Chapter 701: Famous Throughout Luotian, The Moon Gazer’s Wrath is Like a Finger of an Ancient God (Third update completed, seeking monthly vote!)

There was once a saying in the memory of Ancient God Tu Si to describe the Moon Gazer, a creature that parasitizes Ancient Gods.

"If the Heavenly Dao has a Nether, then the Ancient God has a Moon!"

The character 'Nether' can be interpreted as spirit or soul. In short, the first half of the sentence means that the Heavenly Dao is not inanimate, but possesses its own inherent spirituality and soul, which may be unknown to living beings.

The second half refers to the Moon Gazer. In the memory of Ancient God Tu Si, even he did not fully understand how the Moon Gazer came into existence; it seemed to have been around since a very, very long time ago.

Just like the soul and spirit of the Heavenly Dao, they are elusive things, and no one can clearly explain the Karma behind them.

"The Moon Gazer's Wrath is like a Finger of an Ancient God." This was the second description of the Moon Gazer in Tu Si's memory, and it was the sentence that left the deepest impression on Wang Lin.

Reading between the lines, once the Moon Gazer becomes enraged and reaches its third form, its power is equivalent to a Finger of an Ancient God. This power can be great or small. At its greatest, like the finger of a Nine-Star Ancient God, even a Cultivation Planet would collapse.

At its smallest, like that of a One-Star Ancient God, it would merely be a joke.

But clearly, the enormous Moon Gazer before Wang Lin right now was absolutely no joke!

Cold light erupted all over Wang Lin's body. He and the Immortal Guard pushed their speed to the limit, carrying half of the Moon Gazer's bone and fleeing frantically. He had tried using the Heaven Defying bead to absorb it along the way, but for some unknown reason, the speed was very slow, making it impossible to complete in a short time.

At this moment, violent rumbling echoed throughout the entire Cloud Mist Planet. The sound was too immense; calling it rolling thunder would be an understatement. Spreading out, the furious roar contained within the massive rumbling could be heard across countless surrounding Starry Sky areas.

Wang Lin's eyelids twitched. He fled rapidly without looking back. The Moon Gazer wouldn't die without its bone; given enough time, it could completely condense another one.

However, it was clear that the current Moon Gazer's Bone was condensed over countless long years, so it was no wonder the Moon Gazer was so furious.

The Moon Gazer's massive body slowly stretched out with a rumbling sound, gradually elongating from its previous spherical shape. During this movement, sounds of tearing echoed, and large patches of land on the Moon Gazer's body collapsed again. This time, the collapse was even more complete!

Countless enormous tentacles continuously extended from its body, swaying slowly. An unbelievably massive Aura gradually leaked out from within it.

Greed Wolf's figure materialized from within the Giant Cauldron, but his timing was terrible—it was exactly when the Moon Gazer was enraged. Staring at the nearby Rift, Greed Wolf's eyes were bloodshot, and low growls emanated from his mouth. He desperately sped up, trying to rush out!

However, right at that moment, the Rift slowly began to close.

"No!!" Greed Wolf roared miserably, blood tears almost dripping from his eyes.

The Moon Gazer closed its mouth. Its massive body was full of deterrence, but its movements were still somewhat slow and not entirely free, though they were gradually recovering as the residual power of the Immortal Ascension Fruit faded.

Wang Lin carried the Moon Gazer's bone, followed by the Immortal Guard. Stepping into the Starry Sky, he slapped his Storage Pouch, and the Star Compass immediately flew out. Stepping onto it, he transformed into a silver light, carrying the long Moon Gazer's bone and speeding away without looking back.

The Moon Gazer's icy gaze stared remotely at the departing Wang Lin. The countless tentacles on its massive body slightly waved, instantly stirring up a sudden storm. This storm was so powerful that it created a sonic boom.

Immediately, a wave of Qi slammed in all directions. Within the Qi wave, the Moon Gazer's enormous body pushed forward. It was almost impossible to see it moving, yet the distance between it and Wang Lin was instantly closed.

At the same time, the Moon Gazer opened its mouth and uttered an Ancient God Language. In that instant, Wang Lin's scalp tingled as he saw hundreds of smaller, hundred-zhang-long Moon Gazers rushing out the moment the Rift in its mouth opened.

Greed Wolf was surprisingly among them. He looked at the Starry Sky, and the excitement in his eyes reignited. This feeling was simply too wonderful; the taste of the long-separated Starry Sky made his heart swell with indescribable emotion.

But he knew that this was not yet a true escape. The moment he appeared, he immediately spotted Wang Lin on the Star Compass in the distance. After a moment of shock, he instantly understood, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

But he dared not act rashly. There were too many hundred-zhang Vicious Beasts around him, and he worried that any movement might attract their attention.

Wang Lin sucked in a breath of Qi, and without hesitation, he slapped his Storage Pouch, retrieving the Immortal Wine, of which only a few drops remained. Gritting his teeth, he took a sip, leaving only two drops stored away.

In an instant, vigorous Immortal Power erupted within him. This Immortal Power was extremely rich, perhaps even quite pure—after all, this was truly the possession of an Immortal!

Enduring the intense pain and the sensation of fainting, Wang Lin raised his right hand, pointed fiercely at the approaching group of Moon Gazers, and shouted, "Fix!"

With his words becoming law, the Immortal Power within him, which felt ready to explode, instantly poured out through his right hand, turning into boundless power that permeated the world. With the single word "Fix," it was as if the power of heaven and earth had stopped circulating.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Lin could not have achieved this. Even now, he relied on the might of the Immortal Wine. Without the Immortal Wine, he simply could not have deployed the Body Fixing Art to such an extent.

