Chapter 2474

It was not a Divine Talisman, certainly not a modern rune, nor was it an array.

Lin Moyu analyzed the pattern while simultaneously analyzing the bluestone box; not only was the pattern strange, but the bluestone box itself was also very peculiar.

"Looking at the style of this box, it doesn't look like something from the Origin Continent."

"Could it be that it comes from the Blood Rat Realm?"

A not-so-certain guess popped into Lin Moyu's mind, "If it came from the Blood Rat Realm, then bringing this item across worlds to the Origin Continent must have a purpose."

Lin Moyu didn't know how intelligent those creatures from the Blood Rat Realm were, but they certainly wouldn't be too stupid. Since they had brought their own things here, they definitely had ill intentions.

Since it was an item from the Blood Rat Realm, Lin Moyu understood that he wouldn't be able to figure anything out. With a thought, the Five Elements Sword Demon slashed out with a sword.

The power of the sword light reached the Dao Venerable 7th Realm and struck the bluestone box fiercely.

Lin Moyu had no qualms; he knew that the bluestone box before him was not a real bluestone box, but rather something evolved from the rules of the Ancient Battlefield.

The real bluestone box must have existed, but that was just in the prehistoric era, not the present.

As for whether it still exists now, Lin Moyu was not sure.

The bluestone box shattered under the sword light, and the contents were instantly revealed.

Lin Moyu's expression changed abruptly, his eyes revealing a look of shock.

Since he began his cultivation, very few things had been able to shock Lin Moyu, but this time, he could hardly control himself.

Inside the bluestone box was a mass of blood. This mass of blood was black.

Lin Moyu had seen plenty of black blood, but only one kind of black blood had left a deep impression on him.

That was the black blood from the Black Blood Great World in the Great World.

Every kind of black blood was different; their texture, shape, aura, and so on, all had subtle differences.

Lin Moyu was certain he wouldn't mistake it; the black blood stored in the bluestone box was exactly the same as the black blood in the Great World.

"Isn't the black blood that polluted the Great World from the Black Blood Great World?"

"The Black Blood Great World is merely a Boundary Sea World; compared to the Origin Continent, it is nothing."

"But why would black blood appear here, and be brought over by the Bloody Legion?"

This world had a clear hierarchy, from low to high, layer by layer, with strict grading.

The Small World where Lin Moyu originated was actually just an independent space within a Great World, a dust-like world nurtured by the Great World.

And the Great World was merely a Boundary Sea World drifting in the Boundary Sea.

Above it, there was the Origin Continent.

Although the Origin Continent was named a continent, it was actually a world—a world with its own complete Dao.

Small Worlds were attached to Great Worlds, and Great Worlds were attached to the Origin Continent.

The Bloody Legion came from the Blood Rat Realm, and the Blood Rat Realm was an existence on the same level as the Origin Continent.

Originally, in Lin Moyu's view, the Black Blood Great World was merely an existence on par with a Great World, a hundred thousand miles away from the Origin Continent…

This was a fundamental difference. As a Boundary Sea World, no matter how strong the Black Blood Great World was, or how difficult the black blood was to deal with, it was still just a Boundary Sea World and could not be compared to the Origin Continent at all.

At this moment, Lin Moyu's thoughts were like lightning, and his past experiences replayed in his mind like flashes.

Every detail from those years appeared at this moment.

Lin Moyu suddenly thought of an incident that had occurred in the past—an incident he had long ago cast into the deepest part of his memory, but which was now resurfacing.

Back then, while in a Secret Realm, he had used an Origin Technique.

At that time, a sword-wielding powerhouse had crossed time and space to launch an attack on him.

It was precisely that incident that made him realize for the first time the power of the Black Blood Great World.

However, he was too weak back then, and his definition of "powerful" was not very clear.

Later, as his strength increased, he no longer took attacks of that level seriously, and gradually, he stopped thinking about it.

Thinking back on it now, he suddenly realized that this matter seemed a bit off.

The true source of the attack did not come from the vanished Black Blood Great World, nor from the Origin Continent, but from another world on the same level as the Origin Continent.

In other words, the opponent had crossed a world like the Origin Continent to launch an attack on him.

For an attack coming across worlds to still possess such offensive power, that was a bit frightening.

"The black blood comes from a world on the same level as the Origin Continent."

"And that Black Blood Great World which collided with the Great World also contained a bit of the black blood's power."

"The black blood has a long history; in the prehistoric era, the Blood Rat Realm brought the black blood here. What on earth are they trying to do!"

Lin Moyu realized that the existence who set the rules for the Ancient Battlefield was using some method to tell him about the history of the past.

After so many years, it seemed he still wanted to express some things.

But these things seemed unable to be stated clearly.

Suddenly, a powerful aura rose from a distant place.

The black blood in the bluestone box rose with a boom, and the originally large mass of black blood rapidly shrank, in an instant remaining only the size of a fist.

The black blood shrank, but the power contained within it did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it became more concentrated.

The black color turned into a stream of light and flew toward the distance; its speed was so fast that even if Lin Moyu wanted to stop it, he would be too late.

"Go!"

Lin Moyu flapped his Wings of Time and followed quickly.

