Chapter 4761: Nothing Is Impossible
The Chaos Desolation Dragon was extremely powerful, ranked first in offense and second in defense, and within the same realm it was very hard to kill him.
Even if he were unconscious and allowed the Calamity Great Venerate to strike freely, it would still take considerable effort to finish him off.
However, to Lin Moyu, the Chaos Desolation Dragon's weakness was very obvious.
Its weakness lay in its immense dependence on the power of heaven and earth; every one of its movements consumed an endless amount of that power.
As the strongest living being once nurtured by heaven and earth, heaven and earth were especially close to him, allowing him to freely borrow their power, and this was one of the reasons for his might.
At the same time, relying on this point, the Chaos Desolation Dragon sought to merge into heaven and earth and had already fused with a portion of it, enabling it to draw on even greater power.
If the power of heaven and earth were stripped away, the Chaos Desolation Dragon's combat strength would plummet.
Its attacks would weaken, and its defenses would fall with them.
Lin Moyu understood very well that killing him with his own strength would not be difficult, but he did not intend to kill him.
The one who truly wanted the Chaos Desolation Dragon dead was someone else.
So what he needed to do was only to exhaust the Chaos Desolation Dragon's power, turning him into a lamb waiting for slaughter, just waiting for the butcher's knife to fall.
The undying spirit soldiers continued their assault without pause, and the Chaos Desolation Dragon could not break through for a long time.
Again and again he erupted with terrifying power, slaughtering the undying spirit soldiers repeatedly, yet no matter how he killed, he could not kill them all.
This kind of despair could only be understood by the Chaos Desolation Dragon himself.
In the void, the giant eye began to emit multicolored radiance.
With each opening and closing of the eye, the void was completely shattered.
"Dao" helped the Chaos Desolation Dragon slay vast numbers of undying spirit soldiers, attempting to open a path for him to break out.
Unfortunately, there were simply too many undying spirit soldiers.
Lin Moyu released yet another hundred million, thickening the encirclement and giving the Chaos Desolation Dragon no chance at all to leap out.
In "Dao's" giant eye, a strange flower appeared.
This flower was extremely peculiar; the blossom was incomplete, its petals not whole, and its core was likewise damaged.
But this did not affect its power.
Just seeing its phantom made one feel an indescribable pressure.
"This is not something from this heaven and earth."
Lin Moyu's heart was as clear as a mirror; with a single glance he knew this thing did not originate from the Primordial Chaos Wilds.
As a four-wheeled heaven and earth, the Primordial Chaos Wilds did not yet have the ability to nurture such a divine object.
"If there is no mistake, this flower should come from the Wall of Heaven and Earth, merely having merged into the Primordial Chaos Wilds without being nurtured by it."
"He possesses power beyond that of the Primordial Chaos Wilds. After the Heaven-Covering Beast obtained it, it broke through to the Great Venerate Realm."
"This flower is incomplete. If it were whole, the Heaven-Covering Beast might really have been able to use it to achieve the Dao."
"What a pity. This flower is both its making and its doom. After obtaining it, the Heaven-Covering Beast lost its physical body and could only exist in soul form, as though it had lost the very foundation of becoming a Dao being."
"With an incomplete body, there is no hope of attaining the Dao. If he still wishes to do so, he must rebuild a physical body, but having already broken through to the Great Venerate Realm, the difficulty of creating a suitable body is far too great."
"That severed tree root in this great calamity is his opportunity, which is why he will fight to the death for it."
In the instant he saw the strange flower, Lin Moyu had already understood the entire cause and effect and figured everything out.
That flower which they had fought over so desperately in the ancient era was both fated chance and disaster.
The strange flower slowly rotated within the giant eye, shattering layers of void and forming a power of grinding destruction.
Countless undying spirit soldiers were shredded by the broken space.
The grinding continued without interruption, and wherever it passed, no undying spirit soldier survived.
As the giant eye opened and closed, the strange flower spun faster and faster, and the void continued to collapse.
Even the revived undying spirit soldiers could not get close.
