Chapter 3049: 3049 Chapter 3049: Third-Level Dao Venerable, Welcome! A beast-like roar resounded throughout the soul world. Lin Moyu had heard a similar sound long ago. This sound had no rationality, only bestial instinct. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 Back then, it was a soul giant dragon that came from the soul void, impacting his soul world. It ended up being burned to death by his World-Burning Fire, turning into a soul crystal. It was precisely this soul crystal that turned the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal into the Ten-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal, becoming something that only existed in legends. Unexpectedly, now there was another being coming from outside the soul world. Boom! The unknown being from the soul void collided with the soul world, causing the soul world to shake incessantly. Lin Moyu wasn’t panicked. While condensing dao patterns using the dao reward, he multitasked, observing the soul void. In the soul void, a giant beast shaped like a lizard was continuously ramming its body against his soul world, sometimes also lashing with its tail. Its realm wasn’t low, at least seventh-level Dao Venerable, even stronger than the soul giant dragon from before. Lin Moyu looked at this lizard, finding it stranger the more he looked. This lizard should be a spirit beast. Its soul and physical body should look the same - whatever the soul looks like, the physical body generally looks the same. Moreover, the soul should be pure. Apart from special things like dao patterns, there shouldn’t be anything else. But on this lizard’s soul, there were many characteristics of other species. For example, its tail had spikes at the tip, like a scorpion. On its abdomen, besides its original pair of claws, there was another slightly smaller pair of claws, like bird talons. On its surface grew some scales. Some scales were its own, while others weren’t. Lin Moyu’s observation skills were as keen as his spiritual perception. Just one look told him this lizard was problematic. "The soul void should have quite a few soul bodies." "These soul bodies are lost in the soul void, having lost rationality, only instinct remaining." "Instinct makes them kill and devour each other." "As long as they devour others, they can strengthen themselves. But at the same time, characteristics of those devoured remain in their souls." "This lizard must have devoured many soul bodies, which is why it became like this." Thinking of this, another question arose. Where did so many soul bodies in the soul void come from? In the Origin Continent, any intelligent being knows the soul void is dangerous and won’t easily enter. Beings without intelligence have instincts and are even less likely to enter the soul void. Only those few beings who consider themselves powerful and are full of curiosity about the unknown would enter the soul void. But such beings are very rare. If there are many beings in the soul void, there are only two possibilities. One is accumulation over countless years. Two is that the world corresponding to the soul void isn’t just the Origin Continent. The world where Outer Gods live also has a soul void, and it’s the same one. This also explains why the Outer God would rather face the Beast Emperor than escape into the soul void. Because it knew the soul void was too dangerous. Those who enter have no chance of survival. But facing the Beast Emperor, there was at least a glimmer of hope, relying on the true spirit to escape. Thinking of this, Lin Moyu felt he understood everything. He also figured out the reason this lizard was attracted here. At that time, many cracks appeared in the soul world, and he had used an origin technique. The aura of the origin technique leaked out, attracting the attention of those soul bodies in the soul void. It seems that last time, when the giant dragon soul body came, it was also related to the origin aura. "It seems that in the soul void, the aura of origin is like honey attracting insects." "I need to be more careful when using it in the future. If it attracts a Great Dao realm soul body, that would be trouble." Even the soul of a Great Dao realm Outer God didn’t dare enter the soul void. This indicates there must be even more terrifying dangers in the soul void. If his origin technique attracted these terrifying existences, he would likely be in trouble. "I wonder if the Beast Emperor knows about the soul void. I can ask him later." Lin Moyu muttered to himself. Compared to dealing with the Third Ancestor, dealing with the Beast Emperor was more relaxing. To get some information from the Third Ancestor, one had to pay a corresponding price. Because the Third Ancestor was a businessman, anything could be traded. But the Beast Emperor wasn’t, so much valuable information could be obtained from him. After more than ten minutes, the fifty-third dao pattern was successfully condensed. Then he began condensing the fifty-fourth dao pattern. As long as the fifty-fourth dao pattern was successfully condensed, Lin Moyu could become third-level Dao Venerable. At that time, his strength would take another big step forward. Outside the soul world, that lizard was still tirelessly ramming. Although the soul world was shaking incessantly, it could still hold up. There was no danger for now. After the dao reward ended, he would deal with it. Lin Moyu felt the effect of the dao reward was weakening. This dao reward was really too small, even less than expected. Lin Moyu hurried to condense the dao pattern. If he didn’t hurry, even the fifty-fourth dao pattern might not be condensed. After so much effort, if he still couldn’t advance to third-level Dao Venerable, it would be quite a loss. Time passed second by second. Lin Moyu was racing against time. Unfortunately, the Time Dao couldn’t be used when condensing dao patterns. Otherwise, Lin Moyu really wanted to multiply his time several times over. But the dao didn’t allow this loophole to be exploited. The fifty-fourth dao pattern gradually took shape in his soul as the power of the dao reward was ebbing. Finally, at the last moment before the dao reward withdrew, the fifty-fourth dao pattern fully formed. The dao patterns resonated with each other. Lin Moyu felt he had reached a marvelous state. Second-level Dao Venerable was perfected. His consciousness moved slightly, and the bottleneck between second and third-level Dao Venerable was broken. Lin Moyu’s aura soared, completing the breakthrough almost instantly. He smoothly entered third-level Dao Venerable, with an incredibly stable foundation, even more stable than those who advance and then seclude themselves for decades or centuries. Lin Moyu’s foundation was too solid. With a fifth-level Dao Venerable physical body and soul, as long as he had enough dao patterns, he could advance directly without any obstacles. The technique stars were all glowing. As his realm increased, the power of his techniques also increased. Especially summoning techniques, which improved most noticeably. The fifty-four dao patterns resonated, and the power of the dao patterns also increased somewhat. Lin Moyu took a deep breath and looked at the big lizard outside the soul world, "Time to deal with you!" Lin Moyu had multiple ways to deal with it. The simplest was to use the Calamity Scepter to smash it directly. But that would be a bit wasteful. A seventh-level Dao Venerable soul was a bit inferior for the soul gem. The arrogant soul gem might not want to eat it. Besides the Calamity Scepter, he could also use the World-Burning Fire. The World-Burning Fire wasn’t powerful enough against Great Dao realm beings like Outer Gods. But for dealing with seventh-level Dao Venerable, it should be worth a try. Having made up his mind, his heart moved, and a gap immediately appeared in the soul world. The big lizard had no intelligence and directly charged in through the gap. It immediately locked onto Lin Moyu. At this moment, Lin Moyu pointed a finger and said, "Welcome!"
