Chapter 134: Holy Necromantic Law God Electrolux! Gold of Life
Pitch-black buildings, a cold atmosphere, and heart-palpitating roars everywhere.
Lin Xuan walked through this eerie city with his hands in his pockets, strolling leisurely.
His pace was neither fast nor slow, as if he were not walking through a city of death surrounded by the undead, but rather taking a stroll in his own backyard garden.
On the streets on both sides, countless Skeleton Soldiers crawled out of the ruins, liches appeared in the windows, and Death Knights charged on horseback.
They hissed and roared, charging toward this human who dared to invade.
However, just as they were dozens of meters away from Lin Xuan, streaks of pitch-black shadows suddenly surged out from all directions!
Shadow Bone Dragons descended from the sky, tearing the leading Death Knights to pieces in one bite! Shadow Knights charged in formation, trampling those Skeleton Soldiers into powder!
Mahoraga's massive figure moved through the buildings; every time it struck, a swath of undead turned into nothingness!
The earth trembled, buildings collapsed, and rubble flew.
But none of this affected Lin Xuan in the slightest; he didn't even spare those undead a second glance, merely walking forward unhurriedly.
After advancing for several minutes, Lin Xuan finally reached the center of the city.
He stopped, looked up, and a towering, majestic black spire came into view.
The spire was entirely pitch-black, made of some unknown material, with eerie dark light flowing on its surface. Its tip pierced the clouds, casting a long shadow under the purple sun.
The spire's gates were tightly shut, and the surroundings were silent.
Those frenzied undead creatures all stopped in unison when they were still a hundred meters away from the spire.
They prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, as if there was an existence within that black spire that filled them with incomparable fear and awe.
"It seems that is where Electrolux is located..." A flicker of heat flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
Then he waved his hand, and the Shadow Bone Dragons, Shadow Knights, and Mahoraga all turned into shadows, returning to his feet.
Lin Xuan walked alone to the gate of the spire, reached out, and gave it a gentle push.
"Creak—"
The heavy doors slowly opened, and Lin Xuan stepped inside. As he entered, green lanterns lit up one after another.
The firelight was dim and eerie, illuminating the interior of the tower in flickering shadows.
Looking around, it was empty inside, devoid of everything—no decorations, no furniture, and no traces of any living existence.
Only at the far end was a throne that seemed to be made of obsidian.
Lin Xuan's gaze suddenly froze. He saw that no one was sitting on the throne; only a wisp of extremely dim grey aura floated there quietly.
That aura was so faint it seemed a gust of wind could blow it away, yet floating there, it gave off an indescribable sense of pressure.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. If he wasn't mistaken, that was Electrolux... It seemed he was too weak and had fallen into a deep sleep.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan walked to the front of the throne, reached out his right hand to touch that wisp of grey aura, and then activated the Reverse Cursed Technique.
Pure positive energy, turned into a soft radiance, slowly flowed from his palm and was injected into that wisp of grey aura.
The next moment, the wisp of grey aura trembled violently! In an instant, a massive, suffocating pressure descended from the sky!
That pressure was as vast as the sea and as deep as an abyss, as if a sleeping ancient Divinity was slowly awakening!
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he instantly retreated dozens of meters, back near the gate.
In any case, Electrolux was a peerless powerhouse with the title of "Holy Necromantic Law God." There was no telling what kind of madness he might unleash upon waking up and finding an intruder, so it was better to be cautious.
Under Lin Xuan's watchful gaze, the wisp of grey aura slowly rose into the air.
Then, it transformed into a very blurred figure. The figure was old and majestic, surrounded by a faint grey mist.
He looked down toward Lin Xuan, and then, an old voice with an indescribable majesty echoed within the tower.
"Holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars; there is no one like me in this World!"
"I didn't expect that before I completely dissipated, I would actually wait for a human!"
The powerhouse from another World, Electrolux! Formally awakened!
Inside the Spiritual Sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress, who had been unable to figure out what Lin Xuan was doing, were now completely dumbfounded.
