Chapter 2014: This World, For Now, Does Not Belong to Me
Lin Moyu squinted his eyes slightly; he had seen this person before.
It was the black-clad swordsman from the Black Blood Great World who had once fought fiercely with the ancient symbol warriors, a terrifying figure comparable to a Celestial Lord.
Of course, it wasn't the person himself but a manifestation of his power.
The swordsman lunged at the treasure ship, swinging his sharp sword.
The treasure ship glowed, and a formation appeared, not only blocking his attack but also accelerating suddenly, knocking him away.
Clearly, the treasure ship and the opponent had been fighting for many years.
Neither side had consciousness; they were both driven by the residual will of their masters, engaging in instinctive combat.
Lin Moyu observed and found that the opponent's combat power was between the eighth and ninth ranks of the Divine Sovereign.
The treasure ship's formation defense was also at the peak of the Divine Sovereign, easily blocking the opponent.
However, the treasure ship only had defensive capabilities and no offensive power, so it couldn't do anything to the opponent.
One attacked, the other defended, and they had been in a stalemate for countless years.
But now that Lin Moyu was here, this stalemate was coming to an end.
"Perish!" Lin Moyu thought, and the Undying Flame burned fiercely in the air, the Skeleton Throne appeared, and the Skeleton King slowly rose.
The cloak made of Undying Flame fluttered behind him, and the power of the rules entwined around him.
After Lin Moyu advanced to the second rank of the Divine Sovereign, the Skeleton King became stronger but did not cross the boundary between the Divine Sovereign and the Beyond Realm.
The Skeleton King was still at the peak of the Divine Sovereign, but among the peak Divine Sovereigns, he was an absolute powerhouse.
At this moment, the Skeleton King was somewhat similar to Zhu Qiwu, who had previously held the battlefield.
He was much stronger than an ordinary ninth-rank Divine Sovereign but still not as strong as someone in the Beyond Realm.
The Divine Sovereign and the Beyond Realm represented a qualitative change, not easily crossed.
The Skeleton King locked onto the black-clad swordsman and swung his giant bone sword.
God-Slaying!
The opening move was the signature spell—God-Slaying Sword!
The black-clad swordsman exploded on the spot under the God-Slaying Sword, but he did not die.
Countless black gases scattered and reassembled not far away, and the black-clad swordsman reappeared.
His aura remained unchanged, and the Skeleton King's attack was ineffective against him.
Lin Moyu's heart moved, and with the blessing of the rules, a large amount of Undying Rule power appeared on the Skeleton King's sword.
The dense Undying Rule power wrapped around the entire bone sword, turning the originally white bone sword gray.
The Skeleton King swung the bone sword, slashing at the black-clad swordsman.
The ten-thousand-meter-tall Skeleton King swung his sword with incredible momentum.
It was as if mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking, and the entire secret realm trembled.
The black-clad swordsman couldn't resist and exploded on the spot. The black gas reassembled not far away, but this time Lin Moyu felt that it had weakened a bit.
The Undying Rule power corroded part of the Black Blood Great World's power, causing it real harm.
The Skeleton King swung his sword repeatedly, and the black-clad swordsman was continuously shattered into pieces, each time weaker than the last.
Lin Moyu's heart moved, and a large number of skeleton divine generals flew out, attacking the black beasts.
With the same rule blessing, the swords were also covered with Undying Rule power.
In just a few minutes, all the black beasts in the secret realm were dead, and the black-clad swordsman was completely shattered, unable to reassemble.
Without the power of the Black Blood Great World, the entire secret realm became much cleaner.
Countless warriors formed by runes reverted to runes, flew into the sky, and merged into the void.
Lin Moyu once again felt a sense of tranquility. The runes that evolved the treasure ship secret realm seemed to have always been meant to be this peaceful.
They were forced to fight and defend themselves.
The treasure ship carried Lin Moyu deeper into the secret realm. Along the way, the weather was pleasant, and the secret realm was well-evolved, even forming stars.
Lin Moyu felt that if given more time, this place might form a small world.
