 **Chapter 1287: Playing with Skeletons All Day, Only to Be Played by Skeletons**

The ancient tomb had appeared on the battlefield for tens of thousands of years. It absorbed the laws of death from the battlefield, absorbing the power of all those who died in this area, making it its own.

The fountain had accumulated enough power, going from dry to spouting again. 

The undying flame had accumulated enough power to start nourishing the skeleton general's bones on the throne.

The bones were growing larger, with the spark of life deep inside being nurtured.

It was going to be revived!

Not only the skeleton general was going to be revived, but the entire cemetery, this tomb for war, was going to be revived.

Thinking of this, Lin Moyu suddenly leapt up from the throne onto the coffin.

Standing on the spacious edge of the coffin, he carefully looked inside.

He remembered that when the meteor shower of flames appeared earlier, a ball of flame had crashed straight into the coffin.

But before that, he had looked into the coffin, and it was empty.

The two didn't match.

Now that he had guessed the purpose of the skeleton general and the ancient tomb, Lin Moyu couldn't help but check the coffin again.

If the skeleton general was to be revived, he was still missing the most important thing - the soul flame.

The soul flame was the foundation for skeletons, just like the soul for living beings. The soul flame was the core for the skeleton general's revival.

The coffin was completely empty, visible at a glance.

Except for some gray ash, there was nothing.

The gray ash seemed to be what he had seen in the previous scene - the meteor shower of flames that had crashed into the coffin.

Lin Moyu couldn't be sure about this.

He carefully sensed it, and after a few seconds, his gaze shifted, finally landing on the torch behind the throne.

Looking up along the torch, he saw the undying flame at the very top.

A skeleton appeared beside him, connecting to his undead vision.

The colors of the world changed, and the undying flame gradually dimmed. In the center of the flame, a soul flame was vigorously and fiercely pulsating.

"It's actually here!"

The skeleton general's soul flame did exist, but it wasn't in the coffin or on the throne. Instead, it was inside the undying flame.

He was using the undying flame to nurture his soul flame.

Before his true revival, he would only follow the rules from before he slept.

Just like the skeleton soldiers in the cemetery, following the rules from before they slept to guard the cemetery.

Lin Moyu didn't know what level the skeleton soldiers in the cemetery were at that time.

Now they were at the third stage of god-king, but they definitely weren't at that level back then.

Otherwise, mere third-stage god-kings wouldn't have the qualifications to suppress a rebellion - they would be like sending dishes to a feast.

Because the expedition to suppress the rebellion had failed, and the skeleton general had perished, the skeleton soldiers had died or been injured.

Although they were later revived by secret methods, the entire skeleton army was no longer as powerful as before.

If he went down now and the skeleton general revived in the future, with the skeleton army regaining its backbone, they could recover in an extremely short time.

At that time, it's hard to say what the situation on the battlefield would become.

Lin Moyu didn't know how powerful the skeleton general was, but just the fact that he had existed for countless years meant he couldn't be compared to a god sovereign.

If such an existence was revived, it would have a huge impact on the entire battlefield.

The moment Lin Moyu saw the soul flame, it began to pulsate violently.

It seemed to have sensed Lin Moyu's gaze.

Lin Moyu's heart pounded fiercely, a sense of immense danger arising from the depths of his heart, pervading his entire body and soul. He had never felt this way before, not even when facing the second avatar of the Abyssal Dragon Demon. Lin Moyu felt like he was going to die.

This was the skeleton general's soul flame. He hadn't revived, had no consciousness, but Lin Moyu's prying had provoked his retaliation.

This was an instinct, but this instinct was already strong enough to kill him.

Lin Moyu felt as if he had been locked onto by an ancient ferocious beast, unable to escape.

The gray flame flickered, and a beam of fire fell, landing on Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu couldn't move or dodge, instantly turning into a human torch.

The gray flame, also known as the undying flame by the skeleton general, was imbued with a dense aura of death, almost the same as the power of death in the undying laws.

But to Lin Moyu's surprise, the undying flame didn't harm him.

It wasn't because of his passive spell immunity ability. The gray flame contained powerful laws, rendering spell immunity useless.

What truly allowed him to be unharmed was the undying laws. His entire body was filled with the undying laws, which seemed to form a barrier, blocking the gray flame.

"The undying flame mentioned by the skeleton general really does have a connection with my undying laws."

"If not exactly the same, they must have a profound connection."

Lin Moyu's heart sank, his connection with the mysterious manor and the ancient tomb deepening once again.

This wasn't a good thing, but it piqued his curiosity.

The danger still existed, and Lin Moyu still couldn't move.

An immense power enveloped him, suppressing him.

Outside their soul worlds, a giant skeleton skull appeared.

This was the skeleton general's consciousness, intent on killing anyone who dared to pry into his affairs.

The skeleton skull roared, and red light suddenly emerged from its empty eye sockets, like two sharp swords piercing a crystal barrier.

Lin Moyu's soul world shook violently, and the crystal barrier let out a creaking sound, as if unable to bear the weight, with numerous cracks rapidly appearing on its surface.

Lin Moyu's soul suddenly opened its eyes. This was the second time he had encountered such a powerful soul attack. The first time was from the Empty Sound Buddha of the Buddhist race. But back then, he was still weak, and his soul world was also very weak. Now, however, he was at the peak of the fourth grade of the True God realm, with a jade soul tinged with purple. Ordinary god sovereigns couldn't easily break through his soul's defenses.

Yet the skeleton general had easily done so, and this was merely his instinctual consciousness.

Lin Moyu's soul power rapidly surged, maintaining his soul world.

At the same time, he was shocked. The skeleton general's strength was truly terrifying, perhaps even surpassing a god sovereign.

The soul was the foundation, and one's strength could be seen from the soul.

Lin Moyu exerted all his effort to maintain his soul world, but the cracks on the crystal barrier continued to expand.

The branches of the Talent Tree extended from his soul world, wildly whipping towards the skeleton skull.

The red light exploded, and the branches of the Talent Tree were instantly shattered into dust.

The Talent Tree retracted in pain, the gap between them too vast.

The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal let out a fierce dragon's roar, and a divine dragon's illusory form appeared outside Lin Moyu's soul world, breathing dragon's breath towards the skeleton skull.

The skeleton skull split off a wisp of red light, sweeping it over as if it were a mere glance.

The divine dragon's illusory form instantly dissipated, and the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal, like the Talent Tree, retracted as if severely injured.

Lin Moyu felt a slight despair in his heart.

The Talent Tree and the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal had been defeated too quickly, utterly crushed.

"Am I going to die here?"

"Playing with skeletons all day, only to be killed by skeletons."

Lin Moyu's heart inexplicably produced this thought, feeling a bit ridiculous.

But the next second, he steadied his resolve.

He could die, but he couldn't die so easily.

He could still fight. The Talent Tree couldn't, the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal couldn't, but he still had his soul's main body.

This was his home field, and his soul's main body was very strong.

His soul's main body pointed a finger, and the Soul-Severing Sword flew out, slashing towards the skeleton skull.

The Soul-Severing Sword whistled as it went, with formidable might.

A red light turned towards it, striking the Soul-Severing Sword.

With a bang, the Soul-Severing Sword flew back.

Lin Moyu's soul suddenly stood up, his soul power surging.

His soul world shook, and numerous skeletons appeared, along with the Skeleton King.

The undead army couldn't appear in reality, but it could still appear in the soul world.

But facing the skeleton general, Lin Moyu had no confidence.

At this moment, the Calamity Staff in his soul's main body's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling radiance...
