Chapter 1165

Although this trial isn't difficult, one must use their own strength.

Only when one's speed reaches a critical point can they pass.

Thus, the Golden Eagle Race member passed just now, while Lin Moyu, who headed north, was blocked by the rules.

Lin Moyu stood up, took a deep breath, and suddenly exerted force with his legs, shooting forward like a sharp arrow.

His speed wasn't slow; a Peak True God physique alone was enough to let him pass this trial.

Lin Moyu's speed increased, reaching the critical point after a few seconds.

The bubble shattered before his eyes, and Lin Moyu felt as if he had entered another world.

The soul connection with the Revenants became incredibly clear; he easily sensed their positions, which were not far from him.

With a slight movement of his consciousness, the three Revenants immediately hurried over.

Lin Moyu simultaneously surveyed this space.

From this moment on, he had truly entered the interior of the tomb.

The interior of the tomb wasn't as dark as imagined; instead, it was relatively bright.

All light sources came from the white bones on the surrounding walls, which were densely embedded in the walls, filling every gap.

They were like night-luminescent pearls, sparkling and illuminating the entire burial chamber.

This was a semi-circular space with a high ceiling, at least a thousand meters up.

Based on its shape and the appearance of the Ancient Tomb seen from the outside, Lin Moyu judged that he had already passed through the long tomb passage and entered the tomb's interior.

Around him were exactly 10 uniform stone doors, each 500 meters high, with identical dimensions and materials—the same black stone used for the main body of the tomb.

The black stone doors and the glowing white bones formed a stark contrast.

The eerie feeling became increasingly pronounced, making one feel uneasy.

The 10 stone doors represented 10 directions, or 10 secret chambers.

Seven of the stone doors were open, while the other three remained closed.

With Lin Moyu's current abilities, he had no way of dealing with the closed stone doors.

These stone doors hadn't just opened; they were already like this ten thousand years ago when the Ancient Tomb first appeared.

Over the millennia, countless people had entered to explore, and everything worth taking had been stripped bare.

If these stones weren't impossible to take, they probably would have been emptied long ago.

If there were still any good things in the tomb, they would be behind those three closed doors.

"Have you been inside?" Lin Moyu looked at the three Revenants.

The three shook their heads, and the Golden Eagle Race member said, "Our clan's records state that the items here have been stripped, and there's no need to enter."

The answers from the Poison God Race and the Vajra Demon were similar.

The records Lin Moyu had seen were also roughly the same: "According to the data, each secret chamber is a burial vault containing a sarcophagus."

"They should be the relatives of the tomb's owner, buried together with them."

"But these sarcophagi are all empty, and the occupants' whereabouts are unknown."

Since that was the case, there was truly no need to go in.

Lin Moyu looked straight ahead, where there was a pitch-black passage leading deeper into the tomb.

According to the mission data, after passing through this passage, there would be a dried-up fountain.

In the fountain's basin, a large number of stones were scattered.

These stones were infused with the Law of Death; bringing back just one would complete the mission and earn a reward.

0 · Requesting flowers —

This mission seemed very easy, but it actually wasn't.

Out of ten people who took this mission, less than half could complete it.

The difficulty of completing the mission lay in the second tomb passage ahead.

The Vajra Demon entered the passage first; there was no lighting in the passage, and it was pitch black again.

However, this passage wasn't long, and the Vajra Demon quickly reached the end.

Nothing happened during the entire process.

It wasn't until the moment he left the passage that overwhelming attacks landed on the Vajra Demon.

The Vajra Demon didn't even have time to react before being instantly killed on the spot.

"An ambush?"

Lin Moyu was slightly puzzled; based on the information sent back by the Vajra Demon before its death, someone was actually lying in ambush at the other end of the passage.

"This is different from what's recorded in the data."

…0

"The data says the second trial is within the second passage."

"Why did the Vajra Demon walk out of the passage without anything happening, only to be ambushed after leaving…"

Lin Moyu was very perplexed, not knowing what had happened.

Revenants aren't like skeletons; he couldn't connect to their vision at any time and could only judge based on some information sent back.

This meant his judgment couldn't be too precise.

Lin Moyu didn't mind losing a Revenant.

Immediately, the Poison God Race member entered the passage.

Under Lin Moyu's command, he increased his speed to the limit and rushed out of the passage in just a few dozen seconds.

Like the Vajra Demon, he didn't suffer any attacks within the passage.

