 Chapter 3312: The Great Karma Between the Buddhist and Insect Races

It turned out that it wasn't that Withering and Flourishing Elder didn't want to use the Soul-Devouring Bug, but that even he feared it.

Lin Moyu became even more cautious. Originally, these formations weren't particularly difficult for him, just ancient enough to have some research value.

Now, he became more careful, and his speed in breaking the formations slowed significantly.

It was fine to go slower, but nothing could go wrong.

The fact that the Soul-Devouring Bug could be trapped in a formation indicated that its raw power wasn't very strong.

The real trouble with the Soul-Devouring Bug lay elsewhere: first, it was immune to various attacks; second, it could directly harm the soul, ignoring physical defenses.

Even innate souls of Great Dao realm beings couldn't defend against it.

This characteristic made even the Beast Emperor wary.

Lin Moyu asked the Beast Emperor where the Soul-Devouring Bug came from.

The Beast Emperor's answer surprised Lin Moyu—he didn't know where the Soul-Devouring Bug originated.

This also suggested one thing: the Soul-Devouring Bug wasn't a product of the Origin Continent.

Back during the Origin Catastrophe, the Soul-Devouring Bug only appeared much later. Lin Moyu could only speculate whether it came from another world.

As Lin Moyu unraveled the formations, he continued chatting with the Beast Emperor.

Talking with the Beast Emperor was far better than dealing with the sly Three Ancestors.

From the Beast Emperor, Lin Moyu could gain a lot of information.

And this information was something the Three Ancestors wouldn't share. Even if they did, it would come at a price.

That's how businessmen were—everything was about money.

Now that Lin Moyu had occupied a large piece of land in the Western Continent, in terms of territory size, it was no less than that of the Dragon or Insect races and only slightly smaller than that of the Buddhist race.

It could be considered one of four major powers. As for the remaining Dao Venerables in the Hundred Herbs Alliance, while their combat power wasn't weak, they no longer had any territory.

Neither the Dragon Race nor the Insect Race were easy to deal with.

Now that he had become one of the four major powers in the Western Continent, Lin Moyu naturally needed to understand more about the other three powers.

Previously, his understanding of the Buddhist, Dragon, and Insect races all came from information provided by the Three Ancestors.

This time was a good opportunity to ask the Beast Emperor and see his perspective.

By cross-referencing information, he could get more accurate insights.

The Beast Emperor didn't hold back. He spoke as if chatting with an old friend, sharing what he knew.

The Buddhist and Insect races were indeed not native to the Origin Continent.

To be precise, while Buddhist traditions didn't originate from the Origin Continent, its people were natives of this land.

So technically, they could be considered half-native to the Origin Continent.

The Insect Race, however, had no connection to the Origin Continent. They came from elsewhere entirely.

Lin Moyu was puzzled by this. "The Dragon Race is native to the Origin Continent and so powerful. Why didn't they wipe out the Insect Race? I think they should have had that ability."

The Dragon and Insect races seemed like mortal enemies. Yet for some reason, the Dragon Race hadn't eradicated them completely. This didn't make sense.

The Beast Emperor said, "It's not that they don't want to; it's that they can't. The root of this issue runs deep—it involves not only the Origin Catastrophe but also touches on matters of the Great Dao. Even this Emperor only knows a fraction of it. Even if I wanted to tell you, it might not be accurate."

"You can think of it this way: both the Buddhist and Insect races carry immense karma—karma so great that even the entire Dragon Race cannot bear it. So while they have enmity with the Insect Race, they've never considered wiping them out."

Lin Moyu instinctively asked, "Then does their conflict serve to suppress the Insect Race?"

The Beast Emperor said, "Possibly. For more detailed information, perhaps only those in the Dragon Race know."

"When I say 'Dragon Race,' I don't mean those in this continent but those above."

The Dragons in realms beyond were truly in charge. The Dragons on this continent followed their orders.

However, under normal circumstances, Dragons from realms beyond wouldn't interfere with those on this continent.

Presumably, not eradicating the Insect Race was an order left from long ago.

As for why there was such immense karma between the Buddhist and Insect races or what exactly it entailed—the Beast Emperor wasn't clear on that either.

This was yet another mystery for Lin Moyu to unravel in time.

However, Lin Moyu felt fortunate he hadn't made a mistake earlier. At one point, he had considered turning the Insect Race into food for his Skeleton Hell to enhance its power.

Fortunately, he hadn't done so. Karma was something to be cautious about—getting too entangled in it wouldn't do him any good.

If unlucky enough, some karma could even cost lives.

After breaking several formations without finding any sign of a Soul-Devouring Bug:

Lin Moyu laughed and said, "Withering and Flourishing Elder seems quite interested in formations. But knowing his talent isn't great in this area, why did he delve into formations so deeply?"

The Beast Emperor said, "This Emperor doesn't know either. I remember he wasn't initially focused on formations—this seems to have started in recent hundreds of thousands of years."

Withering and Flourishing Elder had come to the Origin Continent long ago. Starting his study of formations hundreds of thousands of years ago and persisting for so long likely wasn't out of mere curiosity.

Lin Moyu understood well that someone like Withering and Flourishing Elder—a Great Dao realm being—wouldn't do anything without purpose.

Spending hundreds of thousands of years studying formations despite lacking talent—and reaching nearly seventh-grade proficiency—must have been for a reason.

After breaking another formation:

Lin Moyu suddenly stopped and said, "I found a Soul-Devouring Bug."

The Beast Emperor asked, "Is it in one of these formations ahead?"

Unlike Lin Moyu, who could see through formations to spot Soul-Devouring Bugs directly:

Lin Moyu projected an image: "Is this it?"

In his projection appeared a plump bug glowing red—a peculiar red resembling blood but not quite. At first glance, it seemed vibrant yet carried an underlying sense of danger.

Half its head was retracted into its body. It had three pairs of sharp claws gleaming coldly under light. Its vibrant red carapace had a small gap down its middle—indicating movable wings beneath it.

Upon seeing this image:

The Beast Emperor immediately confirmed: "Yes! That's it! Judging by its appearance—it seems dormant."

"Is there any way not to wake it? If awakened—it'll attack everyone nearby."

"I'm not afraid—but souls below seventh-level Dao Venerable would likely perish after just two or three bites."

What he described sounded terrifying—seventh-level Dao Venerable souls were already strong but couldn't withstand even two or three bites from this creature!

Lin Moyu didn't doubt him at all: "Isn't there any way to kill this thing?"

The Beast Emperor said: "It's hard—it can immune most Great Dao powers; only specific ones can kill it."

"But each Soul-Devouring Bug fears different Great Dao powers—and I don't know which one scares this particular bug."

"I also don't know how Withering and Flourishing managed to trap it—I have some admiration for him there."

His tone seemed genuinely impressed—it was clear dealing with such creatures caused him significant trouble too!

Lin Moyu noticed something peculiar about how Withering handled things here:

"Withering hasn't actually trapped it—he's just kept it dormant! If disturbed externally—it'll wake up!"

"If it's as terrifying as you say—a single awakening would render these formations useless against containing such power!"

"This formation connects throughout this valley; forcing entry elsewhere would trigger self-destruction across all points—waking everything within—including our sleeping friend here!"

Given such risks:

Breaking through forcefully wasn't an option anymore!

The Beast Emperor's voice grew serious again: "Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Moyu replied calmly: "Let me think…"
