Chapter 888: The Undead Army’s Limit; Becoming A Tank
The 2nd tier True God Dreadbeast rampaged within the undead army's tight encirclement.
Its strands of hair lashed out like vicious whips, every strike carrying overwhelming force.
Enveloped by law, each strike burst out with astonishing power.
Any skeleton struck by the whip-like strands of hair was instantly smashed apart.
Yet in the very next instant, the smashed remains reassembled under the effects of Undeath Undead, restoring every skeleton to perfect condition.
The 2nd tier True God Dreadbeast's attack power had already reached the absolute limit that the skeletons could withstand.
With a single thought, Lin Moyu ordered the skeletons to withdraw. The Death Knights and the Bone Dragons immediately surged forward to replace them on the front line.
The defenses of the Death Knights and the Bone Dragons far exceeded those of the skeletons, allowing them to barely endure the Dreadbeast's attacks.
As long as they weren't killed in a single blow, the Lich Generals could quickly heal them.
No matter how frenziedly the Dreadbeast attacked, escaping the undead army's encirclement was impossible. Reaching Lin Moyu himself was even less likely.
Lin Moyu discovered another purpose behind the assessment.
"It seems this assessment is also meant to demonstrate the combat methods of different races."
"The Human Emperor Network has detailed records of all this, but entering simulated battles to experience them firsthand requires payment."
"Here, I can learn everything for free."
A faint smile appeared on his face.
He certainly had no intention of wasting such an opportunity.
Thirty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The Dreadbeast disappeared, and Lin Moyu began preparing for the next round.
This time, his opponent would be a 3rd tier True God.
A 3rd tier True God's offensive power would far exceed what his undead army could withstand.
After a brief moment of thought, however, Lin Moyu decided to continue using the same encirclement strategy.
He wanted to discover the true limit of his undead army.
He wanted to see whether a Third-Order True God could completely break it.
"The twelfth round of the second stage: kill the enemy before you or survive for thirty minutes."
A figure materialized. Its wings spread open, casting a vast shadow that seemed to blot out even the starlight.
"Bloodkind."
The new opponent resembled the Bloodkind Lin Moyu had encountered before, but this one was noticeably taller and leaner, with wings several times larger.
As the opponent appeared, the scent of blood seemed to spread throughout the starry sky.
[Bloodkind]
[Realm: True God]
[Trait: Bloodkind can fuse their own blood with the bloodlines of other races to create blood slaves. Warning: never allow their fangs to bite you.]
The Bloodkind expert attacked the moment he appeared.
With a beat of his wings, he unleashed a torrential storm of blades.
Every blade was condensed from law and carried overwhelming destructive power.
His attack power completely surpassed the endurance limit of Lin Moyu's undead; it wouldn't even trigger the Comprehensive Link talent, allowing him to kill the undead instantly.
Even the Bone Dragons couldn't withstand the assault.
The undead fell in great swaths like wheat before a scythe.
Yet only a heartbeat later, every fallen undead rose once again.
The law art star representing Undeath Undead blazed brilliantly as it operated continuously.
Within three minutes, every undead possessed five opportunities to resurrect.
Only upon dying for the sixth time would it truly perish.
Lin Moyu had expected this from the very beginning. He simply stood in place, calmly observing the battle unfold.
Soon, the first wave of undead fulfilled its purpose.
After suffering six deaths, they finally collapsed for good.
Within his eight-star summon-type law art star, countless points of light faded away.
More than a hundred thousand undead had been permanently destroyed.
Yet less than five minutes had elapsed since the round began.
At that rate, at least half of his undead army would be wiped out before the round ended.
Of course, Lin Moyu wasn't here to throw away his troops.
He was here to test their limit.
With a thought, Lin Moyu summoned another Skeletal Divine Warrior.
The law art linkage activated instantly, and the eight law art stars flared to life.
