Chapter 3336
Xiao Peng's race possessed many talents, and Mian Lun was one of them. The function of Mian Lun was similar to feigned death.
However, it differed from feigned death. When they encountered danger, they could force themselves into a state of Mian Lun.
In this state, the body's defense would become extremely strong, and it could continuously generate powerful vitality, while the soul would shrink into a tiny point.
In this state, injuries to both the soul and the physical body could be healed. Once Mian Lun ended,
the injuries would be mostly healed. If one were killed while in the Mian Lun state, the soul would detach from the physical body,
traverse the void, and escape. As long as the soul remained, the physical body could be regenerated.
Therefore, the ability of Mian Lun was more powerful than feigned death or deep sleep, and it was their primary tool for escaping death. But now,
this Chaos Realm Great Success Peng had activated Mian Lun here, but those creatures did not kill him; instead, they treated him as a source of nourishment.
His physical body would not die, and his soul could not escape, so he ended up trapped here.
Mian Lun could last forever, and he would be trapped here eternally. While they were speaking,
the East Pole Dragon Python sent out by Lin Moyu was already struggling to hold on, its vitality draining rapidly. Its cultivation realm had not changed,
but its power was severely depleted; even if it wanted to escape, it could no longer do so. Before long,
it collapsed, unable to move, though its consciousness remained.
Those tiny souls were spread throughout its body, inside and out, constantly draining its vitality. As a Half-step Chaos Realm
and also a Revenant, the East Pole Dragon Python's vitality was not too weak, and it would continuously regenerate vitality.
The strange, tiny Soul Fire on the continent also treated it as nourishment, controlling the rate of absorption without any intention of killing it.
Xiao Peng did not know what these things Lin Moyu spoke of were. There was no existence of these creatures in his bloodline memories. It was truly bizarre.
Lin Moyu moved his consciousness and sent out several more East Pole Dragon Pythons to fly over, keeping the Eye of the Undead activated.
Before these East Pole Dragon Pythons officially stepped onto the continent, it was completely silent, with no Soul Fire present.
It was empty, but the moment they stepped onto it, endless Soul Fire suddenly appeared and engulfed them.
Lin Moyu moved his consciousness, and the East Pole Dragon Pythons immediately left the continent before their vitality could be drained completely.
As they tried to break free, the continent suddenly emitted a faint light, and an invisible suction force fell upon them.
It forcibly pulled them back. Escape failed. In the blink of an eye,
a layer of Soul Fire covered the outside of their bodies, making them look like people made of fire. In another blink of an eye,
large amounts of Soul Fire burrowed into their bodies, and their vitality was draining rapidly. The situation of these East Pole Dragon Pythons was identical.
There was no difference. Lin Moyu sighed, "I know why your clansmen couldn't escape."
Before Lin Moyu could explain in detail, Xiao Peng suddenly shouted:
"The continent has disappeared!"
Seeing his clansman, Xiao Peng was clearly somewhat agitated, his bloodline humming and resonating.
Xiao Peng wanted to go over but was called back by Lin Moyu. "Don't be hasty, there is a problem with this continent."
The continent was not very large, and the corpse of Xiao Peng's clansman already occupied a small portion of it. As a powerful Chaos Creature,
when revealing its true form, its massive size would often exceed imagination. Some terrifying Chaos Creatures
could even exceed the size of a small Domain. This corpse was over ten million meters long. The aura emanating from the corpse
should be Chaos Realm Great Success. Although Xiao Peng was agitated due to bloodline resonance, he still trusted Lin Moyu's words.
Suppressing his urge to go over, he asked in a low voice, "Father."
"Where is the problem?"
Lin Moyu said,
"We have searched this area for ten years."
"If I remember correctly, we have been here before, and we did not discover this continent at that time."
"Your clansman must have been dead for more than ten years; why did we only sense its aura now?"
"These two points alone are enough to show that this continent is unusual. When things are abnormal, there must be a demon. Therefore, we cannot be hasty."
"Let's figure it out first." Xiao Peng tried hard to calm himself down; he knew that what Lin Moyu said was correct.
It was indeed very wrong. With the previous experience with the Primordial Insect, Lin Moyu did not directly use his Undead Servants.
Instead, he sent an East Pole Dragon Python over. There were too many dangers in the Chaos; some dangers could even reach him through the connection with his Undead Servants.
They could even endanger all his Undead Servants. Compared to the Undead Servants, the connection between a Revenant and himself was much weaker.
Even if something happened, the impact would be much smaller. An East Pole Dragon Python that was only at the Half-step Chaos Realm flew over.
It was getting closer and closer to the continent, but its aura was getting weaker and weaker, as if it were moving away at an astonishing speed.
The continent was clearly not far ahead, but this East Pole Dragon Python had been flying for a long time without reaching it. It was clearly flying,
and at an astonishing speed, yet it could never get close to the continent. The space had been folded!
Lin Moyu realized that the space near the continent was folded. It looked very close, but it was actually very far away.
Xiao Peng said:
"No wonder. My clansman is right in front of me."
"But the aura tells me it is extremely far away." Now that he had calmed down, he could make accurate judgments about many things.
The talent of the East Pole Dragon Python allowed it to traverse the void, and theoretically, it could ignore the folded space, but Lin Moyu did not let it do so.
Only by flying over in the normal way could he know if there would be any tricks along the way. After flying for a long time,
the East Pole Dragon Python finally passed through the folded space and landed on the continent. Then, its aura began to plummet sharply. Lin Moyu, as its master, felt it most clearly.
