Chapter 801: Forcing Kin To Slaughter Kin |
A furious roar scattered the dense mist.
A colossal Dreadbeast burst from the mist.
“A living Dreadbeast.”
Lin Moyu immediately sensed the life aura radiating from it.
This was a living Dreadbeast and not an ordinary one.
The Dreabeasts and the Zerg that had swarmed this place before were nothing more than expendable cannon fodder.
Only the elite among the cannon fodder were worthy of entering the final battlefield at the Burial Ground of Gods.
And the Dreadbeast before him was one of those elites—a Dreadbeast Emperor.
Far more powerful than a Dreadbeast King, it was identical to the ice sculpture Lin Moyu had seen in the Water God’s palace.
Mysterious law coiled around its body like an armor, Transcendent God-level pressure spreading through the air.
Yet Lin Moyu sensed weakness within its aura.
The law surrounding it fluctuated unstably.
“It must be heavily wounded.”
“After the great war, it was likely driven to the brink of death and forced into deep slumber.”
“My arrival must have awakened it. Even after all these years, its injuries still haven’t fully healed.”
Through his soul force, Lin Moyu sensed traces of other laws lingering on the Dreadbeast Emperor’s body.
They were scars left behind by the great war, continuously eroding its body.
To kill a Dreadbeast, even the weakest kind, one needed pure power, pure power approaching the level of laws.
That was why Meng Anwen and the others had been unable to kill Deadbeasts before.
Only after Yan Kuangsheng comprehended pure murderous aura, stepping onto the path of murderous aura and grasping a trace of the law of murderous aura, had he gained the ability to wound them.
Against a Dreadbeast King—or worse, a Dreadbeast Emperor—ordinary attacks were meaningless. Without sufficiently pure and formidable power of law, one could not even scratch them.
The Dreadbeast Emperor before him was at least at Transcendent God 6th tier.
Lin Moyu felt pressure.
As the Dreadbeast Emperor lunged forward with killing intent, his thoughts stirred.
The Elemental Dragon Rex and several other resurrected instantly moved to intercept it.
Having become resurrected, Rex had regained the strength of his prime.
Lin Moyu did not know the exact extent of Rex’s former strength, but any fully matured Elemental Dragon was at least Transcendent God-level.
Naturally, Rex was anything but weak.
The Elemental Dragon collided head-on with the Dreadbeast Emperor, unleashing a breath attack as the two clashed violently.
Rex’s body was just as massive, matching the Dreadbeast Emperor in size.
The two monsters crashed through the dark mist, tearing into one another in a savage deadlock.
The other resurrected joined the battle, surrounding the Dreadbeast Emperor from all sides.
The Dreadbeast Emperor roared, unleashing wave after wave of terrifying breath.
They weren’t simple breath attacks, but razor-sharp currents that sliced through the graveyard’s dark mist like blades.
The deep layer shook.
Even while heavily injured, the Dreadbeast Emperor fought evenly against multiple opponents.
“This thing is still this powerful despite its injuries… At its peak, it must have been even stronger.”
As he observed the battle, Lin Moyu realized that in a true one-on-one fight, Rex would likely lose.
To have survived the ancient great war was proof enough of the Dread Emperor’s monstrous power.
Even among Dreadbeast Emperors, it had likely ranked near the top.
But now…
A cold glint flashed through Lin Moyu’s eyes.
“You might be a mindless thing, but I still want you to die by the hands of your own kind.”
Through the churning dark mist, he caught glimpses of something.
In the direction from which the Dreadbeast Emperor had emerged, the ground was littered in skeletal remains.
Even after countless years, the bones had not decayed, a testament to the terrifying power they once contained in life.
But this time, Lin Moyu intended to grind them into dust.
Clusters of undeath fire burst across the air, piercing the dense dark mist before landing onto the white bones.
The undeath fire blazed fiercely, devouring the fog and bathing the graveyard in a silver-white radiance bright as daylight.
Hundreds of undeath flames rose into the air, as though they sought to ignite the entire burial ground.
