**Chapter 1582: At Least Not Slapped Out**

**Stellar-level Spell: Summon Skeleton King!**

The undead flames burned fiercely, and a magnificent and exquisite skeleton throne emerged from the flames. Lin Moyu's Skeleton King, towering ten thousand meters high, stood up from the throne. It wore intricately designed heavy armor, and a bone cloak behind it burned with intense flames. The magnificent skeleton throne shattered, transforming into an equally magnificent and exquisite two-handed bone sword.

At this moment, the giant staff of the rune giant had already swung out. The stone staff moved so fast that it disappeared from sight, leaving no afterimage. Countless skeletal god generals were struck by an invisible force, shattering and dying on the spot. The stone staff inherited several characteristics of the runes: not only was it fast and powerful, but it also had a wide attack range. At least ten thousand skeletal god generals died under the staff.

Lin Moyu's heart moved, and the skeletal god generals quickly retreated, avoiding the attack from a distance. The Skeleton King had already drawn its sword. Facing the equally towering rune giant, the Skeleton King swung its bone sword.

**Spell: God-Slaying Slash!**

A galaxy of white bones appeared above the Skeleton King's head. In the galaxy, the bones surged like waves, forming countless skeletons. These skeletons also swung their swords along with the Skeleton King. Sword light shone on the rune giant, breaking numerous runes. The rune giant was sent flying by the powerful force, its protective runes shattered by more than half. However, the rune giant did not die, and its aura did not weaken much. Compared to the Abyssal Dragon Demon in the Four Star Region competition, the rune giant was much stronger. At that time, the Skeleton King had killed the Abyssal Dragon Demon with one strike, not even showing its full strength.

This moment marked the true debut of the Skeleton King after reaching the God Sovereign realm. The galaxy of white bones surged like a giant wave, instantly disappearing and reappearing in front of the rune giant. The galaxy of white bones wrapped around the rune giant like a giant hand. The Skeleton King's figure blurred and disappeared, reappearing on the galaxy of white bones. Standing on the galaxy, the Skeleton King looked down at the rune giant like a king. Holding the bone sword with both hands, it struck like lightning. The sword strikes fell like rain, densely packed. In the galaxy of white bones, countless skeletons also wielded their swords, slashing at the rune giant. More runes shattered, and the rune giant roared in anger, swinging its stone staff at the Skeleton King.

The bone cloak behind the Skeleton King moved without wind, transforming into a shield to meet the stone staff. With a loud bang, the shield shattered, but the stone staff was also repelled. The shield exploded into flames, which reformed and returned to the Skeleton King's back as a cloak. The Skeleton King's attack was unaffected. The giant sword created countless afterimages, striking thousands of times per second. The galaxy of white bones firmly held the rune giant, preventing its escape. More and more runes shattered.

The rune giant roared and spat out golden water. Lin Moyu's pupils contracted. He knew the golden water was a deadly weapon against his undead army. Although the Skeleton King lacked wisdom, it had strong combat instincts. Realizing the threat of the golden water, its eyes glowed red, and the undead flames surged. In an instant, the Skeleton King turned into a being of fire. The flames clashed with the golden water, producing a harsh hissing sound. The rune fragments in the golden water were burned away by the undead flames, rendering them ineffective. Although the golden water was powerful and contained the power of rules, it was too weak. The Skeleton King's power had reached the true God Sovereign level, and its undead flames even surpassed Lin Moyu's. With enough undead flames, the golden water was incinerated.

In the flames, the Skeleton King raised its bone sword and thrust it like lightning. The bone sword pierced through the rune giant's mouth and head. The sword glowed, and Lin Moyu seemed to hear the call of the bones. In the galaxy of white bones, countless skeletons raised their swords simultaneously. The Skeleton King exerted its strength, forcibly slashing within the rune giant. All the power of the galaxy of white bones was concentrated in this strike. This strike was even stronger than the God-Slaying Slash. The dazzling sword light exploded from within the rune giant, shattering all the runes. The rune giant screamed and collapsed, its body disintegrating into fragments. The rune giant died, its body fading away, and the stone staff disintegrated, leaving behind a corner of a rune.

This corner of the rune was much more complete than the previous rune fragments Lin Moyu had obtained. Although it was covered in cracks and had lost its divine essence, it was still a valuable material. For others, it might be useless, but for Lin Moyu, it was highly useful. Lin Moyu took the rune fragment and put it away. This battle fully demonstrated the Skeleton King's combat power, which was comparable to any low-level God Sovereign. If a God Sovereign had a powerful treasure, they might defeat the Skeleton King, but it wouldn't be easy.

Lin Moyu realized that as his realm increased, his ability to fight across levels seemed to grow stronger. Unlike other geniuses, whose ability to fight across levels weakened as their realm increased, Lin Moyu felt he was becoming more formidable. After putting away the broken rune fragment, the surrounding void became blurry again. This blurriness lasted for about ten seconds before the scene became clear again. Lin Moyu found himself back in the secret realm, facing the giant stone pillar with runes. However, the runes on the stone pillar were now cracked and had lost their divine essence. Lin Moyu knew that this corner of the rune was now useless.

"Did I pass the third stage?"

There was no prompt, nor did a vortex appear to leave the secret realm, so Lin Moyu didn't know if he had passed the third stage. After waiting for a few minutes, he finally sensed something. Looking up, he saw a black dot in the sky. The black dot quickly enlarged, revealing an arm covered in runes. Lin Moyu's heart tightened, then relaxed. He sensed the aura of the Human Emperor Network from the arm, indicating it came from the network. The arm grabbed the giant stone pillar and forcefully pulled it out. Lin Moyu felt the entire secret realm shaking violently, with continuous rumbling sounds. The ground cracked, and the clouds fell, as if the world was collapsing, giving a sense of impending doom.

A vortex appeared beside Lin Moyu, and the voice of the Human Emperor Network sounded in his ear, "Get out!"

Without hesitation, Lin Moyu entered the vortex and left the secret realm. In the next second, he returned to the Divine City star region. He sensed the presence of cultivators around him, with at least hundreds nearby. The surrounding space twisted continuously as more people emerged from the secret realm. Numerous exclamations filled the air.

"What happened to the secret realm?"

"Why did the entrance vortex disappear?"

"Why are so many people coming out?"

"Did something change inside?"

People who had just left the secret realm also looked puzzled. "I was fighting the poison bees, and suddenly I was out."

"Me too. It felt like a giant hand threw me out."

"I was slapped out."

"I was about to kill the Poison Bee Queen. What happened?"

Various voices filled the air. Lin Moyu listened to their exclamations and realized he was relatively fortunate. Most of these people had been forcibly ejected. It seemed the Human Emperor Network treated him well, at least not slapping him out.
