Chapter 4431: The Obsession of the Chaos Divine Water Beast
Chaos Child sowed confusion among the masses nearly everyone on the Rainbow Bridge believed the Chaos Divine Water Beast was targeting them.
Meanwhile, Little Tree dispatched those Chaos Minor Completion cultivators who were unable to move, tossing them far away. In an instant, countless beings flew out like raindrops.
Lin Moyu seized the moment, spreading his wings of chaos and slipping away with the crowd.
He saw confusion flicker in the Divine Water Beast's eyes surprised that the chaos on the bridge had startled even it.
It meant to target only Lin Moyu why were all the others fleeing?
At that moment, with only a sliver of intelligence and much driven by instinct, it could not understand this chaos was Lin Moyu's doing.
By the time it realized, everything was out of control; even it was affected by Chaos Child's influence, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint Lin Moyu in the crowd.
To it, everyone looked like Lin Moyu; everyone seemed to be wearing the Cause Seeking Ring.
If it were at its peak, not even the Pearl (let alone the current Lin Moyu) could have deceived it.
But newly reconstituted, not at its peak barely stronger than an ordinary Full Completion expert it was susceptible.
It grew frantic and enraged. With a furious roar, rain poured and thunder raged on the bridge.
Screams broke out instantly; about eighty percent of Chaos Minor Completion cultivators were slain by the lightning.
The rain was formed of Chaos Divine Water: when it struck, the body began to melt soul dissolving with it.
If too much fell on you, no trace was left behind.
Chaos Great Completion cultivators barely managed to act, bringing out treasures and trying desperately to resist.
Even so, they couldn't fully dodge; most could only try to escape.
Full Completion experts fared best knowing resistance was pointless, they fled using flying treasures.
The Divine Water Beast, unable to spot Lin Moyu or the ring, lashed out indiscriminately. Unbeknownst to it, Lin Moyu had already fled the chaos, boarding the Calamity Boat to escape.
Far away, a faint figure appeared.
He held a memory stone, recording every event at the scene.
A thought, and an array activated, causing the stored footage to multiply.
A cold smile: he was clearly pleased.
"The Chaos Divine Water Beast wantonly slaughters West Pole souls such a beast is not worthy of being anyone's totem.
"The races of the West Pole were self evolved, born of chaos, unrelated to such creatures.
"We cultivators must rebel against fate, striving forever how could we revere another, especially a mindless, brutal beast?"
His tone was icy, laced with warning and provocation, which was transmitted alongside the recordings.
When he finished, a wave of his hand warped the void, summoning black clad figures who knelt respectfully before him.
All of them were Full Completion powerhouses.
"Distribute these recording stones see that all the West Pole people view them."
They took the stones and leapt through space to spread the recordings.
He murmured, "Revive? Forget it without faith, I'll see how you manage.
Heh, old Xingquan, in the end, you got played after all."
A laugh
A gray robed elder appeared not far off.
Xingquan did not turn. "What are you doing here, Boyang?"
The azure robed Boyang Supreme smiled, "Just came to see how your little ruckus turned out."
Xingquan Supreme replied, "All as planned: the Cause Seeking Ring drew out the Divine Water Beast perfectly, and I got this opportunity."
Boyang Supreme said, "So your wish is granted. After this, whether the beast is re sealed or not, its chance of revival is gone."
Xingquan Supreme answered, "Suppressing it isn't hard changing people's hearts is."
Boyang Supreme laughed, "Old fox, you just don't want to risk your own karma. But if this works, the order of chaos can be rebuilt and old karmic bonds erased."
Xingquan Supreme's tone was cold: "Easy to say; no one can guarantee success. Even Catastrophe said himself the chances were only sixty percent otherwise, why would we all hide behind the scenes?"
Boyang shook his head: "That wasn't Catastrophe's exact words. He said, if his judgment is wrong: sixty percent chance. If right, more than ninety percent."
Xingquan Supreme responded, "Even nine tenths certainty means a chance of failure and we only have this one shot. If we fail…"
Boyang replied, "If it fails, Bai Zhong and I will handle the consequences nothing will trace back to you. You can keep your West Pole post with peace of mind."
Xingquan said, "And if we do fail, I'll find a way to pull you out of samsara."
"Thanks in advance!" Boyang laughed, turning to gaze at the distant Pure Land.
Meanwhile, the Calamity Boat carried Lin Moyu into the inner region of the West Pole Pure Land, out of the beast's strike zone.
But the beast, still swayed by Chaos Child's influence, did not stop attacking.
Already, at least a hundred thousand Chaos cultivators had perished most Minor Completion.
They hailed from every West Pole tribe the loss a heavy blow.
After all, nurturing a Chaos level cultivator is no easy feat.
Inside the boat, Peng asked, "Father, why didn't you just kill the Divine Water Beast?"
He knew Lin Moyu could; with four remaining chaos corpses, he could kill it easily.
Lin Moyu shook his head, "No rush. Killing it now wouldn't end it for good."
"Its root is the obsession left behind so long as it exists, it'll be like the monsters in the desolate zone, dying and rising again."
"To truly kill it, you must first erase its obsession."
Peng asked, "So how do you do that?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "Someone already told me the way: its true obsession is at the heart of the Pure Land. When we reach the center, I'll find a way."
Erasing such a thing, especially from a supreme being, is no small task.
Even a Supreme couldn't cleanse this residue without destroying and refining the entire West Pole Pure Land.
Lin Moyu, however, had methods more than one.
Chaos Child's purified water could remove obsession, but he didn't have enough to cover the whole Pure Land.
Another way was using the World Devouring Fire, which could burn away everything, even obsessions.
So there was no hurry once they reached the heart and confronted the obsession directly, he'd act.
Meanwhile, he was almost done refining his supply of purified water…
