Chapter 4084: Tun Yuan (Devourer of Origins)

There is always a sliver of hope in heaven and earth; nothing is ever truly perfect. Only by transcending heaven and earth might one achieve true perfection.

The Sword Emperor had personally slain that monster and sealed the filth pool, seemingly cutting off all possibility. Yet, with the passage of time, flaws still appeared. At his level, the Sword Emperor could easily understand this if he thought about it.

Gradually calming down, the Sword Emperor withdrew his aura. He didn't admit it outright, but he knew the fault lay on his side. Back then, none of the Great Dao Lords survived, and only the Spirit Demon Emperors knew the secret of Burial Dao Valley. Yet, in all these years, he had never once gone back to check. Of course, it wasn't easy to return, but given his strength, he could have managed. Had he checked a few times, perhaps this situation would not have arisen.

The Sword Emperor said, "We need to find a way back. I'll kill it again myself."

The Jin Emperor replied quietly, "We definitely need to go back. The key is how. The beast side won't be easy to deal with it looks like we're in for another great battle." The Sword Emperor said, "Tell them the monster is about to be reborn. Just like last time, we'll cooperate again."

The Jin Emperor rejected this. "No. Last time, we tricked them, and even managed to kill a Beast Emperor. This time, they won't fall for it again. Back then, there were only seven Beast Emperors; now there are nine. With the power imbalance, if we approach them, we may not get out alive."

So their so called "cooperation" was actually the Spirit Demon Emperors deceiving the Beast Emperors, resulting in the death of a Beast Emperor a huge loss for them.

The Sword Emperor slapped his thigh. "What a mess. So what do you suggest? If it comes to it, let's just withdraw and leave this world to its fate."

The Jin Emperor snorted, "Don't say such things lightly."

The Sword Emperor glanced at Lin Moyu and said no more. But Lin Moyu's heart was stirred. The Sword Emperor's offhand complaint revealed something crucial: they really could leave this world, but for some reason, they had to stay. Without the Spirit Demons, cultivators alone could never hold back the Dao Wild Beasts. But because of the Burial Dao Valley filth pool, the Spirit Demons might have to withdraw.

Lin Moyu said, "Actually, I have a way to reach Burial Dao Valley." The Jin Emperor's eyes lit up. "You mean through the Land of Severed Daos?"

The Sword Emperor cried out, "That cursed place? I'd rather fight through the Great Wilderness!" The Jin Emperor retorted, "Think, Lin Daoist came here through the Land of Severed Daos."

Lin Moyu followed up, "That's right, I can traverse the Land of Severed Daos." The Jin Emperor asked, "How confident are you?"

Lin Moyu was not modest at all. "Absolutely confident."

With undead servants scouting ahead, he could stroll through the Land of Severed Daos as if it were his own backyard. In truth, the Land of Severed Daos wasn't particularly dangerous; the rifts were visible, and as long as one didn't recklessly charge forward, they could be avoided. The only real danger was the shifting edge one could suddenly step into the Great Wilderness or, like the Lord of Power, be teleported into a filth pool. Otherwise, the main issue was that eternals, unable to sense the Daos or use their power, felt deeply unsafe, which was why they avoided the place.

The Sword Emperor said bluntly, "If you're that confident, let's go through the Land of Severed Daos. Worst case, we get teleported into the Great Wilderness and I'll just fight my way out. Back then, I could take on three of them and kill a Beast Emperor; I can do it again."

The Jin Emperor snapped, "Don't boast. You know the Beast Emperors' traits. There were only seven back then; now there are nine, and each one is twice as strong as before. If you can take on two at once, you're doing well."

The Sword Emperor didn't argue clearly, the Jin Emperor was right.

Lin Moyu interjected, "Seniors, could you tell me more about the Beast Emperors and the monster beneath the filth pool?"

Taking the opportunity, Lin Moyu voiced his doubts. He knew too little about the Beast Emperors, and even less about the monster beneath Burial Dao Valley. Any information would be invaluable.

He thought deeply: as long as the Spirit Demons were present, cultivators and Dao Wild Beasts could maintain a balance. But what if the Spirit Demons left or stopped restraining the Dao Wild Beasts? What would cultivators do then? Lin Moyu didn't want to rely on any power that wasn't his own. That was the same thinking that led the 620 Great Dao Lords at Burial Dao Valley to conduct their experiment, though the result had been disastrous.

The Jin Emperor thought for a moment, then coughed lightly. "You all know the Beast Emperors they're evolved from Emperor Pools. There are nine Emperor Pools, so at most there can be nine Beast Emperors."

"They have a unique trait: the more Beast Emperors exist at once, the stronger each one becomes. Now there are nine, and each is much stronger than before. The Sword Emperor could once take on three; now, at best, he could handle two, and killing one is almost impossible."

"As for the monster in the Burial Dao Valley filth pool, its name is Tun Yuan (Devourer of Origins). It is a recombination of Dao impurities and Great Dao origin energy, possessing chaotic properties, making it extremely hard to kill."

"If it matures, its power will surpass the Beast Emperors. It will devour all the Beast Emperors and reach a new level. To reach greater heights and gain more power, it will devour all of us including you eternals. It won't spare anyone."

"When that happens, it will continue to devour the world's vital energy and destroy everything."

When speaking of Tun Yuan, the Jin Emperor's voice carried a fear that made Lin Moyu wonder. "There's never been a Tun Yuan in this world how do you know so much, senior?"

The Jin Emperor looked at Lin Moyu and finally said quietly, "Because I've seen it. Don't ask more I can't tell you."

"In any case, that thing must never be allowed to be born. If it is, this world is finished."

"There's no time to lose. Take the Sword Emperor through the Land of Severed Daos to Burial Dao Valley and destroy that thing."

Lin Moyu asked, "If Tun Yuan will devour the Beast Emperors first, why not tell them and get them to help?"

The Jin Emperor countered, "What is the purpose of the Dao Wild Beasts?"

Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat the Dao Wild Beasts exist to devour the Daos and destroy the world.

The Jin Emperor said, "If the Dao Wild Beasts knew, not only would they not stop Tun Yuan's birth, they'd help it, and even stop us from interfering. To destroy the world, the Beast Emperors would do anything including dying themselves."

"We fooled them once; it won't work a second time. So this time, they must not know."
