Abstract: In this paper, we prove that the ring of polynomial invariants of the Weyl group for an indecomposable and indefinite Kac-Moody Lie algebra is generated by invariant symmetric bilinear form or is trivial depending on $A$ is symmetrizable or not. The result was conjectured by Moody and assumed by Kac. As applications we discuss the rational homotopy types of Kac-Moody groups and their flag manifolds.
