“Has the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast truly died or not?”

Lin Moyu's heart trembled violently; if his guess was correct, then things were likely to become troublesome.

Sweeping his gaze, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be writing on a cliff not far away.

He flew over immediately, hoping the writing there would clarify his doubts and help him find a way to leave.

There was indeed writing, and it wasn't just in one place; it was all the work of the same person.

Lin Moyu searched it over and over, reading all the writing on the cliff, and finally understood the cause and effect, as well as the method for his departure.

He was indeed inside the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast, and the entrance to Area 10-03 was precisely the mouth of the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

They were food that had delivered itself to its doorstep.

The Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast was a terrifying creature summoned by the Soul Spirit Realm using the power of the entire realm.

It existed between the real and the illusory, its physical body appearing both present and absent, while its soul was incomparably powerful.

To kill it, one could only destroy its soul.

And its soul was hidden within an independent space inside its body; it could not be killed from the outside, only from within.

That general had abandoned his physical body, fought his way into the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast's body, and broke into the independent space.

He and the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast both suffered heavy injuries, nearly perishing together.

After being heavily injured, the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast fell into an endless slumber and had not truly died.

After being severely wounded, the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast hid in the deepest part of the independent space and did not appear again.

At that time, the general had already suffered critical injuries, his soul was on the verge of collapse, and he could not escape.

Before dying, he used his last ounce of strength to leave behind the method to kill the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

Lin Moyu was currently in the independent space inside the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

And the heavily injured soul of the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast was at the bottom of the water pool.

These were not the most critical points; the most critical point was that if Lin Moyu wanted to leave, he had to enter the bottom of the water pool and kill the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

Any person or object that entered the body of the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast could leave freely before entering the independent space.

Once they passed through the wind tunnel and entered the independent space, they could no longer leave.

That wind tunnel was actually the passage through which the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast absorbed energy from the outside world.

For countless years, it had been continuously absorbing energy from the outside world to sustain its life, hoping that one day its wounds would heal and it would awaken again.

Lin Moyu returned to the sphere of light supported by Xiaobao, and Xiaobao immediately asked, "How did it go? Is there a way to leave?"

Clearly, it had grown tired of staying here and also wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Or rather, it missed its master.

Lin Moyu nodded, "There is indeed a way to leave, but it is very difficult."

He added a sentence in his heart, "No matter how difficult it is, I must do it."

He did not want to be trapped here and die; although the difficulty was high, he had no choice but to do it.

Xiaobao said, "The young master also used to say it was very difficult."

The young master Xiaobao spoke of was one of the three souls currently present.

Lin Moyu did not know the name of this young master, but it was not important.

Lin Moyu asked, "Xiaobao, why did you come here?"

Xiaobao, having no guile and trusting Lin Moyu completely, said, "The young master seemed to have seen ancient ruins somewhere and said there was a very powerful Starry Sky Behemoth here. As long as we killed it, we could obtain its Star Core and have a chance to step into the Other Shore Realm."

"The young master has been stuck at the peak of the God Venerable Realm for a long time and has always wanted to enter the Other Shore Realm, but has never been able to succeed."

Hearing Xiaobao say this, Lin Moyu understood.

Being stuck at the peak of the God Venerable Realm for a long time, with a chance to step into the Other Shore Realm, one naturally would not let it go.

Seekers of the Dao are willing to risk their lives for it.

Xiaobao's voice became lower and somewhat sorrowful, "The young master is so pitiful; not only did he fail to step into the Other Shore Realm, but he also almost died here."

Lin Moyu thought to himself, "It's not 'almost,' he is already dead."

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be trapped here forever and would never be able to get out.

When time ran out, the soul would decay, and at that point, it would be scattered into ashes.

Xiaobao seemed not at all worried about what would happen to itself, but instead worried about its young master.

It truly was a loyal and affectionate artifact spirit.

Lin Moyu said, "I will go and try; if I succeed, I will take you out."

Xiaobao's phantom body twisted violently, and its voice became excited, "Really?"

Lin Moyu said, as if coaxing a child, "Really."

Xiaobao whispered, "Then you must also be careful, okay? If there is danger, run back, and Xiaobao will protect you."

Lin Moyu was amused by Xiaobao and laughed, "Alright."

After speaking, Lin Moyu flew out of the light sphere and plunged into the water pool.

The soul gem on the scepter of calamity suddenly lit up, emitting an unprecedentedly strong light.

The strong light enveloped Lin Moyu in layers, firmly protecting him.

The previous points of light and the clear water here could both cause damage to the soul.

The points of light could weaken the connection between the soul and the physical body, making the soul become sluggish and lose its spirituality.

The clear water here, however, could corrode the soul and completely dissolve it.

The soul beasts in the clear water would directly cause fatal damage to the soul.

Here, without the protection of the soul gem, even if Lin Moyu had a soul of the Other Shore Realm, it would be very troublesome.

With it, surviving the wind tunnel was not a problem, and he could also withstand the corrosion of the clear water.

