Chapter 3157: Lord Wentian Is Really a Good Person
Lin Moyu felt Lord Wentian was truly a good person, bringing him here to such a great place.
As long as he operated properly, Skeleton Hell could eat to its heart's content here, constantly growing stronger.
When one day Skeleton Hell devoured the entire Scarlet Fire Dao, who knew how strong it would become, whether it could become a true hell.
The possibility wasn't zero, but the specifics still depended on the actual situation.
After a full three days, Skeleton Hell finally devoured this smallest Dao fragment.
The power in the Dao fragment was completely absorbed. Howls of hell fiends constantly came from Skeleton Hell. The Netherworld Black Dragon also poked out its head, roaring angrily from time to time.
After devouring one Dao fragment, the effect was similar to devouring a low-level Origin Spirit Vein.
The hell fiends became more powerful. Although they hadn't broken through to the next realm, their strength had indeed increased.
The Netherworld Black Dragon was the same. Especially after countless times gnawing on the Dao fragment, its teeth became sharper. The Dao fragment had helped it sharpen its teeth.
"After eating a few more fragments, they should be able to break through."
Lin Moyu's gaze searched through the void, again finding a Dao fragment that was farthest away and not very large.
The Wings of Time vibrated lightly. Lin Moyu silently approached.
From afar, he saw the blood-colored lake on the Dao fragment. In the center of the blood-colored lake was a huge bone.
There were 1500 Bloody rat monsters on this Dao fragment, 500 more than before.
The Bloody Legion used 500 as a base number.
Whether increasing or decreasing, it was always based on 500.
This Dao fragment was slightly larger, so the Bloody Legion stationed more troops on it.
All 1500 Bloody rat monsters were two-winged rat generals, fourth-level Dao Venerable. There were no fifth-level Dao Venerable four-winged rat generals.
Lin Moyu approached, not moving the undead army. He suppressed his aura. When still over ten thousand li away, he pointed his finger.
Space distorted slightly.
Countless hell fiends rushed out, charging towards the Bloody rat monsters with bared teeth and claws.
The appearance of Bloody rat monsters was already ferocious enough, but compared to hell fiends, they were far inferior.
This group of fearless fiends from hell pounced on the Bloody rat monsters like wolves and tigers, biting with open mouths.
The Bloody rat monsters were suddenly attacked. By the time they reacted, it was already too late.
With their strength, once surrounded by Skeleton Hell, there was no possibility of escape.
Hell fiends crawled onto them, forcibly entangling them with hands and feet, firmly grasping and refusing to let go.
Extremely sharp teeth bit down mouthful after mouthful. Each bite could tear off large pieces of flesh and blood.
Blood sprayed, dyeing the ground of the Dao fragment black-red.
For a time, blood flowed like rivers on the Dao fragment. Large amounts of fresh blood gathered towards the central blood-colored lake.
The Bloody rat monsters struggled and resisted frantically, but it was useless. They couldn't escape at all, not even make a sound.
In just ten minutes, 1500 fourth-level Dao Venerable two-winged Bloody rat generals were eaten without a trace left.
After eating the Bloody rat monsters, the hell fiends rushed into the blood-colored lake, starting to devour the fresh blood inside and gnaw on the bone. The sound of gnawing constantly came, making one's teeth ache.
This bone was slightly larger than before, with four balls of Scarlet Blood Essence inside.
Lin Moyu used the Luck Dao, condensing it into a blade to cut off the connection between the fragment and the main body.
The hell fiends began to formally gnaw on the Dao fragment. This was the main course. Before was just an appetizer.
At this time, the Netherworld Black Dragon came out, using the Dao fragment to sharpen its teeth.
The Dao fragment became smaller and smaller, until four days later, it completely disappeared in the void.
The hell fiends strengthened again, getting closer and closer to fifth-level Dao Venerable.
Again choosing a Dao fragment, Lin Moyu repeated the process.
