Chapter 4809: You Can't Calculate It
Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's gaze was calm and without ripples, and his voice was the same.
"You would not understand."
Lin Moyu said, "It seems one can only understand after reaching that place.
"Indeed, I will be going there."
Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign slowly shook his head.
"You will not be able to go."
Lin Moyu laughed.
"Since Lin began cultivating, there has never been a place he wished to go but could not reach.
"Lin was able to raise a heaven and earth to Nine Cycles in such a short time and have it possess the qualifications to advance to a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, which should make Lin somewhat stronger than Purple-Gold senior was back then, no?"
A ripple finally appeared in Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's gaze, and Lin Moyu knew his words had landed; he was indeed stronger than that sovereign had been in his own year.
In the next instant, Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's gaze returned to calm.
"My Heaven and Earth is not the same as yours."
Lin Moyu smiled.
"I understand.
"My Heaven and Earth was born from the embers left behind by many destroyed heavens and earths, gathering the fortune of many worlds into one body, and thus its development was extremely fast.
"If this guess is correct, your Heaven and Earth was originally just an ordinary Seven Cycle Heaven and Earth which you then raised step by step."
Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign said, "Not only that.
"If not for me helping you, your Heaven and Earth could not have been raised."
Lin Moyu laughed.
"You mean the Hongmeng Spirit Tree, correct?
"You deliberately left behind the remnant portion of the Hongmeng Spirit Tree for me so that I could nurture it, laying a foundation for my Heaven and Earth to advance to Hongmeng.
"But it is a pity you calculated countless things, yet miscalculated one point."
Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign said, "The future of fate possesses countless possibilities, its uncertainty difficult to fathom."
Although he did not directly admit it, he still confirmed that what Lin Moyu said was true: in all those calculations there was indeed one thing that was off.
He had correctly calculated the emergence of Yushen Heaven and Earth, a heaven and earth born within the embers of many worlds, carrying the fortune of all those worlds and serving as the sole thread of life in this round of Great Annihilation.
The possibility that Yushen Heaven and Earth would advance to a Nine Cycle Heaven and Earth was extremely high, and it would have the chance to open a path toward becoming a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth.
Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign had even tampered in this matter, granting opportunities and expanding this possibility.
Yet he had never counted on Lin Moyu's cultivation speed being so fast.
He knew that a peak powerhouse would certainly appear, but he had not expected that this peak powerhouse would be absurdly strong, strong enough to enter the Forbidden Zone of Life and battle his clones.
Otherwise, when Yushen Heaven and Earth advanced to Nine Cycles, his clone would already have taken it.
Lin Moyu smiled.
"Since you did not answer directly, I will take it as your tacit admission.
"In truth, aside from failing to account for me, you also failed to account for how quickly this Heaven and Earth would advance."
"You should know that I have been to your Hongmeng Heaven and Earth and seen it with my own eyes, and I also know that even without me you would have awakened after a time."
"You must have calculated the time at which Yushen Heaven and Earth would advance, planning to have your clone take it first, and then your true body would come to refine and replace it."
"So you failed to predict that point as well.
"Two miscalculations in all you truly disappoint in the Dao of Fate."
Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's gaze flickered again, and what Lin Moyu said was not wrong; aside from miscalculating Lin himself, he had also miscalculated Yushen Heaven and Earth.
From the start of its evolution to its successful advancement, the process of a Heaven and Earth had to be measured in hundreds of millions of years.
Even the final Heaven and Earth born from the embers should not have grown this quickly.
He had misjudged Lin Moyu and misjudged the time needed for the Heaven and Earth to grow, and that was what had caused him to fall into passivity.
Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's ten fingers trembled slightly as the power of fate gathered at his fingertips.
Lin Moyu could clearly sense the changes in the rules; even within the Forbidden Zone of Life, the rules of fate still existed.
At the same time, a phantom image of a Heaven and Earth appeared behind Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign; he was deducing fate with an entire Hongmeng Heaven and Earth as his backing, providing power for his calculations.
Lin Moyu said, "There is no need to keep calculating.
"Your Hongmeng Heaven and Earth does not belong to this era, and its power does not fit with this world, so it is impossible for you to calculate accurately."
The light at Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's fingertips dispersed.
He looked at Lin Moyu.
"Your fate cannot be deduced.
"You are someone outside of fate."
Lin Moyu said, "Perhaps.
