**Chapter 2864: He's Courting Death Again**
The Storm Skeleton Generals also emitted the aura of peak Heavenly Sovereigns, just one step away from Dao Sovereigns.
When Lin Moyu advanced to peak Heavenly Sovereign, the Skeleton Generals and Dragon Rider Legion, including the legion commanders, did not advance to Dao Sovereign.
Their combat power increased, but they remained within the Heavenly Sovereign realm, just one step short of Dao Sovereign.
Only the Skeleton Kings reached the Dao Sovereign realm when Lin Moyu advanced to high-level Heavenly Sovereign, and even produced a Dao pattern.
Lin Moyu naturally understood why this was the case. There was a huge gap between the Heavenly Sovereign and Dao Sovereign realms.
The reason the Skeleton Kings could cross over was that they concentrated the power of all the undead. It could be said that it was the power of hundreds of billions of undead that allowed the Skeleton Kings to cross that chasm.
The other undead could only rely on their own power, unable to cross this chasm.
After reaching peak Heavenly Sovereign, the undead's power continued to increase, just one step short of Dao Sovereign.
Sometimes, Lin Moyu had a strange feeling, wondering what exactly counted as peak Heavenly Sovereign.
If he was a peak Heavenly Sovereign, then what were the Skeleton Generals and legion commanders?
Could the gap within peak Heavenly Sovereign be so large?
Did he really reach true peak Heavenly Sovereign?
Lin Moyu couldn't figure out this question before, but now he had the answer.
The answer came from the Dao patterns. When he condensed the third Dao pattern, Lin Moyu felt he could see the path ahead clearly.
When the sixth Dao pattern was condensed, the answer was fully revealed.
He had indeed reached the traditional peak Heavenly Sovereign, but not the true peak Heavenly Sovereign.
His realm had reached it, but not the limit.
The Dao patterns gathered the power of the Great Dao, radiating onto his physical body, causing it to change.
After entering the Heavenly Sovereign realm, the rate of physical body enhancement had fallen far behind the speed of realm advancement.
The true limit of Heavenly Sovereign was not just spiritual power, but also physical body.
He had once walked the path of physical body sainthood, but had forgotten it at some point.
This time, the appearance of Dao patterns made him pick it up again.
Lin Moyu realized that in the era of the God-Slaying Sect, every Dao Sovereign had a very powerful physical body.
The existence of Dao patterns would continuously strengthen the physical body.
But in the current era, people don't know how to use Dao patterns, so Dao Sovereigns' physical bodies only naturally strengthen as their realms increase.
Therefore, in this era, the vast majority of cultivators cannot reach the true limit of each realm.
This means that cultivators in this era don't have a solid foundation.
Building a tall structure on a weak foundation means the higher you go, the harder it becomes.
Lin Moyu was now laying a solid foundation for himself, using this as a base to advance to higher levels.
The Skeleton Generals cleared the way for Lin Moyu as he followed the stream towards the center of the thunderstorm.
The stream flowed down from the mountain, its direction coinciding with the storm center.
The Eye of the Undead didn't see any soul flames, proving there were no living beings ahead.
Still alert, Lin Moyu didn't know what the so-called Thunder Monsters looked like, and they might not necessarily be living beings.
Crack!
The secret vault world suddenly lit up, countless electric snakes dancing in the sky.
Then, a large amount of lightning fell, exploding less than a hundred meters from Lin Moyu.
The ground cracked, with large fissures blasted open.
The lightning was dense, and within it, monsters of various shapes appeared in view.
Thunder Monsters!
The Eye of the Undead showed no soul flames in the Thunder Monsters; these things weren't living beings, but monsters composed of Great Dao power.
Hundreds of Thunder Monsters appeared before him. These monsters weren't very high level, only at the high-level Heavenly Sovereign standard.
Lin Moyu knew that they were still quite far from the storm center; the closer to the center, the more powerful the Thunder Monsters would become.
The Skeleton Generals charged towards the Thunder Monsters, their long swords sweeping out, unleashing pure white sword energy.
