Chapter 4454: The Heart Cannot Be Too Soft
In just under ten seconds, Lin Moyu had fought with abandon he hadn't felt such exhilaration in a long time. He'd triggered his Ascension, unleashing nearly all his power and thoroughly suppressing his opponent.
The toughness of his body was a true surprise, not just in raw strength but in defense he had no need to even block the incoming crescent blade, his body alone could withstand it. Even attacks laced with spellpower could do nothing.
Only when the opponent unleashed his domain was Lin Moyu knocked back; even then, he was unharmed.
He realized he could now stand before Perfected experts, even without relying on spells.
He'd fought enough, didn't intend to keep going, and never planned to kill just to use this man as a test.
His last words, tauntingly, made the wolf's face darken even further he'd lost all dignity, forced to use his domain just to keep up.
"I'll kill you!" The wolf's eyes gleamed with murder.
Lin Moyu shook his head: "You can't. If you keep fighting, I will accompany you but be warned, life or death is on you."
The threat was clear Lin Moyu plainly had the power to kill.
"If you can't calm down, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
But before the wolf could finish, a tremendous pressure descended, silencing him instantly.
Everyone looked up to see a blurry figure in the sky:
"A Supreme!"
"The Supreme has come!"
Their voices shook with surprise. Why had the Supreme arrived?
The voice of Supreme Xingquan rang out, "Stop. You are free to go."
Lin Moyu met the Supreme's shadowy gaze, then turned and left without a single word of deference.
The wolf tried to protest, but one cold hum from the Supreme sent him howling, crashing to the ground in disgrace.
Before the Supreme, even Perfected experts were like children utterly powerless.
After Lin Moyu left, the Supreme announced: "An omen shrouds chaos. Calamity will descend. You must prepare."
"A great many will die. If you want to survive, avoid creating causal entanglements, or I won't be able to help."
"As for that boy…"
Here the Supreme paused, then finished, "Do not provoke him. My words are done watch yourselves."
With that, the Supreme vanished.
The remaining Perfecteds glanced at each other, pondering the Supreme's true meaning.
Calamity and chaos would soon follow the omen something huge was coming.
The message to avoid causal entanglements implied this event's roots lay with karma and consequence.
If tangled in too much karma, they would perish for anyone else, they wouldn't have believed it, but from a Supreme, it was gospel.
And for Lin Moyu, the Supreme not only let him go but warned others not to mess with him was even the Supreme wary?
Such a person as Supreme Xingquan shouldn't fear anyone unless… unless Lin Moyu carried massive karmic weight, and whoever involved themselves with him would suffer misfortune.
That, at least, fit the facts.
His own combat strength was extraordinary, further proof that he was not ordinary.
They were thankful not to have made an enemy of Lin Moyu, nor to have risked any karmic ties.
Some gave sympathetic glances to the wolf, beaten by Lin Moyu and humiliated by the Supreme his luck could not be worse.
"Don't take it too hard, Tianlang. The Supreme meant well."
"Yes, the warning is for our good. Whoever tangles with that kid is inviting disaster."
"Forget it let it go. Even the Supreme would rather avoid him."
The wolf, regaining human form, seemed calmer, though his eyes were dark.
"I understand. The Supreme is right. I'll take my leave." And with that, he flew away.
In the aftermath, the others all pondered deeply.
Lin Moyu's performance was unbelievable. Tianlang's blade was a real treasure none of them would dare face it head on, yet Lin Moyu did, with a fist.
Such a body was beyond reason could he even be human? Surely some unique breed.
After a few more comments, each left intending to follow the Supreme's hint, keep a low profile, and stay away from fate's entanglements.
No one knew what chaos would soon erupt.
Leaving the West Pole Pure Land, Lin Moyu shrouded himself in blue flame and headed for the nearest teleportation array, once again in disguise as a local to avoid trouble.
Given his power, only a Supreme could stop him in this domain but he preferred to avoid all fuss.
He found the teleportation array, inserted chaos gold, chose his destination, and left.
He was searching for his personal domains both the Grand World and Law World were somewhere nearby, and now that his soul was stronger, he could sense their exact positions.
…
Meanwhile, Supreme Xingquan and another in green, Supreme Boyang, watched Lin Moyu leave.
Sighing, Xingquan said, "The anomaly from the wasteland shrouds chaos I checked with the Wheel of Fate: the future will be wild. We must prepare."
Boyang smiled, "There's always chaos before anything big. Didn't the last Tides of Chaos stir the South Pole powers?"
"This time is different more than a mere war of realms. Something deeper, but even the Wheel of Fate can't see it."
Boyang remained unconcerned, "There's too much none can see not even him can discern all."
"Enough. Keep your voice down," Xingquan warned.
Boyang did, but added, "If chaos and the tides coincide, keep an eye on the South Pole they're up to something. We must be watchful."
"Why aren't you going back yet?"
"I'm going, I'm going. But if things go totally mad, let it become a true storm. Go with the flow sometimes, a hard price must be paid. The heart cannot be too soft."
Xingquan waved him off, "Yeah, yeah. Enough with your chatter."
