Chapter 1661: Almost Capsized in the Gutter
The Yellow Sand Giant Beast escaped, abandoning its body, with only a single eye fleeing.
The yellow sand covered the sky, and it abandoned its massive form. Even the undead legion couldn't stop it. Lin
However, the soul lock still existed, and the mark had not disappeared.
Lin Moyu still firmly locked onto its soul and shot the third arrow.
The Soul Arrow traversed the void, leaving only a trace of purple light before disappearing.
A scream echoed throughout the entire star system, audible even within the formation.
Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief, finally resolving the issue.
Compared to stalling for time, being able to drive it away was naturally the best outcome.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu's hair stood on end, and a severe warning came from his soul.
The giant tree of talent swayed incessantly, and the nine-colored dragon soul crystal roared.
"Danger!"
"Deadly danger!"
The soul heard the intense heartbeat of the Yellow Sand Giant Beast, and then bright yellow lightning appeared before his eyes.
Five bolts of lightning, four had collapsed, but the last one still remained.
The eye of the Yellow Sand Giant Beast had escaped, but the lightning had not disappeared and still hovered in mid-air.
At this moment, accompanied by the heartbeat of the Yellow Sand Giant Beast, the lightning suddenly activated, piercing through one skeleton after another, shooting straight towards Lin Moyu.
"Careless!"
Without thinking, Lin Moyu rapidly retreated, summoning a large number of skeletons to serve as meat shields to block the lightning.
The skeletons were pierced by the lightning and collapsed on the spot.
However, the lightning seemed unaffected, rapidly approaching Lin Moyu.
The power of the lightning was too strong for the skeletons to block.
The meat shield tactic he was skilled in was completely ineffective.
This bolt of lightning carried the power of rules, with an attack power at least at the eighth stage of the God Sovereign, possibly even higher.
The skeletons couldn't block it, and neither could he.
If hit, he would undoubtedly die.
His talent for revival had already been exhausted, and even if he had more chances, they would likely be ineffective.
Based on the previous performance of the bright yellow lightning, it could attack repeatedly.
The skeletons were killed again and again, and even if they revived, they would be killed again.
In this life-and-death moment, Lin Moyu's thoughts raced, considering all possible self-rescue methods.
In the next second, the Scourge Staff appeared in his hand.
Lin Moyu knew very well that only the Scourge Staff might be able to block the bright yellow lightning.
He couldn't fully unleash the true power of the Scourge Staff, but using it as a stick was no problem.
Seeing the lightning approaching, Lin Moyu unhesitatingly swung the Scourge Staff to collide with the lightning.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the lightning burst apart.
Yellow filled his vision, and he could see nothing else.
Lin Moyu was blasted away by an unimaginably immense force.
He was directly blown out of the planet, flying tens of thousands of kilometers into the star system.
Seeing the yellow sand flowing like a river of stars around him, Lin Moyu felt a surge of joy.
He wasn't dead; he had really blocked the lightning.
Looking at the Scourge Staff, there wasn't even a mark on it.
The sturdiness of the Scourge Staff far exceeded expectations.
This also indicated that the level of the Scourge Staff was absurdly high.
Putting away the Scourge Staff, Lin Moyu flew back.
The sandstorm on the planet continued, and the explosion of the lightning had sent the yellow sand of the planet into the starry sky.
Even the yellow sand beneath the Time Formation was swept away, revealing the true ground.
The entire planet now appeared grayish-white.
With the yellow sand gone, Lin Moyu finally saw the formation clearly.
The Time Formation was actually a circular formation, with the Time House and the control hall built on a disc.
The disc was the formation plate, responsible for bearing the formation.
Below the formation, a massive yellow heart was beating.
Each beat didn't release blood but yellow sand.
And it wasn't ordinary yellow sand; it was yellow sand containing extremely strong energy.
The formation refined the yellow sand released by the heart, producing yellow crystals, and then transferred the useless yellow sand away.
For countless years, the heart of a Beyond Realm star beast had been used as a material collector.
It beat continuously, and the formation continuously refined and collected.
It was indeed a kind of sorrow.
Lin Moyu returned, and the heartbeat of the Yellow Sand Giant Beast quickened noticeably.
Anger emanated from it, but it was helpless against Lin Moyu.
The formation firmly suppressed it, and with this failed escape, it would have no more chances.
The human Beyond Realm experts must have received the news and might be on their way.
By then, the formation would be reinforced, and it would be suppressed here for millions of years.
Even the single eye that escaped would be found and destroyed.
The crisis was over, but the undead legion still remained. He wouldn't recall the undead legion until the human reinforcements arrived.
Relaxing was fine, but he couldn't let his guard down.
Unexpected events often occur when one relaxes.
Lin Moyu began to review the previous battle.
He and the eye of the Yellow Sand Giant Beast had fought for less than a minute.
Especially when he shot three arrows in succession, the entire process took less than five seconds.
The battle was extremely intense, with every second being a life-and-death struggle.
Lin Moyu realized that when facing a true powerhouse, various tactics were actually useless.
In the end, it all came down to strength.
If the Yellow Sand Giant Beast had more than just an eye and its realm hadn't fallen, he would have been dead.
He recalled what Bai Yiyuan had once said: "A bigger fist is the hard truth; everything else is fake."
In fact, this was true. Whether in the great world or the small world, reality was equally cruel.
Besides realizing that his fist wasn't big enough, Lin Moyu also felt the role of the power of faith.
Without the power of faith, the first arrow wouldn't have caused enough damage to the remnant soul of the Yellow Sand Giant Beast.
Then the next two arrows might not have scared it away.
However, the power of faith also had its limitations. It was limited in quantity and had diminishing returns.
The greater the desired amplification, the exponentially more power of faith was required.
Ten thousand units of the power of faith could double the amplification.
To triple the amplification, thirty thousand units were needed.
To quadruple the amplification, sixty thousand units were needed.
If one wanted to amplify four or five times, the required power of faith would increase significantly.
As far as Lin Moyu knew, after reaching a tenfold amplification, the required power of faith would increase exponentially.
Moreover, the stronger the attack itself, the more power of faith was needed.
Lin Moyu knew very well that the Soul Arrow he had condensed with all his might had an attack power only at the level of the fourth to fifth stage of the God Sovereign.
If it were an attack from the Beyond Realm, even sixty thousand units of the power of faith might not provide a single amplification.
Sixty thousand units of the power of faith, at the current collection rate, would take a full 600 days to gather.
The collection speed was extremely slow.
"The power of faith is really something you can't have too much of."
"No wonder those Beyond Realm experts want to establish Towers of Faith across the entire star domain."
"Their spells must require astronomical amounts of the power of faith."
After reviewing the entire battle, Lin Moyu felt he had done quite well, with few oversights.
The only mistake was the last lightning bolt, where he was too careless. He needed to correct this in the future.
Time passed bit by bit, and the heartbeat of the Yellow Sand Giant Beast gradually slowed, becoming calm.
Thirty minutes later, a vast aura descended, enveloping the entire star system.
