Chapter 810: Famous Throughout Luotian, The Moon Beast’s Secret (Third update!)
As the intense sound echoed, Wang Lin's face immediately turned pale, and a tearing pain emanated from his Primordial Spirit. Previously, he was protected by the Ancient God's Leather Armor, so this sensation wasn't obvious, but now, this pain caused blood to instantly trickle from his seven orifices.
In this moment of crisis, Wang Lin gave a bitter smile, slapped his Storage Pouch, and the Ancient God's Leather Armor immediately appeared. With a silent sigh, he once again enveloped his Primordial Spirit with it. In an instant, it was as if a world was cut off from his ears; although the rumbling roar was strong, when it reached his Primordial Spirit, its intensity was reduced, allowing Wang Lin to bear it.
However, the aura emanating from the Ancient God's Leather Armor caused the restless smaller Moon Beasts within the Moon Beast's body to twist their whiskers and fur, rushing frantically towards Wang Lin's location.
Wang Lin's scalp tingled; he was now in a dilemma. If he removed the leather armor, his Primordial Spirit would collapse under the violent roar, but if he wore it, it would definitely attract a large number of smaller Moon Beasts.
With a silent sigh, Wang Lin's expression changed. A chilling aura instantly permeated the surroundings. In the mud in front of him, a rift suddenly opened, and a Moon Beast, tens of zhang in size, rushed out as if cheering, heading straight for Wang Lin. The gaping maw, in Wang Lin's opinion, was certainly not as simple as absorbing the leather armor's Qi.
Wang Lin's thousand years of cultivation had long since rid him of such illusory self-comforting feelings; he didn't believe that this Moon Beast would acknowledge him as its master just because of the Ancient God's Qi!
At this moment, Wang Lin's expression was solemn, a cold glint in his eyes. He swiftly retreated. As the ten-plus zhang Moon Beast charged, its eerie maw continuously devoured the aura emanating from Wang Lin's body.
This aura was imperceptible to any Cultivator, and even those Vicious Beasts with ancient Legacies were unable to detect it. In this world, apart from a limited number of creatures like Star-Marked Minks, only Moon Beasts were extremely sensitive to the Ancient God's aura.
The cold glint in Wang Lin's eyes intensified. This Moon Beast in front of him probably intended to swallow him whole while devouring the leather armor's Qi!
Just as Wang Lin was retreating, an even denser chill suddenly enveloped the surroundings. Wang Lin's face grew even gloomier, and without looking back, he immediately changed direction.
In the mud behind his previous position, a rift opened, and a hundred zhang Moon Beast roared out. This Moon Beast had its whiskers and fur wrapped around its body, and its gaping maw seemed to be excited to the extreme, with large amounts of viscous fluid flowing from its mouth, rushing to swallow Wang Lin.
Wang Lin changed direction, and instantly, cracking sounds emanated from all around. More than ten rifts suddenly appeared, and Moon Beasts of varying sizes all rushed out, heading straight for Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's eyes showed calmness. As he retreated, his internal vital energy circulated, surging outwards, immediately forming a vortex-like collapsing force. With a boom, it made his retreat even faster.
Behind him, a large number of Moon Beasts pursued, their eyes showing excitement, but deep within that excitement was a terrifying ruthlessness.
They wanted to devour the leather armor's Qi, and even more, they wanted to swallow Wang Lin directly, so that they could forever have that exciting aura!
Being pursued by so many Moon Beasts made Wang Lin's scalp tingle. In his haste, his expression changed drastically, revealing a bitter smile. He stopped, only to see that in the mud in front of him, at that very instant, hundreds of cracks appeared, and Moon Beasts frantically rushed out. Almost immediately, they, along with the large group of Moon Beasts that had been pursuing Wang Lin, formed a dense encirclement, trapping Wang Lin within.
Just as these Moon Beasts rushed out, preparing to devour him, and Wang Lin gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes, a violent roar suddenly boomed within the Moon Beast's body.
As this roar echoed, the many smaller Moon Beasts that were originally preparing to devour him immediately retreated. The circle surrounding Wang Lin instantly opened up a passage as the Moon Beasts moved.
Wang Lin's gaze sharpened, but just then, a series of cracking sounds rapidly rang out. A colossal Moon Beast, approximately ten thousand zhang long, directly rushed out from that passage. Its speed was too fast, and a powerful Aura, no weaker than that of the Blood Ancestor, emanated from its body, causing Wang Lin's expression to change drastically in an instant.
As the ten thousand zhang Moon Beast charged, it swallowed Wang Lin whole with incredible speed, then immediately contracted its body, moved, and drilled into the mud, heading towards the distance.
Behind it, all the Moon Beasts followed, moving in unison towards the distance.
The ten thousand zhang Moon Beast's body was gray. As it swam, its eyes showed ruthlessness. Its speed was incredibly fast, especially within this massive mother body, where it was like a fish in water. Traversing through, it only took half an incense stick's time to reach a peculiar place.
