Chapter 2041

Cheng Hongguang suddenly launched an attack, dealing it a Fatal Strike.

The giant python, already heavily injured and trapped in an illusion, was killed instantly by Cheng Hongguang's sudden attack. Cheng Hongguang then took out the Containment Ancient Talisman that Lin Moyu had prepared in advance and stored the corpse.

From the sudden strike to storing the corpse, the entire process was done in one smooth motion, taking less than two seconds.

After finishing, Cheng Hongguang immediately changed his position and moved far away.

The Star Charm Lich continued to use the grass for cover, sneaking back to the battlefield, prepared to repeat the same tactic.

The second target was an osprey that was also heavily injured.

An illusion appeared before the osprey; in its vision, a heavily injured giant python appeared, fleeing, and it immediately gave chase.

In the end, it was slain by Cheng Hongguang, who was hiding on the side.

Time and again, Lin Moyu's movements became more and more proficient, and the number of corpses in his possession grew.

In less than an hour, he already had five corpses in his possession: three giant pythons and two ospreys.

However, Lin Moyu knew when to quit and did not continue.

With five corpses in hand, he no longer needed to fear the average High-level Heavenly Venerable.

He could see that the great battle was nearing its end and estimated it would be over before long.

Both sides would inevitably end in a draw. He knew very well that similar battles must have occurred many times before and would not lead to any results.

Dong!

A strange sound rang out, like the clinking of jade. It was not loud, but it instantly spread across the entire grassland.

The sound carried a strange power that made Lin Moyu's soul pulse along with it.

When the sound rang out, the battle between the ospreys and the giant pythons suddenly stopped.

It stopped very abruptly, without any warning.

The giant pythons retreated into the grassland, burrowing underneath and disappearing.

The ospreys also quickly returned, leaving completely in the blink of an eye.

Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment. "This sound is strange!"

Dong!

Immediately after, the tapping sound rang out again, and Lin Moyu's soul pulsed involuntarily once more.

Lin Moyu suddenly felt that after hearing the sound, his soul seemed to have grown slightly stronger.

The magical tapping sound actually had the effect of strengthening the soul.

Lin Moyu couldn't help but want to listen for a while longer; his soul hadn't strengthened in a long time.

His soul had always been superior to his cultivation realm, but until now, his soul and cultivation realm had become the same, both at the Peak Supreme level.

But now, his soul had grown stronger again, seemingly about to surpass his cultivation realm once more.

The tapping sound continued to ring out with a strange rhythm, and Lin Moyu listened with enjoyment.

"What is this?"

The Eye of the Undead remained active, and he suddenly saw some unusual circumstances.

Beneath the grassland, Soul Fire appeared one after another.

These Soul Fires were very weak, like newborn infants; in terms of strength, they weren't even at the Super God Realm.

However, after the Soul Fire appeared, accompanied by the tapping sound, they began to strengthen rapidly. After just ten sounds, their souls broke through the Super God Realm.

Then, these Soul Fires continued to strengthen, becoming stronger and stronger.

Not only that, the grass on the plains that had been destroyed was also growing wildly at this moment, and the grassland quickly returned to its original state.

The tapping sound became more intense, and the Soul Fire grew stronger.

Chapter 2451: The Cause and Effect of the Heavenly Dao is Fair

Lin Moyu's soul was also strengthening amidst the tapping sound, and he felt that his soul might be able to break through. "I am about to break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm. Once my soul reaches the Heavenly Venerable level, it will pave the way for me to reach the Heavenly Venerable realm."

Such a breakthrough was coming far too easily.

"I didn't expect that I would break through here."

"But… why do I feel that something is wrong!"

Vaguely, Lin Moyu felt that something was amiss; this kind of breakthrough came too easily. From Supreme to Heavenly Venerable was a major hurdle, and those who could overcome this barrier were one in a thousand…

In the past, there were so many Supremes in the Great World, but Heavenly Venerates were few and far between.

He felt that although his soul had become powerful, some part of it seemed to be disappearing. However, the World Tree and the ten-colored dragon soul crystal showed no reaction, seemingly unaware of the danger.

"Something is wrong, something is wrong!"

"There must be something wrong somewhere!"

Lin Moyu forced himself to calm down, and various scenarios flashed through his mind instantly.

He thought of everything since entering this special space. Lightning and thunder flashed within his soul, and countless thunderbolts appeared and vanished according to Lin Moyu's will.

Crack!

Lin Moyu instantly sobered up. "No, this thing is harmful!"

He realized where the danger lay. Although all the creatures here were powerful, none of them had intelligence; at most, they only had some instincts.

Lin Moyu's gaze was calm. "I know the reason now. Although these sounds can make the soul stronger, they erase intelligence, leaving only instinct."

"Trading one's foundation for realm, drinking poison to quench thirst, putting the cart before the horse!"

Lin Moyu suddenly raised his head and looked at the peak of the high mountain.

Pushing his vision to the limit, Lin Moyu vaguely saw a huge phantom atop the mountain peak. The sound was coming from this phantom!

In his perception, the tapping sounds accumulated together, like a hand constantly raising the height of his soul.

The tapping sounds continued to accumulate, and the power of this hand grew stronger, pushing the soul upward.

While pushing the soul higher, it was also affecting his wisdom.

"No matter what you are, get out of my head!"

Lin Moyu let out a roar, his soul surging wildly, and the World Tree and the ten-colored dragon soul crystal erupted along with it.

