Chapter 407

If he gets stuck halfway, he will be in an extremely awkward dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

Dongfang Yao said, "I can open the barrier."

Lin Moyu immediately pulled his hand back. "Open it quickly."

Dongfang Yao was already doing so, continuously casting the unique seals of the Dongfang Family toward the barrier.

Dongfang Yao's eyes showed even more urgency than Lin Moyu's. "Give me some time."

"How long?"

Dongfang Yao said, "One minute."

"Alright!"

There was no need for idle chatter; he would strive for that one minute.

As for whether he could actually secure it, that was a matter for later.

The shadows on the six mountain peaks were already pouncing toward the Undead Legion.

Each shadow was an existence of at least level 80.

They were all powerhouses from the great war of that era, killed by forbidden skills and eventually turned into corpses.

Although they had become corpses, they still retained most of their former power.

At the very least, they were not something Lin Moyu could deal with right now.

Relying on the Undead Legion, Lin Moyu could only stall, but he had no certainty as to how long he could hold out.

These terrifying existences that had turned into corpses had no life, could not be killed, were immune to Curse, and had lost their souls.

Lin Moyu could never understand what kind of existence this was; it was too terrifying.

Many of his skills had lost their effectiveness.

The sky darkened as a shadow reached above his head.

It exhaled a scorching breath, and the skeletons began to burst into flames and burn.

"Dragon race, Dragon Breath!" Lin Moyu's eyes narrowed as he instantly recognized that the shadow came from the dragon race.

Dragon Breath was its ability when it was alive; after turning into a corpse, this ability was still retained.

And it had become even more terrifying.

The Dragon Breath carried a potent Corpse Poison, and the skeletons were poisoned one after another.

The skeletons also began to counterattack, and the light of Elemental Explosion flashed continuously on the shadow.

Sharp arrows tore through the sky, striking its body and making clanging sounds.

Its defense was too strong; whether it was Elemental Explosion or the arrows from the Sharpshooter, they could only cause insignificant damage.

The shadow continued to spew Dragon Breath, and the ground shook violently.

Another terrifying corpse arrived.

It stood over a hundred meters tall; in the pitch-black world, one could not even see its full form.

Judging only by its silhouette, Lin Moyu discerned that this was a demon from the Abyss.

As for whether it was a top-tier demon or a Demon King, it was impossible to judge.

It slammed both hands onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble, and countless skeletons were blown away.

Then, countless thin red threads flew out from the ground, wrapping around these skeletons.

The skeletons exploded in mid-air, tearing apart.

Lin Moyu felt a jolt of numbness; these skeletons had actually died.

Under the opponent's attack, his talent had actually lost its effect.

Lin Moyu suddenly realized that talents were not omnipotent.

He had talents, and perhaps others did too; perhaps some talents could produce this kind of effect.

The opponent kept slamming the ground, and batches were blown away and killed.

Only 5 seconds had passed since the battle began, and at least a thousand skeletons had died under the opponent's attacks.

The rest were all heavily injured; if it weren't for the Lich General's rapid healing, the Undead Legion would likely have been wiped out within these 5 seconds.

However, as the number of skeletons dwindled, the time they could hold out would inevitably plummet.

One minute; they could not hold out that long.

Lin Moyu gritted his teeth, the back of his hand suddenly grew hot, and burst with brilliant light.

He used the Strong Soldier skill, which he had not used in a long time.

This was Lin Moyu's most powerful skill, his trump card.

[Strong Soldier: Within 30 seconds, all base attributes of the user and their summons are increased by 200%, and all damage caused by attacks is increased by an additional 500%. Cooldown: 1 hour.]

The most powerful aspect of the Strong Soldier skill was that it increased base attributes, specifically the base attributes after talent bonuses.

The Lich General's enhancement skill provided a secondary boost on top of those base attributes.

Under this dual effect, the skeletons' attributes reached their peak.

Previously, after talent bonuses, the level 42 Skeleton Berserker had base attributes of 130,000 for each stat, which suddenly increased to 390,000 under the effect of Strong Soldier.

Coupled with the Lich General's Legion Enhancement skill, a single attribute reached a staggering 546,000, and the total attributes exceeded 2 million.

With attributes like these, plus an additional 500% increase to all damage, and the Skeleton Berserker's own skills, which dealt 500% damage based on strength…

Even Lin Moyu could not calculate how strong the Skeleton Berserker's attack power was at this moment.

Regardless, at the very least, their defense had increased significantly.

