Chapter 4763: Hope You Keep Your Word
In the eyes of the Calamity Great Venerate, now that "Dao" was being burned by the World Burning Flame, even if he survived, he would no longer have the power to compete.
Jin Great Venerate was already nothing to be feared; the only troublesome one left was the Chaos Desolation Dragon.
If Lin Moyu released the encirclement, the Chaos Desolation Dragon could still cause him some trouble.
However, he did not care, because he had a trump card.
Lin Moyu looked at the Calamity Great Venerate.
"Do you believe you can kill me?"
The Calamity Great Venerate smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is an outsider, beyond this world.
Your fate cannot be seen clearly and is hard to fathom.
Although this Venerate has planned around you and used you, there has always been a trace of unease."
"So this Venerate lured Fellow Daoist Lin into the game, made all sorts of preparations, and at the same time took away Fellow Daoist Lin's relatives and friends as a form of restraint."
"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Lin were cruel enough, you could ignore them, but this Venerate believes you are not that kind of person."
Lin Moyu laughed.
"At least you are honest and have stopped hiding things."
The Calamity Great Venerate said, "At this point, there is naturally no need to conceal anything.
This Venerate is only curious when did Fellow Daoist realize all of this?"
Lin Moyu thought for a moment.
"Cannot quite remember.
In any case, it has been some time."
The Calamity Great Venerate asked, "Since it has been a while, why was Fellow Daoist Lin still willing to act according to this Venerate's arrangements?"
Lin Moyu answered, "As you said, Lin is someone who remembers kindness and cares deeply about the lives of relatives and friends.
For their sake, Lin was willing to act as a chess piece in your formation for the time being."
"But!"
Lin Moyu paused, and a stronger killing intent slipped into his voice.
"Lin also greatly dislikes others using this matter to threaten him.
For those who do such things, Lin will only do one thing kill!"
The Calamity Great Venerate laughed.
"Exactly as this Venerate expected.
Fellow Daoist Lin is decisive in killing and cutting.
Your relatives and friends are your one weakness.
It is a pity they are currently in this Venerate's hands."
Lin Moyu sighed.
"Indeed, that is why I have yet to make a move against you.
Say it what do you want?"
The Calamity Great Venerate smiled very happily; his plan had succeeded, and he had seized Lin Moyu's weakness.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is refreshingly straightforward.
It is actually very simple.
I must trouble Fellow Daoist Lin to activate the formation, and with full strength direct its power to attack that dragon."
The stronger the formation's power, the greater the backlash.
If the formation was fully activated, the backlash would be enough to severely wound or even kill a Great Venerate.
Lin Moyu said, "At first, were you not planning to use the formation against 'Dao'?
What, the target has changed?"
The Calamity Great Venerate laughed.
"Times have changed.
Back then, this Venerate did not know there was another hiding in the dark, nor did this Venerate know Fellow Daoist Lin's methods were so formidable.
So now the target can only be replaced."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, rest assured.
As long as you act as this Venerate says, this Venerate will send the small world back and guarantee that your relatives and friends will be safe and sound."
"Dao" was no longer a threat; the only troublesome one was that Chaos Desolation Dragon.
If he could use Lin Moyu to heavily injure the Chaos Desolation Dragon through the formation's power and then obtain the Calamity Scepter, no one would be able to stop him afterward.
The Calamity Great Venerate was very confident that Lin Moyu would follow his instructions.
He had been observing Lin Moyu and knew that Lin Moyu was a man of deep emotions.
As long as he held the small world in his hands, he could, to a certain extent, control Lin Moyu no matter how ruthless Lin's methods were.
Lin Moyu agreed without hesitation.
"Fine, we will do as you say.
I hope that afterward you will keep your word."
Soul power stirred slightly as Lin Moyu began to activate the formation.
The twelve great formations scattered across the Primordial Chaos Wilds were activated.
They emerged from the spatial interlayers one after another and appeared in the void.
In the Western Polar Pure Land, the Eastern Polar Sea of Fire, the Northern Polar Heart, the Central Domain's Divine Phoenix Ancestral Land…
Within these extreme regions, the great formations suddenly surfaced, unleashing an astonishing aura.