It wasn't until he rushed out of the passage that overwhelming attacks fell upon his head.

Without any surprise, the Poison God Race member was instantly killed on the spot.

Lin Moyu frowned, and with a thought, the Golden Eagle Race member turned into a streak of golden light and shot into the passage.

The Golden Eagle Race member's speed far exceeded that of the Vajra Demon and the Poison God Race member, crossing the passage in less than twenty seconds.

Overwhelming attacks fell again, but the Golden Eagle Race member was too fast and dodged the vast majority of them.

But then, the Golden Eagle Race member seemed to hit something and was forcibly stopped.

After another round of concentrated attacks, the Golden Eagle Race member also met his end.

From the other end of the passage, Lin Moyu gathered more information.

"There should be people lying in ambush at the other end."

"And there are many of them. Who exactly are they? What do they want?"

"Why has the second passage lost its effect…"

Amidst his thoughts, hundreds of Skeleton Divine Generals appeared around Lin Moyu, surrounding him in the center as they entered the second passage together.

Chapter 1275: Boring Illusion, Deserving Ox Demon Race

Undying Flames ignited, and the white bones of the Skeleton Divine Generals reflected an even brighter light, illuminating the passage.

Simultaneously, many shadows were cast in the passage.

Some were projected on the walls, others on the ground.

It looked as if countless people were walking.

The second passage was different from the first.

There was nothing on the walls of the first passage.

Many runes were carved on the walls of the second passage.

Lin Moyu didn't recognize these runes, but that didn't stop him from appreciating them.

In his eyes, these runes were like dancing butterflies, containing an indescribable beauty.

Every stroke of every rune was carved deeply into the stone.

To be able to carve runes on such solid black stone, the carver's strength was beyond his own.

Suddenly, the runes lit up.

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned; this situation once again exceeded his expectations.

The three Revenants had entered one after another earlier without activating the runes. Why did the runes suddenly activate when it was his turn?

Lin Moyu thought about the situation in the data; the key to passing the second trial was willpower.

The data didn't state it explicitly, just those few words. The key to passing the first trial was speed, also just one word in Chinese.

This was a characteristic of the human race; to cultivate their own, the human high-level officials made the mission data vague.

The original intention was for everyone to explore for themselves and not rely on others.

Although this would lead to many more unnecessary casualties, those who could successfully complete the mission and pass were true powerhouses, and clever ones at that.

Lin Moyu expressed understanding but also helplessness.

In the human race's Azure Dragon Star Domain, there was a saying, just eight words, which perfectly explained the rules set by the human high-level officials.

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest."

Lin Moyu muttered to himself, silently mulling over the phrase.

Although it was somewhat cruel, it indeed contained truth.

A mysterious law emerged in the passage, quickly covering most of it and enveloping Lin Moyu within.

Lin Moyu felt himself suddenly become weak; all laws and all power were rapidly diminishing.

Panic couldn't help but emerge in his heart.

But in the next second, this trace of panic was wiped away by Lin Moyu.

"An illusion!"

Lin Moyu already understood what was happening and wasn't panicked at all.

"No wonder the keyword for the second trial is willpower. Let me see what kind of illusion this is."

A familiar starry sky appeared before his eyes, with stellar essence fire burning fiercely.

Blue Flame Star was not far from him, manifesting its own power.

Zhu Qiwu was not by his side; he was all alone.

His power weakened, his spells disappeared, and the massive heat of Blue Flame Star was almost enough to burn him to ashes.

Sweat constantly poured from his body, and breathing became extremely difficult.

At this moment, the Abyssal Dragon Demon appeared nearby with a sinister grin.

No spells, no power, and no Zhu Qiwu.

Encountering a clone of the Abyssal Dragon Demon in front of Blue Flame Star, he would surely die.

Lin Moyu should have been flustered, but he wasn't; he just quietly watched the Abyssal Dragon Demon.

The Abyssal Dragon Demon roared, and a terrifying aura swept over like a gale blowing on Lin Moyu, as if it were going to tear him to shreds.

Sigh.

He let out a long sigh.

Lin Moyu had already seen through this illusion.

There are many types of illusions; most search for weaknesses deep within one's soul, finding what one fears most, then magnifying and exaggerating it before presenting it.

Causing fear, affecting the soul, and ultimately resulting in death within the illusion.

But from the time Lin Moyu began his journey until now, things that could make him afraid were almost non-existent.
