Chapter 3799: 3799 Chapter 3799: The Residual Soul of an Emperor Trouble. Though the soul fragment before Lin Moyu was small, its mere presence was enough to unsettle him. It wasn’t its strength that was intimidating it was the level of the soul itself. Lin Moyu instinctively understood that if this entity wanted to kill him, it might not succeed outright but the consequences would be dire. This soul fragment belonged to a higher tier one Lin Moyu had encountered before in figures like Human Sovereign and emperors. Lin Moyu quickly deduced the soul’s identity it was likely the entity suppressed in Beast Abyss, possibly the previous World Tree Emperor. Though imprisoned, it had managed to escape with a fragment of its soul. How it achieved this didn’t matter what mattered was that it had come to him. The soul swayed in the void, affecting nearby Great Dao energy and altering its flow. "I need you to do something for me," it said directly. Lin Moyu replied cautiously, "Please tell me, Senior. If it’s within my abilities, I’ll certainly assist." "I want you to kill Human Sovereign," the soul declared bluntly. Lin Moyu’s expression twitched as his own soul seemed to distort involuntarily. "Senior must be joking. My strength is worlds apart from Human Sovereign’s." The soul continued, "Not now but in the future. I will teach you how to kill Human Sovereign." Lin Moyu’s thoughts raced was there truly a method to kill Human Sovereign? In his understanding, there was only one way to surpass Human Sovereign in strength. But Human Sovereign had already become the master of Destruction Great Dao and entered Returning Origin Land achieving eternal immortality. Unless Returning Origin Land itself collapsed, Human Sovereign couldn’t die. But such an event would likely annihilate all existence leaving no survivors. "Do you agree?" the soul pressed. Instead of refusing outright, Lin Moyu asked, "Why did Senior choose me?" He already had some guesses but wasn’t entirely certain. "Because you are not from World Tree Great Spirit Domain," it replied simply. This reason aligned with Lin Moyu’s suspicions among those who witnessed Beast Abyss’s turmoil, he alone wasn’t tied to World Tree Great Spirit Domain. Clearly, the entity didn’t trust anyone from that domain. Even Wood Slaughter Realm Master’s leaf couldn’t deceive such a being. Not wanting to provoke conflict immediately, Lin Moyu responded diplomatically, "Then please share your method with me, Senior. If an opportunity arises in the future, I’ll help fulfill your request." He intended to learn the method first whether he’d use it was a question for another time. After all, he had no enmity with Human Sovereign why would he kill him? Still, if circumstances forced him into conflict with Human Sovereign someday, this method might prove useful. "You’re probably thinking that Human Sovereign is eternal and unless this world collapses, he won’t die," the soul remarked knowingly. "In the past that may have been true. But now things are different Human Sovereign is no longer truly eternal. You have a chance to kill him." "However to ensure your commitment I need you to swear an oath on the Great Dao." With a wave of its hand the soul condensed a glowing orb surrounded by Great Dao energy. "Swear upon this," it commanded. "If you violate your oath you will face punishment from the Great Dao itself and perish." Lin Moyu frowned deeply this demand felt less like a request and more like an order. Despite needing his help the entity acted domineeringly forcing him into submission. It had been a long time since anyone spoke to Lin Moyu like this not even Discernment Beast or Redstone Emperor treated him this way. This was merely a residual soul of an emperor and yet it dared act so arrogantly? Anger stirred within Lin Moyu but he maintained composure and replied politely, "Swearing an oath isn’t necessary, Senior. If you don’t trust me you can find someone else. I won’t be involved." Turning away he prepared to leave. "Stop!" the soul roared angrily. Lin Moyu paused and turned back calmly. "Is there something else?" Though he preferred avoiding confrontation he wouldn’t shy away if forced into battle. "If you refuse I’ll erase your consciousness," it threatened coldly. Lin Moyu understood immediately: "You mean to possess me?" "No not possession," it clarified. "I’ll turn you into a puppet to serve my will." Sighing softly Lin Moyu replied, "If Senior truly intends this I’ll have no choice but to resist." "My strength may be insignificant but I can make things difficult for you. After escaping Beast Abyss with just a fragment of your soul it would be a pity for you to lose it here." Even at this stage Lin Moyu hoped to avoid conflict but he knew emperors possessed countless tricks even as residual souls. "With your power you’re no match for me!" the soul sneered disdainfully. Suddenly a familiar wind began stirring. Lin Moyu froze the wind was unmistakable it was Annihilation Wind a force he had encountered several times before in Beast Abyss and during tribulations. Capable of instantly killing skeletal generals it could easily end his life too. Realizing there was no avoiding battle Lin Moyu shouted decisively: "Attack!" Space Dao Spirit cried out cheerfully: "Space Cut!" The spirit sliced through dimensions creating massive rifts that absorbed all incoming Annihilation Wind preventing any harm to Lin Moyu. Seizing the opportunity Lin Moyu unleashed World-Burning Fire engulfing the soul fragment in a sea of flames. Against souls World-Burning Fire proved highly effective even against emperor-level fragments. The residual soul groaned audibly: "What is this?" "A fire that can destroy you," Lin Moyu retorted coldly. Releasing Void Fusion Divine Rune summoned Five Elements Giant into Soul Void with Prison Formation activated spreading countless threads across space. Simultaneously Sword Dao Spirit transformed into a massive sword wielded by Five Elements Giant. Sword light tore through space as Five Elements Giant launched relentless attacks against the residual soul. The residual soul screamed in panic: "Sword Great Dao true body? Impossible! How are you wielding Sword Great Dao?" Recognizing Sword Dao Spirit’s power it realized Lin Moyu wasn’t using its full potential but merely treating it as a weapon a wasteful approach. Yet there was no time for reflection as Five Elements Giant continued its barrage. Sword strikes battered the residual soul relentlessly but its faint glow transformed into armor that deflected most attacks. After several exchanges the residual soul assessed Five Elements Giant’s limitations. Though wielding Sword Great Dao true body it failed to harness its full power utilizing less than one percent of its potential a crude method at best. "What a waste to use Sword Great Dao like this!" it muttered disdainfully before dissipating into mist and reappearing directly before Lin Moyu. Just as it prepared another strike a sudden blaze erupted around it. Shrieking in agony the residual soul retreated hastily as invisible flames burned fiercely upon its essence. These spectral flames differed from World-Burning Fire but were equally terrifying they targeted true spirits directly. True Fire Dao Spirit appeared on Lin Moyu’s shoulder its delicate face glaring coldly at the residual soul. Suddenly the heavens trembled and thunder roared violently as tribulation descended upon them. The three elemental liches groaned simultaneously as heaven punished them for attacking beings above Dao Lord level.
