Chapter 3369: From Zero to One is the Hardest

As soon as the Sealing Formation activated, flames shot to the sky. The World-Burning Fire had already entered the formation, turning it into a sea of fire.

The Black Blood remnant soul trapped in the formation had nowhere to escape and let out a terrifying scream.

At the same time, Old Tree controlled the glacier, forcibly suppressing the Black Blood remnant soul. The suppressing power instantly multiplied several times, making it difficult for the Black Blood remnant soul to move.

The Black Blood remnant soul screamed incessantly. It transformed into a giant black-robed figure, punching out again and again, causing the Sealing Formation to shake unstably.

Lin Moyu left the tree root, his gaze fixed firmly on the Sealing Formation.

If the Sealing Formation showed any signs of failing, he would immediately repair it.

What was trapped now was from a Black Blood Fist Saint, a Great Dao realm powerhouse comparable to a seventh-grade innate soul. Even with less than 30% of its soul remaining, it was still terrifyingly strong.

The Sealing Formation rumbled non-stop, constantly shaking. The power in the Origin Crystals was being rapidly consumed.

The World-Burning Fire burned continuously, incinerating the Black Blood remnant soul, trying to refine it.

Unfortunately, the World-Burning Fire wasn't strong enough yet, and Lin Moyu's realm was also a bit lacking. It would take a long time to truly burn the opponent to death.

After just a few minutes, some Origin Crystals were already depleted of power.

Lin Moyu acted quickly, swiftly replacing them.

He didn't have many other treasures, but he had plenty of Origin Crystals and could afford to use them.

Lin Moyu stared intently at the formation, knowing in his heart that he was already halfway to success.

He could clearly sense that after about ten minutes of burning, the Black Blood remnant soul's power had weakened somewhat, while the World-Burning Fire had grown stronger.

At the current rate, as long as he persisted for two hours, the Black Blood remnant soul would have no chance to escape.

During this process, at most he would consume some eighth-grade Origin Crystals. Lin Moyu considered this a trifling matter, completely affordable.

Suddenly he thought of something, "Old Tree, beware of a cornered beast biting back. It might control glacier beasts to attack you."

Old Tree chuckled, "They've already come!"

Old Tree was even happier than Lin Moyu to see the Black Blood remnant soul trapped.

As for the glacier beasts, Old Tree didn't take them seriously at all.

On the glacier, he was a Great Dao realm being.

Even if eighth extreme Glacier Beast Kings came, they could only obediently lie down.

Lin Moyu said, "What I mean is, those glacier beasts that come, after you kill them, can you leave the fragments for me?"

Old Tree agreed without hesitation, "No problem, I'll leave them all for you."

He agreed very readily, not even asking Lin Moyu why he wanted to keep them. In his eyes, these fragments were no different from garbage.

But it was different for Lin Moyu. Those were good things. There were still millions of hell fiends in the Skeleton Hell waiting to be fed.

Time passed bit by bit. Lin Moyu replaced one Origin Crystal after another.

The effect of the Sealing Formation was unexpectedly good. No matter how the Black Blood remnant soul struggled, it just couldn't break out.

After a full two hours, the Black Blood remnant soul's aura grew weaker and weaker, and the pressure on the Sealing Formation also became smaller and smaller.

In contrast, the World-Burning Fire grew stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly vigorous.

Lin Moyu once again replaced all the eighth-grade Origin Crystals that were about to be depleted of power. He said to Old Tree, "Old Tree, please send me up for a moment."

Without a word, Old Tree directly opened a passage, letting Lin Moyu return to the surface of the glacier.

Rumbling sounds came to his ears. A tremendous battle was erupting on the glacier.

Large numbers of Glacier Beast Kings were charging over from all directions. Each Glacier Beast King had reached the peak of the ninth level, even more powerful than the Glacier Beast Kings of the seventh extreme.

They hadn't reached the pseudo-Great Dao realm, but truly stood at the peak of the ninth level Dao Venerable realm.

