Chapter 2383

This was not just discomfort; it was practically a hell of ice and fire.

But this was only the beginning; the true tempering had yet to arrive.

The power of the Dao of Ice and Fire used Lin Moyu's soul as a battlefield, finally colliding.

Powerful forces exploded, and Lin Moyu felt as if his soul were about to be torn apart.

The terrifying power detonated within his soul body, leaving him dazed and his consciousness blurred.

Amidst the explosions, some tiny impurities within his soul were refined away, making his soul increasingly pure, its power rising, and his realm gradually improving.

Previously, Lin Moyu's soul realm had already reached the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm; now, under the tempering of the Dao of Ice and Fire, his soul was advancing toward the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

Although the process was painful, at least the result was good, and there were gains.

Lin Moyu steadied his Dao Heart, endured the pain, and continued to temper his soul.

There is a barrier between the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm and the 4th Realm; the span is somewhat large, both for cultivation realm and soul realm.

This was also the reason why Lin Moyu's soul had not progressed further after stepping into the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm.

Originally, Lin Moyu thought he would have to wait until his cultivation realm reached the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm before he could allow his soul and cultivation to rise together.

Now it seemed that was unnecessary; the appearance of the ice-fire dao stone could allow his soul to enter the Dao Venerable 4th Realm ahead of time.

Once the soul enters the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, it clears the path to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm; as long as he has enough Dao Patterns, he can step into the Dao Venerable 4th Realm at any time.

Under the tempering of the ice-fire dao stone, his soul let out a soft sound, and purple light flared brightly, instead suppressing the ice and flames.

His soul had finally stepped into the Dao Venerable 4th Realm!

Chapter 2983: Dao Venerable 4th Realm Soul, Fusion Technique!

The power of the ice-fire dao stone receded, the soul passage closed, and Lin Moyu ended this soul tempering.

His soul realm had firmly stepped into the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, also clearing the path for Lin Moyu to advance to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

Now Lin Moyu had two choices: one was to condense enough Dao Patterns to ascend in realm with a perfect posture.

He could also choose to promote to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm right now; of course, such a promotion would not be perfect, and Lin Moyu would never consider it.

The path he wanted to walk was inherently the strongest path, and every step had to pursue perfection.

The Dao Venerable 4th Realm soul exuded a noble aura, while simultaneously emitting a terrifying pressure.

The Dao Venerable 4th Realm soul could kill any cultivator in the Heavenly Venerable Realm simply by relying on soul pressure.

However, the only flaw was that, at this moment, the aura of the Dao of Ice and Fire was emanating from within his soul.

These auras were very faint, but they were real, preventing his soul from truly reaching perfection.

This was the consequence of using the ice-fire dao stone to temper the soul; every medicine has its side effects, and the residual toxicity of the ice-fire dao stone was a headache for many cultivators.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred; the ten-colored dragon soul crystal, originally coiled on the World Tree, immediately woke up, flew to the side of his soul, and sprayed Dragon Breath toward it.

The greatest function of the ten-colored dragon soul crystal was to help purify the soul and disperse all impurities within it.

It would grow stronger and stronger along with Lin Moyu's growth.

But now, the aura remaining in his soul was the aura of the Dao of Ice and Fire, and Lin Moyu did not know if the ten-colored dragon soul crystal was strong enough to disperse the residue.

However, even if the ten-colored dragon soul crystal could not disperse the residue, it didn't matter; Lin Moyu still had a backup plan.

The Dragon Breath enveloped the soul, giving it a comfortable feeling, like bathing in a hot spring.

Within the Dragon Breath, the residual aura left behind by the ice-fire dao stone was gradually dissipating.

The speed was not fast, but it was indeed being refined by the Dragon Breath.

Lin Moyu felt a surge of joy, "The ten-colored dragon soul crystal is indeed effective. In that case, I can use the ice-fire dao stone to temper my soul every so often."

The ten-colored dragon soul crystal could refine the residual aura of the ice-fire dao stone, which relieved Lin Moyu of any worries.

One could imagine that in the future, as he repeatedly tempered his soul with the ice-fire dao stone, his soul would become stronger and stronger.

