Chapter 434: Meeting the Ancient Phoenix Again

Lin Moyu still remembered the last time he entered the core area and encountered the Battlefield Serpent Turtle, which was also level 64. The one who ran away was himself.

This time, everything was completely different.

He only needed to use one undead army to eliminate the level 64 Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger.

Mu Xianxian didn't need to use any combat instincts this time. She easily approached the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger and set off the fireworks.

The Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger, bound by the Skeletal Prison, couldn't move anything except its eyes.

Under the fireworks, the axes of the Skeleton Berserkers glowed red.

Hundreds of axes came down densely.

With a mournful cry, the Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger collapsed.

[Killed Battlefield Iron Armored Tiger, Experience +1,920,000]

[Obtained Iron Armored Spear]

[Obtained Iron Armored Spear through Collection Skill]

[Iron Armored Spear (Warrior Exclusive): Platinum-grade weapon, All Attributes +2800, Warrior Class Skills +90%. Skill: Sweeping Strike]

[Sweeping Strike: Attacks all enemies within five meters, with a chance to stun. Cooldown: 3 minutes.]

[Iron Armored Spear (Warrior Exclusive): Platinum-grade weapon, All Attributes +2800, Warrior Class Skills +90%.]

With the Collection Skill, an additional Iron Armored Spear was obtained.

However, as before, weapons obtained through the Collection Skill do not come with skills.

Such weapons can only be sold to the trading house, and the price won't be very high.

Lin Moyu put away the Elemental Liches.

In battle, the Elemental Liches had proven their usefulness.

Whether in terms of damage, control, or pursuit, they were very effective.

If the skill level is increased in the future and better elemental materials can be found, the Elemental Liches will become even stronger.

When Lin Moyu put away the Elemental Liches, Mu Xianxian showed a hint of disappointment on her face.

"Are these your summons too?" Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

Mu Xianxian responded with an "Oh," "I thought they were pets. If they were pets, that would be great. I also want to keep a few."

She didn't pay attention to the function of the Elemental Liches but was more concerned about their appearance.

Their perspectives were completely different.

Lin Moyu didn't explain much and continued forward.

The core area was vast, occupying the largest area in the upper space of the Ancient Battlefield.

It took quite some time to reach its center.

As they advanced, monsters occasionally flew overhead.

They would spot Lin Moyu and his undead army on the ground and dive down.

But they were often killed by the undead army's concentrated fire before they could get close to Lin Moyu.

This time, Lin Moyu's progress was much faster than before, covering thousands of kilometers each day.

It seemed like a leisurely stroll, but they were moving quickly.

All the monsters along the way were cleared out.

For five consecutive days, they didn't encounter the Ancient Phoenix.

They did encounter several ordinary bosses, but without exception, they all fell before the undead army.

Lin Moyu had now tested the control duration of the Skeletal Prison.

At level 50, the Skeletal Prison had a duration of 50 seconds, which increased to 3,000 seconds with the amplification.

However, when controlling level 63 or 64 bosses, even if controlling just one, the duration would drastically shorten to 30 seconds.

The control duration was reduced by a hundredfold.

If they encountered a lord-level boss or a world-class boss, the control duration would further decrease.

Even so, it was more than enough.

Even 30 seconds, or even 3 seconds, was enough to cause terrifying damage.

As they delved deeper into the core area, the ground began to change.

The ground in the core area was polished like a mirror, reflecting their images.

Later, it became smoother and even started to become transparent.

Five days later, Lin Moyu and Mu Xianxian stepped into another area.

The ground in this area was semi-transparent, with visible flames burning beneath it.

The entire land exuded a burning aura.

Upon seeing the flames, Lin Moyu murmured, "Finally here."

Mu Xianxian was puzzled, "What do you mean, 'finally here'?"

Lin Moyu replied, "Do you remember the Ancient Phoenix?"

Mu Xianxian thought for a moment, her face changing color, nodding vigorously, "I remember, I remember. Last time, it was the one that killed you. We even erected a tombstone for you."