The two stared with wide eyes, looking at that blurred figure in disbelief, feeling that terrifying pressure that was still heart-palpitating even though it was weakened to the extreme.
"This... this aura..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stammered, "What... what level of existence is this?!"
Ice Empress did not speak; she just stared fixedly at that figure, her eyes full of shock.
Even if she couldn't tell, Electrolux himself had said his soul was about to dissipate.
But even in such a flickering candle-like state, he could have such a terrifying aura! Then... how powerful must he have been in his prime?
But even in such a flickering candle-like state, he could have such a terrifying aura! Then... how powerful must he have been in his prime?
A Limit Douluo?
A Half-God?
Or... a true Divinity?!
Inside the tower, Lin Xuan looked at Electrolux's blurred figure and instead let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Electrolux's mind was still fairly clear.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, gave a respectful bow, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant,
"Junior Lin Xuan greets Senior. I accidentally discovered this World today and couldn't help but explore it. I encountered attacks from the undead and thus fought back, causing some destruction. I hope Senior can forgive me."
Hearing this, Electrolux laughed loudly. The laughter echoed in the empty tower, carrying an open-mindedness that had seen through the World.
"It's fine. After all, I open this Undead Semi-Plane twice a year specifically to attract you here."
He paused, pondered for a moment, and then asked softly, "Those little fellows I created... didn't cause a disaster for you all, did they?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan was first taken aback, then shook his head with a smile.
"Senior worries too much. If not for an accident, I might never have discovered this place in my life, and the same goes for others. Naturally, there is no talk of a disaster."
Electrolux then let out a sigh of relief. Although he was previously the fearsome Holy Necromantic Law God, before that, he was the Son of Light!
He once fell into darkness because of hatred, but he also returned to the light at the last moment. In the depths of his heart, the purest essence of the Son of Light had never left.
If it weren't to survive, he would never have opened the Undead Semi-Plane at specific times.
After all, once the undead army inside escaped, it would be a huge disaster for this World.
After saying that, the atmosphere fell into silence for a while. Electrolux and Lin Xuan stared at each other, neither speaking.
Electrolux was having a bit of a headache now. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely choose to quickly enter this human's Spiritual Sea.
After all, this was currently his only way to survive. But the problem was that since Lin Xuan could walk all the way here, he was naturally stronger than his undead creations.
In other words, he was a powerhouse.
How could a powerhouse feel at ease letting a strange and eerie existence enter his Spiritual Sea?
If a misunderstanding led to a fight, it would be a disaster.
Lin Xuan was also having a bit of a headache. However, his headache was why Electrolux hadn't taken the initiative to suggest entering his Spiritual Sea.
Just saying "you can come in"? That would be too abnormal. Even if he said it, Electrolux probably wouldn't feel at ease.
After thinking it over, Lin Xuan came up with a way. He bowed to Electrolux again and spoke,
"Senior, I once obtained a treasure, but I haven't been able to use it because of the dense, malevolent aura on it. Seeing that Senior has great divine powers, I wonder if Senior could lend a hand?"
He paused and continued, "Of course, after it's done, I am willing to give a part of this item to restore Senior's state. Furthermore, if Senior is willing, my Spiritual Sea can also serve as a place for Senior to stay."
Hearing this, Electrolux couldn't help but be stunned. What was this? Someone sending a pillow just as he was getting sleepy? And they even sent a bed?
If what Lin Xuan said was true, then his two major problems would be solved at once!
Electrolux feigned contemplation for a moment, then nodded.
"Little friend Lin, bring out that treasure and let me take a look."
Lin Xuan smiled and took out a wooden box from his spirit tool. Holding the box in both hands, he slowly opened the lid under Electrolux's gaze.
Inside the box, the spirit devouring engraving knife lay quietly on a piece of red velvet cloth.
It was about half a foot long, only as thick as a finger, narrowing from bottom to top in a standard engraving knife shape.
The tip was extremely sharp, as if it could slice through the void. Below was a handle about half an inch wide, entirely pitch-black and dull, with almost invisible strange patterns engraved on it, emitting a gloomy and dark aura.
