 Chapter 1928: A Space-type Cosmic Beast

"The Calamity Scepter has five gems, and this one is the Elemental Gem."

Lin Moyu felt the power of the Elemental Gem and solemnly placed it on the Calamity Scepter.

It quickly merged into the Calamity Scepter, coming to rest next to the Soul Gem.

It connected tightly with the Soul Gem, as if they were one entity.

Lin Moyu contemplated the information transmitted by the Elemental Gem, pondering its function, and muttered to himself:

"The Elemental Gem is the boundary of all elemental laws. It can enhance all elemental laws and can also be used to comprehend various elemental laws."

"Only physical laws and some special laws are not affected by it."

"Even if I don't understand elemental laws, I can use it to manipulate various elements."

"It can't be used to cast spells, but if used to draw runes, it will greatly increase the power of the runes."

He looked at the Calamity Scepter, "What level of existence are you? With just two gems, you already surpass most treasures."

Lin Moyu felt that even the treasures used by the supreme beings in ancient times were not as good as the Calamity Scepter.

It should be said that there was no comparison between the two, the difference was too great.

Light flowed on the Calamity Scepter, eventually returning to calmness.

It once again became unremarkable in appearance, neither gorgeous nor exquisite, and even had some flaws.

At a glance, it looked ordinary, not even worthy of being called a treasure.

Lin Moyu knew that the Calamity Scepter had not yet been fully repaired.

Of the five core gems, three were still missing.

Only when all five core gems were found and reintegrated would the Calamity Scepter truly be able to exert its power.

"The Soul Gem, the Elemental Gem, what will the other three gems be?"

"I guess one of them should be a Physical Gem, since there's an Elemental Gem, there should also be one for physical laws."

Lin Moyu speculated in his heart as he put the Calamity Scepter away again.

The star had already shattered, and he was once again in outer space.

The millions of miles of starry sky no longer glowed, beginning to return to calmness.

Before long, the outer space became pitch black and deep once more.

Lin Moyu was in an extremely good mood at this moment. This accidental drift into outer space not only allowed him to see the Red Star and obtain the Soul-Slaying Sword and the Soul Sword Sect's legacy, but also acquire the Elemental Gem.

This time was a blessing, not a misfortune. It was worth it!

He stepped out again, resuming his journey home.

Suddenly, he frowned.

The Skeleton General he had placed in space for positioning had disappeared.

It wasn't killed, but had vanished.

He couldn't sense the Skeleton General, but its seat hadn't become vacant.

Lin Moyu quickened his pace, wanting to know what had happened.

This situation had occurred before, one possibility was being too far away, the second was that both parties had entered different worlds.

Just as Lin Moyu was speeding back, the Skeleton General's seat suddenly became vacant.

It had died. That Skeleton General had been killed.

Because he couldn't sense it, [Undying Spirit] wouldn't take effect, and the Skeleton General had no chance to revive.

Dead meant truly dead.

Lin Moyu raised his eyebrows, he hadn't sensed any resistance from the Skeleton General throughout, everything happened very abruptly.

Soon after, Lin Moyu returned to where the Skeleton General had disappeared.

Without positioning, his return location wasn't very accurate, but it was close enough, the difference wouldn't exceed a hundred thousand kilometers.

A hundred thousand kilometers in space was a very short distance.

For a Divine Lord, it was just half a second's distance.

For him, it was merely the distance of slightly moving his foot.

The space was peaceful, seemingly empty.

Alternating between Undead Vision and Soul Eye, he still found nothing.

"What exactly happened!"

Lin Moyu thought to himself, but his gaze didn't stop searching.

The space remained pitch black and calm, nothing could be seen.

A thought occurred to him, and a large number of Skeleton Generals appeared, flying out in all directions.

The Skeleton Generals emitted a pure white light, illuminating the limited space, bringing a touch of brightness.

Alternating between Undead Vision and Soul Eye, Lin Moyu observed this area of space.

Everything has a root cause. Lin Moyu never believed that anything happened without a reason. As long as he could find the source, he could solve it.

Suddenly, several more Skeleton Generals disappeared.

These Skeleton Generals were moving side by side, with a distance of no more than a thousand meters between them, and they disappeared simultaneously.

"It's here!"

Lin Moyu's gaze moved, at the moment the Skeleton Generals disappeared, he saw a trace of soul flame.

The soul flame was very weak, but it was still captured.

After about half a minute, those disappeared Skeleton Generals all died at the same time.

It was exactly the same as the previous situation, dying silently, the whole process was strange.

A mere trace of weak soul flame wasn't enough to determine the specific situation. Lin Moyu decided to try again.

Another batch of Skeleton Generals flew over, passing through the place where they had previously disappeared, but they were unharmed and didn't vanish.

Lin Moyu ordered them to fly back and forth, and there was still no problem.

"There must be a problem."

Lin Moyu thought to himself, if it happened once, it could happen twice.

After another five minutes, these Skeleton Generals disappeared again, very abruptly, without any prelude.

Fortunately, Lin Moyu hadn't given up and had been observing all along.

This time, he discovered a clue.

It was still that faint trace of soul flame, but besides the soul flame, Lin Moyu also saw a tiny fluctuation in space. It was as if space had suddenly been pulled open into a crack, and then this crack was quickly pulled shut, the whole process not exceeding 0.1 seconds.

It was within this 0.1 seconds that the Skeleton Generals on the crack disappeared.

With this additional piece of information, Lin Moyu quickly analyzed.

"There's a soul flame, which means there's a living being in there."

"But the soul flame is very weak, which means this being isn't very powerful, or maybe I just didn't see it clearly, only seeing a part of it."

"The appearance of a space crack indicates that this being can manipulate space."

"A being that can manipulate space, is it some kind of cosmic beast?"

"Besides the Cosmic Tree, what other cosmic beasts can manipulate space? This kind of cosmic beast should be very rare."

"Its soul seems weak, but how did it easily kill the Skeleton Generals?"

The Skeleton Generals had the Golden Armor Talisman for protection and weren't easy to kill, creating an obvious contradiction.

Just as Lin Moyu was pondering, the Skeleton Generals died again, their seats becoming vacant.

The time from disappearance to death was exactly half a minute, not a second more, not a second less.

This meant that the damage the Skeleton Generals suffered inside was very stable.

Lin Moyu's knowledge base didn't have information about this kind of cosmic beast, and he didn't know its true situation.

He sent out Skeleton Generals again, intending to continue investigating.

In fact, Lin Moyu was very clear that for safety, he should leave immediately and not get entangled.

But the other party's ability to manipulate space firmly attracted him.

In fact, many cosmic beasts are excellent cultivation materials.

Those cosmic beasts born with certain laws often leave corresponding crystals after death, through which one can comprehend the laws.

Like the Cosmic Tree, it was a hunting target for cultivators of many races, but unfortunately, it was too strong, and its space laws gave it extremely strong survival abilities, so various races had always been unable to hunt it down.

Now that there was a cosmic beast that might have mastered space laws before his eyes, how could he not be tempted?