A vast ocean appeared in his sight, with blue waves rippling and the sound of water roaring.
The treasure ship gradually descended and plunged into the water, heading towards the depths of the ocean.
The entire ocean was devoid of life, very quiet.
The light gradually disappeared, and only the treasure ship glowed, becoming the only light source.
After sailing underwater for a long time, a stone tablet appeared in sight.
"Ancient Symbol Stone Tablet!"
Seeing the stone tablet, Lin Moyu knew he had reached his destination.
The treasure ship stopped beside the ancient symbol stone tablet, and Lin Moyu examined it. The stone tablet was inscribed with an ancient symbol in a dragon-and-phoenix dance style.
With just one look, he was sure that this ancient symbol was the work of the Holy Symbol Celestial Lord, identical to those inside the treasure ship's internal space.
"Every secret realm ends with such a stone tablet."
"This stone tablet should be a material for carrying runes from ancient times, but in today's era, it seems that this material can no longer be found."
"The ancient symbol warriors of the Holy Symbol Celestial Lord used countless stone tablets to form the main structure."
Lin Moyu thought to himself while drawing a rune in his hand.
This rune came from the inheritance of the Holy Symbol Celestial Lord, a high-level rune created by the Holy Symbol Celestial Lord himself.
Its sole purpose was to imprint runes on magical treasures, more effective than using a soul imprint.
The Holy Symbol Celestial Lord called it the Imprint Rune.
Lin Moyu placed the Imprint Rune on the treasure ship, which had become an ownerless object.
When the ancient symbol warriors collapsed, the Holy Symbol Celestial Lord came here before leaving, entered the treasure ship, and left that box.
At the same time, he also removed his imprint from the treasure ship.
After millions of years, Lin Moyu used the Imprint Rune to find a new owner for the treasure ship.
After imprinting the rune, the treasure ship successfully recognized its new owner, and Lin Moyu waved his hand to put it away.
Then Lin Moyu began to truly focus on the ancient symbol stone tablet.
The ancient symbol on the stone tablet was extremely profound, and as Lin Moyu stared at it, his soul power was rapidly consumed.
The familiar feeling surged up again, and Lin Moyu knew that his realm was still insufficient to fully comprehend the ancient symbol.
However, compared to before, he was much better.
Previously, Lin Moyu didn't understand, but now he knew that the ancient symbol was also limited by the power of the rules.
As long as he reached a high-level Divine Sovereign and possessed a trace of the power of the rules, he could fully comprehend the ancient symbol.
At that time, the ancient symbols he drew would also incorporate the power of the rules, greatly increasing their power.
Since he couldn't comprehend it, Lin Moyu didn't force it. He placed his hand on the stone tablet, touching the ancient symbol.
A roar echoed in his mind, and the ancient symbol evolved, and a warrior appeared in his soul world.
This was the test required to obtain the ancient symbol, even the gentlest ancient symbol was no exception.
The soul raised its hand, and the Soul-Slaying Sword flew out like lightning, instantly piercing through the warrior's body.
The soul power exploded, and the warrior's body was shattered into pieces.
Lin Moyu's soul was too strong, and the test of the ancient symbol was nothing to him.
The Soul-Slaying Sword easily shredded the warrior evolved from the ancient symbol, and the scene before him changed, indicating that Lin Moyu had been recognized by the ancient symbol.
The aura of the Human Emperor Network came, and then a giant hand descended from the sea surface, reaching into the seabed and grabbing the ancient symbol stone tablet.
The giant hand from the Human Emperor Network grabbed the stone tablet and flew out of the secret realm, and an exit appeared in front of Lin Moyu.
"Another secret realm cleared."
"In the past, I took your ancient symbols, but this time I finally returned one to you."
Lin Moyu thought of the previous times when the Human Emperor Network returned empty-handed, but this time it finally obtained a new ancient symbol, and a highly complete one at that.
Lin Moyu once again felt the tranquility of this world, smiled lightly, and shook his head, "This world, for now, does not belong to me." With a hint of helplessness, he stepped into the exit and left the secret realm.
