Chapter 2463

The 'Shi' and 'San' on the seal were already understood, but what did the 'Twelve' on the side of the seal signify?

"Normally, the bottom of a seal should bear the user's name, but I have no name here, only a number."

"Based on this inference, Twelve should be a number; I am number Twelve."

"Then, does it mean that before me, eleven others obtained seals?"

"But in the information I obtained, there was no mention of the seals. Does this mean those eleven people didn't reveal the information about the seals?"

"Are those people also among those present for the opening of the Ancient Battlefield Secret Treasury this time?"

Lin Moyu felt things were becoming more and more interesting. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

To clearly have discovered something yet not speak of it—there must be a secret involved.

Holding the seal in his hand, Lin Moyu did not put it away. He then dispatched Skeleton Divine Generals to begin exploring the Mid-tier Area.

Since he had obtained the seal and become a member of the Divine Talisman Army, it meant this seal would definitely be useful in the Ancient Battlefield, so he couldn't put it away.

Because so much time had passed, to unravel the secrets within, he had to pay attention to every detail.

The Mid-tier Area was very quiet. After most cultivators entered, they would head into nearby Secret Realms to explore.

As a result, other people were rarely seen in the areas outside the Secret Realms.

The Skeleton Divine Generals saw many Secret Realms along the way but ignored them; their task was to find the path leading to the High-tier Area.

The High-tier Area was Lin Moyu's goal for this trip, and it was also the place where he was most likely to obtain the treasure box.

Roar!

The roar of a wild beast echoed through the battlefield, and a powerful force swept across a large area.

A Skeleton Divine General was suddenly killed by a monster that rushed out from a Secret Realm.

The entire process happened without warning and came incredibly suddenly. The Skeleton Divine General didn't even have time to react before being slashed into pieces.

Chapter 3108: The Ten-Man Commander's New Task

Lin Moyu's gaze narrowed slightly. As this Skeleton Divine General passed a Secret Realm, a monster suddenly rushed out and chopped it into pieces as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Lin Moyu immediately connected to the Skeleton Divine General's vision, while the Skeleton Divine General was also resurrected under the effect of Undead.

At the moment of resurrection, Lin Moyu saw the opponent's appearance.

There was no Soul Fire, just a mass of liquid.

What the Skeleton Divine General's vision saw was different from what was seen with the naked eye.

They only saw outlines, or souls.

In the Skeleton Divine General's vision, the opponent was a mass of liquid.

Then, a bright light flashed before its eyes as a sharp, cold glint suddenly emerged from the liquid, and the Skeleton Divine General was slashed into pieces again.

The Skeleton Divine General was at the Dao Venerable 4th Realm. To be able to kill it so cleanly, the opponent must be at least at the Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

While connecting to the Skeleton Divine General's vision, Lin Moyu had already deployed his Wings of Time and rushed over.

In the Ancient Battlefield, one could not fly high in the sky. The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and beneath them were pitch-black winds. These winds could corrode bones and wither souls; even those at the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable could not withstand them for long.

Lin Moyu could only fly at a low altitude, no more than ten meters, weaving rapidly through the dense forest.

Fortunately, the place where the Skeleton Divine General died was not far, and Lin Moyu arrived at the destination in a short while.

He saw the Secret Realm from a distance. Outside the Secret Realm, there was a mass of black-red blood.

This mass of blood was about the size of a human head and floated quietly outside the Secret Realm.

It was this mass of black-red blood that had killed the Skeleton Divine General.

To see more clearly, the dead Skeleton Divine General was resurrected once again through Undead.

The moment the Skeleton Divine General resurrected, the black-red blood immediately reacted.

It instantly transformed into a monster. This monster was blood-colored all over, and its appearance was almost identical to the rat monsters seen on the Bluestone Bridge.

However, its realm was higher and its power stronger.

The blades on the backs of its hands were sharper than those seen before, and the pair of blades on its back had become two pairs, but it had no wings.

A cold light erupted, and before the Skeleton Divine General could react, it had already been slashed into pieces. Then, the monster reverted to the form of fresh blood, floating in mid-air as if nothing had happened.

The entire process took less than a second from start to finish.

Lin Moyu saw it clearly. "It really is the Bloody Legion. The Bloody Legion is not only beneath the cracks but also inside the Secret Realms."

"Shapeshifting with blood, its realm is the Dao Venerable 5th Realm, stronger than the batch at the Bluestone Bridge."

"But it has no wings, so it's not as good as that winged fellow."

"Since the Bloody Legion appeared from the Secret Realm, does this mean there are more members of the Bloody Legion inside?"

While Lin Moyu was pondering, the entrance to the Secret Realm suddenly lit up, and the scent of blood grew intense.

Then, another mass of black-red blood flowed out from it. This mass of black-red blood was considerably larger than the previous one.

After flowing out, it quickly split into four identical blood masses.

The blood masses gradually spread out, circling the entrance of the Secret Realm like soldiers. Sometimes they would fly up into the trees and then fly back down.

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. "Are they patrolling?"

The movements of the blood masses made Lin Moyu feel as if they were soldiers on patrol.

At that moment, a powerful aura pounced from afar.

An army flew through the air at an astonishing speed.

They didn't care at all about the soul-withering and bone-corroding black winds in the sky, standing tall in mid-air.

The black-red blood masses reacted like bristling fur, evolving into five Rat-like Monsters to confront the army.

