Chapter 2087

Lian Cheng and Miao Wen swallowed their saliva; Lin Moyu's fate seemed to foreshadow their own future.

They exchanged glances, as if to say, "Should we just give up?"

At this moment, another wave of killing intent swept over, even more intense than before.

Lian Cheng and Miao Wen groaned simultaneously, their Sin Fire flickering, almost extinguished by the killing intent.

The two dared not hesitate and shouted in unison, "I give up!"

The altar shot out two beams of light that pierced through the killing intent and landed on them, causing them to disappear immediately.

Each beam of light carried an origin crystal; this was the reward granted to them.

Although they were eliminated, the black dragon kept its word, and the rewards were still given.

Gu Nianshui breathed a sigh of relief; under the protection of her precious garment, she could still withstand the killing intent.

There were ten origin crystals on the precious garment, and five were now lit; this garment had not yet displayed its full power.

"How truly weak!"

Gu Nianshui felt a bit smug; these Heavenly Venerates couldn't even compare to her precious garment.

At this moment, she didn't even consider that she was merely relying on external objects.

It wasn't that her own strength was so great, but simply because her background was better than others.

There was no helping it; having a good background was sometimes a form of strength, and being born well was a skilled craft.

After waiting for a moment, Gu Nianshui felt something was strange.

The killing intent was still surging in continuously, and the next, even more intense wave was already gathering.

"Shouldn't it be over by now?"

"I'm the only one left now, why hasn't it ended yet!"

Gu Nianshui thought to herself and opened her mouth to ask, "Senior, those two were my puppets. Actually, I am the only one left now; I should have won this trial."

The large dragon on the altar replied with mockery, "Who said you are the only one left!"

Gu Nianshui's expression changed, and she looked sharply toward where Lin Moyu was located, seeing only a mist-like mass of killing intent, unable to see Lin Moyu.

The large dragon continued, "Although your magical treasure is powerful and your fortune is strong, his strength is far superior to yours."

"I see that if things continue like this, the final victor will be him, not you!"

Gu Nianshui's face changed drastically, and she called out to Lin Moyu, "Senior Lin, are you still there?"

"I am here!" Lin Moyu's voice rang out, the mist rolled away, and Lin Moyu walked out from within.

The killing intent continuously landed on him, enveloping his entire body, yet Lin Moyu accepted it calmly.

It was as if no matter how strong the killing intent was, it had no effect on him.

Gu Nianshui stared in a daze; in this state, Lin Moyu simply didn't look human.

For the first time, she truly sensed how terrifying Lin Moyu was, and her confidence began to waver.

She began to doubt whether her magical treasures could kill Lin Moyu.

Gu Nianshui's spiritual sense was also very powerful, and she trusted her intuition, so she asked cautiously, "Senior Lin, are you a Dao Venerate?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "Naturally, I am not!"

Gu Nianshui asked, "But why are you not afraid of the killing intent?"

The large dragon on the altar also asked at the same time, "I also want to know, why are you not afraid of the killing intent!"

It knew very well that the strength of the killing intent at this moment would be difficult even for a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate to withstand.

Among Low-stage Heavenly Venerates, those who could resist such intense killing intent were either those with incredibly firm will, those possessing powerful secret techniques, or those like Gu Nianshui who possessed powerful magical treasures.

Those with a firm will are the cream of the crop.

Those who possess powerful secret techniques or magical treasures have great fortune and powerful backgrounds.

Yet Lin Moyu didn't seem to fit any of these categories.

He wasn't resisting the killing intent at all; he let the killing intent invade him, yet he showed no reaction whatsoever.

He looked more like a wooden man, a wooden man without a mind or soul.

Lin Moyu shook his head, "It's not that I'm not afraid; it's just that this killing intent is too weak!"

Gu Nianshui froze on the spot; she had considered various possibilities, thinking that perhaps Lin Moyu possessed some secret technique or magical treasure she didn't know about.

But she never imagined that Lin Moyu would say this killing intent was too weak.

