Chapter 2460

Lin Moyu smiled slightly; he didn't dislike this place at all.

He lifted his foot and stomped down.

A burst of power erupted from the sole of his foot, driving straight into the ground.

A muffled thud echoed, and a footprint appeared on the earth.

"As expected, this land has undergone countless wars. I don't know how many times it has been plowed, nor how many times it has been soaked in the blood of the powerful, causing a qualitative change.

"Its strength likely exceeds that of the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm; destroying it would be incredibly difficult.

"Furthermore, the earth is filled with the obsessions of battle intent, making it unsuitable for refining even if one wanted to use it for forging."

Although the earth here was extremely sturdy, even surpassing some materials of the Dao Venerable Realm, it was not suitable for refining due to its overly complex nature.

Moreover, Lin Moyu knew that he was currently only in the low-tier area.

When he reached the mid-tier and high-tier areas, the earth would only be sturdier, as the blood of the powerful there was stronger, sufficient to cause further qualitative changes to the land.

Lin Moyu observed his surroundings. Not far from him, a vortex floated, emitting black light that complemented the dark red earth and exuded a hint of bloodthirst.

Lin Moyu knew this was the entrance to one of the Secret Realms.

On this Ancient Battlefield, there were countless such Secret Realms.

Each one looked the same from the outside; only by entering could one know what was inside.

It might be empty, or it might be extremely dangerous.

Some Secret Realms were even teleportation arrays that could lead to other areas.

Lin Moyu approached the vortex but did not enter. His gaze turned to the ground below.

The soil beneath the vortex had a subtle difference compared to the rest of the land.

Ordinary people could not perceive this, but Lin Moyu could.

The soil beneath the vortex was darker in color, and the battle intent and obsession radiating from it were much stronger.

"If I'm not mistaken, someone must have died here back then.

"The Secret Realm before me evolved from the death of that person.

"What is inside the Secret Realm depends on that person's experiences and personality.

"If they were a warlike person, the danger of the Secret Realm would increase significantly; conversely, it would be much safer."

Lin Moyu cast a ball of Undying Flame, which landed on the ground beneath the vortex.

Origin-level spell: Resurrection of the Dead!

By using Resurrection of the Dead, Lin Moyu wanted to try and see if he could resurrect the powerful beings from the prehistoric era.

Although he knew they had already turned to ashes, what if?

Moreover, the earth was soaked in their blood; even though the blood had fused with the land and undergone a qualitative change, what if?

If he could resurrect the prehistoric powerhouses, many mysteries could be solved, and he wouldn't have to rack his brain guessing one by one.

The Undying Flame burned fiercely on the ground, and Lin Moyu's eyes brightened slightly. "There's a chance!"

If the spell had failed, the Undying Flame would not have lasted this long.

Just as he felt there was a chance, the ground suddenly shook, and a massive amount of blood-colored energy emerged, transforming into a divine dragon that charged at Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu reacted extremely quickly, instantly retreating hundreds of meters to dodge the blood-colored divine dragon.

The dragon's tail swept across the Undying Flame, and the flames were instantly extinguished.

The blood-colored divine dragon hovered in mid-air, its pair of blood-red eyes staring fixedly at Lin Moyu, filled with rage.

"Blaspheming the heroic spirits is unforgivable!"

A deafening roar erupted as the blood-colored divine dragon charged at Lin Moyu again, spewing a sky full of Dragon Breath.

Lin Moyu did not dodge this time; his figure instantly enlarged, manifesting his True Body of Power Dao.

He grew to a hundred meters in an instant, his life force roaring as he threw a punch.

This punch was like thunder, piercing through the Dragon Breath and slamming heavily into the head of the blood-colored divine dragon.

With a bang, the dragon exploded, shattered by a single punch.

Lin Moyu shook his fist with a hint of mockery. "A mere Dao Venerable 3rd Realm creature dares to act so presumptuously!

"Blaspheming heroic spirits? What do prehistoric heroic spirits have to do with me?

"Besides, I don't even know if they are friend or foe, so where is the blasphemy?"

This blood-colored divine dragon was actually formed from the battle intent and obsessions within the Ancient Battlefield, but its power was weak, only at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, so it naturally could not withstand Lin Moyu's punch.

What Lin Moyu was truly curious about was how it managed to extinguish the Undying Flame!

Chapter 3104: The Crack in the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury

The Undying Flame being extinguished made Lin Moyu feel strange: although the Undying Flame was visible, it was formless and intangible; normally, it shouldn't have been extinguished.

The Resurrection of the Dead spell had not failed, but it hadn't succeeded either.

Just as Lin Moyu was pondering, the ground suddenly shook, and the bloody aura intensified several times over. Previously, the bloody aura was faint, but now it suddenly became dense.

Wisps of blood energy spread from the ground, rapidly forming warriors clad in armor.

They wore identical armor, were of similar height, and carried identical standard-issue weapons.

"Prehistoric soldiers!" Lin Moyu's gaze narrowed.

There were over a hundred soldiers appearing before him, all possessing the aura of the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm. A hundred soldiers forming a battle formation were enough to contend with the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

In the Origin Continent, a hundred Dao Venerable 3rd Realm cultivators would normally be unable to defeat a Dao Venerable 4th Realm cultivator.

However, on a battlefield, it was a different story.

The soldiers could fuse their power together, relying on the battle formation to unleash strength far beyond their own, capable of fighting across realms.

