The Sword God was gone.
He was the only one left here, and it was rather boring to stay. So, he attached his consciousness to a clone and personally participated in killing monsters.
To Lin Yu, these monsters were so familiar that he had to slay them with his own hands.
He condensed a long sword in his hand and struck down with a sword. The sword energy descended like a silver river.
A streak of silver light flashed, and a giant beast was bisected.
"Ding, you have killed a Divine Python (Tier 8), +150000 upgrade points."
"Oh, the upgrade points are quite high!"
The divine creatures here provided significantly more upgrade points than those outside.
"Haha, this is truly my blessed land!" he laughed heartily.
Then he raised his sword and continued his slaughter.
The monsters in this area were generally not strong. Within a hundred miles, Lin Yu's clones dispersed, killing with glee.
Beast after beast fell under his blade, and his upgrade points steadily increased.
Suddenly!
As he was killing a Tier 9 fierce beast.
After the Tier 9 fierce beast died, a series of lights appeared above its corpse.
The lights converged, forming a rhombus-shaped red crystal.
"Divine Crystal!"
This must be the Divine Crystal the Sword God mentioned, which seemed to be used to comprehend the power of gods.
He grabbed the Divine Crystal.
The Divine Crystal felt slightly warm in his hand, as if fire was burning within.
However, how should he use the Divine Crystal?
Lin Yu was puzzled.
After some experimentation, he found that he could sense the information of the Divine Crystal by placing it against his brow.
"Fire God Crystal Fragment!"
This was the name of the Divine Crystal, which likely contained the power of fire laws.
He fiddled around some more and discovered that by projecting his mental power outwards and probing into the Divine Crystal, he could comprehend this power.
"Give it to the main body to comprehend!"
Manipulating his clone back, Lin Yu chiseled a hole in the stone wall.
The Divine Crystal was sent into the cave through the hole.
After obtaining the Divine Crystal, Lin Yu withdrew his consciousness and began a new task.
Comprehending the Divine Crystal!
Outside, his clones were killing monsters, and system notifications kept ringing in his ears. To avoid disturbing his comprehension of the Divine Crystal,
He simply turned off the system notifications and focused on comprehending it.
His mental power projected outwards, probing into the Divine Crystal.
Boom!
Instantly, his consciousness was filled with fire.
The flames were like an ocean, burning the heavens and earth. As far as his eyes could see, it was a sea of fire.
His wisp of mental power was like a leaf boat on the sea, adrift with the flow of the fire.
He frowned. In his perception, besides flames, there were only flames!
Where was the divinity?
Where was the power of fire laws?
Why couldn't he comprehend anything?
Lin Yu's heart sank. He refused to believe that he couldn't comprehend the mysteries of fire.
"Back then, I could easily comprehend various skills because of my clones!" he realized.
"As long as I have enough clones, I can speed up skill comprehension countless times. So, what about Divine Crystals?"
"I can also use clones to comprehend them."
Although clones had no souls, they possessed consciousness, albeit a very rudimentary and incomplete one.
However, it was sufficient to comprehend the profound mysteries of Divine Crystals.
He recalled one clone and created another beside him, handing the Fire God Crystal to this new clone.
"Work hard to comprehend the mysteries of the Divine Crystal," Lin Yu instructed.
The clone took the Divine Crystal, nodded, projected its mental power, and began the long process of comprehension.
While Lin Yu watched the diligent clone, he could not remain idle.
He simply sat on the ground and began to meditate and cultivate.
At this moment.
Outside the cave, on the vast, boundless Gobi Desert.
Monster after monster lay dead on the ground. The clones had cleared an area, and the smell of blood attracted more fierce beasts, which were then killed by Lin Yu's clones.
Thus, the killing continued.
Lin Yu's upgrade points began to increase wildly.
Unknowingly, he had accumulated three hundred million upgrade points.
At this time.
Several hundred miles away from this place.
This was an oasis, not large, only a kilometer in radius. In the center of the desert was a pool of water.
In this pool, a giant crocodile lay on its back, basking in the sun leisurely.
The crocodile was huge, about a hundred meters long.
Suddenly!
It opened its eyes and flipped over with a powerful movement.
Rumble!!!
Waves churned, creating thousands of ripples.
Suddenly, a blue light of power covered the sky, and the entire oasis was within its range.
"Roar!"
With a mighty roar, the power of light intensified.
Suddenly, something astonishing happened.
The oasis seemed to shrink into the pool, leaving only a pool of water several hundred meters in diameter.
A beam of light shone from the giant crocodile's abdomen, forming a long rope. The rope dropped and bound the pool.
It flew into the air and lifted the pool, as if it were carrying a basket with effortless ease.
It roared at the sky, looking towards the direction of the Gobi.
The aura of a new life form had appeared there. Instinct made it curious, making it want to go and see.
And so, a hundred-meter-long giant crocodile, carrying a pool of water several hundred meters in diameter, flew towards the Gobi.
Lin Yu's clones were still killing. After they had killed another batch of monsters, the sky suddenly darkened.
"Not good!"
"It's a demigod-level monster!"
Lin Yu was not surprised but delighted. He quickly murmured, "Combine!"
Boom!
The familiar light of combination appeared. The giant crocodile flying in the sky also showed a look of surprise.
It was already in the demigod realm. Although it still acted on instinct, the power of divinity affected it much less.
Therefore, it had developed some thinking ability.
Boom!
The white light dissipated, and two combined clones appeared on the Gobi.
Lin Yu chuckled, "You've come at the right time. One demigod is worth one hundred million upgrade points, which is equivalent to half a day of killing fierce beasts."
"Kill!"
With an order, the combined clones rushed towards the sky.
Zhu Rong waved his hand, and a fire dragon entered his grasp. He held it with both hands, like wielding a divine whip.
"Die!"
With a loud shout, the fire dragon whip, carrying scorching flames, tore through the air.
"Roar!"
The giant crocodile sensed the danger and roared in anger, opening its mouth to spew boundless seawater.
Instantly, the entire sky was enveloped by seawater.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, water continued to increase, like a sky ocean, covering the horizon.
"Kill!"
The fire dragon whip grew with the wind, becoming tens of thousands of meters long in the blink of an eye.
He softly commanded, "Fire, go!"
"Boom!"
Endless flames followed the fire dragon as it attacked.
The entire sky turned into a realm of fire, boundless and awe-inspiring.
Lin Yu also lamented, "The combined clones are so much stronger than before!"
"Perhaps now, a single combined clone can kill a demigod."
He smiled and shook his head. He was no longer the person he used to be.
Demigods had become his prey.
"Divine Bird, go too!" he commanded secretly.
The next moment, the watching Divine Bird, Chui Tian Zhi Yi, lightly moved its wings.
"Boundless Wind!"
"Boundless Sea!"
"Fall!"
