 Chapter 2067: Seeing Them as a Joke

On the seventh round of the secret realm, Lin Moyu finally felt a bit of pressure.

From this round onwards, the rune beasts in the secret realm had all reached the ninth tier of the God Sovereign level, barely qualifying as peak God Sovereigns.

Even with the Legion Commander leading the Death Dragon Knight Legion, it took some effort to eliminate them.

Lin Moyu observed this and thought, "Next time, I'll have to deploy the Skeleton King."

Fortunately, each round of the secret realm lasted ten hours, and the secret realm wasn't very large, so Lin Moyu didn't need to rush.

He summoned 300 units of the Death Dragon Knight Legion, distributing them throughout the secret realm to clear out the rune beasts.

This level of difficulty was indeed very high for other cultivators.

Even peak God Sovereigns would struggle against the onslaught of rune beasts, and they would eventually tire, unable to fight indefinitely.

Not to mention the eighth round, even the fourth round, facing a large number of eighth-tier God Sovereign rune beasts, would exhaust peak God Sovereigns, especially with the presence of guardian rune beasts.

Lin Moyu followed behind the Death Dragon Knight Legion, carefully observing the distribution of trees and considering the placement of flowers and grass.

Gradually, he frowned as he noticed the difficulty of the runes in the secret realm had increased again.

Lin Moyu saw that this time, the runes had become threefold.

There were runes on all sides, the top, and the bottom.

Moreover, the runes were scattered, with parts of the top runes on the ground and parts of the ground runes on the sides.

They were connected in a peculiar way, some by vines, some by the veins of flowers and grass.

They formed an intricate pattern, interwoven with each other.

The runes were scattered and distributed across various areas, and Lin Moyu had to reassemble them through these subtle connections to draw the correct runes.

There were countless runes, and some were very similar. A slight misunderstanding could result in drawing the wrong rune, and the final fused rune would also be incorrect, preventing the Wood God Flower from appearing.

Previously, Lin Moyu could quickly find the correct runes, but this time, his speed slowed down. He combined and restored various detailed pieces of information in his mind.

Outside the secret realm, God Sovereigns arrived every day.

At this moment, the arena had been set up, but no God Sovereigns were fighting.

They weren't in a hurry; Lin Moyu was the center of their attention.

Almost every conversation included Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu had been in the secret realm for many days and had not come out.

Some even speculated that Lin Moyu might have died inside.

Although the Wood God Secret Realm wasn't particularly dangerous, it wasn't entirely without risk.

Some people had died in the secret realm because they didn't use escape talismans in time.

Such cases were rare, but they did happen occasionally. If Lin Moyu had indeed died inside, it wouldn't be surprising.

However, when Yu Chengfeng heard this, he immediately refuted it.

Even the scholarly Yu Chengfeng showed disdain for such remarks.

He knew very well how strong Lin Moyu was.

Even if he were to fight Lin Moyu to the death, he knew he would be the one to die.

The idea that Lin Moyu would die in the secret realm was impossible.

But Yu Chengfeng didn't say much; he let them speculate.

He told the God Sovereigns of the Yu family, "Just wait for the news of Mr. Lin clearing the secret realm and watch these old guys' faces."

The Yu family God Sovereigns all smiled, looking at the other God Sovereigns as if they were a joke.

Four hours later, Lin Moyu finally successfully drew the runes for the eighth round.

Three seemingly simple basic runes were perfectly fused together using the soul as a bridge, forming a new rune.

The fusion of three runes was a challenge for many rune masters and not easy to achieve.

Only rune masters above the seventh tier could possibly complete the fusion of three runes, and even then, it wasn't always successful.

As for perfect fusion, it was even more unlikely.

After the runes fused, they exploded in the air, creating a huge gap in the secret realm.

Countless mists poured out from the gap, and a giant tree, thousands of meters tall, grew from the mist.

"A starry sky giant tree?"

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. This tree resembled the starry sky giant tree but was formed by runes, merely simulating its appearance.

Behind the giant tree was a Wood God Flower with nine petals.

The runes had become more difficult, the secret realm's difficulty had increased, and even the appearance of the Wood God Flower had changed.

Lin Moyu smiled, "The Heavenly Lord's tricks are indeed numerous, making it seem a bit more advanced."

The guardian rune beast, the giant tree, launched an attack on Lin Moyu. The Legion Commander led the Death Dragon Knight Legion to meet it head-on.

A hundred thousand Death Dragon Knights surrounded the giant tree in layers.

The Legion Commander charged at the forefront, raising his battle blade for a fatal strike.

The fatal strike was his strongest attack, gathering the power of the entire legion.

With one slash, a large swath of light was brought up, cutting off countless branches.

But when the blade fell on the rune beast giant tree, it couldn't advance any further.

The giant tree's strong defense blocked the Legion Commander's attack.

The Death Dragon Knights breathed dragon fire, and the undying flames, carrying the undying laws, burned fiercely.

But they still couldn't harm it.

The guardian rune beast frantically swung its branches, and any Death Dragon Knight hit by them was instantly shattered.

In one round of attacks, tens of thousands of Death Dragon Knights were killed, with half the legion dead or injured.

The undying necromancy spell was activated, and the Death Dragon Knights were resurrected, continuing the fierce battle.

The Death Dragon Knights and the Legion Commander couldn't truly harm the guardian rune beast, and the guardian rune beast couldn't kill them all either.

Lin Moyu knew that if this continued, there would be no result even after days and nights of fighting.

With limited time, he lightly tapped his finger.

The Skeleton King's throne emerged from the undying flames.

The ten-thousand-meter-tall Skeleton King stood towering in the secret realm.

The bone sword swung in the flames, slashing out a beam of sword light.

Spell: God-Slaying!

Signature spell, God-Slaying Slash!

The sword light exploded on the guardian rune beast, creating a huge hole, almost cutting it in half.

The Skeleton King was a true peak God Sovereign, stronger than the guardian rune beast.

With just one slash, the guardian rune beast was half-dead.

The Skeleton King charged forward, and sword light rained down like a storm.

In an instant, the guardian rune beast was shattered into pieces.

Lin Moyu couldn't help but sigh, "The difference in combat power between high-tier God Sovereigns is like heaven and earth."

The Legion Commander, at the peak of the eighth tier, could only scratch its surface.

The Death Dragon Knights couldn't even harm it; it still required the Skeleton King to settle the matter.

With the Wood God Flower in hand, Lin Moyu stepped into the portal, starting the eighth round of the secret realm.

The difficulty of the eighth and ninth rounds increased again, but the increase was not significant and was resolved by Lin Moyu.

Until he obtained the ninth high-tier Wood God Flower, a pitch-black portal appeared before him.

The portal looked like a devouring monster, seemingly ready to swallow Lin Moyu.

Behind the portal, a vortex was faintly spinning.

All the changes indicated that the tenth round would be extraordinary.
