Chapter 3755: Negotiations Break Down
The current Other Shore Realm Master, though stronger than before, no longer possessed the sharpness of his past self.
The once-dominant figure who had refined the Yin Ancestral Dragon and was hailed as the strongest Great Dao Lord on the Origin Continent had fallen.
Now, while he still harbored hatred for the past, he buried it deeply, unwilling to expose it easily.
Even when Lin Moyu probed deeply, the hatred only faintly surfaced.
Lin Moyu sighed inwardly. He understood that the Hell Master of old was gone; the current Other Shore Realm Master would no longer risk his life to challenge the world will of the Origin Continent.
This grudge would remain unavenged.
Living safely in the World Tree Great Spirit Domain, with his strength steadily growing over time, there was no reason for him to take such a risk.
Of course, if Lin Moyu were willing to fight on his behalf, he would gladly assist perhaps even provide some help.
Lin Moyu asked: "I recall you once wielded a scepter adorned with five gemstones."
He remembered seeing the Hell Master's Catastrophic Scepter back then but now realized it seemed different from what he had seen before.
The Other Shore Realm Master chuckled: "That was a replica I crafted myself. I once saw the original scepter behind the Gate of Hell and forged one based on its design."
A counterfeit no wonder the Hell Master had seemed so weak wielding it back then. What had once puzzled Lin Moyu now became clear.
After some thought, Lin Moyu said: "I want that gate."
The Other Shore Realm Master stared at him and replied slowly: "Are you joking? Make another request you know I won't agree to this."
The gate had been his lifeline; only he truly understood its significance.
Even though it hadn't been opened again in millions of years, he would never hand it over.
That Lin Moyu dared make such an outrageous request without being immediately expelled was already a testament to the Other Shore Realm Master's restraint.
Lin Moyu explained: "On the Origin Continent, I comprehended a technique that devoured fragments of your former Hell and grew into a new hell world."
"My technique contains a Gate of Hell. I once sought its fragments to open it but later discovered it was a fake."
"Some Great Dao Lords even speculated that I might be your reincarnation."
"Since that's the case, let me act as your reincarnation and ask for that gate."
"I'm not asking you to give it to me permanently just lend it to me for now. Once my task is complete, I'll return it to you."
The Other Shore Realm Master didn't even consider this request before rejecting it outright: "Don't bring this up again that gate will never be yours. Make another request, and I might consider it. If you truly wish to use the gate, you'll have to wait until I've accumulated enough power to open it again then we can enter together."
It was clear he was being generous by offering to share such a private treasure with Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu understood his reasoning he hoped Lin Moyu could eliminate the world will of the Origin Continent and avenge him in the process.
He was willing to help but only so much.
Lin Moyu had anticipated this outcome and sighed lightly: "If you won't act directly or lend me the gate, then there's nothing else I can ask for."
The Other Shore Realm Master narrowed his eyes at Lin Moyu: "It seems you have other ideas."
Sensing Lin Moyu's intentions shift, he grew wary.
Lin Moyu didn't deny it; his voice turned cold: "The Hell Master is gone that gate belongs to him alone. Since others see me as his reincarnation, then I'll take back what's rightfully mine."
"Other Shore Realm Master I ask that you hand over the gate!"
If reasoning wouldn't work, then force would have to suffice.
Lin Moyu could be reasonable when needed but not always.
In many cases, reasoning simply didn't work were Great Dao Lords' battles ever about reason?
If everything could be resolved through negotiation, there would be no wars.
Given the Other Shore Realm Master's attitude, Lin Moyu saw no need for further diplomacy.
The Other Shore Realm Master unleashed an overwhelming aura; ripples spread through the void as his world will manifested in its floral form the Red Spider Lily swayed ominously, scattering endless blue light.
His gaze sharpened like a blade aimed at Lin Moyu's soul as if ready to annihilate him on the spot.
His icy voice rang out: "For our shared origin on the Origin Continent, I'll spare you this time. Leave now! If you continue your insolence I'll kill you!"
Lin Moyu retorted coldly: "It's not that you don't want to kill me it's that you're unsure if you can."
The Other Shore Realm Master laughed angrily: "What a ridiculous joke! Do you know my realm? And yours? Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"
Lin Moyu shook his head: "Whether or not you can kill me you know deep down. Enough talk either give me the gate or prepare for me to take it by force!"
The Other Shore Realm Master was enraged: "You're courting death!"
Within the blue light a blazing flame erupted it was hellfire filled with countless wailing souls that surged toward Lin Moyu.
Behind him appeared a molten Great Dao his Hell Great Dao which locked onto Lin Moyu with lethal intent.
He hadn't planned on sparing Lin Moyu from the start if he acted it would be decisive.
Lin Moyu stomped lightly; icy mist from his Ice Jade Lotus Platform froze both flames and space alike.
"Retreat!" he commanded softly.
Little Python immediately withdrew beyond the blue light's range.
Lin Moyu knew too much about Red Spider Lilies; fighting within their domain was unwise.
Moreover this battle wasn't one he should fight personally with his second-tier soul level he was far weaker than the Other Shore Realm Master.
A Void Sealing Divine Rune activated and with a roar the five-element giant appeared in midair.
The Sword Dao Spirit followed suit it couldn't attack directly but transformed into a sword embodying its Great Dao essence wielded by the five-element giant.
Though unable to unleash its full power it remained one of the sharpest swords in existence.
The five-element giant raised its left hand; activating its Prison Primordial Formation a network of threads formed from dozens of primordial virtual treasures enveloped heaven and earth.
Sensing danger the Other Shore Realm Master retreated swiftly while his world will the Red Spider Lily swayed gently; its blue light brushed aside all threads effortlessly like dust.
Sword light flashed the five-element giant swept its blade across space and petals fell from the Red Spider Lily it had been injured!
The Other Shore Realm Master cried out in shock: "What kind of sword is this?!"
Lin Moyu replied calmly: "A sword capable of cutting you."
Since his opponent's initial attack carried killing intent Lin Moyu saw no reason to hold back either.
The five-element giant unleashed a storm of sword strikes filling space with blinding light as if swept by torrential rainstorms.
Amidst furious roars the Hell Great Dao erupted with endless flames countering sword light while countless malevolent spirits charged at Lin Moyu directly from within hellfire.
Understanding strategy the Other Shore Realm Master targeted Lin Moyu instead of focusing on defeating the five-element giant believing victory lay in eliminating its master first.
But Lin Moyu opened his spatial storage and an undead army emerged in response!
These malevolent spirits were merely second-tier souls not much stronger than his undead forces and certainly fewer in number compared to billions under Lin Moyu's command...
As undead clashed with spirits a chaotic battle unfolded across heaven and earth...