But what truly moved Electrolux was not the shape of the engraving knife, but the life aura within it that was concentrated to the extreme.
"Gold of Life?!"
Electrolux's illusory figure visibly trembled. His eyes twitched, and he spoke with a face full of astonishment, his voice filled with disbelief.
Lin Xuan nodded with a smile and said in a humble tone, "Senior has a discerning eye. This item is indeed a piece of contaminated Gold of Life."
Electrolux didn't respond immediately. He stared at Lin Xuan's face—that of Gojo Satoru / Satoru Gojo—with a deep gaze, remaining silent for a long while.
The silence came so suddenly that Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback. He looked down at himself, then at the spirit devouring engraving knife in his hand, and then smiled.
So that's how it is... With a wave of his right hand, he took off the thousand-faced demonic visage from his face. After a flash of light, he revealed his true appearance.
Looking at him, Electrolux suddenly burst into laughter. He shook his head, his laughter carrying a bit of relief and a bit of sentiment.
"I wasn't silent just now because of this."
His tone became serious, and his illusory eyes stared intently at Lin Xuan.
"Little friend Lin, since you know this item is Gold of Life, then I don't need to tell you how terrifying its value is."
He paused and said word by word, "In that case, why would you be willing to give me a part? Furthermore, if you want me to recover, the amount of Gold of Life required is not small—at least three-fifths."
His gaze was like a torch, as if it could see through a person's heart.
"Even so, are you still willing to give it to me?"
Lin Xuan heard this and shook his head with a smile.
The smile was frank, without any concealment or affectation. He looked up, meeting Electrolux's eyes that seemed capable of piercing through everything, and said candidly,
"I'll tell you the truth, Senior. The reason I proposed using the Gold of Life to help you recover is because I hope to gain your help. After all..."
He smiled, "Even a blind man can see your mystery and power."
"We have all the genres of fantasy novels you like, welcome to visit."
"Because I've spent a lot of time with a certain friend, I've also grown somewhat fond of gambling."
He paused, his tone becoming even more candid, "I'm betting that you, Senior, are worth more than half of the Gold of Life. Therefore, you don't need to overthink it, Senior; this is just a fair trade."
"I will use the Gold of Life to help you, and you will help me. That's all, it's that simple."
Electrolux couldn't help but be stunned. He thought this young man would say some high-sounding rhetoric to establish his persona, such as being kind-hearted, helpful to others, or admiring his elders.
He had even prepared words to counter such hypocritical remarks, but he didn't expect... the other party would just state his true thoughts like that.
So frank, so straightforward, so unadorned—it left Electrolux silent for a moment. Then he smiled, and that smile was full of admiration.
"What a 'that's all there is to it,' so simple."
He nodded, light flickering within his illusory eyes.
"Young Friend Lin, this old man has lived for so long and seen countless people. Some are hypocritical, some are full of empty talk about benevolence and morality, and some act without restraint."
"But someone like you... this is the first time this old man has seen one."
Lin Xuan smiled. With a character like Electrolux who has lived long, possesses great strength, and has a good temperament, there's no point in telling lies. For them, sincerity is the ultimate trump card.
Electrolux smiled and continued, "This old man agrees to your deal. From now on, you and I shall share glory and loss together."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan nodded slightly; the heavy stone in his heart finally settled.
However, Electrolux shifted his tone, a hint of mischief entering his voice,
"Besides, actually, to help this old man recover and stabilize this wisp of divine consciousness, only one-fifth is needed. The reason I said three-fifths just now was simply to see how you would react."
He looked at Lin Xuan, his gaze candid, and laughed softly, "I hope Young Friend Lin doesn't take it to heart."
Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook his head.
"Naturally, I won't."
Thus, the two were now completely bound together.
Electrolux took a deep breath, then his gaze fell upon the spirit devouring engraving knife. In those illusory eyes, a trace of excitement couldn't help but flash at this moment.
"Good, then this old man will begin refining this Gold of Life!"
