Chapter 2974: So You Wanted to Control Me

Since beginning his cultivation, few things could truly shock Lin Moyu. His personality also meant he wasn't easily startled. Usually, it was his actions that shocked others.

But this time, Lin Moyu was genuinely shocked.

He saw the soul of an Outer God, identical to the Outer God he had seen before. The difference was that he had previously seen its physical body, but now he was seeing its soul.

The soul brought an even stronger feeling of disgust than the physical body.

Upon seeing the Outer God's soul, Lin Moyu finally realized where he was.

He was inside the Outer God's soul world. The soul world of an Outer God was very different from that of cultivators from the Origin Continent, which is why Lin Moyu hadn't noticed at first.

But now, he was completely certain.

The Outer God had deliberately lured him close, then brought him into its soul world.

Beside the Outer God's soul was a semi-illusory divine beast.

This divine beast had the upper body of a rat and the lower body of a scorpion, with nine tails swaying behind it.

Nine tails meant this divine beast had reached the ninth level of Dao Venerable.

Apart from the number of tails and realm, it was identical to the five-tailed scorpion rats.

Lin Moyu also noticed that this nine-tailed scorpion rat was more illusory, as if it had almost lost its physical form. If it could grow one more tail, it might truly enter the realm of illusion, completely shedding its physical form.

Nine tails meant the ninth level of Dao Venerable; ten tails would likely mean the Dao Realm.

In front of them were ten mountains of flesh, constantly pulsating like beating hearts, looking grotesque and nauseating.

The flesh mountains were shaped like volcanoes, with large circular mouths constantly erupting. Each eruption produced a five-tailed scorpion rat.

Lin Moyu now understood how the five-tailed scorpion rats appeared.

This divine beast was indeed special, capable of creating subordinates.

Although the created subordinates weren't strong individually, their large numbers made them terrifying.

But all this wasn't the full extent of what shocked Lin Moyu.

In the soul world lay two people.

They were two human powerhouses. One was completely sealed in thick ice, while the other was engulfed in flames.

They were the true source of Lin Moyu's shock.

Both were Dao Realm powerhouses, emitting terrifying auras that made it impossible to approach.

But Lin Moyu could see that they were actually dead.

Only their corpses remained; their souls had long since departed.

However, Lin Moyu didn't know what method they had used to continue protecting their physical bodies with dao power even after death.

Beyond his shock, Lin Moyu was also puzzled about why the corpses of two Dao Realm beings were here.

At the same time, he wondered why he was here.

The look in the Outer God's eyes when it saw him had been partly excited, and it had deliberately lured him close and brought him here.

His thoughts raced, and Lin Moyu quickly considered a possibility.

Only this possibility seemed to fit logically.

The Outer God wanted to control him, use him to break the formation composed of ice and fire dao stones, allowing it to escape.

The formation of ice and fire dao stones, beyond the ninth grade, prevented the Outer God from moving.

If its divine beast went out, it would also be targeted.

The divine beast's strength hadn't reached the Dao Realm. Even with illusory power, once targeted by the grand formation, it would likely not survive.

The Dao Realm corpses, protected by dao power, couldn't be manipulated.

So when Lin Moyu entered, the Outer God was excited, thinking it could be rescued.

But was that really the case?

A hint of killing intent flashed in Lin Moyu's eyes. "I came to kill you, how did it turn into me coming to save you?"

He shouted, and the Dragon Rider Legion charged forward in overwhelming numbers.

The Bloody Charge activated, turning the undead army into a sea of blood, surging forward like massive waves.

The Outer God remained motionless, its eyes showing a hint of disdain.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat moved. Its nine huge tails suddenly grew enormously, each reaching tens of thousands of meters in length, sweeping across.

Immense power accompanied the giant tails as they pressed down. The sea of blood immediately collapsed. The Dragon Rider Legion, only at the third level of Dao Venerable, was no match for the nine-tailed scorpion rat.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat wiped out the Dragon Rider Legion in one sweep, letting out excited shrieks. Its nine tails raised high, sharp stingers aimed at Lin Moyu.

Those shrieks and the glinting stingers seemed to be mocking Lin Moyu for overestimating himself.

The five-tailed scorpion rats produced by the flesh mountains were just its toys.

Lin Moyu's gaze was cold, completely disregarding the nine-tailed scorpion rat's threat.

He raised the Calamity Scepter high, its balance gem glowing brightly, illuminating the surroundings.

A halo appeared around the nine-tailed scorpion rat, and its power began to plummet rapidly.

Not just the nine-tailed scorpion rat, but even the Outer God's power was decreasing.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat showed obvious panic, emitting urgent shrieks.

It could feel its power draining away, and the massive loss of power made it panic.

The Outer God was much calmer. It opened its mouth, and a roar burst forth.

The entire soul world shook and rumbled, impacting Lin Moyu's soul.

The Outer God's roar carried intense soul-shocking power, rushing into Lin Moyu's soul world, directly assaulting his soul body.

Faced with a Dao Realm powerhouse like the Outer God, Lin Moyu's soul seemed incredibly fragile.

At this moment, Lin Moyu felt his soul body was like a leaf swaying in the wind, completely defenseless.

Lin Moyu knew what the other party was trying to do - destroy his soul, leaving only his physical shell.

Then it would control his physical body to break the formation's seal and escape.

Faced with the Dao Realm's soul shock, Lin Moyu almost instinctively wanted to take the Dao Immortality Pill.

At this time, even the World Tree was as defenseless as he was. Only the Dao Immortality Pill could keep his soul from being destroyed.

Suddenly, the soul gem flashed brightly, and an earthy yellow light surged from his soul body.

The light enveloped his soul body, firmly blocking the Outer God's attack.

His soul remained unaffected in the boundless gale.

The soul gem's sudden display of power saved Lin Moyu a Dao Immortality Pill.

The Outer God roared again, but seeing Lin Moyu unharmed, it showed a hint of surprise.

Then, the wings behind its soul body began to vibrate frantically, its entire soul glowing.

As the wings moved, Lin Moyu realized it didn't just have one pair of wings, but two.

Before this, its physical body clearly only had one pair of wings, but its soul body had two pairs. The two weren't consistent.

This indicated that one pair of wings on its physical body had been cut off.

As the wings vibrated, the Outer God's soul body flashed with strong light, actually stopping its realm from dropping further.

The power of the balance gem was blocked.

But the divine beast wasn't so lucky. While the Outer God had stopped its realm from dropping, the divine beast hadn't.

In the blink of an eye, the divine beast's realm had dropped to the sixth level of Dao Venerable and was still falling.

The divine beast showed panic, no longer daring to attack Lin Moyu. Instead, it fled to the Outer God's side, glaring fiercely at Lin Moyu.

Boom!

Suddenly, ice and fire erupted simultaneously from the Outer God's body. The violent explosion sent the unprepared divine beast flying.

"Chance!" Lin Moyu's eyes lit up brilliantly!
