Chapter 4373: This Creature Is Way Too Abnormal!
Billions upon billions of Soul Eater Bugs surged from all directions, so densely packed they blotted out the sky. Each bug was tiny as dust, seemingly insignificant, and their strength was unknown. But Lin Moyu knew that if he were ever infested, his life force would be drained in an instant.
Soul Eater Bugs were notoriously troublesome; as Little Peng said, they could be immune to most attacks.
Lin Moyu would have preferred to avoid fighting these bugs, but under these circumstances, there was no choice.
"World Ending Dao Palm!"
Lin Moyu raised his hand. Instantly, palm imprints blanketed the area in every direction. Although it was just a clone, the power of the World Ending Dao Palm didn't diminish much whether from the clone or the true body.
The giant palm prints crushed countless Soul Eater Bugs, many falling instantly. Yet, as the palm's force dissipated, the Soul Eater Bugs self destructed at death, their explosions neutralizing part of the palm's power this way, each palm only wiped out the outermost layer of bugs.
It looked like a massacre, but with numbers so innumerable, it was barely a drop in the ocean.
Still, Lin Moyu believed that as long as his attacks worked, that was enough.
He unleashed countless palm strikes, regardless of cost, flooding every direction with remnants of his hands.
The World Ending Dao Palm barely taxed his reserves its primary resource is soul force, and his soul force was infinitely self renewing.
Even with a clone, his real body's support made this possible.
That was his greatest advantage.
Thousands of palm prints flew out every second, killing swathes of Soul Eater Bugs.
The bugs kept self destructing, neutralizing one layer after another, but no matter how endless their numbers, they couldn't get close to Lin Moyu.
Clearing a path with his palms, Lin Moyu pressed onward, approaching the Chaotic Desolate Ox.
Soul Eater Bugs were the ox's symbiotes and guardians, constituting the outer defense while it slept.
Now that Lin Moyu broke through the defense, the bugs became furious, more masses flying forth from the stones.
Some began to merge, forming giant Soul Eater Bugs thousands of meters long, which then vanished.
After merging, the bugs increased not only in size but also in stealth; Lin Moyu had no idea how they concealed themselves there was no sign of space fluctuations, but they simply weren't there anymore.
With the Undead Eye activated, Lin Moyu saw clusters of enormous soul flames the soul signatures of these huge bugs.
Suddenly, dozens of giant Soul Eater Bugs appeared less than a thousand meters ahead.
"World Ending Dao Palm!"
Both hands fluttered, unleashing so many palm strikes that it seemed endless. The giant Soul Eater Bugs opened their maws wide, generating a tremendous suction that swallowed the palm strikes whole.
The World Ending Dao Palm was rendered useless; the giant Soul Eater Bugs devoured it and then targeted Lin Moyu directly.
Great, roaring suction erupted from all sides, nearly tearing even Lin Moyu's clone to pieces on the spot.
In this situation, Lin Moyu couldn't get any closer to the Chaotic Desolate Ox he couldn't even budge.
That the bugs could merge and dramatically heighten their power was surprising, but it made sense;
If they weren't so dangerous, they'd never have been sealed into the Lonely Peng's bloodline as an existential threat.
As Soul Eater Bugs closed in, ready to consume him, Lin Moyu summoned a roaring inferno.
The World Burning Fire erupted like a volcano, blazing through the chaotic void.
Soul Eater Bugs were tiny, mainly spiritual in nature, and for burning souls World Burning Fire was the perfect countermeasure.
Lin Moyu heard the piercing shrieks of the bugs; in moments, the fire burned countless Soul Eater Bugs to cinders and shattered the giants.
They could swallow life force and neutralize most attacks, but against World Burning Fire, they had no defense.
He carved a passage through with fire, crossing the stone field to stand face to face with the Chaotic Desolate Ox.
The ox's hide was covered in ravines, like monstrous canyons tossed with lightning; rivers of thunder flowed in those chasms.
At such close range, Lin Moyu tried again with soul voice:
The Chaotic Desolate Ox didn't stir; its sleep was deep and peaceful.
Lin Moyu calculated the timing another snore was soon coming, and there wasn't much time left.
Unable to wake him, he tried a different approach provocation.
"No offense!"
"World Ending Dao Palm!"
Lin Moyu struck; the palm print landed on the beast's hide, scattering bits of stone, but there was no reaction.
Lin Moyu felt helpless its defense exceeded expectations. His attack barely scratched it, let alone annoyed it.
Lightning flickered in the ravines another snore was imminent.
If the palm didn't rouse him, Lin Moyu resorted to World Burning Fire.
World Burning Fire penetrates right to the soul, so it should be effective. But Lin Moyu also worried about provoking dangerous wrath after all, waking someone up abruptly rarely ends well.
A flame of World Burning Fire flew out, struck the Chaotic Desolate Ox, tunneled past the skin and into the soul.
With Undead Eye active, Lin Moyu watched the ox's soul flame quiver slightly, then sensed his fire dissipate.
World Burning Fire, always effective, only twitched the ox's soul flame imperceptibly. Lin Moyu was speechless the beast's defense wasn't just physical but spiritual too.
Not only could he not hurt it, he couldn't even prod it this creature was far too abnormal!
Boom!
Thunder exploded, rivers of lightning cascaded from the canyons, drowning Lin Moyu's clone in an instant.
The clone perished, and a billion li away, Lin Moyu could only sigh and prepare another.
He formed a new clone, waited for the snore to end, then approached again to try waking the Chaotic Desolate Ox.
Suddenly, everything blurred a massive eye filled his field of vision. The ox, a billion li away, appeared before him in a flash.
Lin Moyu instinctively tried to activate the escape array, but found himself paralyzed body and soul would not respond.
A formless force rendered him helpless, unable even to leave.
His array was suppressed, petrified and inert.
Everything surpassed Lin Moyu's expectations. The Desolate Ox had woken, homed in on him instantly, and was now directly confronting him.
Its immense eye, like a world, stared down, filling Lin Moyu with crushing pressure.
In its gaze, Lin Moyu saw his own reflection so small, so insignificant.
Then, the ox slowly retreated, and after moving ten thousand li away, Lin Moyu could just make out some of its immense shape.
A deep, thunder ridden voice boomed, "You've finally come!"
Lin Moyu's heart skipped there was too much meaning in those words, only a few would truly understand.
Without waiting for Lin Moyu to reply, the Chaotic Desolate Ox opened its mouth. "Come inside, let's talk!"
