Chapter 4757: Each With Their Own Designs
At this moment Lin Moyu had become a true spectator, watching them perform, watching them turn falsehood into truth, their play acting turning into real fury as the battle grew ever more intense.
All sides were fighting over gains, like a raging storm, while he was the eye of the storm, the calmest place of all.
As long as he did not move rashly, the storm would continue for some time.
Everyone present wanted to prove the Dao.
They all wanted to obtain the Divine Wood Sea and even wanted to kill him, while at the same time they would never allow him to obtain the Divine Wood Sea.
So they had to fight to the death against each other, yet also guard against him.
Lin Moyu understood this very clearly, so he did not move and simply watched the show there while doing his own work.
Within the Calamity Great Venerate's domain, his formations were already complete, and the control of the Calamity Great Venerate's arrays had officially changed hands.
The entire process was silent and without a trace.
No one but Lin Moyu knew, not even the Calamity Great Venerate himself.
Lin Moyu had not only taken over those formations, but had also set up a formation completely belonging to himself within them.
This formation quietly opened a passage and, using the power of the rules, connected the small world to the outside.
"Oh?"
The Calamity Great Venerate, in the midst of the fierce battle, was still paying attention to Lin Moyu.
Not only he, but the other few were as well.
They all had to guard against Lin Moyu.
Once Lin Moyu made any move, their spearheads would immediately turn toward him.
They absolutely would not allow Lin Moyu to obtain the Divine Wood Sea.
That was the bottom line.
Throughout the whole process, Lin Moyu had not moved at all, merely watching in silence without even speaking.
"Only the final step remains."
Lin Moyu thought to himself.
Everything was ready; the only thing left was to bring the small world out.
Under the shroud of the formations, the small world began to detach from its original location and leave the domain along the passage that Lin Moyu had opened.
The soul motes escorted it along the way, manipulating the rules of heaven and earth to conceal the aura of the small world.
At the same time, at the small world's original location, a projection appeared.
The projected small world was vivid and lifelike.
Everyone inside was living well, no different from the real one.
Even the Calamity Great Venerate would not be able to see any discrepancy without very careful inspection.
Not long after the small world left its original place, two gigantic eyes suddenly appeared in the void.
They were a pair of beast eyes, flashing with divine light as they swept across the void.
The small world that was in the process of leaving immediately came to a halt.
The soul motes used soul power to shield the small world, ready to fight at any moment.
Although the soul motes were tiny, they were not without the power to fight.
However, the small world was far too fragile.
If a real battle broke out, even the aftershocks would be enough to shatter it.
"It is the manager of the domain rules."
Lin Moyu saw that the owner of the beast eyes was a domain manager, like the Candle Dragon from before, a being who managed the domain under the orders of the Calamity Great Venerate.
If there was any anomaly in the small world, it would definitely be discovered by him, and then the Calamity Great Venerate would be informed.
The beast eyes swept across the void and saw the projected small world that Lin Moyu had created, but did not notice anything amiss.
They then slowly closed and disappeared.
"The Calamity Great Venerate may be cautious, but the gap in level is something he cannot make up for.
A mere domain manager cannot possibly see through this."
The domain manager was not even at the Chaos Realm; there was no way he could perceive the tricks Lin Moyu had played.
Let alone him, even if the Calamity Great Venerate came in person, he would have to examine things very carefully before he could notice any trace.
It was like back when the Calamity Great Venerate used a clone to pose as the mysterious master.
Within that entire great world, who could see through it?
The gap in realm was simply too hard to bridge.
After the domain manager failed to detect anything unusual, the small world started moving again, traveling along the passage and gradually leaving the domain.
The projection of the small world still existed, and the formations were still there.
Everything looked perfectly normal.
The Calamity Great Venerate did not notice, and Meng Anwen and the others inside the small world also failed to sense any anomaly.
Just like that, right under the Calamity Great Venerate's nose, Lin Moyu forcibly carried the small world out of the domain using his own method.
The process went extremely smoothly, but Lin Moyu knew that the instant the small world left the domain would be the most dangerous moment.
