Chapter 4064: Find a Way to Kill Him
After putting away the formation, Lin Moyu and Shengxin returned he needed to think about what to do next. The idea of seeking out the Spirit Demon Emperor had suddenly come to him, but even if he decided to go, he needed to plan carefully.
On the way back, Lin Moyu asked, "Who is the longest lived Great Dao Lord still active on the battlefield?"
Back in that great battle, 621 Great Dao Lords fell nearly three fifths of all Dao Lords at the time. Afterward, the Heaven and Earth Battlefield enjoyed a brief million years of peace. When beast tides returned after that million years, the surge was immense a build up of a million years' worth of power, and with the Dao Lords' numbers still low, the fighting was brutal and exhausting. Many more Dao Lords fell in subsequent battles, with new blood constantly joining the ranks. By now, the number of Dao Lords was higher than ever over two thousand. But very few from that era still survived. Even Shengxin's grandfather, the Battle Sovereign, had not lived as long as Xuan Zhenzi's generation.
Shengxin thought for a moment. "The longest lived now is probably the Lord of Weak Water. I don't know exactly how long she's lived, but she doesn't like to talk, and she spends at least nine thousand out of every ten thousand years here on the battlefield. Very few Dao Lords stay here so long most have things to handle in the real world, disciples, friends, and family. But the Lord of Weak Water spends more than ninety percent of her time here. There must be a story."
Lin Moyu said, "I'll go find her."
"When we get back, I'll show you the way her place is hard to find." Shengxin seemed happy to be able to help Lin Moyu.
They soon returned to the battlefield's edge. The formation was still running, unchanged from when Lin Moyu left. These formations had existed for countless years, always the same.
Shengxin called out, "Grandpa Battle Sovereign, I'm back."
"Mm!"
A deep voice sounded, and a passage opened in the formation.
Shengxin was about to enter when Lin Moyu stopped her. "You go in first. I want to say a few words to the Battle Sovereign."
"Oh." Shengxin was a bit puzzled, but didn't ask and walked into the passage.
The passage didn't close, as if waiting for Lin Moyu. The Battle Sovereign's phantom appeared in the formation. "Daoist Lin, what do you wish to say?"
Lin Moyu said, "Should I call you Senior Battle Sovereign, or Lord of Curses?"
The Battle Sovereign's brow furrowed, his phantom eyes fixed on Lin Moyu. "How did you find out?"
Lin Moyu smiled. "Didn't you leave a mark in my Great Dao, monitoring me all this time? Don't you know why?"
The curse mark in the Immortality Great Dao had already been erased; the Eye of the Curse could no longer monitor Lin Moyu. Even before, the Lord of Curses never knew everything, only part of it and even less recently.
The Lord of Curses quickly understood. "It seems your mastery of formations is greater than I thought."
Lin Moyu smiled. "That's what others say too. What did you do to the real Battle Sovereign?"
The Lord of Curses replied, "He's fine, just had his mind suppressed by me he's just sleeping for now."
Lin Moyu said, "So you've decided to make a move? I'm already a Great Dao Lord, and one step from eternity. If you don't act soon, you may lose your chance."
The Lord of Curses said, "It's about time."
Lin Moyu asked, "Are you going to do it now? Want me to come into the formation and play with you?"
The Lord of Curses let out a series of cold laughs, the Battle Sovereign's face twisting. "It seems this formation can't do anything to you, but I never expected to seize your body with it anyway. Since that's the case, I won't waste time. Just wait I'll make my move soon. Enjoy what little time you have left!"
With a burst of mad laughter, the Lord of Curses departed.
The Battle Sovereign's gaze became dazed his mind had been suppressed, but now that the Lord of Curses was gone, his consciousness returned. Lin Moyu understood that the Lord of Curses hadn't come to seize his body, but rather to warn, threaten, and show off. The Lord of Curses was telling him that he could control the battlefield at any time hiding here was useless. He could even threaten the other Dao Lords, so if Lin Moyu didn't want to drag them down, he shouldn't hide away. At the same time, the Lord of Curses wanted to test Lin Moyu's strength to decide when to strike. Now unable to monitor Lin Moyu through the Dao, he had to come in person to probe him. Unfortunately, he failed Lin Moyu saw through him and didn't reveal his true power.
Still, the Lord of Curses learned that Lin Moyu's formation skills were formidable. If he tried to use formations against Lin Moyu, it wouldn't work.
The Battle Sovereign's mind returned, and he looked at Lin Moyu with a complicated expression. He remembered everything that happened while his mind was suppressed.
In a deep voice, he asked, "How did you get involved with him?"
Lin Moyu replied with a hint of helplessness, "He came after me I had no choice."
The Battle Sovereign grew even more serious. "So what are you going to do?"
Lin Moyu smiled. "What else? Find a way to kill him."
The Battle Sovereign was shocked. "He's eternal he can't be killed."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Who says eternals can't die? If the conditions are right, even eternals can die. Even the world itself can perish how could eternity truly be immortal? I've dealt with him more than once, and he's never been sure enough to act against me. So don't worry when he finally makes his move, I'll show him that Great Dao Lords aren't so easy to bully."
Lin Moyu was half joking, but the Battle Sovereign didn't find it funny.
After a moment, the Battle Sovereign could only sigh. "Good luck, then."
Lin Moyu chuckled. "I'm not the Lord of Fate. I trust strength more than luck."
He stepped into the passage and entered the formation.
The Battle Sovereign muttered, "Just what is your true identity, and what does the Lord of Curses really want?"
For him, these were things he could neither reach nor dare to touch. Even when he was alive, let alone now as a formation spirit, such matters were beyond him. All he could do was wish Lin Moyu luck.
Inside the formation, Lin Moyu met Shengxin. "Let's go find the Lord of Weak Water."
Shengxin nodded and called out, "Grandpa Battle Sovereign, I'll come visit again in a few days."
The Battle Sovereign appeared within the formation, face kindly. "Come visit whenever you can."
Shengxin agreed and left with Lin Moyu.
On the way, Shengxin whispered, "Grandpa Battle Sovereign is back to normal today."
Lin Moyu replied, "Did you notice something?"
Shengxin said, "He seemed off for a while I thought it was the filth tide's influence. But now he's back to normal, so it's fine."