Gu Nianshui's mouth twitched, "Senior Lin, please stop joking. This is the killing intent of Star Lord Jiaojiao."

"Star Lord Jiaojiao presides over slaughter; every time he appears, he brings endless carnage. The strength of his killing intent is such that few of the other twenty-seven Star Lords can compare to it."

Lin Moyu said, "But it really is too weak!"

The large dragon on the altar was furious, "Boy, do you know what you are saying? The Star Lord slaughtered the world, his killing intent is unmatched, accumulated generation after generation. Who dares to claim they can surpass the Star Lord in killing intent?"

"You actually dare to say the Star Lord's killing intent is weak. Have you ever seen anyone whose killing intent is stronger than his?"

Gu Nianshui also chimed in, "I have seen in the Holy Land's records that Star Lord Jiaojiao's killing intent is indeed top-tier."

Lin Moyu said, "Star Lord Jiaojiao's killing intent is indeed very strong, but to me, it is still too weak."

The large dragon snorted, "Do you mean that your killing intent is stronger than the Star Lord's killing intent?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "I suppose so."

The large dragon laughed in anger, "You, a mere Heavenly Venerate, actually dare to say your killing intent is stronger than the Star Lord's. What a braggart!"

"Then let me show you just how strong the Star Lord's killing intent is!"

Boom! Another, even more intense wave of killing intent descended and landed on the two of them.

The light on Gu Nianshui's precious garment almost shattered, scaring her until her face turned pale.

Fortunately, two more origin crystals on the belt lit up in succession; seven origin crystals were shining brightly, which managed to block the killing intent again.

Ten origin crystals, and now seven were lit. Although the last three were stronger than the previous ones, Gu Nianshui knew that if the killing intent continued to increase, she wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

The large dragon yelled crazily, "How is it? Do you know fear now? The current killing intent is such that even a High-level Heavenly Venerable might not be able to withstand it."

Lin Moyu stood within the killing intent, his voice calm and ripple-free, "Still too weak!"

Gu Nianshui was completely stunned; she really wanted to ask, "Senior Lin, are you made of killing intent?"

The large dragon roared, "I'll show you for being stubborn!"

Boom! The killing intent increased again.

The light of Gu Nianshui's precious garment almost shattered again; she let out a strange cry, her face turning even paler.

Fortunately, the eighth origin crystal lit up in time, saving her life once again.

She had grievances she couldn't voice; the large dragon had locked horns with Lin Moyu, but no matter how she looked at it, she seemed to be the one about to become the sacrificial lamb.

She really wanted to shout, "Two seniors, please stop playing around and let's just get on with the inheritance properly."

She was determined to obtain the inheritance before, but now she was wondering if she could just save her own life first.

The large dragon yelled, "How about this time?"

Lin Moyu sighed, "Still too weak!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! You must have some secret technique!"

The large dragon screamed frantically; the current killing intent was terrifyingly strong. It could be said that among High-level Heavenly Venerables, those who could withstand it were extremely rare.

Lin Moyu said, "I would also like to have a secret technique, but I don't know any. I have a body full of killing intent but cannot manipulate it."

"To be honest, I am also quite interested in Star Lord Jiaojiao's inheritance."

Gu Nianshui felt terrible, and she said with a trembling voice, "Senior Lin, please don't scare me."

Lin Moyu smiled, "I'm not scaring you; I'm just speaking the truth. Moreover, I have sworn an oath that I will not actively compete with you for the Star Lord's inheritance."

"What I said just now wasn't quite right. Actually, I am not interested in Star Lord Jiaojiao's inheritance; what I am interested in is the method Star Lord Jiaojiao used to manipulate killing intent."

Gu Nianshui's eyes rolled, "How about this? If I can obtain Star Lord Jiaojiao's inheritance, I will tell you the method for manipulating killing intent contained within. Also, all the treasures in this Origin Secret Realm will be given to you."