This was the significance of an army.

Lin Moyu naturally knew this, and he wouldn't treat the hundred soldiers before him as mere Dao Venerable 3rd Realm cultivators.

"Blaspheming the heroic spirits, you deserve to die!"

A roar echoed as the soldiers shouted in unison, simultaneously swinging their weapons and slashing toward Lin Moyu.

Streaks of pitch-black blade light tore through the sky.

With his life force roaring, Lin Moyu threw another punch.

His entire body's life force transformed into a divine dragon, charging toward these soldiers.

His physical body had already reached the Dao Venerable 5th Realm, and with the Dao of Strength gathering his entire life force, this punch of Lin Moyu's also reached the Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

The pitch-black blade light was shattered by the life force dragon, which then charged into the group of soldiers, crushing them.

In an instant, the hundred soldiers were completely pulverized and vanished from the world.

Lin Moyu suddenly looked up, staring into the distance.

An invisible force came from afar, locking onto him from a distance.

More powerful auras were being transmitted from afar, and in significant numbers; soldiers from the mid-tier area above the Dao Venerable 4th Realm were coming.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and he quickly retracted his aura and turned to leave.

He now understood what had happened and why the Undying Flame had been extinguished, and why the spell could not succeed.

There were countless powerful beings buried here, shattered to pieces.

Almost every inch of the land contained more than one drop of blood.

The area his Undying Flame had covered might have contained the blood of several or even dozens of powerful beings.

Naturally, Resurrection of the Dead would fail; it simply didn't know which one to resurrect.

Moreover, these powerhouses were too ancient, so ancient that they could no longer be traced back to their origins.

This Ancient Battlefield gave Lin Moyu a strange feeling; it appeared to have formed countless Secret Realms, but the entire Ancient Battlefield seemed to be a single entity.

First, a blood-colored divine dragon appeared, then soldiers, and then more powerful soldiers came from afar.

His single ball of Undying Flame was like poking a hornet's nest.

"This Ancient Battlefield is a bit strange!

"Before figuring out the root cause, I should be careful."

Lin Moyu traveled further and further away, leaving far behind.

Finally, the feeling of being locked onto disappeared, and Lin Moyu knew he was safe, so he slowed down.

He didn't stop; he walked a long way, passing more than ten Secret Realms along the way without entering any.

He had no interest in the Secret Realms of the low-tier area; even if he were to enter, he would start from the mid-tier area.

He was currently looking for the path to the mid-tier area.

After the lock disappeared, Lin Moyu began releasing his Skeleton Divine Generals. With ten thousand Skeleton Divine Generals helping him search, the efficiency increased significantly.

According to the information he obtained, there were passages between the two areas.

As long as one could find a passage, one could travel to another area.

There were many passages; some could be traversed directly, while others had obstacles. To pass through, one had to resolve these obstacles.

Lin Moyu had extraordinary experience in finding such passages.

The aura that had locked onto him earlier should have come from the mid-tier area, so that direction became the focus of Lin Moyu's search.

After the lock disappeared, he continued moving in that direction.

The Ancient Battlefield was vast. Although there were tens of thousands of people who entered, once they were inside, it was like sand scattered in the sea; it was not easy to run into anyone.

Especially in the low-tier area, there were even fewer people.

Most people's cultivation was concentrated between the Dao Venerable 4th and 6th Realms; the mid-tier area had the most people, while the low-tier area had relatively fewer.

The high-tier area had even fewer, and as for the entry-level outer area, it could be said to be the area with the fewest people.

Just half a day later, the Skeleton Divine Generals sent information that one of them had encountered a spatial barrier.

Lin Moyu rushed over. Where the Skeleton Divine General had encountered the spatial barrier, there was a huge crack, about a hundred meters wide and bottomless.

Powerful forces surged out from the crack, and the bloody smell here was much denser than in other places; standing at the edge of the crack, one could even hear the sound of waves.

Lin Moyu strained his eyes to look at the bottom of the crack, but still could not see the situation at the bottom.

However, judging from the vaguely heard sound of waves and the dense bloody smell, Lin Moyu guessed that there might be a blood river at the bottom of the crack.

Invisible forces spread up from the crack, shooting straight into the sky, becoming a spatial barrier.

Possessing the Great Dao of Space, he could feel the fluctuations coming from space.

The spatial barrier was not strong; he could break it with his full power.

In other words, he could enter the crack or head to the other side of the crack.

If he wasn't mistaken, the other side of the crack was the mid-tier area.

However, Lin Moyu did not make a move because he felt something unusual within the spatial barrier.

Lin Moyu placed one hand on the invisible spatial barrier, eyes slightly closed. "The spatial barrier contains a powerful will.

"This will should come from a terrifying powerhouse, at least a powerful existence of the Dao Venerable 9th Realm.

"If I shatter the spatial barrier, it might attract its attention, leading to some bad things.

"Moreover… there seem to be some not-so-good things inside the crack."

After thinking it over, Lin Moyu decided to give up the idea of taking the unconventional route and instead look for a normal passage.

Sometimes it is indeed necessary to take risks, but risks cannot be brainless. Once brainless, it is not called an adventure, but recklessness, and the result is often death.

He had the Skeleton Divine Generals explore along the crack to both sides, and soon they found a normal passage.

Lin Moyu saw a stone bridge; the stone bridge connected the two ends of the crack, forming a passage. Stationed on the stone bridge was an army.