As Electrolux's voice fell, a gray ripple that seemed to represent death suddenly emerged in this space!
The ripple was silent, yet it carried an indescribable, heart-palpitating rhythm. It spread outward with Electrolux as the center, and wherever it passed, even the air seemed to freeze.
At the same time, a surge of gray Spiritual Power descended from the sky!
That Spiritual Power was as vast as the sea and as deep as an abyss. Although it was only a remnant wisp of Electrolux, it still carried a suffocating pressure!
The gray Spiritual Power landed on the spirit devouring engraving knife in an instant.
In an instant, that spirit devouring engraving knife seemed to come alive!
It struggled and trembled wildly, as if it had encountered its natural enemy! Thick cyan-black smoke erupted frantically from the blade, accompanied by bursts of ghost-wailing and wolf-howling sounds, shrill and desperate!
An illusory black face, twisted and hideous, suddenly burst out from the spirit devouring engraving knife!
That face was grotesque and terrifying, bleeding from its seven orifices, its eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness. It roared madly in the direction of Electrolux and lunged forward!
This was the Titled Douluo-level Evil Soul Master who had injected evil power and curses into the spirit devouring engraving knife, and whose soul was residing within it!
Unfortunately, in front of the Necromancer Holy Mage Electrolux, these tricks were like those of a child, incomparably weak.
Electrolux didn't even spare it a glance; he just gave a light hum, and the lunging hideous face suddenly froze in mid-air.
The cyan-black smoke wrapped around the spirit devouring engraving knife also completely dissipated at the same time.
The spirit devouring engraving knife began to change; it became purer and gentler. The gloomy and dark aura gradually faded, replaced by a luster as warm and moist as jade.
Eventually, the spirit devouring engraving knife transformed into a ball of cyan-green light.
That light was incomparably pure and gentle, radiating an aura that seemed to contain endless vitality.
The Gold of Life was now truly revealed to the World!
Electrolux said nothing more; he just silently controlled that incomparably pure Gold of Life.
The cyan-green light flowed in his palm, guided by his Spiritual Power, and slowly rose into mid-air. The ball of light began to deform and stretch, finally transforming into five thumb-sized, diamond-shaped gemstones.
Each piece was crystal clear, as if carved from the finest jade, with flowing light faintly rotating inside, emitting a rich aura of life.
Three of them flew directly in front of Lin Xuan, and they merged straight into his body!
The moment the Gold of Life entered his body, an indescribably massive vitality instantly flooded Lin Xuan's body and Spiritual Sea!
That power was as vast as the sea and continuous, like a spring breeze brushing over the earth, like sweet rain falling on parched fields!
His body, which had appeared somewhat exhausted from consecutive battles and absorbing a Soul Ring, was like a long drought meeting sweet rain at this moment, crazily absorbing this life energy!
That Spiritual Sea, which had been filled with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, was now completely covered by the cyan-green light of the Gold of Life!
The cyan-green light surged in like a tide, and wherever it passed, those cold, violent, and deathly auras were all suppressed into the dust.
At the same time, the entire Spiritual Sea was expanding outward at an astonishing speed!
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress stood dumbly in a corner of the Spiritual Sea, feeling this vast life force, their hearts filled with shock, unable to even speak.
Especially Tianmeng Ice Silkworm; he widened his eyes, feeling that life force in disbelief.
He discovered with horror that the life force he had accumulated over a million years was actually only one-tenth, or even less, of this life force!
Subsequently, a strong sense of crisis surged into Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's heart.
They only just met and he already gave such a big gift; if he stays for a few more days, wouldn't Brother be out of favor?!
Lin Xuan, unaware of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's little thoughts, was feeling the changes in his body. An unprecedented sense of comfort spread throughout his entire body.
That feeling welled up from every inch of his skin, every meridian, and every cell, converging into a warm current that flowed through his body.
The incomparably massive life energy was like a clear spring, washing every corner of his body from the outside in.
