Chapter 3798: The Emperor in Beast Abyss
Traversing through Small Spirit Domains, Lin Moyu and Little Python approached the edge of World Tree Great Spirit Domain.
Little Python remarked, "Master, this leaf feels unusual."
Lin Moyu chuckled. "It's just a tracking feature. But he should know I can block it if needed."
"Don't worry since he gave it to us, we'll use it openly. Once we leave the domain, we'll deal with it."
"At least for now, it makes things more convenient within the domain."
Little Python nodded. "What about after we leave? Are we heading back to Golden Furnace Great Spirit Domain?"
Lin Moyu replied, "Yes, it's about time to return. I also need to visit some places along the way."
This journey of over a century had been fruitful expanding Lin Moyu's horizons and yielding significant gains.
He had collected twenty-five essence orbs from Great Dao Beasts but hadn't encountered any virtual-illusory realms in recent decades. His stock of innate primordial treasure materials remained at three pieces one of which was gifted by Redstone Emperor.
This scarcity underscored how rare such treasures were far harder to obtain than essence orbs.
Even Discernment Beast coveted these materials making Lin Moyu's acquisition of three pieces a rare achievement.
Upon reaching the edge of World Tree Great Spirit Domain, Lin Moyu found himself at Beast Abyss a vast, enigmatic region encircling the domain.
Beast Abyss moved unpredictably its pace varied making precise navigation challenging.
Little Python muttered, "Last time we saw Human Sovereign near Beast Abyss. I wonder if he's still there."
Lin Moyu smiled faintly. "Who knows? For now, he's nowhere in sight."
Choosing a direction, they decided to bypass Beast Abyss entirely.
While its range was vast, it posed no danger as long as they didn't venture too close.
Suddenly, the void trembled, and angry roars echoed from within Beast Abyss as if something was trying to break free.
Little Python shivered. "What is that sound? It's terrifying."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Probably some entity within Beast Abyss."
Beast Abyss served as a passage between Soul Void and the real world facilitating reincarnation for countless beings.
Inside Beast Abyss, virtual beasts queued orderly for reincarnation a phenomenon Lin Moyu had observed before.
However, he knew his observations likely represented only the surface of Beast Abyss. Its true nature was far more complex and powerful entities within were not uncommon.
The roars grew louder, and Beast Abyss shook violently as an overwhelming aura erupted like a volcanic explosion.
Terrified, Little Python retreated quickly, opting for a longer route to ensure safety.
"Silence!"
A commanding voice rang out and above Beast Abyss, a massive tree appeared.
The tree loomed over Beast Abyss its presence suppressing everything as tranquility returned instantly.
Lin Moyu squinted slightly and murmured, "World Tree."
Even without seeing its true form the pervasive aura of World Tree was unmistakable. Where World Tree appeared World Tree Emperor was sure to follow.
Amidst World Tree's glowing branches, a vague silhouette emerged shrouded in hazy light that obscured its features.
For several seconds, Beast Abyss remained silent under World Tree's suppression but soon resumed trembling violently as furious cries echoed from within:
"Let me out!"
World Tree Emperor's voice responded calmly yet authoritatively: "The real world is your destination."
Accompanied by this dignified proclamation World Tree emitted radiant light that enveloped all of Beast Abyss.
The entity within Beast Abyss continued roaring defiantly: "Let me out!"
Its cries grew weaker with each attempt as Beast Abyss ceased trembling entirely under World Tree Emperor's suppression. Ultimately the entity failed to escape and silence returned once more.
World Tree Emperor's power was awe-inspiring subduing all of Beast Abyss single-handedly. Minutes later, Beast Abyss stabilized and World Tree disappeared from view.
Little Python marveled aloud, "What could be inside Beast Abyss?"
Lin Moyu didn't answer instead gazing thoughtfully ahead.
Earlier World Tree Emperor had mentioned the real world and the entity within Beast Abyss had demanded release. This exchange suggested that the entity originally belonged to Soul Void but entered Beast Abyss and now sought to return. However World Tree Emperor denied its request instead urging it toward the real world. From their brief dialogue Lin Moyu deduced the general situation not necessarily accurate but close enough.
One thing became clear the entity in Beast Abyss wasn't a virtual beast. Even first-tier innate soul virtual beasts would obediently queue for reincarnation upon entering Beast Abyss with no exceptions. Similarly even Small Spirit Domain Kings lacked such capabilities. The only beings capable of retaining consciousness within Beast Abyss and attempting escape were emperors.
Lin Moyu speculated that this entity was likely a former emperor who entered Beast Abyss and possibly the previous World Tree Emperor himself. Regretful it sought return but was blocked by its successor. World Tree Emperor's decision made sense a second emperor in World Tree Great Spirit Domain would undoubtedly cause problems.
Recognizing this as an emperor-level conflict Lin Moyu resolved to stay far away from such matters.
After taking a lengthy detour around Beast Abyss they finally exited World Tree Great Spirit Domain and entered a vacuum zone. Adjusting his direction based on his connection with his physical body Lin Moyu set course for Golden Furnace Great Spirit Domain.
As World Tree Great Spirit Domain faded into the distance Little Python relaxed visibly: "Finally we're heading home!"
Lin Moyu chuckled: "You miss home too?"
Little Python grinned: "Even though I'm just a virtual beast I'm still part of Golden Furnace Great Spirit Domain. Of course I miss home."
Smiling wistfully Lin Moyu murmured: "Yes we all miss home." Thinking of his wives he sighed softly: "Do you miss home too?"
Confused by his sudden sentimentality Little Python asked hesitantly: "Master is something wrong?"
Shaking his head gently Lin Moyu replied: "Nothing I was just reminiscing."
Suddenly his expression changed sharply and he shouted urgently: "Stop!"
Little Python halted immediately as Lin Moyu stared intently ahead.
Amidst dazzling Great Dao energy a faint glimmer appeared in his line of sight.
Activating Undead Eye revealed more detail it was a soul fragment floating thousands of miles ahead.
If they hadn't stopped they would have collided directly with it.
Despite being just a fragment it exuded immense power that unnerved Lin Moyu.
Little Python saw nothing in its view the path ahead was pitch black and empty.
Patting Little Python reassuringly Lin Moyu released a divine rune and instructed softly: "Go inside."
Though uncertain about what was happening Little Python obediently entered the rune space it trusted Lin Moyu implicitly.
Securing Little Python safely away Lin Moyu summoned Space Dao Spirit before cautiously approaching closer and stopped one thousand miles away from the fragment.
Bowing respectfully toward it from afar he asked humbly:
