Catastrophic Necromancer TL

 Chapter 3268: Breakthrough to Fourth Level Dao Venerable

After hearing Lin Moyu's transmission, Long Wei decisively ordered all the dragon race elders to stop fighting and return.

From the moment the undead legions appeared, the dragon race elders had already disengaged.

Those giant beasts were already surrounded by the undead legions. Even if the elders wanted to intervene, they couldn't. They were basically just watching.

Now receiving Long Wei's order, they all retreated.

Ao Luo asked curiously, "Clan Leader, what's the deal with these skeletons?"

Long Wei said, "It's Elder Lin. Elder Lin said we don't need to handle this, he can hold off these giant beasts."

Only then did some dragon race elders notice that Lin Moyu wasn't present.

An elder asked, "Where's Elder Lin? How come we don't see him?"

Regarding this newly joined honorary elder, several dragon race elders were actually very curious, but never had the chance to ask.

The elders who had gone to the Buddhist clan with Ao Luo weren't surprised. They had witnessed Lin Moyu's abilities, and seemed unsurprised no matter what amazing things Lin Moyu did.

Long Wei said, "Elder Lin is in the dragon blood waterfall."

Everyone looked towards the dragon blood waterfall. They could vaguely see a figure sitting under the waterfall, enduring the dragon blood's impact.

An elder drew in a sharp breath, "Third level Dao Venerable, entering the dragon blood waterfall, how did he do it?"

Ao Luo joked, "You can go ask Elder Lin yourself."

That elder quickly shook his head, "Do you think I'm an idiot? What's there to ask? Even if I asked, would he tell me?"

Long Wei said, "Elder Lin has superb abilities and extraordinary combat power. All elders remember, be good to Elder Lin."

Ao Luo chuckled, "You old fellows who didn't go to the Buddhist clan last time, remember well. Don't offend Elder Lin, or you won't even know how you died."

Someone seemed somewhat skeptical, "Is Elder Lin really that formidable?"

This remark drew sidelong glances from many people. They were the ones who had returned from the Buddhist clan.

Ao Luo laughed, "This time a nine-wheel Ancient Buddha of the Buddhist clan died, and the strongest insect queen of the insect race also died. Both were killed by Elder Lin. Do you think that's formidable or not?"

That person immediately shuddered. He couldn't imagine how a third level Dao Venerable could achieve such combat power.

Long Wei suppressed their discussion about Lin Moyu, "Alright, all elders wait a while. If it's confirmed there's no problem, you can return to the dragon blood lake and continue absorbing dragon blood."

Everyone had come to the ancestral grounds to absorb dragon blood. Being interrupted earlier was unavoidable. Now hearing they could continue absorbing dragon blood, everyone's faces showed joy.

It wasn't easy to open the ancestral grounds. Such a good opportunity naturally couldn't be missed.

The No. 1 Legion Commander wielded the skeleton legions and dragon rider legions, surrounding the giant beasts in countless layers.

Moreover, imperceptibly, they had shifted the battlefield outwards, gradually moving away from the dragon blood lake.

No matter how these giant beasts charged, they couldn't break out.

Although the undead legions were constantly dying, they could quickly revive. They simply couldn't be killed off.

This was the purpose of the No. 1 Legion Commander's existence - to control the entire battlefield on Lin Moyu's behalf.

This level of battle was just a small matter for it now.

Lin Moyu hadn't deployed too many undead legions. Just twenty million was enough to trap the opponents.

After watching for a while and confirming there was no problem, the elders returned to the dragon blood lake to continue absorbing power from the dragon blood to strengthen their bloodlines.

They couldn't help glancing at the dragon blood waterfall many times, their eyes full of shock and envy.

The dragon blood waterfall was the lifelong goal of many dragon race elders. They never imagined that they, as dragon race elders, couldn't enter, yet a human had entered. The strange feeling in their hearts was indescribable.

Lin Moyu condensed dao patterns under the dragon blood waterfall.

In just over a day, the 62nd dao pattern was successfully condensed.

Then two days later, the 63rd dao pattern was successfully condensed.

One dao pattern every two days, very stable and fast.

On the 15th day, more giant beasts came from afar.

This time the No. 1 Legion Commander took the initiative, dividing the twenty million undead legions to intercept the incoming giant beasts halfway.

It controlled the rate of losses for the undead legions. The fallen skeletons and dragon riders revived again and again, re-entering the battlefield, forming a perfect cycle.

Long Sheng narrowed his eyes, watching the undead legions battle. He said softly, "Little Wei, you've been watching for so many days. Have you noticed anything?"

Long Wei said, "Although these skeletons have low combat power, they rely on their numerical advantage to firmly block these more powerful giant beasts. The most important link is that fellow's command. His command ability is extremely powerful."

Long Sheng said, "This kind of command ability is like an art. If our dragon race had had such a commander back then, perhaps the ancestor wouldn't have fallen."

In dragon race battles, there was never any strategy. They would all rush in together, relying on brute force.

If the opponent's combat power was inferior to the dragon race, that might work.

But if the opponent's combat power was strong enough and they formed legions, then the dragon race would be at a disadvantage.

In Long Sheng's view, the dragon race lacked such a commander.

A commander didn't need very strong combat power themselves, but needed the ability to observe the overall situation.

Now the battlefield with the giant beasts had been divided into hundreds of sections, yet the No. 1 Legion Commander still firmly controlled the entire situation.

The battle situation in its hands was like a work of art.

Long Sheng said, "Little Wei, your wisdom is high. What you lack is the ability to see the big picture. I hope you can have this ability in the future. Then perhaps our dragon race can become stronger."

Long Wei said, "But we have you, don't we? Once your injury heals, you can live on and on. You can command, can't you?"

Long Sheng shook his head, "What's false is always false. It's not as simple as you think."

At this point, Long Sheng didn't want to continue. He seemed to have many words in his heart that he couldn't say.

On the 25th day of entering the dragon blood waterfall, Lin Moyu finally completed condensing the 72nd dao pattern.

The moment the dao pattern was successfully condensed, Lin Moyu's aura rose frantically. Even the dragon blood waterfall was affected, its falling speed slowing by half a beat.

Lin Moyu's aura kept climbing, spreading throughout the dragon race ancestral grounds.

The dragon race elders were awakened, all looking towards Lin Moyu.

"Elder Lin has broken through."

"Broken through from third level to fourth level Dao Venerable."

"The dragon blood waterfall is indeed powerful, allowing Elder Lin to break through in such a short time."

"Elder Lin's innate talent is also strong. It's not all due to the dragon blood waterfall."

The elders discussed animatedly. They were so attracted by Lin Moyu's breakthrough that they forgot what they were supposed to be doing.

Long Wei said, "Elder Lin has indeed broken through. Elder Sheng, it seems your guess was wrong."

Long Sheng chuckled, "If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. We didn't bet this time anyway."

Long Wei cried out, "Oh no, I forgot to bet with you!"

Long Sheng laughed heartily, "Who told you to forget? That's your own fault."

Long Wei said helplessly, "Well, if I forgot then I forgot. Anyway, neither of us was sure at the beginning."

Suddenly her eyes lit up as she looked at the sky, "These skeletons have also become stronger."

With Lin Moyu's breakthrough, the undead legions' combat power increased across the board.

The skeleton generals' combat power rose from fourth level to fifth level Dao Venerable.

The dragon riders also reached fifth level Dao Venerable, but were slightly stronger than the skeleton generals. One was at early fifth level, while the other had reached mid-level.

The legion commander was even stronger, reaching peak fifth level Dao Venerable.

However, its individual strength didn't attract attention, far less noticeable than the collective strength of the undead legions.