Here, there was no mud, only a giant vortex, slowly rotating. With each rotation, waves of chilling Qi emanated, merging into the surroundings.
If Wang Lin could see this vortex now, he would definitely concentrate and recognize that this was precisely where the Moon Beast's brain was located! It was the place where the Moon Essence resided!
Upon arriving here, the ten thousand zhang Moon Beast suddenly opened its mouth and spat outwards. Wang Lin's body was immediately pushed out by a great force, utterly without any power to resist, and merged into the vortex, disappearing from sight.
Outside the vortex, the large group of Moon Beasts all lay prostrate, motionless.
Inside the vortex, after Wang Lin's body entered this place, his eyes flashed. After he was swallowed by the ten thousand zhang Moon Beast, a strange aura immediately emanated from within the Moon Beast's body. This aura instantly rushed into Wang Lin's body, causing his internal vital energy to immediately stop circulating, as if separated from his Physical Body, turning him from a Cultivator into a complete Mortal!
This scene greatly shocked Wang Lin's mind, but immediately, he sensed that the Ancient God's Leather Armor on his Primordial Spirit emitted a suction force, instantly absorbing that strange aura within his body.
As a result, his internal vital energy resumed its circulation.
Now, being spat out and entering this vortex, after he clearly saw everything around him, he gasped, deeply moved.
This was a long, narrow space. Tentacles extended out from the Void Realm, slowly wriggling. In front of Wang Lin, a great cauldron was entwined by countless tentacles, as if absorbing the aura within it. Lumps wriggled on the tentacles, transmitting into the Void Realm.
This cauldron was precisely the item of Greedy Wolf!
This cauldron only made Wang Lin gasp; what truly moved him were the individuals entwined on the tentacles all around!
These people were all naked and emaciated, including men and women, old and young. They were densely packed, with almost one person on each tentacle!
All these people had their eyes tightly closed, completely devoid of life, like corpses. The tentacles entwining them were clearly continuously absorbing their life force!
Wang Lin didn't recognize any of these people! But he could vaguely sense that not all of them were Cultivators; among them, there were even Mortals!
For example, the boy not far away, who looked to be only six or seven years old, although he was now shriveled and inhuman, from his small body, it could be discerned that he was indeed a child!
At this moment, he was skin and bones, without any sign of life. On his face, an expression of extreme pain and despair was still preserved.
A chill surged from Wang Lin's heart, immediately enveloping his entire body.
His gaze looked towards the depths of this place, where it was boundless. Wang Lin could imagine that further ahead, there must be even more tentacles, and presumably, on each tentacle, there would be an entwined person!
"Moon Beast…" Wang Lin fell silent.
He could guess that these people were all swallowed by the Moon Beast over countless years, thus accumulating and becoming the Moon Beast's source of life.
Wang Lin even had a terrifying thought in his mind.
"That Cloud Mist Star that the Moon Beast transformed into back then… the ruins of those cities on it… Before the Cloud Mist Star, there must have been Cultivators and Mortals. Did they… truly migrate away…?" Wang Lin took a deep breath, a complex look in his eyes.
His gaze remained fixed on the six or seven-year-old boy.
Just then, countless tentacles suddenly appeared in the Void Realm, moving with lightning speed, directly coiling towards Wang Lin. Wang Lin's eyes flickered. If he didn't have the Ancient God's Leather Armor, he would surely be like a Mortal now, completely defenseless, entangled by those tentacles, and die after his life force was drained.
But at this moment, a murderous glint flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. With a movement of his body, he didn't touch those tentacles but dodged with even greater speed, heading straight for the great cauldron in front.
Wang Lin was unwilling to destroy these tentacles unless absolutely necessary; otherwise, if the Moon Beast detected it, there would likely be new actions immediately.
With a rush, the tentacles missed. Wang Lin's body was like ethereal smoke, twisting in an instant to reach the great cauldron. An ancient and profound aura permeated from this great cauldron, spreading all around.
Wang Lin's eyes flickered. Within this great cauldron, the aura was even denser, and the tentacles entwining it only wrapped around the outside, as if unwilling to extend into the cauldron.
At this moment, behind Wang Lin, countless tentacles reappeared in the Void Realm, heading straight for Wang Lin. Without hesitation, Wang Lin directly drilled into the great cauldron. The moment he entered, at the distant entrance, the giant vortex suddenly erupted with a powerful expulsion force.
Immediately after, the delicate figure of a woman appeared in the vortex. Her face was pale, and her eyes were tightly closed, clearly having lost consciousness. As soon as she appeared, half of the tentacles rushing towards Wang Lin swiftly coiled around her, directly wrapping her up and continuously absorbing her life force.
The moment Wang Lin fell into the cauldron, he clearly saw the woman's appearance. This woman was precisely Yao Bingyun!
Yao Bingyun's clothes showed signs of corrosion as the tentacles entwined her, and even her Storage Pouch could not escape, collapsing.
At this moment, Yao Bingyun's clothes were torn, revealing large areas of her skin. Her eyelashes trembled, and at this instant, she opened her eyes… —
