Chapter 4806: Turning Passive into Active
There are thousands upon thousands of formations, and the Dao of Formations is as vast and profound as a boundless sea of mist.
There is no thing that a formation cannot accomplish; there is only a formation that has not yet been successfully arranged.
With Lin Moyu's current cultivation in the Dao of Formations, he had long since surpassed the level of an ordinary heaven and earth.
Formations he arranged could give even ordinary peak powerhouses a headache.
Although the opponent was a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, that peak powerhouse had not yet taken action personally.
What came was only the aura from within the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, which could still be handled with formations.
What was happening before his eyes had already appeared in Lin Moyu's deductions, so he naturally also had countermeasures prepared.
A grand formation rapidly took shape, and Lin Moyu took out a leaf from the Hongmeng Spirit Tree to serve as the formation core.
"Formation, activate!"
The formation activated and wove into a net that shrouded the Chaotic Ancient Desolation.
At the center of the formation, the phantom of a great tree appeared, and that tree's appearance was precisely that of the Hongmeng Spirit Tree.
Using a Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf as the formation core drew down the projection of the Hongmeng Spirit Tree, giving this formation a portion of the Hongmeng Spirit Tree's abilities.
The entire Chaotic Ancient Desolation trembled.
The Chaotic Ancient Desolation was not strong enough and could not fully endure this grand formation, nor could it withstand the pressure of the Hongmeng Spirit Tree.
Lin Moyu gave a light snort, and the formations he had laid down during the previous great tribulation activated once more.
That formation spread across the Chaotic Ancient Desolation like a great net, sharing the pressure and bearing the oppressive force on behalf of the Chaotic Ancient Desolation.
The projection of the Hongmeng Spirit Tree stretched out, its branches dancing as it rapidly absorbed the aura flowing in from the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
At this time, Lin Moyu had already arranged another grand formation.
This formation used the power that Little Tree had absorbed as its foundation and transformed it into a waterfall that poured back toward the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
The densely packed rifts in the void were quickly sealed, and the connection between the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth and the Chaotic Ancient Desolation rapidly weakened.
"Sever!"
Lin Moyu let out a low shout, and the very first formation he had arranged activated once more, attempting to sever the link with the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
The Chaotic Ancient Desolation had to destroy a part of itself in order to sever the connection.
However, the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth clearly did not intend to let the Chaotic Ancient Desolation go.
The last remaining traces of aura still clung tightly to the Chaotic Ancient Desolation.
From the pit deep within the Ancient Desolation, a gigantic head stuck out.
The ancestor of the Di Ting beast tried to rush out from the opening.
His power was not much weaker than that of a peak powerhouse.
If he were allowed to enter, the Chaotic Ancient Desolation would be unable to break away in a short period of time, which would invite many variables.
"One Sword to Cleave the Heavens!"
Lin Mohan decisively struck, sword light rending the void and landing on that gigantic head.
A miserable scream rang out as a massive wound was carved across the head, nearly beheading it on the spot.
Yet in the next instant, Hongmeng aura fell into the wound, and it rapidly healed.
By the time the sword light dissipated, the wound had already fully recovered.
"The living beings of a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth truly are extraordinary."
Lin Moyu raised the Calamity Scepter, and an enormous shadow smashed apart the void before heavily striking the opponent's head.
"Ah!"
The impact resounded together with a miserable shriek, and the head was smashed to pieces on the spot.
Aside from when facing that purple clothed man, the Calamity Scepter was invincible wherever it went.
As flesh and blood flew, Lin Moyu shouted in a low voice, "Sis, Hundred Fold Severing of Heaven and Earth!"
Lin Mohan did not hesitate in the slightest.
Sword light erupted.
"I am the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
"Today, I sever a corner of my own heaven and earth.
"Sever!"
Sword light swept out.
As the Lord of Heaven and Earth, Lin Mohan's control over the Chaotic Ancient Desolation far surpassed that of Lin Moyu.
Her act of severing her own heaven and earth was far easier to carry out than if Lin Moyu were to do it.
For the Lord of Heaven and Earth to sever her own heaven and earth could only be done out of absolute trust in Lin Moyu.
The central region spanning billions of li in the deepest part of the Ancient Desolation was forcibly cut off by Lin Mohan.
Heaven and earth roared.
The Chaotic Ancient Desolation suffered a grievous blow, with vast numbers of rules collapsing as if the entire world had fallen into doomsday.
"Nine Heavens Fate Arts!"