He clearly sensed that the East Pole Dragon Python's life was fading away. In the East Pole Dragon Python's vision, nothing existed.
"Eye of the Undead!"
Lin Moyu activated the Eye of the Undead, and in an instant, he saw a large amount of Soul Fire.
These Soul Fires were very tiny, but their numbers were astonishing, flickering and jumping in the void.
These Soul Fires were attached to the East Pole Dragon Python, constantly absorbing its vitality, and not just on the surface of its body.
A large amount of Soul Fire had already burrowed into the inside of its body, spreading throughout it. The Peng in the distance was the same.
The inside and outside of its body had been occupied by countless Soul Fires. In the Eye of the Undead, it looked like a huge fireball.
"What are these things!"
Lin Moyu said in a low voice. Xiao Peng saw nothing.
"Father, what do you see?"
Lin Moyu said:
"Many tiny souls, but they cannot be seen with the naked eye or the Soul Eye. They will burrow into the body."
"They absorb vitality. Your clansman looks dead, but it is actually still alive."
"It has become food for these creatures, continuously providing vitality. It seems this has been going on for a long time."
"Interesting. You still have this kind of ability." Through the Eye of the Undead, Lin Moyu not only saw countless tiny Soul Fires,
but also saw that inside the body of that Peng, a soul still existed. The Peng was not dead.
It seemed to be in a very special state; it was like sleep but not sleep, nor was it a deep-injury hibernation.
Chapter 4372: Chaos Desolate Ox
Countless insects flew up from the piles of stones.
Following the Lei Guang, they flew towards the giant beast. The moment he saw the insects, his soul boiled and his emotions were unsettled.
In the deepest part of his bloodline, a memory was awakening. The memory carried terrifying emotions, and Xiao Peng's whole body trembled uncontrollably.
His mouth kept opening and closing, but he could not make a sound, yet the shock in his eyes could not be hidden from Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu was not in a hurry to ask; he would wait for Xiao Peng to calm down on his own.
He saw more things than Xiao Peng. A formation appeared faintly within the Lei Guang, but because of the obstruction of the Lei Guang, it was not seen very clearly. However, just seeing it a few times had already made Lin Moyu extremely pleasantly surprised.
Within this formation, traces belonging to Great Venerable Tianzai appeared faintly. Great Venerable Tianzai would not leave any traces casually.
After all, the enemy he once faced was the Dao. Every trace left behind could potentially be seized. Being able to leave traces here must have a reason. Lin Moyu instinctively felt that this super-giant Chaos Creature was probably not simple. He did not move; now was not the time to act.
When the Lei Guang dissipated and the void returned to calm, those insects disappeared again.
The insects still existed, but when the Lei Guang did not appear, they were also invisible.
If anyone stepped into these stones at this moment, they would inevitably be attacked and would find it hard to escape. When Xiao Peng finally calmed down, Lin Moyu asked:
"What did you think of?"
Xiao Peng's voice was slightly hoarse, several degrees lower than usual. "A segment of my bloodline memory has awakened. This memory was sealed and would only awaken under special circumstances." Lin Moyu said:
"Is it because of those insects?"
Xiao Peng nodded. "Yes. Those insects are called Spirit-Devouring Insects. They are usually in an invisible state and are almost impossible to see. They only reveal themselves under specific circumstances. Spirit-Devouring Insects can absorb the vitality of living beings and are not easy to deal with."
"But what is truly terrifying is not them, but him. He is called the Chaos Desolate Ox. The Spirit-Devouring Insects are his companions, and can also be seen as his servants. The Chaos Desolate Ox was born in the Ancient Wilderness and is active in the Chaos. Its strength is unknown, and it is rumored to be comparable to a Great Venerable."
"Usually, it likes to sleep. When sleeping, its skin will split into fragments, and the fragments will fly out carrying the Spirit-Devouring Insects. They attract other living beings. Those living beings that enter the fragments will be trapped and then treated as nourishment by the Spirit-Devouring Insects."
"The vitality they absorb will be sent to the Chaos Desolate Ox through the Spirit-Devouring Insects. These living beings possessed by the Spirit-Devouring Insects will not die; the Spirit-Devouring Insects will control the amount of absorption well. It is only when the Chaos Desolate Ox wakes up and takes back all the fragments that it will be the death date of these living beings."
Lin Moyu asked: "Why did your ancestor seal this bloodline memory?" Xiao Peng shook his head.
"I don't know, but there must be a reason for sealing it. This memory is filled with the fear of a certain ancestor."
"Back then, we must have had dealings with the Chaos Desolate Ox. As for the specific matter, I don't know." Lin Moyu asked:
"Then do you know how many Chaos Desolate Oxen there are in the world?"
Xiao Peng still shook his head, indicating he did not know. As long as it was not in his bloodline memory, he knew nothing about it. For a Chaos Creature as ridiculously powerful as the Chaos Desolate Ox, the quantity certainly would not be too high. It came from the Ancient Wilderness.
"It possesses strength comparable to a Great Venerable. Whether it is true or false, at least it is not weaker than any Perfection-level Expert. The most critical point is that it has no Domain, just like the Primordial Insect, it has no Domain."
"It seems this is a manifestation of some kind of power in the Ancient Wilderness; it does not need to rely on the power of a Domain to reach the peak." Having learned the opponent's name from Xiao Peng, it seemed that if he wanted to find out more, he could only communicate with it directly.
But before that, Lin Moyu still had to make some preparations and leave a way out for himself. Withdrawing another distance, separated by a hundred million miles, Lin Moyu set up a formation.
