**Chapter 1643: Waiting for a Rain, Awaiting a Storm**

From a distance, Lin Moyu saw his skeletal god generals. They returned from different directions, having fully explored the terrain of the secret realm.

The second stage of the secret realm was essentially a sphere, no different from an ordinary star.

The skeletal god generals flew in a circle in one direction and returned to their starting point.

However, there was no land; it was entirely a large water sphere. The outer layer was shrouded in thick clouds, with electric snakes dancing. The skeletal god generals did not enter the clouds. Throughout the exploration, no rune beasts were found.

"The strategy guide says that five cultivators have been here."

"One saw a rune beast in the sea, one saw a rune beast in the sky, and the other three saw nothing."

"This indicates that rune beasts do not always exist; certain conditions must be met for them to appear."

"Just like the torrential rain in the first stage..."

The Black Rain Secret Realm is related to water, both in the first stage and now.

Even the golden lightning is merely a precursor to the golden rain.

Therefore, the key to solving the problem must also lie in the water.

Water is the key to passing through the secret realm, a point easily thought of.

Lin Moyu believed that not only he but also the five people who entered before him must have realized this key point.

The key is how to find the solution.

Lightning continued to strike, bringing about golden rain.

The skeletal god generals, who had just returned, were dispatched again. If rune beasts only appear under certain conditions, there must be unusual occurrences in the secret realm.

This time, more skeletal god generals were dispatched, exceeding a million.

A million skeletal god generals were distributed throughout the secret realm, monitoring all changes within it.

As soon as anything unusual happened, Lin Moyu would know immediately.

Lin Moyu did not need to rely purely on luck like others.

He relied on numbers to balance out luck.

Lin Moyu was not in a hurry. If it was like the first stage, he indeed needed to wait.

He took out the "Symbol Language" again and began studying.

The vastness of the "Symbol Language" fascinated Lin Moyu.

Studying the general outline runes and then breaking them down was like solving puzzles, and Lin Moyu enjoyed it immensely.

Mastering the entire "Symbol Language" was very difficult.

Even with Lin Moyu's exceptional talent in runes, it required a lot of time.

Ten days after arriving at the second stage, he finally observed something unusual.

A tornado suddenly appeared in the secret realm.

As the tornado appeared, the previously calm sea suddenly began to churn with waves.

Lin Moyu snapped out of his rune studies and looked at the sea, "It's finally starting."

He transformed into a stream of light and flew rapidly within the secret realm.

Seconds later, he stopped in front of the tornado.

The tornado was enormous, like a dragon sucking water, drawing a large amount of seawater into the sky.

The seawater danced with the wind, and the tornado turned black as ink.

The sky suddenly became brilliant, with golden light descending from above.

In the clouds, countless golden electric snakes roared, like the wrath of a thunder god, striking the tornado with countless bolts of lightning.

It seemed as if they wanted to shatter the tornado.

Lin Moyu frowned, sensing something was wrong, and quickly retreated ten thousand miles.

The tornado, under the lightning attack, seemed to become enraged.

Lin Moyu vaguely heard a beast's roar, and the tornado instantly expanded several times.

Immediately, new tornadoes formed, one after another, tens, hundreds, thousands.

In the blink of an eye, the number of tornadoes exceeded ten thousand.

Tens of thousands of tornadoes covered a large area, forming a storm.

Countless seawater was drawn up, rushing into the sky.

The lightning also intensified, becoming denser.

The tornadoes were struck by hundreds and thousands of bolts of lightning and then shattered.

But new tornadoes would form immediately.

After the lightning, golden rain fell, landing in the tornadoes.

The ink-like seawater was tinged with a layer of golden brilliance, and its nature seemed to change slightly, with its power somewhat reduced.

In Lin Moyu's view, the seawater drawn up by the tornadoes was like heavy punches striking the sky, as if trying to break it.

The sky also resisted continuously, with neither side yielding.

The ocean and the sky were like two opposing armies, attacking each other, each trying to destroy the other.

Lin Moyu found it interesting, not expecting such a thing to happen.

He believed he was the first to discover this; none of the previous five people knew.

Roar!

A beast's roar sounded, and a terrifying aura swept over.

Lin Moyu saw a black shadow in the distance.

The shadow rose and fell in the ocean, occasionally leaping out of the water, revealing its enormous body.

It looked like a shark, a super-sized shark.

Its body was over a hundred thousand meters long, and its aura reached the Divine Sovereign realm.

The shark rune beast was covered in countless black and gold runes, flashing with a strange light, making it appear terrifying.

Just one look, and Lin Moyu knew its combat power was no weaker than a Divine Sovereign.

The shark rune beast's senses were extremely sharp. Despite being over a hundred thousand miles away, it had already detected Lin Moyu.

It roared, and countless tornadoes appeared on the sea surface, with immense suction pulling Lin Moyu from all directions.

The immense tearing force from all directions tried to tear Lin Moyu apart.

This tearing force also acted on the soul, trying to tear apart the soul world.

Compared to his physical body, Lin Moyu's soul world was stronger and more stable, so the tearing force had no effect.

The Hell of Bones twisted and deformed under the force. Lin Moyu's mind moved, and a Golden Armor Rune appeared in his hand.

This Golden Armor Rune was created in his soul and had not yet been fused with the undead legion, so Lin Moyu used it first.

Activating the Golden Armor Rune, golden armor appeared around Lin Moyu, blocking the external force.

"The tearing force is already very close to the Divine Sovereign realm, especially since it also targets the soul."

"It seems the previous entrants only glimpsed the shark rune beast and did not engage it."

"If they had fought, there should be some information."

"Perhaps they felt threatened and retreated immediately."

After reading many strategy guides, Lin Moyu had a good understanding of the people in the strategy group.

They were all top geniuses, and for them, the most important thing was not clearing the secret realm.

The most important thing was staying alive. As long as they were alive, they could clear the secret realm eventually.

If they failed once, they could try again.

So if they sensed danger, they would retreat immediately without hesitation.

Therefore, Lin Moyu was more than eighty percent sure they had not fought the shark rune beast.

The shark rune beast quickly approached, and Lin Moyu was ready to act.

Killing it might reveal the way to the third stage.

Roar!

A sharp cry came from the clouds, and a giant bird appeared in the sea of clouds and lightning.

The giant bird spread its wings, also over a hundred thousand meters long, no weaker than the shark rune beast.

The giant bird rune beast was also covered in black and gold runes, but unlike the shark rune beast, its runes were mostly gold.

Its feathers shimmered with a sharp light, serving as both shield and weapon.

The shark rune beast immediately shifted its focus, staring intently at the giant bird rune beast.
