Chapter 3665: Simple Traps Are the Most Effective
This time, Lin Moyu activated the Soul Refining Furnace with great ferocity, and its aura quickly spread to other small soul domains. The kings who had previously fought over the furnace had left their unique soul imprints on it. These imprints were undetectable to anyone except the kings themselves.
Lin Moyu couldn't sense or erase these imprints, so he used them to lure the kings. By doing so, he was broadcasting to the nearby small soul domains: "The Soul Refining Furnace has appeared again; come and fight for it!"
The reappearance of the Soul Refining Furnace excited the kings who had recently returned. Unlike the Soul Heart King, these kings weren't intelligent or independent thinkers. The Soul Refining Furnace represented their hope for transcendence, and they would inevitably come.
Lin Moyu whispered: "The net is cast; now, let's see when the fish will take the bait."
Little Python asked quietly: "Will those kings really come?"
Lin Moyu replied: "They certainly will. Transcendence is the instinct of void beasts, and there aren't many Soul Heart Kings in the Void Realm."
At that moment, Lin Moyu's Treasure Mountain fragment suddenly transmitted the voice of the Soul Heart King: "Lin friend is too kind."
Lin Moyu hadn't intentionally hidden the Soul Heart King's presence and couldn't help but smile: "Soul Heart Friend, would you like to come and watch the excitement?"
The Soul Heart King replied: "Lin friend is too polite. I recently gained some insights and won't be coming."
The Soul Heart King was sipping tea made from the Golden Silver Tree's sap and the World Tree's leaves, enjoying clear and lucid thoughts about his Dao. He was indifferent to Lin Moyu's actions.
Lin Moyu didn't force the issue: "Then I wish Soul Heart Friend great progress in his cultivation."
The Soul Heart King also responded: "I wish Lin friend achieves his heart's desire."
Lin Moyu slowly activated the Soul Refining Furnace, producing one void soul pill after another. Half a day later, Lin Moyu suddenly flew out a divine rune that exploded, enveloping himself and Little Python, causing them to disappear.
Little Python knew that this meant void beasts were approaching. Indeed, soon, void beasts appeared in the distance, flying towards them while searching for something.
When they saw the Soul Refining Furnace, the void beasts' eyes gleamed, and they rushed towards it. Meanwhile, another group of powerful void beasts appeared from a different direction.
These two groups of void beasts, each from different small soul domains, had come for the Soul Refining Furnace. They clashed fiercely.
Lin Moyu observed that the void beasts' realms were mostly between the second and fourth levels of the soul. He didn't see any first-level soul void beasts.
Lin Moyu said: "First-level soul void beasts are either killed by the small soul domain kings or have fled to distant lands; I wonder where they went."
Little Python mentioned: "I've heard of a place called the Beast Abyss, where only first-level void beasts can enter. I don't know what happens inside."
The Beast Abyss? It seemed the Void Realm had many secrets.
Lin Moyu's voice was low: "Why didn't you mention this before?"
Little Python shivered: "You didn't ask before, Master."
Lin Moyu chuckled, frightening Little Python, who looked pitiful. "Little Python didn't mean to hide it; you just didn't think of it before. You only heard it occasionally and didn't know where the Beast Abyss was."
Lin Moyu said seriously: "Let it go this time, but in the future, speak up if you have anything to say."
As he spoke, Lin Moyu threw a soul crystal to Little Python, offering a sweet date after a slap.
The two groups of void beasts fought fiercely, drawing closer to the Soul Refining Furnace. The furnace, under Lin Moyu's control, continued to emit flames and produce void soul pills.
The aroma of the void soul pills had a strong attraction for the void beasts, who were irresistibly drawn to them.
Lin Moyu gazed into the distance: "There's another group of void beasts; they should be making their move soon."
In his line of sight, he saw massive soul flames in the distance. The third group of void beasts had been waiting, but they hadn't come yet, clearly waiting for the first two groups to weaken each other.
The leader of the third group was somewhat smarter. However, due to the presence of the void soul pills, the first two groups were no longer focused on fighting; they were more like decoys, constantly moving closer to the pills.
Void beasts weren't intelligent; faced with temptation, they forgot their masters' orders. They were no longer there for the Soul Refining Furnace but were fixated on the void soul pills.
Such an army, if placed in the real world, would be completely incompetent.
Finally, seeing the void beasts closing in on the Soul Refining Furnace, the observing void beasts from the third group couldn't resist and charged forward.
Lin Moyu shook his head: "A bit clever, but not enough."
In his view, the trap he had set wasn't sophisticated; it was even a bit foolish. It wasn't that he couldn't come up with a better layout, but more complex traps might not work on these unintelligent void beasts. Simple traps were the most effective against such foes.
The third group's entry made the scene even more chaotic. A massive battle erupted around the Soul Refining Furnace.
Lin Moyu didn't intervene, letting them fight among themselves. The mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole waits behind; since the small soul domain kings hadn't made their move yet, Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry.
Moreover, the fourth group of void beasts hadn't arrived. He thought: "Previously, there were four kings attacking the Grass Soul King. Now, only three groups of void beasts have come. Is it because that king is farther away, or what?"
He wanted to catch them all in one net. Having put so much effort into this, it would be a waste if he missed one.
However, for now, there seemed to be no better way; he could only wait and see how things developed.
The void beasts fought more chaotically, unable to approach the Soul Refining Furnace.
Lin Moyu checked the time and, with a thought, stopped the furnace's flames, making it appear as if it might leave at any moment.
If this were the real world, a cultivator would notice something was amiss. However, the void beasts didn't; they became anxious.
In Lin Moyu's line of sight, four intense soul flames suddenly appeared.
"Ah, they've all arrived."
Lin Moyu felt reassured, seeing that the four small soul domain kings had arrived.
At this point, the number of void beast groups or whose they were no longer mattered. His main target was these kings; the rest were just extras.
The kings feared the Soul Refining Furnace might disappear again or that they might be preempted by others. They also worried that if they obtained the furnace, they would be targeted by the other kings.
Under these complex emotions, the kings finally couldn't resist and charged towards the Soul Refining Furnace.
Massive forces clashed in the Void Realm, causing the Great Dao to tremble. The void space was extremely resilient and didn't break, not even cracking.
If this were the real world, a battle between Dao Lord would have shattered the space long ago.
The four kings fought while rushing towards the Soul Refining Furnace.
Lin Moyu, hiding in the shadows, smiled slightly: "Begin, formation activate!"
With his thought, the Thousand Dao, Ten Thousand Phenomena Formation suddenly appeared.
The Great Dao roared, with fire burning, winds blowing, and soul impacts. Countless phenomena shone brightly, illuminating the Void Realm's space.
The void beasts let out unending cries of agony.
