Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4106: What Is the Truth of Heaven and Earth

Outside the filth pool, a dense crowd of Dao Wild Beasts gathered. These beasts, from sky to ground, surrounded the pool on all sides, growling lowly. The muffled rumble echoed across the land like thunder. At this moment, all the Dao Wild Beasts were completely focused on the pool, paying no attention to Lin Moyu and An Yuyan. Normally, Dao Wild Beasts would have already attacked, regardless of whether you were a Great Dao Lord or an Eternal they never cared if they could win; they’d just attack first and think later. But now, something more important had captured their attention.

Their behavior struck An Yuyan as odd. The Dao Wild Beasts’ eyes were filled with vigilance and strong fighting intent, but they hadn’t actually attacked. They were wary, but also somewhat fearful.

Lin Moyu noticed this too. After a while, he discerned the reason. “These wild beasts likely all came from this filth pool. It’s their lair, so when something happens to it, they naturally return.”

The beasts encircled the pool so densely that it was impossible to see what was happening inside.

An Yuyan suggested, “Should we fight our way in and take a look?”

Lin Moyu smiled, “No need, I have a way.” Since he had created the Soulless Beast himself, he was connected to it and could see some things through that link. Lin Moyu drew a divine rune, which projected an image of the pool. The filth pool had changed dramatically it was now much clearer than before. At the center, the fist sized Soulless Beast lay quietly on the surface, as if sleeping. It was one with the pool, emitting a faint light that shone into the water, transforming the filth within. As this transformation occurred, the Soulless Beast’s aura steadily grew stronger.

An Yuyan said, “It’s purifying the pool.”

Lin Moyu nodded, “Yes.” He hadn’t given the Soulless Beast any instructions; it decided everything on its own. The Soulless Beast was purifying the pool, using its power to strengthen itself. Once the pool was purified, the Dao Wild Beasts would lose their home.

“So it’s being robbed of its home,” An Yuyan laughed, finding it amusing.

Lin Moyu said, “These Dao Wild Beasts haven’t figured out what’s happening yet, but they’ll probably attack soon.”

An Yuyan asked, “With so many Dao Wild Beasts, how will it handle them?”

Lin Moyu replied, “Let’s watch it’ll be interesting.” He planned to observe how the Soulless Beast would deal with the wild beasts. Every living being in the world has a soul, but the Soulless Beast is unique it’s alive but has no soul, something even Lin Moyu couldn’t fully understand. But its existence proves there are still many secrets in the world he doesn’t know. By watching how the Soulless Beast dealt with the Dao Wild Beasts, he hoped to gain new insights.

If Lin Moyu wanted to become the master of the world, he needed to understand it thoroughly.

The Soulless Beast continued to purify the pool, making it ever clearer. The Dao Wild Beasts surrounding it finally lost patience and charged at it with furious roars. The pool erupted with water columns, which fell like rain, each droplet glowing with the same light as the Soulless Beast. When the rain landed on the Dao Wild Beasts, their auras plummeted and their bodies rapidly collapsed.

The Dao Wild Beasts’ bodies were formed from filth, maintaining a delicate balance. The rain, imbued with the Soulless Beast’s purifying power, disrupted this balance and shattered their bodies. The broken bodies fell into the pool, where the light quickly decomposed and purified them. Without bodies, the wild beasts’ souls appeared in midair. The Soulless Beast opened its mouth, let out a clear cry, and absorbed all the souls.

The Dao Wild Beasts’ bodies were filthy, but their souls were pure. The Soulless Beast purified the bodies and devoured the souls, growing even stronger.

An Yuyan exclaimed in surprise, “It can do that?”

Lin Moyu pondered, “Balance… So breaking the balance destroys the Dao Wild Beasts’ bodies. That’s a good idea not only for Dao Wild Beasts, but for other things too. And it’s not just this world; other realms must also obey the law of balance.”

Lin Moyu’s perspective was different from most he always sought the essence of things.

The remaining Dao Wild Beasts stopped and launched attacks at the Soulless Beast. The Soulless Beast didn’t move; water splashed again, and powerful light from the pool enveloped the Soulless Beast, turning it into a ball of light. All attacks landed on the light, but none could harm it.

“Even attacks can be purified,” An Yuyan observed. She saw that the light didn’t block the attacks; it purified them. The wild beasts’ attacks, full of filth and curses, were instantly purified when they touched the light. The Soulless Beast absorbed the purified power to strengthen itself. It was like a bottomless pit no matter how strong the wild beasts’ attacks, it absorbed them all. In this sense, it seemed invincible.

Lin Moyu considered another question: if the Soulless Beast was so unafraid of the Dao Wild Beasts, why didn’t it just purify them all directly? Was there another limitation? While the Soulless Beast was the natural nemesis of Dao Wild Beasts, in nature, water can extinguish fire, but a great fire can also dry up water who restrains whom depends on strength. If the gap is wide enough, Dao Wild Beasts should be able to kill the Soulless Beast.

Gradually, Lin Moyu realized something: the Soulless Beast wasn’t refusing to act, it just wasn’t time yet. After watching a while longer, Lin Moyu confirmed his theory. “So that’s it.”

An Yuyan asked, “What’s going on?”

She was curious why the Soulless Beast didn’t just purify the wild beasts, but started with the pool.

Lin Moyu explained, “These Dao Wild Beasts were born from this filth pool. The pool is not only their home, but also where their true spirit imprints are stored. The Soulless Beast appears to be purifying the pool, but it’s actually purifying their true spirit imprints. Once those are purified, the Dao Wild Beasts will collapse on their own no need to purify each one individually, which is much more efficient.”

An Yuyan was surprised. “The Dao Wild Beasts’ true spirit imprints are in the pool?”

Lin Moyu said, “It’s just a guess, but I’m probably right. If so, it’s very interesting. Dao Wild Beasts are formed from Dao filth, yet they have true spirit imprints, which means their existence is recognized by heaven and earth. Heaven and earth acknowledge them, but also guard against them so what is the truth of heaven and earth?”

“If I can understand this, I’ll be one step closer to grasping the essence of the world.”
