 Chapter 3129: Years of Common Sense Shattered

Lin Moyu stood at the edge of the vast ocean, looking at the islands.

He discovered that a strange power enveloped the entire ocean.

The feeling was similar to the space barrier at the Blue Stone Bridge before, but the power here was much stronger.

This let Lin Moyu know that what he was seeing now wasn't the full picture.

Only by passing through this barrier could he truly see what was happening.

Lin Moyu continued approaching the task point. When he was ten thousand meters away, he saw a warship - a Divine Rune Army warship.

Seeing the Divine Rune Army warship, Lin Moyu already knew this task was on the ship.

He flew directly onto the warship. There were many Divine Rune Army soldiers on board. When they saw Lin Moyu, they all saluted him at once.

Lin Moyu was now an eighth-grade general. Ordinary Divine Rune Army soldiers naturally had to salute him.

At this time, a message entered his mind.

[Exterminate the Bloody Legion on the islands of the Northern Coastal Sea, independently exterminate at least one island.]

Lin Moyu triggered the task. The task was as he thought - to exterminate the Bloody Legion on the islands.

Each island had ten thousand Blood Rat monsters. The weakest were fifth-level Dao Venerable two-winged rat generals.

The strongest was that seventh-level Dao Venerable six-winged rat general.

If an ordinary sixth-level Dao Venerable cultivator received this task, if he was also an eighth-grade general, summoning 40,000 sixth-level Dao Venerable Divine Rune Army soldiers plus the seal's strengthening ability, exterminating one island wouldn't be difficult.

Even that six-winged rat general wouldn't be too hard to deal with.

As long as one was willing to pay some price, it could certainly be killed.

The only difficulty was that those islands would certainly support each other.

But similarly, the Divine Rune Army would also have large troops acting. They could completely let them lead the charge. Then one just needed to choose a suitable island to attack to avoid this problem.

This task was the most suitable for others to do among all the tasks Lin Moyu had received so far.

The only requirement was sixth-level Dao Venerable, then being a general. Even a ninth-grade general could do it.

The task could indeed be done, but to over-fulfill it was still very difficult.

The task required extermination, meaning not one left.

After a great battle, one's Divine Rune Army would certainly suffer considerable losses, possibly not having enough strength left to attack another island.

To over-fulfill the task, one must exterminate multiple islands. As for how many, naturally the more the better.

Lin Moyu pondered the task information, considering what he should do next.

His undead army far outnumbered the Bloody Legion, but was somewhat inferior in combat power.

Skeleton generals were only fourth-level Dao Venerable, as was the Dragon Cavalry Corps.

Even with legion commanders commanding, they could only fight two-winged rat generals. Wearing down four-winged rat generals would take considerable time.

There wasn't just one four-winged rat general. Each island had over a thousand four-winged rat generals, plus one even stronger six-winged rat general.

Only by having Five Elements Sword Demon and Flame North take action could efficiency be higher.

But this way, it would be difficult to divide forces. Originally Lin Moyu wanted to use his numerical advantage to attack multiple islands simultaneously.

"If only the seal's strengthening ability could be used on the undead army."

"Combined with the Origin-level technique's strengthening, that would be enough to deal with the rat generals on the islands."

"Flame North could quickly solo kill the six-winged rat general. Five Elements Sword Demon could also cooperate with Buddhist Lich and Fate Lich to quickly kill the six-winged rat general. And I could use Gather Power combined with strengthening to deal with the six-winged rat general."

"This way, we could divide into three routes, dealing with three islands simultaneously."

Lin Moyu had an idea in mind, so he wanted to try it out.

He summoned a skeleton general while using the seal's strengthening ability.

The seal emitted a beam of rosy light, enveloping the warship.

The armor of the nearby Divine Rune Army soldiers all glowed simultaneously, their auras also rapidly increasing.

Lin Moyu was stunned, "So strengthening is effective on all Divine Rune Army soldiers."

He looked at the skeleton general, his eyes instantly flashing with joy.

"It really works!"

The skeleton general was now radiating pure white light. Though originally only fourth-level Dao Venerable, its aura now reached fifth-level Dao Venerable, rising a full realm.

Lin Moyu looked at the seal, "I really underestimated you."

Strengthening was also effective on the undead army, beyond Lin Moyu's expectations.

The seal had given too little information, making him instinctively think it could only strengthen the Divine Rune Army soldiers he summoned.

But this was a good thing. Now his plan could be smoothly implemented.

"This task can be over-fulfilled again."

Lin Moyu smiled, walking towards the interior of the warship.

The world changed. Lin Moyu passed through a barrier composed of divine runes, seeing the true Northern Coastal Sea and the Divine Rune Army.

Waves crashed against the shore, but without a sound.

Before Lin Moyu were rows of warships. These warships were much larger than the previous flying ships. Each warship could accommodate 100,000 Divine Rune Army soldiers.

There were twenty such warships now, meaning two million Divine Rune Army soldiers were here.

The Divine Rune Army soldiers' realms weren't as high as the Blood Rat generals, mostly fourth-level Dao Venerable.

But the Divine Rune Army had battle formations and strengthening abilities. Their actual combat power wasn't weak.

Then Lin Moyu looked through the warship at the Northern Coastal Sea.

The Northern Coastal Sea was much larger than seen through the space barrier earlier, with many more islands.

As far as the eye could see, hundreds of islands were scattered across the Northern Coastal Sea like stars.

Streams of bloody aura rose to the sky from the islands. The Bloody Legion had clearly prepared for a great battle.

"Friend Lin." Suddenly someone called Lin Moyu's name beside him.

In the silent world, suddenly hearing someone call his name was a very strange feeling.

But Lin Moyu still recognized the voice's owner - Su Fengze.

Then he saw Su Fengze wearing armor. Lin Moyu smiled, "Friend Su, congratulations!"

Su Fengze was still a ten-man commander, but his cultivation realm had risen from sixth-level to seventh-level Dao Venerable.

But his aura was slightly unstable, clearly having just completed the advancement.

"What's there to congratulate? I actually didn't want to advance so quickly." Su Fengze put away his armor, sighing deeply, even somewhat regretful.

Then he showed a puzzled expression, "Friend Lin, how did you come here?"

Lin Moyu said, "I came to do a task."

Su Fengze said, "Do a task? The task of exterminating the Bloody Legion in the Northern Coastal Sea?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

Su Fengze cried out strangely, "Friend Lin, don't joke. This is the last task in the mid-level area!"

Lin Moyu nodded, "I know. After completing this task, I'll go to the high-level area."

Su Fengze looked at Lin Moyu with disbelief, his expression odd. As a clever Celestial Fox clan member, he had guessed a possibility.

Although this possibility was low, it was the only answer.

He asked softly, "Friend Lin, may I ask your current military rank?"

Lin Moyu frankly took out his seal, "See for yourself."

"Eighth... grade... general!"

Su Fengze uttered four words with difficulty. His eyes were slightly unfocused. Years of common sense were shattered at this moment. He had some trouble accepting reality.
