Chapter 4361: As If Crossing Blades With a Supreme
Whether a Supreme or "Dao," neither boded well for Lin Moyu; neither was something he could provoke.
Yet something felt off. By rights, it shouldn't be either of them.
If not one of those two then who? Who else could accomplish something like that?
No answer came. Whoever did it clearly didn't want him to know. If he insisted on guessing, the outcome might be bad. But without an answer, being watched without knowing by whom or from where gnawed at him.
A vague conclusion took shape: it likely wasn't "Dao."
Such a method didn't fit "Dao's" stature.
Forget him even a Heavenly Supreme like Tiandi would be a gesture away from death under "Dao." Lin Moyu was nothing.
If "Dao" suspected him, erasure would be immediate. No tests. No erasing traces afterward. That would be pointless.
Then the other possibility: a Heavenly Supreme most likely the Eastern Extreme's.
But would a Heavenly Supreme bother with something so petty?
Unless this particular Heavenly Supreme had an odd penchant, it seemed unlikely. Of course, there could be special reasons or it wasn't the Eastern Extreme's Heavenly Supreme at all.
"No point thinking it to death. Maybe one day, the answer will reveal itself."
After a long stretch of fruitless thought, Lin Moyu let it go.
By now, he had nearly finished refining the formation, and his comprehension of formation Dao had climbed higher still. He felt himself ascending the peak of arrays though not a formation cultivator, he had already surpassed many who were.
Half a month later, the broken array was fully refined and stored into a formation disk.
The dragon pythons tore open the void to search for the next remnant.
This time it was farther; a ten day flight brought them to the third fragment, similar in scale to the previous two.
Lin Moyu repeated the process comprehend and refine.
This fragment bore no traces of the Catastrophic Supreme, but Lin Moyu still gleaned more about formations. Across three remnants, he faintly grasped a sliver of a Supreme's formation thought.
Every formation master has a style. The three remnants' styles were similar, but not identical.
Why? Because the cross domain grand array wasn't laid by one Supreme's hands alone. The Supreme provided the design; many formation masters performed the actual laying.
Thus similarity yet difference. Lin Moyu could feel the distinctions clearly but still could not explain why the second remnant carried traces of the Catastrophic Supreme.
They set out to find the fourth fragment. This one was far and still receding; even with non stop crossings, it took nearly a month to catch up.
Thanks to the dragon pythons' space talent; if it had been Lin Moyu flying himself, it might have taken centuries.
The fourth fragment was the largest among the four and the best preserved almost untouched.
Even besieged by hundreds of dragon pythons, it suffered no added harm nor could they stop it drifting away.
Because this fragment contained a complete defensive formation that enveloped and carried it along.
That complicated things. Lin Moyu could not enter the array. Even with three Greater Completion dragon pythons going all out, they could only slow it slightly.
So Lin Moyu watched from afar, studying the array. He had to crack the defensive formation; without that, he couldn't get close.
It had been designed by a Supreme; it would not be easy.
But the more difficult, the more it stirred his will to win.
Cracking a Supreme's formation felt like crossing blades with a Supreme across time and space.
A Supreme is the ultimate goal of countless cultivators in Chaos and the realm Lin Moyu himself would one day challenge. How could he not be excited?
He shadowed the fragment for a full three years before finding a path to break it.
Chaos runes streamed out. When they touched the defense, they slipped in without resistance.
What he drew and what the defense was became nearly one. His imitation reached at least ninety percent fidelity.
Over those three years, he imagined himself as the original array master, retracing the Supreme's formation logic, reverse deducing a solution.
Hundreds of runes later, Lin Moyu slipped into the role of master of the defense. With a single step, he entered the array.
The hardest part was done. The rest would be easy.
With experience from three fragments and three years of study, he essentially understood the Supreme's array logic.
In just a few days, this fragment was under full control.
Next came refining a simple matter for him. He forged a disk and took the fragment in.
"Finally done. Hopefully the cross domain array split into only five, not more."
After a vast expenditure of time, all four post shatter fragments were his.
If the grand array had shattered into no more than five, the Cause Seeking Ring could now find the last.
He took out the ring. Soul force surged and activated it.
"Effect without cause locate the cross domain grand array from the Central Domain, now in the Eastern Extreme!"
He gave the fullest criteria. Through omnipresent causality, the ring would pinpoint it.
Because it was tied to a Supreme, the backlash remained immense. Lin Moyu exploded on the spot, unable to bear it.
He was used to it. Purple light leapt; he was reborn again and again.
When he had first arrived in the Eastern Extreme, he used the ring and locked onto the smallest of the four fragments and died ten times.
By deaths alone, he could gauge the fragment's scale.
Through repeated use, he'd accumulated experience.
More than ten deaths eighty percent confidence.
More than twenty ninety percent.
This time, he died thirty six times before stabilizing. Which meant the target now should be the core body of the grand array.
He put away the ring and casually chose a direction.
With causality anchoring, any direction he chose would be the direction causality demanded; it could not be wrong.
He sent a mental order to the dragon pythons. "Head that way."
They immediately opened a passage, crossing billions of li at a time.
After a full month, space suddenly roiled. An invisible force surged, forcibly cutting off the dragon pythons' space talent.
A vast power blew like a gale in his face. Lin Moyu's expression shifted, pupils narrowing, as a colossal formation rose into view.
