Chapter 3042: 3042 Chapter 3042: The Soul Body Outer God Once the dao lock was completed, unless the opponent had the ability to break the dao lock, there was no way to escape Lin Moyu’s attack. The ability of dao locking required enlightenment. Those with good enlightenment could master it before reaching the Dao Venerable realm. Those with poor enlightenment would need to reach the Great Dao realm to master it. As for breaking the dao lock, many Great Dao realm powerhouses couldn’t do it. The few Outer Gods Lin Moyu had encountered before also couldn’t do it. Boom! The Beast Emperor was blasted away again, this time even more miserably. The tiger he had transformed into almost collapsed on the spot. However, he still managed to block this strike, living up to his word to protect Lin Moyu. As the Beast Emperor was blasted away, Lin Moyu heard a scream. The Fate Sword had slashed the Outer God, cutting away part of its fate. Previously, the Fate Sword had only slashed avatars. Slashing the main body directly had a completely different effect. Lin Moyu could feel that this time, the Outer God’s fate loss was not small. Although fate could be recovered, Lin Moyu wouldn’t give it the chance. "Now that I’ve caught you, don’t think of escaping!" One Fate Sword after another appeared in his hand, continuously slashing out. With the dao lock, the Outer God had nowhere to hide. What Outer Gods hated most was illusory power. Although the Fate Sword couldn’t kill it, it could continuously weaken it, making it extremely uncomfortable. Exasperated screams resounded throughout the entire formation, attracting the attention of many Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan members. Lin Moyu’s will moved, his voice like thunder, "Don’t be distracted, follow orders." The Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan members shuddered, immediately continuing to follow Lin Moyu’s orders, attacking the formation nodes. The Outer God was continuously attacked, making it more difficult to multitask. The avatars evolved from formation nodes became even weaker. The tiger army held an absolute advantage, advancing unstoppably, continuously reclaiming formation nodes. The Beast Emperor flew back again, his shattered body rapidly recovering. He could feel Lin Moyu continuously condensing illusory-type power to attack the Outer God. As for what specific type of illusory power it was, he couldn’t understand. But he could understand how Lin Moyu was attacking the Outer God. The Beast Emperor sighed, "I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Lin to know dao locking!" Lin Moyu’s hands didn’t stop, while he replied, "Lucky, I accidentally comprehended it." The Beast Emperor shook his big tiger head, "This isn’t just about luck." Lin Moyu smiled, "It’s just a matter of sooner or later. Everyone will comprehend it when they reach the Great Dao realm." The Beast Emperor said, "Still, sooner is better!" Lin Moyu chatted with the Beast Emperor, but his hands never stopped. In the blink of an eye, over a thousand Fate Swords had been condensed. Ten Fate Swords, this method of injuring the enemy by a thousand while harming oneself by two hundred, Lin Moyu did without hesitation. He relied on possessing the Fate Dao, not fearing fate consumption. If the consumption was small, it could be recovered in an instant. If the consumption was large, it wouldn’t take too long to recover to peak. Under this continuous consumption, the Outer God finally couldn’t withstand it. The spatial distortion shattered. The Outer God finally emerged from the shattered space. "Finally willing to come out!" This cautious Outer God finally came out with its main body this time. "Be careful!" The Beast Emperor roared, again blocking in front of Lin Moyu. The Outer God let out a scream, an attack violently striking out, landing on the Beast Emperor. The Beast Emperor was blasted away for the third time. This time, except for the tiger head, his entire body was completely shattered. The Beast Emperor, billions of miles away, was no match for the Outer God when crossing such an ultra-long distance space. The small Outer God, carrying killing intent, charged towards Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu wasn’t panicked at all. His mouth slightly opened, casually uttering one word: "Explode!" His fate soared to the sky, rising to the extreme. The Outer God’s body violently exploded! Fate Explosion Technique! Lin Moyu detonated the Outer God’s fate, causing damage with fate. Compared to the Fate Sword, the power of the Fate Explosion Technique was much stronger. With just one strike, it severely injured the Outer God. The Outer God was blasted away in the explosion, then screamed as it tore through space and fled without a trace. Lin Moyu looked in the direction the Outer God fled, not giving chase, but pondering some issues. He had many guesses about the Outer God before. Until he truly saw its main body up close, Lin Moyu finally understood why it was so cautious. It had no physical body. Its illusory main body, woven of light and shadow, was actually a soul body. Lin Moyu had seen Outer God souls before and wouldn’t mistake it. But it was different from ordinary souls. It was special, able to survive on just a soul without needing a physical body. But without a physical body, it was very weak. Great Dao realm beings like the Beast Emperor had enough power to kill it. Even several ninth-level Dao Venerable powerhouses working together might be able to kill it. It was precisely this special form of existence that gave it many strange abilities. Its power needed to borrow external objects to truly manifest. Otherwise, it could only display its might in the soul world. So, it was so eager to occupy the Purple Tiger Pagoda. Only by borrowing the Purple Tiger Pagoda could it exert powerful combat strength. Lin Moyu even imagined that just the Purple Tiger Pagoda might not be enough. After occupying the Purple Tiger Pagoda, it might find ways to occupy the Purple Pattern Origin. If it really succeeded, even the Beast Emperor might not be its match then. Then the Origin Continent would truly fall into disaster. No race would have much chance of survival. Outer Gods were the mortal enemies of all living beings in the Origin Continent. Between them, it was only a matter of life and death, regardless of right or wrong. But now, Lin Moyu knew that fellow had no chance. One Fate Explosion Technique had blasted it into serious injury, fleeing in panic. The Beast Emperor flew over with his tiger head. This time the damage was heavier, and it would take some time for his body to recover. At this moment, although the Beast Emperor only had a head, he still couldn’t hide his surprise, "Fellow Daoist Lin, how did you do that?" Lin Moyu said, "It’s a technique from the Fate Dao. Actually, it’s nothing special. It can only severely injure him, not kill him." "With the Outer God’s recovery ability, it won’t take long to fully recover." "Now that he’s fled, he’s returned to his own territory. Next, he should become desperate." The Beast Emperor frowned, "Even if desperate, what can he do?" Lin Moyu said, "I guess he will detonate part of the formation nodes he controls. This way, even if he can’t occupy the Purple Tiger Pagoda, he can greatly damage its power." "Great damage to the Purple Tiger Pagoda’s power would be an unimaginable disaster for the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan. Their fate would be greatly damaged, even affecting their foundation." The Beast Emperor nodded as he listened. Although he didn’t understand the Fate Dao, with his realm, he had an extremely deep understanding of fate. What Lin Moyu said wasn’t alarmist talk. It was all very likely to happen. Lin Moyu continued, "This is just one possibility. I guess he might use the Purple Tiger Pagoda as a springboard to enter the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan’s ancestral grounds." The Beast Emperor was suddenly alarmed, "Fellow Daoist Lin means his target is the Purple Pattern Origin?" Lin Moyu said, "This is just a guess. Normally, he couldn’t enter the ancestral grounds, but the Purple Tiger Pagoda has some connection with the ancestral grounds. He might have the ability to enter the ancestral grounds through this connection." "But I think it won’t be that easy. Certain conditions must be met, such as..."