"That is something even I cannot answer for you.
"The prison is already formed; you should be making your move now, no?"
Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign's voice gradually turned cold as killing intent rose.
"Yes.
"It is time to send you off."
He raised his hand and lightly pointed toward the void.
"Purple Gold God Slaying Lightning!"
Boom!
Countless bolts of Purple Gold God Slaying Lightning fell.
The lotus grand formation at Lin Moyu's feet bloomed, and the petals turned into shields that blocked the divine lightning.
The Purple Gold God Slaying Lightning was immensely powerful, and Lin Moyu's grand formation could not withstand even a breath before collapsing on the spot.
This was within Lin Moyu's expectations.
After all, the enemy was the peak powerhouse of a Hongmeng Heaven and Earth, whose strength should far surpass that of his clones.
Even his clones could easily shatter the lotus formation, so what of the sovereign himself?
"Extreme Immortality!"
His aura surged furiously, climbing instantly to its peak.
The Purple Gold God Slaying Lightning fell upon his body, but Lin Moyu seemed to feel nothing as he swung the Staff of Catastrophe in a sweeping strike.
Purple-Gold Divine Sovereign showed not the slightest fear of the Staff of Catastrophe.
A purple gold longsword appeared in his hand, growing to immense size and sweeping out in a strike as well.
Boom!
With an earth shattering roar, the purple gold longsword was sent flying back, its blade covered in countless cracks.
The Staff of Catastrophe was also blasted away, and the Hongmeng Gem cried out loudly, "What terrifying power!"
Although it cried out so, the Staff of Catastrophe remained completely unscathed.
Purple-Gold Divine Sovereign's gaze tightened slightly, as if unable to believe what he was seeing.
"A Hongmeng Supreme Treasure!"
"Is the Staff of Catastrophe a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure?"
Lin Moyu's heart stirred when he heard this.
He had never known what tier of treasure the Staff of Catastrophe belonged to; from his own feeling, the Staff of Catastrophe seemed to be of an even higher level than the Game of All Beings.
Yet the Game of All Beings was a genuine Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, so he had not known what level the Staff of Catastrophe truly was.
But since Purple-Gold Divine Sovereign judged it so, he might as well accept that for now.
He once more swung the Staff of Catastrophe, smashing down to cover the sky and earth.
Purple-Gold Divine Sovereign raised both hands at once.
"God Lightning Annihilates the World!"
Innumerable bolts of purple gold divine lightning erupted from his hands, blasting into the Staff of Catastrophe and sending it flying again.
The excess divine lightning then struck at Lin Moyu; wherever the lightning passed, the void shattered and even the power of destruction was wiped away.
Lin Moyu held the Staff of Catastrophe horizontally in front of him.
Several divine sigils flew out and wove into a formation, turning the staff into the formation's eye.
The formation activated and turned into a mighty shield that blocked the divine lightning, and then a sea of divine sigils poured forth.
In an instant countless grand formations took shape, each one unleashing a terrifying attack that engulfed Purple-Gold Divine Sovereign.
The void shone brilliantly as the attacks of the formations took on all kinds of forms, a spectacular sight.
Lin Moyu knew very well that, although his formation attacks looked spectacular, in truth they were not all that useful.
What was truly effective lay behind them; these formations were primarily meant to deceive the eye.
Even more runes flew out, and over a greater area they wove together into a single grand formation.
"God Lightning Annihilates the World!"
Once again, countless bolts of Purple Gold God Slaying Lightning blasted forth, sweeping away the sea of formations Lin Moyu had just arranged.
Baptized in the divine lightning, Purple-Gold Divine Sovereign was left unharmed; the attacks of these formations could only dazzle his vision and could not harm him in the slightest.
However, the next layer of formations had already taken shape, and the true attack had finally arrived.
With a single thought, the Staff of Catastrophe flew out again to serve as the formation's core.
"Spirit Execution Formation, arise!"
Lin Moyu shouted, and a terrifying grand formation instantly appeared in the void.
The elemental gem, soul gem, and domain gem on the Staff of Catastrophe all flashed with light at the same time.
The boundless power of destruction in the Forbidden Zone of Life was drawn over, strengthened by the formation, then governed by the elemental gem, becoming even more powerful as it was turned from formless into form, transforming into arrows that shot toward Purple-Gold Emperor Sovereign.