In the blink of an eye, a Skeletal Divine Mage, a Death Knight, and a Bone Dragon emerged at astonishing speed.
The entire process was fully automated. Lin Moyu only needed to issue a single command.
The undead army's replenishments proved extraordinarily effective.
As one wave of undead was destroyed, fresh troops immediately rushed forward to fill every opening.
The replenishment rate was astounding, lagging behind the Bloodkind's slaughter by only the slightest margin.
The Bloodkind slaughtered swiftly.
Lin Moyu replenished his forces almost just as fast.
Even after thirty minutes of relentless combat, the undead army had barely shrunk.
The results left him thoroughly satisfied.
Being able to replenish casualties continuously in the middle of battle elevated the undead army's endurance to an entirely new level.
"Let's try a 4th tier True God."
Lin Moyu decided to test whether his army could withstand the combat power of a 4th tier True God.
By now, this assessment had become his personal testing ground.
During the ten-minute waiting period, the undead army had fully recovered, once again reaching its peak strength of 1.49 million.
Soon, a new opponent materialized.
A 4th tier True God appeared in the starry sky.
This time, it was a Demon.
Not a Demons from the Abyss World, but a true Demon.
[Demon]
[Realm: True God]
[Trait: possesses Demon bloodline; combat power stands at the very top peak among beings of the same tier.]
The Demon Race possessed terrifying combat prowess, virtually unrivaled among opponents of the same rank.
The moment the Demon appeared, his savage gaze pierced through the undead army and locked directly onto Lin Moyu.
His eyes overflowed with bloodlust and cruelty.
The Human Emperor Network's simulation was so realistic that he was indistinguishable from a real Demon.
The Demon let out a thunderous roar and threw a punch.
The starry sky trembled violently as an enormous fist condensed overhead, blotting out the heavens.
With that single punch, nearly half of the undead army was annihilated.
Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat.
The power behind that single strike far exceeded his expectations.
How could the gap between a 3rd tier Transcendent God and a 4th tier True God be so enormous?
Or was the difference this overwhelming simply because his opponent belonged to the Demon Race?
The fallen undead resurrected the very next second.
But then the Demon's second and third punches came crashing down.
The freshly revived undead were obliterated all over again.
Lin Moyu's expression grew solemn.
At this rate, the undead army wouldn't survive even a few minutes.
The Demon's destructive power had completely surpassed the undead army's endurance.
No matter how fast his reinforcements arrived, they simply couldn't keep up.
With a beat of his Deathwings, Lin Moyu shot into the air and placed himself directly between the Demon and his undead army, serving as a tank.
The Demon's true target had always been Lin Moyu.
Seeing him approach, the Demon immediately unleashed a furious assault.
Taking advantage of the opening, the undead army rapidly dispersed while the Lich Generals hurriedly cast their healing spells.
Lin Moyu's intervention immediately stabilized the situation.
His defenses far surpassed those of the undead army.
After layer upon layer of damage reduction, the Demon's attacks could no longer wipe out the undead army in a single blow.
The Lich Generals finally had enough time to keep everyone alive.
Lin Moyu cast Bone Armor on himself.
In the next moment, the law art linkage activated.
Brilliant white light engulfed the Demon.
Bone Prison, Bone Fangs, and Bone Spear manifested one after another around the Demon.
As long as the Demon continued attacking Lin Moyu, the bone-type law art counterattacks would continue triggering without end.
Lin Moyu had become like a hedgehog.
Strike him once, and countless spikes lashed back in return.
Although these bone-type law arts couldn't inflict meaningful damage on the Demon, they served as an endless stream of harassment.
Meanwhile, Lin Moyu continuously cycled through his other law arts.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength was simply too great.
A full major realm and three minor realms separated them.
None of his attacks could inflict the slightest damage upon the Demon.
Even so, Lin Moyu was equally certain of one thing.
If a 4th tier True God hoped to kill… it wasn't going to be that easy.
