Chapter 3957: Delivering Essence Across Endless Miles
Having traveled far from the Great Spirit Domain, the Great Dao Desolate Beast King finally detected the Great Dao origin aura from the innate origin treasure and locked onto their location, charging toward them. Little Python still trembled instinctively, but this time it was different from before. Over the years, Little Python had almost never run out of Void Soul Pills; though its realm hadn't changed, the most refined part of the pills' medicinal power had been absorbed by its true spirit. Normally, with so many Void Soul Pills, even a cultivator would have reached the Dao Lord level by now. Little Python's realm remained the same, but it was genuinely growing stronger.
This time, facing the approaching Great Dao Desolate Beast King, Little Python wasn't trembling from fear, but rather from a kind of disgust an intense aversion. It didn't say anything, but its expression and eyes told Lin Moyu just how much it hated the Beast King. This feeling came from its true spirit; it could only mean that in a past life, Little Python had crossed paths with a Great Dao Desolate Beast King. Lin Moyu could thus confirm that Little Python's previous life must have been extraordinary, or its true spirit wouldn't be so strong, nor would it be able to connect with this life in such a special way.
In the distance, the void shattered, and the Beast King's true form appeared. A colossal creature burst out from a rift, and in that instant, Lin Moyu caught a glimpse of another world countless soul flames burning, each representing a Great Dao Desolate Beast, innumerable and endless. Where Daos converged and filth accumulated, endless Desolate Beasts were born. Their homeland was a terrifying place even the Lord of Curses would be defeated and forced into dormancy there. That was not a place Lin Moyu could touch; just one glance filled him with a sense of immense danger.
The Beast King's soul charged out from its homeland, breaking through the barrier between reality and the Soul Void. Its fierce, murderous eyes locked onto the Redstone in front of Lin Moyu, drawn by the Great Dao origin aura within. Suddenly, its gaze shifted to the bottle in Lin Moyu's hand the bottle made from desolate beast essence, containing a single drop of freshly fused Great Dao origin aura.
"Roar!" The Beast King let out an angry roar, its eyes filled with greed. Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat it was the drop of pure Great Dao origin aura that attracted it even more than the massive Redstone. Now he understood: "Although both are Great Dao origin aura, the Redstone's aura is already attributed mainly the Crimson Blood Great Dao while my fused drop is truly pure, with no attributes, making it even more attractive to the Beast King."
Just from the change in its gaze, Lin Moyu understood the cause and effect. The Beast King lunged, its eyes firing two beams one at Lin Moyu, the other at Little Python. Desolate beasts are violent, destroying everything in their path.
Little Python shrieked, "Be careful!" Even though it was afraid, it didn't retreat a step without Lin Moyu's order.
The Sword Dao Lich flew out, transforming into a giant sword to shield them. The Beast King's attack struck the sword, causing it to tremble, but it didn't give way.
Lin Moyu shouted, his aura surging.
Origin Secret Art: Gather Power!
In a blink, he broke through to that mysterious realm.
"Great Dao World Extinguishing Palm!"
He struck, the palm print sweeping through the void. Though outwardly calm, it hid a storm of power within. The Beast King didn't take it seriously and charged head on. When they collided, the Beast King let out a miserable scream its soul shattered on the spot. One palm didn't kill it, but it was half dead. Now, fear finally appeared in its eyes, and it instinctively tried to flee.
"Great Dao World Extinguishing Palm!"
Another palm struck, sweeping through the void, giving the Beast King no chance to escape it was killed instantly. After two strikes, Lin Moyu's soul collapsed and was reborn three times in purple light.
Once, Lin Moyu could only run from a Beast King; now, he could kill one effortlessly the difference was unimaginable.
Little Python cheered, "That's what you get for roaring! In front of Master, who do you think you are? Serves you right!" It was really just flattering Lin Moyu, but he didn't mind; the fact that Little Python could hold its ground was already impressive.
After the Beast King died, it left behind a mass of Beast King essence, far stronger and more radiant than ordinary desolate beast essence. Lin Moyu's soul flame began refining it. The process was slower than with ordinary essence, but he wasn't in a hurry, slowly shaping it.
Half a day later, a beautiful treasure bottle was formed. Lin Moyu sensed it: "The internal space is about a hundred times larger, and the quality is much higher. It can preserve Great Dao origin aura for much longer at least ten thousand years without significant loss."
Beast King essence was indeed far superior one bottle equaled a hundred regular ones. Lin Moyu wished more Beast Kings would show up so he could collect more essence.
From then on, Lin Moyu was busier than ever, constantly risking death to master more Daos and fuse even stronger origin aura. He died and revived again and again, gradually improving, and the origin aura he fused became ever stronger. The number of bottles in his possession grew, each filled with Great Dao origin aura.
From time to time, more desolate beasts would arrive about one a month, and every year or so, a Beast King would break through the void to "deliver" its essence from countless miles away. The number of desolate beasts dying to Lin Moyu increased, and he sensed that his karmic ties with them were growing deeper. But he had no choice he needed their essence and couldn't back down for the sake of karma.
He also kept the Redstone Emperor's warning in mind: never take out more than ten pieces of treasure at once, or he might attract a Desolate Beast Emperor. Those are on par with eternal beings if one came, he'd have to run, and even then, escape wasn't guaranteed.
Fifty years later, he was halfway to his destination. Lin Moyu glanced to the left the direction of the Jianmu Great Spirit Domain. Originally, he'd planned to refine Void Soul Pills and trade them there for materials, but now, that was less urgent. If he could improve his Great Dao origin aura, making it attribute specific, he could create something akin to innate origin treasures, summon Elemental Liches, or even merge it into the Great World to form a new Dao.
If successful, he wouldn't need to trade for materials at Jianmu. He remained wary of the Human Sovereign and the Woodkill World Lord neither were easy to deal with.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in his soul: "Dao Friend, please wait!"
