Antares let out a quiet chuckle.
âA mongrel Dragon is still just a mongrel Dragon. You canât even figure out whatâs happening.â
âYou have no idea how absurd this bratâs abilities are.â
âHeâs controlling the entire rhythm of the battlefield. Just wait⊠heâll grind you guys down little by little.â
Watching everything unfold, Antares remained completely at ease. He understood Lin Moyuâs abilities better than anyone.
At this pace, even if the battle dragged on for a year, the undead army wouldnât suffer a single casualty.
Lin Moyu was exploiting time gaps and resurrection mechanics, splitting his forces into waves and divisions.
By tightly controlling the tempo, he ensured his undead army didnât lose even one unit.
Meanwhile, the Dragonkind were suffering heavy losses. After repeated clashes, their casualties had already exceeded 100,000.
The death translated into a massive amount of EXP.
A surge of white light enveloped Lin Moyu as he had officially reached level 82. His soul force rose sharply once more.
âI can move the skill star cores again.â
âTime for another session of self-abuse.â
A faint smile appeared on his lips. He was about to gain two more star-grade skill star cores.
Once transformed into stars, his ordinary skills would evolve into star-grade law arts.
Though they couldnât yet carry laws, their power would far surpass anything before.
More importantly, he wanted to see if a multiple-star law art could be formed.
If he could form a five-star law art, even without laws, its power would be terrifying.
As the battle dragged on, the Dragon Emperorâs unease grew.
Something was wrong.
The Dragonkind casualties kept climbing. No matter how he adjusted his strategy, even when restricting only the high-tier Dragon Kings to fight, it made no difference.
The undead troops simply ignored them.
They surged forward relentlessly, targeting ordinary Dragonkind without hesitation.
Several times, the Dragon Emperor considered stepping in personally.
But once he activated his formation, only he could move within it. He would have to deal with the entire undead army alone.
That didnât seem like a good solution either.
Yet if he did nothing, the losses would only worsen.
At this time, in addition to the two high-tier Dragon Kings, several Dragon Kings had joined the fight, and still, they couldnât stop the undead army from targeting the ordinary Dragonkind.
The undead army came like ocean waves, one after another, endless and relentless.
âThis canât go onâŠâ
âI need to find Lin Moyu.â
With a command, the Dragon Emperor ordered all Dragon Kings to prioritize protecting the ordinary Dragonkind. Then he shot forward like lightning, searching for Lin Moyu.
He knew one thing for certain: Lin Moyu had to be nearby.
The moment the Dragon Emperor moved, Lin Moyuâs smile widened.
âFinally decided to actâŠâ
The Dragon Emperor chose the wrong direction at first, but halfway through, he spotted several skeletons.
And in that instant, he understood, âSo thatâs it!â
Lin Moyu deliberately sent the undead troops to predetermined positions before launching the attacks, all to hide his own location.
Confident in his deduction, the Dragon Emperor traced their origin. He was certain Lin Moyu would be there.
But once again, he found nothing.
At that moment, above the emperor city, Lin Moyu suddenly revealed himself.
Two level 93 Skeletal Kings appeared beside him.
Both Enhance Troops and Focus Power activated simultaneously, pushing all attributes to the peak.
In perfect sync, Lin Moyu and the Skeletal Kings swung their swords and unleashed Godslayer.
Three arcs of sword light flashed past, and several ordinary Dragon Kings were killed on the spot.
The entire sequence flowed smoothly like water and unbelievably fast.
Before their bodies even fell, skeletons had already rushed forward, retrieving the Dragon Crystals.
Lin Moyu raised a finger, and purple Godslaying Lightning struck the nearest high-tier Dragon Kingânot once, but three times in a row.
The lightning carrier half-step Transcendent God-level power, turning an area thousands of meters wide into a sea of lightning.
The high-tier Dragon King was instantly reduced to charcoal and killed.
With a single flap of his Deathwings, Lin Moyu appeared beside the corpse, snatching the Dragon Crystal.
At this time, the skeletons had already extracted the other Dragon Crystals, and Lin Moyu stored them in his storage space.
The entire operation took less than a second.
Every movement was executed with surgical precision, as if rehearsed countless times.
Because it had been.
Then, the space around him suddenly became viscous.
Everything ground to a halt.
âLin Moyu, you deserve to die!â
The Dragon Emperor, driven to the brink of madness, charged forward and swung greataxe.
A cold sneer curled on Lin Moyuâs lips. Behind him stretched the Dragonkind emperor city, teeming with countless Dragonkind.
If that blow landed, thousands upon thousands of Dragonkind would perish, and half the city would be reduced to rubble.
The Dragon Emperor had completely lost his reason. In that moment, only one thought remained: to kill Lin Moyu.
Who could have imagined that in the instant he had been lured away, the Dragonkind would suffer such catastrophic losses?
Only now did Dragon Emperor realize he had been played.
Every move Lin Moyu made had been a calculated trap to draw him away. And he had fallen for it completely.
In that single instantâŠ
A thought filled his mind: âTear Lin Moyu into 10,000 pieces.â
Facing the frenzied Dragon Emperor, Lin Moyu activated Antaresâs scale with a flicker of soul force.
Once again, the Dragon Emperorâs strike missed its target. The immense law force came crashing down.
There were many Dragonkind behind Lin Moyu, and they were instantly reduced to ashes.
The greataxe followed, slamming into the emperor city. With a thunderous roar, a vast section collapsed, crumbling into ruin.
Suspended in the air, the Dragon Emperorâs eyes bled.
He knew Lin Moyu had escaped, vanished without a trace.
Just like before, he had slipped away using a method beyond his comprehension.
The Dragon Emperor roared again in a frenzy, letting out roar after roar.
Yet no matter how he howled, even if it shook the heavens, it was futile.
In blind rage, he swung the greataxe again and again, tearing through space itself, carving open pitch-black fissures.
To the human race watching from afar, the Dragon Emperor truly seemed driven insane, pushed to the brink by Lin Moyu.
Then, the projections ended, disappearing as Lin Moyu left.
âGodly General Lin is unbelievable.â
âI think the Dragon Emperor has completely lost it.â
âAt least 100,000 Dragonkind died this time. Even five Dragon Kings fell.â
âThe Dragonkind suffered heavy losses. But compared to our blood feud with them, itâs still nothing.â
âIf I had Godly General Linâs power, Iâd storm the Dragonkind World and wipe them out completely.â
âNot just the Dragonkindâthe Abyss Demons should be exterminated too.â
Unbeknownst to Lin Moyu, Antaresâs broadcast had ignited humanityâs morale.
Countless humans began to idolize him, taking him as their goal.
More and more people became Lin Moyuâs die-hard fans.
The power of faith grew stronger once again, flowing toward him in an endless stream.
âŠ
Antares grinned mischievously at Lin Moyu, âDo you realize? That mongrel Dragon is on the verge of losing his mind.â
Lin Moyu shook his head, âHe wonât break that easily. Otherwise, he wouldnât be worthy of being the Dragon Emperor.â
Antares smirked, clearly eager to do something, âYouâve leveled up again. Planning to self-abuse some more?â
Lin Moyu produced the Genesis Scepter along with five Dragon Crystals, âBefore that, I need to repair this.â
One of the Dragon Crystals stood out, entwined with law. It belonged to a high-tier Dragon King.
Antaresâs voice lowered, âYou wonât be able to fix it like that.â
