Chapter 1071: The Second Puppet, Instantly Killed
Lin Moyu put away the Starfire Jade Bottle and looked into the depths of space. "The laws here are very clear."
"And there’s a strange energy that seems to accelerate the comprehension of laws."
Over these two days, Lin Moyu felt his strength had increased slightly.
His soul power had naturally increased a bit, and his understanding of the immortal law seemed to have deepened.
It was a strange feeling. He hadn’t deliberately tried to comprehend the law, yet insights kept coming, gradually deepening his understanding.
It was as if those insights were forcibly stuffed in. He pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out why.
However, Lin Moyu also realized that if others experienced the same thing, it would explain why people came to the battlefield when they couldn’t break through.
Although dangerous, the battlefield could indeed increase the chances of breakthrough.
Lin Moyu knew the phenomenon, but not the reason.
Ultimately, it was because his strength and knowledge were still insufficient.
...
In space, the Black Lizard race member who was a revived being was fleeing miserably.
Behind him, a dark star almost invisible to the naked eye was chasing madly.
Through his connection with the revived being, Lin Moyu sensed its position and state.
"Oh? It’s being chased!"
The revived being was injured, and quite badly. More than half of its scales were shattered.
With its strength and ability to hide, if not able to strut around freely in Area 5-38, at least it shouldn’t have trouble protecting itself.
Lin Moyu had only ordered it to pretend to be weak and lure other races over, not to actually get injured.
Until he saw the ’dark star’ chasing it, Lin Moyu finally understood what was happening.
The pursuer wasn’t a real ’dark star’, but a Black Mysterious race member.
He had seen and killed many Black Mysterious race members in the Human Emperor Network’s virtual secret realm before.
But the virtual world was ultimately virtual, different from the real world.
The Black Mysterious race was like a fish in water on the battlefield. They were originally completely black, and when motionless, they curled up into a ball, looking very much like small asteroids in space.
Especially in this pitch-black battlefield space, they looked even more like dark stars.
The Black Mysterious race had extremely powerful defense. Lin Moyu guessed his revived being must have failed in a sneak attack and was almost killed in retaliation.
The Black Mysterious race member before him exuded the aura of True God Realm level 7. Its defense should have reached True God level 8.
In the True God Realm, a difference of one level could be huge.
The revived being could instantly burst out with True God level 7 attack power, but definitely couldn’t overcome this Black Mysterious race member.
Following Lin Moyu’s orders, the revived being changed direction and fled towards Lin Moyu.
The Black Mysterious race member also discovered Lin Moyu. Its entire body curled into a ball, shooting over like a meteor.
Lin Moyu even heard its vicious laughter.
"Not bad, you’ll be my second puppet."
Lin Moyu chuckled softly and lightly pointed a finger.
Fusion spell: Time Curse!
As the red light fell, the Black Mysterious race member immediately let out a miserable scream.
The entire ’small asteroid’ shook violently, its charging momentum immediately weakening.
The opponent had at least True God level 7 combat power. Lin Moyu knew that relying on the Time Curse spell alone couldn’t kill it.
But a soul attack was enough to slow its charge.
The result was as he expected. Immediately after, a large number of skeleton god generals appeared, swinging their bone swords to unleash vast sword energies.
The sword energies intertwined in space like a huge net, enveloping the Black Mysterious race member.
As the sword energies slashed past, the Black Mysterious race member’s body was torn to pieces. It couldn’t even scream before being cut to shreds.
A ball of fire flew out, landing on the shattered corpse of the Black Mysterious race member.
Star-level spell: Revival of the Dead.
The just-shattered corpse reassembled in the undying flames, restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.
But now, the Black Mysterious race member was no longer its former self.
It had become a revived being, obeying Lin Moyu’s every command.
Now Lin Moyu had two puppets. He gave them the same orders again and sent them away.
Lin Moyu himself continued deeper into Area 38 to search for more star fires.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Moyu had been in Area 38 for over ten days.
He had flown nearly 5 billion kilometers. Although 5 billion kilometers wasn’t much in terms of light-years,
One light-year is about 9.46 trillion kilometers. A mere 5 billion kilometers wasn’t even a fraction of that.
But 5 billion kilometers was not short for a True God.
Here they couldn’t use flying tools, could only fly themselves, and had to guard against dark stars, unable to accelerate without limit.
Lin Moyu believed his speed was already quite fast.
With skeletons clearing the way ahead, he basically didn’t need to worry about dark stars, so his speed was only slightly slower than usual.
"According to the information, Area 5-38 is roughly spherical."
"The diameter is about one light-year. I’m still on the outskirts, and the outskirts of the outskirts at that."
Lin Moyu sighed inwardly at the vastness of the battlefield, which could only be appreciated after personally entering.
The 5th Battle Zone was just one of ten major battle zones in the battlefield.
And it was on the outskirts, not very large.
The 5th Battle Zone was further divided into 1000 areas, each area varying in size, with large empty spaces between each area.
These empty spaces occupied over 90% of the entire battle zone.
Only less than 10% of the space was the actual battle zone.
This less than 10% of battle zone space was further divided into a thousand independent areas.
One can imagine how large the 5th Battle Zone was, and how vast the entire Vermilion Bird Battlefield must be.
After flying for another ten days, as he became more familiar with the battlefield, Lin Moyu’s speed gradually increased.
In these ten days, space was completely silent, with nothing but dark stars.
There was no direction here, no up, down, left or right, no knowing where he was flying to.
But cultivators all had their own ways of finding direction.
By sensing the flow of laws through the soul, one could know which way they were flying.
Different directions not only had different concentrations and flows of laws, but also slightly different temperatures.
At the core of this area, there would be relatively more star fires, releasing more heat.
Even from such a distance, it would have some effect on the temperature.
Even a 0.01 degree difference, Lin Moyu could clearly sense.
Lin Moyu knew he was going in the right direction and continued flying forward.
The Black Lizard and Black Mysterious race members he had sent out couldn’t keep up for now.
The distance between them was too great, but Lin Moyu didn’t care.
After all, they were just casual pieces he had placed in his spare time. Whether they produced results or not didn’t matter.
After flying another several billion kilometers, the temperature rose again, and the frequency of dark stars increased slightly.
The laws flowed like ocean currents, becoming increasingly clear as they passed through the darkness.
Following the direction of the laws, another point of starlight appeared in his vision.
The starlight danced in the pitch-black space, so enchanting.
He had finally found the second star fire, over twenty days since seeing the last one.
After spending over twenty days in dark solitude, discovering light now brought a hint of joy to Lin Moyu’s eyes.
As he got closer to the star fire, its light grew brighter.
Then, Lin Moyu saw stars twinkling behind this star fire.
Each point of starlight was a star fire.
It was as if he had crossed a boundary, turned a corner, and seen a whole new world.
