Chapter 4813: Soul Slaying Arrow
The Calamity Scepter swept across, and the peak powerhouse level magic treasure shattered on the spot.
Lin Moyu fully urged the Calamity Scepter and easily smashed apart magic treasures at the peak powerhouse level.
Magic treasures, like cultivation, differed by a single tier as vastly as heaven and earth.
After sweeping away the many treasures, Lin Moyu once again swung the Calamity Scepter.
A gigantic phantom flashed across the void.
Within the Calamity Scepter, the realm gemstones glittered, and the phantoms of realm after realm appeared, constantly being born and destroyed.
Between the birth and destruction of these realms, terrifying power erupted, forming a prison to trap the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign.
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign roared, and a pitch black great bow suddenly appeared in his hand.
He drew the bow into a full moon, and an arrow appeared on the string.
Black qi surged from the bow, and within the black qi countless runes surfaced.
The runes flowed automatically into the arrow, making it even darker several times darker than the Forbidden Zone of Life itself.
All light in the surroundings was absorbed by it.
Lin Moyu's expression changed, and a warning of danger rang out in his soul.
This bow was extremely perilous.
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's hidden foundation was indeed deep.
Lin Moyu retreated rapidly, but it was already too late.
"Die!"
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's face was gloomy as he spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the bow.
"Soul Slaying Arrow!"
The pitch black arrow tore through the void, giving Lin Moyu no time to react, and had already pierced into his body.
Lin Moyu froze on the spot as if he had lost consciousness.
Countless wounds suddenly appeared all over his body, with faint blood flowing, and his aura plunged steeply as though his soul was dissolving.
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign laughed coldly.
"The Soul Slaying Arrow one arrow to slay the soul, capable of killing any peak powerhouse.
"If the price were not too great, this Emperor Sovereign would not have waited until now to use it."
His face was deathly pale; the cost to him was also enormous.
The Soul Slaying Arrow drew upon the soul itself, not soul power but the soul as such.
To slay the enemy was also to slay oneself.
To wound the enemy by a thousand was to damage oneself by eight hundred.
Relying on the strength of his own powerful soul, the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign paid the price of losing thirty percent of his soul to kill Lin Moyu's soul.
Lin Moyu's soul aura constantly dropped and looked as if it might dissipate at any moment, but the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign still sensed something wrong.
The aura was falling, yet it fell without dispersing.
Lin Moyu's soul was like a bottomless pit that could never be reached, no matter how far it dropped.
After just three breaths, a far more majestic soul aura suddenly surged from within Lin Moyu.
His wounds instantly healed, and he returned to his peak state.
With a smile, Lin Moyu looked at the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign.
"This magic treasure is quite powerful."
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's expression froze at once as he cried out in shock.
"Impossible!
"How can you be unharmed?"
Lin Moyu smiled.
"You have not comprehended the illusory and the real of the soul.
"Even if told, you would not understand."
The Soul Slaying Arrow could indeed slay souls, but it could only kill a few souls at most.
Lin Moyu's soul had long since fused the virtual and the real and possessed countless soul bodies, scattered through every corner of his flesh.
The Soul Slaying Arrow had only destroyed a few before exhausting itself, causing Lin Moyu no real harm.
The reason Lin Moyu waited three breaths was that he had been studying the Soul Slaying Arrow.
The Soul Slaying Arrow was not a magic treasure but a powerful spell.
It used one's own soul as the price to slay the opponent's soul.
For others this arrow caused severe loss, but for him it was essentially no loss at all.
If the soul became unusable, he could simply self destruct and be reborn.
Moreover, he possessed an inexhaustible number of soul particles, each of which had devoured a vast amount of the power of heavens and earth.
Using these particles as his foundation, even if the first arrow completely emptied a single soul particle, he could still unleash countless arrows in an instant.
It would not be difficult.
What was more, this arrow did not have to use only soul it could employ other things as well.
The Soul Slaying Arrow itself was not a particularly profound spell.
In Lin Moyu's eyes, once it involved such runes, mastery of it came naturally.
