Chapter 4762: He Is Merely Timid
In just that brief moment, the Chaos Desolation Dragon's smashed claw had already recovered.
As the favored child of heaven and earth, his recovery speed was astonishing, making him exceedingly hard to kill.
"Dao" stared coldly at Lin Moyu, not only furious but, for the first time, feeling the situation was tricky.
This Great Venerate Lin Moyu was completely different from other Great Venerates.
The others he could easily kill, yet Lin Moyu stood there motionless and was still extremely hard to slay.
The strength of Lin Moyu's physical body had already surpassed the Great Venerate level, and in his hand he held the Calamity Scepter, such a fearsome weapon, making him very difficult to deal with.
Precisely because Lin Moyu's body was too powerful, "Dao" felt even more enraged.
If he had possessed such a body back then, after obtaining the strange flower he would not have had to abandon his flesh and live on solely as a soul.
At this moment, he had to think of how to kill Lin Moyu, and it did not seem like a simple matter.
He was not the only one shocked; the Calamity Great Venerate was also stunned.
The toughness of Lin Moyu's physical body likewise exceeded his expectations.
Even so, the Calamity Great Venerate still did not act.
Right now Lin Moyu was fighting others, and he wanted to see what other trump cards Lin Moyu had.
The Calamity Great Venerate's eyes flickered.
He had confidence in his own trump cards, enough to control Lin Moyu; no matter how strong Lin Moyu's body was, it would be meaningless.
"The Calamity Scepter and this chance to attain the Dao will, in the end, be this Venerate's and only this Venerate's!"
Lin Moyu gazed at the giant eye, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"Anything else up your sleeve?
You call yourself 'Dao', but it seems you are somewhat unworthy of the name."
"Could it be that the so called 'Dao' of this heaven and earth amounts to only this much?
That would be far too disappointing."
Hearing Lin Moyu's taunts, annihilating flames surged within "Dao's" giant eye.
The strange flower was once more engulfed by fire and re activated.
The flower released a terrifying pressure, drawing in endless power of heaven and earth, which turned into billions of great daos, shining like a galaxy in the void.
"You deserve to die!"
Billions of daos transformed into blades and weapons, sweeping in from all directions.
Since these weapons were formed from the great dao itself, each carried attributes of its own, some colliding, some fusing, their power constantly rising.
The Wings of Heaven and Earth beat lightly, and the wings, which had long since unfolded, now shone with radiant light that illuminated the void.
"Scatter!"
With a low shout, the radiance on the Wings of Heaven and Earth intensified, and all of the blades and weapons struck by the light instantly lost their momentum and reverted back into pure great dao.
"This is impossible!" came another cry of shock from the void.
Lin Moyu smiled.
"Can you not change your line?
You have already said that phrase several times; it is getting tiresome."
"Your methods are nothing more than these manipulating the great dao of heaven and earth, commanding the power of space, and then using that flower to further enhance what you wield.
There is nothing particularly special about it."
"Since that is the case, it should be my turn to act."
The giant eye gave off a strong sense of disdain.
"This Venerate abides within heaven and earth, present everywhere.
Everywhere is this Venerate's body, and nowhere is not this Venerate's body.
This Venerate has both form and no form.
What can you possibly do to a Venerate such as this?"
"Both form and formless; that does sound a bit troublesome," Lin Moyu repeated "Dao's" words, as if seriously pondering how to deal with him.
"Dao's" mode of existence was extremely peculiar.
He had only his soul left, which was scattered throughout heaven and earth.
Just as he had said, everywhere was his true body and everywhere was not; he could exist at any point and disperse at any point.
Short of destroying all of heaven and earth, it would be very difficult to kill him.
The Calamity Great Venerate narrowed his eyes slightly, as though he had thought of something something that could kill "Dao," which, moreover, he himself had given to Lin Moyu.
He suddenly turned his head toward the Fate Venerate, his gaze as if asking whether it was that thing.
The Fate Venerate chuckled.
"There is no need to look at me.
That flame was always Fellow Daoist Lin's own.
