Chapter 664

He had long since sensed that four BOSSes were hidden within the four fortresses.

These four BOSSes were the actual commanders of the fortresses.

They would only take action once the fortresses had sustained a certain level of damage.

This was a Dungeon mechanic.

Now, seeing the fortresses' protective shields on the verge of collapse, the commanders finally moved.

Four elements converged in the air, their power steadily intensifying.

The power rapidly exceeded the Level 80 threshold, breaking the Dungeon's upper limit.

This phenomenon left Lin Moyu somewhat surprised.

Normally, except for the final BOSS of a Dungeon, the power level encountered midway should not exceed the maximum allowed entry level.

This was a Level 75 Dungeon with a maximum entry level of 80; thus, aside from the final BOSS, any monsters or enemies encountered along the way should have power levels between 75 and 80.

Yet, having just entered the Dungeon, the power limit had already been shattered.

Lin Moyu knew that while this level of power meant nothing to him, it would be extremely difficult for other Professionals to handle.

He had previously looked over information regarding the high-tier Kunlun Divine Palace Dungeon; although the records weren't detailed, he knew the general situation inside.

The Dungeon had three phases, and he was currently in the first phase.

The goal of this phase was to destroy the Elemental Fortresses and obtain the keys.

"True to its name, the difficulty of a high-tier Dungeon is indeed high!"

"It really would be difficult for an ordinary team to pass."

Lin Moyu spoke softly.

He didn't realize that what he was doing differed from the records.

The records only said to destroy the Elemental Fortresses; in reality, one only needed to pick one out of the four to destroy.

Others would choose a single Elemental Fortress to attack, alerting only one commander, which would never trigger an elemental convergence or break the Dungeon's power limit.

Lin Moyu, however, attacked all four fortresses simultaneously, alerting all four commanders at once and triggering a mutation.

Gales howled within the Dungeon, wind turning into blades that clattered against the Undead Legion.

Thunder roared as electric snakes danced, weaving through the Undead Legion as well.

Lightning illuminated the land, followed by flashes of red and blue light in the sky.

Fire and water elements fell simultaneously.

It was the first time even Lin Moyu had seen a scene where fire rain and snowflakes fell together; it was exceptionally beautiful.

When the elements of opposing attributes collided, violent explosions erupted.

For a moment, the elements vibrated in a dazzling display.

Lin Moyu stood there with a relaxed expression, as if admiring a beautiful firework display.

Having experienced the [Dragon King Hall] Dungeon and the baptism of Elemental Dragons, elemental attacks of this level were trivial—no more than children playing around.

Under the elemental onslaught, the Undead Legion maintained its powerful offensive.

The Lich Generals performed healings, and any wounds were mended in the blink of an eye.

Like Lin Moyu, they ignored the elemental attacks.

Lin Moyu didn't even need to summon the Skeleton King, nor did he need any other skill Support.

The Undead Legion itself was enough to steamroll through.

The seemingly sturdy shields of the four fortresses lasted only a minute under the Undead Legion's frenzied assault before shattering with a bang.

The Undead Legion pounced like hungry wolves, quickly clearing the monsters off the city walls.

The army charged into the fortresses' interiors and began to surround and kill the commanders.

Lin Moyu strolled forward leisurely; since the Undead Legion had reached its current level, he didn't need to worry about how they fought unless they encountered a truly troublesome enemy.

He only needed to wait for the result.

Before long, the elements gathered in the sky dissipated into nothingness.

Lin Moyu also received the notifications.

[Killed Level 78 Wind Commander, Experience +**]

[Obtained Wind Key]

[Wind Key: One of the four elemental keys. At least one key must be obtained to open the third phase of the Dungeon.]

[Killed Level 78 Fire Commander, Experience +**]

[Obtained Fire Key]

…

Notifications continued to pop up, and Lin Moyu obtained all four keys.

The four Elemental Fortresses fell completely silent; as the Undead Legion left, the fortresses collapsed into ruins amidst a rumbling sound.

Lin Moyu walked past the fortresses at this time, continuing along the path within the Dungeon.

Looking up, he saw the summit of Kunlun.

Above the summit, amidst the mist, an exquisite and magnificent palace was faintly visible.

The Kunlun Divine Palace—the Dungeon's name came from this.

Past the Elemental Fortresses was the mountain path; from here, the true Dungeon began.

Lin Moyu gazed at the peak; the Main Kunlun Peak within the Dungeon gave him a sense of vibrancy and life.

It wasn't like the Main Kunlun Peak in the outside world, which was deathly still.

He had this feeling the first time he entered the Kunlun Divine Palace Dungeon.

Back then, he had even suspected that the peak inside the Dungeon was the real Main Kunlun Peak.

Now, Lin Moyu was even more certain of his feelings.

