Chapter 4478: The Chaos Realm Great Completion Thief
Traveling through the void, the sword formation was quite incredible.
Hundreds of paired swords and chaos cultivators had their qi and power merged into one seamless force.
At this moment, the group was like a single razor sharp blade.
The sword pierced through the barriers of reality, firing through space as a shining streak.
Lin Moyu stood atop the sword, feeling an illusion of entering the Ancient Wilderness Road.
Though it was not really that path, it was artificially created hundreds of Great Completion chaos cultivators combining their strength and treasures to make a unique channel.
This tunnel used time space attributes, allowing everyone to move silently.
It was stealth rather than raw speed; Lin Moyu noticed their pace was actually not fast at all, even slower than his own flight.
But the magic was in cloaking their tracks with time space power.
Tang Feng's sword tip kept producing corpses these were Western Pole natives they'd slain over the years.
The bodies were burned in the "487" sword formation, their leftover energy joining the formation and reinforcing it.
Because the corpses came from the Western Pole, their burned auras helped hide the group's trail even better.
They kept moving quietly toward their goal.
Tang Feng, controlling the sword, didn't explain, but Lin Moyu broke the silence: "Daoist Tang, are you on a special mission?"
Tang Feng glanced over, a bit startled, as if to ask, how did you guess?
Despite seeming stern and poker faced, Lin Moyu could tell Tang Feng was bad at hiding emotion. It took just one question to get his answer.
Lin Moyu laughed, "No need to be surprised, Daoist Tang. I'm no stranger to time space power; I can sense the unusual state we're in."
Tang Feng still kept silent.
Lin Moyu didn't press, but continued: "If this is really so special, why bring me along? Wouldn't it be safer to let me go to the array first?
Adding a stranger to a task only increases risk.
What if I somehow mess up your plan?"
Tang Feng murmured, "Could be a risk, but it could be something else, too."
As he spoke, he looked toward the front. Lin Moyu followed his gaze to a man with an odd aura.
Lin Moyu could see lots of karma wrapped about this person, entangled into an eerily balanced knot.
To someone cultivating karma, this man would look like a mystery, impossible to read.
But Lin Moyu saw it differently: after years of dealing with karma, he knew there was something deeper called "fate."
Karma and fate are linked; hardly anyone cultivates fate in chaos it's too difficult. Most start with karma before glimpsing something more.
In standalone domains, fate is easier to tap, but entering chaos makes it far more complex.
Those who practice fate in a domain often lose that power in chaos, or must switch to another Dao.
In chaos, "fate" is often called "destiny."
Lin Moyu said, "That man cultivates fate very rare."
Tang Feng was even more amazed: "You can tell?"
Lin Moyu shrugged, "I dabble in lots of things, but just superficially. Still, I'd guess you brought me because it was his idea."
Tang Feng said, "You're a cut above, Daoist Lin. His name is Tang Bing, and he is my blood kin."
Lin Moyu replied, "From what I understand, fate cultivators have to sacrifice a lot and their fighting prowess is usually lower than others.
If you learn fate by starting with karma, your life gets tangled, and danger follows.
Any group with a fate cultivator guards them like treasure, never letting them roam unless absolutely necessary.
So this mission must truly be special sending out a fate cultivator."
Tang Feng admitted, "Tang Bing ran a prediction and saw our mission had only a 50% success rate.
But after we met you, he predicted again and saw the chance jump to 80%. The extra 30% was due to you.
That's exactly why I insisted you come.
I hope you won't mind."
Lin Moyu replied, "I won't mind if you're honest with me. If you tell the truth, I don't have much of a temper."
Tang Feng explained, "We are sneaking into the Western Pole to retrieve something from the Cold Toad clan.
Every one of us is part of the Tang God Sect, an affiliate of the Central Domain God Alliance.
In a great war long ago, our ancestor died in the West, and our sect's treasure, the Dark God Pearl, was lost."
"We've traced its location after countless years and found it with the Cold Toads, so we came here to reclaim it."
Lin Moyu asked, "How strong is the Cold Toad clan now?"
Tang Feng answered, "They were powerful once, but in the last great war, their foundation was severely damaged.
Now, at most, one or two Perfection experts remain they are no longer formidable."
He spelled out everything:
The Cold Toad were once strong but now lived on the edge of chaos, too weak to risk the core region.
So whatever happened internally, no one paid much notice.
Their hundreds could slip in, and even meeting a Perfection level Cold Toad, they still had a good chance.
They brought many treasures to restrain Perfection level enemies; all present were Great Completion chaos cultivators, because rules strictly forbid Perfection level beings from entering another extremity or face instant death.
Thus, only Great Completion experts came; this didn't violate the rules, so Supreme Xingquan wouldn't attack them.
As long as the Supreme doesn't act, even Perfection experts may not know they're there.
With time space tricks and Tang Bing's fate arts they could sneak in without a trace.
The Dark God Pearl can't be kept in a domain or in a storage treasure; so as long as they could get inside, they could find it.
The best option was theft grab the Pearl and slip out with time space powers.
Lin Moyu smirked, "So you're playing at being thieves."
Tang Feng forced a smile. "Daoist Lin jokes we're just taking back what's ours. Hardly theft."
Lin Moyu asked, "If you came for the Pearl, why have you killed so many Western Pole natives? Seems you've slaughtered more than one group."
Tang Feng said, "We've been here over 500 years, and must have killed ten batches, totaling several thousand.
We hate to do it this risks war between the West and Central, with untold suffering. But it was necessary for us to get inside safely.
Tang Bing says you can help us, though I don't know how. But rest assured, as long as I'm alive, you won't be harmed."
