Chapter 1996: 1996 **Chapter 1996: Karma Attack, Exploding Luck** The battleship door opened, and Lin Moyu stepped outside. Yu Qingrou also flew out, standing side by side with Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu saw thin lines flying through the void. These lines seemed both real and unreal, faintly visible—they were karma lines. Karma lines generally do not appear; Lin Moyu had only seen them a few times. Only when karma is particularly strong or triggered by a karma treasure do karma lines become visible. "So it’s a karma-type treasure!" Lin Moyu smiled slightly and said to Yu Qingrou, "You should step back; leave this to me." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦 Yu Qingrou clearly didn’t want to retreat, "I’ll help you!" Lin Moyu shook his head, "This is a karma attack, targeting only me. You can’t help." Seeing Yu Qingrou’s worried expression, Lin Moyu laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, this is far from enough to kill me." "Forming karma with me, your clan leader will regret it!" "Step back; this karma has nothing to do with you. Don’t get involved." Lin Moyu spoke decisively, and Yu Qingrou had no choice but to step back. "Be very careful!" Yu Qingrou urged, stepping aside and watching Lin Moyu with some tension. Several karma lines in the void wrapped around Lin Moyu. It was his first time facing a karma-type treasure, and he was curious. He knew he didn’t need to dodge. Karma treasure attacks ignore spatial distance; he couldn’t avoid it. Even if he hid in a Saint Sovereign’s rule world, he would still be attacked. Facing a karma attack, there was only one way: to withstand it. But there were specific methods to withstand it. "Exploding Luck Technique!" Lin Moyu detonated his luck, transforming it into a dragon, accompanied by dragon roars. After these days of rest, his luck had returned to its peak, fully replenished. "Using my luck to counter the karma attack, I want to see what’s happening on your side!" Lin Moyu murmured. He understood karma, knowing it was bidirectional. There is cause and effect. The Starry Sky Fishmen’s attack was the cause; his being attacked was the effect. Similarly, his counterattack was the cause, and the Starry Sky Fishmen’s side would be the effect. Karma is like worldly affairs, with no absolutes. This concept is too profound; only those who understand it can grasp it. To others, it sounds like gibberish. His soul moved, first contacting the karma lines. Lin Moyu’s body trembled. The karma lines contained immense power, instantly shattering his soul force. The karma lines fell on Lin Moyu, causing his body to tremble, and purple-gold light burst forth, resisting the karma lines. The karma lines also fell on his soul world, which had taken the form of a rule world, constantly rumbling. The World Tree extended countless branches, colliding with the karma lines. The branches of the World Tree broke, but more branches grew to strike the karma lines. The World Tree’s vitality was immense, continuously producing new branches to join the battle. However, the karma lines remained strong, still crushing the soul world, trying to shatter it. From the karma lines, Lin Moyu felt powerful luck and terrifying rule power. "So this is a karma attack, guided by karma, driven by luck, with dual rules working together..." "The technique of luck requires rule power to drive it, and this karma treasure is the same." Lin Moyu’s mind was clear, instantly understanding his situation. The Starry Sky Fishmen gathered their race’s luck to attack him. Its effect was similar to the Exploding Luck Technique. His individual luck couldn’t compare to the luck of an entire race. Luck is the sublimation and aggregation of fortune, stronger in both quality and quantity than personal luck. Even if he broke through the limit, transforming his luck into a dragon, it would only be slightly better, still unable to resist. Lin Moyu also understood why the treasure would lose its effect against peak Divine Sovereigns. In fact, it didn’t need to be a peak Divine Sovereign; the treasure’s effect would be greatly reduced against high-level Divine Sovereigns. High-level Divine Sovereigns generate rule power, which is the basis for using luck. The karma in the void connects high-level Divine Sovereigns with the human race’s luck. To kill a high-level Divine Sovereign, one would need to counter the human race’s luck. The higher the realm, the deeper the connection, and the more luck one receives from the human race, rendering the karma treasure ineffective. "In that case!" Lin Moyu knew how to respond, and it was simpler than he had imagined. A peculiar aura rose from him, and his realm began to rise rapidly. Origin Technique: Gathering Power! Lin Moyu’s realm reached the sixth stage of Divine Sovereign in the blink of an eye, then broke through the barrier like a bubble. In an instant, Lin Moyu transformed from a second-stage Divine Sovereign to a high-level Divine Sovereign. A trace of rule power was born, and a mysterious force descended upon him. "Human race’s luck!" Lin Moyu’s voice was low, tinged with excitement. He had never felt the human race’s luck before, but now, after understanding the virtual and real, he could sense it. Although he couldn’t use the luck yet, as long as he had the human race’s luck, it would naturally protect him, countering the luck attack... With the human race’s luck descending, Lin Moyu’s pressure was greatly reduced. The karma attack’s effect weakened significantly, and Lin Moyu knew he was safe. But this was just the beginning; his realm continued to rise, growing stronger. Eighth-stage Divine Sovereign, receiving even more human race’s luck. Ninth-stage Divine Sovereign! A vast amount of human race’s luck poured down, actively blocking the karma lines for Lin Moyu. The karma attack failed, and Lin Moyu sneered, "It’s rude not to reciprocate!" His prepared soul force surged out, wrapped in human race’s luck, and fell on the karma lines. In an instant, Lin Moyu sensed the situation on the other end of the karma lines. The Starry Sky Fishmen’s clan leader, Yu Chimei, was holding a coral-like treasure, casting a spell with all his might. But he didn’t seem to be having much success. How could he succeed? Lin Moyu had completely blocked the karma attack. It was clear that Yu Chimei was merely manipulating the treasure, knowing nothing about the law of karma or the concept of luck. He was truly ignorant of the principles. "Exploding Luck Technique!" Following the karma lines, Lin Moyu launched an attack. His attack had nothing to do with the race; it was a luck attack, one-on-one. Yu Chimei’s personal luck was greatly weakened. He felt uncomfortable but couldn’t pinpoint why. As the clan leader, Yu Chimei’s personal luck was excellent, reaching 82, a red color. Under Lin Moyu’s full weakening, Yu Chimei’s luck quickly halved. His luck turned from red to green, dropping from 82 to 41. Lin Moyu knew this was the limit; he couldn’t weaken it further. After all, Yu Chimei was a living being, not a stone tablet, fundamentally different. "Explode!" With a light shout in his heart, Lin Moyu detonated both their luck. Using luck to attack, Lin Moyu’s luck was in a dragon state, breaking the limit. Yu Chimei’s luck was only 41, a significant difference. While casting the spell, Yu Chimei suddenly trembled, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which exploded, collapsing his room. He had no idea how he was injured or why. The two grand elders beside him were also shocked, not understanding what had happened. At this moment, Yu Chimei heard a voice, "Clan Leader Yu, Lin has noted this matter. Please accept this small token of my appreciation. For Qingrou’s sake, let’s end it here. If it happens again, Lin Moyu will repay it doubly."
