Chapter 1849: The Impervious Causal Line
In fact, Lin Moyu had another concern he hadn't mentioned: the Saint Lords were currently battling the Buddha Ancestors.
If the Buddha Ancestors were ultimately defeated, would they attempt to resurrect the Ice and Fire Heavenly Buddha?
He didn't believe that over the years, the Buddha Clan hadn't made any preparations here.
They might not even need to come in person; remote control could directly resurrect the Ice and Fire Heavenly Buddha.
Lin Moyu felt a sense of worry rising in his heart. If his fears came true, it would be a real problem.
Causal lines rarely appear. Besides causal-type treasures, a very strong causal relationship is needed for a causal line to manifest. Otherwise, even with the Soul Eye, it would be difficult to see a causal line.
The causal relationship of the Ice and Fire Heavenly Buddha was extremely strong.
"We must find a way to eliminate the causal line."
"But how exactly can we do that? If only Antares were here, he would surely know what to do."
When faced with an unsolvable problem, Lin Moyu's first thought was always of Antares.
That guy seemed to know everything, as if there was nothing he didn't understand.
The only difference was whether he was willing to share the information.
Lin Moyu slowly pondered all the methods he had at his disposal.
Physical strength had already proven useless. In terms of spells, Yu Qingrou's attacks were ineffective, and it was highly likely that his own would be as well.
"Whether it works or not, let's give it a try."
Even though he knew it probably wouldn't work, he decided to try anyway.
He mobilized his suppressed power, and with a point of his finger, a ball of flame appeared out of thin air.
The Undying Flame burned fiercely in the sky, and the Skeleton Throne emerged from the flames, with the Skeleton King slowly rising.
Since reaching the junior Divine Lord realm, this was the first time Lin Moyu had summoned the Skeleton King.
The Skeleton King exuded the aura of a Divine Lord, and not just an ordinary Divine Lord.
There was a trace of rule power flickering on him.
Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat, "Sure enough, it has reached the high-level Divine Lord realm."
The Legion Ruler had already reached the sixth rank of the Divine Lord realm, so it was only natural that the more powerful Skeleton King would possess the strength of a high-level Divine Lord.
Yu Qingrou's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at the ten-thousand-meter-tall Skeleton King, murmuring, "This must be your strongest power, right?"
Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "More or less."
Yu Qingrou snorted, "If you had summoned this big guy during the sparring, no one would have dared to compete with you."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "That wasn't the result the Saint Lords wanted."
Yu Qingrou understood, "I was just saying."
Lin Moyu smiled, "Thank you."
Yu Qingrou waved her hand, "No need to thank me. Compared to what you've done, this is nothing."
If Yu Qingrou hadn't conceded at that time and had just kept dodging, Lin Moyu would have had no way to deal with her.
The Skeleton King raised its bone sword. It couldn't lock onto the causal line, nor could it use the Divine Slash.
As its master, Lin Moyu clearly felt that the bone sword carried a trace of rule power.
But it was still useless; the bone sword passed through the causal line without affecting it at all.
A mere trace of rule power was not enough to impact the causal line.
"As expected, it didn't work."
Lin Moyu's face showed deep thought, his brows furrowing tighter.
Yu Qingrou saw this and knew it still hadn't worked.
A few seconds later, Lin Moyu pointed his finger again.
A flash of red light passed, and the power of a curse rose.
Fusion Spell: Time Curse!
Without the support of the Great World's laws, the power of the curse became extremely weak.
It was still useless; the causal line remained unaffected.
The causal line was formed by the law of causality, which emphasizes cause and effect. There must be a cause before there can be an effect.
The splitting of the Ice and Fire Heavenly Buddha's soul was the cause, but it wasn't dead. The two halves of the soul still maintained some degree of connection.
Therefore, the appearance of the causal line became the effect.
What Lin Moyu needed to do now was to directly sever this effect.
Tracing the effect back to the cause from a broken effect was incredibly difficult.
