**Chapter 1624: You Actually Control the Ancient Rune!**
Each leaf was as large as a star. When they exploded, it was like countless stars simultaneously detonating, causing the entire galaxy to collapse.
Space collapsed, and it was like the end of the world.
In the explosion, the giant starry tree suddenly disappeared.
The Holy Venerable snorted coldly, "Courting death!" His figure flickered and also disappeared.
The terrifying explosion did not harm him in the slightest.
A desolate star system, one million light-years away from the explosion, had no living beings or resources. It had one star and three planets, making it a small star system.
The giant starry tree suddenly appeared here, its massive body smashing the only three planets to pieces.
At the same time, its branches wrapped around the star, pulling it directly to its roots.
Originally, there were already three stars under its roots, and now one of them had completely extinguished.
The giant starry tree's space jump had exhausted all the remaining power of this star.
"Trying to stop me? Dream on!"
The giant starry tree snorted coldly and disappeared again.
It performed another space jump and reappeared one million light-years away.
The jump was almost instantaneous, faster than a teleportation array.
One jump could take it one million light-years!
Another star under its roots extinguished and was discarded like trash.
The giant starry tree's size was too large, and each jump consumed the energy of an entire star.
Without borrowing the power of stars, its own power for space jumps would be exhausted after a few uses. Even the power of the Other Shore Realm was not infinite.
This time, the jump did not land in a place with stars, so it could not replenish its energy.
Only two stars remained in its roots.
After two consecutive space jumps, the giant starry tree paused for a few seconds, searching for its next target.
It quickly locked onto a target, a star system with a star.
Whether there were living beings in the star system was not within its consideration.
It didn't matter to it; it only needed the star. As for the living beings on the planets, their life or death had nothing to do with it.
At its level, it viewed others as ants.
It viewed Lin Moyu the same way, but Lin Moyu, this ant, had offended it and disrupted its plans. So it wanted revenge.
It knew that as long as it could reach the human star region, the Holy Venerable would not dare to act rashly against it.
Otherwise, as it said, once a war started, it would be enough to destroy hundreds of star systems and kill countless humans. This consequence was something even the Holy Venerable could not bear.
The star shone brightly, and the giant starry tree was about to perform another space jump.
The laws of space surged, and suddenly, everything changed. The laws of space collapsed.
The giant eye on the tree narrowed sharply, "The rules have been changed!"
The rules of the surrounding starry sky had been altered, and the laws of space lost their effect.
Immediately after, the Holy Venerable appeared in front of it.
The giant starry tree couldn't believe it, "How could you be so fast!"
It used the laws of space to perform space jumps, crossing one million light-years in an instant.
Two jumps meant two million light-years.
Although the Holy Venerable was a Saint, he did not have the laws of space. How could he catch up so quickly?
The Holy Venerable did not explain, "There is no need to explain to the dead."
The Holy Venerable took out a formation disk, which suddenly enlarged, projecting countless runes.
The runes connected to form a formation, covering billions of miles of the starry sky, also enveloping the giant starry tree.
The entire space instantly solidified, becoming incredibly sturdy.
Even if the Other Shore Realm fought inside, it would be difficult to break the starry sky.
Similarly, the giant starry tree's laws of space were also restricted, unable to perform space jumps.
"Die!"
The Holy Venerable struck out with a palm, and a giant palm print appeared in the starry sky, falling towards the giant starry tree.
In the center of the palm, a huge rune appeared.
The rune was not complete, with some parts missing, but it was still extraordinary.
The giant starry tree screamed, "Ancient rune, you actually control the ancient rune!"
Its scream was filled with terror. In its knowledge, the ancient rune was synonymous with danger.
If it were just fragments or a corner, that would be fine.
But if it were a relatively complete ancient rune, it would be a terrifying thing.
Countless branches and vines flew out, whipping towards the palm print.
The stars in its roots shone brightly, providing the giant starry tree with immense power.
The branches shattered before they even touched the palm print. The power of the ancient rune was unimaginably strong.
The giant starry tree screamed continuously, but it could not stop the ancient rune.
The Holy Venerable's palm landed on it, and a large part of the giant starry tree's body shattered.
A large number of branches broke off, and this palm destroyed at least one-fifth of its body.
"How can the Holy Venerable be this strong? It's impossible! The Holy Venerable can't be this strong!"
It had fought with the Holy Venerable of the demon race before.
Although it was not a match, it was not beaten this badly.
And even if it couldn't win, it could retreat calmly.
This was its confidence; it never thought that the human Holy Venerable would be much stronger than the demon race.
Until now, it realized it was wrong, terribly wrong.
At this moment, the Holy Venerable's second palm had already struck.
The giant starry tree began to struggle desperately.
The originally stable starry sky once again showed cracks.
It also possessed the power of rules.
The Holy Venerable could change the rules, and it could reverse the rules.
At the same time, the branches emitted immense power of rules, meeting the Holy Venerable's second palm!
Lin Moyu was immersed in the sea of knowledge.
He found that he really enjoyed reading various materials.
The materials contained not only information he didn't know but also the wisdom of predecessors.
For example, in one secret realm, there was a large river.
This river emitted a captivating fragrance, attracting you to take a sip.
If you drank it, congratulations, you were doomed.
But if you didn't drink it, you couldn't enter the second stage.
The river was the entrance to the second stage, and drinking it was the key.
So what to do?
Someone came up with a method. They created a puppet and stored their soul in the puppet, then drank the river water.
At the moment of drinking the water, the soul returned to the body.
In this way, they tricked the runes and entered the second stage.
They even passed the second stage but unfortunately couldn't find the entrance to the third stage and had to give up.
There were many such people and events, and the secret realm materials contained many things to be aware of.
The "Primary Star System No. 13283" that Lin Moyu was heading to had a secret realm called "Black Rain" and an ancient battlefield.
This was why Lin Moyu chose it.
Secret realms and ancient battlefields were both places he wanted to go.
Lin Moyu had already finished reading the materials on the Black Rain secret realm.
The Falling Stone secret realm had at least three stages. The first two stages had been cleared, and it was the Secret Realm Strategy Group that cleared them.
Detailed strategies were already available, but the third stage had not been discovered.
When Lin Moyu entered the secret realm, he needed to enter the second stage and find out how to open the next stage.
Lin Moyu now fully understood why the Human Emperor Network did not allow such strategies to be widely disseminated.
If everyone followed the strategies to complete tasks, the tasks would indeed become easier, but they would no longer serve to train cultivators.
This completely went against the original intention of the human race's high-level officials and violated the iron law of survival in the great world.