It was not just the Skeleton Berserker; the Skeleton Archmage, the Skeleton Marksman, and even he himself were the same.

Within these 30 seconds, Lin Moyu was confident he could significantly reduce the damage taken.

As for after 30 seconds, he would hold on for as long as he could.

Dongfang Yao was giving it her all at this moment.

The barrier was too complex; even if she knew the method, she still needed time.

After all, she was not yet level 40, so it was understandable.

All Lin Moyu could do now was to buy time.

Brilliant light erupted from the skeletons; the Skeleton Berserker withstood the Dragon Breath and was no longer blown away.

The thin red threads also failed to deal a fatal blow to them.

The counterattack officially began.

The Skeleton Berserkers charged toward the enemy, fast as lightning, instantly rushing to the enemy and then leaping high into the air.

The axes in their hands carried a sky full of red light, transforming into trails of axe shadows that crashed down.

The Skeleton Archmage's Elemental Explosion also unleashed unprecedented lethality.

Amidst the explosions, large chunks of rotting flesh were blown off the shadow.

The Skeleton Marksman's sharp arrows turned into lightning, piercing deep into its body before exploding.

Chunks of rotting flesh and dragon scales fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The attacks finally exceeded its defensive limit.

It seemed enraged, continuously spewing Dragon Breath to counterattack.

Under the buff of the Strong Soldier skill, the skeletons' strength increased sharply, and the damage caused by the Dragon Breath was significantly reduced.

On the other side, the Skeleton Berserkers had also charged onto their opponents.

Under the burst of skills, the opponent's rotting flesh flew everywhere.

Lin Moyu did not just watch; he used both hands, firing dense volleys of Bone Fangs.

2,100 Bone Fangs each time, 5 times per second.

The air lit up with dense, bright white light, and the Bone Fangs, carrying sharp whistling sounds, pierced through the opponent's body, riddling it with holes.

By the light, Lin Moyu finally saw the opponent's full appearance.

It was indeed from the dragon race, at least five hundred meters in size, and incomparably huge.

The dragon head had completely rotted away, with most of it exposing pitch-black bones.

Only the frames of its wings remained.

Only the dragon scales on its body remained.

Lin Moyu could imagine its power while alive; even if it was not god-level, it was at least close to it.

Now it was dead; although still powerful, it was no longer as it was in life.

Its fighting style had become rigid, only repeating the use of Dragon Breath over and over.

Having lost its intelligence, its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

But Lin Moyu also realized that it had become even more terrifying than in life.

The terror lay in the Corpse Poison, an Eternal Existence that could not be neutralized.

Chapter 377: The Last 10 Seconds, A Life-and-Death Crisis

Corpse Poison would continuously cause damage, and the higher the level of the Corpse Poison, the more powerful the damage.

It could not be neutralized and was an Eternal Existence.

At least that was the case for now.

Once killed by Corpse Poison, one would also turn into a corpse.

Corpse Poison could also be transmitted to others; if it spread, it would be a catastrophic disaster.

Fortunately, the [Corpse Realm] was sealed, and the corpses inside could not get out.

The only exit was the barrier guarded by the Dongfang Family.

This barrier could only be opened by the Dongfang Family; if other humans wanted to enter, it would take some time.

But under the siege of these powerful corpses, where would there be time?

A terrifying aura flew out from one of the mountain peaks, descending instantly.

Lin Moyu's expression was grave; the one that came this time seemed even stronger.

It brandished a staff in its hand and smashed it down from the sky.

With a deafening roar, the ground cracked, and the terrifying power blasted the skeletons into the sky.

The staff swept across the air, turning into a massive staff shadow hundreds of meters long.

The skeletons were swept away in mid-air, crashing directly onto a mountain peak hundreds of meters away.

The mountain peak shook, disturbing even more corpses inside the mountain.

Pairs of blood-red eyes lit up, and waves of terrifying auras rose.

Lin Moyu was horrified; just how many corpses were there?

Just based on the auras felt so far, there were at least a hundred corpses above level 80.

Lin Moyu was not certain at this moment whether he could hold out until the end.

Lin Moyu knew clearly that the skeletons swept into the mountain could not possibly come out again.

The Skeleton Archmage and the Skeleton Marksman sped to support.

The Skeleton Berserker also pounced over.

Elemental Explosion erupted on its body, bursting into colorful and extremely beautiful displays.

The Skeleton Berserker also swung its giant axe toward it.

The Bone Fangs whistled toward it.
