 ### Chapter 1695: A Close Call

Lin Moyu had once been taken through space by Yu Qingrou. Yu Qingrou mastered the laws of space and used them to traverse space. The feeling was different from using a teleportation array and also different from his current method of traversing space.

When Yu Qingrou traversed space, it felt effortless and natural, as if she could go wherever she wanted. The teleportation array, on the other hand, felt rigid, as it was fixed-point teleportation. His current method was more like violently breaking through space, charging through recklessly.

Although the goal was similar, it was very cumbersome. Lin Moyu crashed into a space rift, and a second later, he suddenly emerged a billion kilometers away. Crossing a billion kilometers in one second was much faster than flying.

Lin Moyu's entire body sparked with lightning. After a second, he tore through space again and crashed into it. Again and again, Lin Moyu approached his destination at an astonishing speed. His soul power was being consumed rapidly, and even the talent giant tree couldn't replenish it fast enough.

"Faster, faster!" Lin Moyu urged himself. The seawater below became increasingly clear, with less and less blood, and it was decreasing at an alarming rate. The moment the seawater became completely clear was when the blood drop would condense and form. That 0.5 seconds was a matter of life and death for Lin Moyu.

Time passed second by second, and Lin Moyu got closer and closer to his destination, but his heart kept sinking. He realized he might not make it in time. He had already given his all, and his soul power was almost exhausted. The state of his origin spell was also difficult to maintain.

At this moment, the blazing sun high in the sky suddenly shot down billions of sharp arrows. A corner of the ancient rune in the sun glowed, and the billions of sharp arrows continuously poured into the sea. The sea surface surged with huge waves, and the retreating blood suddenly stagnated, slowing down its gathering speed.

Seeing this, Lin Moyu was overjoyed and pursued with all his might. The ancient rune was helping him. The ancient rune had no consciousness or wisdom, but it had instincts. Lin Moyu had just eliminated the swordsman, making the ancient rune acknowledge him. It instinctively felt that what Lin Moyu was doing would also benefit itself. Since the blood wanted to retreat, it would stop it. Even if it couldn't completely stop it, it could at least delay it for a while. A few seconds of delay was a matter of life and death for Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu tore through space with all his might and finally reached his destination. The blood was gathering here, forming a huge vortex on the sea surface. The closer to the center, the deeper the color of the blood sea. The farther away, the clearer the seawater.

Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief, "I made it!" At this moment, he felt utterly exhausted. His soul power was completely depleted, and his energy and spirit had dropped significantly, making him feel like he wanted to sleep forever. In this state, other cultivators would be unable to fight, but Lin Moyu was used to it.

The origin spell was about to disappear, and Lin Moyu used all his strength to push his realm to the fifth rank of the God Sovereign. Bang! His soul collapsed. A flash of purple light, the talent activated, and the collapsed soul was instantly reorganized and reborn. The exhausted soul power also returned to its peak state.

With a flick of his finger, the Undying Flame burned fiercely, and the Skeleton King appeared in the air. At the same time, two origin spells were ready, waiting for the blood drop to fully condense. From not having enough time to waiting, Lin Moyu had helped the ancient rune, and the ancient rune had saved his life. Cause and effect, that's how it was.

After waiting for two seconds, the vortex suddenly accelerated, completing hundreds of times of acceleration in an instant. The seawater outside the vortex became clear and blue in an instant. A drop of blood appeared at the center of the vortex.

"Now!" Lin Moyu's heart moved, and the two origin spells were activated simultaneously. The Skeleton King was the first to strike with a sword. A sword light shone on the blood drop. Immediately after, Lin Moyu's aura reached the fourth rank of the God Sovereign, and he also struck with a sword. This time, without the power of belief, the power was weaker than the previous strike. But it was still enough to destroy the blood drop.

Under the sword light, the blood drop kept deforming, on the verge of breaking. At this moment, a soul aura suddenly emerged from the blood drop, giving Lin Moyu a creepy feeling. He felt as if he was being watched.

"This blood drop is different." "There's a trace of a soul inside." "The soul is awakening." There was no need to think; Lin Moyu immediately took out the Soul Shooting Bow. He poured all his soul power into it and shot arrow after arrow. At this moment, there could be no hesitation. Any delay could lead to danger. No one knew what kind of means these ancient powerhouses had. They were too terrifying and strange. Lin Moyu didn't dare to gamble.

The Soul Shooting Bow fired arrow after arrow, and the blood drop kept deforming under the attack of the soul arrows. The Skeleton King also continuously attacked the blood drop. Facing the giant bone sword, the blood drop seemed so small. But it was incredibly resilient and refused to break. However, under the continuous attacks, the blood drop lost the possibility of escaping, being firmly trapped and unable to break through the void.

Unless it could hold out until Lin Moyu's power was completely exhausted, but Lin Moyu wouldn't give it the chance. Lin Moyu multitasked, summoning the Skeleton God Generals. In an instant, the sky was filled with countless Skeleton God Generals, numbering in the millions. Whether useful or not, the Skeleton God Generals swung their white bone swords, carrying the power of the bone law and the undead law, striking the blood drop.

Whether it was the undead law corroding the soul or the Soul Shooting Bow killing the soul, Lin Moyu didn't know. He only knew that in just two seconds, he had shot over a hundred arrows, and his soul power was once again exhausted. The blood drop finally shattered, and the trace of the soul inside was annihilated with a scream.

"Finally done!" Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief, his heart trembling as he used True Sight for the third time. Amidst the Buddhist chants, the future scene was reflected back. This time, there were no unexpected events, and he didn't die. Only then did Lin Moyu truly relax, knowing that it was really over and he had once again escaped death.

True Sight had once again proven its worth. Lin Moyu felt that the true role of the Elemental Lich might not necessarily be in combat. Sometimes, in support roles, the Elemental Lich's value was even greater. Lin Moyu murmured, "The Elemental Lich has ten slots. The Buddha Lich can't be replaced, so there are actually nine flexible slots left." "If there's a chance, I should find some special materials to create more special liches like the Buddha Lich." "Compared to straightforward combat liches, they might be more valuable." "And now that I've reached the God Sovereign realm, I should really understand the laws of space." "With the laws of space, I can move freely and be much safer."

Looking at the clear sea, with the smell of blood gone, Lin Moyu felt at ease. He leisurely ascended into the sky, flying towards the blazing sun. Next, he would collect the runes and clear the Maple Forest Secret Realm. Without using the wings of the undead or the laws of time, he flew for half a day before finally returning to the blazing sun. He saw the corner of the ancient rune again. But now, there was something new on the ancient rune—a small grass with maple leaves.
