 Chapter 3178: No Need to Be So Troublesome, They Can't Get Through

Su Li instinctively felt that Lin Moyu might be about to do something big.

Lin Moyu said, "The Flower of Destiny has already had problems. Now it's guiding us here, but no one knows if this path is the most difficult."

"I see many creatures in the dense forest, but none above the seventh-level Dao Venerable realm. Something must have changed in the forest."

"It's possible that even the formations inside have changed, perhaps becoming much more dangerous."

"And as you said, although these creatures aren't strong in combat, they're quite troublesome."

"Even if I'm confident in my luck, with the ancestral land changed, relying on luck alone might not work anymore."

Su Li felt Lin Moyu's words made a lot of sense. The ancestral land had indeed undergone some unpredictable changes, and their past experiences might no longer be useful.

Not only might they be useless, but their past experiences could even become a deadly poison.

Su Li said, "The clan leader instructed that as long as Mr. Lin can remove the danger from the ancestral land, you can do whatever you want."

Lin Moyu said, "Don't agree so quickly. I plan to level this Ten Directions Forest, regardless of what formations or creatures are inside, and flatten it all to the ground."

Su Li was startled. Lin Moyu's idea was so bold. He suppressed his shock and said, "Mr. Lin, the Ten Directions Forest is protected by the ancestral land spirit's power. Even a ninth-level Dao Venerable couldn't topple it."

Lin Moyu smiled, "Do you think the ancestral land spirit can still manage these things now?"

Su Li then realized that the ancestral land spirit might indeed be unable to manage these things now.

Lin Moyu continued, "I suspect the ancestral land spirit is already struggling to protect itself and has no energy left to manage other things."

"If it really still has the power, I'll stop in time and think of another way."

While saying this, Lin Moyu had already thought of a second method.

The second method was actually quite simple: continuously use the destiny talisman to predict changes in the next five seconds, ensuring they wouldn't take a wrong path.

However, this would be very slow and troublesome, and Lin Moyu disliked trouble.

After much thought, Su Li felt Lin Moyu was indeed correct. If the ancestral land spirit really had the power to manage this place, they could stop then.

Moreover, no one could guarantee that the current Ten Directions Forest was still the same as before.

Su Li said softly, "If that's the case, then Mr. Lin, please go ahead."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Then I'll begin. Let's test it!"

With a thought, the Five Elements Sword Demon appeared beside him.

Su Li looked at this little creature, barely larger than a fist, wondering what use it could have.

The Five Elements Sword Demon's aura was concealed, at least not noticeable before it took action.

The Sword Dao appeared, surrounding the Five Elements Sword Demon.

The demon's aura suddenly erupted. Empowered by the Sword Dao, a towering sword aura surged from its body, reaching the seventh-level Dao Venerable realm.

Technique: Five Elements Sword Sea!

Five swords of different attributes flew out from the Sword Dao. The Five Elements Sword Demon pointed with its small hand, and the five swords immediately slashed towards the dense forest ahead, followed by countless swords filling the sky.

The swords formed a sea, with huge waves reaching the sky, enveloping the dense forest ahead.

Su Li felt the power of this sword attack and was moved.

This attack was very strong. Even though he was at the eighth-level Dao Venerable realm, if faced with this attack, he would have to retreat.

If he tried to withstand it head-on, he would inevitably be injured to some extent.

He never expected such a small body could unleash such astonishing power.

Lin Moyu calmly said, "If the ancestral land spirit still has power, it should use the rules within the ancestral land to stop this attack."

Su Li nodded, "It should. In the past, ancestors have used great force in the dense forest, trying to destroy it, but their power was always suppressed, and they even received punishment."

Lin Moyu said, "Your ancestor set the rules, and the ancestral land spirit maintains and enforces them. The ancestral land spirit is like a steward. You could say it's useful, indeed very useful, but you could also say it's useless, as it doesn't really have much use."

In Lin Moyu's view, the ancestral land spirit was similar to a tool spirit.

When the ancestral land was intact, it was the great steward within, second only to the Celestial Fox ancestor.

But no matter how strong it was, it relied only on the rules within the ancestral land, originating from the Celestial Fox ancestor.

When the ancestral land's rules had problems, its power would greatly weaken.

This attack could be seen as a test, to see what state the ancestral land spirit was truly in.

As the sword sea fell, ancient trees in the dense forest collapsed, and the creatures within died under the sword sea.

The sword sea covered hundreds of li, plowing through this ancient land again and again.

Mountains crumbled under the sword sea, emitting rumbling sounds. In the blink of an eye, the high mountains before Lin Moyu had turned into a pile of ruins.

Yet even so, the ancestral land spirit showed no reaction, and no formations appeared either.

Lin Moyu asked Su Li, "What do you think?"

Su Li said, "It seems the ancestral land spirit indeed has no energy to spare. In the past, it would have definitely intervened to stop this."

"But why didn't the formations appear?"

Lin Moyu said, "It's simple. The formations weren't actually here. The previous formations were also controlled by the ancestral land spirit. They could be instantly deployed when needed and withdrawn when not."

"That's why you couldn't discover the formations by any method."

"Now it has no energy to manage other things, so naturally, the formations won't appear."

"If I'm not mistaken, in the past, the ancestral land spirit could clearly see your destiny."

"People with strong destiny, as long as they weren't too lacking in other aspects, could gain recognition."

"Those with weak destiny, unless they excelled in other areas, couldn't gain recognition."

Su Li's eyes were full of shock, "You're talking about destiny? Not luck?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, destiny, not luck. I can sense the power of destiny here. I guess your ancestor must have comprehended the Dao of Destiny, so he could see destiny."

"Strong destiny leads to strong luck. What's truly being tested in the ancestral land is destiny, not luck."

"Your bloodline should have inherited part of your ancestor's ability, which is why you can see others' luck."

Su Li's eyes flashed with light, "Mr. Lin, can you see destiny?"

Lin Moyu said, "I can see it, which is why I could analyze the root of the problem."

"From the current situation, the ancestral land spirit doesn't seem to be in a good state. It definitely has no energy to manage this place."

"The creatures in the Ten Directions Forest have been alerted and are coming towards us. I guess they've also been affected by the invaders."

Su Li also sensed a large number of creatures rushing towards them.

His expression changed slightly, "I'll clear them out."

Lin Moyu shook his head, "No need to be so troublesome. They can't get through!"

With a point of his finger, space violently distorted, and the Skeletal Hell appeared in response, instantly expanding to its maximum size, enveloping most of the Ten Directions Forest within it.

Hell fiends flew out, biting at the creatures rushing in.

No matter how many creatures rushed in, the Skeletal Hell accepted them all.

The hell fiends didn't just eat creatures; they ate everything else too.

The Ten Directions Forest collapsed at a visible speed. This time, not even ruins were left; it completely vanished into thin air.
