Chapter 4807: Delaying
The soul mote had once flown across the entire Hongmeng Heaven and Earth and had seen through the endless mysteries within it, yet from beginning to end it had never known the name of the master of this Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
Ordinary people did not know, the Great Venerables did not know; his name, like the secret of heaven and earth itself, could not be easily known.
Lin Moyu believed that those who had surpassed the level of Great Venerable were clear about it, but they all maintained the Heaven Supporting Grand Formation and spoke not a word.
"You are not qualified to know the divine name of this Honored One."
The purple clothed man looked at Lin Moyu, natural arrogance in his words, and did not put Lin Moyu in his eyes in the slightest.
Yet this was still a clone of a peak powerhouse and one who could safely survive within the Forbidden Zone of Life, a being of such level still not being taken seriously.
Lin Moyu suddenly realized that the information between the opponent's clones did not intercommunicate.
He had previously repelled another clone of this man, yet it was clear that the clone before him knew nothing of that matter, otherwise his attitude toward Lin Moyu would not be as it was now.
"Cutting off the link between the clones so that information is not shared
"Is that to prevent a clone from developing a different heart?"
Normally, clones could not give rise to a different will, for the life and death of a clone were all within a single thought of the main body.
However, in history there had indeed been cases where a clone betrayed the main body.
The clone would undergo an abnormal change, awakening another consciousness, and then in turn seize the main body's consciousness and replace it.
From the perspective of rules, the stronger one's strength, the higher the possibility that a clone could mutate.
This was a restriction at the level of rules.
A strong person could have countless clones, and where there was benefit, there would naturally also be drawbacks.
Thus the other party had cut off the intercommunication of information between clones precisely to guard against this.
At the same time, Lin Moyu also understood something else.
The other party had not, like himself, achieved the unity of spirit and flesh.
More than that, he had not even achieved the unity of the soul's illusory and solid aspects.
If the unity of the soul's illusory and solid aspects had been achieved, these drawbacks of clones would already have been mostly erased.
Going a step further and achieving unity of spirit and flesh, the drawback of clones would then be completely resolved.
Just like his own clones, they could never generate another layer of consciousness, and he himself had no need to take such precautions.
"Without having comprehended the unity of the soul's illusory and solid aspects, and even further from unity of spirit and flesh, how did he cross the Forbidden Zone of Life?
"That is quite interesting."
"Perhaps his true body can tell me the answer, but for now he must not be allowed to come out so quickly."
The purple clothed man had no idea that with just a single sentence, Lin Moyu had seen through several issues.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Whether I am qualified or not, we shall see."
He lightly tapped with a finger, and large numbers of runes shot out, fusing into formations.
The purple clothed man reacted extremely quickly, and the moment Lin Moyu made a move, he also acted.
In the void, endless palm imprints appeared and came crashing down like a torrential rain.
Lin Moyu had already seen this move before.
It was exactly the same as the one used by the purple clothed man who had attacked the Yushen Heaven and Earth, and the power was likewise comparable.
Obviously they were fighting outside the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, yet the purple clothed man did not mobilize the power of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, clearly indicating that this clone did not hold that authority.
The lotus beneath his feet bloomed.
Countless petals appeared and turned into shields that blocked all the palm imprints.
Under the collision, shockwaves surged out and countless ripples arose upon the barrier of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, making the world faintly distort.
The purple clothed man was clearly somewhat surprised, having not expected that Lin Moyu's grand formation would be so fierce.
The runes that had previously flown out formed grand formations in the void one after another.
The formations evolved divine weapons which came smashing down upon the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth like the Milky Way of the Ninth Heaven pouring down.
The barrier of the heaven and earth suffered heavy blows, and the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth buzzed loudly as countless currents of heaven and earth power spontaneously moved to protect the world.
This was exactly what Lin Moyu wanted: to consume the power of the heaven and earth and thereby delay the other party's revival.
"Courting death!"
The purple clothed man clearly saw through Lin Moyu's intent and attacked again.
His body suddenly turned into a purple mist that scattered, then simultaneously appeared in front of each grand formation, launching countless strikes that smashed at all the formations.
The formations were destroyed one after another, but Lin Moyu just laughed lightly.
