Chapter 1116

However!

The birth of this race cannot come at the cost of human lives.

There were tens of thousands of living beings present, with over a thousand humans among them.

Lin Moyu did not care about the life or death of other races; it was none of his business.

He was on a mission this time to save people.

If he hadn't seen them, that would be one thing, but now that he had, he could not ignore them.

Although he still did not understand how the Gold-eating Beast had developed intelligence, it no longer mattered.

What mattered now was how to save them.

The souls of these people all showed traces of purple, to varying degrees, indicating that the transformation had already begun.

Lin Moyu did not know how to stop the transformation and restore them to their original state.

He wondered if the Undead Law would be effective.

"At this point, I'll just have to treat a dead horse as if it were alive."

"At the very least, I cannot just stand by and watch."

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and the Golden Eagle God King carried him, transforming into a streak of golden light that shot away.

At this moment, the Golden Eagle God King activated his innate technique, reaching a speed of 200,000 kilometers per second in a short time—two-thirds the speed of light.

Just a few seconds later, Lin Moyu charged into the area where the various races were imprisoned.

Before the Gold-eating Beast could react, he took out the space-stabilizing bead.

The space-stabilizing bead activated with a soft hum.

The blue waves instantly froze, and the spherical space with a diameter of ten million kilometers became incredibly stable.

He had previously seen the Gold-eating Beast in its soul form and knew they had the ability to leap through the starry sky, utilizing the blue waves of shuo gold to achieve effects similar to the Law of Space.

This was their advantage, and catching them was difficult.

But with the space-stabilizing bead activated, the blue waves were instantly solidified, making it difficult for them to escape.

In truth, Lin Moyu did not have a hundred percent certainty, but he had to try.

There were over ten thousand Gold-eating Beasts nearby, including elite members, captains, and possibly even a hidden Gold-eating Beast King.

Lin Moyu dared not let his guard down; with a thought, his skeletons appeared.

A throne appeared in the starry sky—the skeleton throne.

The skeleton throne erupted with raging flames, its silver-white light illuminating the starry sky. The Skeleton King, draped in a crimson cloak, rose slowly from the throne, his body bathed in fire.

Immediately after, the skeletons rapidly fused, transforming into a massive number of Skeleton Divine Generals.

This time, Lin Moyu did not hold back; he wanted to end the battle quickly.

Since there were over ten thousand Gold-eating Beasts, he would deploy 100,000 Skeleton Divine Generals.

Both in number and strength, they formed an overwhelming force.

The Skeleton King appeared to deal with the potential Gold-eating Beast King.

After all, the Gold-eating Beast King was at least a Rank 3 God King at its weakest, and a Rank 4 God King at its strongest. The Skeleton Divine Generals were no match for it, so he had to use the Skeleton King.

The Skeleton Divine Generals charged out frantically, killing their way into the void.

The Gold-eating Beasts hidden within the blue light were instantly slaughtered in droves.

Their concealment methods were useless before the Skeleton Divine Generals; their Soul Fires were so distinct, so clear.

The palm-sized soul of the Gold-eating Beast showed shock, then terror in its eyes.

The Gold-eating Beasts were defeated too quickly; the enemy's numbers were too great.

Every single one of them had combat power comparable to a captain-level Gold-eating Beast; their army simply could not resist.

It glared viciously at Lin Moyu and let out a sharp shriek, seemingly ordering the Gold-eating Beasts to counterattack, while it leapt toward the void, wanting to escape.

But it did not vanish. The void seemed to hit a wall, and it was knocked back heavily.

It was like someone diving into water, only to realize after jumping that the surface had turned into a thick block of ice.

Lin Moyu's lips curled, "Want to escape? Impossible."

He pointed a finger, and red light filled the sky.

Fusion Technique: Time Curse!

Soul Burning, Soul Poison, Soul Curse—the three great soul techniques merged into one, significantly increasing their power.

The Time Curse specifically targeted the soul. The soul of this newly born Gold-eating Beast let out a scream on the spot, its tiny body quickly curling up and trembling.

Its escape had failed. Looking at Lin Moyu, then at the surrounding Gold-eating Beast swarm that was rapidly being defeated, a look of despair appeared in its eyes.

"Knowing despair, not bad, not bad."

Although there was no communication between the two, its eyes vividly conveyed some things.

It did not want to die, and at the same time, it was very afraid of death.

It looked at Lin Moyu, its lips slightly parted, as if it wanted to say something.

But Lin Moyu had no intention of asking it anything. Just as he had said before, the words of the living are not necessarily true.

He preferred to believe the words of the dead, and at the same time, Lin Moyu intended to use it for an experiment.

The soul of the small Gold-eating Beast—the original owner's body still had some remains that hadn't been fully eaten.

Lin Moyu pointed a finger, and a streak of Undying Flame landed on the remaining corpse.

Stellar-level Technique: Resurrection of the Dead.

The corpse rapidly regenerated, and then an irresistible suction force came, forcibly dragging the Gold-eating Beast's soul into the newly formed body.