If he encountered too many soul beasts, he would likewise be surrounded and killed.

The Fifth-Grade Purple Jade Soul of the Other Shore Realm was very strong, much stronger than the Fourth-grade Soul of the God Venerable Realm; it was an all-around transcendence, but it had not yet reached a heaven-defying level.

The Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast, having gathered the power of an entire realm, was the true representative of a powerful soul; even if it was heavily injured and sleeping, it was not something a Fifth-Grade Purple Jade Soul could compare to.

Lin Moyu deeply felt that those powerhouses from the ancient era were truly terrifying.

Lin Moyu continued to sink in the water pool, heading towards the location indicated by the ancient general.

Waves rippled through the water pool, the water churned, and soul beasts flew over one after another to attack.

To them, Lin Moyu was an outsider, an invader, and had to be eliminated.

The soul gem released a powerful sphere of light, blocking the attacks of the soul beasts.

The soul beasts crashed into the yellow sphere of light; the sphere of light remained motionless, while the soul beasts were sent flying back.

Some soul beasts opened their huge mouths to bite down, but ended up with their mouths splitting, and subsequently, their entire bodies exploded.

The defense formed by the soul gem was much stronger than Xiaobao's defense.

It not only blocked the attacks but also had a certain counter-damage ability, and many soul beasts were injured by the recoil.

The number of soul beasts was indeed very large, so many that they were countless.

Everywhere his gaze reached, there were nothing but soul beasts.

Various kinds of soul beasts continuously launched attacks at Lin Moyu.

Unfortunately, no matter how fierce their attacks were, they could not stop Lin Moyu.

Until Lin Moyu reached the bottom of the water pool and passed through an object similar to a thin membrane, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Chapter 1471: Since There Is a Mountain, Then Climb to the Summit

The clear water that could corrode the soul was gone, and the soul beasts had also disappeared.

Lin Moyu arrived at his destination, which was precisely the final hiding place of the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

A huge soul beast was lying not far away.

The soul beast had a massive form, and its body was covered with all kinds of plants, including flowers, grass, and some large trees.

The flowers and grass that Lin Moyu had seen when he first entered could all be found on the body of the soul beast.

The head of the soul beast looked a bit like a lion and a bit like a tiger; it seemed to be constantly changing, and one could not say for sure what it was.

Lin Moyu knew that this was the characteristic of the soul beast; one could not see its true appearance at all.

It was the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast, the ancestor of all soul beasts.

All the soul beasts in the water pool were formed from its thoughts.

"If this guy wakes up, it will be a great catastrophe for the entire Great World."

Lin Moyu was not a saint, but for a guy like this, once it woke up, the entire Great World, including the human race, would suffer.

Lin Moyu did not know if there was anyone in the current Great World who could stop it.

The best method was to let it die forever.

The method to kill it had already been written very clearly by that general.

Lin Moyu's gaze fell onto its neck; a huge sword was stuck in the neck of the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

This sword was also a soul magic treasure; back then, that general had used this sword to heavily injure the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

What Lin Moyu needed to do was pull this sword out and then strike the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast's head with it.

It didn't need much, just one strike would be enough.

This sword had already heavily injured the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast; it was only a hair's breadth away from killing it.

The sword contained the will of that general, and it was precisely the general's will that made it difficult for the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast's wounds to heal.

Just one more strike would be enough to kill the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

It was just a pity that the general had paid the price with his life for this sword strike back then.

In the end, the general still failed.

The body of the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast existed between the real and the illusory and did not have a true physical form.

As long as it was killed, its body would naturally collapse, and at that time, he would also be able to escape.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Moyu flew towards the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast.

The Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast, which had remained motionless all along, suddenly began to move.

The plants on its body grew crazily, and a large amount of pollen flew out from the flowers, drifting towards Lin Moyu.

The pollen drifted to Lin Moyu's side and exploded with a boom.

The intense explosion brought a terrifying soul shock; a Fourth-grade Soul of the God Venerable Realm would be instantly killed under such an impact.

Even a Fifth-Grade Purple Jade Soul would not be able to last long.

The defense formed by the soul gem blocked the explosion, and Lin Moyu was not affected in the slightest.

The small grass on the back of the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast grew crazily, instantly growing into vines, turning into a soul-striking whip that lashed out.

The yellow sphere of light showed a slight deformation, but that was all.

Enduring the attacks, Lin Moyu approached rapidly.

Lin Moyu knew that it had not awakened; it had only sensed the approach of danger and made an instinctive reaction.

A powerful soul would have an instinctive reaction to danger.

Even he had this ability, let alone the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast, whose soul strength was unknown.

Lin Moyu was getting closer and closer to the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast, and the attacks he received became increasingly powerful.

Every attack could easily kill a God Venerable soul and heavily injure a Fifth-Grade Purple Jade Soul of the Other Shore Realm.

Lin Moyu knew that if he relied solely on the ability of his own soul, he could at most withstand ten attacks; he would not be able to reach the front of the Soul Spirit Ancestral Beast at all.
