Chapter 2434: The Segmented Space
The Lizard Heavenly Venerate tilted his head, looking at Lin Moyu as if he were an idiot.
Lin Moyu immediately realized he had asked the wrong question.
The question he asked was probably common knowledge on the Origin Continent, something everyone knew.
Otherwise, the Lizard Heavenly Venerate wouldn't have shown such an expression.
Anyone who could become a Heavenly Venerate wouldn't be a fool, and the Lizard Heavenly Venerate was no exception.
Suddenly, the Lizard Heavenly Venerate seemed to realize something and shouted loudly, "I get it now! You have no background at all, and you're not some genius. You're just..."
Lin Moyu suddenly interrupted him. The Bone Hell appeared and enveloped the Lizard Heavenly Venerate.
Countless hellish spirits flew out, surrounding the Lizard Heavenly Venerate.
The Eye of the Undead in the sky gazed down, and waves of terrifying soul impacts bombarded the Lizard Heavenly Venerate.
The Lizard Heavenly Venerate let out a miserable scream as his soul was impacted. Even as a Heavenly Venerate, he felt intense pain.
A brilliant light erupted from his body, and a piece of armor automatically appeared, its immense power scattering all the hellish spirits.
Naturally, a Heavenly Venerate couldn't be trapped by the Bone Hell. Lin Moyu never intended to trap him; he just wanted to buy a little time, even if it was just one or two seconds.
The Undying Flame burned fiercely, and a hundred Skeleton Kings flew out in response, charging into the Bone Hell to replace the hellish spirits, instantly completing the encirclement of the Lizard Heavenly Venerate.
By the time the Lizard Heavenly Venerate recovered from the soul impact, all he could see were Skeleton Kings.
The Skeleton Kings didn't give him any chance to react, simultaneously raising their bone swords.
The rule world appeared, filled with white bones and boiling laws.
In the rule world, the white bones transformed into countless sharp swords, which, along with the bone swords of the Skeleton Kings, struck the Lizard Heavenly Venerate.
Spell: White Bone God Slash!
The white bone rules attacked the soul, while the Skeleton Kings' swords destroyed the body.
A hundred Skeleton Kings struck simultaneously, and the Lizard Heavenly Venerate didn't even have time to groan before exploding on the spot.
Lin Moyu frowned, "Not dead?"
He felt the Lizard Heavenly Venerate's aura disappear for a moment, then reappear.
A beam of light suddenly shot out, piercing through the encirclement of the Skeleton Kings and flying hundreds of miles away, revealing the Lizard Heavenly Venerate's figure.
At the place where the Lizard Heavenly Venerate had originally died, there was something resembling a substitute puppet, already shattered.
This treasure had saved the Lizard Heavenly Venerate's life once.
The escaped Lizard Heavenly Venerate looked panicked and terrified. He didn't dare look back and flew away into the distance.
If it weren't for the restrictions of this space, the Lizard Heavenly Venerate might have escaped even further.
Lin Moyu sneered, "You can't escape!"
With a snap of his fingers, another hundred Skeleton Kings appeared.
The Skeleton Kings simultaneously swung their bone swords, slashing out again!
The Lizard Heavenly Venerate had been marked by the Bone Hell. It didn't matter if he escaped hundreds or thousands of miles; it was useless.
The Lizard Heavenly Venerate felt death approaching and immediately took out the World Sea decree, trying to activate it, but he was a step too late.
The white sword light shone again on the Lizard Heavenly Venerate, and his expression turned pale as his consciousness plunged into endless darkness.
His body and soul exploded simultaneously, turning into ashes.
The Skeleton Kings flew over and brought back some remaining fragments of flesh.
The World Sea decree disappeared when he died, its whereabouts unknown.
"Fortunately, there's still some flesh left. Better than nothing," Lin Moyu chuckled inwardly and waved his hand, collecting the Skeleton Kings.
Then Ke Jun appeared beside him, and Lin Moyu realized he still didn't understand the Origin Continent well enough.
