Chapter 376: Life or Death Decided in One Minute
The attacks came wave after wave, each carrying terrifying power. Lin
The undead army was almost scattered into a mess.
If it weren’t for the All-Encompassing Connection, the attacked skeletons would have long been dead.
Now, they could only rely on the continuous healing from the Lich Generals to barely maintain.
Lin Moyu hadn’t even seen the enemy’s appearance yet.
In Lin Moyu’s urgent urging, Dongfang Yao confirmed her memory, "Yes, that barrier has our family’s mark."
"The passage you mentioned to leave the [Corpse Realm], is it there?" Lin Moyu continued to ask, finally confirming.
In his sight, another large batch of skeletons was swept into the air, looking like they were about to fall apart.
The healing light on them kept shining.
Dongfang Yao looked at the current environment, carefully compared and thought, and finally confirmed, "Yes, it’s there."
"Let’s go!"
Without another word, Lin Moyu grabbed Dongfang Yao, spread his Wings of Lightning, and shot towards the barrier.
The speed instantly reached its limit, truly like a flash of lightning.
In less than half a second, they covered several hundred meters.
The undead army reappeared around them, instantly surrounding them.
In that half-second, Lin Moyu finally saw the attackers.
There wasn’t just one; there were several.
One of them was a dragon corpse monster.
It had a dragon tail over a hundred meters long, and its body wasn’t on the ground but on the mountain peak.
Each attack was a sweep of the dragon tail, directly descending.
So during the attack, only the dragon tail was visible, not the body.
Another monster looked like a demon, with wings on its back.
But it only had one wing, and it was so rotten that only the skeleton remained.
Its palm kept slapping the undead army, also able to break through space, attacking the undead army from hundreds of meters away.
Lin Moyu couldn’t determine their levels, but he was sure they were at least above level 80.
Just as they reached the barrier entrance, Lin Moyu was shocked.
Terrifying auras rose from the six mountain peaks.
Pairs of scarlet eyes lit up from the peaks.
In the next moment, shadows flew from the peaks.
Lin Moyu’s expression changed drastically, and he pressed his hand on the barrier.
His body gradually entered the barrier, and the barrier did not reject him; he could pass through.
But the passing speed was extremely slow, so slow that it would take at least five minutes to get through.
By then, he would be stuck halfway, making it extremely difficult to advance or retreat.
Dongfang Yao said, "I can open the barrier."
Lin Moyu immediately withdrew his hand, "Quickly open it."
Dongfang Yao was already doing it, continuously sending out the unique marks of the Dongfang family towards the barrier.
Dongfang Yao was even more anxious than Lin Moyu, "Give me some time."
"How long?"
Dongfang Yao said, "One minute."
"Alright!"
No extra words, just one minute.
Whether they could buy that minute was another matter.
The shadows on the six mountain peaks were already pouncing towards the undead army.
Each shadow was at least level 80.
They were all powerful beings from the great battle, killed by the forbidden skill, and finally turned into corpses.
Although they became corpses, most of their power from back then was retained.
At least, Lin Moyu couldn’t deal with them now.
Relying on the undead army, Lin Moyu could only delay, but he wasn’t sure how long he could delay.
These terrifying beings, turned into corpses, had no life, couldn’t be killed, were immune to curses, and had no souls. Lin Moyu couldn’t understand what kind of existence they were; it was too terrifying.
Many of his skills were rendered useless.
The sky darkened, and a shadow was already overhead.
It breathed out a hot breath, and flames began to burn on the skeletons.
"Dragon race, dragon breath!" Lin Moyu’s eyes tightened, recognizing the shadow as a dragon race.
Dragon breath was its ability in life, and even after becoming a corpse, this ability was retained.
And it became even more terrifying.
The dragon breath carried strong corpse poison, poisoning the skeletons.
The skeletons began to counterattack, and elemental explosions flashed on the shadow!
Arrows pierced the sky, hitting its body with a clanging sound.
Its defense was too strong; neither elemental explosions nor the sharpshooters’ arrows could cause significant damage.
The shadow continued to breathe dragon breath, and the ground shook violently.
Another terrifying corpse arrived.
It was over a hundred meters tall, and in the dark world, its full appearance couldn’t be seen.
From its outline, Lin Moyu identified it as a demon from the Abyss.
Whether it was a top-level demon or a demon king, he couldn’t tell.
Its hands slammed into the ground, causing a massive shockwave that sent countless skeletons flying.