In this special void, every few days, a Dao fragment would disappear.
There were many Dao fragments, thousands upon thousands. A few less wouldn't attract attention.
Moreover, Lin Moyu's choices were very clever. He always chose the outermost ones, farthest from other fragments.
He ate away bit by bit, not alarming the Bloody rat monsters on other fragments.
Finally, after devouring ten Dao fragments in a row, Skeleton Hell finally advanced.
The hell fiends roared excitedly non-stop, their realms breaking through together, advancing to fifth-level Dao Venerable.
The Netherworld Black Dragon also opened its mouth to spew dragon breath. Dragon cries resounded through Skeleton Hell one after another.
Amidst the screams of hell fiends and the Netherworld Black Dragon, Skeleton Hell's own space became more solid.
Even seventh-level Dao Venerables would need to exert some effort to shatter Skeleton Hell's space.
Below seventh-level Dao Venerable, once trapped in Skeleton Hell, without some powerful treasure or powerful secret technique, there was no hope of escape.
Lin Moyu felt Skeleton Hell's changes, his eyes showing some regret.
"Skeleton Hell has indeed become stronger, but unfortunately the Gates of Hell haven't become more complete."
"It seems that to make the Gates of Hell more complete and hell stronger, we still need to absorb hell fragments. Neither Origin Spirit Veins nor Dao fragments help much in restoring the Gates of Hell."
Initially, Origin crystals and Origin Spirit Veins had helped restore the Gates of Hell.
But their effect was too weak. After the Gates of Hell recovered to a certain degree, their effect disappeared.
Next, hell fragments were needed to restore the Gates of Hell.
Lin Moyu had a feeling that to make hell reappear, the Gates of Hell needed to be completely restored.
The Gates of Hell were the true core of the entire Skeleton Hell.
Those patterns on the Gates of Hell hid great secrets.
After Skeleton Hell became stronger, Lin Moyu continued according to his previous plan, devouring Dao fragments step by step.
As for the Bloody Legions on the Dao fragments, they became secondary. Even the task given by Lord Wentian wasn't so important now.
Lin Moyu preferred tangible benefits. Devouring Dao fragments could bring him tangible benefits.
If he could raise Skeleton Hell to eighth-level Dao Venerable, then he could strut around the Origin Continent. Killing a ninth-level Dao Venerable wouldn't be difficult.
Skeleton Hell killing enemies one realm higher was commonplace.
Time passed bit by bit. The small Dao fragments were eaten up. Lin Moyu began to target those slightly larger Dao fragments.
On those Dao fragments, at least over five thousand Bloody rat monsters were stationed, and four-winged rat generals and six-winged rat generals appeared.
Before Skeleton Hell advanced, dealing with sixth-level Dao Venerable six-winged rat generals would have been somewhat troublesome.
After advancing, it was enough to trap six-winged rat generals to death.
Skeleton Hell's advancement became slower and slower. Previously it had advanced to fifth-level Dao Venerable after devouring ten Dao fragments.
Now to advance again from fifth-level Dao Venerable, the number of Dao fragments needed increased geometrically.
From Skeleton Hell's power changes, Lin Moyu predicted at least fifty Dao fragments were needed to advance.
This number would only be more, not less.
Outside the Ancient Battle Secret Realm, countless numbers on the huge stone tablet were flashing.
Sixty days had passed since the Ancient Battle Secret Realm opened. During this time, the numbers constantly changed.
Some numbers would suddenly turn gray, representing that person had died.
According to the number's clan affiliation, someone would immediately fill in.
On a large floating stone in the air outside the secret realm, highest in position and largest, was where the royal clan leaders discussed matters.
Many of their decisions would affect the future direction of the beast races.
The leaders of the ten royal clans gathered together. They hadn't gone in. Those who went in were clan elders.
Jin Mie looked at the Celestial Fox clan leader, "Old Su, can your clan have someone join the Divine Rune Army this time?"
