Chapter 1213

It requires a vast amount of soul power to go from True God Rank 9 to God King.

He converted this portion of soul power into his own redundancy.

After entering the deeper areas, he might have to face continuous slaughter.

There are not only monsters and the Demon Race, but also boss monsters.

He certainly didn't want to suddenly ascend to God King in the middle of a fight; that would be disastrous.

After resting for a moment, Lin Moyu turned his head to look at the pile of stones not far away.

The stone pile, resembling a small hill, was carved with strange runes.

This was an exit of the Yellow Earth Desert; one could leave the Yellow Earth Desert through this stone pile.

Every oasis had such a stone pile, which Lin Moyu had seen before.

However, this particular stone pile seemed somewhat different.

Lin Moyu did not approach it; instead, he retreated a few steps.

He summoned a Skeleton God Warrior and had the Skeleton God Warrior approach the stone pile.

Just as the Skeleton God Warrior was ten meters away from the stone pile, it suddenly vanished.

Lin Moyu maintained a connection with the Skeleton God Warrior at all times, and the instant it vanished, Lin Moyu activated Undead Vision.

Through Undead Vision, Lin Moyu saw a large expanse of Soul Fire.

Every cluster of Soul Fire was incredibly vigorous and extremely powerful.

Immediately following this, an overwhelming barrage of attacks descended, and the Skeleton God Warrior collapsed on the spot.

But the next second, Undead was triggered, and the Skeleton God Warrior was instantly resurrected.

This resurrection clearly caught the opponent by surprise, and they failed to react for a moment.

It was during that moment of the opponent's distraction that Lin Moyu saw their true appearance.

In the grey and white world, sand danced in the air, and a sandstorm was raging.

Amidst the sandstorm, one Stone Demon after another, exuding majestic auras, stared at him with blood-red eyes.

The next second, the attacks rained down again, and the Skeleton God Warrior was killed once more.

This time, Lin Moyu did not let it resurrect, but instead had it return to the Spell Star.

He already understood what was going on.

He stood up and left without pausing, turning into a beam of light and disappearing into the vast desert.

Not long after Lin Moyu left, dozens of pitch-black figures appeared at the boundary between the middle layer and the deep layer.

Stone Demons of God King Rank 9 appeared, their gazes sweeping over the oasis.

Finding that Lin Moyu had already departed, they silently returned to the deep layer.

Lin Moyu only stopped after he was a million kilometers away from the oasis.

"It seems they already know about their stronghold being slaughtered and have prepared a trap waiting for me."

"As long as I enter the deep layer, I will be besieged."

"If I choose to retreat and leave, I will likewise be teleported into the trap they set up in advance when I approach the stone pile."

"They thought this through quite well; the Stone Demons' brains don't seem that bad after all!"

Lin Moyu muttered to himself with a hint of mockery.

He looked up at the fireball above; the deep layer was the area radiated by the No. 8 and No. 9 fireballs.

Although there were only two areas, their combined surface area was larger than both the middle layer and the outer layer combined.

He had just entered Area 8 from Area 6.

However, Area 6 was not only connected to Area 8; there were also connection points to Area 9.

The deep layer was so vast that he could completely choose to enter from Area 9.

In that case, the trap the Stone Demons had set up would naturally be rendered ineffective.

Thinking normally, that was indeed the case.

Given the intelligence of the Stone Demons, being able to set up the previous trap was already remarkable.

Lin Moyu set his sights on the direction and was about to head toward the No. 9 fireball when he suddenly stopped.

"No, my thinking is too habitual."

"Stone Demons aren't very smart, but it's not like all Stone Demons are stupid; it's not impossible for a smart one to show up."

"Besides, there might not only be Stone Demons inside; there could be other demons, smart demons."

"If they could set up the previous trap, they could also set up others, and they probably could guess that I would head toward Area 9."

"Demons have many methods; even if I enter from Area 9, I might be discovered or even surrounded."

"Even if they can't teleport me there, they might be able to teleport themselves here."

"Moreover, I am not familiar with the deep layer, and I have no idea what the situation is inside…"

Lin Moyu put himself in their shoes; if it were him setting the trap, he would have too many ways to surround the opponent.

Although he was confident in his strength, he didn't like being ambushed.

Lin Moyu immediately changed direction and headed toward Area 7.

Of the three areas in the middle layer, Area 5 was jointly controlled by the Sand Tribe and the Earth Monster Race.

Area 6 was occupied by the Demon Race.

Area 7 was occupied by various different races, with each small tribe governing itself; relatively speaking, it was a bit more chaotic.

However, Lin Moyu had no concerns about this; as long as they weren't a hostile race and didn't provoke him first, he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke others.

If it were a hostile race, he would just kill them while he was at it.

If someone came to provoke him, he would kill them just the same.