Chapter 3125: A Task of Life or Death

The speed of the black blood was too fast. Even using his full strength, Lin Moyu could only watch helplessly as the black blood got further and further away from him, eventually disappearing completely from his sight.

However, Lin Moyu did not give up; he continued to track it along the trajectory of the black blood's flight.

Since the Great World, the black blood had formed a huge karma with him.

He hadn't expected to see it here, so naturally, he could not let it go.

At this moment, the golden paper containing the mission flew out automatically.

The pattern on it underwent a new change, and at the same time, Lin Moyu received new information.

[Second stage of the mission completed. You may choose to leave to obtain the reward, or continue to execute the next stage of the mission.]

[If you continue to execute the next stage of the mission, previous mission rewards will not be retained if the mission fails, but rewards will be doubled if the mission succeeds.]

Lin Moyu didn't even think about it and directly chose to continue executing the mission.

He hadn't considered giving up before, and now that he had seen the black blood, he would give up even less; he had to figure this matter out.

What exactly happened in the prehistoric era, and what relationship did his Great World have with the prehistoric era?

After Lin Moyu accepted the mission, a map reappeared on the golden paper.

The previous red dots had disappeared and turned into three black dots.

The black dots were moving rapidly on the map, and the targets of the three black dots were surprisingly the same.

The black dot on the far left of the map was precisely the black blood that had escaped from in front of him.

In other words, the three black dots marked on the golden paper were three masses of black blood.

These three masses of black blood were going to converge somewhere.

At this moment, another piece of information arrived.

[Kill the Black Blood Sword Saint.]

[You may choose to quit; quitting will result in the loss of all rewards.]

A look of solemnity appeared in Lin Moyu's eyes.

The information contained in the mission was substantial; the fewer the words, the bigger the matter.

If he chose to quit, then all previous rewards would be lost, but there would be no punishment.

If he did not quit, he would have to complete the task of killing the Black Blood Sword Saint.

There were only two results: either successfully kill the Black Blood Sword Saint, or be killed by the Black Blood Sword Saint. This was a task of life or death.

There was only one chance to quit; if he missed this chance, he would have no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.

If it were someone else, they might have considered it, but Lin Moyu didn't need to consider it at all.

"Then let's see what the Black Blood Sword Saint is like!"

Matters seemed to be becoming more and more complex, and also more and more interesting.

Outer Domain Celestial Gods, the Blood Rat Realm, and now black blood from the 'Black Blood Great World' had appeared.

Lin Moyu temporarily called it the Black Blood Great World; what it was specifically called, he did not yet know.

The golden paper map in his hand provided accurate guidance; although the black blood was fast, its direction was always grasped by Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu did not know how far he had flown, only that he kept flying forward at maximum speed. Judging from the map, the distance between him and the black blood not only did not get closer, but was getting further and further away.

Half a day later, the three masses of black blood on the map finally converged together.

The three black dots became one; this black dot was very large.

After they converged, they did not move again, and the distance between Lin Moyu and them was rapidly shortening.

Lin Moyu's battle intent was boiling, becoming stronger and stronger.

The mission was to kill the Black Blood Sword Saint, so there would inevitably be a great battle.

As the distance got closer, Lin Moyu felt the aura of the Divine Talisman Army.

Several flying ships flew in from the distance, quickly overtaking him and flying toward the place where the black blood was; in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared.

The speed of the Divine Talisman Army's flying ships was extremely fast, far exceeding Lin Moyu's.

Each flying ship could accommodate ten thousand divine soldiers.

From what he had just seen, at least ten flying ships had passed, which meant that at least one hundred thousand Divine Talisman Army soldiers had been dispatched.

One hundred thousand Divine Talisman Army soldiers were almost the entire force in this Secret Realm military camp.

"The Divine Talisman Army, the entire army has been dispatched!"

Lin Moyu flapped his Wings of Time with all his might, simultaneously unfolding his Great Dao of Space True Body, using the power of space, wanting to form the Power of Time and Space to increase his speed to the limit.

But he discovered that the space within the Secret Realm had become incomparably stable; his Great Dao of Space could not shake the space within the Secret Realm.

"The space here has been specially reinforced, and the effect of the Great Dao of Space is greatly weakened."

"No wonder when the Five Elements Sword Demon acted earlier, not even a space crack appeared."

With no other choice, Lin Moyu could only continue to use the Wings of Time to fly.

He had pushed his speed to the limit, but compared to the flying ships, it was still too slow.

Fortunately, he had the map in hand, so at least he wouldn't get lost.

After flying for quite some time, he finally approached the destination.

Suddenly, a black light appeared in the distance, followed by a terrifying sword aura that swept over.

Lin Moyu instinctively flapped his Wings of Time to dodge, and the sword aura flew past him.

"So fast!" Lin Moyu thought his reaction was fast enough, but he had almost failed to avoid it. The speed of the sword aura far exceeded his imagination.

This sword aura was very strong; purely in terms of power, it had already reached the Dao Venerable 7th Realm.

Then, a massive power erupted; Lin Moyu knew that the battle had already begun ahead.

He immediately rushed over, and from afar, he saw the battlefield.

Tens of thousands of Divine Talisman Army soldiers had formed a siege circle and were launching an encirclement attack.

The divine light was brilliant, the runes soared into the sky, and the battle formation formed by the Divine Talisman Army was extremely powerful.
