Chapter 4156: Take Action
Rules are not absolute; as long as your power is sufficient, you can naturally break the rules. Otherwise, how did the Lord of Curses leave a mark on my Great Dao back then? Didn't he break through the constraints of the rules? He wasn't the only one so did the Human Emperor. If they could do it, why can't I? Besides, what I intend to do goes even further than what they did.
The Arrow of the Soul, under the heavy oppression of the rules, shot toward the Dao of Time. The farther it moved from the Immortality Dao, the more severe the suppression from the rules became. But this couldn't stop Lin Moyu. Even though the World Tree was slumbering, it still instinctively provided Lin Moyu with endless soul power. With the World Tree as his backing, Lin Moyu had no worries he simply had to keep moving forward step by step.
Above the Origin Land, the Candle Dragon's eyes appeared. "What are you doing?" The Candle Dragon's voice sounded. Lin Moyu casually replied, "Can't you tell?" The Candle Dragon's voice lowered, "You're not trying to leave a mark. I sense your killing intent." Lin Moyu couldn't help but laugh. "As expected of the Candle Dragon, you can sense even that." He had hidden it well, but still couldn't escape the Candle Dragon's perception.
That's right he was going to kill the Lord of Time. Since you've fallen dormant, then stay asleep forever. No need to awaken again.
The Candle Dragon said, "You can't do this. It violates the rules." Lin Moyu replied, "What exactly are these rules you speak of? Back when the Lord of Curses left a mark on my Dao, didn't he violate the rules?" The Candle Dragon said, "That was just a mark; they didn't intend to kill you." Lin Moyu shook his head. "To me, there's not much difference. That's why I killed the Lord of Curses. Candle Dragon, I'll be honest: I'm not just targeting the Lord of Time I'm also after the Lord of Curses."
The Candle Dragon said, "Isn't the Lord of Curses already dormant?" Lin Moyu replied, "That's not enough. I want to make sure he never returns." Dormancy and reincarnation mean he'll eventually return. What Lin Moyu wanted was to ensure he could never return.
Of course, Lin Moyu didn't have to do this now he could wait until he transcended, which would make things much easier. But Lin Moyu preferred to settle scores immediately; waiting for the future was too uncertain.
The Candle Dragon's voice grew lower and angrier. "What you're doing completely violates the rules. I won't allow it." Lin Moyu chuckled, "Alright, then let's fight. Winner takes all whoever wins decides." This statement made the Candle Dragon uneasy. He knew Lin Moyu's strength well he could still recall the madness Lin Moyu displayed when fighting the mutated wild beast. And that wasn't even Lin Moyu's full strength. If Lin Moyu went all out, the consequences would be severe.
The Candle Dragon wasn't sure he could win. Even if he could, all his years of accumulation might be destroyed. Besides, he still hoped Lin Moyu would help him, so he instinctively didn't want to offend him. But rules couldn't be easily broken.
The Candle Dragon was caught between a rock and a hard place, his eyes nearly twisting in frustration. Lin Moyu was resolute, tossing the dilemma to the Candle Dragon he made it clear he would proceed, and the Candle Dragon could do as he pleased.
The Candle Dragon often had to act according to rules. Lin Moyu didn't know exactly what those rules were, but after many encounters, he'd figured out most of it. He knew the Candle Dragon couldn't attack him directly. Even if he broke the rules, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, the Candle Dragon could at most try to stop him. Each realm in the world is like a class system. Now that Lin Moyu had become Eternal, he was at the highest level within the domain of the world, enjoying many privileges. Even the Candle Dragon couldn't act recklessly against him.
The Candle Dragon's voice grew heavier and angrier. "You're scheming against me." Lin Moyu replied, "If that's how you see it, so be it. I only do what I want. If, after cultivating to this level, I can't do what I want, what's the point?"
"You want to transcend to escape the rules I'm the same."
"The Lord of Time and I have a grudge, and I promised the Spirit of Time, so I must act."
"You know all about the Lord of Curses I'm locked in a death feud with him. If you want to stop me, a battle is inevitable."
"So I don't think I'm using you at most, I'm using the rules. I'm leaving the choice to you: fight me to the death for their sake, or turn a blind eye. You decide."
Once again, Lin Moyu left the choice to the Candle Dragon, while continuing to channel his soul power toward the Time Lotus. A channel woven of soul power was forming; no matter how the rules suppressed it, they couldn't break it.
The Candle Dragon was deeply conflicted, unable to decide whether to act. As the channel neared completion and Lin Moyu's soul power was about to touch the Dao of Time, thunder suddenly echoed through the Origin Land. The thunder shook all Daos, and all Eternals sensed something was happening and wanted to come see.
"Get back!" the Candle Dragon roared, unleashing a storm of power that instantly silenced all the Daos. The Origin Land was sealed in an instant no Eternal could enter.
Lin Moyu understood the Candle Dragon's thinking: whether or not he intervened today, he didn't want others to know what was happening here.
Lin Moyu smiled, "I'm actually curious about your true identity. I've had some guesses, but they're just guesses, not certain."
The Candle Dragon replied in a low voice, "I am the first being born of the Five World Domains, and the manager of their rules."
This answer was close to what Lin Moyu had suspected. Lin Moyu smiled, "Why is it called the Five World Domains? If you're the first being, why are you only the manager?"
The Candle Dragon snorted, "What do you know?"
Lin Moyu said, "So you don't know either."
Anger flashed in the Candle Dragon's eyes. "Of course I know."
Lin Moyu heard the stubbornness. "Then tell me, why is it called the Five World Domains?"
The Candle Dragon replied coldly, "That's the name the domain chose for itself. It's enough to know that you don't need to ask why, and you're not qualified to ask."
Lin Moyu said, "I see. Since you're the manager, you should be able to enter that place whenever you want, right?"
The Candle Dragon said, "I am indeed the manager appointed by heaven and earth, but even managers must follow the rules. That place isn't somewhere you can go just because you want to. If you stop now and don't break the rules, I might consider taking you there."
Lin Moyu shrugged indifferently, "No need, I don't want to go."
The Candle Dragon's eyes narrowed sharply Lin Moyu wouldn't budge no matter what. He growled, "If you insist, then I'll have to act."
Lin Moyu replied, "Fine, I'm ready anytime."
The Candle Dragon snorted coldly. Black clouds appeared in the void, thunder crackling, quickly blotting out the sky. The Candle Dragon invoked the rules, summoning heavenly punishment. Lin Moyu was equally unyielding his consciousness stirred, using Gather Power, his aura soaring.
Lin Moyu broke through Eternity, reaching half step transcendence. His palm glowed as he looked at the Candle Dragon. "Let's do this."
