 **Chapter 1470: To Leave, There Is Only One Way**

In the distant past, the glory of that mysterious master also shone upon a place called the Soul Realm. 

Later, during the great war, various realms rebelled.

The Soul Realm also joined the ranks of the rebels.

That master sent an army to suppress the rebellion, sweeping through the Soul Realm with overwhelming force, carrying out a massacre of the realm.

The Soul Realm made a sacrificial offering of the entire realm, summoning an extremely powerful existence: the Primordial Soul Beast.

The Primordial Soul Beast battled fiercely against that army but was also defeated. 

However, due to the special nature of the Primordial Soul Beast, it was difficult to kill.

To kill it, its soul had to be destroyed.

That general then abandoned his physical body and entered with his soul, intending to completely annihilate the Primordial Soul Beast.

After pondering silently, Lin Moyu was suddenly startled, "Could it be that we are inside the Primordial Soul Beast?"

"Did the Primordial Soul Beast really die?"

Lin Moyu's heart shook violently. If his guess was correct, then the situation might be troublesome.

His gaze swept over and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be more words on the cliff not far away.

He immediately flew over, hoping the words there could clear up the doubts in his heart and find a way to leave.

Indeed, there were more words, and not just in one place, all written by the same hand.

Lin Moyu searched repeatedly, reading all the words on the cliff, and finally understood the cause and effect, as well as the method for him to leave.

He was indeed inside the Primordial Soul Beast, and the entrance to Area 10-03 was the Primordial Soul Beast's mouth. 

They had voluntarily entered as food.

The Primordial Soul Beast was a terrifying being summoned by the Soul Realm with the power of the entire realm.

It existed between reality and illusion, its physical body seemingly present yet not, its soul extremely powerful.

To kill it, its soul had to be extinguished.

And its soul was hidden within an independent space inside its body, unable to be killed from the outside, only from the inside.

That general had abandoned his physical body and killed his way into the Primordial Soul Beast's body, into the independent space.

He and the Primordial Soul Beast were both severely wounded, almost perishing together.

After being severely injured, the Primordial Soul Beast fell into an endless slumber but did not truly die.

After being severely wounded, the Primordial Soul Beast hid in the depths of the independent space, no longer appearing.

At that time, the general had also suffered severe injuries, his soul on the verge of disintegration, unable to escape.

Before his death, with his last ounce of strength, he left behind the method to kill the Primordial Soul Beast.

Now, Lin Moyu was inside the independent space within the Primordial Soul Beast's body.

And the severely wounded soul of the Primordial Soul Beast was at the bottom of the pool.

These were not the most crucial points. The most crucial point was that if Lin Moyu wanted to leave, he had to go to the bottom of the pool and kill the Primordial Soul Beast.

All people or things that entered the Primordial Soul Beast's body could freely leave before entering the independent space.

But once they passed through the wind tunnel and entered the independent space, they could no longer leave.

That wind tunnel was actually the channel through which the Primordial Soul Beast absorbed energy from the outside world.

For countless years, it had continuously absorbed energy from the outside world, sustaining its own life, hoping that one day, its injuries would recover, and it could awaken again.

Lin Moyu returned to the light sphere supported by Xiao Bao, and Xiao Bao immediately asked, "How is it? Is there a way to leave?"

It was clear that Xiao Bao had also grown weary of staying here and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Or perhaps it missed its master.

Lin Moyu nodded, "There is a way to leave, but it's very difficult."

In his heart, he added, "No matter how difficult, I have to do it."

He didn't want to be trapped and die here. Although the difficulty was high, he had no choice but to try.

Xiao Bao said, "My young master also said it was very difficult before."

The young master Xiao Bao referred to was one of the three souls present.

Lin Moyu didn't know this young master's name, but it didn't matter.

Lin Moyu asked, "Xiao Bao, why did you all come here?"

Xiao Bao was completely guileless and trusted Lin Moyu wholeheartedly, "My young master seemed to have seen some ancient ruins somewhere and said there was a powerful starry sky beast here. If we killed it, we could obtain its star core and have a chance to step into the Other Shore."

"My young master has been stuck at the peak of the God Sovereign realm for a long time and has always wanted to enter the Other Shore but hasn't been able to succeed."

After hearing Xiao Bao's explanation, Lin Moyu understood.

Being stuck at the peak of the God Sovereign realm for a long time, with a chance to enter the Other Shore, of course they wouldn't let it pass.

For cultivators seeking the Dao, they were willing to risk their lives.

Xiao Bao's voice lowered, tinged with sadness, "My poor young master, not only did he fail to enter the Other Shore, but he almost died here."

Lin Moyu thought to himself, "It's not almost, he has already died."

Unless something unexpected happens, he will be trapped here forever, unable to leave.

When the time comes and his soul decays, he will disappear into nothingness.

Xiao Bao didn't seem worried about what would happen to itself at all but was instead concerned for its young master.

It was truly a kind-hearted and loyal artifact spirit.

Lin Moyu said, "I'll go and try. If I succeed, I'll take you all out."

Xiao Bao's hazy figure twisted violently, its voice becoming excited, "Really?"

Lin Moyu spoke to it like coaxing a child, "Really."

Xiao Bao said softly, "Then you must also be careful. If there's danger, run back here, and Xiao Bao will protect you."

Lin Moyu was amused by Xiao Bao and laughed heartily, "Okay."

With that, Lin Moyu flew out of the light sphere and dived straight into the pool.

The soul gem on the Scourge Staff suddenly shone brightly, emitting an unprecedented strong light.

Layer upon layer of strong light enveloped Lin Moyu, firmly protecting him.

The light spots from before and the clear water here could both harm the soul.

The light spots could weaken the connection between the soul and the physical body, causing the soul to become dull and lose its spirit.

The clear water here could corrode the soul, completely dissolving it.

The soul beasts in the water would directly inflict fatal damage to the soul.

In this place, without the protection of the soul gem, even if Lin Moyu's soul was at the Other Shore realm, he would still face trouble.

With the soul gem's protection, passing through the wind tunnel was no problem, and he could withstand the corrosion of the clear water.

However, if he encountered too many soul beasts, he would still be surrounded and killed.

A fifth-grade purple jade soul at the Other Shore realm was very strong, much stronger than a fourth-grade soul at the God Sovereign realm, surpassing it in all aspects, but it had not reached the level of defying the heavens.

The Primordial Soul Beast, with the power of an entire realm, was the true representative of a powerful soul. Even in its severely injured and slumbering state, it was not something a fifth-grade purple jade soul could compare to.

Lin Moyu deeply felt that those powerful beings from ancient times were truly terrifying.

Lin Moyu sank deeper and deeper into the pool, heading towards the location pointed out by the ancient general.

Waves of movement came from within the pool, the water surging and rolling, with soul beasts flying towards him one after another.

To them, Lin Moyu was an outsider, an invader who had to be eliminated.

The soul gem released a powerful light sphere, blocking the soul beasts' attacks.

The soul beasts slammed into the yellow light sphere, but the sphere remained motionless, while the soul beasts were blasted away.

Some soul beasts opened their massive mouths and bit down, but their jaws shattered, and their bodies exploded.

The defensive barrier formed by the soul gem was much stronger than Xiao Bao's defense.

Not only did it block attacks, but it also had a certain counterattack ability, injuring many soul beasts.

The number of soul beasts was indeed vast, too numerous to count.

As far as the eye could see, there were only soul beasts, endlessly attacking Lin Moyu.

But no matter how fierce their attacks were, they could not stop Lin Moyu.

Until Lin Moyu reached the bottom of the pool, passing through a layer that resembled a thin membrane, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
