Chapter 2976: At Least You Have Some Conscience

Lin Moyu had limited time. He needed to kill the nine-tailed scorpion rat while the Outer God was preoccupied, otherwise it would be troublesome.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat seemed to know this too, and it fled desperately.

All nine tails had been smashed off and were regenerating. The flesh balls on its head were all consumed, greatly reducing its resistance to the balance gem. Its realm began to drop again.

The balance gem used Lin Moyu as the standard, pulling the nine-tailed scorpion rat's realm towards the second level of Dao Venerable.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat's escape speed was imperceptibly decreasing.

Lin Moyu manipulated the Time Dao to buy himself more time. Combined with recklessly activating his undead wings, his speed far surpassed the nine-tailed scorpion rat's.

In just a few seconds, Lin Moyu had caught up to the nine-tailed scorpion rat.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat kept changing directions, trying to dodge.

Lin Moyu pointed, and a red light flashed.

Technique: Time Curse!

This long-unused technique became the final straw that broke the nine-tailed scorpion rat's back.

Under the Time Curse, the nine-tailed scorpion rat momentarily froze.

It fell into a state of temporal confusion for an instant, though the entire process lasted less than 0.1 seconds.

But for Lin Moyu, 0.1 seconds was enough to do many things.

The Calamity Scepter struck down like lightning, hitting the nine-tailed scorpion rat squarely on the head.

The ten flesh balls exploded, and the nine-tailed scorpion rat's head was smashed like tofu by the Calamity Scepter.

But this wasn't enough. Lin Moyu swung the scepter dozens of times in an instant.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat was quite large, and Lin Moyu didn't spare any flesh, smashing it thoroughly from head to tail.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat reacted midway, but with most of its body already pulverized, it couldn't escape.

Its body became illusory as it tried to save itself through dematerialization.

Unfortunately, the Calamity Scepter didn't care whether its target was solid or illusory; it smashed all the same.

The nine-tailed scorpion rat's attempt at self-preservation was doomed to fail.

As the nine-tailed scorpion rat was completely destroyed, Lin Moyu felt all his previously sealed techniques recover.

The disappearance of the seals meant the nine-tailed scorpion rat was dead.

Along with the seals, the feeling of disgust also vanished.

This confirmed at the dao level that the nine-tailed scorpion rat had indeed been killed.

A roar sounded in his ears. The Outer God, still under attack from the ice and fire dao, seemed to sense its divine beast had been killed and was incredibly angry.

This anger was different from any before, truly genuine rage carrying endless killing intent.

Lin Moyu sensed a deeper meaning in its anger and sneered, "Your plan has failed!"

The ability to control him wasn't the Outer God's, but the nine-tailed scorpion rat's power.

From the moment he entered until now, the Outer God had stood motionless in one spot.

Even when attacked by the ice and fire dao, the Outer God hadn't moved an inch.

This was very unreasonable. Lin Moyu guessed that the Outer God's soul, like its body, was also being controlled.

The ones controlling it were very likely the corpses of those two Dao Realm powerhouses.

Looking at it this way, it was hard to say whether these two corpses were brought here by the Outer God or if they came voluntarily.

In this situation, apart from using its roar for soul attacks, the Outer God had no other abilities.

So Lin Moyu was 80% certain that the one able to manipulate him must have been the nine-tailed scorpion rat.

Now that the nine-tailed scorpion rat was dead, the Outer God's plan had completely failed. How could it not be furious?

Not only had this plan failed, but without any unexpected changes, it might never be able to escape.

The soul gem on the Calamity Scepter flickered, absorbing all of the nine-tailed scorpion rat's soul.

However, the soul gem didn't keep this soul for itself alone. It divided the soul into three parts: one for itself, one for the balance gem, and one for the elemental gem.

Among the three gems on the Calamity Scepter, only the elemental gem hadn't shown any activity yet. Even Lin Moyu didn't know what it could do.

Another roar sounded, transforming into a soul shock wave rushing towards Lin Moyu.

The soul gem lit up in response, forming a yellow halo that protected Lin Moyu.

This time, Lin Moyu wasn't affected at all.

Lin Moyu chuckled, "At least you have some conscience."

The soul gem's sudden action to actively protect Lin Moyu from the soul shock made him feel as if it was in a particularly good mood and thus willing to help him out.

Otherwise, it would only act if his soul was in mortal danger.

Turning to look, he saw the Outer God staring at him with furious eyes, its gaze filled with killing intent as if it wanted to kill him countless times over.

This was understandable, after all, he had killed the nine-tailed scorpion rat, cutting off its hope of escape.

The ice and fire on the Outer God's body had receded. Its soul was patched black and white, marks left by the ice and fire dao, but these marks were fading.

Enveloped in the earthy yellow light of the soul gem, Lin Moyu flew towards the Outer God.

The Outer God roared continuously, sending waves of soul shocks crashing towards him, but they were all blocked by the yellow halo, unable to cause Lin Moyu any harm.

Finally, the Outer God seemed to tire of roaring, or perhaps realized its soul attacks were useless against Lin Moyu. Gradually, it stopped roaring.

Though it closed its mouth, the killing intent in its eyes didn't diminish at all.

Lin Moyu flew to the front of the Outer God but was blocked when he was about a hundred meters away.

It was the Outer God's protective divine light. Its soul, like its body, had a protective divine light.

Those of insufficient realm couldn't approach it, let alone harm it.

This Outer God was stronger than the one in the Thunder Secret Realm. To approach it required even more powerful strength.

Back then, Lin Moyu had used a Dao Immortality Pill to forcibly raise his realm to the ninth level of Dao Venerable to kill it.

But this time, Lin Moyu wasn't sure. He didn't know if raising his realm to the ninth level of Dao Venerable would be enough to approach the Outer God.

Perhaps the ninth level of Dao Venerable might not be enough!

But with the arrow on the bowstring, he had to shoot. Whether it would work or not, he had to try.

He tossed a Dao Immortality Pill into his mouth, and a special origin aura emanated from Lin Moyu's body.

Origin Technique: Gather Strength!

In an instant, endless power gathered from the undead army towards him. Lin Moyu's realm rose rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Moyu's realm reached the sixth level of Dao Venerable.

With a sound like shattering glass, the bottleneck between the sixth and seventh levels of Dao Venerable was broken by the immense power, and Lin Moyu's realm continued to rise.

Seventh level, eighth level, ninth level, peak of the ninth level!

Lin Moyu's realm reached the peak of the ninth level of Dao Venerable, but this was only a realm increase. His comprehension of the dao still remained at the second level of Dao Venerable.

But this didn't matter. He activated his Power Dao true body, instantly transforming into a ten-meter giant.

The advantage of the Power Dao true body showed at this moment. He didn't need to comprehend any dao to command this explosive increase in power through the Power Dao.

Lin Moyu broke through the Outer God's protective divine light and charged forward with murderous intent, wielding the Calamity Scepter.
