Chapter 795: Moving River |
The Bone Dragons burst through the mist, radiating an overwhelming pressure.
Silver-white undeath fire blazed across their bodies, and the law of undeath spread across the heaven and earth, clashing with the elemental laws.
Countless Bone Dragons descended and clashed head-on with the Elemental Giants.
Lin Moyu deliberately refrained from summoning additional undead or deploying the Lich Generals. Even the number of Bone Dragons matched the Elemental Giants exactly.
This was the first true real combat test since the Bone Dragons had evolved into a law art, making it the perfect opportunity to evaluate their combat power.
The Bone Dragons opened their jaws and unleashed a breath attack infused with the dense law of undeath, crushing the elemental laws as easily as tofu.
At level 96 and beyond, laws became the foundation of combat.
Law arts lacking the support of laws, their power suffered a dramatic drop in power.
Although the great world rune curse prevented Lin Moyu’s law arts from carrying external laws, the law arts themselves possessed innate laws, and extraordinarily powerful ones at that.
In comparison, the elemental laws were practically worthless.
Lin Moyu observed the battle carefully, analyzing every exchange.
The law of undeath was undeniably superior to elemental laws.
Coupled with the immense enhancement granted by the eight-star law art, the Bone Dragons far surpassed the Elemental Giants of the same level.
Antares had stated the Bone Dragons possessed offensive power comparable to level 98, and the statement now appeared completely accurate.
Though each Bone Dragon was only around a hundred meters long, the Elemental Giants were utterly overwhelmed.
Under the relentless bombardment of the breath attacks, the Elemental Giants collapsed one after another.
The Elemental Giant leader roared and charged forward like a moving mountain.
With thunderous crashes, it smashed aside the Bone Dragons blocking its path.
As half-step Transcendent God-level, its power far exceeded that of the other Elemental Giants and even surpassed the Bone Dragons.
However, thanks to Lin Moyu’s talent, the Bone Dragons and the other undead shared incoming damage.
The Bone Dragon might not rival the Elemental Giant leader in combat power, but killing them was nearly impossible.
With a thought, Lin Moyu summoned an undead legion: 1,000 of each skeleton type, 1,000 Death Knights, and a Lich General.
Together with the thousand Bone Dragons, they formed a complete undead legion under the Lich General’s command.
The Lich General raised its massive stave and activated a law art.
Gray light swept across the battlefield, instantly strengthening the entire undead legion.
What followed was pure slaughter. A complete slaughter.
The moment the Lich General joined the battle, the tide shifted completely.
The overwhelming might of the undead legion was revealed in full force.
The Elemental Giants were quickly annihilated, while Lin Moyu gained a large amount of soul force.
The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal immediately began devouring the incoming soul force, refining and purifying it before feeding it to Lin Moyu’s soul main body.
Since the enemies were level 97 Elemental Giants, the EXP rose at an astonishing pace.
Lin Moyu frowned, “It seems I can’t kill without restraint anymore. I need to control my EXP gain.”
Gaining EXP too quickly wasn’t beneficial to him now.
Before advancing to God-level, he needed to draw out his talents.
Once he reached level 90, the gate of the talent world would gradually close, and the opening he had painstakingly torn apart would disappear.
Drawing out his talents afterward would become extraordinarily difficult.
Every one of his three talents was indispensable. Without any one of them, he could never have reached his current stage.
In the blink of an eye, the Elemental Giants were wiped out, leaving only their leader struggling to survive.
Yet under the siege of the undead legion, its defeat was inevitable.
With the Lich General’s Extreme Enhancement buff, the Bone Dragons possessed combat power comparable to the Elemental Giant leader.
Ten Bone Dragons alone would have been enough to fight it, let alone an entire undead army.
Surrounded from all sides, the Elemental Giant leader had no chance to escape. It was overwhelmed and slain in less than two minutes.
Lin Moyu checked his EXP. This battle had increased it by 15%, bringing the total to 25%.
At this rate, a few more battles like this would push him to level 89.
That was too fast. He needed to leave himself enough room.
From now on, if a fight could be avoided, he would avoid it.
Lin Moyu decided to head for the Burial Ground of Gods first to assess the situation.
Massive battles were undoubtedly waiting for him there.
With the death of the Elemental Giants, the dense elemental aura that had saturated the region began to dissipate.
The Elemental Giants themselves had been the source of this rich concentration of elements.
Lin Moyu flicked out a cluster of undeath flames. The fire exploded in midair, scattering countless sparks across the corpses of the fallen Elemental Giants.
The recently slain Elemental Giants rose again within the undeath flames, transformed into resurrected.
The fading elemental aura immediately thickened once more.
With Lin Moyu’s current soul rank, these resurrected could exist for ten days.
More importantly, the resurrected retained their strength from before death and even grew stronger.
Unfortunately, they could not benefit from the Comprehensive Link talent. Compared to the undead troops, their survivability was still far inferior.
“Scout the path. Find the Burial Ground of Gods!”
At Lin Moyu’s command, the resurrected Elemental Giants charged off in every direction.
Each was level 97, massive in size and extremely fast.
Yet Lin Moyu had sent them to scout rather than fight.
Even if they perished along the way, he would lose nothing.
They were not his summons but resurrected with a lifespan of ten days.
In essence, they were expendable cannon fodder.
Meanwhile, Lin Moyu moved onward in another direction.
His speed was astonishing, and within moments he had crossed a vast stretch of land.
Soon, the distant roar of rushing water echoed through the air. The surrounding water element grew denser with.
A stream? No—the sound was far too immense.
It had to be a great river, especially with such concentrated water element surging nearby.
The roar intensified until it buzzed in his ears.
Lin Moyu suddenly realized something was wrong. The sound was growing louder far too quickly.
It was not merely that he was approaching the river; the river itself seemed to be approaching him.
Lin Moyu stopped. Even so, the sound of rushing water continued to swell.
Then, a great river appeared before him.
It stretched at least thirty meters wide and had a length…
Lin Moye was startled. The river had a visible beginning and end.
It measured only five or six hundred meters long, surging toward him amid crashing waters.
A river with a head and tail, moving freely across the land.
Such a thing was utterly bizarre. Lin Moyu had never witnessed anything like it.
Avoiding contact, he leaped into the air and hovered above the ground.
The river swept directly over the place where he had been moments earlier, roaring into the distance.
Wherever it passed, it carved a deep trench into the earth.
From above, Lin Moyu could clearly see that it truly was a river, except it was alive, or at least mobile.
Yet he detected no monster within.
“The world truly is vast and full of wonders.”
Lin Moyu could not help but recall Antares’s words: “In the deep layer, never be surprised by what you see. Among the countless races of the great world, even the most miraculous things can exist.”
Only now did Lin Moyu fully understand their meaning.
What kind of monster was this moving river?
Just as the river was about to disappear beyond the horizon, Lin Moyu noticed a sleeping creature disturbed awake by its passage.
The monster radiated law aura, clearly not weak.
Yet the river simply raised a wave and swallowed it whole.
In an instant, the monster vanished without a trace.
The river paused for half a minute before continuing onward.
“Truly bizarre…”
At that moment, a mass of dark clouds swept over at an incredible speed.