Lin Moyu forcibly stabilized the heaven and earth rules.
At the same time, dozens of runes flew out, merging yin and yang into one and transforming into a grand formation.
Within the formation, countless spaces evolved.
The grand formation where the Hongmeng Spirit Tree's projection resided was also pulled over by Lin Moyu and merged into it.
"Banish!"
With a low shout, that severed region of space was swallowed by the formation and rapidly disappeared.
Lin Mohan exhaled a long breath.
"Finally taken care of."
Lin Moyu said, "Only driven off.
"The region severed this time was where he was connected to the Chaotic Ancient Desolation.
"Now that area has been banished by me into the layers upon layers of space.
"Even if he wants to sort it out, he will need time."
"However, he will still ultimately be able to use that region of space to find the Chaotic Ancient Desolation.
"What I did was only to buy a bit more time."
The Chaotic Ancient Desolation had now already been led over by Little Tree to the roots beneath itself and was very close to the Yushen Heaven and Earth.
Under normal circumstances, the other side would no longer be able to pose a threat to the Chaotic Ancient Desolation.
The troublesome part was that his connection with the Chaotic Ancient Desolation had not been fully severed.
Even though Lin Mohan had cut off a part of the heaven and earth, that region still originally belonged to the Chaotic Ancient Desolation, and there would always be a connection between them.
Through that region of heaven and earth, he would be able to reconnect to the space of the Chaotic Ancient Desolation, establish a spatial passage, and directly reach the interior of the Chaotic Ancient Desolation.
Lin Moyu's act of banishing it merely increased the difficulty for him to find his way back, all for the sake of buying himself some time.
Lin Mohan asked, "Then what are we going to do next?"
Lin Moyu said, "Originally, I had already calculated that he would use the Chaotic Ancient Desolation to lure me over.
"I did not want the Chaotic Ancient Desolation to become a sacrificial victim in the great battle between him and me, so I took the Chaotic Ancient Desolation away and even had Sister sever part of the heaven and earth to cut off the connection."
"Now it seems it will not be that easy.
"I saw that the region of space cut away just now still maintains a connection with the Chaotic Ancient Desolation, and this sort of link is very hard to completely sever.
"He can still find his way here.
"So I have to change my approach and turn passive into active."
Lin Mohan said, "Little brother plans to charge into his heaven and earth?"
Lin Moyu said, "Within his own territory, I do not have absolute confidence in victory, but he certainly does not want to let the battlefield be in his own heaven and earth either."
"This great battle will ultimately definitely take place within the Forbidden Zone of Life.
"But before that, there is still one thing I have not finished."
What Lin Moyu still needed was time.
The speed of the other's awakening was slightly faster than he had anticipated, and that slight difference might be enough to decide the victor.
The Game of All Beings had now been refined almost to its final stage.
Lin Moyu already knew that this was an extremely powerful treasure.
If he could completely master it, his chances of victory would rise even further.
Lin Mohan said, "Then what can I do?"
Lin Moyu said, "What you need to do now, Sister, is to continue refining the Chaotic Ancient Desolation.
"The Chaotic Ancient Desolation has already been damaged, and you need to repair it."
"In the future, if there is a chance, you might be able to take another step forward, but that step will also require the Chaotic Ancient Desolation as support."
Lin Mohan agreed straightforwardly.
"Alright, I understand."
Lin Moyu said, "What comes next will be a struggle between him and me.
"Let us see who can laugh in the end."
Outside the sole remaining Hongmeng Heaven and Earth within the Forbidden Zone of Life, a spatial channel suddenly appeared, and one of Lin Moyu's clones flew out from within it.
A grand formation rapidly took shape, turning into a lotus.
The formation firmly blocked the destructive power, and with Lin Moyu's current level in the Dao of Formations, this formation was sufficient to endure under the destructive power for a full day.
Standing upon the lotus, Lin Moyu's clone gazed at the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
"Courtesy demands reciprocity."
The other side had used a clone to deal with the Yushen Heaven and Earth, and Lin Moyu likewise came with a clone in return, tooth for tooth.
Lin Moyu's arrival shattered the tranquility of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
The power of heaven and earth surged, and a purple clothed man flew out from within the world.
The purple clothed man before him was identical to the purple clothed man who had previously attacked the Yushen Heaven and Earth; both were clones of the peak powerhouse of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
Lin Moyu said calmly, "You and I are destined to have a battle, and in this battle, only one person can live.
"I do not know how to address you.
"Lin does not wish to kill someone without name or surname."
