Chapter 3756: Once There's a First Time, There Will Be a Second
Two massive armies clashed violently, both sides unrelenting and focused solely on attacking without any defense. Although second-tier souls were not particularly strong compared to Great Dao Lords, the sheer scale of the battle made it even more spectacular than one involving only Great Dao Lords.
After just two or three collisions, Lin Moyu noticed a fundamental difference between the malevolent spirits from the Hell Great Dao and those from Skeleton Hell.
The malevolent spirits from the Hell Great Dao lacked the resilience, combat strength, and ferocity of Skeleton Hell's spirits.
Most importantly, they didn't possess the "devour everything" trait.
The spirits from the Hell Great Dao primarily relied on its power to manifest flames that burned enemies. In essence, they remained tied to the nature of the Hell Great Dao itself.
In contrast, Lin Moyu's Skeleton Hell spirits genuinely had the ability to devour anything. Even at the Dao Venerable level, they could consume Great Daos.
And these weren't just any projections of Great Daos they were actual Great Daos.
If they could devour Great Daos, what couldn't they devour?
The distinction between the two was clear. Lin Moyu confirmed that his Skeleton Hell was not derived from the Hell Great Dao. While there might be some connection between them, it had nothing to do with the Hell Master himself.
The fragments of hell from before were merely nutrients for Skeleton Hell's evolution at most, a particularly unique type of nourishment.
The Other Shore Realm Master was visibly shocked upon seeing Lin Moyu's vast undead army. With a thought, his Red Spider Lily bloomed, releasing numerous flower spirits at the level of Great Dao Lords.
These weren't true Great Dao Lords but flower spirits nurtured by the Red Spider Lily itself.
The flower spirits moved as if teleporting, instantly surrounding Lin Moyu from all directions within a distance of less than 100,000 miles.
They formed a battle formation and attacked simultaneously.
Lin Moyu released a Void Sealing Divine Rune; the Thousand Paths and Myriad Images Formation materialized just in time to engulf all the flower spirits before they could strike.
He then unleashed a cluster of World-Burning Fire. The fire blended seamlessly with the flames of the Hell Great Dao and entered it.
Boom!
Flames erupted from the Hell Great Dao as World-Burning Fire began consuming it.
Since the Hell Great Dao was connected to the Other Shore Realm Master, the fire quickly spread to him through this link.
Screams echoed as flames engulfed his body. Furious, he roared: "What kind of fire is this?"
Lin Moyu replied calmly: "The kind that can burn you."
At this moment, the five-element giant broke through the flames of the Hell Great Dao and struck repeatedly with its sword, forcing back the Hell Great Dao.
The Red Spider Lily swayed wildly and released a large amount of pollen that landed on the five-element giant before exploding violently.
However, clad in armor, the five-element giant ignored these explosions and continued swinging its sword at the world will.
Petals fell in droves as damage appeared on the world will.
The Other Shore Realm Master's expression changed drastically his anger growing fiercer. He had spent countless years nurturing his world will to its current form; if it suffered too much damage, it would revert to its original state undoing all his efforts.
"I'll kill you!" he roared as he finally decided to act personally.
He produced a drum-shaped treasure and struck it.
Boom!
A deep sound reverberated as Lin Moyu groaned; his soul trembled violently under an invisible force that seemed intent on tearing it apart.
"The Soul-Shattering Drum!" Lin Moyu recognized this legendary treasure a weapon specifically designed to target souls and capable of shattering even those of Great Dao Lords.
Boom!
Another strike sent cracks through Lin Moyu's soul.
"You're doomed after three strikes!" declared the Other Shore Realm Master triumphantly.
Lin Moyu quickly retreated into his Thousand Paths and Myriad Images Formation, hoping to evade further attacks from the Soul-Shattering Drum.
He still couldn't figure out how it was locking onto him; there was no detectable force from any heavenly law.
The Other Shore Realm Master raised his drumstick high: "It's useless you can't escape!"
Boom!
The third strike landed and Lin Moyu's soul shattered like foam bubbles.
With cold eyes, the Other Shore Realm Master sneered: "A mere second-tier soul seeking death."
Suddenly, a voice echoed: "I'm not so easy to kill."
Amidst purple light, Lin Moyu resurrected once more.
The Other Shore Realm Master's expression shifted dramatically: "Impossible! How are you still alive?"
Lin Moyu smiled faintly but didn't bother explaining.
Seeing this the Other Shore Realm Master struck his drum again but this time it had no effect as Lin Moyu remained unharmed within his formation.
Lin Moyu remarked: "If I'm not mistaken the Soul-Shattering Drum relies on Cause and Effect Great Dao for its targeting. Once locked on it cannot be escaped but after three strikes it must lock on again."
"Unfortunately for you I'm within my formation so even Cause and Effect cannot reach me."
The Other Shore Realm Master growled coldly: "You can't hide forever!"
Lin Moyu shook his head: "I don't need forever just long enough."
Meanwhile the five-element giant continued ignoring explosions from Red Spider Lily's pollen; its damaged armor repaired itself continuously as Xiao Xiong wielded its sword relentlessly carving open a massive breach in this world while forcing back Red Spider Lily repeatedly.
As barriers around this world shattered World-Burning Fire surged inward unchecked spreading destruction indiscriminately.
Lin Moyu cared little about what lay within he would burn everything regardless!
Hundreds of billions more undead soldiers poured forth like a tidal wave into this world intent on wreaking havoc.
Realizing what was happening the Other Shore Realm Master turned pale; if these undead soldiers infiltrated fully they would devastate everything he had built over countless years.
Roaring in fury he transformed into a giant himself and rushed to block their entry point at once.
Lin Moyu chuckled softly: "You can't stop them."
As expected the five-element giant swung its sword again forcing him back while shattering his flaming blade in their clash leaving gaps wide open for undead forces to flood inside unchecked spreading destruction everywhere they went.
Desperate the Other Shore Realm Master recalled Red Spider Lily back into his world to combat invading undead forces directly.
But with billions of second-tier souls rampaging freely even this small world couldn't endure for long.
Lin Moyu laughed lightly: "Do you really think you can hold them off?"
Enraged the Other Shore Realm Master bellowed: "I'll cut you down!"
Perhaps in reality his words might have held truth but here in Soul Void things were different.
Both he and his world will operated at reduced strength compared to their full power in reality.
Meanwhile in Soul Void Lin Moyu wielded overwhelming tools like World-Burning Fire the five-element giant and formations like Thousand Paths all tipping scales heavily against him.
Faced with such disparity the Other Shore Realm Master could only suffer silently and fatally so.
At this moment the True Fire Spirit appeared beside Lin Moyu it couldn't attack directly due to lingering heavenly punishment but activating True Fire Great Dao remained possible.
Lin Moyu summoned her primarily as intimidation a psychological blow against someone who had already lost much courage over time.
Once broken it becomes easier again and facing mortal danger the Other Shore Realm Master might submit once more.
As True Fire Great Dao manifested visibly the Other Shore Realm Master let out an anguished cry.
