Chapter 4130: Advancing Into the Core Region
In fact, what happened next was exactly as Lin Moyu had predicted. After restoring several filth pools, the nine Beast Emperors stopped, ignoring the remaining purified pools and turning their attention toward Tun Yuan's location.
The Lord of Power whispered, "You were right again. But why are they going after Tun Yuan now instead of restoring all the pools first?"
Lin Moyu replied, "I have two guesses. First, more pools aren't necessarily better. Second, the route they chose while restoring the pools was already aimed at Tun Yuan's position. You can see now that Tun Yuan is already surrounded by the wild beasts he just doesn't know it yet."
Lin Moyu pointed to the images he was displaying. By piecing them together, it was clear the Beast Emperors had already encircled Tun Yuan. This alone showed the Beast Emperors' high intelligence they understood tactics, not just brute force.
An Yuyan looked at Lin Moyu. "Do you think Tun Yuan can escape?"
Lin Moyu said, "He'll be fine. Back when I seriously injured him, he still managed to escape the Sword Emperor multiple times. Now, he's surpassed his former peak. As long as he's willing to pay a price, escaping isn't hard."
Back then, Lin Moyu's palm strike had astonished even the Sword Emperor of the Spirit Demon Clan, as it surpassed the Eternal level. But Lin Moyu knew that was a sneak attack; if Tun Yuan were prepared, it would be much harder to cripple him again. Even at their strongest, the Beast Emperors hadn't surpassed Eternity and were weaker than the Sword Emperor. Even with numbers, killing Tun Yuan would be difficult.
As Tun Yuan was slaughtering Dao Wild Beasts, he suddenly paused, sensing something was wrong. He growled uneasily, scanning the surroundings, then abruptly flew off in a certain direction.
Lin Moyu commented, "Very sharp instincts!"
Tun Yuan fled toward the weakest point in the encirclement, showing his keen sense for danger and ability to find the safest path. Unfortunately, the Beast Emperors had planned for this what seemed the safest route was only relatively so. Soon, he ran into a wall of wild beasts tens of millions blocked his way, with Beast Kings at the front stalling him.
Sensing the growing danger, Tun Yuan didn't linger, but the sheer number of beasts made breaking out impossible. Soon, the Beast Emperors arrived and attacked. Their assaults were powerful, thoroughly suppressing Tun Yuan.
An Yuyan explained, "The Beast Emperors have two main attack methods: one is the filthy divine light they spew from their mouths, ears, and noses, which can contaminate the Great Dao even we must be careful. If your Dao is polluted, it's a huge problem. The other is the filthy curse from their bodies, which targets us directly. If our bodies or souls are cursed, we'll be tainted at best, our cultivation suffers; at worst, we have to retreat to the Dao to heal. Both the filthy divine light and curse are hard to remove, taking ages to wear off."
Lin Moyu added, "The Lord of Curses was once contaminated and had to go dormant. Even then, the curse lingered until he found another way to separate it otherwise, recovery would have been nearly impossible. When he entered the core of the Great Wilderness, who knows what he encountered. I'm sure the curse he suffered didn't come from the Beast Emperors their curses aren't that strong. This suggests there's an even more powerful filth in the core region."
The Beast Emperors, leading billions of wild beasts, completely surrounded Tun Yuan. He tried to break out repeatedly, but failed each time. Fortunately, his unique nature made him immune to the Beast Emperors' curses even the filthy divine light only caused minor wounds that healed quickly. This battle would last a while; neither side would give up easily.
Lin Moyu's mind stirred, and suddenly a large number of undead servants appeared in the images. Previously hidden throughout the Great Wilderness, they now revealed themselves, heading toward the core region. Lin Moyu closed his eyes, beginning to control the undead not just simple control, but attaching fragments of his soul to them, turning them into soul avatars. These avatars, carried by the undead, advanced into the core, laying down formations as they went.
The formations were simple: each required only a single divine rune to monitor everything within ten thousand li. The fewer the runes, the more hidden the formation. The formations could also link together, forming a complete surveillance network.
Taking advantage of the Beast Emperors' absence, the undead swarmed toward the core, with Lin Moyu's soul avatars continuously setting up formations. Controlling so many avatars at once was taxing, but Lin Moyu had done it before when setting up against the Lord of Curses, he'd used the same method.
An Yuyan noticed Lin Moyu's unusual state, realizing he must be up to something, but didn't ask.
In the scene Lin Moyu displayed, the seemingly sleeping mutated beast suddenly awoke. It let out a muffled roar, thunderous across the Great Wilderness, and giant claws rained down from the sky, smashing the undead heading for the core. The mutated beast had detected the undead and attacked directly. The undead stood no chance, dying in droves. But within seconds, they revived and continued advancing.
The mutated beast was startled to see the undead resurrect, then attacked again, killing them all. This time, he struck even harder, reducing them to ashes. Satisfied, he closed his eyes only for the undead to revive again and keep going. The mutated beast was shocked again, roared in frustration, and attacked repeatedly. Since the undead were easy to kill, he could attack over and over. What he didn't realize was that the undead could also revive endlessly.
Angered, the mutated beast's roars grew deeper, echoing far and wide. Countless wild beasts heard and rushed toward the core. Suddenly, an undead army appeared, slaughtering the approaching Dao Wild Beasts and charging for the core as well switching from stealth to all out assault.
The mutated beast kept attacking, but the undead scattered, reviving wherever they fell and pressing forward. The core region was vast, and the undead were advancing from all directions; before they reached the very center, the mutated beast couldn't kill them all.
