Chapter 2249: It's Really Difficult
In the blink of an eye, six years had passed, and the Black Blood Frenzy was almost completely gone.
After devouring and absorbing a large amount of the Black Blood Frenzy, the Bone Hell had grown significantly, now spanning 0.2 light-years.
The Hellfire River had become wider, and the spider lilies had become more vibrant.
The Ten Suns in the sky remained unchanged, but the flames they emitted had become more intense.
Although the number of hell fiends hadn't increased and still numbered in the billions, their power had increased, and their auras had become stronger.
They were like bottomless pits, never getting full no matter how much they ate.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird was completely at ease, its aura recovering, and the origin power it had previously consumed had partially returned.
Finally, in the seventh year of the Black Blood Frenzy, the Bone Hell had completely devoured it, leaving nothing behind.
Thus, the Black Blood Great World's million-year plan was declared bankrupt.
The next task became simple: follow the direction from which the Black Blood Great World Saint Lords had come and search accordingly.
Based on the direction, the hidden location of the Black Blood Great World should be in the dark void between the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise star regions, but other places couldn't be ruled out.
In the end, all four dark voids and the four battlegrounds needed to be swept clean.
This task was time-consuming and labor-intensive but necessary.
The Black Blood Great World had to be completely eradicated, leaving no trace.
The Vermilion Bird said softly, "It would be great if we could awaken the White Tiger."
"Why?" Lin Moyu asked.
The Vermilion Bird replied, "The White Tiger possesses a spell called Bloodline Tracking. With this spell, we can track the Black Blood Great World no matter where they hide."
Such a spell existed? Lin Moyu had once revived people from the Black Blood Great World.
From the revived individuals, he learned that the Black Blood Great World constantly changed locations. Every so often, their position would change. Moreover, those revived individuals didn't know about the Black Blood Frenzy, indicating that information within the Black Blood Great World was tightly controlled. Each person only knew their own task and didn't know what others were doing.
This time, Lin Moyu had roughly pinpointed the area but couldn't guarantee finding them.
If they had the White Tiger's spell, it would save a lot of trouble.
While opening a space gate and flying towards the dark void, Lin Moyu asked, "How can we awaken the White Tiger?"
The Vermilion Bird replied, "It's difficult. The White Tiger is different from me; it doesn't have the ability of nirvana."
"There are only two ways to awaken it. One is for the great world to awaken it."
"The second way is to attack it. As long as the attack is strong enough, it might awaken."
Attack it? Lin Moyu felt that didn't seem too difficult.
The Vermilion Bird shook its head, "It's very difficult to attack the White Tiger. You'll understand when you see it."
The space gate opened repeatedly, and the two crossed star regions at the fastest speed, entering the dark void between the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise star regions.
Upon entering the dark void, the Vermilion Bird's eyes showed disgust, "The power of the Black Blood Great World is revolting."
Now they knew that the dark void was the residue of the Black Blood Frenzy, containing the origin power of the Black Blood Great World. It was a scar left by the Black Blood Great World in the great world.
Lin Moyu asked, "Is there a way to clean it up?"
The Vermilion Bird said, "The Black Tortoise can do it. Its origin water can purify everything, including the dark void."
"We four origin divine beasts each have different abilities and can accomplish different tasks."
Lin Moyu was curious, "Actually, I'm very curious. Back then, there were many Heavenly Sovereigns and countless Supremes in the great world. Why did it need to nurture you?"
The Vermilion Bird replied, "That's because we possess different origins and can accomplish many things that even Heavenly Sovereigns can't."
"For example, my flames can burn everything."
"The White Tiger's Bloodline Tracking can track enemies through their bloodline, leaving them nowhere to hide."
"The Black Tortoise's purification power can cleanse everything."
"And the Azure Dragon is the strongest in combat among us four. At its peak, it could rival a Heavenly Sovereign."
The four origin divine beasts each had their strengths and, to a certain extent, represented the great world.
Unlike Heavenly Sovereigns, they would never betray and would live and die with the great world.
Compared to Heavenly Sovereigns, they were much more loyal and reliable.
In the dark void, Lin Moyu searched for many days but found nothing.
It was unclear whether the Black Blood Great World had already fled or if their hiding methods were too good to be discovered.
The Vermilion Bird said, "They should have fled. I can sense traces of black blood left here."
Lin Moyu was somewhat helpless, "It seems we must rely on the White Tiger's Bloodline Tracking spell."
"Let's go. We'll try to awaken the White Tiger."
He said this while opening another space gate, preparing to head to the White Tiger Battleground.
The Vermilion Bird reminded, "Don't get your hopes up too high."
In the core area of the White Tiger Battleground, a space gate appeared, and the Vermilion Bird flew out with a cry, followed closely by Lin Moyu.
A gust of wind blew, almost blowing Lin Moyu away.
Barely managing to stand firm, Lin Moyu exclaimed, "What a strong wind."
The Vermilion Bird said, "We're still far away. It will get stronger."
The two flew towards the center of the battleground, and the wind grew stronger and more violent.
Lin Moyu thought of a race he had once exterminated, called the White Tiger Clan.
This White Tiger was different from that one, vastly different, with no relation between the two.
After traveling billions of kilometers, Lin Moyu finally saw the White Tiger divine beast.
Its body was over a million kilometers long, lying in the starry sky, emitting a pure white light.
The origin aura on its body was even more intense than that of the Vermilion Bird, indicating its combat power was above the Vermilion Bird's.
Gusts of wind emanated from the White Tiger, sweeping across the starry sky, omnipresent.
Even billions of kilometers away, Lin Moyu could barely stand.
He activated his Undying Golden Body, barely resisting the wind.
The wind had no special attributes; it was just extremely strong, with immense power and incredible speed.
The wind speed had surpassed the speed of light, an almost unimaginable phenomenon.
The sheer force of the wind was terrifying. If a Divine Sovereign stood here, they would be torn to pieces by the wind, leaving no bones behind.
Unlike the area around the Vermilion Bird, where cosmic beasts absorbed the origin aura, the wind here left nothing alive.
As they approached within tens of millions of kilometers, still fifty million kilometers away from the White Tiger, Lin Moyu felt he had reached his limit.
If he got any closer, he would die.
The Vermilion Bird said, "You can try attacking it!"
Lin Moyu summoned the Skeleton General and unleashed sword energy.
The sword energy was dispersed by the wind before it could travel ten thousand kilometers, falling far short.
Lin Moyu tried to lock onto the White Tiger, but it was impossible; his soul power couldn't extend that far.
The wind not only dispersed spells but could also scatter souls.
Unable to lock onto the White Tiger, the Skeleton King's God Slayer Sword would be useless, and his Corpse Explosion wouldn't work either.
Fifty million kilometers, a distance he couldn't cross.
Lin Moyu tried using the space law but found that the space here, though seemingly intact, was actually riddled with holes and fragments, making it impossible to traverse.
The Vermilion Bird said, "Now you see, it's very difficult to approach the White Tiger."
Lin Moyu agreed, it was indeed very difficult.
His first thought was to have Lin Moxuan come and use her One Sword to Part the Sea to strike the White Tiger.
Whether it would work or not was uncertain.
The Vermilion Bird continued, "The wind around the White Tiger contains origin power and can blow away anything. Whether it's laws, rules, or treasures, they will all be blown to pieces."
"Especially within ten million kilometers of the White Tiger, where the wind is the fiercest. That's the most difficult area."
Around the White Tiger, besides the fierce wind, there were countless tornadoes swirling, making it the most challenging place, as the Vermilion Bird had said.
Lin Moyu felt helpless; it was really difficult!