Some questions could be asked of Ke Jun, who would surely know.
"Tell me, why do those demons take human form?"
As a Revived One, Ke Jun answered without hesitation, "Because the human race has the Dao body. Demons who want to walk the Great Dao must eventually take human form. The higher their realm, the more perfect their human form becomes. Demons above the Dao Venerate level are almost indistinguishable from ordinary humans."
Lin Moyu continued to ask, "What about the dragon race and the insect race?"
Ke Jun replied, "The dragon race also has the Dao body, so they don't need to take human form. However, some dragons do take human form to travel in human territories."
"As for the insect race, I don't know."
This question was indeed common knowledge, known to almost all cultivators on the Origin Continent.
No wonder the Lizard Heavenly Venerate had realized something was off. Lin Moyu thought he should have Ke Jun explain all the common knowledge to him.
Following Lin Moyu's instructions, Ke Jun quickly explained some common knowledge.
Unfortunately, as a Revived One, Ke Jun's memory was incomplete, and some memories were lost.
While Ke Jun was explaining, Lin Moyu sent out a batch of Skeleton Generals to begin exploring this special space.
He himself remained in place, not in a hurry. After all, the King of the World Sea hadn't specified a time limit.
Moreover, the King had only mentioned that the special fish bones were in the depths of this space, without specifying a location.
Without knowing whether this space was round or flat, it was impossible to determine what "depths" meant.
If this space was round, the waterfall he had seen earlier might lead directly to the depths, and he would need to find a way to enter the pit.
If it was flat, he would need to find the correct direction.
There was also the possibility that this world was irregular, which would be troublesome.
The Skeleton Generals flew in all directions, and Lin Moyu believed he would soon get an answer.
This world was vast. Even after flying for a while, the Skeleton Generals found nothing.
There were many mountains and rivers, lush green trees in the mountains, and moss and other plants in the water, making the world seem full of life.
After flying far away, the Skeleton Generals activated their undead vision, but there wasn't a single soul fire in sight.
With over ten thousand people entering, the fact that the Skeleton Generals hadn't encountered anyone yet indicated the vastness of this world.
The people who entered were scattered everywhere. The Lizard Heavenly Venerate finding Lin Moyu so quickly was just good luck.
Suddenly, a Skeleton General crashed into an invisible wall and was forcefully bounced back.
Lin Moyu immediately connected his vision and saw nothing through the undead vision of the Skeleton General.
Returning to the place where it had been bounced back, the Skeleton General encountered an invisible barrier.
Soon, more Skeleton Generals encountered invisible barriers and were bounced back.
As more Skeleton Generals encountered barriers, Lin Moyu finally understood the size and shape of the area he was in.
It was as if he had entered a dome, and the shape of the dome was irregular, with edges and corners.
The approximate diameter was several million miles. Compared to the vastness of the Great World, which spanned billions of miles and hundreds of thousands of light-years, this was relatively small.
However, given the suppressed speed and difficulty in using space laws here, a range of several million miles wasn't small.
Lin Moyu fell into deep thought, "This special space can't be just this small."
"If this special space is divided into countless areas of varying sizes and shapes, it would make sense."
"I've seen similar environments before. One of the inheritances left by the Saint Rune Heavenly Venerate was in a similar situation."
"From what I can see now, I must go through that big pit to enter other areas."
Lin Moyu sent out more Skeleton Generals to continue the search, while he himself flew towards the waterfall.
In the space he was currently in, apart from the waterfall leaking from the sky, there was nothing unusual.
If his guess was correct, the people who entered were divided into different areas.
Some might be in the same area, like himself and the Lizard Heavenly Venerate.
But most were likely separated.
As he got closer to the waterfall, Lin Moyu felt the strong aura of the World Sea.
The aura of the World Sea emanated from the waterfall but was confined to a certain range by a mysterious force.
After a careful search, Lin Moyu was 90% sure that the waterfall was the key to leaving this space.
