Necromancer: I Am A Disaster
Chapter 462: The Lower Layer's Sole City

Han Dong’er's aura steadily surged, growing stronger with each passing moment.

Jialan Lieyang’s face lit up with relief and joy—there was no doubt now: the poison within Han Dong’er had been neutralized.

“It seems the Venomous Flood Dragon’s Spinal Fluid is incredibly effective.” Lin Moyu mused, “I wonder if it could also work against the Putrid Corpse Poison.”

“I’ll need to find a chance to test that.”

Lin Moyu’s thoughts drifted to the God-level human powerhouses who had saved him in the Putrid Corpse Land.

A single drop of kindness should be repaid with a torrent of gratitude.

Even if the odds were slim, he was determined to bring them back—no matter the cost.

Even Antares had said it was impossible.

But giving up had never been an option for Lin Moyu.

“Big Brother Lieyang.” He asked, “Can you tell me what lies beneath the ice layer of the Green Sea Grassland?”

“Of course!” Jialan Lieyang replied without hesitation. He now regarded Lin Moyu with deep reverence—almost as if he were divine.

Having explored the lower layer for years, Jialan Lieyang knew far more about it than Lin Moyu.

Just a meter beneath the Green Sea Grassland was a hidden layer of ice.

Due to the unique properties of the grassland, any attack against it would be absorbed and then reflected back with equal force.

The stronger the assault, the harsher the retaliation.

Unless one could unleash enough power to destroy the entire grassland, the ice layer would remain concealed.

In effect, the one meter-thick grassland served as a shield.

Curiously, the monsters dwelling there were unaffected by the reflection mechanism.

There were two known ways to catch a glimpse of the ice layer beneath the Green Sea Grassland.

The first was to wait for the monsters to drink water. During those moments, the monsters would melt open the grassland and thaw the ice, briefly revealing the hidden layer beneath.

Unlike the grassland, the ice layer wasn’t nearly as tough. With enough raw power, it could be broken.

According to Jialan Lieyang, most class users above level 80 had the capability to break it.

Lin Moyu quickly did the math. Without activating his Enhance Troops skill, he likely wouldn’t make the cut.

While his combat strength was formidable, he lacked the explosive burst power that peak-level class users possessed.

The attribute gap was simply too wide. For level 80-plus peak-level class users, total attributes exceeded a million.

Warriors alone could have over 500,000 in strength—before adding status buffs, equipment, and skill bonuses.

That kind of explosive output easily surpassed even his Skeletal Berserk Warriors.

The second method depended entirely on luck—stumbling upon a crack in the ice layer.

Last time, Jialan Lieyang found one and ventured below, but Han Dong’er was severely injured by a monster lurking beneath the ice and struck with a hard-to-cure poison.

The creature responsible was called the Sword Dragonfish.

It resembled a Lanternfire Fish in shape, but the lantern on its head was replaced by a sword.

It was also a lord rank boss and extremely aggressive. Beyond that, Jialan knew little.

Lin Moyu also learned that the ice layer beneath the grassland was approximately 50 meters thick.

Meanwhile, Han Dong’er’s aura continued to rise—now hovering around level 40.

She had been wounded for a long time and would need time to recover fully.

After some thought, Lin Moyu asked, “Is it possible to bypass it from the bottom of the ocean?”

The Green Sea Grassland bordered the Green Dragon Ocean, separating the grassland from the eastern continent.

In theory, the ocean should connect to the bottom of the Green Sea Grassland.

But Jialan Lieyang shook his head, “People have tried—diving thousands of meters deep. All they found was more ice.”

“You could think of it like this: the entire Green Sea Grassland is essentially a single, massive slab of ice, with the grassland layered on top.”

Lin Moyu finally had a complete picture of the Green Sea Grassland—and his curiosity only grew.

After the poisonous pool incident, he felt certain there was a hidden secret buried beneath the grassland.

But at his current strength, exploring it was out of reach. Still, he vowed that one day, he would uncover its mysteries.

After the two chatted for a while longer, Han Dong'er’s aura finally stabilized.

She was also a level-80-plus class user—almost on par with Jialan Lieyang.

Peak-level level 80 Concocters were exceedingly rare, and they had the potential to ascend to God-level in the future.

As a result, Han Dong’er’s value far surpassed that of Jialan Lieyang.

So when Jialan Lieyang returned to the fortress with a fully recovered Han Dong’er, it sparked a wave of astonishment.

The Celestial Dragon Continent lay at the far eastern edge of the Immemorial Battlefield’s lower layer.

It was said to be extremely ancient, mysterious, and filled with relics and secrets—some even believed it was connected to the Shenxia Empire.

But when Lin Moyu heard Jialan Lieyang's introduction, his first instinct wasn’t to think of the empire—it was to suspect a connection to China.

