Chapter 2083

"The Power of Origin has strengthened!"

The stars not only became brighter, but the Power of Origin released from them had also strengthened slightly.

As the stars brightened, his vision became clearer, and his visible range increased significantly.

This situation had occurred before when Qin Huaiyuan died.

Lin Moyu's original visible distance was only one hundred meters, but after Qin Huaiyuan died, his visible distance increased directly to two hundred meters.

Now, the visible distance had doubled again, reaching about four hundred meters.

"The brighter the stars, the smaller the obstruction from the Power of Origin within the Origin Secret Realm."

"These lights are like sunlight, and the Power of Origin in the Secret Realm is like mist."

"When the sunlight becomes intense, the mist dissipates."

"The star appeared after Qin Huaiyuan died; or rather, it had always existed and was only activated after absorbing Qin Huaiyuan's power."

"This strengthening must mean that another Heavenly Venerable has died."

Of the thirty-six people who entered this time, Lin Moyu divided them into two categories.

Gu Nianshui and the seven Heavenly Venerables from the Lan Family formed a team. He didn't know what methods Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai had used to control these seven Heavenly Venerables, making them willingly follow Gu Nianshui's orders.

Lin Moyu had noticed something wrong with them early on; these seven Lan Family Heavenly Venerables seemed to have lost their self-awareness and had become puppets.

The methods of the Sacred Land were indeed impossible to guard against.

Besides Gu Nianshui and her group, the remaining twenty-eight people formed the second category.

These twenty-eight Heavenly Venerables, including himself, were each acting on their own.

In most cases, these twenty-eight people were enemies rather than friends, and it was hard to trust one another.

However, it couldn't be ruled out that some of them had personal connections, were acquaintances, or were even on good terms.

Lin Moyu had his own choice, which was to trust no one.

If they didn't provoke him, they could live in peace, but if they provoked him, he wouldn't be polite, even to Gu Nianshui.

Not to mention that Gu Nianshui only had the seven Lan Family Heavenly Venerables; even if all the Heavenly Venerables in the Origin Secret Realm were protecting her, they couldn't stop him.

As for the soul oath.

Lin Moyu didn't care about that at all.

He had only sworn not to participate in the struggle for the star inheritance; he hadn't said he couldn't kill Gu Nianshui.

These were two different things. Lin Moyu had left himself a way out in his oath, and more than one, at that.

Finally, the Skeleton Divine General discovered another large lake, and Lin Moyu immediately rushed over.

The Power of Origin in the lake flowed and rippled like water, and there was no killing intent rolling in the air.

Standing in the distance, Lin Moyu mobilized over ten thousand Skeleton Divine Generals to launch an attack on the lake from all directions.

Sword qi swept through, slicing open the surface of the lake.

Beneath the surface was churning killing intent.

The pure white sword qi stirred up the killing intent, emitting a dull, rumbling sound.

Huge waves rolled on the lake surface as the attacks of the Skeleton Divine Generals finally awakened the existence at the bottom of the lake. A vortex suddenly swirled up, and countless amounts of the Power of Origin were sucked toward it.

A piercing scream like metal rubbing against metal rang out as a thousand-meter black dragon, formed from the fusion of killing intent and the Power of Origin, rushed out of the lake and lunged straight at the Skeleton Divine Generals.

For a moment, the killing intent soared to the heavens, covering the surroundings and sweeping across the world.

Unfortunately, the killing intent had no effect on the Skeleton Divine Generals; they didn't know what fear was.

They continued to slash with their bone swords, causing the black dragon to shriek incessantly.

Once the killing intent lost its effectiveness, the black dragon was only at the combat power of a Peak Supreme and could not stop the assault of the Skeleton Divine Generals.

In the blink of an eye, the thousand-meter black dragon was hacked into pieces, and the killing intent collapsed with a boom.

The lake water boiled and exploded a few seconds later.

Four more origin crystals flew out, still high-quality Tier 4 origin crystals.

Lin Moyu was well-prepared, and the Skeleton Divine Generals reached out and grabbed the origin crystals.

"A good harvest!"

Lin Moyu was satisfied and continued searching for large lakes.

Regardless of whether there was an inheritance or not, these origin crystals alone were worth the price of admission.

Chapter 2512: I don't know how many people need to be killed to be enough.

Not long after killing the black dragon for the second time and obtaining the origin crystals, the stars in the sky brightened again.

And they brightened twice in succession, with an interval of only a few minutes.

The visible distance changed from four hundred meters to eight hundred meters, and then from eight hundred meters to sixteen hundred meters, doubling on the previous basis each time.

The one who benefited the most from such changes was naturally Lin Moyu.

The vision of the Skeleton Divine Generals increased accordingly, making exploration much more convenient.

The Origin Secret Realm was huge, surprisingly huge.

At the same time, the Origin Secret Realm was very monotonous; currently, besides the lakes that nurtured the black dragons, there was nothing else.

"Four have died!" Lin Moyu calculated in his heart.

It had only been one day since entering the Origin Secret Realm, and four had already died. Besides the one he killed himself, he didn't know how the other three had died.

Narrowing his eyes, Lin Moyu suddenly saw someone appear within his line of sight.

This person seemed to be walking aimlessly, stumbling around as if he were an elderly person, ready to fall at any moment.

At the same time Lin Moyu saw him, he also discovered Lin Moyu and slowly turned his head.

Lin Moyu was slightly startled; this person was shrouded in intense killing intent, which had materialized into black smoke, making it impossible to see his face.

Behind the black smoke, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly lit up.

In the next instant, that person suddenly sprinted toward Lin Moyu.

His running posture was bizarre; it was like a toddler who hadn't learned to walk yet trying to run, and he fell face-first after only two steps.