During this period, he had absorbed a large number of high-level Soul Bones and Soul Rings. Although his Soul Power improved quickly, it was inevitable that such rapid improvement made his Soul Power somewhat unstable.
An unstable foundation was the price of rapid improvement, but under the scouring of that massive life energy, those unstable Soul Powers were all solidified! The hidden injuries accumulated over many years were also completely repaired!
Moreover, although the Gold of Life had no direct boosting effect on Soul Power, its impact on the origin of life was extremely profound.
It was a change that nourished things silently, which would slowly manifest as his cultivation gradually deepened.
After a long time, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and carefully felt his current body.
His body radiated vigorous vitality, like the rising morning sun, exuberant and intense. Although it couldn't compare to the Reverse Cursed Technique in terms of purity, the sheer volume was undeniable!
He could be certain that now, by the time he reached level sixty, he would be fully capable of absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring relying on his own physical strength!
Regaining his focus, Lin Xuan looked at Electrolux on the side and saw that Electrolux's body had become much more solid, and his aura was much stronger.
That figure, which had originally been so blurry it could dissipate at any moment, now had a clear outline. Although still transparent and illusory, at least it no longer looked like a candle in the wind.
It seemed he had also absorbed a portion of the Gold of Life.
Electrolux noticed his gaze, waved his hand, and that last diamond-shaped, gemstone-like piece of Gold of Life floated in front of Lin Xuan.
"Here," Electrolux's voice was still old, but much more forceful than before.
"This is the remaining portion of the Gold of Life. You can keep it for an emergency."
Lin Xuan took it and stored it in his spirit tool.
Subsequently, Electrolux looked around, his gaze falling on the empty black spire and the desolate World outside the door shrouded by a purple sun.
He smiled slightly, that smile carrying a bit of emotion and a bit of relief.
"This place is the Undead Semi-Plane that this old man created using necromancy; consider it a welcoming gift from this old man to you."
"Oh right, this old man is named Electrolux. In my World, humans call me the Necromancer Holy Mage, Scourge of the Undead. From now on, you can call me Old Electrolux."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan bowed slightly and performed a salute.
"Yes, Old Electrolux."
Electrolux smiled and nodded, a trace of gratification flashing in his eyes.
This child knows when to advance and retreat, understands etiquette, has a steady temperament, exceptional talent, and great strength; he is indeed a good person to entrust with things.
"Are you leaving here now, or in a while?"
Lin Xuan thought for a moment, turned around, and also looked at the vast World outside the door.
The purple sun hung on the horizon, dyeing the entire land in an eerie color. In the distance, in that black city, countless undead creatures were wandering, roaring, and fighting.
"In a while," Lin Xuan said softly. He had just created numerous Shikigami using his fourth Soul skills, and fully digesting it was not an easy task.
Electrolux nodded without asking further. He took one last look at Lin Xuan, and his illusory figure flashed slightly.
The next moment, he turned into a gray light and went straight into the center of Lin Xuan's eyebrows.
Inside the Spiritual Sea, a gray light flashed, and Electrolux's figure appeared.
He steadied himself, looked around, and then was suddenly stunned.
What met his eyes was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
A dark red sea of blood flowed beneath his feet, countless white bones were piled up on the ground, and above his head, a giant spinal skeleton formed a dome.
That scene was even more eerie than the Undead Semi-Plane created by him, the Necromancer Holy Mage.
The corner of Electrolux's eye twitched slightly. This child... he looks like a perfectly normal person, so why is his Spiritual Sea more like an undead World than my own undead World?
He shifted his gaze to continue looking, and then was stunned again.
Not far away, a huge ice crystal was floating in mid-air. On top of the ice crystal, a stunning woman was sitting cross-legged, her whole body radiating a heart-palpitating chill.
The woman noticed his gaze, opened her eyes, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then shifted her gaze away.
Electrolux: "..."
He looked to the other side, and a silkworm baby was curled up in the corner, staring with a pair of small eyes, its gaze resentful, watching him with vigilance.
Electrolux: "???"
After a while, he couldn't help but sigh, doubting in his heart whether his decision was the right one.
