Chapter 4176: Not a Single One Is Real

Lin Moyu ignored all distractions and continued moving in the direction indicated by the dragon scale. With the Wings of Time Curse unfurled, his speed reached its peak, leaving a long trail of light in the void beyond the domain.

Suddenly, Lin Moyu stopped again. He saw Candle Dragon or rather, Candle Dragon's eyes. The enormous eyes hovered in the void. "The Hengduan Mountains are under attack by the wild beasts, we're under immense pressure, we can't hold on much longer, hurry back."

Lin Moyu frowned. "Get lost!"

He felt these eyes weren't real, but an illusion created by the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor. Candle Dragon had said he couldn't leave the domain, and this place wasn't where Candle Dragon could possibly appear. Besides, if it were truly urgent, Candle Dragon wouldn't be helpless wild beasts were nothing to him. No matter how strong the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor was, there must be a flaw.

Candle Dragon's eyes narrowed and abruptly looked into the distance, shrieking, "Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor, you've actually encountered the Soul Devouring Spirit!"

"I'll hold it off for you, hurry and go!"

There was urgency in Candle Dragon's eyes. Twin beams of light shot out, turning into countless arrows that pierced the void. The radiance exploded, enveloping millions of miles of void, and a gigantic beast revealed itself within the light.

Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor Lin Moyu saw its form, and his heart skipped a beat. This scene seemed to be telling him that Candle Dragon was real. He had really come here, really urged Lin Moyu to return, and had even discovered the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor and was attacking it.

In his perception, Candle Dragon was real, the attack was real, and the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor being forced to reveal itself was also real. The line between truth and illusion was impossible to discern. Yet, the more convincing it seemed, the less Lin Moyu trusted it.

He chose to trust the dragon scale Candle Dragon had given him. At that moment, the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor let out a shriek, a sound like a blade slicing through the soul. Instantly, countless Beast Emperors appeared in the void, all staring intently at Candle Dragon.

The next second, the Beast Emperors charged at Candle Dragon, forcing him to reveal himself in the void and engage in a fierce battle with the wild beasts.

"Rule manager, you shouldn't be here!"

The Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor's voice echoed, shaking the void and making Lin Moyu's soul tremble. Everything happening before him seemed to say Candle Dragon was real.

Candle Dragon roared, flames erupting from his body, burning the Beast Emperors to death. At the same time, his tail swept out, forcibly slicing open a rift in the void. "I've opened a spatial channel, hurry back!"

He urged Lin Moyu, and at the same time, a voice echoed in Lin Moyu's soul, urging him to enter the rift and return to the domain.

The Wings of Time Curse vibrated, and Lin Moyu flew toward the spatial rift, appearing to believe Candle Dragon's words. But just before reaching the rift, he suddenly changed direction, flying past it and farther away, vanishing into the void.

The battle continued behind him, undiminished by his departure. Lin Moyu could still feel the shockwaves from afar, but he did not stop. He could not distinguish truth from illusion neither his Dao heart, his eyes, nor his soul's eye could see clearly.

Unable to discern reality, he chose the most conservative route: to return the same way he came. The Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor was too strange; Lin Moyu couldn't even be sure that what he had just seen was its true form. He had never encountered such a bizarre enemy before.

The dragon scale in his hand glowed, guiding him, but as he flew, Lin Moyu sensed something was wrong and stopped again. He felt he was getting farther from the Origin Land, moving away from the domain. Yet the direction indicated by the scale seemed fine. Looking down, he realized he hadn't actually left the domain.

Lin Moyu felt his senses were being manipulated again. With no other option, he chose to trust the dragon scale and continued forward. After flying a while, unease grew within him he felt he was again moving farther from the Origin Land. If this continued, he might enter chaos and be unable to return.

Chaos...

Lin Moyu didn't see chaos; the domain was clearly beneath his feet, its boundaries obvious, and he could sense its rules. But his intuition screamed warnings, the unease intensifying.

Which should he trust? Lin Moyu was torn. The Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor's strangeness had directly affected his Dao heart and intuition, making it impossible to tell what was real.

He realized this choice was critical one wrong step and he might be lost forever. This was the most dangerous situation he had ever faced in his cultivation.

As he pondered, a sudden thought struck him: "Both are fake."

He was startled. If both were fake, then no matter which he chose, the result would be the same.

In that instant, his mind raced, and he thought of a possible way to break the deadlock.

"Gather power!"

He unleashed his technique, surging with boundless chaotic energy. His undead servants and the Great Thousand World poured terrifying power into him, pushing his cultivation to new heights.

Here, outside the domain, he could break through to half step transcendence, truly stepping into the transcendent realm. He wouldn't be expelled, so there was no need to worry.

A strange aura rose, and Lin Moyu used his technique to force himself into the transcendent realm. Once there, his gaze swept like lightning.

Everything before him looked the same as before yet there was a subtle difference. He vaguely saw something hidden in the void.

"Great Dao World Ending Palm!"

He struck out, a giant palm crashing through the void. As he unleashed it, his body and soul exploded simultaneously.

Bathed in purple light, Lin Moyu was reborn. After his rebirth, everything before him changed. The void ahead had become chaos; the domain was now far, far away. The direction indicated by the dragon scale was completely opposite to where he had been heading. From his current position, if he continued forward, he would enter true chaos.

Chaos was truly outside the domain, beyond the reach of its rules a clear boundary. If he had really charged into chaos, it would be almost impossible to return, and the beings within would not let him go easily. The thing he had seen was a being hidden in chaos.

The World Ending Palm stirred ripples in chaos, colliding with the being. The palm shattered with a thunderous boom, and the creature was blasted away but not killed. It seemed to scream, but the sound could not reach him the domain's rules blocked everything from chaos.

To survive his full strength attack, that chaotic being was indeed powerful.

With his rebirth, Lin Moyu finally broke free from the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor's influence, if only briefly. His final suspicion was correct both were fake. No matter which direction he chose, the outcome would have been disastrous.

There was no such thing as real or fake everything was false.

Lin Moyu recognized the true direction indicated by the dragon scale, vibrated the Wings of Time Curse, and sped away. After a while, his body exploded again, and he was reborn in purple light. In this way, he dispelled the Soul Devouring Spirit Emperor's influence.
