Chapter 4808: Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign
The only purpose of trying every possible method to delay was to win time for himself to refine the Game of All Beings.
After all, the opponent was a peak powerhouse of a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, an existence capable of surviving a Great Annihilation, whose clone alone could cross the Forbidden Zone of Life.
Just how strong such an existence truly was, Lin Moyu's heart held no certainty.
Precisely because of this, he concealed all kinds of trump cards; if they truly fought, even with those cards he only had about a thirty percent chance.
Yet even with various trump cards, Lin Moyu still did not have too much confidence.
The Game of All Beings gave him a feeling that if he could refine and master it, his chances would be a bit higher.
Lin Moyu had always trusted his own intuition, and so he did all of this.
The Hongmeng Heaven and Earth should have shifted its position or used some way to hide itself; Little Tree searched for a long time but still could not find it.
Lin Moyu no longer concerned himself with it and simply had Little Tree watch the void outside the Yushen Heaven and Earth, while his own clone watched the Primordial Desolate Chaos.
Everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged, and all that was left was to wait for the final battle.
Several decades later, another game inside the Game of All Beings came to an end.
The originally scattered Game of All Beings suddenly bloomed with rosy light and automatically shrank down into a small square box that fell into Lin Moyu's palm, while at the same time a stream of information poured into his soul.
The square box then drilled into his soul and was supported on its palm.
It slowly turned, emitting an aura similar to that of a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
"At last, it has been refined."
"Never thought it would turn out to be this kind of treasure."
Once he had completely refined the Game of All Beings, Lin Moyu finally knew the origin of this object.
The Game of All Beings came from a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, and it belonged to the category of Hongmeng Supreme Treasures.
The Forbidden Zone of Life had already experienced an unknown number of rounds of Great Annihilation, and Hongmeng Heaven and Earths had also been born more than once.
A Hongmeng Heaven and Earth could endure a Great Annihilation, but it would also be damaged during each one; after enough times, it too would collapse.
This Game of All Beings came from a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth named "All Beings."
After the peak powerhouse of that Hongmeng Heaven and Earth realized that the collapse of his world was irreversible, he still refined and fused the treasures he had obtained from the Forbidden Zone of Life with his heaven and earth, then poured all of his own power into it, finally forging this Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.
He sent the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure into time and space, letting it drift through disordered time space until it encountered someone fated.
As a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, its refinement method was naturally rather special and not the usual method of refining with soul power; instead, it required constantly playing games and winning again and again, with each victory equivalent to refining a fraction of it.
When enough victories had been accumulated, refinement would be complete.
The Game of All Beings could re enact a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, establishing its own rules and being capable of trapping enemies, killing enemies, and protecting its master; it was essentially an all purpose treasure.
Most importantly, that peak powerhouse had left within it a method for advancing to a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
That method was largely the same as what Lin Moyu had envisioned: one had to step into the Forbidden Zone of Life and obtain that thing.
However, according to that powerhouse, after advancing to a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth there was still one more step to be taken, but that step was too difficult, and he had failed to complete it.
If he had succeeded, that Hongmeng Heaven and Earth would never have collapsed.
"If this guess is not wrong, that final step should be related to the Wall of Heaven and Earth; the Wall of Heaven and Earth is the true end point."
After analyzing everything before and after, Lin Moyu was even more certain of his conjecture.
Little Tree suddenly sent a voice transmission, "Master, someone is coming!"
Little Tree was watching the billion mile wide void outside the Yushen Heaven and Earth and could immediately sense if anyone approached.
"So they finally came."
With a flicker of thought, the clone that Lin Moyu had left in the Primordial Desolate Chaos also sent back information; there was also movement over on that side.
In the Primordial Desolate Chaos, the section of void that had been cut out appeared again, filled with living beings, the weakest of whom were Great Venerables, with several dozen existences surpassing the Great Venerable realm.
"Such a grand display since you are here, then let us give you a proper welcome."
"Little Tree, make your move and keep the enemy outside!"
The Primordial Desolate Chaos was now attached to Little Tree's roots; this was Little Tree's territory and did not allow others to run amok.
