Chapter 4780: Hongmeng Violet Thunder Pearl
The same.
The very moment this idea appeared, it was rejected.
No, the interval was too long.
The divine dragon formed from laws had an attack interval of more than two seconds, which did not meet the conditions for deliberately courting death.
His gaze fell on the violet pearl.
The laws within Heaven and Earth could not possibly draw destructive power directly from the Forbidden Zone of Life.
If such power were truly drawn in like that, the first thing to collapse would be the Heaven and Earth themselves.
This was true for any tier of Heaven and Earth, without exception.
Even a Nine Cycle universe was no different.
When destructive power from the Forbidden Zone of Life entered a universe, it had to fuse with the laws, causing its strength to weaken greatly.
It would not remain as pure and overwhelmingly powerful as it was now, and it would certainly not spare the universe itself from harm.
Therefore, the true root of all this was that violet pearl.
"Perhaps this violet pearl can help me court death.
If it really works, I might have hope of finding the Void of a fleshly body."
A faint light shone in Lin Moyu's eyes.
He had to obtain the pearl.
Boom.
Lightning fell once more, and Lin Moyu's body was blasted to pieces.
The pure destructive power from the Forbidden Zone of Life was still something Lin Moyu, in his current state, could not withstand.
To resist destructive power, multiple conditions had to be met simultaneously.
At the moment, the only standard he barely met was in terms of his soul.
But soul alone was far from enough.
Within the violet light, Lin Moyu's voice echoed.
"Now this is getting interesting."
Compared to that True Lord in the child universe, this law formed divine dragon before him was much more amusing.
The universe split apart again, and the lightning came crashing down once more.
This time, Lin Moyu finally made a move.
The Calamity Scepter floated above his head and turned into a shield to block the thunder.
The destructive power within the thunder was strong, but not enough to damage the Calamity Scepter.
The World Scorching Flame flew out and turned into a sea of fire, engulfing the law dragon.
At the same time, the Wings of Heaven and Earth fully unfurled, and the Nine Heavens Fate Art was unleashed with full force.
"Suppress and kill."
Lin Moyu unleashed all his methods at once, giving the law dragon no chance to fight back.
No matter how the law dragon struggled, it could not resist Lin Moyu's assault.
Amid shrill screams, the divine dragon of laws was ripped completely to shreds.
Though the law dragon was destroyed, the violet pearl remained unaffected.
It flew of its own accord toward the nine storied pagoda.
The nine storied pagoda once again spewed out vast quantities of laws, re manifesting a law formed divine dragon.
With the dragon's roar, countless fissures tore through the universe.
Purple lightning filled the sky, each bolt carrying the destructive power of the Forbidden Zone of Life as it attacked.
The Calamity Scepter manifested layer upon layer of afterimages, sheltering Lin Moyu within.
However, the destructive power pierced through space itself, bypassed the Calamity Scepter entirely, and struck Lin Moyu in an instant.
Defense was futile.
Within the thunderlight, Lin Moyu's body was once again shattered into dust.
"The laws of a Nine Cycle universe really are hard to deal with."
Lin Moyu's body was reborn within violet light.
Just now, he had clearly stabilized the space around him, yet he still could not block the thunder.
His Nine Heavens Fate Art could alter the laws, but the law born lifeform evolved from the universe core could also change the laws.
As both sides modified the laws, even the slightest oversight on his part was enough for destructive power to break through and kill him.
If not for his rebirth, anyone else would have long since died beyond recovery.
The violet pearl was unaffected by the laws and could not be refined by the World Scorching Flame.
When Lin Moyu had destroyed the law dragon just now, he had already tried once to seize the pearl, but had failed.
There was a supremely high level power contained within the pearl.
Lin Moyu had the feeling that it was not the law dragon controlling the pearl, but rather the pearl controlling the law dragon and even the entire universe.
Lightning reappeared, and Lin Moyu finally grew serious.
"Extremity of the Undying."
His aura surged wildly.
The Techniques Realm, the Ten Directions Domain, the Linguistic Divine World, the Undying Spirit Armaments, and all his other powers gathered within his body in that instant, greatly boosting Lin Moyu's own strength.