The ten-colored dragon soul crystal spewed out Dragon Breath, purifying his soul.

Wisps of strange substances were expelled from his soul, and Lin Moyu felt his soul realm, which had just been elevated, rapidly drop and return to its original state.

As his realm dropped, his soul became purer, and his thinking became clearer and clearer.

The greatest function of the ten-colored dragon soul crystal was to purify the soul.

With the dragon soul crystal, although it could not increase his cultivation realm, it could make his soul pure.

Lin Moyu knew very well that the purer the soul, the more beneficial it was for future development.

Especially after the Saint Venerable Realm, having a dragon soul crystal made a huge difference.

However, it was not easy to obtain a dragon soul crystal; even among the Dragon race, not every divine dragon could create one.

The dragon soul crystal had great utility, especially since what he possessed was the unprecedented ten-colored dragon soul crystal.

At this moment, he finally experienced the wonder of the dragon soul crystal firsthand.

His soul was purified in the Dragon Breath, without a trace of impurity, even purer than before.

His thoughts were clearer than ever, and Lin Moyu understood the cause and effect.

He knew why the creatures here were all incredibly powerful yet lacked intelligence; their strength came from the tapping sound, and their intelligence was lost because of it.

There is gain only with loss; this is the Dao.

The Dao is fair and follows cause and effect; it is impossible to only gain without paying a price.

Lin Moyu gave up his gains and stopped paying the price.

The tapping sound continued, and Lin Moyu chose to enter the mountain at this moment.

He rushed toward the mountain peak without any hesitation.

He discovered that while the tapping sound continued, all the creatures would fall into a strange state.

This state was like deep sleep, and they would no longer pay attention to outside matters.

Lin Moyu also took this opportunity to dash toward the mountain peak.

The Eye of the Undead was activated, and he avoided the creatures one by one. Although these guys wouldn't attack him now, it was better not to touch them if he could avoid it—better safe than sorry.

Lin Moyu also discovered that several Soul Fires were moving rapidly; each Soul Fire represented a Heavenly Venerable.

"It seems I am not the only smart person!"

Lin Moyu thought to himself. Although he didn't know who those people were, they must be like him, people who came holding a boundary sea token.

Lin Moyu never considered himself one of a kind; he believed there were many people as smart as him.

He climbed toward the peak of the mountain forest. His speed was fast, but some were faster.

While Lin Moyu was still halfway up the mountain, dragon roars suddenly rang out from the summit.

The dragon roars contained anger; clearly, the divine dragons of the Dragon race were very agitated at this moment.

Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat. "The Dragon race is fighting!"

"Who is the Dragon race fighting?"

Those who entered here were none other than the Human race, Demon race, Insect race, and the Hundred Herbs Alliance faction.

In the face of profit, anything was possible.

Immediately after, a sharp and unpleasant sound rang out from the summit. Lin Moyu immediately knew who the Dragon race's opponent was—it was the Insect race.

The Dragon race and the Insect race had erupted into a great battle at the summit. The situation was extremely intense; dragon roars exploded repeatedly, and countless huge rocks rolled down from the summit.

He didn't know how many big trees were crushed by the falling rocks. If it were normal times, this would have long since aroused the hostility of the creatures in the forest.

But now, the tapping sounds continued without stop, and these creatures were all in a subtle state and did not seem to be waking up.

The most critical point was that the crushed flowers, plants, and trees were also rapidly recovering amidst the tapping sound.

Lin Moyu quickened his climb. He didn't know when the tapping sound would stop, and he wanted to reach the summit as quickly as possible before it did.

As he got closer to the summit, the tapping sounds became more dense, pounding on Lin Moyu's body like a physical force, creating an inexplicable pressure.

"I am not the only one climbing the mountain; there are other Heavenly Venerables."

"The Dragon race and the Insect race have already reached the summit. They are fighting each other; besides their previous deep hatred, there is likely another reason."

"The tapping sound comes from the summit. I guess these people can also guess that there is an extraordinary treasure on the summit, and they all want to obtain it."

"If one can master this treasure and use it in one's own world, then one will have a huge advantage in the World Dispute."

Lin Moyu analyzed quickly; just from his initial observations, he analyzed the function of this treasure.

He believed that those Heavenly Venerables could also analyze the function of the treasure, so they also wanted to obtain it.

Of course, whether they could obtain it in the end would depend on their strength.

When Lin Moyu reached two-thirds of the way, the tapping sound began to slow down. "It's about to stop!"

Lin Moyu looked at the summit. Once the tapping sound stopped, the creatures in the mountain forest would all wake up, and by then, he would be deeply surrounded.

He saw that some of the other Heavenly Venerables also began to accelerate, obviously realizing this point as well.

However, this space had too many restrictions, and it was not easy to increase speed.

Some even used secret techniques to increase their speed.

Lin Moyu moved his consciousness, and the Wings of the Undead spread out, carrying Lin Moyu as he flew close to the ground, speeding toward the summit.

The Heavenly Venerables were all using their own methods to speed up their climb.

The tapping sound became slower and slower, the sound became lighter and lighter, and the range of influence shrank rapidly.

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

A Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate who had fallen behind was suddenly attacked, and a Soul Fire was extinguished on the spot.

Chapter 2452: Lin Moyu the Flatterer

Hearing the scream, Lin Moyu's expression changed, his Wings of the Undead vibrated rapidly, and his speed increased once more.