Then countless red threads shot from the ground, wrapping around the skeletons.
The skeletons exploded in mid-air, shattering into pieces.
Lin Moyu felt a chill; these skeletons were truly dead.
Under the opponent’s attack, his talent was rendered useless.
Lin Moyu suddenly realized that his talent wasn’t omnipotent.
He had talents, and so might others, and some talents could cause such effects.
The opponent kept slamming the ground, killing skeletons in batches.
From the start of the battle until now, only 5 seconds had passed, and at least a thousand skeletons had died under the opponent’s attack.
The remaining ones were all heavily injured. If it weren’t for the Lich Generals’ quick healing, the undead army might have been wiped out in these 5 seconds.
But as the number of skeletons decreased, the time they could hold out would inevitably shorten.
One minute, they couldn’t hold out.
Lin Moyu gritted his teeth, and his hand suddenly heated up, bursting with brilliant light.
The long-unused [Strong Soldier] skill was activated again.
This was Lin Moyu’s most powerful skill, his trump card.
[Strong Soldier: For 30 seconds, all basic attributes of oneself and summoned creatures are increased by 200%, and all damage dealt is increased by 500%. Cooldown time: 1 hour.]
The strongest aspect of the Strong Soldier skill was that it increased basic attributes, and it was an increase after talent enhancement. The Lich Generals’ enhancement skills further boosted these basic attributes.
Under the dual effects, the skeletons’ attributes reached their peak.
Originally, with talent enhancement, each basic attribute of a level 42 skeletal berserker was as high as 130,000. Under the Strong Soldier skill, it suddenly increased to 390,000.
With the Lich Generals’ legion enhancement skill, a single attribute reached an astonishing 546,000, and the total attributes exceeded 2 million.
With such attributes, and all damage increased by 500%, plus the skeletal berserkers’ own skills, which dealt 500% strength damage.
Lin Moyu couldn’t even calculate the attack power of the skeletal berserkers at this moment.
Regardless, their defense was greatly enhanced.
Not only the skeletal berserkers, but the skeletal mages, sharpshooters, and even Lin Moyu himself were all enhanced.
For these 30 seconds, Lin Moyu was confident in significantly reducing the damage.
As for how long they could hold out after 30 seconds, that was another matter.
Dongfang Yao was already giving her all.
The barrier was too complex, and even though she knew the method, it took time.
After all, she was not yet level 40, so it was understandable.
Lin Moyu’s task now was to buy time!
The skeletons glowed brilliantly, and the skeletal berserkers withstood the dragon breath, no longer being blown away.
The red threads couldn’t deal fatal damage to them either.
The counterattack officially began.
The skeletal berserkers charged at the enemies, moving as fast as lightning, reaching the enemies in an instant and then leaping high.
Their axes glowed red, turning into shadows as they chopped down.
The skeletal mages’ elemental explosions also unleashed unprecedented destructive power.
In the explosions, large chunks of rotten flesh were blown off the shadows.
The sharpshooters’ arrows turned into lightning, deeply piercing the enemies’ bodies and then exploding.
Chunks of rotten flesh and dragon scales fell from the sky, heavily hitting the ground.
The attacks finally exceeded their defense limits.
They seemed enraged, continuously breathing dragon breath in retaliation.
With the Strong Soldier skill, the skeletons’ strength increased dramatically, and the damage from the dragon breath was greatly reduced.
On the other side, the skeletal berserkers had already reached their opponents.
Under the skill burst, the enemies’ rotten flesh flew everywhere.
Lin Moyu didn’t just watch; he used both hands to unleash a barrage of bone fangs. Each time, 2,100 bone fangs shot out, five times per second.
The sky lit up with countless white lights, and the bone fangs whistled through the air, piercing the enemies’ bodies and riddling them with holes.
In the light, Lin Moyu finally saw the full appearance of the enemies.
They were indeed from the dragon race, with a body at least 500 meters long, incredibly massive.
The dragon head was completely rotten, mostly exposing black bones.
The wings were just skeletal frames.
Only the dragon scales remained on the body.
Lin Moyu could imagine its power in life; even if it wasn’t god-level, it was at least close to god-level.
Now it was dead, still powerful but not as strong as in life.
Its combat style had become rigid, repeatedly using dragon breath.
Having lost its intelligence, its combat power was greatly reduced.
But Lin Moyu also realized that it had become more terrifying than in life.
The terror lay in the corpse poison, eternally present and incurable.
