Chapter 482: All Within Calculations

The ninth passage, the final passage, and also the most difficult one.

According to the map provided by Antares, once Lin Moyu passed through this passage, he would reach the location of the giant crystal.

At that time, he only needed to drip the blood given by Antares onto the crystal to complete their deal.

Lin Moyu had already formulated a specific strategy while waiting for the Undying Aura to cool down, and now he was implementing it step by step.

As long as there were no accidents, there shouldn't be any problems.

Lin Moyu disliked accidents, so he always prepared multiple contingencies.

One of the contingencies was leaving 10,000 Skeleton Archers outside the passage.

Even after entering the passage, when the path behind him disappeared, Lin Moyu tried summoning a Skeleton Archer back. Finding no issues, he was finally relieved.

The disappearance of the passage did not affect the summoning and dismissal between him and the skeletons.

As Lin Moyu advanced, silent lightning flashes and explosions continued to occur.

Compared to when he first entered the Burial Thunder Valley, the power of the lightning had now reached 5.5 times its initial strength.

Even the skeletal armor with a constitution of 310,000 was like paper.

Lin Moyu only advanced 500 meters before stopping to rest.

During the rest, he looked up at the three bright twinkling stars in the sky.

Three stars, three level 83 Lightning Divine Beasts.

Lin Moyu took a deep breath and continued forward after resting.

At the 990-meter mark, Lin Moyu stopped again for another rest.

This time, he dismissed all the Skeleton Berserkers.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Moyu charged forward.

The moment he crossed the 1000-meter distance, the three stars in the sky fell simultaneously.

Three Lightning Divine Beasts charged towards Lin Moyu from the starlight.

Red light flashed as the Aging Curse was cast, accompanied by the Ice Lich.

The speed of the three Lightning Divine Beasts slowed down immediately.

Lin Moyu dragged them deeper into the passage, not looking back.

The Lich Generals inside and outside the passage were busy healing, ensuring that as long as the undead army remained, Lin Moyu would not die.

Lin Moyu ran extremely fast, ignoring the lightning explosions on his body. This time, he ran an exceptionally long distance, covering over 2,000 meters in one breath. At this point, he was about 3,000 meters away from the entrance of the passage.

3,000 meters was the distance he had planned, enough to avoid the self-destruction even if all three Lightning Divine Beasts detonated together.

There were rules in the Burial Thunder Valley, and everything, including encountering enemies every 1,000 meters and the self-destruction of the Lightning Divine Beasts, followed predetermined rules.

He had now grasped most of the rules and knew what to do.

5,000 Skeleton Berserkers appeared, quickly taking over the aggro from Lin Moyu and surrounding the three Lightning Divine Beasts.

Lin Moyu swiftly retreated, withdrawing to a distance of over 1,000 meters.

He did not use the [Strong Soldier] skill but instead took out the essence blood of the Poison God and began summoning the Poison Lich.

Soon, an extremely unstable Poison Lich appeared before him.

The Poison Lich charged forward like a gust of wind.

The three Lightning Divine Beasts were surrounded by the Skeleton Berserkers, almost gathered together.

This was part of Lin Moyu's plan, to gather them together so that the Poison Lich could self-destruct in their center.

If the self-destruction was successful, it could poison and kill all three of them.

This way, not only could he avoid the damage from the Ten Directions Thunder skill, but he could also avoid the self-destruction damage of the Lightning Divine Beasts.

After releasing the Poison Lich, Lin Moyu retreated again as a precaution.

In the summoning space, he still had 5,000 Skeleton Berserkers reserved, just in case.

If the poison failed to kill them, the Skeleton Berserkers could still finish them off.

After all, the Skeleton Berserkers had the highest burst damage in the undead army, especially when combined with the [Strong Soldier] skill.

Lin Moyu had estimated all possible scenarios.

He minimized accidents as much as possible.

The Poison Lich was struck by lightning as it advanced, causing its aura to become increasingly chaotic.

As Lin Moyu retreated, his gaze was fixed on the Poison Lich, fearing that it might self-destruct prematurely due to the lightning strikes.

