world rune within his own body was merely a fragment split from it.

He caught only a single glimpse before the vision shattered.

A colossal force expelled his consciousness.

Pain lanced through his soul, so intense that even Lin Moyu couldn’t help but scream.

His soul collapsed.