Lin Moyu stared at her, "First, I wasn't killed. Second, stop mentioning the tombstone."

Mu Xianxian responded with an "Oh."

But from her expression, it was clear she accepted it humbly, though whether she would change was uncertain.

Lin Moyu didn't bother to argue with her, "We should be in its territory now. It could come at any time, so be careful."

Mu Xianxian suddenly pointed to the distant sky, "Look, is that it?"

Lin Moyu looked up and saw a black fireball.

The fireball hung in the sky like a blazing sun, growing larger.

At the center of the fireball, the Ancient Phoenix was flying towards them.

"Speak of the devil," Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, that's it."

He then cast Skeletal Armor on himself and Mu Xianxian.

The undead army appeared in batches, and the Lich General buffed all the skeletons.

Brilliant lights shot into the sky.

In almost an instant, Lin Moyu was ready for battle.

The Ancient Phoenix had left a deep impression on Lin Moyu. Even though his strength had greatly increased, he wouldn't be careless.

In just two seconds, the Ancient Phoenix had already crossed the sky, rapidly approaching.

Its speed was incredibly fast, roughly estimated to be over a thousand meters per second.

Faster than Lin Moyu's Lightning Undead Wings.

If it decided to flee, Lin Moyu wouldn't be able to catch up.

He had to find a way to prevent its escape.

As he pondered his strategy, Mu Xianxian's voice came from beside him, "It looks scary. Be careful."

"If there's danger, you should escape on your own. Don't worry about me."

Mu Xianxian was still thinking about Lin Moyu's safety. Lin Moyu gave her a strange look, this girl really wasn't afraid of death.

Lin Moyu had already devised a plan, "Find the right moment to set off the fireworks. If you can't, it's okay. Safety first."

Mu Xianxian nodded, "I will."

The Ancient Phoenix had arrived.

With a flap of its wings, black flames rained down from the sky.

The sky within a kilometer radius was filled with dense fire rain.

The Lich General formed a circle, protecting Mu Xianxian.

The Lich General had strong constitution and self-healing abilities, making it an excellent tank.

Skill: Lightning Undead Wings.

With a flash of lightning, a pair of bone wings appeared on Lin Moyu's back.

Electric currents danced on the wings.

In the next second, Lin Moyu flapped his wings and soared into the sky, heading straight for the fire rain.

The entire undead army of 27,000 skeletons followed Lin Moyu into the sky.

The skeletons didn't grow wings, but the effect of the Lightning Undead Wings was transmitted to them through a special connection, granting them the ability to fly.

Amidst the fire rain, the undead army soared into the sky, creating a spectacular scene.

The Ancient Phoenix seemed to recognize Lin Moyu.

The moment it saw Lin Moyu, it let out a sharp cry, flapping its wings more vigorously, and the flames became denser.

"Long time no see!"

Lin Moyu said softly, casting a detection spell.

[Ancient Phoenix (Lord-level Boss)]

[Level: 67]

[Strength: 300,000]

[Agility: 150,000]

[Mental: 200,000]

[Constitution: 200,000]

[Skills: Flame Jet, Flame Explosion]

[Traits: Fire Element Damage Immunity, Elemental Damage Reduction 60%, Physical Damage Reduction 60%, Fangs Ignore Defense]

With attributes reaching 800,000, it was indeed powerful.

The flames struck the skeletons, causing explosions.

Some skeletons were knocked away by the impact but quickly stabilized and continued to charge.

White light flickered on the skeletons, healing the damage almost instantly.

In the past, this fireball attack would have killed many skeletons.

But now, it only caused minor injuries, not too severe.

The undead army charged through the fireballs, reaching the Ancient Phoenix.

The Ancient Phoenix was engulfed in black flames, causing damage to anyone who approached.

Under Lin Moyu's command, the Skeleton Berserkers ignored the black flames, disregarding the burning flames on their bodies, and pounced on the Ancient Phoenix, swinging their axes.

Lin Moyu pointed his finger.

Skill: Aging Curse.

The battle erupted in full force at that moment!
