Chapter 1164

Lin Moyu cast aside the stray thoughts in his mind, no longer thinking about unrealistic possibilities.

He still remembered his promise to Antares: once Antares returned to the Great World, he would accompany him to fight their way back to the Dragon Race.

Fighting back to the Dragon Race required immense strength; otherwise, going there would just be delivering himself to his death.

Lin Moyu felt that he would need to reach at least the God Venerable Realm to be taken seriously.

Gradually, a magnificent, giant tomb appeared in his line of sight.

Chapter 1273: The First Trial: Speed!

A dense aura of death emanated from the Ancient Tomb.

Lin Moyu had already sensed this aura when he was still tens of millions of kilometers away.

It was a true aura of death, different from the aura of the Law of Death, and closer to the Power of Death of the Undead Law.

Ordinary people could not tell the difference between the two; only someone like Lin Moyu, who controlled the Undead Law, could distinguish them.

Lin Moyu stood on the back of the Golden Eagle, quietly sensing the aura of death emanating from the tomb.

It was exactly the same as the aura of death in the Mysterious Manor, confirming that the two originated from the same world.

However, the Mysterious Manor was like an independent world, or a projection of another world, which could only be felt upon entering it.

The Ancient Tomb, on the other hand, had already arrived in the Great World and was gradually merging with it.

From the aura of death, Lin Moyu also sensed traces of the Law of Death.

The Law of Death was a law belonging to the Great World, indicating that the Law of Death was currently infiltrating the Ancient Tomb.

This infiltration speed was very slow, but it was constantly ongoing.

"Infiltration, alteration, fusion…"

Lin Moyu seemed to gain some insight, as if he had grasped something, yet also as if he had comprehended nothing.

He clearly realized that it was because his current level was not yet high enough.

This kind of alteration seemed to involve the origin of laws, which was still far too distant for him.

The Ancient Tomb gradually grew larger in his line of sight. Nowadays, not many people came to the Ancient Tomb anymore, or at least not many from the Human Race.

If it were several thousand years ago, people would enter the Ancient Tomb to explore almost every day.

If one could obtain a magic treasure from it, they would gain incredible returns.

Later, the Ancient Tomb became dangerous, and the magic treasures inside were almost entirely cleaned out, so fewer and fewer people came.

Most people who came to Area 7-10 only did so for the Water of Death.

The aura of the Ancient Tomb grew increasingly dense. When they were still a hundred thousand kilometers away, the tomb's aura was already surging over them, blotting out the sky.

Like ocean waves, it beat against their bodies and souls wave after wave.

The Soul World shook incessantly under the impact of the aura of death. Without reaching a Third-Grade Soul, one could not block the impact of this aura of death at all.

Under the continuous onslaught of the aura of death, one's soul would quickly corrode and die.

Drawing closer, the Ancient Tomb became clearer in his line of sight.

It was a rectangular tomb, its surface constructed from piled black stones.

At the entrance of the tomb, there was an opening about a thousand meters high, shaped like a semi-circular arch.

On both sides of the entrance stood two wordless stone tablets, with giant skull heads carved upon them.

The material of the stone tablets was different from that of the tomb; they were white, emitting a jade-like luster.

Lin Moyu arrived before the tomb and reached out to touch its main body.

The unknown black stone material was exactly the same as the castle in the Mysterious Manor, incredibly sturdy.

Although the stone tablets on both sides of the entrance had different colors and materials, they were equally sturdy.

Lin Moyu gave it a try, but even with all his strength, he could not leave a single mark on them.

People had once tried to take the two stone tablets back, but no matter what they did, they could not succeed.

At the thousand-meter-high entrance of the tomb, a battered door had one half hanging on the tomb and the other half lying on the ground.

Judging by the gap, it had been slashed open by some powerhouse using a sharp weapon.

The door's material was the same as the tomb's, also incredibly sturdy. With Lin Moyu's current capabilities, he could not leave any mark on it.

Although the half of the door lying on the ground was broken, it still could not be taken away.

The broken door lying on the ground among the ruins seemed to still be integrated as one with the entire tomb.

He had seen similar situations in the Mysterious Manor, where stones that were clearly shattered lay scattered randomly on the ground, yet they could not be taken away or even moved.

An invisible force held them firmly in place.

One could imagine how powerful the force that broke the door back then must have been.

Lin Moyu felt that even a God Venerable might not have the power to cause such damage.

Observing the Ancient Tomb carefully, apart from the skulls on the stone tablets and the shattered door, the tomb did not seem to have anything else.

On its massive exterior, there was not a single trace of redundant carved decoration, making it look extremely ancient and simple.

The entire structure exuded a vast and desolate aura, as if it were a giant beast from ancient times.

In ancient times, he wondered what kind of powerhouse would be buried in such a tomb after death.

But on second thought, even such a powerhouse would have a day when they died.

Longevity… how difficult it is!

God Kings and God Venerables both have limits to their lifespans, and their ultimate limit will eventually arrive.

