Chapter 2963: 2963 Chapter 2963: Since We’ve Already Offended, Let’s Offend to the End The ice-fire seed flew towards the Broodmother at an astonishing speed. Lin Moyu had a thought, and Zhao Dongsheng and the others turned to intercept. But the Broodmother suddenly let out a scream, a powerful soul impact sweeping over them like a tidal wave, causing the three to pause momentarily. In that brief moment, the ice-fire seed had already bypassed them and entered the Broodmother’s mouth. Lin Moyu previously didn’t understand why the Broodmother suddenly came to snatch the ice-fire seed, but seeing the seed fly towards it, he suddenly understood. This Broodmother wasn’t as the Three Ancestors described. It wasn’t the special divine pet of the extraterrestrial god; this Broodmother should be related to the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance. Therefore, the Great Dao didn’t convey a sense of disgust. Why could the Ice Fire Grass find its way here so quickly? This Broodmother was the nail left here by the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance, possessing spatial abilities, possibly creating the spatial channel. The Broodmother’s abilities were numerous, opening Lin Moyu’s eyes. "What exactly is he planning? Is it just for the ice-fire stone?" His chess piece hidden in the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury for so many years must have a purpose, and it must be significant. Originally, the Ice Fire Grass entering the treasury should have been a crucial move, but it was disrupted by Lin Moyu. Thus, the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance must see him as a mortal enemy. But Lin Moyu had no regrets; he would still do the same if given another chance. The Broodmother was now evenly matched with the three, neither side able to gain the upper hand. However, Lin Moyu knew that Zhao Dongsheng’s space-sealing time was limited, and once it ended, the Broodmother would surely escape. He unleashed the Undying Flame, and three thousand Skeleton Kings appeared, surrounding the Broodmother. Although the Skeleton Kings’ combat power was only at the Fourth Realm of Dao Sovereign, the Broodmother’s vitality was strong, and the Skeleton Kings’ Great Dao spells could inflict some damage. Moreover, their bone swords were sharp enough to at least restrain the Broodmother, even if each strike caused minimal damage. Buddhist chants echoed, and the Buddhist Kingdom appeared beside him. At this time, the Buddhist Lich couldn’t use the Great Dao of Fate, only using the Conversion spell to influence the Broodmother. Lin Moyu’s body became hazy, activating the true form of the Great Dao of Fortune. A black and a white Sword of Fortune appeared simultaneously, landing on the Broodmother. The Broodmother let out a resentful scream, its fortune weakened, affecting its combat power. With a few strikes, Lin Moyu realized that the Broodmother’s fortune wasn’t connected to the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance, proving it was an independent entity, not a clone of the leader. This feeling was entirely different from the previous Ice Fire Grass. However, while weakening the Broodmother’s fortune, Lin Moyu’s frown deepened. He discovered that although the Broodmother’s fortune wasn’t linked to the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance, it was connected to countless others. After some thought, Lin Moyu suddenly realized the source of the Broodmother’s strength. The Broodmother became so powerful because it started harvesting the offspring it released. Over countless years, the Broodmother had released an unknown number of offspring, parasitizing many Dao Sovereigns. The offspring and the Broodmother had a special connection, usually absorbing power slowly and transferring it to the Broodmother in a unique way. But when the Broodmother needed immense power, the offspring’s absorption method would change, becoming rapid and fierce. Lin Moyu suddenly understood that the Broodmother must have ordered the offspring to quickly absorb power. Using this power, it could fight Zhao Dongsheng and the others to a standstill. Because the offspring absorbed power to supply the Broodmother, their fortunes became connected. Lin Moyu knew that chaos must have already erupted outside; once the offspring truly began absorbing power, those parasitized Dao Sovereigns would have a hard time. Moreover, Lin Moyu was also troubled because the Broodmother absorbed not only power but also the fortunes of these Dao Sovereigns. This meant he had to deal with the fortunes of so many Dao Sovereigns simultaneously. Even if it was like inflicting a thousand damage on the enemy while suffering two hundred himself, the cost was too high. "Fortunately, there’s the Poison Sword, at least to slowly wear down its fortune." "I’ll think of a way to kill it." "I hope the Dao Sovereigns of the Lu Feng Merchant Guild can hold on." In the Eastern Continent’s marketplace, at the headquarters of the Lu Feng Merchant Guild, the parasitized Dao Sovereigns began to lose power rapidly. Their auras were gradually declining, much faster than before. Each Dao Sovereign’s soul was harmed. Lu Lian immediately activated a formation to help heal them, but the effect was unsatisfactory, only delaying the inevitable. She reported the matter to the Three Ancestors, who also had no solution, only waiting. In the Northern Continent, many demon clan Dao Sovereigns simultaneously groaned, losing consciousness. Their power was draining, and their souls were also injured. This change caught the attention of the demon clan’s high-level members, and within minutes, the matter reached the ears of the true ruler of the demon clan. Lin Moyu could feel the Broodmother’s fortune gradually declining. However, the decline was slow; for every three parts lost, two parts were replenished. These fortunes came from the Dao Sovereigns it parasitized. Lin Moyu continued using the Sword of Fortune to weaken the Broodmother’s fortune. Although the effect was average and it also harmed his fortune, it was the best method available. Otherwise, Lin Moyu would have to use his trump card to deal with the Broodmother. Corpse Explosion was not an option; it was his last resort. He didn’t want to use the Origin Spell combined with the Great Dao Undying Pill. Knowing that the leader of the Hundred Herb Alliance was behind the Broodmother, Lin Moyu didn’t want to expose his trump card. As long as the trump card remained, he had a chance to save his life. Once exposed, if the opponent was prepared, he would have no chance. Therefore, Lin Moyu preferred the clumsy method of inflicting a thousand damage on the enemy while suffering two hundred himself, rather than using his trump card. Under the Sword of Fortune, the Broodmother’s combat power weakened, breaking the balance, and Zhao Dongsheng and the others, along with the Skeleton Kings, gradually gained the upper hand. The Broodmother was clearly anxious, constantly screaming and absorbing external power. Due to the limitations of the Ice and Fire Secret Treasury, the strongest Dao Sovereigns entering here were only at the Sixth Realm. There was a significant difference between the Sixth and Seventh Realms, and no matter how many Sixth Realm Dao Sovereigns the Broodmother parasitized, it couldn’t gain the power of a Seventh Realm Dao Sovereign. Therefore, the Broodmother’s maximum power was at the Sixth Realm of Dao Sovereign. Under Lin Moyu’s continuous weakening, the Broodmother’s power had already dropped to the edge of the Sixth Realm. But this was the limit; because the Broodmother had too many hosts, Lin Moyu knew he couldn’t weaken it further. If he continued using the Sword of Fortune, although he could further weaken the Broodmother’s combat power, the cost-effectiveness was already too low, making it not worthwhile. Lin Moyu didn’t do unprofitable business, and with a thought, the Fortune Explosion Technique erupted! Boom! An explosion sounded from within the Broodmother, and it screamed, with numerous wounds appearing on its massive body. Under the Fortune Explosion Technique, the Broodmother suffered some damage. At this moment, a flame ignited on the Broodmother, healing the wounds in the fire. Then the Broodmother donned a layer of ice armor. Lin Moyu frowned, knowing the ice-fire seed was causing trouble. The Hundred Herb Alliance controlled the ice-fire seed, aiding the Broodmother in battle.
