Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 863 - 419: Kill Protection! (Double - )_2

Following Sun Wu's explanation, Chen Mo finally grasped the reality of the situation. It was no surprise that the sea folk of the Sea of Cosmos consistently issued missions to eradicate source beasts; it was clearly tied to the sudden emergence of these disasters.

Upon reaching this bizarre oceanic realm, Sun Wu immediately guided Chen Mo as they swam in a specific direction.

"This subterranean ocean is known as the [Sea King Realm]. Because it is a world dominated by water, the creatures here are remarkably agile and swift.

They are much more dangerous than typical terrestrial monsters, so it is best to stick to the outer ring for grinding experience."

"The outer ring?"

"The Sea King Realm is categorized into nine rings based on their proximity to Sea King City, with the territory beyond the ninth ring designated as the outer ring.

Generally, the source beasts become increasingly formidable the closer one ventures to Sea King City. While your combat capabilities are commendable, you are still only Level 1. It is wiser to begin in the most accessible zone to accustom yourself to deep-sea combat before we attempt the inner rings."

Sun Wu proved to be an excellent mentor, and Chen Mo, finding the logic sound, followed him toward the outer ring.

Along the way, they observed many other Lords of the Cosmos maneuvering through the currents.

Some were clearly pushing toward the inner sectors, while others were, like them, making their way from the ninth ring out toward the periphery.

Moments later, Chen Mo and Sun Wu encountered a small cluster of source beasts traveling together.

Although they belonged to different species, the trio seemed to share a strange sense of harmony.

Through the Heavenly Path System, Chen Mo identified one as a Big Finned Shark. It possessed a massive, sleek frame, covered in skin that shimmered with a deep, resilient blue luster.

Its broad head featured aggressive, golden eyes and jaws packed with jagged teeth.

The Big Finned Shark's dorsal fin was enormous, resembling a set of wings that enabled high-speed aquatic travel.

Its thick, muscular tail provided the necessary balance for sharp, rapid maneuvers within the water.

It was a Level 10 Ordinary Level source beast, and Chen Mo couldn't hide his satisfaction.

It was clear why Sun Wu suggested the outer ring; the local monsters were perfect for a Level 1 player.

However, despite being Level 10, their status as Ordinary Level creatures with mediocre aptitude meant they posed little threat.

The other two were similarly matched. Beside the shark was a Sea Dragon—a slender, serpentine entity resembling a mythic beast, its skin lined with tiny spikes and glowing with a light blue aura.

The Sea Dragon possessed oversized eyes, and much like the shark, its mouth was filled with small, razor-sharp teeth. Its powerful tail allowed for fluid, balanced movement.

Its agility even surpassed that of the shark.

The third beast, however, seemed significantly more sluggish. Known as the Giant Shell Crab, it looked like a small mountain with a rugged, fortified carapace. Its wide body featured menacing red eyes and massive pincers. While its stout legs granted it significant lateral mobility across the sea floor, it was markedly slower when changing direction suddenly.

This particular creature boasted the highest defensive amplification among the three.

Yet, it capped out at only 150 points.

Against the raw attribute values of Chen Mo and Sun Wu, this was entirely negligible.

Sun Wu had no intention of interfering; he wanted Chen Mo to solo them. Soloing would result in the maximum possible experience, and given Chen Mo’s low starting level, the scaling bonuses for defeating higher-level foes would be substantial.

If Sun Wu intervened, those bonus experience points would be forfeited.

Furthermore, killing Ordinary Level source beasts would not extend his survival time, providing him no incentive to fight.

Upon seeing Sun Wu hang back, Chen Mo understood his intent perfectly. After reviewing the attributes of the beasts, he realized he didn't need any assistance. He focused his mind, summoning an Emperor Bell to hover above him.

As he unleashed the Heaven Shaking ability, ripples tore through the water, radiating a crushing, vibrational force toward the trio.

The bell’s resonance sent unseen shockwaves cascading through the depths.

The surrounding water erupted, churning into a chaotic, heaving frenzy from the pressure.

Trapped by this invisible force as if clutched by a massive hand, the deep-blue bodies of the source beasts appeared entirely fragile beneath the weight of the Emperor Bell.

When the Heaven Shaking effect took hold, the beasts sensed an immediate, existential threat. They writhed in terror, emitting high-pitched, alien screeches as they realized their doom.

It was Chen Mo’s first encounter with the cries of the abyss, though these monsters were merely anomalies of the system.

No matter their struggles, they could not escape the suppression.

Their hulking forms were crushed by the merciless vibrations, turning the sea into a violent underwater vortex defined by both their screams and the bell’s discordant chime.

Chen Mo and Sun Wu stood motionless, watching the Emperor Bell dish out damage automatically.

Ultimately, as the intensity of the shaking reached its zenith, the beasts could no longer hold their forms together; they shattered into fragments.

Purple blood bloomed in the water, and their massive carcasses dissolved, leaving only residual loot behind.

The vibrations continued to churn the ocean into disarray long after they had vanished.

Chen Mo had 300 points in Cosmic Source Force combined with 250 points of attack amplification; paired with the penetration capabilities of his first-tier secret treasure, the Obscure Demon Bow—which ignored 20% of defensive amplification—even the Giant Shell Crab’s 150 points of defense resulted in over a thousand points of damage per vibration.

A Level 10 source beast possessed only 1000 health, making them easy prey for such an overwhelming assault.

They were wiped out in a single exchange.

As the beasts were decimated, the familiar notification chime of the Heavenly Path reached Chen Mo’s ears.

[Heavenly Path’s Hint: You successfully defeated a Level 10 Ordinary Level source beast above your current rank and gained 10 experience points. Your level difference of 9 grants a 9-fold multiplier, resulting in 100 bonus experience points.]

[Heavenly Path’s Hint: You successfully defeated a Level 10 Ordinary Level source beast above your current rank and gained 10 experience points. Your level difference of 9 grants a 9-fold multiplier...]

After the third notification repeated the trend, a final system prompt emerged.

[Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have accumulated sufficient experience. Your level has increased to Level 2. All attributes have been augmented based on your current growth stats.]

Lords of the Cosmos depend strictly on their innate growth attributes to scale—there are no free points to distribute.

Because Chen Mo possessed top-tier aptitude, his growth upon leveling was equally impressive.

His ascension granted him 1000 points in Origin Life Force, 100 in Cosmic Source Force, 100 in Attack Amplification, 100 in Defensive Amplification, and 10000 points in Cosmic Origin Energy.

The leap in power was massive.

Having already demonstrated the ability to crush higher-level beasts, Chen Mo was now essentially untouchable by anything under Level 10.

Surprisingly, the shattered beasts still left behind valuable remnants. Their origin cores and specific tissues remained intact—likely protected by the Heavenly Path specifically to prevent the frustration of losing loot during intense combat.