Taking advantage of the moment they were fixed, Wang Lin quickly rushed out without looking back. His speed was incredible, and he didn't hesitate to use the Divine Ability technique owned by the elder from the Demon Spirit Land who specialized in fleeing.

However, Wang Lin only fixed the Small Moon Gazers. The giant Moon Gazer that transformed into the Cloud Mist Planet was completely unaffected. Its charge brought with it a fierce impact force, which caused all the fixed Moon Gazers to immediately regain their freedom.

However, Greed Wolf had terrible luck. His body was also fixed, and his recovery was slightly delayed. Just as the Moon Gazer was upon him, he once again fell into its massive Rift.

Greed Wolf felt his vision go dark, and the next moment, he found that he was actually back inside the Rift.

Despairing, Greed Wolf's eyes showed madness. He bit his tongue, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and all of it landed on the Giant Cauldron. The Cauldron immediately emitted an ancient Aura, and even stirred up a circular ripple. With a flash, it carried Greed Wolf and instantly swapped positions with the fastest approaching Small Moon Gazer ahead.

His face was pale, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. Pointing at the fleeing Wang Lin ahead, he roared ferociously, "Wang Lin, don't run!"

Wang Lin had long noticed Greed Wolf's figure. Without looking back, he pointed his right hand backward again, and the remaining storm-like Immortal Power surged within him.

Fix!

Greed Wolf was about to use the Giant Cauldron Divine Ability again to swap his position with Wang Lin, but at that very instant, the Body Fixing Art descended, and his body immediately froze.

At this moment, the Moon Gazer's gaze suddenly landed on the Giant Cauldron in front of Greed Wolf, and a strange light burst forth in its eyes. It detected an Aura on the Giant Cauldron that made it feel very comfortable.

Back then, when the Moon Gazer was not awake, the reason it didn't kill Greed Wolf was precisely because of the Giant Cauldron beside him. However, since it wasn't awake at the time, it only subconsciously sent the Cauldron along with Greed Wolf into the Place of Excretion.

Although that place was where the Moon Gazer excreted, it was also where it absorbed. Subconsciously, the Moon Gazer wanted to absorb this Cauldron, which is why Greed Wolf had endured nearly a hundred years of suppressed life.

The instant Greed Wolf's body was fixed, the Moon Gazer immediately swallowed him.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed with a strange light. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he sped away again, widening the distance.

Greed Wolf only felt his vision go dark. When he recovered his ability to move, he had already been swallowed and was at the edge of the Rift. This back-and-forth experience filled Greed Wolf's face with bitterness, but at the same time, his hatred for Wang Lin intensified boundlessly.

"It's all because of you!!"

Greed Wolf violently gritted his teeth, performed Hand Seals with both hands, and pressed them onto the Giant Cauldron. A milky white light flashed from his glabella and imprinted itself onto the Giant Cauldron.

"Even if this old man sacrifices his Lifespan, I must escape this place!" Greed Wolf roared furiously. The Giant Cauldron in front of him instantly absorbed Greed Wolf's Lifespan and immediately grew larger.

In the blink of an eye, it grew infinitely. An immense, ancient Aura emanated endlessly as the Giant Cauldron expanded.

The Moon Gazer roared, its sound rumbling forth. Wang Lin's body trembled, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, having clearly suffered severe internal injuries.

As for the Immortal Guard Puppet, its body also shook, and the golden light outside its body completely collapsed. Even the spiritual light in its eyes dimmed slightly, though its injuries were lighter compared to Wang Lin's.

Taking advantage of the Giant Cauldron's expansion, Greed Wolf decisively rushed out, heading straight for the outside world. At this moment, the Moon Gazer's massive mouth was propped open and rapidly enlarging by the continuously growing Giant Cauldron.

"This Cauldron, I don't want it anymore!" Greed Wolf turned away heartbroken, about to rush into the distance.

But just then, the massive Moon Gazer spat outward. The large Cauldron was forcefully ejected. A strange light appeared in the Moon Gazer's eyes, and the tentacles on its body immediately extended, directly wrapping around the Giant Cauldron. Other tentacles swiftly shot out, coiling toward the nearest Greed Wolf.

Greed Wolf's expression was gloomy. He slapped his Storage Pouch, immediately retrieved a screen, placed it upright, and performed Hand Seals on it with both hands. Instantly, a Power of Mountains and Rivers suddenly appeared in the Starry Sky.

As Wang Lin fled, his Divine Sense even experienced an illusion, as if the Starry Sky was gone, replaced instead by a majestic landscape of ten-thousand-zhang mountains and rivers, radiating a rainbow-like Aura!

"Mountain and River Map!" The speed of the Star Compass beneath Wang Lin slowed. His eyes revealed greed as he stared intently at the enormous screen. He had seen this item before. Greed Wolf had once said that he hadn't found the real Mountain and River Map, but had found this screen imprinted with the map.

The Moon Gazer's eyes remained icy cold. A strange rune flickered within its pupils—a rune Wang Lin recognized as the Ancient God Language!

As the rune flickered, a hundred-zhang-sized finger materialized in front of the Moon Gazer. It was just one finger, and its skin was extremely rough, yet it faintly exuded a captivating Aura.

Although this finger was illusory, at this moment, it appeared unbelievably real in Wang Lin's eyes!

"The Moon Gazer's Wrath is like a Finger of an Ancient God!" Wang Lin gasped, sweat forming on his forehead, his heart pounding wildly. He finally understood the meaning of that sentence.