It wasn't until he saw the Poison Lich reach the planned self-destruction point that Lin Moyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Green gas silently exploded in the valley, engulfing all three Lightning Divine Beasts.

The self-destruction range of the Poison Lich was not large, only about 30 to 40 meters.

And the Lightning Divine Beasts were gigantic, with body lengths of over 20 meters.

If Lin Moyu's calculations were not accurate, the poison would not have been able to cover them all.

In the intense poison gas, the bodies of the three Lightning Divine Beasts were visibly corroding at an astonishing speed.

The Lightning Divine Beasts were not true lifeforms, so they did not make any agonizing cries.

As their bodies corroded, the lightning within them began to leak out.

For a moment, lightning flashed everywhere.

Lin Moyu's eyes narrowed as he finally realized that the Lightning Divine Beasts were entirely composed of electric elements.

Every inch of their bodies was made of electric elements, which he had not noticed before.

Now that their bodies were corroding and leaking large amounts of electric elements, he finally discovered this.

The Lightning Divine Beasts were pure combat puppets made of electric elements.

To create such puppets, the existence behind them must be extraordinarily powerful.

Compared to the war puppets of the Dragon Clan, the Lightning Divine Beasts were like gods among mortals, completely incomparable.

The lightning suddenly surged, and Lin Moyu sensed danger, immediately retreating at top speed.

All members of the undead army inside the passage also retreated.

The Lightning Divine Beasts were about to self-destruct!

Their mechanism was to self-destruct once their damage reached a certain level.

The Poison Lich's self-destruction brought them to the brink of death in just over a second, skipping the Ten Directions Thunder skill and proceeding directly to self-destruction.

Lin Moyu was retreating frantically, with only about two seconds of time.

The lightning illuminated the passage, and the three Lightning Divine Beasts self-destructed, covering a range of 2,000 meters.

All the Skeleton Berserkers were undoubtedly killed.

However, this time, the losses were relatively smaller compared to the previous two times.

This was because Lin Moyu had used the essence blood of the Poison God and accumulated experience from the previous two times.

After the self-destruction, the passage was completely empty.

Only a mass of green poison remained, lingering for a long time without dissipating.

Three stars reappeared in the sky, dim and dull, needing a long time to recover.

Lin Moyu sighed and continued forward.

"Huh, no more lightning?"

As he walked, there were no more lightning strikes.

After a moment's thought, he realized the reason.

He had passed the test.

By defeating the three Lightning Divine Beasts, he had completely passed the trial.

If he could defeat the Lightning Divine Beasts, the lightning in the passage was no longer a threat.

Lin Moyu could roughly guess the thoughts of the person who set up this trial.

He dismissed the undead army and continued forward, summoning new Skeleton Berserkers along the way to replenish the losses.

By the time he had walked 10,000 meters through the passage, the undead army had been fully replenished.

The [Strong Soldier] skill, Undying Aura, Poison God's essence blood, and Fire God Essence were all available.

With his peak combat strength, Lin Moyu was filled with confidence.

His current mindset was completely different from when he first arrived in the lower space.

Outside the passage was a not-so-large square.

At the far end of the square stood a giant crystal, integrated with the valley.

Lin Moyu did not immediately enter the square.

He stood outside, carefully observing.

Since he had reached the final moment, he could not afford to make any mistakes.

The square was covered with various strange runes.

Lin Moyu did not recognize them, but he had seen similar ones before.

These were divine runes, a language used by deities.

Divine runes had many uses, such as conveying information or inscribing formations.

The square was circular, covered in runes, resembling some kind of formation.

Lin Moyu studied it for a while but could not figure it out.

He had to pass through this square to reach the crystal.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Moyu suddenly laughed, "Why think so much? There's no way to retreat anyway."

He realized he was being overly cautious, as he had no path for retreat.

If he didn't go forward, what else could he do?

He left the undead army outside the square and prepared himself before entering.

The moment Lin Moyu stepped into the square, the entire area lit up.

Numerous purple crystals emerged from the ground, resembling beautiful water crystals.

Inside them, electric currents could be seen flickering.

These were crystals infused with electric elements.

In the next second, all the purple crystals shot into Lin Moyu's body like lightning.
