**Chapter 1443: Solid Ground, Useless Skeleton King**

Lin Moyu disappeared into the vortex. As he entered, a massive suction force pulled him deeper into the vortex. Throughout the process, his senses were obscured; he couldn't discern direction, distance, or speed, and it seemed as if even time had stopped.

Lin Moyu silently counted in his mind, trying to gauge how much time had passed and how far he had traveled. However, under the interference of an invisible force, time seemed to become chaotic, and his thoughts also experienced interruptions and pauses, rendering his counting useless.

Most of his senses were blocked, but with his peak fourth-grade soul, he could still perceive some anomalies. Lin Moyu felt as if he had passed through multiple layers of membranes, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to change, becoming different from the battlefield and the Great World.

"I've left the battlefield and am no longer in the Great World!" Lin Moyu thought to himself. This feeling was different from when he entered the Yellow Sand Desert. Both the Yellow Sand Desert and the Ancient Tomb had their own rules, but they were somewhat connected to the battlefield and the Great World. However, now, Lin Moyu couldn't sense any connection to the battlefield or the Great World, leading him to conclude that he had entered an independent world.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally felt solid ground beneath his feet. It was like a long teleportation had ended, and the scene before his eyes rippled like water, gradually becoming clear. His vision returned to normal after two seconds.

This was a dim world, with dark clouds covering the sky. Occasionally, light would break through, bringing some brightness to the world. The light filtering through the clouds was tinged with deep red, as if a raging fire was burning behind the thick clouds. However, the surroundings were cold, lacking the warmth that flames should bring.

Lin Moyu instinctively wanted to fly up and take a look, but a powerful force rose from the ground, holding him firmly. Lin Moyu exerted his strength, his body glowing with golden light, trying to break free from the force. In the struggle, Lin Moyu gained the upper hand, and his body slowly ascended.

But when he reached a height of 100 meters, the suction force from the ground suddenly intensified, preventing him from rising further. He was still far from the clouds. Lin Moyu tried several times with the same result and had to land.

He then leaped with all his might, his body shooting up like a cannonball, instantly surpassing 100 meters. At 200 meters, the ground's pull strengthened again, but it still couldn't stop Lin Moyu. It wasn't until he reached 300 meters that the pull became much stronger, and he had to fall back to the ground.

He jumped up like a cannonball and fell like a meteor, but the ground showed no signs of damage. If it were an ordinary star, the ground would have cracked, and the star might have even collapsed. For a God King, shattering a star with a punch is not difficult.

Next, gray flames burned fiercely, and a massive Skeleton King throne appeared in the sky. Before the Skeleton King could stand up from the throne, an invisible force pressed down on him. The Skeleton King was too tall, about 100,000 meters high, and just standing there, he surpassed the cloud layer.

The force came from the ground, as if countless hands were pulling the Skeleton King down. The Skeleton King was suppressed to the ground. At the Minor God Sovereign level, the Skeleton King was clearly stronger than Lin Moyu. He resisted the ground's pull with all his might, managing to lift his head, but only to a height of about 1,000 meters before he couldn't move further.

A height of 1,000 meters was the Skeleton King's limit. The more he lowered his head, the less the pull. After some attempts, Lin Moyu realized that the pull increased sharply every 100 meters. Within each 100-meter interval, the pull remained constant.

At his level, he could only fly to about 100 meters. For a second-stage God King, even 100 meters would be impossible. A first-stage God King would be stuck on the ground, unable to take off. With his God King body, he could jump to about 300 meters. The closer to the limit, the more the pull affected his movements, slowing him down and reducing his combat power.

In the area below 100 meters, he could exert his full strength. The Skeleton King, being too tall, could only lie on the ground. If he tried to stand, his body might collapse under the pull.

Looking at the sky, Lin Moyu seemed to see layers of invisible membranes covering the world. "It seems that the way out is not by flying up," he murmured. He had tried to find a way out, leaving himself a retreat. Clearly, the way out was not by ascending but through another path.

After a brief test, he confirmed that this place had similarities and differences with the Yellow Sand Desert and the Ancient Tomb. The similarity was the ancient aura, having endured countless ages, likely related to ancient times. The difference was the complete absence of the Great World's aura, indicating it was an independent world. The laws here were extremely thin, and using them would greatly deplete one's energy, making it hard to replenish.

However, this didn't matter to Lin Moyu, as his talent tree was the largest supply warehouse. With a thought, the Skeleton King, now useless, raised his bone sword and struck the ground with all his might. Although he didn't use any spells and his posture was off, limiting his power, the Skeleton King's strike was still stronger than a full-force attack from a ninth-stage God King.

The ground trembled slightly, and a small crack appeared, only finger-width, less than a meter long, and about ten centimeters deep. The Skeleton King's strike, capable of shattering 830 stars, only left a small crack on the ground. The Skeleton King's power wasn't limited; the ground was just too solid.

Lin Moyu felt the ground's solidity, comparable to God Sovereign materials, second only to the black materials in the Ancient Tomb and the mysterious manor. "Judging by the ground's strength, the beings here must be very powerful. Similarly, if there are curses here, they will be very strong. I wonder if my passive spell can withstand them."

Lin Moyu knew that while his passive spell was miraculous, it had its limits. If the attack was too strong, it would lose its effect. He put away the useless Skeleton King and summoned a large number of Skeleton God Warriors. Here, the Skeleton King was useless, though it could still be summoned to suppress enemies with its massive body if needed.

Over a million Skeleton God Warriors spread out, with Lin Moyu at the center, moving in all directions. In an unknown place, Lin Moyu used the oldest and most practical method, having the skeletons scout the way. The Light Speed Lich sat on Lin Moyu's shoulder, providing spell support to the Skeleton God Warriors. The warriors turned into streams of light, but their speed was much slower than in the Great World. Here, the Light Speed Lich's ability was greatly suppressed, its speed only one percent of normal.