The Zerg and the Dreadbeasts began regenerating flesh and respawning their souls.
The graveyard was divided into separate domains: one belonged to the humans and the Gods, while another housed the Zerg and the Dreadbeasts.
The humans had gravestones, erected by the last survivors of that time.
The Zerg and the Dreadbeasts had none—only heaps of bones scattered across the ground.
Now, those bones became Lin Moyu’s resurrection targets.
He intended to transform them into resurrected, forcing kin to slaughter kin until nothing remained but dust.
One after another, the Dreadbeast and the Zerg rose from death and charged toward the Dreadbeast Emperor in a frenzied siege.
Though the Dreadbeast Emperor was little more than a weapon of war, it still possessed some intelligence.
Lin Moyu could clearly see panic in its eyes.
Perhaps it could not comprehend why its own kin had suddenly turned against it.
Worse still, these creatures had obviously died long ago, so how had they returned to life?
With its limited intellect, it simply could not make sense of it.
Laws intertwined with surging torrents of energy, raging violently throughout the Burial Ground of Gods.
It was as though the ancient great war had erupted once more.
The soul remnants of the humans and the Gods stood frozen, unable to comprehend what was happening.
Boom!
A mountain of Dreadbeast and Zerg remains burst apart.
From beneath the remains emerged a colossal praying mantis over five hundred meters long.
Transcendent God-level aura radiated from its body, no weaker than that of the Dreadbeast Emperor.
“So there’s another survivor!”
Lin Moyu sensed the aura of life from it as well.
A Zerg had also endured since the ancient great war.
It seemed humanity’s victory back then had not been absolute.
At the very least, the mantis Zerg and the Dreadbeast Emperor had both survived.
Without hesitation, Lin Moyu commanded part of the resurrected to surround it.
At the same time, he cast Detection.
[Blade Zerg]
[Level: Transcendent God 8th tier]
[Ability: commands the law of metal]
The Blade Zerg swung its enormous razor-edged forelegs, instantly cleaving apart the surrounding resurrected.
Casualties mounted in an instant, yet even more surged forward without end, wave after wave, seemingly impossible to exterminate.
At that moment, the largest gravestone within the human area suddenly shone with brilliant light.
The earth behind it split apart, and a man rose from the grave, gripping a massive blade, radiating a formidable aura.
“You’ve finally awakened… I have waited many years for this day. My final strike was reserved especially for you…”
The man looked toward the Dreadbeast Emperor and the Blade Zerg, but before he could finish his sentence, he froze.
He saw numerous resurrected swarming the two creatures.
For a moment, he could not process what he was seeing, confusion written plainly across his face.
Lin Moyu had examined that gravestone earlier: grave of human Blade Venerable.
Among all the gravestones, it was the largest, symbolizing its owner’s unrivaled status and strength.
He had never expected this ancient powerhouse to still be alive.
As Lin Moyu observed Blade Venerable, Blade Venerable studied him in return.
“A human?” Blade Venerable frowned.
In his eyes, Lin Moyu was veiled in faint mist, making his true level impossible to discern.
The Dragon Bead given by Antares concealed all traces of his information.
Lin Moyu said, “Junior Lin Moyu of the human race greets Senior Blade Venerable.”
Blade Venerable asked curiously, “Young fellow, you recognize me?”
Lin Moyu replied, “I just saw your gravestone.”
Blade Venerable’s lips twitched.
No matter how he interpreted those words, they sounded oddly uncomfortable.
Still, he didn’t bother with such trivial matters.
“You came from the Human World?”
Lin Moyu nodded, “Yes. I came here to eliminate their soul remnants. I never expected survivors of the Zerg and the Dreadbeasts from that ancient war to still exist.”
Blade Venerable said, “They suffered grievous injuries back then and fell into deep slumber. I endured until now for one purpose alone: to deliver the final strike and settle the score once and for all.”
Lin Moyu’s gaze swept across Blade Venerable: “Senior, save your strike. Leave them to me.”
