Chapter 1654: The Energy Source of the Time House Formation
Lin Moyu and Luo Feiyu did not encounter any sand beasts on their way. According to Luo Feiyu's explanation, the number of sand beasts on the star where the Time House is located is not high, and the chances of encountering them are low.
Moreover, sand beasts have a strong sense of territory. If you encounter a sand beast, as long as you fly quickly and leave their territory, they generally will not pursue.
Sand beasts lack intelligence and only have instincts, the instincts of wild beasts. Lin Moyu vaguely guessed why the human race issued orders to clear out the sand beasts.
It is feared that if the number of sand beasts increases, it could lead to the resurrection of the once mighty Yellow Sand Giant Beast.
Or perhaps, the Yellow Sand Giant Beast was never truly killed. These yellow sands are its flesh and blood, and the sand beasts are more like parasites within its body.
The sages of the human race definitely had the ability to completely annihilate the opponent, but why they didn't do so back then is worth pondering.
At the level of the Beyond Realm, they would never do anything meaningless. Since they left it without completely killing it, there must be a reason.
When Lin Moyu saw the Time House, he had his answer.
The Time House was enveloped by a massive formation, with over a hundred stone houses evenly distributed at various nodes of the formation. There was also a palace situated at the center of the formation, controlling the operation of the entire formation.
As they approached the Time House, Lin Moyu heard a sound similar to a heartbeat.
At the same time, he sensed a force of vitality.
The Yellow Sand Giant Beast was indeed not killed; its heart was taken and used as the core of the formation, providing continuous energy for the Time House.
A mighty Beyond Realm Yellow Sand Giant Beast had its heart taken to serve as the core of a formation. One must admit, this is a rather tragic end.
But it also reveals the harshness of the great world; without sufficient strength, one will ultimately become dust, unable to live or die as they wish.
Lin Moyu finally understood why sand beasts were born and why they needed to be eradicated.
The Beyond Realm Giant Beast indeed has the potential to resurrect, as it was never truly dead.
Luo Feiyu noticed Lin Moyu's strange state and asked, "Junior Brother, what's wrong?"
Lin Moyu looked at the Time House, as if seeing a heart at the center of the formation, "Senior Brother Luo, did you hear a heartbeat?"
"Heartbeat?"
Luo Feiyu listened carefully for a few seconds, "No, I didn't hear anything."
"It seems that the Beyond Realm expert has done some special processing, and ordinary people can't hear it."
Lin Moyu understood that the reason he could hear the giant beast's heartbeat was because his soul was strong enough. Luo Feiyu's soul realm was not high enough, so he couldn't hear it.
Suddenly, a figure flew over from the distant sky, landing on the formation of the Time House, and shouted at the two, "Get inside."
The person was Jian Shen, whom they had just met. He looked even more serious than before, even a bit anxious. Luo Feiyu found it strange, and Lin Moyu glanced at the outside world, whispering, "Let's go in first."
The two passed through the formation, and the inside and outside of the formation were like two different worlds. No sound from outside could penetrate inside. This formation not only altered the flow of time but also had strong defensive capabilities.
Luo Feiyu remarked, "His temper is a bit strange."
Lin Moyu looked through the formation at the outside world, "No, he is saving us."
"Hmm?"
Luo Feiyu was puzzled.
Lin Moyu whispered, "They are coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, and sandstorms suddenly appeared, not just in one place, but in all directions.
The sandstorms connected the sky and the earth, and in an instant, they surrounded the Time House formation.
The formation became an isolated island.
Alarms sounded within the formation, and the doors of the Time Houses opened, with cultivators coming out from inside.
Cultivators also flew out from the palace, looking at the sandstorms outside the formation.
Lin Moyu frowned slightly, feeling that this formation was not simple. There were actually five Divine Sovereigns stationed here, which seemed a bit extravagant.
Five Divine Sovereigns, plus Jian Shen, made a total of six Divine Sovereigns.
There were also twenty Divine King cultivators.
Luo Feiyu asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Lin Moyu looked around, "Have you heard of beast tides?"
Luo Feiyu was taken aback; he naturally knew about beast tides, "You mean, sand beasts are going to attack the formation?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
At the center of the formation, beneath the palace, was the heart of the once Yellow Sand Giant Beast. The sand beasts in the sandstorms outside could be considered the offspring of the Yellow Sand Giant Beast.
It seemed reasonable for the offspring to come to rescue their father.
The Divine Sovereigns glanced at the Divine Kings within the formation and said in a low voice, "Stay here and don't come out."
With that, the five Divine Sovereigns flew out of the formation, standing side by side with Jian Shen.
They seemed to be discussing something, but their voices were blocked by the formation, making it inaudible inside.
However, Lin Moyu was an exception; the formation's isolation was ineffective against him, and he clearly heard the conversation of the Divine Sovereigns.
In the sandstorms, numerous beast shadows appeared.
One by one, sand beasts emerged, varying in size and strength.
The number of sand beasts was astonishing, coming in overwhelming numbers.
The powerful aura impacted the formation, and among them, there were at least twenty Divine Sovereign-level sand beasts.
Luo Feiyu felt embarrassed, as he had just said that the number of sand beasts was not high.
Especially Divine Sovereign-level sand beasts, which were rare.
Now, it seemed like he had slapped himself in the face.
The light of the star was suddenly obscured, and a larger sand cloud appeared in the sky.
The yellow sand in the starry sky was drawn in, forming a sand cloud.
Three even larger sand beasts appeared in the sand cloud, all elite-level sand beasts, each worth 100 Divine City merit points.
Elite-level sand beasts had a combat power of at least Divine Sovereign fifth stage, or even sixth stage.
They were very difficult to deal with.
Even the Time House formation could not completely isolate the aura of the elite-level sand beasts.
The powerful aura permeated through the formation, causing the faces of several Divine Kings to change drastically.
Luo Feiyu's expression was serious, "Three elite-level sand beasts, twenty Divine Sovereign-level sand beasts, countless Divine King-level sand beasts."
"Why are there so many sand beasts? They seem to be premeditated."
"But it doesn't matter, as long as the Divine Sovereigns can hold on for a while, help will soon arrive."
There was an army stationed outside the star system, and as long as the army moved, dealing with these sand beasts would not be a problem.
Lin Moyu shook his head, "The sand beasts have destroyed the teleportation arrays, not only on this star but also on the other six planets."
"The army has indeed received the message, but it will take an hour for them to come to our aid."
An hour...
Whether the six Divine Sovereigns could hold on for an hour was uncertain.
Luo Feiyu asked in a low voice, "How do you know?"
Lin Moyu did not hide it, "I heard the Divine Sovereigns say it."
Luo Feiyu did not doubt Lin Moyu's words; he instinctively chose to believe him.
But others did not believe it.
Lin Moyu's words were also heard by the twenty Divine Kings present, and someone immediately sneered, "A mere Divine King fifth stage, talking big."
"Just a Divine King fifth stage, we can't hear it, but you can?"
"Sand beasts destroying the teleportation arrays, what a joke. How could sand beasts know to destroy the teleportation arrays?"
"Sand beasts have no intelligence, only instincts. How could they understand such things?"
One after another, they questioned Lin Moyu.
Among them were Divine King ninth stage cultivators, as well as small Divine Sovereigns like Luo Feiyu.
