Chapter 486: The Second Origin Rune
The Thunder Burial Valley did not completely collapse due to the Thunder God’s fall.
Although the Thunder God was gone, the power she left behind still maintained the operation of the Thunder Burial Valley.
The small plaza outside the Thunder God’s tomb would still exist. If someone was lucky enough to reach there, they could still receive rewards.
Unfortunately, no one could enter the Thunder God’s tomb or see the Thunder God’s Palace again.
Now many electric grasses had grown in the Thunder Burial Valley, swaying in the lightning.
"Time to go!"
Lin Moyu took a final look at the collapsed cave and valley, and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.
Behind the collapsed mountain, Lin Moyu saw a stone tablet.
His eyes suddenly narrowed and he flew over at top speed.
The stone tablet had been hidden in the mountain, only revealed after the mountain collapsed.
Complex runes were carved on the stone tablet, flowing like dragons and phoenixes, impossible to understand their meaning.
However, anyone could see these runes were extraordinary.
Lin Moyu couldn’t understand them for now.
Not understanding didn’t matter, as long as he knew what it was.
[Origin Rune]
Lin Moyu never imagined an [Origin Rune] would be hidden in the mountain.
He had almost missed it.
His spirit power activated the stone tablet.
The stone tablet flowed into Lin Moyu’s body like water, then a red light shot into the sky.
The [Soldier] character on the back of his left hand also flashed, seeming to resonate with the newly obtained [Origin Rune].
Only those who had personally experienced it would understand how powerful an [Origin Rune] was.
The [Strengthen Soldiers] skill from the [Soldier] character had saved him countless times, helping him slay powerful enemies.
If he could obtain another equally powerful skill...
The red light shooting into the sky immediately drew countless people’s attention.
Everyone knew what the red light meant.
The owner of the red light would be the target of all arrows for ten days.
Unlike last time when he passively let people come to him, this time killing intent rose in Lin Moyu’s eyes, "Time for another massacre. This time I’ll come find you."
With the red light shooting into the sky above him, Lin Moyu’s Lightning Undead Wings flapped as he shot off like lightning.
When he first set foot on the Wind Thunder Continent, Lin Moyu had encountered the dragon race’s attack.
At that time he decided that after resolving his deal with Antares, he would go to the dragon race’s base to see what was going on.
To see what the dragon race was up to, and if those general-level war puppets could be mass-produced.
If so, it would not be good news for the human race.
He wasn’t afraid, but the top career holders in the human army would face danger on the battlefield.
And before he left for the Eternal Battlefield, news had come of the dragon race preparing for war.
War was not far off.
The dragon race, dormant for a thousand years, had only launched two relatively small-scale wars after their return.
They wouldn’t stop there, and were certainly preparing for a larger-scale war.
The hatred between races could not be easily erased.
Lin Moyu flew at low altitude, still very wary of Wind Flowers.
The Wind Flowers’ movements were too strange, and Lin Moyu didn’t want to provoke Wind Flower groups for now.
Lin Moyu constantly checked the map, changing directions.
He was looking for the dragon race, while the dragon race and demons were also looking for him.
The red light of the [Origin Rune] was too conspicuous. Dragons and demons rushed over like moths to a flame.
When they saw that the one who obtained the [Origin Rune] was actually a level 52 human career holder, they all became excited to the point of losing reason.
They didn’t stop to think why a level 52 person would appear in the lower space, and even obtain an [Origin Rune].
Was an [Origin Rune] something that could be obtained casually?
When they rushed over mindlessly, Lin Moyu’s blade of slaughter naturally awaited them.
Along the way, Lin Moyu was constantly ambushed, killing batch after batch.
His experience slowly increased through the slaughter.
Military merits were no longer very useful to him now.
No amount of military merits could raise his general stars.
Only killing Demon Kings, Dragon Kings and other such powerful beings could continue to raise his general stars.
And killing one wasn’t enough.
He was now a 3-star Divine General. To upgrade to 4-star Divine General, he needed to kill a full 4 of them.
Lin Moyu only remembered a general direction, and it wasn’t easy to find what he was looking for.
However, Lin Moyu knew that as long as he got close to the dragon race’s base, the dragon race would naturally come looking for him.
Whether it was the aura of him slaughtering dragons, or the red light of the [Origin Rune] now, both were huge temptations.