There were too many legends about Kunlun Mountain; whether in his previous life before transmigrating or in the current Shenxia Empire, legends of Kunlun Mountain existed.

In his past life, it was said that Kunlun was the ancestor of all mountains, and there was a saying that all the world's dragon veins originated from Kunlun.

Here, Kunlun was equally mysterious and powerful; it was said to have birthed a large number of deities and once formed the Kunlun Pantheon.

Lin Moyu didn't believe the talk of ten thousand gods, but given the majesty of the Kunlun Mountains, it was entirely possible for a few or even a dozen deities to have appeared.

Soul power flowed through the Dungeon, gradually seeping into the Main Kunlun Peak.

Lin Moyu was very interested and wanted to figure everything out.

Perhaps he could uncover the mystery of the upheaval that occurred back then.

Chapter 639: Real Peak and Fake Peak, the Palace of Deities

In the process of growing up, the things Lin Moyu came into contact with were different from other Professionals.

After completing the first Great Exam, he was noticed by Bai Yiyuan, and everything he encountered since then had been somewhat high-end.

Later, as his level rose, the information he learned became increasingly profound and complex, with mysteries following one after another.

Often, just as he found one answer, several more mysteries would crop up.

Even the things he was currently in contact with had far exceeded the knowledge of Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen.

In the entire world, he was the only one who could speak with Antares as an equal.

He was the only one qualified to enter the [Dragon King Hall].

There was certainly no one else who had seen the Elemental Dragons and the Dragon God.

He was also the only one who could obtain two [Primordial Runes], keep them both, and acquire Origin Skills.

Lin Moyu knew the path he walked was unlike anyone else's.

He was destined to unravel various mysteries and figure out the essence of this world.

In bygone eras, what exactly happened in this world, and why did those things happen?

Lin Moyu felt that all the changes were not natural; there had to be a deeper reason.

Antares had once let something slip, though it was only a few words.

However, it allowed Lin Moyu to discover some clues.

Afterward, both sides tacitly avoided mentioning it again, but Lin Moyu knew even more clearly that there was something strange about this world.

Now, standing on the Main Kunlun Peak, Lin Moyu was 99% certain that this peak inside the Dungeon was the real Main Kunlun Peak, the one from the countless legends.

Whereas the Main Kunlun Peak outside the Dungeon was a fake.

"Being able to swap two main peaks is not something an ordinary deity could achieve."

"But why would they do such a thing?"

Lin Moyu pondered this question as he walked.

A large number of monsters rushed from the mountain and both sides; the Undead Legion moved in response, slaughtering them all.

Most monsters in the Dungeon were between Levels 75 and 77, possessing no resistance against the Undead Legion.

Lin Moyu suddenly looked up toward the palace on the peak, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

He seemed to have understood something.

To verify his theory, his soul power surged toward the palace.

But just as it approached the palace, a formation abruptly emerged, blocking Lin Moyu's soul power.

Lin Moyu clenched his fist, looking slightly excited. "That's it, exactly."

The formation blocking his soul power shared the same root and origin as the formation outside the Dungeon that absorbed life force.

It was clearly perceptible that both formations were the work of the same person.

The previous mystery was answered; everything became clear.

"Setting up a fake peak on the outside and placing a formation within it to absorb the life force of all living beings at an extremely slow rate."

"Using the wind and snow of the Kunlun Mountains, along with the pressure test of the Divine Palace Dungeon, to make it completely undetectable."

"Even if an ordinary Level 90 powerhouse came here, they wouldn't notice unless they looked very closely."

"All the absorbed life force enters the Dungeon and flows into the true Kunlun Divine Palace."

"What seems like a small amount of life force adds up to a staggering figure over the years."

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a powerful deity in deep slumber."

When deities are heavily injured, they choose to sleep, using time to recover themselves.

This deity added an extra layer of insurance; not only were they sleeping, but they were also absorbing the life force of countless living beings.

In this way, their slumber time would be greatly shortened.

Lin Moyu felt his guess was likely correct; it had to be so.

Although he believed his guess, it remained just a guess; if possible, he still wanted to go into the Divine Palace to see for himself.

As for how to enter the Divine Palace, it was either by force or by passing the Dungeon.

Lin Moyu believed that since the other party had created such a trial-type Dungeon, they must have left a passage.

The area ahead suddenly brightened, and a light orb resembling a sun appeared in the sky.

Light wove through the wind and snow, creating dazzling shadows.

Tiny rainbows appeared in the air like seven-colored halos, incredibly beautiful.

If these settings were all the work of that deity, one could only say that deity's appreciation for beauty was extremely high!

Lin Moyu's gaze fell on the sun-like light orb; it was only bright, not hot.

The light orb was merely a surface phenomenon; its core was actually a formation.