"What should I do?"
The Skeleton King was useless, so other summoning spells would also be ineffective.
Curse-type spells were equally useless.
Corpse Explosion?
Lin Moyu thought of his trump card, but without a target to lock onto, Corpse Explosion couldn't be used.
If he used Corpse Explosion on the soul, Lin Moyu didn't think it would be the right method.
The strength of the Ice and Fire Heavenly Buddha's soul was unknown, and Corpse Explosion might not be able to kill it. It could even disrupt the delicate balance that had been formed, leading to unpredictable results.
Just thinking about it gave Lin Moyu a chilling feeling.
A deep sense of dread rose from his heart, and Lin Moyu instinctively felt that he couldn't do that.
"There's one more way, and that's to use [Resurrection of the Dead] to revive Black Stone Supreme."
"As long as Black Stone Supreme is revived, even if only for a second or half a second, it would be enough to completely kill the Ice and Fire Heavenly Buddha."
"But what if it fails? After all, it's a Supreme. It's been dead for countless years, and it's uncertain whether it can be successfully revived."
"If it fails, the Ice and Fire Heavenly Buddha will lose its balance and might immediately resurrect, and then it's all over."
Lin Moyu considered all possibilities, from the best outcome to the worst.
He thought very carefully, not daring to make any mistakes.
Any mistake would lead to his demise.
At that point, even having eighteen thousand lives wouldn't be enough.
Lin Moyu was completely stuck, unable to figure out how to deal with the causal line.
"If only I had a causal-type treasure."
Lin Moyu even thought of the Causal Gourd of the Blood Killing Divine Lord, but it was just a thought, with no practical use.
Yu Qingrou saw Lin Moyu so troubled and couldn't help but feel frustrated.
She really couldn't help Lin Moyu. Compared to him, she couldn't even see the causal line.
She stomped her foot lightly on the ground, making a tapping sound.
"If only I were a Saint Lord, I could elevate the law of space to the rule of space and definitely cut the causal line."
Hearing this, Lin Moyu suddenly slapped his forehead.
"How could I be so foolish, why did I get stuck in a dead end?"
Yu Qingrou immediately asked, "Did you think of a solution?"
Lin Moyu said, "I thought of a way to try."
He took out the Golden Sword and swung it at the causal line.
The sword passed through the line, leaving the causal line unscathed.
The Golden Sword contained the rule power of the Heavenly Saint Lord. Although not much, it was much stronger than the trace of rule power in the Skeleton King.
The result was still the same; the causal line remained intact.
However, Lin Moyu's eyes lit up. He noticed that the causal line was stained with a bit of golden light.
The causal line trembled slightly, shaking off the golden light.
"It really works!"
The causal line had to remain intact, but being stained with golden light indicated that rule power could touch the causal line.
This was the result Lin Moyu wanted. His biggest headache was not being able to touch the causal line.
Now he was completely certain that as long as the rule power was strong enough, it could shake the causal line, even break it.
With this realization, he had a complete plan.
His eyes filled with confidence, shining brightly.
Yu Qingrou looked at him, feeling a bit dazed. Lin Moyu's current state was like that of an extremely confident being, exuding charm.
Yu Qingrou felt herself getting drawn in, a strange and comfortable feeling.
Lin Moyu pointed his finger again, and the causal line was covered with a layer of grayish color.
Fusion Spell: Bone Hell!
It wasn't just Bone Hell; it also contained a large amount of belief power and Multicolored Water.
Lin Moyu directly took out a hundred drops of Multicolored Water and integrated them into the spell.
At the same time, he infused all the belief power he had accumulated into Bone Hell.
With the dual enhancement, Bone Hell was instantly strengthened.
It broke through the Divine King realm, reaching the Divine Lord realm, and then continued to rise, giving birth to a trace of rule power.
The entire hell world became more real, as if it truly existed.
Bone Hell enveloped the causal line, and Lin Moyu could clearly sense the causal line passing through Bone Hell.