Chapter 2518 – I am a Person Who Values Promises

Lin Moyu looked at Gu Nianshui with great interest; he had seen all the changes in Gu Nianshui from the very beginning to now.

He watched with his own eyes as she went from an extremely arrogant yet polite young scion of a Holy Land, a young genius who seemed competitive but actually had many thoughts in her heart and wanted to put on a show.

She gradually became who she is now, having to sincerely seek peace, and even engage in a gamble.

Lin Moyu naturally understood what Gu Nianshui meant; Gu Nianshui felt she couldn't compete with him, and even a soul oath couldn't bind him, so she wanted to use another method to obtain the inheritance.

At the same time, Gu Nianshui also expressed her intention: she only wanted the inheritance and nothing else.

Lin Moyu smiled half-heartedly, "How are you so sure I'm not just boasting? Perhaps if the killing intent were a little stronger, I wouldn't be able to hold on!"

Gu Nianshui shook her head, "I trust my spiritual sense; Senior Lin's strength is unfathomable, and I do not want to gamble."

Lin Moyu asked again, "Except for the inheritance, everything else goes to me, even the method of manipulating killing intent within the inheritance goes to me. Are you willing?"

Gu Nianshui said, "There is nothing to be unwilling about; I think paying this price is very worth it."

Lin Moyu smiled, "I also think it's very worth it, but I have one request."

Gu Nianshui said without hesitation, "Senior, please speak."

Lin Moyu said, "You must swear a soul oath that after leaving the Secret Realm, if you, your grandfather, or anyone from Hanshui Holy Land comes to cause me trouble, you will die and your Dao will vanish."

"Of course, you can also take a gamble and see if the soul oath will backlash if I obtain the inheritance, whether your grandfather can kill me outside, and even if he kills me, whether the Star Lord's inheritance will still be there."

Gu Nianshui did not hesitate much and immediately swore the soul oath.

However, she was also cautious and added a time limit to her soul oath: a time limit of ten years.

After ten years, this oath would automatically expire.

If there were no time limit, Lin Moyu could provoke Hanshui Holy Land at will in the future, while Hanshui Holy Land would not be able to provoke Lin Moyu, otherwise she would die.

Soul oaths are very miraculous; a Heavenly Venerate's soul oath reaches directly to the Great Dao and is very effective.

After Gu Nianshui swore the oath, she immediately asked, "Senior Lin, do you think this is acceptable?"

Lin Moyu smiled, "Not bad. Since that is the case, the inheritance belongs to you."

As he spoke, he looked at the large dragon, "Senior Dragon, I give up!"

The altar did not shoot out the expected light. The large dragon glared at Lin Moyu, "You cannot leave."

Lin Moyu said, "Senior Dragon, you set the rules; you cannot go back on your word. I don't want the inheritance, and you can't force it on me, right?"

He knew the identity of the large dragon; as an existence like an artifact spirit, it also had to act according to certain rules.

Even if it could change the rules, it could only change them within a small scope.

The large dragon snorted, "You can give up, but you must produce something convincing. You said your killing intent surpasses the Star Lord's; bring it out and let me see."

Lin Moyu sighed softly, "Actually, there is no need for this. With my cultivation realm, I am an infinite distance away from the Star Lord."

The large dragon said, "We are not comparing cultivation now, but killing intent. Stop talking nonsense. If you want to leave here, show your killing intent. If you dare to lie to me, you will both die here today."

The large dragon seemed truly angry; its pair of huge eyes stared fixedly at Lin Moyu, while also looking at Gu Nianshui.

If it wasn't satisfied today, let alone the inheritance, neither of them would survive.

And on the side, Gu Nianshui looked completely innocent.

When immortals fight, mortals suffer; what kind of situation is this?

She had just come to get the inheritance, used all kinds of methods, and yet the result was that her life and death were not in her own hands.

Even the inheritance depended on someone else's mood.

Gu Nianshui looked at Lin Moyu with an extremely resentful gaze, "Senior Lin, please just satisfy Senior Dragon's request."