"Just when there was a headache over how to get rid of this fellow, this really is a pillow delivered when drowsy.
"Many thanks!"
Lin Moyu chuckled inwardly.
While the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign was still in shock, Lin Moyu's fingers danced.
His soul rolled and surged, turning into a pitch black great bow.
The bow was somewhat smaller than the one the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign had condensed, but it was enough.
With the bow fully drawn, a pitch black Soul Slaying Arrow instantly took shape.
A sharp, cutting pain tore through his soul as a portion of it was forcibly sliced off.
Lin Moyu had died so many times that this level of pain was for him no more than a tickle.
With great generosity, he sliced off seventy percent of his soul and condensed it into a Soul Slaying Arrow.
"Soul Slaying Arrow!"
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign suddenly snapped awake.
"How can you possibly know the Soul Slaying Arrow?"
Lin Moyu chuckled.
"For such a simple spell, one look is enough to learn it."
"Impossible!" cried the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign.
Lin Moyu smiled.
"Then watch carefully."
Black qi likewise poured forth from the bow, filled with runes.
The runes sank into the arrow, and the Soul Slaying Arrow swiftly took form.
This process was exactly the same as before.
The essence of this spell lay in these runes, and anything related to runes became something that, in Lin Moyu's eyes, he could learn at a glance.
If one glance was not enough, then it only took a few more.
"Now you can taste it yourself!"
The Soul Slaying Arrow shot out and vanished into the void.
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign likewise could not evade and was struck in an instant.
A scream rang out.
The Soul Slaying Arrow dealt purely in soul slaying, without any embellishment, yet with unimaginable power.
This mutually destructive spell was ruthless and vicious, harsh to the enemy and even harsher to oneself.
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's soul aura plunged rapidly as his soul suffered heavy damage.
He took out another pill.
A phantom of a heaven and earth appeared around the pill, and the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's aura stopped falling and began to soar sharply.
His eyes were full of heartache as he stared fixedly at Lin Moyu.
"The Soul Slaying Arrow slays oneself first before slaying others.
"You must also have been severely injured..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Moyu's aura had already recovered to its peak.
He had unified spirit and flesh, and within his body lay uncountable soul particles, each one a miniaturized soul in its own right.
Now a single soul particle merged into his main soul, and the power of heavens and earth stored within the particle erupted, instantly restoring Lin Moyu completely.
Lin Moyu smiled.
"Severely injured?
"Does not exist."
With a light tap of his finger, another great bow appeared.
The bow was drawn into a full moon once more, and a Soul Slaying Arrow took shape and shot forth.
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's expression changed drastically.
He took out a mirror and instantly dove into its surface.
The Soul Slaying Arrow followed right after and also entered the mirror.
The image within the mirror shifted and distorted, and the Soul Slaying Arrow abruptly appeared in the void billions of miles away, flying toward the distance, its target lost.
Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback.
"So there is such a magic treasure!"
The Soul Slaying Arrow locked onto the soul and could not be avoided at all, yet this mirror was able to dodge it.
Regardless of the mirror's rank or level, its function was extremely special.
However...
The Calamity Scepter swept over.
If the mirror could dodge the Soul Slaying Arrow, could it also dodge the Calamity Scepter?
As the Calamity Scepter swept out, yet another great bow formed, and a Soul Slaying Arrow was nocked and ready.
If the Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign dared to emerge, an arrow would immediately be loosed.
If he did not, then the Calamity Scepter would smash the mirror.
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign did not come out.
The Calamity Scepter struck the mirror head on and shattered it instantly.
As the mirror broke, a vast heaven and earth abruptly appeared, and the annihilating power of the Forbidden Zone of Life surged forth, seeking to crush that heaven and earth.
The heaven and earth and the annihilation power clashed violently.
The void roared and trembled without cease, and the space of the Forbidden Zone of Life shattered.
The space of the Forbidden Zone of Life was extremely solid, but once it started breaking, it was like an avalanche that could not be stopped.
Lin Moyu was swept into it at once and, for a time, could not free himself.
The Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign also charged into the shattered space and vanished.
