204: Execution

“Due to the aura of death surrounding you, you will not die and will not feel pain.”

Lin Mo: ??????

Aura of death?

Could it be the death qi he absorbed from spending too much time with the Ghost Servant?

Or was it because King Yama sealed him as a ghost messenger, so he was no longer considered a living person, and thus filled with death qi?

Or was it because he spent too much time with the Undead Princess, and absorbed her aura?

Perhaps it was a combination of all three.

However, there was no time to ponder it now.

Lin Mo began to search his Sea of Consciousness.

If the Ghost Servant couldn't be summoned, perhaps other things were fine.

Unfortunately, after searching around, he couldn't find anything he could use.

Or rather, the powerful pressure was so overwhelming that he couldn't even open his Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, five or six Cryptic Beings in black hooded robes, holding giant axes, chains, and spikes, walked over with their heads bowed.

Aside from the sparks from their weapons scraping the ground and the sound of a dinosaur carrying a wolf, their footsteps were completely silent.

“The Executioner”

“Realm: Lord of the Styx”

“Description: The most elite executioners under the Lord of Mysteries. All races fortunate enough to reach the high-level battlefield will be executed by them.”

“Are you going to kill me?”

The Executioners walked over without much preamble, raising their great axes... -999,900,000,000,000! Critical hit! Fatal blow! Ignores defense! Ignores magic defense! Metal attribute attack! Wood attribute attack! Fire attribute attack! Water attribute attack! Earth attribute attack! Yin attribute attack! Yang attribute attack!

Good heavens.

Such a massive amount of damage with so many powerful attributes in one go.

Seeing this, Lin Mo broke out in a cold sweat.

Logically, he should have been instantly killed.

But?

Only a single drop of blood flowed from Lin Mo's health bar; it could be said he didn't die with one HP remaining... The Executioners were also stunned.

They looked at each other, having never encountered such a situation.

To sustain such severe damage and not die.

“How come he didn't die?”

“Strange, I saw his health bar exceed this number. Let me try again.”

Another black-robed figure held a chainsaw... Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz... -999,900,000,000,000! Critical hit! Fatal blow! Ignores defense! Ignores magic defense! Metal attribute attack! Wood attribute attack! Fire attribute attack! Water attribute attack! Earth attribute attack! Yin attribute attack! Yang attribute attack!

Lin Mo's health remained at one point.

He did not die.

Cryptic Beings: ?????????

“Forget it, no more wasted effort. The Lord of Mysteries himself said he's difficult to deal with, so it's normal that conventional methods can't kill him.”

“Hmm, bring out the Tian Yuan Cauldron!”

Just as Lin Mo thought he could relax, as his opponents couldn't do anything to him.

He was then locked into a furnace.

The furnace was filled with an unknown liquid, and he felt his feet begin to heat up.

They must be trying to refine him.

Lin Mo watched as the bottom of the cauldron began to glow red and the water temperature steadily rose.

His exposed head couldn't help but break out in another cold sweat.

He was considering whether he would die, being entangled with death qi.

He soon got his answer.

“The temperature of the Tian Yuan Cauldron has dispelled the death qi from your body. You have come back to life. Without the entanglement of death, you will now die.”

Lin Mo: “...”

“You have been refined by the Tian Yuan Cauldron, and the honor points within your body have received a massive boost.”

“Congratulations! You have gained: 1 billion honor points.”

“Congratulations! You have gained: 5 billion honor points.”

...“Congratulations! You have gained: 80 billion honor points.”

“You have connected to your Ghost Servant, and your blood qi is now linked.”

-1,000 trillion!

-1,000 trillion!

On one hand, Lin Mo received a massive amount of honor points.

On the other hand, his body began to be gradually refined.

His blood qi continuously decreased.

“Oh?”

“Connected to the Ghost Servant in my Sea of Consciousness, so I won't die for now.”

“It's just that I don't have the ability to summon them yet.”

Then I'll just absorb honor points here for now.

As long as I can advance one Ghost Servant, the increased blood qi will definitely be enough to burn in here for days and nights.

After about 4 hours... “Dong Xiaowan has advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal.”

“Dilireba has advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal.”

...All Ghost Servants under him had advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Only one step away from the final Great Luo Golden Immortal.

“Huh? Why has the water in the Tian Yuan Cauldron boiled dry? Add some more!”

...“How come this guy Lin Mo still hasn't been refined to death?”

“This is bad, all the water inside has boiled dry. If we keep dry-burning it like this, the furnace will explode!”

“If the Tian Yuan Cauldron explodes, even if we lose our heads, it won't be enough to compensate!”

“But this kid Lin Mo just won't die.”

“Something's fishy!”

...For a time.

The Executioners once again looked at each other, unclear what had gone wrong.

Logically speaking.

The Tian Yuan Cauldron could refine all things in heaven and earth.

Even if you were already dead, it could kill you again.

There was no such thing as not dying.

Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, scurrying around in circles.

“You guys add more water, don't let it boil dry. I'll go ask the Lord of Mysteries.”

They came to this conclusion after discussion.

Soon, an Executioner came to the feet of the Lord of Mysteries.

He knelt and saluted.

“Reporting to the Lord of Mysteries, there was an unexpected incident during the execution. Lin Mo was confined in the Tian Yuan Cauldron for refining, but the water inside has boiled dry, and he still hasn't been refined to death.”

“Something is amiss, your subordinate had to report. Please make your decision.”

“How is that possible! This water is no ordinary water; it comes from an outer domain, an unnameable world. Anyone injected with this water will die!”

“Logically, only 50 milligrams of this almond-scented liquid would be fatal...”

“Never mind, increase the dosage!”

“I don't believe he can't die!”

The Lord of Mysteries slammed the table and approved a large quantity of this liquid.

The Lord of Mysteries was already impatient.

If Lin Mo wasn't eliminated, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

No matter the cost, he had to kill his opponent.

“Understood, Lord of Mysteries! I will go and increase the dosage now!”

Soon, even more potion was poured into the Tian Yuan Cauldron.

This time, the dosage filled the entire cauldron.

Even Lin Mo's head was submerged in the potion.

And his health continued to drop.

Damage numbers continuously floated out from the Tian Yuan Cauldron.

At the same time, the amount of honor points gained increased once again.

“Congratulations! You have gained: 500 billion honor points.”

“Congratulations! You have gained: 600 billion honor points.”

...“Congratulations! You have gained: 900 billion honor points.”

“Hahahahaha... As expected, after increasing the dosage, Lin Mo's health drop rate upgraded from 1,000 trillion per minute to 1,000 trillion per second.”

“This time, I don't believe I can't refine you to death!”