Two hundred million undying spirit soldiers were completely wiped out in less than ten minutes, and the Chaos Desolation Dragon gained a brief chance to breathe.
The Chaos Desolation Dragon exhaled in relief, emitting waves of dragon roars.
The undying spirit soldiers just now had left him extremely stifled; he could not kill them all and could not rush out, which was tormenting.
"Dao's" giant eye opened and closed once more, and the space where the Chaos Desolation Dragon was located shattered.
The Chaos Desolation Dragon fell into the broken void and vanished.
In the next heartbeat, the Chaos Desolation Dragon's phantom suddenly appeared behind Lin Moyu, and one massive claw slammed down.
"Dao" had used the power of space to help the Chaos Desolation Dragon grind away all the undying spirit soldiers, then sent him into deep space and opened a spatial channel so that he could strike Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu seemed unaware and showed no reaction to the giant claw attacking him from behind.
But at the instant the claw was about to land, the Calamity Scepter suddenly appeared in front of it.
The Balance Gem shone brightly, and the claw's aura plummeted as its power went out of control.
The Chaos Desolation Dragon had no time to pull back, and his strike landed squarely on the Calamity Scepter.
A miserable scream echoed from the depths of the void as countless cracks appeared on the Chaos Desolation Dragon's sturdy claw, which then exploded with a bang.
If he had not pulled back slightly at the last moment, that claw would inevitably have been completely pulverized.
In a direct contest of toughness with the Calamity Scepter, he still fell short.
Holding the Calamity Scepter, Lin Moyu looked at the giant eye and chuckled.
"So that is what the flower tastes like. After all these years, you still have not refined it?"
Flames surged up within the giant eye, and the surrounding void continually shattered, as if it were somewhat angered.
Lin Moyu knew he had struck a sore spot.
That flower indeed had not been refined, at least not completely.
The giant eye glared at Lin Moyu, and the strange flower spun, releasing a vast, overwhelming force.
"Die!"
A low shout seemed to come from ancient times, crossing the long river of time to fall upon Lin Moyu.
The space around Lin Moyu was instantly sliced into countless segments, each one shattered to a different degree.
It was as though Lin Moyu existed in countless different spaces at the same time, with every inch of his body enduring a different level of attack, even from different directions.
Under such circumstances, even the strongest physical body could be torn apart.
Lin Moyu's body twisted and deformed, but it never shattered.
"Dao" cried out again, "That is impossible! How can your body be this strong!"
From within the warped space, Lin Moyu's light laughter came.
"There is nothing impossible. You have no physical body and yet still want to attain the Dao. Are you not dreaming a bit too beautifully?"
The jab struck right at his weak point, and "Dao" was clearly angered.
The strange flower in his eye bloomed with radiant light that shone down onto Lin Moyu.
Within the glow was a peculiar power, as if it wanted to separate Lin Moyu's soul from his body.
Bathed in the radiance, Lin Moyu said, "So this is how your physical body was destroyed. The power of this strange flower truly is peculiar, capable of separating soul and flesh."
"Unfortunately for you, it does not work well on me."
"Suppress!"
With a low shout, his physical body suppressed heaven and earth, locking his soul firmly in place, immovable.
"Dao" exclaimed once more, "That is impossible!"
Lin Moyu shook his head with a soft laugh.
"I already told you, nothing is impossible."
As he spoke, he gently swung the Calamity Scepter, and in an instant countless phantoms of the scepter appeared in the void.
Within those phantoms, a single gem sparkled.
The Realm Gem burst forth with billions of colors, like billions of great daos manifesting all at once.
This was the Realm Gem, which governed the birth and death of realms and controlled the changes of the great daos.
The great dao transformed into a realm, and the realm enveloped the void.
Then the realm exploded, shattering the void along with it.
A muffled groan sounded as the Chaos Desolation Dragon, hidden in the deepest layers of space, was forcibly blasted out.
The cycle of realm birth and destruction had impacted him; although he was not badly injured, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
In the next moment, a new sea of undying spirit soldiers surged forth and surrounded him, as though everything had returned to the starting point.