If the peak powerhouse of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth came in person, Little Tree would not be able to handle him, but as for the others…
Countless branches turned into whips and lashed out, each branch carrying the remnants of heaven and earth, and when swung, they were like entire heavens and earths smashing down.
That patch of void was shattered and then transformed into an independent space, while on the other side there were also existences adept at manipulating space who forcibly linked that space to the Primordial Desolate Chaos.
Several purple clothed figures stepped out from within.
They were the clones of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth's peak powerhouse and possessed the ability to move within the Forbidden Zone of Life.
Endless purple qi surged from their bodies, covering everyone and forcing back the power of destruction.
Little Tree would not allow them to draw near and swung the fragments of heaven and earth hard at them.
Lin Moyu paid no attention to the battle here, leaving it to Little Tree with full confidence.
Even if Little Tree failed to hold them off, there was still Lin Mohan.
Lin Mohan was a peak powerhouse and not to be trifled with.
She could not defeat the peak powerhouse of the Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, but dealing with these fellows was not beyond her.
The Primordial Desolate Chaos was her own heaven and earth and thus her home field, so Lin Mohan was not afraid at all; even if she could not win, she could still fight to the death and drag down a bunch with her.
"Come out and fight!"
A voice full of pressure rang into the Yushen Heaven and Earth, rumbling in its skies.
Lin Moyu flew out of the Yushen Heaven and Earth as the power of destruction surged toward him, making his flesh feel a tingling numbness.
Many wounds appeared on his skin, but they were healed as soon as they appeared, and the power of destruction could only inflict superficial injuries on him.
Several runes flew from his fingertips and transformed into a lotus grand formation.
Under the formation's shroud all destructive power was repelled.
Lin Moyu stepped upon the lotus formation and flew toward the depths of the void; this battle would be far away from the Yushen Heaven and Earth.
He understood what the other party wanted.
If the Yushen Heaven and Earth were destroyed, the opponent's plan would immediately fail.
Thus the other party had also chosen to set the battlefield at a place distant from the Yushen Heaven and Earth, which was within his expectations.
In the pitch black Forbidden Zone of Life, a tiny speck of light flickered into view, and at a distance Lin Moyu clearly saw a mass of purple clouds.
Above the cloud sat a middle aged man in a purple gold robe whose gaze was cold as he watched Lin Moyu.
At last he could clearly see the man's appearance, unlike the earlier purple clothed ones where only a mass of purple qi could be seen.
From his looks, the other party seemed to be of the human race, but that no longer mattered; at this stage, race was irrelevant.
Between them, only one could live.
Lin Moyu said, "Do I now have the qualification to know Your Excellency's name?"
His voice neither happy nor sad, the man replied, "I am the supreme Emperor Sovereign of the Hongmeng, Dao title Purple Gold."
Lin Moyu smiled slightly.
"So it is the Purple Gold Emperor Sovereign.
"I do not have any particular title, but you may remember this: the one who kills you is called Lin Moyu."
The Purple Gold Emperor Sovereign's expression did not change.
"The one who dies this time is you."
It was as if his emotions had long ago been worn away during countless years of slumber; Lin Moyu could not sense any of the seven emotions and six desires from him.
This fellow seemed already to have departed from the category of living beings.
Lin Moyu said, "Who lives and who dies will be clear after the fight, but I am curious how many rounds of Great Annihilation have you survived?
"Can you tell me?"
The Purple Gold Emperor Sovereign's voice was flat.
"The third round."
As he spoke, the purple qi gradually dispersed and hid itself in the void.
Lin Moyu knew that he had already begun to make his move; the purple qi seemed to scatter, yet in reality it was forming an encirclement on a greater scale, turning into a prison to prevent Lin Moyu's escape.
Lin Moyu had never intended to flee in the first place; the prison would work both ways, able to imprison him as well as the Emperor Sovereign.
That was fine as well.
This time he would resolve this threat so that he could proceed with what followed.
Lin Moyu said, "In this Great Annihilation your Hongmeng Heaven and Earth probably will not be able to hold out, which is why you have set your sights on me.
"But how can you be sure that there will definitely appear a heaven and earth that meets the requirements for advancement?"
