Chapter 4101: The Lord of Slaughter

The Lord of Curses was entangled by the Human Emperor and the Sword Emperor, roaring in fury but utterly helpless. The Lord of Curses had attained the Dao early and was extremely powerful even the Human Emperor and An Yuyan, both Eternals, were wary of him. In a one on one fight, either of them might not be his match. But this was not a duel; it was a group assault, and with the Sword Emperor, whose strength was at least equal to his, joining in, the Lord of Curses was completely suppressed, barely able to defend himself.

At this point, the Lord of Curses had long since wanted to retreat, but with the Human Emperor interfering and Lin Moyu's formation trapping him, he could not return to the Origin Land. In the end, he could only watch as Lin Moyu and An Yuyan destroyed all thirty nine of his painstakingly created avatars.

His rage reached its peak, and after all his avatars were destroyed, the Lord of Curses went completely mad.

"I want you all dead! All of you must die!"

He roared, the Curse Dao erupting in crimson light, the stench of blood intensifying and enveloping the world. Instantly, the entire battlefield, the Dao Lord Hall, the Hengduan Mountains, and the Great Wilderness were all shrouded in bloody light. The blood sea boiled, and mysterious forces opened thirty nine rifts in the world exactly the number of avatars he had made. Each rift led directly to where an avatar had been, and crimson light flowed back from those locations.

Lin Moyu saw that these were strands of the Lord of Curses' soul left at each avatar's location. He hadn't just left thirty nine avatars, but also thirty nine soul fragments in different places, separate from the avatars. The Lord of Curses' caution exceeded even Lin Moyu's expectations he was truly afraid of death. But this was also his final preparation for his last step, though now it had all been ruined.

The Lord of Curses went completely berserk, recalling all thirty nine soul fragments. At that moment, his soul became whole again, and his power returned to its peak. The blood sea boiled even more fiercely, the formation roared as if about to be burst apart by the blood sea. Divine runes floated and exploded within the blood sea, but Lin Moyu continued to draw more, reinforcing the formation.

An Yuyan lifted her palm. "Fruit of Injury!"

Wrapped in the Cause and Effect Dao, An Yuyan began to plant a fruit the Fruit of Injury. Once planted, the Lord of Curses would inevitably be injured, regardless of the cause.

The Fruit of Injury was quickly planted, blossomed, and then vanished. The blood sea paused for a breath, then a scream rang out as the Lord of Curses' aura plummeted. An Yuyan also groaned, her body trembling and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. The backlash of the Cause and Effect Dao had wounded her as well.

Such is the Cause and Effect Dao unreasonably powerful, but with strict limits. Every fruit comes at a price; the more extreme the fruit, the greater the cost. The Fruit of Injury could wound the Lord of Curses, but An Yuyan had to bear the backlash and be injured as well. She didn't dare plant a Fruit of Death unless she wanted to die together with him.

As the master of the Cause and Effect Dao, if An Yuyan went all out, she could drag anyone down with her, even if her battle power wasn't the strongest.

Lin Moyu used the power of life to heal An Yuyan and handed her several spirit flowers. She smiled as she accepted them but didn't use them immediately, the blood at her lips strikingly beautiful. She didn't stop, continuing to plant fruits. Lin Moyu said, "That's enough, stop now."

An Yuyan smiled, "Don't worry, I know my limits." At that moment, she glowed brilliantly.

"Fruit of Misfortune!"

"Fruit of Chaos!"

With both hands, she planted two fruits at once. The Fruit of Misfortune would sap the Lord of Curses' luck, making everything go wrong and slowing his actions. The Fruit of Chaos would cloud his mind and throw him into confusion. Both fruits took effect, and the Lord of Curses roared again, though these fruits didn't cause much real harm, so the backlash to An Yuyan was not severe.

"Bloodbath the World!"

The Lord of Curses roared, the blood sea boiling and mighty waves forcing the Sword Emperor and Human Emperor back. The blood sea turned into a torrential rain, spawning countless tornadoes as if to scour the world clean.

The divine statues left by the Divine Civilization floated in the blood sea, losing their vitality and falling silent. Though powerful, they were still no match for the Lord of Curses. The undead servants charged, unleashing all their power to shatter the oncoming blood sea. The blood sea exploded, transforming into countless blood men that fought the undead in brutal melee.

The Human Emperor and Sword Emperor charged back into the fray, resuming their battle with the Lord of Curses. Lin Moyu could see the Human Emperor was giving his all, while the Sword Emperor was holding back somewhat. This was expected the Human Emperor was fighting for himself, the Sword Emperor was not.

Lin Moyu had foreseen this and didn't expect too much from the Sword Emperor just that he could help pin down the Lord of Curses. He continued to draw divine runes, merging them into Chengdao Cliff and integrating them with the formation. The formation grew stronger and more murderous.

He had laid three layers of formation at Chengdao Cliff. The first and outermost layer, which was also the most labor intensive, had been completed by the Lord of Formations over seventy years. If Lin Moyu had done it himself, it would have taken at least twenty years and would have been discovered by the Lord of Curses.

The second step was to perfect the formation, integrating the Lord of Formations' work. That took nearly a year, and Lin Moyu did it with his avatars. These two steps mainly served to trap the Lord of Curses.

The third step was the core of the entire formation, which would transform the trap into a killing array. This part was the hardest and could only be done by Lin Moyu himself. So, throughout the battle, he had been multitasking, arranging the final formation in his soul.

Now, at last, the formation was complete the true killing intent of Lin Moyu's plan was unleashed. Killing the Lord of Curses was nearly impossible; at best, they could force him into dormancy. But even that was not easy. If simply killed, the Lord of Curses would return to the Origin Land and be reborn in his Dao. In that case, he could return in as little as ten thousand years or as much as a hundred thousand.

But Lin Moyu wanted to force him into a dormancy that would last millions of years.

Over a hundred thousand divine runes flew out, and the final step of the formation was complete. The great array at Chengdao Cliff roared, transforming from a trap into a killing array. Murderous intent soared to the sky, the killing array erupted, and the blood sea was annihilated.

At the same time, a terrifying figure appeared in midair. Lin Moyu was startled: "The Lord of Slaughter!"

He then looked at the Human Emperor, his gaze complex and full of meaning. The Human Emperor also looked at the suddenly appearing Lord of Slaughter, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