Even Su Pu might not be able to kill one in a one-on-one fight, most likely ending in a draw.

But before Old Tree's true body, these Glacier Beast Kings were nothing.

Huge branches lashed out like whips at lightning speed. The powerful Glacier Beast Kings were instantly shattered to pieces, completely powerless to resist.

The gap between the Dao Venerable realm and the Great Dao realm was truly too great.

The fragments on the ground had already piled up into mountains. Old Tree asked, "What do you want these things for?"

Lin Moyu said, "To eat!"

As he spoke, he pointed with his finger. The Skeleton Hell appeared, and countless hell fiends rushed out, grabbing the fragments and biting.

A series of teeth-grinding sounds rang out as the hell fiends began to eat frantically.

Old Tree let out a low exclamation, "Hell!"

His voice was full of disbelief, mixed with intense shock.

Lin Moyu said, "It's just somewhat similar. Please trouble Old Tree to throw the shattered corpses in. Those little fellows are still hungry. I'll continue to go back and watch the Black Blood remnant soul."

Old Tree was clearly still in shock, instinctively muttering, "Alright, alright, you go watch it. Don't let it escape!"

"Don't worry, it won't escape!"

Lin Moyu turned and went back beneath the glacier, continuing to watch the Black Blood remnant soul.

The Black Blood remnant soul was gradually weakening, and the speed of weakening was slowly accelerating.

At this rate, after burning for a few more hours, the Black Blood remnant soul would be burned to ashes.

Seeing victory in sight, Old Tree became more and more excited.

One Glacier Beast King after another was killed by him, their shattered corpses thrown into the Skeleton Hell, becoming food for the hell fiends.

He was no longer concerned about whether the Skeleton Hell was really hell or not. Whether it was or wasn't, it wasn't his business.

The most important thing now was to kill the Black Blood remnant soul. Only then could he regain his freedom.

Time indeed had no meaning, but the meaning of freedom was great.

Lin Moyu stared unblinkingly at the Black Blood remnant soul, guarding against it making a desperate last move.

Fortunately, this didn't happen.

Four hours later, the Black Blood remnant soul finally turned to ashes in the World-Burning Fire.

The power of the World-Burning Fire increased greatly again. With the current strength of the World-Burning Fire, if it were to burn again, it could burn a Black Blood remnant soul to death in at most an hour.

As soon as the Black Blood remnant soul died, the few remaining Glacier Beast Kings simultaneously shattered, turning to dust.

Old Tree took a deep breath. He absorbed large amounts of the remaining Black Blood power. His branches stretched out, producing a large number of tea leaves.

His true body was a tea tree, and producing tea leaves was instinctive.

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Congratulations to Old Tree, you can finally regain your freedom."

"It's still early to regain freedom. This is just the first step." Old Tree was in a good mood now, his tone much lighter.

His opponent of countless years had finally been killed. He felt a sense of relief.

Lin Moyu said, "From zero to one is the hardest. As long as you take the first step, the rest will be much easier."

Old Tree nodded, "Young friend Lin is right. Often, the first step is the hardest."

The hell fiends finally finished eating the fragments. The power of the Skeleton Hell increased again. The hell fiends' aura was strong, much more powerful than before.

Lin Moyu felt that if he could get a few more waves like this, the Skeleton Hell could advance again.

The Nine Extremes Glacier was truly a treasure trove. Nowhere else could he find so many ninth level Dao Venerables for him to devour.

A thought occurred to him, and Lin Moyu realized there was indeed one other place.

Inside the seal at the bottom of the Boundary Sea, there were not only ninth level Dao Venerable divine pets, but also many Great Dao realm Outer Realm Divine Gods.

But he wasn't strong enough now. Going there would be pure suicide.

But in the future...

Old Tree chuckled, "The problem of this extreme has finally been solved. Let's go to the ninth extreme."

"It's been many years since I've seen Old Gu. I wonder how he's doing now!"
