Chapter 3853: Weak, Too Weak!

Lin Moyu recalled something the former Lord of Hell-now the Lord of the Other Shore-once said. Back then, he'd asked what exactly was behind the Gate of Hell before the Lord of Hell fused with it. The answer, boiled down, was just four words: Dao Struggle (大道争锋).

The Hell Great Dao is an Origin Great Dao, but also a Projected Great Dao. It's a very special Dao: to conduct a Dao Struggle, it doesn't need to seek out worlds or other Dao Lords. It only needs to open the Gate of Hell to initiate a Dao Struggle.

Throughout history, countless people have opened the Gate of Hell, launching one Dao Struggle after another. In the end, a powerful being would stand out, surpassing most Hell Dao Lords. That being would be very close to the true-body Dao Lord of the Hell Great Dao.

That's why, after opening the Gate of Hell once, the former Lord of Hell gave up on the idea of Dao Struggle and forged a different path, becoming a World Lord. But then he encountered the world will and had to give up again. He was lucky enough to obtain that gate, as well as the Shitian Stone and the Immortal Jade, and managed to escape disaster.

But this time, the Hell Alliance Leader had no idea what was behind the Gate of Hell. When he heard the voice, he was clearly stunned.

A figure, completely shrouded in magma, appeared behind the Gate of Hell, exuding a terrifying aura. The gate, which had only been half-open, now fully opened.

The Hell Alliance Leader suddenly realized he had lost control of the Gate of Hell.

That magma figure filled him with terror-the other party also radiated the aura of the Hell Great Dao, but much stronger than his own.

The Hell Alliance Leader suddenly realized what was happening and blurted out, "Dao Struggle!"

Lin Moyu chuckled and shook his head: "Not too stupid. You dared to open the gate without even knowing what's behind it-prepare to face your Dao Struggle. But you're dead for sure!"

Lin Moyu had seen a true-body Dao Lord before and knew how strong they were-just a step below eternity. A powerful true-body Dao Lord could go head-to-head with the Origin Continent's world will at its peak. The Hell Alliance Leader was nothing in comparison.

The magma man stepped out from behind the Gate of Hell and looked up at the Hell Alliance Leader. "You're the last one I need for my Dao!"

His raspy voice seemed to tug at the soul. Others just found it uncomfortable, but to the Hell Alliance Leader, it was agony.

Magma surged, hellfire roared upward, and shot straight at the Hell Alliance Leader. He stood frozen, unable to move, and as the Lord of Hell approached, he suddenly exploded in a scream.

"Weak, truly too weak!"

"I remember this Gate of Hell. The last guy who opened it wasn't this weak-he was quick to flee, so I didn't make it in time."

"But no matter, a Dao Struggle is a Dao Struggle. You'll complete my Dao!"

His words were like a death sentence for the Hell Alliance Leader, who screamed and struggled, but it was useless. His Dao was completely absorbed by the other, his power fading rapidly.

Facing this being, the Hell Alliance Leader was like a baby facing an adult-utterly powerless.

In just a few moments, his Dao shattered, and all the power he'd cultivated over countless years vanished. A powerful Dao Lord fell, just like that.

Although the Hell Alliance Leader died, the hell he summoned did not disappear. The Bone Hell continued to battle it, refusing to yield, and gradually gained the upper hand, its hell spirits devouring the other side.

The magma man's aura kept rising, his Dao roared, and the magma behind the Gate of Hell raged. A Great Dao appeared, piercing the heavens and earth.

His aura grew ever stronger, as if he were breaking through the Dao Lord realm and reaching a new level. Lin Moyu understood: he was still a Dao Lord, but had transformed from a Projected Dao Lord into a True-Body Dao Lord.

Becoming a true-body Dao Lord meant no more need for Dao Struggles-he could control the Dao's true body and enter the Origin Ancestral Land at will. From then on, he was the master of the Hell Great Dao; as long as the Dao existed, he could not die.

Though not truly eternal, he now had half a foot in the eternal realm. Unfortunately, the Origin Land had no more open spots, so he was destined never to become truly eternal-only to approach it infinitely.

The nameless Dao Lord's gaze swept across the battlefield and finally landed on Lin Moyu. "Your hell is interesting."

He could see that Lin Moyu didn't cultivate the Hell Great Dao, but Lin Moyu's Bone Hell was so similar to the real thing that it piqued his interest.

Lin Moyu smiled. "Do you have any advice, Senior?"

The Dao Lord mused, "I'm interested in your hell. I'd like to borrow it for a bit."

To have his Bone Hell targeted, Lin Moyu didn't panic at all. "If you have the ability, you're welcome to try. But let me remind you, becoming a true-body Dao Lord is no easy feat-be careful not to die and lose your Dao."

Lin Moyu's words clearly angered the other. After all, in his eyes, Lin Moyu was just a first-tier innate soul Dao Realm cultivator-how could he compare to a true-body Dao Lord?

In the Outer Great Dao, countless people had just witnessed what happened. The Hell Alliance Leader was easily devoured, becoming the last stepping stone for the other's ascension.

Everyone present knew how powerful that being was-no one could stand against him. Yet Lin Moyu dared to speak to him like that-wasn't that courting death?

The other was clearly amused-into-anger. "Very well, you'll be the first person I kill after becoming a true-body Dao Lord!"

Lin Moyu smiled. "You'll have to be able to kill me first."

Space twisted beside him, and four Elemental Liches appeared. One Great Dao after another manifested, and four pairs of little eyes stared at the newly ascended true-body Dao Lord.

The true-body Dao Lord was about to act, but suddenly paused. He could tell that the four Elemental Liches were summoning the true bodies of their Great Daos, not projections.

For a moment, his mind stalled, and he blurted out, "What are these things?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "That's not your concern. You can try to kill me if you want."

"But I'll say this: I may not be your match, but I'm absolutely confident I can take you down with me. You might become the shortest-lived true-body Dao Lord in all of existence-are you interested?"

Lin Moyu's threat was naked and direct, giving no face at all.

Now things were awkward-the true-body Dao Lord stood there, unable to decide whether to fight or not. If he fought, he might die; if he didn't, he'd lose face.

He hesitated, while Lin Moyu stood motionless, but the four Elemental Liches were already poised to strike.

After a moment, the Dao Lord sighed. "You have guts, Daoist friend. May I ask your name?"

Lin Moyu replied, "My surname is Lin."

At this point, Lin Moyu knew the other wouldn't make a move, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he didn't want to fight a true-body Dao Lord.

The Dao Lord said quietly, "I am Jiang Ziwen, from the Jumu Great Spirit Domain. If you have the chance, Daoist Lin, you're welcome to visit."

So he was from the Jumu Great Spirit Domain too. Lin Moyu kept a straight face. "I'll remember that. If I get the chance, I'll visit. Take care, Senior Jiang."
