 **Chapter 1354: The Monster in Yellow Sand Lake, So Ugly**

On the vast expanse of the Yellow Sand Desert, Lin Moyu saw countless yellow sands rising into the sky. He vaguely heard terrifying roars.

In the sky, nine fireballs simultaneously shot out brilliant flames, straight into the sky. Layers of yellow halos flickered in the sky, as beautiful as clouds and mist. The terrifying pressure spread across the Yellow Sand Desert, and Lin Moyu squinted his eyes, momentarily unsure of what was happening.

At this moment, he was absorbing the soul power obtained from slaying Jin Hui. Compared to an ordinary ninth-rank God King, the soul power obtained from Jin Hui was much more substantial. After refining and absorbing this soul power, his cultivation could advance further. At this moment, the purple light on Lin Moyu's body had not completely disappeared. He had just recovered from soul collapse not long ago. Forcibly elevating his realm to the limit state inevitably led to soul collapse.

"What on earth is happening?" Lin Moyu muttered to himself, unable to understand.

Not only Lin Moyu, but everyone in the Yellow Sand Desert saw this scene and had no idea what was happening.

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva chanted a Buddha's name, "Heavenly phenomena, what is the reason?"

Even Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva, who had reached the realm of a small Buddha in the Buddha Tribe, equivalent to a Minor God Sovereign in the great world, couldn't understand what was happening outside.

Lin Moyu watched for a while, seeing the sky gradually return to normal, with yellow sand falling like raindrops. He then withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.

He then looked towards the distance, in the direction of the central lake.

According to the information he had obtained, in this deep region, besides the largest central Yellow Sand Lake, there were six other Yellow Sand Lakes.

The six Yellow Sand Lakes were evenly distributed in different areas, far apart from each other.

There was one near the demon fortress, one in the territory occupied by the Sand Tribe and Earth Monster Tribe, and one at the junction of the two.

Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva's area was similar, with three Yellow Sand Lakes under his control. The central lake, where they were to meet, was surrounded by these six Yellow Sand Lakes and was the largest. Because it was in the center, it was called the central lake.

Lin Moyu was about 1 billion kilometers away from the central lake. At his speed, it would take just over a day to reach it. But Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva had set a five-day timeframe, likely anticipating that the journey wouldn't be smooth. Reflecting on the information about Yellow Sand Lake, Lin Moyu found that the Stone Demon Tribe knew very little about it. They only knew that the water in Yellow Sand Lake constantly splashed against the shore, turning into yellow sand with each splash. It seemed that all the sand in the Yellow Sand Desert originated from this.

Some Stone Demons considered Yellow Sand Lake the source of the Yellow Sand Desert, but this was uncertain.

Lin Moyu adjusted his direction, planning to first check out the nearest Yellow Sand Lake before heading to the central lake. In less than an hour, after encountering a few waves of flying ants, Lin Moyu arrived at the edge of Yellow Sand Lake. He heard the sound of water splashing against the shore. The Yellow Sand Lake was much larger than he had imagined, roughly circular, with a diameter exceeding a thousand kilometers, much larger than an oasis.

The lake surface was not calm, with ripples constantly rising, creating waves that pushed the lake water forward, splashing against the shore.

The water that splashed against the shore all turned into yellow sand.

In Lin Moyu's eyes, the water seemed to lose its vitality instantly, turning into yellow sand.

What puzzled him was that such a large lake had very weak water element laws, completely dominated by earth and stone laws.

"Earth and stone?"

Lin Moyu was suddenly startled and quickly retreated.

The lake surface exploded, with water shooting into the sky and then falling.

The water that fell outside the lake instantly turned into yellow sand.

From the water column, a monster with a fish body and a dog head leaped out of the lake, pouncing towards Lin Moyu.

"So ugly!"

The Starlight Lich responded, enveloping the fish-bodied, dog-headed monster.

The monster lost its target, rolling in the air.

Lin Moyu didn't know what illusion it saw, but its actions indicated that it could fly.

It didn't fall but hovered in mid-air.

Then the Fire Lich flew out, and the monster was instantly engulfed in flames.

The monster screamed and struggled in the air.

Suddenly, it fell from the sky, and a water column from the lake pulled it back.

"Come back!"

Lin Moyu commanded, and the Fire Lich and Starlight Lich returned without entering the lake.

The situation in the lake was unknown, and Lin Moyu didn't plan to engage. Sending the two Liches in would be meaningless.

The fish-bodied, dog-headed monster was pulled back into the lake by the yellow water and disappeared.

Lin Moyu stood by the lake, connecting to Undead Vision.

In Undead Vision, the lake water turned gray, indicating no life force in the lake.

Beneath the lake surface, within the water, countless soul fires were faintly burning.

The lake water blocked Undead Vision, preventing a deeper view.

In the visible area alone, there were thousands of soul fires, each representing a ninth-rank God King monster.

In the unseen depths, who knew how many more there were, likely countless.

One Yellow Sand Lake contained so many monsters, and there were six such lakes.

Additionally, there was the central lake, many times larger, likely containing even more monsters.

Lin Moyu realized that monsters were the true rulers of this world.

Creatures like Jin Hui were insignificant compared to the vast number of monsters.

You could kill a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand.

But what about millions or tens of millions?

Even Little Ming Wang Bodhisattva would be overwhelmed.

Lin Moyu felt a sense of awe towards the Yellow Sand Desert.

Fortunately, these monsters couldn't leave Yellow Sand Lake. The monster earlier almost left but was pulled back by the water.

Judging by the water turning into sand when it hit the shore, these monsters might also turn into sand if they came ashore. This wasn't impossible.

A Skeleton God Warrior appeared beside Lin Moyu and bravely leaped into the lake with a splash.

Like the Death Knights, the Skeleton God Warrior had no life force.

Lin Moyu observed and found that the Skeleton God Warrior wasn't attacked by the lake monsters, which reassured him.

Lin Moyu then took control of the Skeleton God Warrior. Through its vision, he saw many fish-bodied, dog-headed monsters floating in the lake.

They seemed to be asleep, not swimming like fish, just floating with the lake's currents.

It was like the flying ants hibernating in their nests, not moving unless they encountered an enemy.

Even when the Skeleton God Warrior passed close to them, they didn't react.

Lin Moyu tried several times, even lightly touching the monsters.

The monsters' soul fires flickered slightly but remained inactive.

Clearly, light touches didn't reach their awakening threshold.

Feeling more at ease, Lin Moyu controlled the Skeleton God Warrior to dive deeper towards the lake bottom.
