Chapter 2437: Are You Coming to Die?
There are countless living beings in the World Sea.
Besides various schools of fish, there are also shrimp, crabs, insects, snakes, and all kinds of other creatures.
Deep in the World Sea, there is a special creature called the stone insect.
Stone insects are extremely rare, only occasionally found in the World Sea at depths exceeding 500,000 meters.
Stone insects are very peculiar. After they die, they turn into a stone, which is their corpse.
Then all their consciousness merges into their own corpse, waiting to be reborn with awareness, essentially reviving themselves.
During this period, the stone is like a spiritual material.
To protect themselves, stone insects scatter countless insects.
These insects exist between the virtual and real, can ignore most attacks, and can trigger the enemy's own laws to attack.
This is also a way for stone insects to protect themselves.
Once successfully reborn, the stone insect can undergo a division, splitting into a new stone insect, turning one into two.
It is through this cycle of death and rebirth that stone insects have managed to multiply and survive until now.
Unfortunately, this time it encountered Lin Moyu, and after its death, it couldn't wait for rebirth.
Lin Moyu obtained a spiritual material, placing it into his rule world. Lin Moyu brought the stone insect in front of [Infinite Fusion], asking, "Do you want it?"
[Infinite Fusion] had no reaction, seemingly in deep sleep.
Lin Moyu pushed the stone closer, directly touching [Infinite Fusion].
A suction force appeared, and the sleeping [Infinite Fusion] firmly absorbed the stone insect.
Watching the stone insect being sucked in, Lin Moyu chuckled, "Even asleep, it doesn't forget to eat."
He could feel that after absorbing the stone insect, [Infinite Fusion]'s aura began to recover rapidly.
At this rate, it wouldn't take long to recover, and might even become stronger than before.
"It really does need spiritual materials."
Lin Moyu knew his guess wasn't wrong; spiritual materials could indeed help [Infinite Fusion] recover its power and even strengthen it.
Spiritual materials were its food, and it was very picky. Each time it ate, it needed something better than the last time.
Now, even if given a low-grade spiritual material, it wouldn't eat it.
Withdrawing his consciousness from the rule world, Lin Moyu saw that the pit was now empty, with no more blue-green insects.
All he could hear was the sound of the waterfall pouring down. Lin Moyu looked towards the exit ahead.
The waterfall rushed out from this exit, and Lin Moyu followed the trajectory of the waterfall, bursting out from the exit.
The world changed from dark to bright, becoming clear. Lin Moyu found himself standing high in the sky.
The waterfall fell tens of thousands of meters, like heavenly water crashing into a vast ocean.
Below him was a vast expanse of water.
Looking into the distance, the ocean seemed endless.
In the ocean, he could faintly see some islands in the distance.
The ocean surged, with waves crashing. When Lin Moyu saw the ocean, he realized it wasn't safe.
The water flowing in the ocean was from the World Sea, and from the depths of the World Sea at that, which was extremely dangerous in itself.
Not to mention that there might be other dangers lurking in the ocean.
The waterfall flowed in from the World Sea, and over so many years, some creatures must have been brought in.
These creatures would not be easy to deal with.
"This world is divided into many areas, and different areas should have different levels."
"If where we first entered was the outermost layer, then we should have entered one layer now."
Lin Moyu instinctively checked the marks on his body.
Of the five marks he had left, only two remained now.
Besides the lizard Heavenly Venerate he had killed, two other Heavenly Venerates had also died.
Lin Moyu was about to resume his old job of sending Skeleton Generals to explore the space when suddenly he looked to the distance.
In the distance, beyond his sight, he sensed strong auras approaching.
Activating his undead vision, he saw two soul fires. From the intensity of the soul fires, he could tell they were both mid-level Heavenly Venerates.
The soul fires were constantly colliding; the two mid-level Heavenly Venerates were fighting.
Lin Moyu didn't want to get involved. No matter who was fighting, it had nothing to do with him whether they lived or died.