The sword energy cut through the lightning, engulfing the Thunder Monsters.
The Thunder Monsters exploded with a bang and disappeared.
Lin Moyu's brow tightened slightly as his spiritual sense warned him. He quickly retreated while Skeleton Generals appeared in front of him.
A Thunder Monster suddenly appeared in front of Lin Moyu, colliding head-on with the newly appeared Skeleton General.
Boom!
Lightning exploded, and the Skeleton General was blasted away, countless lightning bolts invading its body.
The blasted Skeleton General was completely paralyzed, falling to the ground unable to move.
The sound of lightning explosions continued endlessly, with many Skeleton Generals being blasted away, falling into a paralyzed state, unable to move.
The Thunder Monsters' attacks were suicidal; each monster could only attack once.
Lin Moyu could feel these Skeleton Generals being bound by the power of the Great Dao. Paralyzing opponents was one of the main abilities of the Thunder Great Dao.
If this secret vault was artificially created, then its creator must be proficient in the Thunder Great Dao, and there might be related legacies here.
If it formed naturally, there must be a treasure belonging to the Thunder Great Dao here.
Either way, it made this secret vault extremely valuable.
Lin Moyu hoped this would be a legacy site left by a Star Lord, which would have a Star Lord's legacy item, allowing him to complete the final link of his Star Great Dao.
However, he also knew that this possibility was extremely small.
Within the secret vault, he couldn't sense any power belonging to a Star Lord.
...Requesting flowers...
One wave of Thunder Monsters incapacitated hundreds of Skeleton Generals, but Lin Moyu didn't mind. These Skeleton Generals were only temporarily immobilized and would recover soon.
If nothing else, there were plenty of Skeleton Generals.
He summoned another large group of Skeleton Generals to clear the path ahead.
Walking over the ground blasted by lightning, the surface had completely cracked open, revealing many pits.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu stopped. In one of the pits, he saw a stone.
The stone was enveloped in lightning. With a thought, a Skeleton General went to pick up the stone.
The lightning on the stone didn't cause any harm to the Skeleton General.
Lin Moyu took the stone, and the lightning flowed over his palm like water, posing no threat.
"Thunder Stone."
Lin Moyu knew this was a Thunder Stone. Once attacked by Thunder Monsters and paralyzed, the Thunder Stone could take you out of the secret vault, serving as a life-saving artifact.
Lin Moyu examined the Thunder Stone, "A life-saving artifact, can it really only be used to save lives?"
Looking at the Thunder Stone in his palm, he had a vague feeling that its function wasn't limited to this.
His soul power moved to envelop the Thunder Stone, which turned into a bolt of lightning and drilled into his palm.
His palm felt a tingling sensation, but nothing else unusual.
The Thunder Stone needed to be refined before it could exert its effect; otherwise, it was no different from an ordinary stone.
Moreover, Thunder Stones weren't readily available; it depended on luck, and Lin Moyu's luck had always been good.
His luck had already exceeded the range that the Explosive Luck Technique could check, always above 100, which meant everything he did would become smoother.
Continuing towards the storm center, after walking less than a kilometer, the sky again flashed with lightning and thunder, countless lightning bolts falling.
Another batch of Thunder Monsters appeared, nearly double the number of the previous wave, but their power hadn't increased, still at the high-level Heavenly Sovereign level.
This scene would be troublesome for Heavenly Sovereigns to deal with, but for Dao Sovereigns, it was effortless.
There were many ways to deal with Thunder Monsters, the simplest being to use treasures to block them.
Dao Sovereigns could easily block Thunder Monsters using their own Great Dao.
Lin Moyu had an idea, activating his Undying Golden Body to directly face the Thunder Monsters!
The Thunder Monsters dispersed into lightning, some charging towards the Skeleton Generals, some towards Lin Moyu.
Lightning exploded, repeatedly pushing Lin Moyu back, but the power of the lightning was firmly blocked by the Undying Golden Body, not affecting his physical body.
In the next moment, Lin Moyu withdrew the Undying Golden Body, not letting the undead army share the damage for him. He was courting death again!