"The problem of soul cultivation has been solved, but unfortunately, the problem of physical body cultivation has yet to be resolved."

The ice-fire dao stone contained the will of Chixin and Lanshan and could not be used to cultivate the physical body; this was also a pity.

The physical body is hard to train; he would still need to find other methods.

The ten-colored dragon soul crystal continued to purify the soul; it would still take some time to completely refine and disperse the Dao aura.

Excluding the time just spent tempering his soul, there were still more than forty days until he left the Ice and Fire Secret Realm, so Lin Moyu turned his attention to the Dao Patterns.

He wanted to use the Dao Patterns again to perform Fusion Technique and strengthen his spells.

Fifty-two Dao Patterns were shining in his soul, distributed everywhere like stars in the sky.

Among them, thirty-four Dao Patterns already had owners, arranged in a peculiar shape.

The other eighteen Dao Patterns were scattered about, waiting for Lin Moyu to summon them.

Because he needed to maintain the balance of the Dao Patterns, each spell either did not fuse with Dao Patterns, or if it did, it required at least two to start.

And the Dao Patterns that the spell itself possessed did not need to be counted.

So, while it seemed like there were eighteen Dao Patterns, in reality, there were only ten spells that could actually be fused.

Furthermore, Lin Moyu did not intend to fuse all of them; he wanted to keep a few for emergencies.

After some thought, Lin Moyu made his decision: he would keep two Dao Patterns for backup and fuse the remaining sixteen Dao Patterns with his spells.

Based on his previous combat experience, the first ones Lin Moyu chose were still his summoning spells.

[Summon Skeleton King], [Summon Skeleton Divine General], [Summon Dragon Cavalry Legion], [Resurrection of the Dead], [Summon Elemental Lich].

These five major summoning spells alone required ten Dao Patterns.

Lin Moyu not only had to maintain the Dao Pattern balance for each spell but also maintain the Dao Pattern balance among the five major summoning spells.

In this way, the five major summoning spells would each possess four Dao Patterns, and the spell effects would be stronger.

In the previous battle against the Five-Tailed Scorpion Mouse, the importance of the Undead Legion had already been proven.

If they hadn't blocked the Five-Tailed Scorpion Mouse and bought enough time for Lin Moyu to react, the subsequent battle would not have been so easy.

Ten Dao Patterns flew out and merged with the five major summoning spells.

The Spell Stars hummed, and the auras continuously strengthened.

Lin Moyu summoned the Skeleton Divine General, feeling its changes more clearly and intuitively:

The Skeleton Divine General was previously at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, but only just at the level of having just stepped into the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm.

Later, as the number of Dao Patterns increased, the effect of the two Dao Patterns fused with the Skeleton Divine General also strengthened accordingly.

When it had fifty-two Dao Patterns, the Skeleton Divine General had already shed its status as a bottom-tier Dao Venerable 3rd Realm entity, and its strength had increased by at least double.

Now that two more Dao Patterns had been fused, the Dao Patterns went from two to four, doubling again.

The power of the Skeleton Divine General also increased accordingly, and it increased by more than double; it stepped directly into the peak of the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

The increase in the number of Dao Patterns brought immediate effects.

"The Skeleton Divine General is already at the peak of the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, then the Dragon Cavalry Legion Commander…"

Lin Moyu summoned the Dragon Cavalry Legion Commander and discovered that, just as he had expected, the Dragon Cavalry Legion Commander had reached the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

And those Dragon Knights were also at the peak of the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm, incredibly close to the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, but seemed to be lacking just a little bit.

The Skeleton King was the same; its combat power had reached the intermediate level of the Dao Venerable 4th Realm. If three thousand Skeleton Kings appeared at the same time, their individual combat power could reach the peak of the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

For the Undead Legion, they didn't need things like a Dao True Body; what they wanted was real combat power!

[Resurrection of the Dead] did not have much change; the four Dao Patterns only changed the duration of existence from 5000 days to 6000 days.

Actually, with the hibernation mechanism in place, there wasn't much difference between 5000 days and 6000 days, but more is always better than less.

