Chapter 4355: Ancestor, Wake Up!
Lin Moyu's legion of undead reborn followers was growing rapidly. Among the Xuan Dragon Python lineage, their great elder had once led twelve Chaos Greater Completion level sub chieftains, each with over a hundred subordinates. Altogether, the entire Xuan Dragon Python branch had about fifteen hundred members. The explosion of the cross domain grand array killed over three hundred, so now there were about twelve hundred left. The group led by Dong Xuan San had suffered severe losses, leaving only a few dozen under his command.
The rest were lured over in waves and subsequently became Lin Moyu's followers. In a little over a year, Lin Moyu's forces had gathered nine Chaos Greater Completion level sub chieftains like Dong Xuan San, along with all their subordinates around a thousand total. This force was formidable enough to be nearly invincible, at least against any non Full Completion powerhouses.
In this same period, Lin Moyu didn't travel elsewhere; he simply focused on amassing power. He knew that if he kept searching for other fragments of the cross domain array, he would eventually run into the Xuan Dragon Python ancestor a Full Completion powerhouse. Even if that ancestor was not the strongest among Full Completion beings, he was still far from Lin Moyu's ability to handle alone.
However, with enough Greater Completion sub chiefs at his disposal, if he was well prepared and wielded the Soul Severing Needle, there was a real possibility of success. The only problem with targeting a Full Completion being was that they possessed a domain, making them incapable of becoming undead followers. It was not that he couldn't, but that he shouldn't reviving someone with a domain would destabilize the rules of chaos and attract attention from the Dao itself.
Still, for the sake of the cross domain array, Lin Moyu would be forced to go up against a Full Completion being. "Nine Greater Completion powerhouses that's at least a fifty percent chance," he calculated inwardly. "Add in the ancestor's injuries from the explosion another ten percent. And if all nine coordinate a sneak attack yet another ten percent. So it's a seventy percent chance. That's enough to risk it."
There were still three Greater Completion sub chiefs who hadn't appeared. Dong Xuan San said they must have received word, but perhaps they'd found their own fragments of the array and didn't respond, wanting the benefits for themselves. If so, Lin Moyu simply excluded them from his plans.
Next was to choose the right place to set up a trap for the Xuan Dragon Python ancestor. The ancestor, having been severely injured by the cross domain array's explosion, had not shown himself since. He was recuperating and someone knew the exact location. That "someone" was now one of Lin Moyu's undead followers.
Lin Moyu's eyes shone. "Since that's the case, I'll go and preside at your funeral personally." He set about arranging an upgraded formation. This time, he was not just creating a formation he was enhancing it, making the Void Breaking Formation not just a trap but a weapon.
Lin Moyu knew that with his current array making ability, killing a Full Completion being with a formation alone was not realistic, but if he could disrupt and hinder the target just a sliver of increased odds that would help. At the very least, he needed to block the ancestor's escape; therefore, improving the entrapment capabilities was essential.
He devoted a full century to the new formation and poured all he'd learned from studying the cross domain array into its structure. The cross domain grand array, the ultimate usage of space crafted by a Supreme, gave Lin Moyu profound insights into the rules of chaos and formation mastery. This century was not just for plotting it advanced his formation cultivation substantially. He realized that not even the Eastern Extreme Dragon Python's spatial gifts could compare to the level of understanding a Supreme demonstrated in their work.
After a hundred years, four new Void Breaking Formations were completed. The new arrays used the deepest currents of spatial chaos and, combined with the Wings of Chaos, shattered the fabric of space in a far more extreme way than before. Previously, the formations and wings would mix space into something like paste. Now, that paste was cut into countless fragments each an isolated, chaotic void of its own.
Lin Moyu believed that, unless one had powers akin to a Supreme, it would be impossible to escape such a trap by traversing space. Since the next enemy was a Full Completion powerhouse, Lin Moyu prepared with utmost caution.
The improved formations also absorbed some offensive power, drawing chaotic turbulence through spatial fissures and using it for attacks. While not overwhelmingly destructive, the main goal was harassment and distraction. The Wings of Chaos allowed myriad sprites to manifest within the arrays, their curses and effects making things even messier inside the battlefield.
Attacks of this level wouldn't truly threaten a Full Completion power, but they were meant to irritate and distract further adding to the chaos of the battlefield and hampering any attempt at coordinated spatial escape.
Once everything was ready, the Eastern Extreme Dragon Python led Lin Moyu across space to the ancestor's secret healing site. In chaos, very few locations were fixed; even the powerful lived semi nomadically. The Xuan Dragon Python ancestor possessed a treasure that could transform into a castle, small enough to fit in a fist, and concealed within the seams of space itself. Tracking down such a thing would be nearly impossible without guidance.
But with an insider leading the way, Lin Moyu succeeded where others could not. Surviving to reach Full Completion in chaos was never easy and this ancestor surely never imagined that his own kin, resurrected as an undead thrall, would bring an enemy straight to his hidden lair.
When Lin Moyu finally saw the castle, its diminutive size astonished him. He realized he'd seen this kind of castle before within the Five Worlds Domain: its design was nearly identical to the Flower Fairy's castle. Its main purpose was concealment a favorite trait among many chaos dwellers.
Wherever the castle traveled, the ancestor traveled.
Lin Moyu muttered, "Perfect I can lay the groundwork right here."
"Wings of Chaos!"
The wings fanned out, and Lin Moyu activated the improved formation disk. Vast tracts of void descended into chaos; the wings sent out countless sprites that dove into every crevice of space. First, all within ten million li was mixed and pulped, then it fragmented into a million independent pieces.
At the height of this spatial disturbance, the castle could no longer maintain its shrunken state. It rapidly expanded to full scale, revealing its true form.
"It really is just like the Flower Fairy's castle," Lin Moyu murmured. As the castle was restored to its full appearance, a powerful force flared upward from within.
At that very moment, Lin Moyu triggered his command, and the many Eastern Extreme Dragon Pythons under his control shouted as one "Ancestor, wake up!"
