Chapter 377: The Last 10 Seconds, Life and Death on the Line
The corpse poison continuously causes damage, and the higher the level of the corpse poison, the stronger the damage. Lin
It cannot be neutralized and exists eternally.
At least, that's the case so far.
Once killed by the corpse poison, one will also turn into a corpse.
The corpse poison can also infect others, spreading and causing a catastrophic disaster.
Fortunately, the [Corpse Realm] is sealed, and the corpses inside cannot escape.
The only exit is the barrier guarded by the Dongfang family.
This barrier can only be opened by the Dongfang family. If other humans want to enter, it takes some time. But under the siege of these powerful corpses, there is no time.
A terrifying aura flew out from one of the mountain peaks and descended instantly.
Lin Moyu's expression was solemn; this one seemed even stronger.
It wielded a stick, smashing it down from the sky.
With a loud bang, the ground cracked, and the terrifying power sent the skeletons flying into the sky.
The stick swept across the air, forming a shadow hundreds of meters long.
The skeletons were swept away in mid-air, crashing into the mountain peaks hundreds of meters away.
The mountain peaks shook, disturbing more corpses within.
Pairs of blood-red eyes lit up, and waves of terrifying auras rose.
Lin Moyu was horrified; how many corpses were there?
Just the auras he sensed indicated that there were at least a hundred corpses above level 80.
Lin Moyu was unsure if he could hold on until the end.
The skeletons that were swept into the mountain peaks were unlikely to come out again, Lin Moyu knew this.
The skeletal mages and skeletal archers quickly provided support.
The skeletal berserkers also charged forward.
Elemental explosions erupted on its body, creating a dazzling display.
The skeletal berserkers swung their giant axes at it.
Bone fangs whistled through the air.
It swung its stick, creating countless stick shadows in the sky.
None of the berserkers could get close; they were all swept away.
In the light, Lin Moyu finally saw clearly.
This was a human strongman, although already decayed, still recognizable.
Its combat power was too strong, clearly surpassing the previous dragon and demon.
Even in the strong soldier state, the skeletons were no match.
Lin Moyu even suspected that it had reached the god level.
"So strong!"
Lin Moyu's expression was very solemn.
The skeletal berserkers began to go up in batches, trying to delay as much as possible.
Nothing could withstand the stick's path.
Lin Moyu had an idea, and a Lich General rushed to the front.
Although the Lich General had no attack power, it had the highest physical defense among all of Lin Moyu's summons.
Its base constitution was as high as 270,000, and with the strong soldier skill and its own enhancements, its constitution attribute exceeded 1.1 million.
If anyone could withstand the attacks of this stick-wielding corpse, it was the Lich General.
The Lich General charged out, actively meeting the stick.
With a bang, the stick struck it, heavily injuring the Lich General.
But it didn't take a step back, enduring the attack.
The other 21 Lich Generals were rapidly healing it, allowing it to recover quickly.
Seeing this, Lin Moyu immediately gave up attacking the stick-wielding corpse and let the Lich General hold it off.
The Lich General became a meat shield, taking hit after hit.
The battle reached the 20-second mark.
Over 2,000 skeletons had been lost.
Without the strong soldier skill, they wouldn't have lasted this long.
The strong soldier skill had 15 seconds left.
"In 15 seconds, I must take down two..."
If he couldn't take down the initial dragon corpse and demon corpse in 15 seconds, with more corpses arriving later, he might as well commit suicide.
Lin Moyu steeled himself, letting the skeletal berserkers hold off the demon and the Lich General hold off the stick-wielding corpse. All the remaining skeletal mages and skeletal archers simultaneously attacked the dragon corpse.
He himself didn't rest, firing bone fangs at the dragon corpse with all his might.
It seemed the weakest, so he targeted it first.
In just 20 seconds, this was the most intense battle Lin Moyu had ever experienced.
He didn't even have time to use the detection skill.
Now, every second counted, and knowing the enemy's level wouldn't change anything.
With Lin Moyu's full attack, the dragon corpse was finally destroyed after 6 seconds, disintegrating in mid-air.
Without a moment's delay, he immediately targeted the demon corpse.
The strong soldier skill had 9 seconds left.