This arriving army was just a small squad. The leader was a powerhouse at the Dao Venerable 6th Realm, and the ten soldiers behind him were all at the Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

The armor they wore was exactly the same as those soldiers on the Bluestone Bridge; they were all members of the Divine Talisman Army.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out. The leading officer raised his war blade and pointed downward, and the ten soldiers behind him simultaneously raised their spears to launch an attack.

Powerful force descended from the sky like meteors.

The five Rat-like Monsters also launched their attacks in a counter-offensive.

The ten soldiers formed a simple battle formation, which augmented their combat power to a certain extent. Combined with their numerical advantage, they held the upper hand from the start of the clash.

In just half a minute, the five Rat-like Monsters were killed, turning into thick blood that fell to the earth.

The entire process was very smooth, but a trace of shock appeared in Lin Moyu's eyes.

He was shocked not by anything else, but by where these Divine Talisman Army members had come from.

Before they appeared, even he hadn't been able to detect them.

If even his own spiritual sense couldn't detect them, then others certainly wouldn't be able to find them.

Furthermore, the Divine Talisman Army could fly in the sky, ignoring the soul-withering and bone-corroding black winds, which was also a point of shock for Lin Moyu.

At this moment, the officer turned his head to look towards Lin Moyu.

"I've been discovered!" Lin Moyu did not hide and walked out from behind the tree.

The officer's gaze fell on Lin Moyu, seemingly sizing him up.

Lin Moyu had a feeling that the other party wasn't looking at him, but at the seal in his hand.

While the officer was sizing up Lin Moyu, Lin Moyu was also sizing him up.

Although the armor on the officer looked similar to that of the officer guarding the Bluestone Bridge, differences could still be seen in the fine details.

Although this officer before him was more powerful, reaching the Dao Venerable 6th Realm—one realm higher than the one guarding the Bluestone Bridge—

In terms of the armor's exquisiteness, the one at the Bluestone Bridge was still superior.

Moreover, Lin Moyu also saw that the collar of this officer's armor was engraved with the character for 'Ten'.

On the collar of the one at the Bluestone Bridge, the character for 'Ten Thousand' was engraved.

Lin Moyu immediately understood. This Dao Venerable 6th Realm before him was a Ten-Man Commander, while the one at the Bluestone Bridge was a Ten-Thousand-Man Commander.

This also meant that a higher realm did not necessarily mean a higher officer rank.

A moment later, the Ten-Man Commander sheathed his war blade and then beckoned to Lin Moyu, signaling him to come up.

Lin Moyu flew up with doubt. The sky was full of black winds, and he remained vigilant.

However, strangely enough, the black winds suddenly dissipated as they approached him. The seal in his hand glowed slightly, and it was this faint light that neutralized the black winds.

Even Lin Moyu hadn't expected that the seal in his hand was actually a flight pass for the Ancient Battlefield. This was something even the major royal families didn't know; otherwise, it would have been written in the records long ago.

If one could fly, moving around here would be much more convenient.

Lin Moyu came before the Ten-Man Commander and gave him a military salute.

The Ten-Man Commander signaled for Lin Moyu to give him the seal. Lin Moyu didn't doubt him and directly handed the seal over.

The Ten-Man Commander took the seal and then placed it against his chest, making contact with his armor.

The armor immediately lit up, and the seal also began to sparkle.

This continued for several seconds before the Ten-Man Commander returned the seal to Lin Moyu.

There was no change to the seal, and Lin Moyu didn't know what he had done.

Upon taking back the seal, a new piece of information was transmitted.

[Exterminate the Bloody Legion in Secret Realm No. 36653. Rewards will be granted upon completion.]

Chapter 3109: Since That's the Case, Then I Shall Satisfy You

Looking at the information from the seal, Lin Moyu was slightly stunned.

The difficulty of this task had clearly exceeded his realm.

He was only at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, but although the number of Bloody Legion members in the Secret Realm was unknown, any one of them was at least at the Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

How was he supposed to fight?

However, the task was not mandatory; he could choose not to accept it, and there would be no punishment.

Lin Moyu guessed that anyone else would definitely not accept it; accepting the task was equivalent to seeking death.

Those who had obtained the seals before would surely have selectively accepted tasks, only taking those that could be completed safely and smoothly.

Of course, such suitable tasks were surely not many.

And what was the mechanism for triggering tasks? Lin Moyu was not yet very clear.

Perhaps if he missed this task, he would have to wait a long time for the next one.

Based on all of this, Lin Moyu made a decision: he accepted the task.

At the moment he accepted the task, the Ten-Man Commander suddenly raised his war blade, pointing it straight at the sky.

The ten soldiers behind him also raised their spears, pointing them straight at the sky.

The entire process happened without a sound, appearing somewhat eerie yet making one feel a certain surge of hot-bloodedness.

Lin Moyu could imagine that if this were in prehistoric times when the members of the Divine Talisman Army were still alive, the action just now might have been accompanied by a roar to shake the soul.

But now, the sound had faded away with the passage of time.

In the dark clouds in the sky, a bolt of thunder suddenly flashed.

Within the lightning, an exquisite set of armor and a long spear emerged.

The armor landed directly on Lin Moyu, and the long spear also came into his hand.

The moment he put on the armor and grasped the spear, Lin Moyu felt his power increase drastically. Although he was still only at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, he could exert the combat power of the Dao Venerable 5th Realm.

This armor and spear brought him an astonishing augmentation.

Not just the armor, the spear was equally miraculous.

Lin Moyu felt as if the spear were an extension of his own arm. To have such a feeling without even refining it was truly extraordinary.

Lin Moyu felt the power being transmitted from the armor and the spear and murmured to himself.

"This is… the power of the Great Dao of Time!"