Even the Dragon Race, which had the longest lifespan, would have a day when they died.

No one wanted to die. Pursuing invincible power and higher realms was, in fact, also pursuing longevity in its truest sense, or even eternal life.

He found a spot outside and placed a Transmission Talisman mark.

In case of danger, he could return at any time.

"Let's go in."

The Poison God clansman and the Vajra Demon entered the Ancient Tomb first, with Lin Moyu following behind on the back of the Golden Eagle.

The Vajra Demon walked at the very front, with the Poison God clansman keeping a distance of a thousand meters from him, and Lin Moyu at the back, likewise maintaining a thousand-meter distance from the Poison God clansman.

Although a distance of two thousand meters was not far, it still left him with enough reaction time.

If there was danger, the Vajra Demon would be the one leading the charge.

After entering the tomb, there was a long tomb passage.

The light grew dimmer and dimmer. After walking over a hundred meters, the light disappeared completely, and the tomb passage became pitch black.

Lin Moyu threw out a ball of Undying Flame, which floated in the air, bringing a bit of light.

The Undying Flame flickered, casting long shadows.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the long tomb passage, making the entire tomb seem even more eerie and terrifying.

For a powerhouse of Lin Moyu's level, it was simply impossible to be afraid of ordinary ghosts or monsters.

Ghosts and specters were merely souls or lingering obsessions, which could be erased at will.

Furthermore, seeing in the dark was commonplace, and his vision would not be affected at all.

However, this place was very strange. When the tomb passage turned dark, Lin Moyu found that his vision actually was affected.

Only then did he use the Undying Flame to light the way.

After walking for a full ten thousand meters, the tomb passage still had not reached its end.

The entire tomb passage was straight, without any redundant forks. No matter where they walked, the scene was the same, completely unchanging.

Gradually, Lin Moyu sensed that something was wrong.

The distance they had walked now already exceeded the length of the tomb passage seen from the outside.

Unless a Spatial Array was used in the tomb passage to expand the space, such an effect could not be achieved.

But this was clearly not the case. Space expanded by an array was different from normal space, and it could not be hidden from him.

Lin Moyu realized that the tomb's first trial had appeared.

The information had stated that after entering the tomb, one would encounter the first trial, which tested speed.

Lin Moyu had originally thought there would be some traps, so he was ready to dodge at any moment.

But now, it seemed that was not the case.

He stopped his footsteps, and the Poison God clansman stopped as well.

In the next second, the Vajra Demon suddenly burst forward, running ahead at a rapid pace.

Since there were no traps and it tested speed, then it was literally as stated.

The Vajra Demon's speed grew faster and faster, turning into an afterimage.

Although the Vajra Demon was not skilled in speed and could not be compared to the Golden Eagle Race.

But he was a God King after all, so his speed was not slow by any means.

In Lin Moyu's perception, the Vajra Demon rapidly distanced himself, his speed getting faster and faster.

It seemed that upon reaching a certain critical point, he suddenly lost his connection with the Vajra Demon.

Chapter 1274: Ambush in the Tomb

He had lost contact with the Vajra Demon, and the connection between them was broken.

Lin Moyu's first reaction was that the Vajra Demon was dead.

But on second thought, it felt wrong. Even if the Vajra Demon had been instantly killed, he would still have been able to sense the arrival of an attack.

Yet the Vajra Demon had disappeared very abruptly, without any warning.

Just as Lin Moyu was thoroughly perplexed, the Vajra Demon abruptly reappeared within his perception.

"Not dead!"

The Vajra Demon was indeed not dead, but the connection with him had become extremely weak.

It was as if they were not in the same space-time.

After thinking for a moment, he already understood what was going on.

In the next moment, the Poison God clansman began to sprint. His eight limbs conjured countless afterimages on the ground, carrying him forward in a rapid dash.

His speed was quite a bit faster than the Vajra Demon's, reaching the critical point in the blink of an eye, and then he also vanished without a trace just like the Vajra Demon.

Lin Moyu was in no hurry. After quietly waiting for a few seconds, the Poison God clansman reappeared in his perception.

He and the Vajra Demon were in the same space, not far apart from each other.

"It seems that as long as one's speed is sufficient, they can pass this trial."

Lin Moyu gave the command, and the mount beneath his feet turned into a golden stream of light, rapidly charging forward.

The Golden Eagle's speed was indeed extremely fast, reaching the critical point in almost the blink of an eye.

Bang!

Like a bubble being popped, the Golden Eagle dissolved into a phantom image and vanished before Lin Moyu's eyes, while Lin Moyu himself felt as though he had crashed into an invisible wall of air, being heavily knocked back.

Lin Moyu fell to the ground, a pure white light radiating from his body.

His skeletons bore the damage brought by this impact.

Lin Moyu clearly felt that at the moment of impact, an invisible law had invaded his body.

"They really didn't leave a single loophole!"

Lin Moyu had not expected the rules here to be so strict that he could not use the Golden Eagle's speed to pass the trial.

"It seems I can only rely on myself."
