Chapter 3666: The Unexpected Balance Gemstone
The Thousand Dao, Ten Thousand Phenomena Formation was resplendent, displaying countless deadly landscapes. A dark moon rose, blowing a terrifying wind that chilled to the bone, causing countless void beasts to cry out in agony.
The void beasts, severely injured by the formation, frantically struggled, instinctively seeking a glimmer of hope. A path appeared within the formation, and the void beasts, believing it to be their salvation, rushed into it. Unbeknownst to them, this path led to the formation's core, where the World-Burning Fire awaited.
The injured void beasts would ultimately be refined by the World-Burning Fire, transforming into soul crystals. Lin Moyu's formation was almost tailor-made for void beasts, exploiting their inability to see the Great Dao's power. He artificially created ten deadly regions within the formation.
When the formation appeared, the four small soul domain kings realized they had been deceived. However, it was too late; they had lost the right to choose. They either had to break out of the formation or die within it.
They deployed their innate treasures, unleashing a barrage of attacks that shook the entire formation. The sound of explosions echoed through the formation, and Lin Moyu had anticipated the kings' counterattack. The formation's robustness was more than capable of withstanding their assault.
It wouldn't be easy for the kings to break through, especially since they had innate treasures protecting them. It would be difficult to severely injure them using just the formation, unlike the other void beasts that could be refined into soul crystals.
Lin Moyu didn't intervene initially, allowing the kings to attack and thereby testing the formation's durability. Once he confirmed its solidity, he emerged from the void, wielding the Catastrophic Staff.
Upon seeing Lin Moyu, the kings roared in anger: "You're a cultivator from the real world; why are you luring us to our deaths?"
Lin Moyu chuckled: "We've entered the Void Realm, and our lives are of no concern to each other. You've killed real-world cultivators before; what's the point of saying this?"
In the Void Realm, void beasts and real-world cultivators were natural enemies. They were each other's prey, and encounters usually ended in a fight to the death, with little chance of peaceful coexistence.
These kings had certainly killed real-world cultivators in their quest for transcendence and the core of the real world. Lin Moyu continued: "In both the Void Realm and the real world, the rule is survival of the fittest."
"Today, I'm the one luring you to your deaths because I have the ability."
"If our positions were reversed, you wouldn't spare me either."
"Therefore, killing you is normal according to reason, morality, and the natural order."
Lin Moyu spoke as if explaining, yet it seemed he was also speaking to himself. Only he knew why he said these words.
As he spoke, the void trembled, and a mysterious Great Dao appeared. Among all the Great Daos, the Causality Dao was particularly enigmatic. It spanned ancient and modern times, crossing realms and dimensions, encompassing all causality.
By killing the small soul domain kings in the Void Realm, Lin Moyu would inevitably involve himself in causality.
The kings were different from ordinary void beasts; they carried a certain amount of destiny. This destiny would accumulate as causality, which, if excessive, could collapse the world. Perhaps one day, the explosion of causality would harm Lin Moyu himself.
Lin Moyu, with his limited understanding of the Causality Dao, spoke these words to reduce the causality he would have to bear from killing.
After finishing, Lin Moyu raised his Catastrophic Staff high. Soul power infused it, and the staff burst into light.
Upon seeing the staff, the kings revealed their fear, instinctively sensing a lethal threat.
"What kind of artifact is this? Why do I feel danger?"
"My instincts aren't wrong; it can easily kill me."
"We must join forces and break through; otherwise, we'll surely die!"
Realizing the danger, the kings immediately allied and prepared to break through the formation.
However, it was too late. Lin Moyu shouted: "Balance!"
As his words fell, countless skeletal divine generals appeared behind him. The light of the Balance Gemstone illuminated the Void Realm, affecting all beings, including Lin Moyu himself. The gemstone balanced everyone's power and realm.
Lin Moyu's soul power continuously flowed into the Balance Gemstone, enhancing its power. The kings, equivalent to branch Dao Lord in terms of realm, were formidable opponents.
Fortunately, Lin Moyu's realm was no longer low, and his soul power was incredibly strong. With his own strength supporting the gemstone, its power was activated, successfully affecting the kings.
The skeletal divine generals were the most numerous, being mid-level fourth-soul entities. Everyone's power and realm began to converge towards this level.
The four kings' power rapidly declined, plummeting from their thrones. They watched in horror as their realms fell, unable to stop it.
As their realms decreased, their control over their innate treasures also weakened. Although the treasures still belonged to them, they couldn't fully utilize their power. Even the best treasures required matching strength to be effective.
However, they discovered that the formation's power seemed to decrease as well, and they hadn't been injured. Lin Moyu frowned: "Even the formation is affected; this is too fair, isn't it?"
The situation exceeded Lin Moyu's expectations; he hadn't anticipated the Balance Gemstone's influence would be so vast, affecting even the formation. After a brief thought, he understood why: the gemstone influenced the Great Dao and the world's operational rules, not just individual cultivation levels.
At this moment, regardless of the region, whether it was Lin Moyu, the void beasts, or the formation, all powers and realms were unified to the mid-level fourth soul.
However, Lin Moyu noticed that the World-Burning Fire remained unaffected by the Balance Gemstone. It remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Lin Moyu knew what to do. With a finger gesture, the World-Burning Fire descended into the formation, enveloping one of the small soul domain kings.
He didn't know the king's name; it didn't matter, as they were all doomed. The king's soul was burned, and his face changed dramatically as he fully activated his innate treasure to counter the World-Burning Fire.