He sent out over ten thousand Skeleton Generals, dispersing them in all directions.
Lin Moyu didn't need to do anything, just wait quietly.
The Skeleton Generals planned to first explore the edges of the space, then enter the ocean to search for potential dangers.
Lin Moyu didn't want to meddle in others' affairs, but one of the fighting Heavenly Venerates suddenly flew towards him, clearly having discovered him.
Lin Moyu frowned but didn't leave. He wanted to see what the other party intended.
They could fight all they wanted; as long as they didn't provoke him, he didn't care if they fought until the sky fell.
But if they involved him, Lin Moyu wouldn't be polite.
The two soul fires approached rapidly, and Lin Moyu finally saw clearly.
The one in front was a demon, while the one chasing behind was actually a huge flying fish.
"It's him!"
The mid-level Heavenly Venerate demon belonged to the leopard clan. This clan wasn't slow, but obviously his speed was no match for the flying fish. Shaking it off seemed difficult.
Looking at him, he was already injured in many places, and his aura was not as strong as at his peak.
Lin Moyu remembered him; he had been very loud before, showing hostility towards humans.
He was one of those who had placed a mark on Lin Moyu.
At that time, this mid-level Heavenly Venerate demon had been imposing, his whole body radiating dazzling light, as if each hair was like an arrow, a deadly weapon.
But now, his fur was disheveled, much of it cut off, exposing his skin.
Obviously, he was no match for the flying fish and was in a very sorry state.
The flying fish was over a thousand meters long, with two pairs of huge wings. The wings were as thin as cicada wings but extremely sharp, reflecting a metallic luster.
The flying fish flapped its wings, launching attacks that cut space, leaving fissures.
The leopard Heavenly Venerate let out a strange cry, immediately accelerating and changing direction, dodging the attacks.
Lin Moyu was inwardly shocked; the flying fish's attacks were very powerful.
This space was extremely solid, and it was difficult to create fissures.
Clearly, this flying fish's attack power was top-tier even among mid-level Heavenly Venerates.
However, Lin Moyu also noticed that the flying fish had many wounds as well.
"This flying fish, though its attack power is strong, its defense is average."
"It's just that its body is huge, so these injuries are just flesh wounds to it."
"Its attacks are too powerful, the leopard Heavenly Venerate can't block them, so he can't change his form and can only rely on agility to cope."
"Unfortunately, he's also outmatched in agility."
"It seems this guy is coming over to divert trouble to me."
Lin Moyu quickly analyzed the other party's intentions; clearly, the other party was coming with ill intentions.
Lin Moyu became vigilant. Heavenly Venerates all had secret techniques; no Heavenly Venerate was truly easy to deal with.
He couldn't be careless just because he had killed Heavenly Venerates before.
When the leopard Heavenly Venerate saw Lin Moyu, he showed a look of joy, but more of cruelty, "It's actually you. I was just worried about not finding you, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself!"
Lin Moyu sneered, "I was looking for you too."
The leopard Heavenly Venerate laughed loudly, "Looking for me? Looking for me to die?"
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "You'd better worry about yourself. You can barely protect yourself now."
The leopard Heavenly Venerate's face changed, and suddenly his whole body shone brilliantly as he let out an angry roar.
Lin Moyu's rule world shook, and the World Tree rustled, stabilizing the rule world.
This roar contained an extremely strong soul impact, causing Lin Moyu to be momentarily dazed.
Taking advantage of Lin Moyu's daze, the leopard Heavenly Venerate threw something at him.
By the time Lin Moyu came to his senses, the object was already in front of his eyes.
The flying fish that had been chasing the leopard Heavenly Venerate suddenly changed direction, charging towards Lin Moyu.
"So this is his method of diverting trouble."
As soon as this thought arose, the leopard Heavenly Venerate let out another roar, impacting Lin Moyu's soul again.
Although the daze only lasted for a moment, in the current situation, a moment's daze could be fatal.