Lin Moyu had a feeling that [Resurrection of the Dead] seemed to be waiting for a qualitative change.

This spell was too magical; it could allow beings who had been dead for countless years to return to the world in a peculiar way.

This kind of ability seemed to be something only the Dao could possess.

He didn't know where the power of [Resurrection of the Dead] came from, but for now, it was definitely not simple.

Finally, there was [Summon Elemental Lich]; the four Dao Patterns made the Elemental Lich a bit stronger.

However, for Lin Moyu now, the only Elemental Lich he could use was the Buddha Kingdom Lich.

The Buddha Kingdom Lich had reached the limit of the five-wheeled Ancient Buddha at this moment, and it seemed the sixth wheel was already faintly visible. Their power was mainly limited by materials, and Dao Patterns did not have much influence on them.

Lin Moyu suddenly thought, "If I used the ice-fire dao stone to summon an Elemental Lich…"

"If it could succeed, how strong would this Elemental Lich be!"

"I'll try it in a while to see if it can work."

Lin Moyu decided to try it later.

With a movement of his consciousness, the remaining six Dao Patterns all rushed into the Bone Hell.

Boom!

The Bone Hell boiled over completely, and countless Hell Fierce Spirits screamed in excitement incessantly, their voices shrill and piercing, shaking the mind and spirit.

Then, a terrifying dragon roar burst forth from the Nether Black Pool!

Chapter 2984: No Matter How Many Years, I Will Wait

Twelve Dao Patterns caused the power of the Bone Hell to increase significantly.

In prehistoric times, many Dao Venerables could not gather twelve Dao Patterns in their entire lives.

Not to mention letting a single spell enjoy the enhancement of twelve Dao Patterns; for many Dao Venerables, this was an unimaginable thing.

Even for those geniuses who possessed a relatively large number of Dao Patterns, maybe twenty or thirty…

But likewise, the number of spells such people possessed would not be too small.

After distributing the Dao Patterns, the Dao Patterns that each spell could be allocated were extremely limited.

Generally speaking, the strongest spell being able to be allocated six Dao Patterns was already the limit.

Lin Moyu directly letting the Bone Hell possess twelve Dao Patterns was simply extravagant.

Moreover, Lin Moyu would not let the Bone Hell stop at twelve Dao Patterns; it might increase in the future, depending specifically on the changes of the Bone Hell.

Ever since it devoured the Hell fragments and the Gate of Hell and the Nether Black Pool appeared one after another, Lin Moyu had placed high hopes on the Bone Hell.

The Bone Hell had already deviated from the essence of a spell and existed in another special and independent form.

Although it was still a spell, Lin Moyu felt it was evolving toward a Real World.

Spells evolving into a Real World had not never occurred in the history of the Origin Continent.

But such Real Worlds were all very weak.

Even so, it still required experts above the Dao Venerable 7th Realm to achieve it.

Lin Moyu's Bone Hell was not like this; whether in the Rule World or the Origin Continent, it was as powerful as ever.

And as the Bone Hell grew stronger, it became increasingly real, evolving toward a true hell.

Perhaps one day in the future, the Bone Hell could truly become a real hell.

The former hell had already been shattered; if the Bone Hell could replace it, that would not be impossible.

Amidst the terrifying dragon roar, a huge black dragon rushed out from the Nether Black Pool.

Before this, it had only revealed a head, but now, it had half a dragon body.

Its body was incomparably huge; just half a dragon body was over ten thousand meters in length.

On its body, huge dragon scales flashed with a pitch-black luster.

The aura it emitted was no weaker than any entity in the Dao Venerable 4th Realm.

It roared in the Bone Hell, revealing incomparably sharp dragon teeth.

Lin Moyu knew that even an entity at the Dao Venerable 6th Realm would not fare well if bitten by it.

Besides the Nether Black Dragon, the power of the Hell Fierce Spirits was also rising rapidly.

Each of them had promoted to the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm; given the tenacity of the Hell Fierce Spirits, they could already wear down a Dao Venerable 4th Realm entity before this.

Now, even a Dao Venerable 5th Realm entity would likewise be worn down to death by them.
