Chapter 2081: Enemies Always Cross Paths
The information about the disappearance of the Qinghe Race became increasingly exaggerated as it spread among the various races.
The news reached beyond the domain, with all sorts of speculations, but none could be confirmed as the definitive answer.
The only person who knew the truth was Lin Moyu. Even the human Saint Sovereigns could only guess.
The Hao Saint Sovereign was the first to guess because Lin Moyu had told him before setting out that he was going to the outer region and had given him a rough location.
From the route, it was clear that Lin Moyu would pass through the Qinghe Race's territory.
So the Hao Saint Sovereign was eighty percent sure that Lin Moyu was responsible for this.
However, he couldn't understand why the stars had disappeared.
He instinctively felt that Lin Moyu couldn't have done this alone.
But thinking about Lin Moyu's past deeds, he felt it wasn't impossible.
...
Lin Moyu sat in the warship, officially entering the outer region. The boundary between the inner and outer regions was a void about a hundred light-years wide.
The void was like a bubble, firmly enveloping the inner space, known as the boundary zone.
The laws in the inner region were stronger, while those in the outer region were much weaker.
The further one went from the inner region, the weaker the laws became, affecting the speed of cultivation to some extent.
Therefore, the outer region was not suitable for cultivation, only for training and exploration.
The warship surfaced into the outer space layer. In the boundary zone, the laws would change, making it impossible for the warship to navigate in deep space.
Lin Moyu felt the changes in the laws; the Undying Law, Time Law, and Space Law were all slightly affected.
The most affected was the Starlight Law. He had been using the Starlight Refining Method, which originally took ten days to condense a star.
Once he left the inner region, the efficiency of the Starlight Refining Method greatly decreased, taking at least ten more days to condense a star.
As he moved further away, the efficiency of the Starlight Refining Method would continue to decrease until it became ineffective.
Lin Moyu observed this special area. In his perception, the entire greater world had the inner region as its center, where the power of the Greater World Rune was most concentrated.
The outer region was a space that the greater world continuously expanded into, swallowing the origins of many other worlds to grow itself.
For countless years, the greater world had been expanding, growing larger and larger.
It was like a balloon being continuously inflated, unable to stop.
Until the balloon reached its limit and finally exploded.
The greater world was now close to its limit. If it couldn't stop, it would eventually explode.
Lin Moyu knew that stopping was impossible. The only solution was to find a way to stabilize the balloon to prevent it from exploding.
The warship flew through the boundary zone for a while. In a few days, it would cross the boundary and enter the true outer region.
Last time, he had entered the outer region due to a space disturbance and was then sent back to the inner region by Luo Shen, without entering the boundary zone.
"It is said that the boundary zone was once a battlefield, with many hidden dangers."
"Now it has become a paradise for star beasts, home to countless star beasts. Human God Sovereigns often disappear here, so I must be careful."
Lin Moyu summoned a Skeleton General and activated the Soul Eye to look into the void.
Soul flames lit up one by one. Although not dense, there were more than a hundred in his sight.
Each soul flame was extremely powerful, at least at the God Sovereign level.
One of them was particularly large, surpassing the God Sovereign level and reaching the Other Shore realm.
Lin Moyu was shocked. In this dark void, so many star beasts were hidden.
"No wonder people say the boundary zone is a paradise for star beasts."
"In just this area, there are over a thousand star beasts, most of them at the God Sovereign level, with many high-tier God Sovereigns, and even some at the Other Shore realm."
"In terms of numbers, the God Sovereign-level star beasts outnumber the human God Sovereigns."
Lin Moyu was slightly shocked, recalling the scene in the dark void.
If the experts from the Black Blood Realm invaded and controlled all these star beasts, it would be a terrifying disaster for the human race.
But on second thought, it didn't seem to matter.
As long as he was there, no matter how many star beasts there were, it wouldn't matter.
Using Corpse Explosion, these star beasts would become his weapons.
If anyone dared to use star beasts against the human race, the result would be very satisfying.
The warship silently flew through the starry sky, and Lin Moyu avoided these star beasts.
Although he wasn't afraid, there was no need to provoke them.
In just an hour of flight, Lin Moyu saw no fewer than ten thousand God Sovereign-level star beasts, and even some at the Other Shore realm.
This was just a small distance, not even one ten-thousandth of the entire boundary zone.
Calculating this way, the number of star beasts would be incredibly frightening.
Lin Moyu suddenly sensed a familiar aura, and his eyes became sharp!
A soul flame entered his sight, at the Other Shore realm, but clearly injured and somewhat unstable.
"Starry Sky Giant Tree!"
Lin Moyu sensed the aura of the Starry Sky Giant Tree. The last time he encountered a star beast was in the small world.
Lin Moyu knew he wasn't mistaken. The one he encountered today was the same as back then.
The mark left by the Starry Sky Giant Tree had long been removed, but it couldn't escape Lin Moyu's keen soul perception.
"Enemies always cross paths. Should I kill him?"
Lin Moyu knew the Starry Sky Giant Tree had once come to the human race and was later driven away by the Hao Saint Sovereign, fleeing in panic.
With the Space Law, even the Hao Saint Sovereign found it hard to kill him.
Now, after so long, his injuries were still not healed.
If he wanted to kill him, it was indeed a good opportunity.
But with so many star beasts around, if he attacked, would it cause a star beast riot?
On second thought, Lin Moyu's lips curled into a cruel smile, "Actually, a riot wouldn't be a bad thing. The more star beasts that come, the more advantageous it is for me."
...
Before Lin Moyu could decide, the soul flame of the star beast suddenly boiled.
"All humans deserve to die!"
Space trembled, and the roar of the Starry Sky Giant Tree echoed in his mind.
Lin Moyu's soul world was impacted, but fortunately, it was strong enough to withstand it.
If it were another God Sovereign, just this roar would have injured them.
From the Starry Sky Giant Tree's words, Lin Moyu immediately understood his meaning.
This guy had been injured by the Hao Saint Sovereign, hiding here to heal, and blamed all his hatred on the human race.
"It seems I can't let him live!" Lin Moyu made up his mind to kill the Starry Sky Giant Tree today and end this karma.
Boom!
Several thick vines tore through the starry sky, whipping towards him with a roar.
The Starry Sky Giant Tree, tens of thousands of kilometers away, launched an attack on Lin Moyu.
His attack carried the Space Law, instantly crossing the starry sky and smashing towards the warship.
If hit, the warship would likely be damaged again.
"Damn it..."
Without thinking, Lin Moyu put away the warship. The newly repaired warship couldn't be easily damaged.
Then Lin Moyu took a step and instantly disappeared into the starry sky.
The Starry Sky Giant Tree's attack missed, making it even more furious. In that instant, it saw Lin Moyu clearly.
"It's you, it's actually you!"
"Hahaha, you actually came out. You're dead. I will grind your bones to dust!"
The Starry Sky Giant Tree's voice was filled with joy. It also instantly disappeared into the starry sky, using the Space Law to quickly catch up with Lin Moyu, its vines whipping down madly.