The demon corpse was covered in skeletal berserkers.
The demon corpse was full of corpse poison, infecting every skeletal berserker. Despite the damage, they continued to attack.
With the mages and archers joining in, the demon corpse was quickly overwhelmed.
Finally, with one second left on the strong soldier skill, the demon corpse collapsed.
The next second, the strong soldier skill went into cooldown.
All attributes receded like a tide.
There were still 25 seconds left of the minute.
The stick-wielding corpse struck down, and the Lich General, which had been holding on, was instantly sent flying, disappearing from sight.
The Lich General was finished; this was the first time a Lich General had died since the formation of the undead army.
Lin Moyu knew that the next 25 seconds would be the hardest.
He didn't urge Dongfang Yao; she was already doing her best, and urging her would only backfire.
Each did what they had to do.
At this moment, Lin Moyu was extremely calm.
The undead army began to spread out.
The enemy's attacks were all area attacks; staying together would only lead to faster destruction.
The skeletal warriors began to run quickly, attracting the enemy's attention.
Fortunately, the enemy's intelligence was low, almost gone after becoming corpses.
If it were a true strongman, the first target would definitely be Lin Moyu.
The strongmen sleeping in the mountain peaks continued to awaken and descend.
A giant tree appeared in the sky, covered in rotting branches, unrecognizable.
The tree was withered, its branches and leaves decayed.
The moment it appeared, Lin Moyu was horrified.
Because the Goddess of Life had mentioned it in her description of the great battle.
This was a god, called the Tree God by the Goddess of Life.
A plant-based god, with immense vitality, extremely hard to kill.
In the great battle, it had shone brightly, killing many.
Later, it was heavily injured by a human strongman but didn't die.
It escaped the battlefield but was eventually killed by the forbidden skill, becoming a corpse.
The forbidden skill swept through the entire world, and no living being within it could escape.
The moment the Tree God appeared, Lin Moyu felt a surge of cold, a sense of crisis.
It was stronger than the stick-wielding human corpse, much stronger.
The Tree God stood in the void, its branches hanging down.
Dozens of branches instantly split into hundreds, then thousands, piercing through space and sweeping up a large number of skeletons.
The speed was too fast, far exceeding the skeletons and Lin Moyu's reaction.
The skeletons were swept up and then exploded.
They died one by one, unable to resist.
The All-Encompassing Connection talent became useless at this moment.
Some skeletons had already been killed directly, making Lin Moyu realize that his talent wasn't omnipotent.
The enemy had means to bypass his talent.
The rotting giant tree, once a god, had similar abilities.
Lin Moyu didn't know if this ability was a talent or something else.
He wasn't at that level and couldn't understand.
The rotting giant tree appeared for just over two seconds, killing thousands of skeletons.
The undead army had already lost a third, now only 10,000 remained.
There were still 22 seconds left of the minute, and it was uncertain if they could hold on.
The fewer the undead army, the faster they would collapse.
The undead army was rapidly dwindling.
Time seemed to stretch endlessly, with large numbers of skeletons dying every second.
Dongfang Yao was clearly nearing the end, the barrier's light growing brighter.
Hold on, just hold on a bit longer.
Another 10 seconds passed.
The undead army was reduced to less than 4,000, the rate of loss accelerating.
Lin Moyu's eyes darkened; the last 10 seconds would be the hardest.
A flash of light appeared in his hand, and he took out the Genesis Scepter.
This was his last trump card, with three chances to unleash an attack equivalent to level 90.
Level 90, the realm of gods.
Whether pseudo-gods or true gods, reaching level 90 meant they were not weak.
The moment he took out the Genesis Scepter, the six mountain peaks trembled, and terrifying auras surged towards him.
He suddenly realized he had made a mistake.
The corpses here had fought to the death for the Genesis Scepter.
Even in death, their obsession with the Genesis Scepter hadn't disappeared.
Taking out the Genesis Scepter was like attracting all the firepower.
But if he didn't use it, he might die anyway.
The rotting giant tree in the sky locked onto Lin Moyu, and all its decayed branches shot towards him like lightning.
Lin Moyu instantly felt the threat of death.
Determination rose in his eyes, and he raised the Genesis Scepter, aiming at the rotting giant tree.
