Chapter 3104: Cracks in the Ancient Battle Secret Realm
The extinguishing of the Undying Flame made Lin Moyu feel strange.
Although the Undying Flame was visible, it was formless and intangible. Normally, it shouldn't be able to be extinguished.
The Revive the Dead spell hadn't failed, but it hadn't succeeded either.
Just as Lin Moyu was pondering this, the ground suddenly began to shake.
The bloody aura suddenly intensified several times. Previously, the bloody aura was barely noticeable, but now it suddenly became thick.
Strands of blood energy spread from the ground, quickly forming warriors wearing armor.
They wore identical armor, were about the same height, and carried identical standard weapons.
"Prehistoric soldiers!"
Lin Moyu's gaze focused slightly.
Over a hundred soldiers appeared before him, all with the aura of third-level Dao Venerables. A hundred soldiers forming a battle array could contend with a fourth-level Dao Venerable.
In the Origin Continent, a hundred third-level Dao Venerables normally couldn't defeat a fourth-level Dao Venerable.
But on the battlefield, it was a different matter.
The soldiers could merge their power together, relying on battle formations to exert strength far beyond their individual levels, able to fight across realms.
This was the significance of an army.
Lin Moyu naturally knew this and wouldn't view these hundred soldiers as mere third-level Dao Venerables.
"Defiling heroic spirits, you deserve death!"
A roar sounded as the soldiers shouted angrily in unison, raising their weapons to strike at Lin Moyu.
Streaks of pitch-black blade light slashed across the sky.
Blood energy roared as Lin Moyu threw another punch.
His entire body's blood energy transformed into a dragon, charging towards these soldiers.
His body had already reached fifth-level Dao Venerable. With the Power Dao gathered in his blood energy, this punch also reached fifth-level Dao Venerable power.
The pitch-black blade light was shattered by the blood energy dragon, which then plowed into the group of soldiers, crushing them.
In an instant, the hundred soldiers were completely crushed, disappearing from the world.
Lin Moyu suddenly raised his head, looking into the distance.
An invisible force came from afar, locking onto him from a distance.
Stronger auras were transmitted from afar, and quite a few. Fourth-level Dao Venerable and above soldiers from the mid-level area were coming.
Lin Moyu's heart moved, quickly concealing his aura and turning to leave.
At this moment, he understood what had happened and why the Undying Flame had been extinguished, why the spell couldn't succeed.
Countless powerhouses had been buried here, their bodies shattered.
Almost every inch of ground had more than one drop of blood.
The area his Undying Flame had covered before might have contained the blood of several or even dozens of powerhouses.
So Revive the Dead naturally failed; it simply didn't know which one to revive.
Moreover, these powerhouses were too ancient, too old to trace their origins.
This ancient battlefield gave Lin Moyu a strange feeling. It seemed to have formed countless secret realms, but the entire ancient battlefield seemed to be one whole.
First appeared the blood dragon, then the soldiers, then stronger soldiers coming from afar.
His one Undying Flame was like poking a hornet's nest.
"This ancient battlefield is a bit strange!"
"Before figuring out the root cause, I should be more careful."
Lin Moyu walked farther and farther away.
Finally, the feeling of being locked onto disappeared. Lin Moyu knew he was safe and slowed down.
He didn't stop, walking very far, passing more than ten secret realms without entering any.
He wasn't interested in low-level area secret realms. If he was going to enter, he would start from the mid-level area.
He was now searching for the path to the mid-level area.
After the lock disappeared, Lin Moyu began to release skeleton generals. Ten thousand skeleton generals helped him search, greatly increasing efficiency.
According to the information obtained, there would be passages between two areas.
As long as he could find a passage, he could go to another area.
Some passages could be directly passed through, while others had some obstacles. To pass through, these obstacles had to be overcome.
Lin Moyu had extraordinary experience in finding passages.
The aura that had locked onto him earlier should have come from the mid-level area, so that direction became Lin Moyu's focus for searching.
After the lock disappeared, he had been advancing in that direction.
The ancient battlefield was very large. Although ten thousand people had entered, once inside, they were like sand scattered in the sea, not easy to encounter.
Especially in the low-level area, there were even fewer.
Most people's cultivation was concentrated between fourth and sixth-level Dao Venerable, so the mid-level area had the most people, while the low-level area had relatively fewer.
The high-level area had even fewer, and the entry-level outer area could be said to have the least number of people.
After just half a day, the skeleton generals sent information that one had encountered a space barrier.
Lin Moyu quickly rushed over. Where the skeleton general had encountered the space barrier, there was a huge crack.
The crack was about a hundred meters wide and bottomless.
Powerful force rushed out from the crack. The bloody smell here was much thicker than elsewhere. Standing at the edge of the crack, one could even hear the sound of waves.
Lin Moyu strained his eyes to look down the crack but still couldn't see the bottom.
However, from the faint sound of waves and the thick bloody smell, Lin Moyu guessed there might be a river of blood at the bottom of the crack.
An invisible force spread up from the crack, shooting straight to the sky, becoming a space barrier.
Bearing the Space Dao, he could sense the fluctuations coming from space.
The space barrier wasn't strong; he could break it with full force.
That is to say, he could enter the crack or go to the other side of the crack.
If he wasn't mistaken, the other side of the crack was the mid-level area.
But Lin Moyu didn't take action because he sensed something unusual in the space barrier.
Lin Moyu placed one hand on the invisible space barrier, his eyes slightly closed, "The space barrier contains a powerful will."
"This will should come from a terrifying powerhouse, at least a ninth-level Dao Venerable powerful being."
"If I break the space barrier, it might attract its attention, causing some bad things to happen."
"Moreover... there seem to be some not-so-good things in the crack."
After pondering, Lin Moyu decided to give up the idea of taking an unusual path and look for a normal passage.
Sometimes it's necessary to take risks, but risks shouldn't be taken blindly. Once blind, it's not called risk-taking but recklessness, and the result is often death.
He had the skeleton generals explore along the crack in both directions, and soon found a normal passage.
Lin Moyu saw a stone bridge connecting both sides of the crack, forming a passage.
On the stone bridge was stationed an army.
The army wasn't large, about a hundred people. Because of the space barrier, Lin Moyu couldn't sense their strength.
The army's attire was identical, standing at the edge of the bridge like soldiers guarding city walls.
In the center of the army was a figure that looked like a leader.
He paced back and forth on the bridge, as if inspecting.
Lin Moyu didn't approach immediately but observed from afar. These soldiers gave him a strange feeling.
The soldiers weren't looking towards the ends of the bridge but were distributed along both sides, looking down at the bridge.
Below the bridge was the crack. These soldiers were guarding against the crack.
"What's in the crack!"
Just as he was thinking this, a huge boom sounded, and the ground shook violently.
The sound of waves suddenly grew louder, a foul smell assaulted the nose, and a wave of blood surged up from the crack.