You and I cannot use it."
Able to peer into the future, he knew how to make the right choice.
A cluster of flame leapt from Lin Moyu's hand and then exploded with a bang, in an instant turning into a sea of fire that swept across heaven and earth.
"Dao" said with disdain, "You want to burn this Venerate to death with this fire?
This Venerate controls the great dao, and there is no flame within heaven and earth that can burn this Venerate to death."
Lin Moyu replied blandly, "You will know after we try."
The Wings of Heaven and Earth continued to beat, suppressing the great dao of heaven and earth until all the great daos bowed their heads in submission.
The Ninefold Heaven Fate Technique was then unleashed, forcibly altering the rules of heaven and earth.
Lin Moyu said calmly, "You are within heaven and earth, diffused within the great dao and attached to the rules.
All that needs to be done is to drive you out of the great dao and the rules, and then you will have nowhere to flee."
With the Ninefold Heaven Fate Technique working together with the Wings of Heaven and Earth, Lin Moyu used overwhelming force to expel "Dao's" soul from the great dao and rules.
"Dao's" soul aura emerged from every corner, beginning to gather toward a certain place.
"No, impossible, this is impossible!" "Dao" screamed hoarsely.
At that moment, he had lost his control over the great dao and could no longer command the rules of heaven and earth.
He did not know how Lin Moyu had managed it, but the reality was that Lin Moyu truly had done so.
He repeatedly urged the strange flower, hoping to use it to reclaim control of the rules, but in the face of Lin Moyu's Ninefold Heaven Fate Technique, his strength was simply not on the same level.
Lin Moyu sighed.
"If this flower were complete, you might still have a chance.
What a pity."
The sea of fire formed by the World Burning Flame had already swept over.
The World Burning Flame was a supreme weapon against souls, and after continuously refining heaven and earth, it had evolved to an extremely powerful level.
Even "Dao's" soul could not withstand it.
At the moment his soul was swallowed by the flames, a heaven shaking scream rang out.
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"No different from the others.
Those who should not scream always do."
Once touched by the World Burning Flame, "Dao" had virtually no chance of survival; his fate was already sealed.
While "Dao" was consumed by the World Burning Flame, the Chaos Desolation Dragon was still encircled by the undying spirit soldiers.
With only the cultivation of a Great Venerate, Lin Moyu was facing two peak beings who surpassed Great Venerate level, yet he continued to hold the upper hand.
The heaven and earth venom bug, on the other hand, was being targeted by the rules of heaven and earth and was now heavily wounded, unable to endure for much longer.
Jin Great Venerate was likewise surrounded by undying spirit soldiers and unable to stir up the slightest wave.
The Fate Venerate took all of this in and felt more certain than ever that his choice had been correct.
Lin Moyu was a special person, origin unknown and fate unpredictable.
To make an enemy of him was, in all likelihood, to be finished.
So, when fate finally presented a choice, the Fate Venerate wisely decided to step back, refusing to oppose Lin Moyu.
Staying alive and well was better than anything else.
Clap, clap, clap!
The sound of applause rang out.
The Calamity Great Venerate clapped with a smile on his face.
"Remarkable.
Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed remarkable.
All of us underestimated you."
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist Fate did not underestimate me, so your words are not quite right."
The Calamity Great Venerate chuckled.
"He is merely timid, that is all."
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"That is not correct either.
Rather, Fellow Daoist Fate knows the time and understands how to weigh his options.
Do not forget what he does best.
Most of the time, his choices are not wrong."
The Calamity Great Venerate said, "Nothing in the world is absolute, and fate is not fixed.
It can be changed at any time.
If he truly had that kind of ability, this heaven and earth would already be his."
Lin Moyu replied with a smile, "Very well, you and I will each keep our own views on this matter.
Next, it is time to deal with our business.
This opportunity to attain the Dao is something I must obtain.
Do you intend to fight me for it?"
The Calamity Great Venerate shook his head.
"There is no need to fight.
Once you fall, this item will naturally belong to this Venerate.
There will be no need for any struggle."