"As expected."

Lin Moyu smiled, "Although the soul died, the connection between the soul and the body has not been completely severed."

"Under the technique, the body is resurrected, and the laws of the netherworld have found the soul that belongs to the original corpse."

Chapter 1209: Really Wanting to Create a New Race

Amidst its terror, the soul of the small Gold-eating Beast was pulled back into the original owner's body by some incredibly mysterious rule.

From body to soul, it had become a Revenant.

Lin Moyu was very certain through his connection with the Revenant.

The strange fellow before him, possessing a demon body and a Gold-eating Beast soul, was his own Revenant.

The Revenant prostrated itself before Lin Moyu, bowing its head, its body trembling.

This was a reaction caused by the soul's terror. Although it had become a Revenant, it clearly still retained a trace of consciousness belonging to the Gold-eating Beast.

However, none of that mattered. It was now a Revenant, a dead person, and that was enough.

The dead do not lie; they are more reliable than the living.

"Tell me everything you know." Lin Moyu issued the order.

After becoming a Revenant, there was no possibility of concealment.

Even if it meant death, as long as it was Lin Moyu's order, it would still speak.

Soon, through its account, Lin Moyu learned of some of the events that had transpired.

An Emperor had been born within the Gold-eating Beast swarm.

The Gold-Eater Beast Emperor had developed intelligence for some reason.

After developing intelligence, the Gold-Eater Beast Emperor found a way to make more Gold-eating Beasts develop intelligence.

The Gold-Eater Beast Emperor formulated a plan; it intended to create more Gold-eating Beasts with intelligence, and even establish a Gold-eating Beast race here.

The most important part of the plan was the need for enough cultivators.

Using the corpses of cultivators to create Gold-eating Beasts with intelligence.

The purple light Lin Moyu had previously seen in the souls of the various races was the soul of a Gold-eating Beast that had absorbed enough shuojin essence.

As long as it absorbed enough shuojin essence, it could cause the Gold-eating Beast's soul to mutate. During the mutation process, if it then devoured a cultivator's soul, it could develop intelligence.

Gold-eating Beasts with intelligence would exist in the form of a soul.

At the same time, their form of existence would be far superior to ordinary Gold-eating Beasts, and they could command ordinary Gold-eating Beasts.

Of course, this was not a long-term solution. Besides this, there was a second step to the plan: possessing a brand-new body.

This step had actually already succeeded. According to it, the Gold-Eater Beast Emperor already possessed a brand-new body, and it was very powerful.

It just didn't know how its Emperor had managed to do it.

As for these souls that had already been stained with purple, they were nine times out of ten beyond saving.

The two souls had actually merged into one; either it succeeded, sublimating into a soul-state Gold-eating Beast,

or it failed, resulting in the body exploding and death. There would be no third outcome.

Hearing this, Lin Moyu's heart sank slightly.

If he didn't know that the Revenant could not lie, he might have had to resort to interrogation.

"Is there really no other way?"

After pondering for a few breaths, Lin Moyu decided to try anyway.

He cast a streak of Undead Law, which drilled into the nearest human cultivator.

This human cultivator's soul had only been stained by the purple light by about one-tenth; it was a relatively mild case.

If even this one couldn't be saved, then there was no need to waste effort on the others.

The Undead Law transformed into the Power of Life and drilled into the other person's Soul World.

The Power of Life nourished the soul, and Lin Moyu could feel the other person's Soul Fire suddenly become vigorous.

But at the same time as the Soul Fire became vigorous, the purple light's erosion also seemed to accelerate a bit.

Both sides were strengthened, and the situation actually became even worse.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and the Power of Life instantly converted into the Power of Death.

The Power of Death began to grind away at the soul, grinding away the purple area within the soul.

The unconscious body began to tremble violently, as if electrocuted, shaking non-stop.

The Power of Death was like a grinding wheel, constantly polishing away at its soul.

Under the erosion of the Power of Death, the part of the soul occupied by the purple light quickly rotted away, until the purple light completely disappeared and the soul regained its purity.

The soul was damaged…

This was inevitable.

Having a piece of the soul missing was an unimaginable disaster for any cultivator.

Once the soul suffered severe damage, it was very difficult to recover.

However, for Lin Moyu, as long as it was not too severe a soul injury, the Power of Life could heal it.

After grinding away the Gold-eating Beast's soul, the Power of Death converted back into the Power of Life, nourishing the soul like a sweet rain.

Under the effect of the Power of Life, the soul gradually began to recover.

Although still unconscious, the body's trembling had stopped.

Lin Moyu let out a sigh of relief; his Undead Law was truly miraculous.

Then, without further hesitation, he multi-tasked and began to save people.

He would only save the human cultivators; as for the people of other races, it was none of his concern.

The battle of the Skeleton Divine Generals was still continuing; since there was no Gold-eating Beast King present, the Skeleton King did not need to take action.

Lin Moyu knew that the battle would not last long.