Sure enough, after just half a day, a large number of dragon warships appeared in sight.
Dragon warships floated in the air, numbering over a thousand.
Lin Moyu could see the situation on the warships from afar.
He could see many dragon generals standing expressionless on the warships.
Their expressions were extremely stiff, their eyes blank and lifeless, completely different from normal dragons.
Each warship had a hundred-man team of general-level puppets. With 1000 warships, there were over 100,000 general-level puppets.
100,000 dragon generals... this number was extremely shocking.
It was enough for the dragon race to launch a full-scale war against humans.
One could imagine how many top human career holders would die if war broke out.
While the dragon race’s losses would just be some war puppets.
"Where did the dragon race get so many materials?"
Lin Moyu frowned slightly. Making war puppets required a lot of materials.
General-level war puppets would certainly have higher material requirements. Where did the dragon race obtain such high-quality materials in such quantities?
Upon discovering Lin Moyu, a lot of noisy voices came from the dragon warships.
The puppets ignored the red light shooting into the sky above Lin Moyu, but the real dragon members wouldn’t.
[Origin Rune!]
[He killed many of our people, kill him and take the Origin Rune.]
[We’ve investigated clearly a few days ago, this level 52 human career holder is called Lin Moyu, someone the Dragon King ordered must be killed.]
[Kill him and give the Origin Rune to the Dragon King, we can get an amazing reward.]
The dragons shouted and yelled.
The magic crystals on the dragon warships all lit up.
In an instant, huge pillars of light illuminated the sky, blasting towards Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu had anticipated this and immediately flew towards the ground.
Below him were patches of thunder trees.
The dragon warships instantly went silent, not daring to attack.
Provoking even one thunder tree would be disastrous.
They would be attacked by groups of thunder trees.
Their thousand warships and 100,000 dragon generals seemed like a lot.
But compared to the mountain ranges formed by thunder trees, they were just a drop in the ocean, not enough.
Since the warships couldn’t attack, the dragon generals on the ships came out.
100,000 dragon generals poured out in a flood. Lin Moyu said calmly, "Time to level up again!"
The undead army appeared in response, with skeleton berserkers charging to the front to directly face the dragon generals.
Using 10,000 skeleton berserkers to face enemies ten times their number, Lin Moyu wasn’t worried at all.
At the moment the two sides were about to clash, the [Soldier] character on the back of his hand flashed.
The [Strengthen Soldiers] skill suddenly activated, instantly increasing the entire undead army’s combat power by nearly tenfold.
The skeleton berserkers raised their axes to activate skills, with attacks equivalent to over 8 million strength. The dragon generals were no match for them at all.
One skill and the dragon generals were instantly killed.
The skeleton mages and divine archers had also joined the battle.
Under one wave of area attacks, nearly a thousand general-level puppets were directly killed.
The skeleton berserkers moved very quickly, swiftly catching the falling puppet corpses.
Though they were puppets, their life force was real.
After catching the puppet corpses, the skeleton berserkers threw them forcefully towards the sky.
The explosion range of Corpse Explosion was 420 meters.
The dragon warships were about 300 meters above the ground.
The battle was happening 150 meters above ground.
When the corpses flew to 500 meters high, Lin Moyu raised his hand to activate the skill.
Under the [Strengthen Soldiers] state, the damage of Corpse Explosion was amplified 6 times again on its original basis.
With the sound of explosions, terrifying energy swept past like a fierce wind.
The shields on the warships were twisted and deformed by the explosions, about to break.
This was just from one corpse. The corpses thrown up by the skeleton berserkers numbered in the hundreds and thousands.
Moreover, the damage from Corpse Explosion affected not only the warships, but also the dragon generals in the midst of battle.
The dragon generals were instantly killed by the explosions, their corpses becoming Lin Moyu’s weapons again.
When three corpses were detonated in succession, the shields of many warships shattered.
The real dragon warriors on board showed panic on their faces.
They wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Several more corpses exploded in succession, directly destroying the unprotected warships, along with the dragon warriors on board who also died.
The destroyed dragon warships fell from the sky, crashing to the ground among the thunder trees.
The thunder tree groups immediately began to stir.
In an instant, countless thunderbolts struck towards the sky.
The thunder trees targeted the dragons, as they had the same aura.
They were seen as the same kind by the thunder tree groups.
This was also Lin Moyu’s idea, to use their power against them.