In an instant, he broke through the Great Venerable realm, surpassed it, and approached the level of a supreme without limit.
His soul power also rose somewhat, though since his soul was already on par with that of a supreme, the increase was not that large.
All of that was secondary.
What truly mattered was the undying, indestructible state granted by the technique.
He had already tested it before.
Even when facing destructive power from the Forbidden Zone of Life, he could maintain an undying state for a short period of time.
Lightning slammed into his body, and the destructive power brought waves of sharp pain to Lin Moyu.
However, it did not shatter him into pieces as before.
The destructive force was incomparably mighty.
Lin Moyu could feel that the duration of his undying state was being drastically shortened.
Not wasting even a fraction of a second, he stepped forward, bypassed the law dragon, and in an instant arrived before the nine storied pagoda.
He did not reach for the violet pearl.
Instead, he attacked the nine storied pagoda directly.
Though the pearl was directing the laws, the source of those laws was still this universe core, so the root problem had to be dealt with.
Without the laws, the violet pearl would have nothing to command.
Taking advantage of his undying state, Lin Moyu pushed through layer after layer of law power and pressed his palm against the nine storied pagoda.
The World Scorching Flame roared into the nine storied pagoda, its flames shooting skyward as it began to refine.
Refining universes was what the World Scorching Flame did best and its primary ability.
Even when facing the core of a Nine Cycle universe, this remained true.
Piercing screams emanated from within the Nine Cycle pagoda.
The laws inside shattered in great quantities, and the entire universe began to quake.
The law dragon, having lost its source of law power, started to twist and distort.
The violet pearl trembled as though enraged.
Countless cracks opened in the universe, and lightning laced with destructive power hammered down on Lin Moyu.
But now, Lin Moyu was undying and indestructible.
He ignored the thunder completely, spread the Wings of Heaven and Earth, and let the Nine Heavens Fate Art pour down.
"Suppress and kill."
Under the combined weight of multiple forces, the law dragon was once again torn to pieces.
With the law dragon gone, the violet pearl flew back to the nine storied pagoda, intent on drawing upon the power of laws again.
Yet the nine storied pagoda itself was on the brink of collapse and could no longer spew out law power.
Lin Moyu stretched out a large hand and suddenly grasped the violet pearl.
The pearl buzzed violently, lightning flashing on its surface and bringing a stab of pain to Lin Moyu.
"Refine."
Overbearing as ever, Lin Moyu sent his soul power surging into the pearl to forcibly refine it.
A shriek rang out from within the violet pearl.
Lin Moyu let out a cold laugh.
"As expected, there is someone here."
He had already realized earlier that the pearl possessed a spirit, but had not been sure whether it was the pearl's own consciousness or someone sheltering within it.
Now he could be certain: someone was dwelling inside the pearl, controlling it from within.
However, that person was clearly lacking in strength and completely incapable of fully commanding the pearl.
Lin Moyu's soul was comparable to that of a supreme.
Blending reality and illusion, it was incomparably powerful.
With just one wave of impact, he smashed the squatter in the pearl into fragments.
"Spare… spare… me…"
A plea for mercy came from within the pearl, but Lin Moyu ignored it.
His soul power continued to sweep through like a tidal wave.
He did not need to question anything directly.
While his soul was crashing through, he was already extracting ample information from the other's tattered remnant soul.
Soul searching was child's play to Lin Moyu and nothing worth mentioning.
Of course, he could have resurrected the other party and turned him into an undying undead.
But that would require dragging him out of the pearl, which was far too troublesome.
To avoid unnecessary complications, Lin Moyu chose instead to kill him right there inside the pearl.
Wave after wave of soul power washed through.
Every last trace of the other party was erased, and the violet pearl gradually calmed down.
During the sweeping, Lin Moyu had used a soul searching art and obtained some information, learning who this person had been.
"The Nine Heavens True Lord, the strongest in this mother universe…"
Compared to him, the True Lord of Luan Cloud was clearly much weaker.
In addition to the Nine Heavens True Lord, Lin Moyu also learned the name of the violet pearl: the Hongmeng Violet Thunder Pearl.
