Chapter 3016: Hesitate for a Moment, Life and Death Apart
The powerful phenomenon caused by Little Five's breakthrough exceeded Lin Moyu's imagination.
Both the Cause and Effect Dao and Little Five's true body projection affected the entire world of the fifth level.
All cultivators in the fifth level could see the phenomenon.
Whether the Cause and Effect Dao or the Soul Progenitor Beast, both would arouse the covetousness of countless people.
Lin Moyu couldn't stop others from coming to cause trouble, he could only prepare.
Little Five was still breaking through and couldn't be disturbed. Lin Moyu wouldn't show mercy to anyone who came to disturb.
Just fifteen minutes after the phenomenon appeared, Lin Moyu sensed people coming.
Three people were coming from different directions, all fourth-level Dao Venerables.
In the fifth level, fourth-level Dao Venerables were the majority, with third-level being the minority.
Three fourth-level Dao Venerable beasts came from different directions, getting closer and closer.
Among the three, one was a Dao Venerable from the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan, while the other two were from other clans.
The phenomenon projected by Little Five became their best guide, and they came straight towards Little Five.
A hundred Skeleton Kings had already completed their defense ten thousand meters away.
The three approaching Dao Venerables first saw the tall Skeleton Kings, then Little Five.
The moment they saw Little Five, their gazes were all drawn to her.
"Soul Progenitor Beast!"
Without exception, all three showed greed in their eyes.
The temptation of a Soul Progenitor Beast was too great for them, or more accurately, the temptation of the Cause and Effect Dao was too great.
The temptation was so great that they overlooked the existence of the Skeleton Kings.
"Only at second-level Dao Venerable, yet already activating the Cause and Effect Dao in her bloodline. This Soul Progenitor Beast is one with a powerful bloodline even among Soul Progenitor Beasts."
"To think a Soul Progenitor Beast would come here and even break through, how unexpected."
"Quick, act now, or someone else will beat us to it!"
The three had their own thoughts. The Dao Venerable from the Lightning Purple-Striped Tigers hesitated a bit, knowing how spots for the ancestral grounds were distributed.
Those who got spots to enter here were surely friends or acquaintances of clan members.
He wasn't clear about Little Five's background. If this Soul Progenitor Beast belonged to a fellow clan Dao Venerable, his actions would bring unnecessary trouble.
By clan rules, if this Dao Venerable was a seventh-level elder, he would be dead for sure.
But the other two Dao Venerables weren't Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan members, so they naturally didn't care about these things. They acted directly, afraid of losing the opportunity.
The two exchanged glances, wary of each other, while charging towards Little Five.
They released powerful forces, attacking the Skeleton Kings simultaneously.
To approach Little Five, they first had to break through the Skeleton Kings' defense.
Lin Moyu murmured softly, "Kill."
Burning some belief power, two Skeleton Kings' power instantly strengthened.
The Skeleton Kings swung their swords simultaneously, Dao technique: Blood Kill!
As the sword light flashed, both Dao Venerables cried out.
Huge wounds burst open on their bodies, blood spraying, severely injured on the spot.
The two flew back in horror, instantly retreating a hundred thousand meters, not daring to approach.
The Skeleton Kings' Dao technique directly triggered the target's blood energy to attack. The stronger the blood energy, the greater the power.
The two beasts' blood energy was originally not weak. Attacked by Blood Kill, their blood energy exploded, causing severe damage.
Plus, Lin Moyu used belief power to enhance the Skeleton Kings' Dao technique power.
With one strike, the two fourth-level Dao Venerables were almost instantly killed.
However, this was also because the two hadn't used their Dao true bodies. If they had used their Dao true bodies, stabilizing their blood energy, the amount of blood energy the Skeleton Kings could detonate would be greatly reduced, and the effect wouldn't have been so good.
Unfortunately, they were completely focused on Little Five, not paying attention to the Skeleton Kings at all.
The Skeleton Kings were too special. Before they acted, it was very difficult to discern their true combat power.
So the Skeleton Kings were overlooked by them, and they paid a heavy price for it.
The two were severely injured and didn't dare approach again.
They looked at each other, with some relief.
They both knew they had lost the chance to compete for the Soul Progenitor Beast, but being able to keep their lives was already quite lucky.
But could they really keep their lives?
Two more Skeleton Kings raised their bone swords, Dao technique: Blood Kill!
The two who had just escaped death suddenly felt danger descend, a sense of death arising from the depths of their hearts.
Their faces changed drastically, but it was too late.
Two more sword lights flashed on their bodies simultaneously. Their bodies exploded, dying on the spot.
The Skeleton Kings flew over rapidly, bringing back their broken half-bodies.
The Skeleton Kings killed and took the corpses, returning to their positions. The whole process was incredibly smooth and natural, as if they had done this countless times.
The Dao Venerable from the Lightning Purple-Striped Tigers stared blankly at this scene.
In just a few seconds, two fourth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses of the same level as him had died.
They died so quickly, without any hesitation.
The ones who acted were these somewhat strange puppets.
He never imagined these skeleton puppets could be so powerful, powerful enough to instantly kill fourth-level Dao Venerables.
If he had also acted, he would probably be a corpse now too.
He was grateful he had hesitated for a moment. This moment of hesitation had saved his life.
A Soul Progenitor Beast was good, but one needed to be alive to benefit.
If one lost their life, what use was a Soul Progenitor Beast or the Cause and Effect Dao?
Two Dao Venerables dying before him startled him, and he immediately retreated ten thousand meters.
He carefully observed the Skeleton Kings, looking for their master.
He was certain the Skeleton Kings were puppets, and puppets must have a controller.
The Soul Progenitor Beast was breaking through and couldn't be the controller, so the controller must be someone else.
Finally, he saw someone standing not far from Little Five.
"A human, a second-level Dao Venerable human!!"
"Are these puppets his? Is the Soul Progenitor Beast his too?"
He was somewhat confused, not quite understanding.
In his view, Lin Moyu was only a second-level Dao Venerable being. How could he possess such powerful puppets?
Then he suddenly realized something.
Lin Moyu stood there, bombarded by divine thunder, not only unharmed but without even feeling anything.
Even he, with fourth-level Dao Venerable cultivation, couldn't be unaffected by divine thunder.
This was the fifth level. The divine thunder of the fifth level corresponded to fourth-level Dao Venerable.
This mere second-level Dao Venerable human, Lin Moyu, actually regarded divine thunder as nothing.
Actually, besides Lin Moyu and Little Five, there was also Little Mist, a first-level Dao Venerable.
But Little Mist was too inconspicuous and was directly overlooked.
He still couldn't believe Lin Moyu could be so strong. Suddenly, Lin Moyu turned to look at him, then flew over.
The moment Lin Moyu's gaze fell on him, he suddenly felt his heart pounding, as if targeted by some ancient fierce beast. He almost turned to flee.
But after all, he was a fourth-level Dao Venerable. He quickly calmed himself down.
Lin Moyu came before him, "Human Lin Moyu, may I ask how to address you?"
Lin Moyu didn't call him senior, seeming somewhat impolite and assertive.
But the other clearly didn't care about this point and replied, "I am Lei Zhong Hu, greetings to Fellow Daoist Lin."