After all, the Primordial Rune skill he had acquired was composed of an ancient Chinese character.

The Teleportation Formation on the Celestial Dragon Continent was situated at the edge of a cliff—a relatively safe area.

Not far from the cliff stood a city—belonging to the Shenxia Empire.

The Jialan Guild had a base there.

Aside from the guild’s Teleportation Formation, several others dotted the area, all maintained by non-governmental forces affiliated with the Shenxia Empire.

Within the city itself, however, only imperial officials were permitted to construct Teleportation Formations—for security reasons.

Standing on the cliff’s edge, one could gaze out over the Green Dragon Ocean.

Its waters stretched endlessly to the horizon, colored a vivid green-blue.

Waves slammed against the cliff, rebounding violently and crashing into hidden currents below, sending plumes of seawater into the air.

It was a striking and unusual scene.

Jialan Lieyang remarked, “I never understood why they call it the Green Dragon Ocean. Some say the waves resemble Dragons—but to me, they look more like serpents. What kind of Dragon looks like that?”

Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, “They’re Dragons from China—not from this world.

Indeed, the churning waves bore a close resemblance to the Dragons depicted in Chinese mythology.

After watching for a while, the two made their way toward the city.

“The only force capable of building a city in the lower layer is the Shenxia Empire” Jialan Lieyang said.

“All those other countries—Eagle Kingdom, Sakura Kingdom, Bongja Kingdom, and the rest—they can’t do it.”

“Brother Lin, do you know why?”

Of course, Lin Moyu knew.

The land of the Immemorial Battlefield possessed a self-repairing ability.

No matter what was done to it, the land would quickly restore itself to its original form.

Seeing that Lin Moyu remained silent, Jialan Lieyang continued, “That’s because the Shenxia Empire possesses a half-step Transcendent God-level powerhouse—something no other nation has.”

“Only someone at that level can alter the land here and build a city upon it.”

There was a note of deep pride in his voice.

Lin Moyu looked around. Indeed, the terrain here was unlike any he had seen elsewhere.

Half-step Transcendent God-level... truly beyond comprehension. A realm capable of defying even the laws of this mysterious battlefield.

The Shenxia City was a relic of time, bearing over a thousand years of history.

It was built during the early days of the Shenxia Empire by a half-step Transcendent God-level being.

Though the founder had long since vanished under unknown circumstances, the city stood the test of time.

The other nations could only watch with envy.

None dared provoke the Shenxia Empire—not while it still had the backing of the only half-step Transcendent God-level powerhouse in the present era.

“There’s a Teleportation Formation within the Shenxia City that connects to the eastern, southern, and northern regions of the Celestial Dragon Continent.” Jialan Lieyang explained.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the clearance to use it. You need to be at least a six-star colonel to gain access.”

Jialan Lieyang continued talking about the city.

As they stepped into Shenxia City, Lin Moyu felt an odd sense of familiarity—almost as if he had returned to the Human World.

The streets bustled with activity, with many level 70-plus class users moving about.

There were mission boards, grinding halls, and a variety of other facilities available.

The Shenxia Empire’s military presence was impossible to miss—well-armed soldiers patrolled the streets, maintaining order around the clock.

The Shenxia Empire’s military maintained a large year-round garrison here to keep order.

Lin Moyu asked, “I need to reach the northern Wind-Lightning Continent. If I use the Teleportation Formation, will it get me any closer?”

Jialan Lieyang nodded. “Absolutely. It’ll save you at least tens of thousands of kilometers—and those aren't peaceful kilometers, either.”

“Even though the monsters on the Celestial Dragon Continent are a bit weaker than those on Savagewild Continent, there are still plenty of level 80-plus bosses roaming around.”

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he smacked his forehead, “Ah! I forgot who I’m talking to. You killed the level 85 Venomous Flood Dragon. Those monsters won’t be much trouble for you.”

“Just keep an eye out for a handful of world rank bosses.”

But Lin Moyu knew his own limits.

His victory over the Venomous Flood Dragon had only been possible because he’d meticulously planned everything—down to the smallest detail.

If the Venomous Flood Dragon had been just a little smarter or more unpredictable, things might have ended very differently.

Still, since the Teleportation Formation would significantly shorten the journey, Lin Moyu naturally chose to use it.

Jialan Lieyang suddenly tugged his arm, “Come on, let’s buy a map first. You’ll definitely need one down here in the lower layer.”

The shop was operated directly by the Shenxia Empire, with a long line of people queuing outside.

But off to the side was a quiet, empty entrance.

Lin Moyu raised an eyebrow, “Why is no one over there?”

Jialan Lieyang glanced at it and replied, “That’s the military officers' entrance. Only officers ranked six-star colonel or above can use it. Since this shop’s run by the military, military officers get a few perks.”

Lin Moyu promptly started walking toward it, “Then let’s use that entrance.”
