 Chapter 2099: The Supreme's Rule World

"Fight a hundred battles and die ten thousand deaths without regret, the soul returns to the old land but cannot rest in peace!"

The voice was tragic and stirring, shaking people's hearts.

The runes on the warship flickered brightly, and its speed became slower and slower.

The tragic voice disturbed space, turning the entire space into a viscous state, making it difficult for the warship to fly.

Lin Moyu was startled awake, feeling an indescribable sadness.

Not just sadness, but also a heavy pain within the sadness. That kind of pain felt like someone was gripping his heart, preventing it from beating.

Though not as painful as soul pain, it was even more uncomfortable.

"What happened?!"

Lin Moyu controlled the warship, leaving deep space.

The warship rose, and Lin Moyu saw a tall mountain. He was in the mountain forest.

The mountain was over a million kilometers high, beyond even Lin Moyu's eyesight.

The appearance of such a high mountain in space was unimaginable.

Lin Moyu maneuvered the warship towards the mountaintop, but the warship could never reach the true peak.

Every time it was about to cross the peak, it was blocked by an invisible force.

This force seemed like an array, but was different from an array.

Lin Moyu felt somewhat familiar with this sensation. After thinking for a moment, he knew where he had entered.

He had entered a rule world.

The border he touched was the edge of the rule world, the world barrier, also called the world screen.

With his current abilities, it was difficult to break through.

"Is this a Saint Venerable's rule world, or a Supreme's rule world?!"

Lin Moyu thought to himself. If it was a Saint Venerable's rule world that would be fine, but if it was a Supreme's, that would be much more troublesome.

"Fight a hundred battles and die ten thousand deaths without regret, the soul returns to the old land but cannot rest in peace!"

"Fight a hundred battles and die ten thousand deaths without regret, the soul returns to the old land but cannot rest in peace!"

The tragic voice echoed in the rule world, making people's hearts ache more and more.

Lin Moyu endured the discomfort and depression, flying in another direction.

After passing the mountain before him, he saw an even more shocking scene.

Mountains, countless mountains, tens or hundreds of thousands of mountains, forming an ocean composed purely of mountain forests.

The warship flew through the mountain forests, which seemed endless, spanning billions of miles, comparable to a galaxy.

"This is a Supreme's rule world!"

Lin Moyu sighed, his expression not looking good.

A Saint Venerable's rule world couldn't be this large. Only a Supreme's rule world could reach this scale.

As for whether it could be a Heavenly Venerable's rule world, Lin Moyu thought it unlikely.

This rule world had already lost its vitality, clearly left behind after death in battle.

Although Heavenly Venerables also fought in ancient times, there were no records of any Heavenly Venerables dying in battle.

Lin Moyu could only pray this was a Supreme's rule world, not a Heavenly Venerable's, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

The warship flew for a long time without reaching the edge. Lin Moyu tried sending out skeleton divine generals to explore this rule world, just like exploring a secret realm.

The skeleton divine generals flew in all directions, quickly sending back information.

The skeleton divine generals discovered some unusual places.

Lin Moyu immediately rushed over, helplessly finding that his space law had failed again.

In the rule world, all rules were set by the master of the rule world.

Plus, his mastery of space law wasn't very strong, so it was normal for it to fail.

Lin Moyu arrived at the place where the anomaly was discovered. He saw a tombstone.

Words were carved on the tombstone.

"My name is Yuan Hao, a Divine Venerable of the human race."

"Accidentally fell into this realm, searched everywhere but found no way out."

"Cannot cultivate in this realm. Every ten years there is a rainbow absorption event, absorbing flesh, realm, and lifespan."

"This Venerable is unwilling to let thousands of years of cultivation become someone else's wedding dress, so I end my life here."

"Erecting this tombstone as a warning to future generations. If you can find a way out, please help bring my body back and bury it in human territory."

Lin Moyu sighed after reading the tombstone, surprised to find it was the tombstone of a human Divine Venerable.

Through the tombstone's record, he could roughly deduce what had happened.

Divine Venerable Yuan Hao had entered the outer realm to explore, but accidentally entered this place.

He didn't know he had entered a rule world, and no matter how he searched, he couldn't find a way out.

Moreover, every ten years there would be a rainbow absorption phenomenon here, absorbing flesh, power, and lifespan.

He believed someone was absorbing and devouring him. After many times, he might fall from Divine Venerable, unable to maintain even his realm, eventually falling to God King, True God, until death.

For someone who had cultivated to Divine Venerable, this was naturally unacceptable.

So with no other options, he chose suicide and left this tombstone.

The tombstone was both a warning and a last glimmer of hope.

Hoping that one day, someone could bring his remains back.

After all, he was a Divine Venerable. His remains wouldn't decay even after 100,000 years.

But when Lin Moyu looked, there were no remains here.

There were no creatures in the surrounding forests either. No beasts would have eaten his remains.

If there were beasts, he would certainly have mentioned it on the tombstone.

"No beasts!" Lin Moyu's eyes showed a hint of relief.

"This should not be a Heavenly Venerable's rule world."

The reason for this judgment was that Heavenly Venerables could already create living beings.

Though not creating from nothing, they could at least fuse and create new species of living beings.

So Lin Moyu was 90% certain that in a Heavenly Venerable's rule world, there would definitely be strong vitality.

Strong vitality would give birth to various weak living beings. The appearance of beasts and such would be correct.

Not being a Heavenly Venerable's rule world, Lin Moyu relaxed a bit. He reached out his hand and grabbed, causing soil and rocks to fly.

There was nothing under the tombstone, no remains.

"The remains are gone..."

A Divine Venerable's remains couldn't vanish into thin air. Even after a million years, there would still be remnants.

Now that the remains were gone, it could only mean that the rainbow absorption mentioned in the tombstone didn't spare even the corpse, absorbing it until not even dregs remained.

"Rainbow absorption, what exactly is it?!"

Lin Moyu thought to himself. At this moment, the skeleton divine generals sent news again, making another new discovery.

Lin Moyu immediately rushed over. This discovery was larger in scale, a group of houses built from trees.

There were over a dozen houses, with traces of habitation.

Judging from the style of the houses, those who lived here were not just humans, but other races as well.

However, now the people here were all gone.

Lin Moyu searched house by house, finally making a new discovery in one of them.

On the wood of this house, a large number of words were recorded, in human script.

This time the text was more detailed, with accurate time records.

The person who carved the text was called Du Zhengran, a human Divine Venerable who had reached Divine Venerable rank 7.

About 2000 years ago he accidentally entered this realm and tried every means but could not leave.

In the third year after he entered, the rainbow absorption appeared, absorbing part of his realm.

Because he was a high-level Divine Venerable, his perception was more obvious.

About 100 years of lifespan was absorbed, and his realm dropped somewhat.

A Divine Venerable rank 7's lifespan was at most over 5000 years, and he was already over 2000 years old at the time.

In other words, he would die of old age here after just 30 rainbow absorptions.

Later he discovered that even 30 absorptions was optimistic.

As the number of absorptions increased, his realm kept falling, and his lifespan was also falling. He could at most endure a dozen absorptions, about 100 years.

In these 100 years, he encountered some other Divine Venerables who had accidentally entered this place.

Some were human, some were from other races.

They died one by one due to the absorptions. He finally ended his own life when he was about to fall from Divine Venerable.