"Let us see whether you destroy them faster than I set them up."
Runes ceaselessly flew from his fingertips, forming grand formations in the void.
Virtually every second, over a thousand formations took shape.
Once a formation was fully formed, it would absorb the destructive power of the Forbidden Zone of Life and bombard the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
Every formation was like a peak powerhouse unleashing a fierce assault upon the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
The purple clothed man, turned into mist, struck at the formations in an attempt to annihilate them.
Yet no matter how fast he moved, he could not surpass Lin Moyu's speed in setting up formations.
The Hongmeng Heaven and Earth was continuously bombarded, and the power of heaven and earth was constantly being expended.
Lin Moyu knew that he could not inflict substantive damage to the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, but what he was doing now was already enough.
The Hongmeng Heaven and Earth shook without end, and another shaft of purple light rose.
Another purple clothed man arrived.
It was still a clone of that same peak powerhouse.
The moment this purple clothed man left the heaven and earth, he stepped out in great strides and instantly appeared in front of Lin Moyu, striking at Lin Moyu's head with his palm.
The lotus bloomed, and the petals became shields.
Bang!
The shields shattered, and the lotus formation was immediately smashed to pieces, sending Lin Moyu staggering back.
He was not injured, but looked extremely battered.
"He has become stronger."
The purple clothed man who had come this time was stronger than the previous two, and he was actually able to shatter Lin Moyu's formation with a single palm.
The purple clothed man gave Lin Moyu no chance to re form his grand formation.
He again moved as if teleporting, arriving in front of Lin Moyu and raising his palm to annihilate him.
…asking for flowers…
Runes leaped at Lin Moyu's fingertips, two runes merging into one, illusory and real as one.
Lin Moyu instantly disappeared, and the next moment appeared within another grand formation.
Every formation he had released possessed the power of teleportation, allowing him to reach it in an instant.
The moment Lin Moyu appeared, a vast sea of runes shot out from his fingertips and formed even more formations farther away.
The purple clothed man followed close behind and again shattered the formation, but he was still a step too late.
A new formation had already taken shape, and Lin Moyu teleported away, reappearing within another formation far off.
The purple clothed man pursued relentlessly, his power immense.
Lin Moyu did not contend with him head on, instead teleporting away each time.
The distances were sometimes near and sometimes far, completely without pattern.
Whenever Lin Moyu had the opportunity, he would arrange another formation, spreading them to all sides of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
Lin Moyu moved with great speed, and not only did the number of formations surrounding the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth not decrease, they gradually increased.
The power of heaven and earth within the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth was being consumed more and more intensely, causing the entire world to tremble.
Lin Moyu knew that the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth was actually always on the verge of collapse and could not withstand such consumption.
As long as he continued, he would surely be able to hold the other party back.
Boom!
Suddenly, limitless lightning rose from within the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
The lightning swept through the void, Lin Moyu's eyes lit up before his sight was drowned in lightning.
Lin Moyu's main body trembled slightly.
"The clone is dead."
The Hongmeng Heaven and Earth had suddenly erupted with boundless lightning, which not only destroyed all the formations but also slew the clone.
Immediately after, however, a smile surfaced at the corner of Lin Moyu's mouth.
"The Nineteen Storey Pagoda now has only eighteen storeys left."
Before dying, the clone had seen inside the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
The Nineteen Storey Pagoda had collapsed by one more level and only eighteen levels remained.
That attack just now had drawn upon the power of the heaven and earth core.
The power of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth had been consumed in great quantities, and the revival process of that peak powerhouse had slowed once more.
"Time to go take another look."
With a thought, Lin Moyu split off another clone to go and see.
But this time, he discovered that he could not get over there.
The coordinates that Little Tree had left within the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth had been cleared.
The Hongmeng Heaven and Earth had just used up one level of the pagoda as the price to clear both the inside and outside of the world.
If he wanted to go over again, he would have to fly there himself, which would take a very long time.
"Little Tree, you already know roughly where the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth is.
"Go and search for a suitable location nearby to set up a spatial passage."
Little Tree followed Lin Moyu's instructions, but the boundless void was not easy to search through.
Lin Moyu continued to comprehend the Game of All Beings; he was just a final step away.
