Chapter 3849: Slumber for Ten Thousand Years
Countless people panicked as they lost their connection to the Great Dao, unable to use any of their cultivation.
Lin Moyu knew very well that when the world will attempted to break through to eternity, it would sever all Great Daos, gathering all their power into itself. The next step would be sacrifice using the power of countless Daos and living beings to nurture its own eternal qi.
He possessed six Great Daos, but five of them were now unusable only the Immortality Great Dao remained unaffected.
Antares lowered his gaze. "Is it really like this?"
Lin Moyu nodded slightly. "Don't panic."
Antares haughtily raised his dragon eyes: "Who's panicking?" But the next second, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure it'll be alright?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Hard to say. We can only wait."
At this point, there was nothing he could do but wait. He trusted the Discernment Beast; he was sure it wouldn't betray him.
Suddenly, he looked up and, through the world's mists, saw a figure Lin Mohan had suddenly appeared in the world mist, sword in hand, ready to strike at any moment.
Lin Moyu didn't know why he could suddenly see Lin Mohan from such a distance, especially since she was hidden in the mist even the world will couldn't see her. But he saw her, and sensed her battle intent.
In the Soul Void, a phantom body suddenly saw a massive rift, and the Discernment Beast burst out from it. Alongside it was the Golden Furnace Emperor.
The Golden Furnace Emperor held a golden cauldron, which flew out and rapidly expanded, casting ten thousand rays of golden light onto the world will.
The world will shuddered, its massive head turning to glare at the Golden Furnace Emperor. "Who are you!" Its voice boomed, shaking the Soul Void.
The Golden Furnace Emperor didn't speak, only shone the golden cauldron's light on the world will.
Bathed in the golden radiance, the world will seemed unharmed, but its breakthrough to eternity was interrupted. Under the golden light, it withdrew its form and retreated into the world.
Only then could Lin Moyu's plan proceed.
The Golden Furnace Emperor and the Discernment Beast didn't attack; they simply used the treasure to lock the world will in place. Moments later, two powerful auras tore through the void.
...
Lin Mohan suddenly sheathed her sword and left, vanishing into the mist. Lin Moyu noticed this and realized she had withdrawn because of the arrival of the Discernment Beast and the Golden Furnace Emperor. As for how she knew, there was no need to guess someone must have told her.
He had long suspected the person behind Lin Mohan was the white-robed elder who controlled the Ancestral Water Gourd, and now he was sure.
Within the Origin Continent, Lin Moyu quietly said, "Come into my soul world."
Antares immediately split off a soul and entered Lin Moyu's soul world.
Inside, Lin Moyu projected what was happening in the Soul Void and explained, "That's the Discernment Beast and the Golden Furnace Emperor."
He had already told Antares about his plan, so Antares understood.
Next, the void shattered, and the Morning Bell and Twilight Drum Emperors arrived.
The two Emperors said nothing, simply drove their treasures to attack the world will.
Previously, the Golden Furnace Emperor hadn't moved, so the world will hadn't attacked either. Now, the world will roared in fury and fought back, countless Great Daos appearing as millions of weapons slashing at the two Emperors.
The world will was powerful, only a step away from eternity, and had once defeated the world wills of the Black Blood and Heavenly God Realms. But compared to Emperors who had already reached eternity let alone two at once it was still lacking.
The Morning Bell and Twilight Drum Emperors attacked together, easily suppressing the Origin Continent's world will. No matter how it resisted, it was useless.
The Morning Bell and Twilight Drum combined their powers, forming spacetime force. The world will's countless cause-and-effect Daos shattered at a touch.
Spacetime force swept forth, and the world will screamed in agony.
In its rage, the world will drew on the power of the world, trying to use the strength of all living beings. Even Lin Moyu could only watch, unable to stop it.
"Time Reversal!"
The two Emperors acted in unison, reversing time and forcibly interrupting the world will's extraction. Its aura plummeted, spacetime reversed, and all the wounds it had accumulated over countless years reappeared and erupted.
The world will collapsed in agony, unable to maintain its form.
The two Emperors withdrew their attacks, not pursuing further. The Golden Furnace Emperor also withdrew his treasure.
The world will, now shattered, struggled to form a pair of giant eyes, glaring hatefully at the Emperors before dissipating.
Lin Moyu let out a long breath. "It's done!"
The Great Daos returned he could sense that the world will had fallen into slumber once more.
At this moment, the Twilight Drum in his soul world spoke: "Lin Friend, this world will was wounded by the power of time. It will sleep for at least ten thousand years."
Ten thousand years was the limit any more, and the Emperors would have to bear even greater karmic burdens.
Lin Moyu sent a message: "Thank you, Emperor. Ten thousand years is enough."
The Twilight Drum Emperor nodded. "In that case, we'll take our leave. Lin Friend, come visit us if you have the chance."
Lin Moyu smiled. "If I get the chance, I'll be sure to visit."
The Morning Bell and Twilight Drum Emperors left without saying a word to the Golden Furnace Emperor.
Then the Discernment Beast's voice sounded: "...I've done what I promised. We're even. If you need anything else, remember to bring something to trade."
Lin Moyu didn't haggle. "Thank you, Senior. I understand."
The Discernment Beast and the Golden Furnace Emperor vanished into the void, and everything returned to calm.
Antares was still stunned, unable to react. "That's it? It's over?"
He'd been anxious for so long, ready to die, and yet it was all over in just a few moves? It felt unreal hard to accept.
Lin Moyu laughed. "Isn't that a good thing? I thought there'd be a huge battle, with back-and-forth fighting and massive destruction. But the Origin Continent's world will was so easily suppressed. Turns out, if you haven't reached eternity, you're still far off."
Antares said, "I don't know how strong eternity really is, but it must be incredibly strong. Maybe it's like the difference between a Dao Lord and a Dao Realm cultivator just worlds apart."
With his intelligence, he couldn't describe it better, but Lin Moyu thought the analogy was at least close enough. If an Emperor truly wanted to wipe out the Origin Continent, it wouldn't be hard he just hadn't paid enough.
Lin Moyu said, "Alright, now that the world will is asleep again, it's time to deal with those guys in the sky."
"Once that's done, I'll go with you to the dragon clan, and then I'll go searching for the true path to transcendence."
Antares said, "Once this is over, I'll go with you."
Lin Moyu grinned. "Good, that way I won't have to fly myself."
Antares glared fiercely. "You want to use me as a mount?"
Lin Moyu laughed. "You said it yourself, don't blame me."
Antares snorted twice and left the soul world.
Lin Moyu slowly stood up, looked toward the Outer Great Dao, and said word by word, "Time to settle accounts!"