He wanted to borrow the path from the very edge of Area 7 to enter Area 9.

He didn't believe the Stone Demons' tentacles could reach that far.

Amidst the yellow sand, Lin Moyu turned into a stream of light and moved forward rapidly.

The Yellow Earth Desert was vast and restricted everywhere, but Lin Moyu's speed had reached its limit.

He encountered Earth Giants on the way, but Lin Moyu did not kill them this time, simply sweeping past them.

By the time the Earth Giants fully revived, Lin Moyu was long gone, and the Earth Giants could only turn back into statues.

Two days later, Lin Moyu saw an oasis again; it was the oasis belonging to Area 7.

Chapter 1339: Bizarre Coexistence

There were two oases in Area 7, each leading to different locations in Area 9.

Entering Area 9 from the oasis in front of him would be relatively closer to Area 8.

Further away, there was another oasis that could also lead to Area 9.

When Lin Moyu saw the oasis, he slowed his pace and gradually came to a stop.

He chose to enter Area 9 from here.

In his mind, if a smart guy had truly appeared among the Stone Demons, they would definitely guess that he might enter the deep layer from the furthest point.

So he could do the opposite and enter from a closer point.

That was just one reason.

The second reason was that there were other people here.

It wasn't the Sand Tribe or the Earth Monster Race, but people from various races—and there were a lot of them.

Because there was no unified plan of action, a special situation had emerged here.

Some people would occasionally retreat from the deep layer and return to the oasis to rest.

Once rested, they would enter the deep layer again to hunt monsters, obtain materials from them, and come back to comprehend laws.

This was relatively safe, and once there was danger, they could escape through the stone piles in the oasis.

It was just that once they escaped, all keys were voided, and entering the Yellow Earth Desert again required hunting boss monsters from the outer layer to obtain keys; the whole process was very troublesome.

These powerhouses who had the resources to enter the deep layer were all God King Rank 9 existences.

And they often formed small teams; there weren't many who acted alone.

Although they were all individuals from small tribes, once the Demon Race wanted to deal with them, they would unite.

Because they knew deeply that if they didn't unite here, they would inevitably be killed or driven away by the Demon Race.

At first, the number of individuals was too small, and they were indeed suppressed by the Demon Race.

Later, as the number of individuals increased, they gradually formed large-scale teams, and even the Demon Race wouldn't easily make a move against them.

After all, besides the Demon Race, there were the Sand Tribe and the Earth Monster Race.

Thus, the Sand Tribe, the Earth Monster Race, the Demon Race, and the individuals formed a strange balance here.

Lin Moyu approached the oasis, and silhouettes gradually appeared in his line of sight.

Activating Undead Vision, from tens of thousands of kilometers away, he saw clusters of vigorous Soul Fire.

On the edge of the oasis, everyone was a God King Rank 9 powerhouse.

They seemed to be resting, meditating, or comprehending laws.

There were also many people talking, and the atmosphere seemed quite good.

At this moment, Lin Moyu felt as if he were seeing the scene at the entrance of a Dungeon in a Small World.

There were also many people, also in groups of three or five, either resting or calling out to pull people into teams.

It was just that the people here mostly did not belong to the same race.

Ox Demon Race, Golden Eagle Race, Black Iron Race…

Various races gathered together, and surprisingly, no conflict occurred.

Lin Moyu found it incredibly strange; some of the races inside were even inherently hostile, yet they were surprisingly restrained and did not make a move.

This scene was almost impossible in the Great World.

Lin Moyu's approach attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Among them, a guy from the Golden Eagle Race suddenly spread his golden wings and stood up abruptly.

The Golden Eagle Race and the Human Race were mortal enemies, the kind that would fight to the death upon meeting.

He stared fixedly at Lin Moyu, and Lin Moyu stared fixedly at him, neither giving an inch.

The reason Lin Moyu didn't make the first move was that the situation here was quite bizarre; it was not advisable to make a move before figuring out the situation.

Moreover, killing a God King Rank 9 Golden Eagle Race member would be difficult in the Great World, but it was not difficult in the Yellow Earth Desert.

Here, speed was restricted, and the Golden Eagle Race's greatest advantage could not be utilized.

Thus, he became a bird in a cage, and Lin Moyu could crush him whenever he wanted.

The Golden Eagle Race member also didn't make a move; there was hatred deep in his eyes, but he restrained himself for some reason.

Beside him, an Ox Demon Race member whispered, "Restrain yourself, don't break the rules."

The Golden Eagle Race member heard this, and his aura gradually converged.

He moved his gaze away from Lin Moyu, lowered his head silently, and chewed on the food in his hand.

"Rules?"

"These races are clearly hostile, yet they can restrain each other; is it because of the rules?"

"And who set these rules?"

Lin Moyu took in the situation before him; he could recognize many of the races inside.
