**Chapter 1580: The Difference Between Laws and Rules**
The sea urchin monster died without emitting a golden beam or releasing golden light spots. Its corpse disappeared silently, leaving behind a broken rune fragnt in the void.
For safety, Lin Moyu did not directly take the rune fragnt but instead sent a skeletal god general to retrieve it. The skeletal god general touched the rune, and nothing happened. After waiting for a while and confirming there were no issues, the skeletal god general brought the rune fragnt back.
In the current situation, caution was necessary. A single mistake could lead to death and the end of his path. No one knew how the rules had been altered. Facing the rules, Lin Moyu felt that his power level was too low to resist.
He took the rune fragnt and carefully observed it. The rune on the stone pillar was just a corner of a complete rune. The fragnt before him was even smaller, just a tiny piece. Its essence was the sa as the rune fragnts on the poison bees and fish monsters, but it was more complete and powerful.
The different levels of rune fragnts had entirely different effects and powers. The poison bees contained the fewest rune fragnts, making them the weakest. The fish monsters in the second stage were stronger, and the golden water masses were even more powerful. Now, the sea urchin monster in the third stage was even stronger.
The changes in the runes not only increased their power but also produced strange effects. For example, the golden rain in the second stage could turn people into gold, and the sea urchin monster’s nearly infinite counterattacks were also due to the runes. Lin Moyu didn’t know what changes the next runes would bring, so he had to be increasingly cautious.
The rune fragnt was covered in cracks and already broken. It had lost its divine essence, but Lin Moyu could still sense its uniqueness. It looked like a broken jade token filled with impurities, but it was actually ford by the power of rules. This alone was enough to show its extraordinary nature. From a material perspective, it had reached the level of the Other Shore realm.
In the hands of others, it would be useless, just a piece of high-level waste. But in Lin Moyu’s hands...
"Maybe I can use it to summon an elental lich!"
"Let’s try!"
Lin Moyu’s eyes sparkled with an idea. He thought there would be no loss even if he failed. He held the rune in his palm and attempted to summon an elental lich. The spell was successfully cast without any issues.
"There’s hope!"
Lin Moyu was delighted, realizing he might summon an elental lich of the Other Shore realm. Even if it wasn’t of the Other Shore realm, it would at least be a high-level God Sovereign, greatly enhancing his combat power.
The rune seed to be influenced by so power, and a hidden trace of divine essence was activated. The rune revived, illuminating the void. Lin Moyu’s joy lasted less than two seconds. With a crisp crack, the rune completely shattered. The summoning failed, and the elental lich did not appear.
"Is it because the rune is too broken, or is it due to the spell itself?" Lin Moyu pondered, backtracking from the feedback he received. He recalled every detail of the elental lich spell, from when it was a skill to its current form. He concluded that the failure was more than 70% likely due to the spell.
When the elental lich was still a skill, using it to summon a lich beyond the skill level resulted in an extrely unstable lich that would self-destruct upon summoning. Lin Moyu had used this characteristic to turn the elental lich into a weapon, his trump card, saving himself from life-threatening situations multiple tis.
Now, it seed he encountered the sa problem. The rune’s level was too high, while his level was too low. The elental lich spell still used the power of laws, not reaching the level of rules. Although there was only a one-word difference between laws and rules, the gap was imnse. Using a rule-level rune as material naturally led to failure. Even if it succeeded, the lich would likely lose control and self-destruct.
Lin Moyu thought deeply, recalling the events in the Tulu world. He realized that his spells were not omnipotent and had many limitations. Exceeding the spell’s capability would lead to loss of control and undesirable outcos. Therefore, the failure to summon the elental lich might not be a bad thing. If it had succeeded, it could have been a bigger problem.
Clearing his mind and dispelling disappointnt, Lin Moyu began to examine the space. The third stage space appeared desolate and void, with nothing in it. The skeletal god generals, glowing white, were the only light source. Lin Moyu cast undead flas, turning them into torches to illuminate the surroundings. He then sent the skeletal god generals to explore in all directions.
The undead flas drew long lines of fire in the silent void. Within seconds, a skeletal god general was suddenly attacked. The attack was abrupt, and the flying skeletal god general was struck by a powerful force, losing its direction. Its white bones shattered, nearly disintegrating with a single blow. The attack was purely physical and extrely powerful.
The Legion Ruler healed the skeletal god general from a distance. Lin Moyu quickly connected to the skeletal god general’s vision to find the attacker. In the void, a small God Sovereign-level soul fire burned brightly. In the gray and white world, Lin Moyu saw its form. It was a giant poison bee, over a hundred ters long, with a thick proboscis. The proboscis wasn’t sharp, but at its tip was a shining rune fragnt.
Seeing the giant poison bee, Lin Moyu instinctively knew it was the Poison Bee King. "So the Poison Bee King is at the small God Sovereign level, and with the rule-level rune fragnt, even ordinary small God Sovereigns would have to flee."
While Lin Moyu observed the Poison Bee King, its rune fragnt suddenly lit up. Without any visible movent, the skeletal god general was struck again. The newly healed bones shattered instantly, suffering even more damage than before. This attack was stronger than the previous one. The skeletal god general was sent flying, and the Poison Bee King appeared in its original position. The speed was so fast it seed like teleportation.
"So fast!"
Lin Moyu’s eyes narrowed. He was connected to the skeletal god general’s vision and personally experienced the Poison Bee King’s attack. Its speed far exceeded that of a small God Sovereign, even surpassing ordinary God Sovereigns. Encountering the Poison Bee King, one would need to use an escape talisman imdiately; otherwise, there might not even be a chance to flee.
The Poison Bee King didn’t give the skeletal god general a chance to recover. It twisted its body and attacked again. The skeletal god general couldn’t react in ti and was struck, its body shattering with a loud bang, leaving only its head intact. The soul fire in the head still burned strongly.
Lin Moyu wanted to recall the skeletal god general, but it failed. The skeletal god general was locked onto by the Poison Bee King and couldn’t be retrieved. The Poison Bee King attacked the remaining head fiercely. White sword energy flew from afar, but the Poison Bee King didn’t dodge. It used the rune fragnt to collide with the sword energy.