According to his plan, once the small world left the domain, it would enter the Realm of the Spirit God.
This was equivalent to stripping the small world out of the Primordial Chaos Desolation.
Such an act completely violated the rules of heaven and earth, which would not only trigger resistance from the rules but also alarm the Calamity Great Venerate.
Moreover, this process required about ten breaths of time, which was more than enough for the Calamity Great Venerate to pull some outrageous move.
"A way must be found to divert the Calamity Great Venerate's attention."
Whoosh!
The Wings of Heaven and Earth suddenly spread open, covering billions of miles.
Lin Moyu's abrupt change immediately drew everyone's attention.
Those who were in the midst of exchanging blows all turned to look at him.
Lin Moyu smiled calmly.
"Carry on with your fight.
Do not mind me.
I was just getting a bit drowsy from watching and needed to stir up a bit of spell power to clear my head."
Apart from unfolding the Wings of Heaven and Earth, he made no other moves.
The Calamity Great Venerate vaguely felt that something was off, but he could not say exactly what.
Jin Great Venerate's eyes turned as he spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Lin seeks an opportunity to prove the Dao, does he not?
This old man can help you, for a single condition."
"Flowers, please…"
Lin Moyu looked at him with a beaming smile.
"What condition?
Please, senior, tell me."
As he spoke, Lin Moyu muttered inwardly, "Previously, Jin Great Venerate paved that road of rosy clouds, as if intending for me to walk along it into the Divine Wood Sea.
But he knew full well that I could not possibly enter, and the Calamity Great Venerate would never allow me in either."
"So that favor was purely for show, meant only for me to see.
And now he seems to be standing on my side again, but it does not matter if I chat with him for a few moments."
"With just a few lines of conversation, the Calamity Great Venerate's attention will certainly be drawn over, and I will have enough time to send the small world into the Realm of the Spirit God."
Lin Moyu's expression remained calm, as if he truly intended to negotiate something with Jin Great Venerate.
Jin Great Venerate said, "This old man knows that Fellow Daoist Lin is trapped within the scheme of that brat Calamity.
Although I do not know what methods that brat used to threaten you, at your current level, there are some things that no longer need to weigh so heavily on your mind."
"This old man no longer intends to remain in this heaven and earth.
If Fellow Daoist Lin can obtain an opportunity to prove the Dao and step into that level, all you need do is promise to find a suitable heaven and earth for this old man."
This condition was practically nothing and sounded very simple, but Lin Moyu knew well that it was actually very difficult.
Because his request was for a suitable heaven and earth.
What counted as a suitable one?
Where now could such a heaven and earth still be found, when all that remained were the remnants of shattered worlds?
From this alone, it was clear that Jin Great Venerate's desire for Lin Moyu to obtain the Divine Wood Sea was not so straightforward.
With contemplation in his eyes, Lin Moyu's gaze swept across the battlefield, and he suddenly understood.
Jin Great Venerate wanted to kill him, but not now.
He meant to strike at the very moment Lin Moyu refined the Divine Wood Sea and achieved the rank of the almighty supreme.
The Heaven and Earth Venom Bugs in his hand had never been used at full strength.
Their most potent poison had never once been unleashed.
The poison of the Heaven and Earth Venom Bugs came from another heaven and earth.
It was condensed from the most turbid and filthy things of an entire world.
Even if a supreme almighty were to be poisoned by it, they would be in great trouble.
The Hongmeng Gem transmitted its voice.
"Master, he wants to poison you at the moment you prove the Dao, so that the Heaven and Earth Venom Bugs can recover and completely ascend to the level of a supreme almighty."
"In the past, that venom bug used the same method against a supreme almighty, but it did not succeed.
Master must be careful."
What the Hongmeng Gem said was exactly the same as Lin Moyu's own thoughts.
However, for now…
Lin Moyu smiled faintly.
"What senior says is indeed reasonable, but Lin is not a man without feelings or gratitude.
There are those who have shown Lin kindness, and if there is a chance to repay that kindness, then it must be repaid."
