Chapter 4791: Courting Death Again
The Hongmeng Spirit Tree swayed gently, and a chubby, adorably cute little fatty manifested, bowing respectfully to Lin Moyu.
"Little Tree pays respects to master."
Delight flickered across Lin Moyu's face. "You can finally take on a form again."
Little Tree glanced back at the Hongmeng Spirit Tree behind him.
"There is still a bit to go before I truly fully manifest.
"For now, I can only project a phantom body to serve at master's side."
With a wave of his small hand, branches extended, piercing the void.
When they retracted, they brought back two balls of light these were Chaos Child and Little Peng.
Little Tree said, "These two fellows are about to finish gestating, but I plan to slow them down and further strengthen their foundations, so their future achievements can be greater."
Lin Moyu smiled. "I leave this matter to you. Now, come with me."
Lin Moyu brought Little Tree to where the Living Beings Chessboard was.
Soul power surged as he activated the board.
"I am short on time right now. Try and see if you can alter the flow of time within the Living Beings Chessboard."
Little Tree said, "Back when master used this board before, I already sensed that within it there is a set of self contained rules, and they are extremely powerful much stronger than those of a Nine Cycle universe.
"Little Tree can only try and does not dare to guarantee success."
Lin Moyu said, "All right, give it a try."
Little Tree lifted his chubby little hand and lightly tapped.
A branch crossed the sky and drilled into the chessboard.
Little Tree slowly closed his eyes as the power of time flowed.
Lin Moyu vaguely felt the surrounding time flow changing, but the key was whether the flow of time inside the chessboard itself could be altered.
Little Tree had always wielded the power of time and space.
In the past, his use of it was mainly for travel, relatively single purposed.
After evolving into the Hongmeng Spirit Tree and gradually growing, his power over time and space became increasingly strong and comprehensive.
Now, changing the flow of time was no difficult task for Little Tree.
The difficulty lay in the rules within the Living Beings Chessboard whether Little Tree could offset their influence.
A moment later, Little Tree slowly opened his eyes.
The branch still did not retract and remained inside the chessboard.
"Master, the rules inside are too powerful.
"I can only make the time flow run about twice as fast.
"It cannot go any faster."
Twice meaning that he had gained more than five hundred years of time out of thin air.
Lin Moyu said, "Over five hundred years should be enough.
"If it still is not, then it can only mean the opportunity has not yet arrived. Thank you, Little Tree."
Little Tree hurriedly said, "Master, please do not be polite.
"To serve master is Little Tree's honor."
Little Tree had always been good at flattery, and even after becoming the Hongmeng Spirit Tree, nothing had changed.
Lin Moyu took a deep breath and turned, stepping into the chessboard.
In his simulations, to find the Void of the Flesh, he had to step into the depths of life and death.
Rebirth was, at present, the only known path.
Yet how to maintain unextinguished consciousness in rebirth this was the most difficult part.
He would draw in the annihilation power of the Forbidden Zone of Life to destroy his body and soul, triggering rebirth, and at the same time he had to ensure his consciousness did not perish, allowing him to observe the entire process.
Only in this way would there be a chance of discovering the Void of the Flesh.
A Nine Cycle universe could barely withstand annihilation power, and now the Language God Universe already possessed such qualifications.
What remained was how to keep his consciousness from being extinguished.
Lin Moyu set his method on his own formation dao.
He would use formations to keep his consciousness alive.
At present, his formation dao had already achieved some measure of success.
Under the assault of annihilation power from the Forbidden Zone of Life, he could maintain his consciousness for ten seconds.
But if this was to be used for comprehending the Void of the Flesh, it was still far from enough.
The Void of the Flesh required longer observation; ten seconds, a hundred seconds, even a thousand seconds might not suffice.
Ideally, he would observe from beginning to end.
If he could manage that, then with formation dao alone, he could cross the Forbidden Zone of Life, which would also count as one of his trump cards.
Since he possessed a unique talent for formation dao, he had to push it to the extreme and not let it go to waste.
Lin Moyu entered the chessboard and continued comprehending formation dao, deepening his understanding of runes and formations.
The number of runes he controlled gradually decreased, yet their power increased.
After a hundred years, the runes he controlled shrank from ten to eight.
Another hundred years passed, and the runes decreased from eight to six.
The further he progressed, the more difficult comprehension became.
Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Moyu once again left the Living Beings Chessboard.
Coincidentally, the Wall of Heaven and Earth revealed itself again, bringing the final countdown to the Language God Universe.
"Only one hundred years remain."
Lin Moyu looked at the Wall of Heaven and Earth, feeling the immense power it emitted.
If he was in the Living Beings Chessboard, he still had three hundred years of usable time, but in reality there was only a hundred years left before the first great tribulation.
Purple light flickered in his hand as three runes turned in his palm.
"Still a bit short."
He had reduced the runes to three, yet no matter what he did, they could not be reduced any further.
He could clearly see the endpoint of the formation dao.
The end lay right before his eyes, but he could not take that final step.
After many years of trying without success, Lin Moyu understood that the time had not yet come and no longer forced the issue.
"Though it is a bit short, three runes forming a formation are hundreds of times stronger than the ten runes from before.
"Perhaps this is enough to help me find the Void of the Flesh.
"There is still a hundred years left; that should be enough.
"If it is still not enough, then I will just have to first achieve the Dao."
The possible outcomes were already clear in Lin Moyu's mind whether it worked out or not.
The Living Beings Chessboard, which had been operating for several hundred years, slowly withdrew.
The Hongmeng Purple Flame appeared in his palm.
The Hongmeng Gem materialized at his side.
"Is master about to start courting death again?"
Lin Moyu said, "With a hundred years left, it must be tried at least once."
The Hongmeng Gem immediately laid on the flattery.
"Master will definitely succeed."
"Let us hope so."
In his left palm, the Hongmeng Purple Flame slowly rose, thunder rumbling within.
The Hongmeng Purple Flame suddenly erupted with terrifying thunder.
The purple fire divine thunder blasted into the void, forcibly tearing open a rift.
Lin Moyu controlled the Language God Universe.
He dispersed the rules and did not repair this rift, even pushing the power of the universe far from it, preventing any interference with the entry of annihilation power from the Forbidden Zone of Life.
The annihilation power surged in through the rift.
The Hongmeng Purple Flame evolved into divine thunder, becoming a passage that drew in the annihilation power.
The annihilation power, following the thunder, fell onto Lin Moyu's body and detonated with a roar, turning the surrounding void into a dead land.