But he immediately scrambled up, continued running toward Lin Moyu, and then fell again.

Falling, climbing up—after doing this three or four times, his movements became increasingly fluid, and his running speed became faster and faster.

"Is he adapting?" Lin Moyu looked at the other party, narrowed his eyes slightly, and snapped his fingers.

No matter what you are, I'll fight you first.

The Skeleton Divine Generals appeared, blocking in front of Lin Moyu, and swung bone sword qi at the opponent.

A Rule World filled with bones flickered behind the Skeleton Divine Generals.

The bone sword qi wove into a net, and the opponent had no way to avoid it; he could only take it head-on.

He let out a roar, and the black killing intent surged violently, colliding with the bone sword qi.

Like hot oil meeting water, the pure white sword qi and the black killing intent exploded in mid-air, with both sides matching each other evenly.

The opponent, covered in killing intent, pushed forward against the sword qi.

The Skeleton Divine Generals swung their swords and charged, surrounding him almost instantly, their bone swords slashing down frantically like lightning.

The opponent's movements were a bit clumsy, and after being surrounded, he could only take a beating.

However, Lin Moyu noticed that his movements were becoming fluid.

His adaptation speed was fast, and his strength was becoming stronger and stronger.

The black killing intent, as if tangible, evolved into sharp swords and engaged the Skeleton Divine Generals in combat.

"Is this imitation?"

Lin Moyu discovered that the swords evolved from the black killing intent were identical to the bone swords in the hands of the Skeleton Divine Generals.

Even his attack method was very similar to that of the Skeleton Divine Generals.

Soon, the black killing intent not only evolved into bone swords but also evolved sword qi.

It was just that his sword qi was black, composed of pure killing intent, carrying an incomparably intense intent of slaughter, forming a sharp contrast with the sword qi of the Skeleton Divine Generals.

Amidst the siege of the Skeleton Divine Generals, the opponent went from being passively beaten to holding his own and moving with ease.

His speed of adaptation and learning was astonishingly fast; after only two minutes, he was already able to hold his own under the siege of ten Skeleton Divine Generals.

"I want to see what exactly you are!"

A hundred Skeleton Divine Generals appeared and joined the battle, once again tipping the scales of the fight.

Facing the siege of over a hundred Skeleton Divine Generals, the opponent finally couldn't hold on and was hacked into pieces by the sword qi.

The black killing intent collapsed and dissipated, and a broken corpse fell from the black gas, crashing to the ground.

"It's him!"

Lin Moyu recognized the opponent's identity; his name was Ye Xun, one of the twenty-eight Heavenly Venerables who had entered with him.

When the black killing intent dissipated, Lin Moyu had a familiar feeling, the same feeling he had when he killed the black dragon.

Looking at the wounds on Ye Xun's body, they didn't look like they were slashed by any sharp weapon, but rather gnawed by some kind of beast.

Through these details, Lin Moyu immediately analyzed the general process.

Ye Xun arrived near the lake and happened to run into the black dragon.

He was killed by the black dragon, and the black dragon possessed his body.

Originally, the black dragon only had the strength of a Peak Supreme, but its killing intent could affect those Heavenly Venerables with weak minds.

But after possessing him, the black dragon's strength reached the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and it was even stronger.

Lin Moyu felt that Ye Xun, during his lifetime, might not have been able to withstand the siege of ten Skeleton Divine Generals.

After being possessed, his strength greatly increased, and the opponent could also quickly learn others' fighting styles, using killing intent to evolve and imitate.

"If it's the case that the other two Heavenly Venerables were also killed by black dragons and then possessed…"

"With the black dragon utilizing the body of a Heavenly Venerable, plus the augmentation of the killing intent, the danger will increase significantly."

"Could it be that this is where the danger of the Origin Secret Realm lies?"

Just as he was pondering, the stars in the sky brightened a little more, and his line of sight expanded accordingly, reaching thirty-two hundred meters.

"Another Heavenly Venerable has died!"

Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes slightly; this time, the brightening of the stars was not caused by Ye Xun, but by the death of another Heavenly Venerable.

Looking at the stars in the sky getting brighter and brighter, Lin Moyu finally understood the rules of the Origin Secret Realm.

This was the Origin Secret Realm of Star Lord Jiaojiao, containing the inheritance of Star Lord Jiaojiao's Star Constellation Dao.

This star in the sky was the star constellation corresponding to Star Lord Jiaojiao's inheritance, which could also be called the Inheritance Star.

Star Lord Jiaojiao was in charge of slaughter; to activate the Star Constellation inheritance, one must sacrifice with blood.

They, who entered the Origin Secret Realm, were the best sacrifices.

"Truly in charge of slaughter; I don't know how many people need to be killed to be enough!"

Lin Moyu knew it was impossible to kill all thirty-six of them; some would always have to be left behind.

Otherwise, who would the inheritance be given to? It couldn't be given to the dead.

Lin Moyu had already understood the game rules of this Origin Secret Realm. Since that was the case, there was no need to rush; he would just watch the show slowly.

The Skeleton Divine Generals looted Ye Xun's corpse, taking his storage items. Everything Ye Xun had acquired in his life now belonged to Lin Moyu.

Then, the Skeleton Divine Generals scattered in all directions to search for lakes.

Ye Xun died here, so there should be a lake nearby.

Sure enough, in no time, they found a dried-up lake, and at the bottom of the lake, four origin crystals were glittering.

Harvesting four more high-quality Tier 4 origin crystals, a smile appeared on Lin Moyu's face.

With these twelve high-quality Tier 4 origin crystals alone, Lin Moyu's wealth already exceeded that of the vast majority of low-rank Heavenly Venerables.