These formations had been absorbing the various exotic powers of heaven and earth, accumulating for countless years, and their strength had reached an unimaginable level.
Using the cross domain formation as a link, they gathered their power together, crossed through space, and could strike at any enemy in any corner of the Primordial Chaos Wilds at any time.
The Primordial Chaos Wilds rumbled and shook, and the entire heaven and earth were affected.
In truth, the twelve formations could be launched without Lin Moyu, but their power would be greatly reduced.
Only when activated by Lin Moyu, the master of the formation, and run at full capacity could the formation's power reach its peak and even surpass the Heavenly Venerate level.
At the same time, as the one controlling the great formation, he would also have to bear an equivalent backlash.
Within the great formation, the Calamity Great Venerate still hid a trace of his own will.
He could sense that Lin Moyu had indeed activated the formation without reservation and locked onto the Chaos Desolation Dragon.
The corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a smile.
Everything seemed to be proceeding according to his plan.
His scheme and arrangements were about to succeed, and he would soon stand at the pinnacle and become the true ruler of this heaven and earth.
The Fate Venerate's eyes flickered, yet he did not speak nor attempt to stop Lin Moyu.
He trusted that Lin Moyu had his own ideas.
Because Lin Moyu's identity was special, he could not clearly see Lin's future.
Under the influence of the great tribulation, even the future he could see had become blurred.
At this moment, he could only wait wait for the result.
Lin Moyu thoroughly activated the formation.
All twelve formations launched with full power, and an incomparably vast strength crossed space and gathered.
Behind Lin Moyu, a terrifying grand formation manifested.
This grand formation contained projections of the twelve formations.
The twelve seemed very similar, yet each was actually different.
Together, they interlocked and formed one complete great formation.
A colossal pressure swept through the void, and even the Calamity Great Venerate felt its oppressive force.
He had a hunch that if he were struck by this grand formation, he would definitely suffer severe injuries as well.
If the Chaos Desolation Dragon were struck by this formation, then no matter how strong its defense, its injuries would not be light.
By then, once he made a move, dealing with the dragon would become easy.
Even if he could not kill it outright, he could at least strip it of any chance of contending for the opportunity to become Dao.
After he became the supreme being, he could then turn back and exterminate the Chaos Desolation Dragon at his leisure; it would not be difficult.
Even so, he did not relax his vigilance.
He constantly monitored the formation to ensure Lin Moyu would not suddenly change his mind and turn the formation on him instead.
Fortunately, that did not happen.
From beginning to end, Lin Moyu locked firmly onto the Chaos Desolation Dragon.
Under the pressure of the formation, the Fate Venerate had no choice but to step behind the Eternal Desolate Bull.
He was still only a Great Venerate and could not withstand this formation.
The twelve formations gathered all the strongest powers of heaven and earth into one.
The formation's strength reached its peak, and a gigantic rift appeared in the void.
A single beam of light shot forth from the rift, heading straight for the Chaos Desolation Dragon.
When power rose to the absolute limit, there were no more flashy tricks; the entire process became simple.
This was the meaning of the dao being ultimately simple.
It was merely a beam of light, yet it carried boundless force as it smashed down upon the Chaos Desolation Dragon.
A miserable shriek sounded.
Within the light, the Chaos Desolation Dragon's flesh was torn open, its incomparably hard dragon scales shattering, its body pierced through, and its soul grievously wounded.
The Calamity Great Venerate chuckled.
"In all heaven and earth, there is no such thing as an invincible defense.
As long as the power is strong enough, any defense can be broken!"
He was clearly very satisfied with the formation's might.
Although it had originally been prepared for "Dao," changing the target now worked just as well.
In one strike, the formation had already left the Chaos Desolation Dragon half crippled.
After the attack, the formation continued to operate, and a terrifying backlash force surged forth.
The Calamity Great Venerate looked at Lin Moyu.
Next, it would be Lin Moyu's turn to endure the backlash.
"Everything ends here!"
The Calamity Great Venerate murmured inwardly; he was about to attain the Dao.
Lin Moyu extended a finger and pointed toward the distant void.
"Go."
The backlash force instantly reversed its course and plunged into the void.
