Chapter 2020

There were also ball-like vines and ugly flowers resembling man-eating blossoms.

All kinds of plants densely covered the starry sky.

This was the army of the Qingling World, numbering in the millions, with the weakest being Half-step Supremes.

Among them, the number of Supremes exceeded one hundred thousand, and there were three Heavenly Venerables.

A willow tree of unknown height had branches hanging down that could shatter a galaxy with a single lash.

A coiled mass of vines was larger than a star, with countless vines slowly waving in the void like whips.

There was no need to doubt its power; even a Peak Supreme would not be able to withstand a single blow from it.

However, what made Lin Moyu feel the greatest threat was a small blade of grass located in the center.

The grass was about ten thousand meters tall, appearing very inconspicuous between the willow tree and the vines.

Yet, this grass gave Lin Moyu a sense of danger. It exuded a sharp sword qi, as if it could slash and destroy everything.

Lin Moyu had only ever seen sword qi of this caliber on his elder sister.

Lin Moyu stopped in front of the Qingling World army, his gaze sweeping past them to look behind. "Heavenly Venerable Qingling, come out and meet me!"

His voice echoed throughout the void.

Heavenly Venerable Qingling was clearly startled. Taking a step forward, he already stood before his army. "How did you know it was me? Who sent you? Does your world still have Heavenly Venerables?"

As he appeared, countless plants bowed low, showing respect and submission to their master.

Lin Moyu did not answer him but instead said, "Heavenly Venerable Qingling, do you plan to personally enter the field in this world dispute?"

Heavenly Venerable Qingling was stunned, puzzled by Lin Moyu's attitude.

Other Supremes, when facing a Heavenly Venerable, would at least maintain a proper level of awe.

Yet Lin Moyu showed no awe whatsoever. Heavenly Venerable Qingling even had an illusion that Lin Moyu was looking down on him.

This feeling was very strange, but Heavenly Venerables had their own spiritual senses, and his spiritual sense told him that this was indeed the case.

Heavenly Venerable Qingling felt a slight anger rise within him. "Do you know that you are merely a Supreme? For this Venerable to kill you is easier than crushing an ant…"

"…is even easier."

Lin Moyu sighed. "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. If you want to enter the field, then go ahead. Your life and death will be on your own head!"

As his voice fell, he casually snapped his fingers.

The Undying Flame flew out, and the great void exploded, turning into a sea of fire.

Heavenly Venerable Qingling's expression changed drastically. "Impossible!"

Chapter 2419: The Water in a Sixth-Order World Is Too Deep!

Waves of Heavenly Venerable Realm aura emanated from the sea of fire, causing the entire Qingling World to tremble.

A total of two hundred skeleton thrones appeared within the sea of fire. The Skeleton King slowly stood up, and the skeleton thrones transformed into bone swords, falling into the hands of the Skeleton Kings.

Two hundred Skeleton Kings, two hundred low-rank Heavenly Venerables.

The Skeleton Kings boosted each other, neutralizing a portion of the suppression from the Qingling World.

The suppression of the Qingling World was not as strong as Lin Moyu had imagined, perhaps partly because the Skeleton Kings had integrated the seventh-order origin.

Their combat power was still terrifying, at least surpassing a Peak Supreme.

A Heavenly Venerable was still a Heavenly Venerable; no matter how suppressed, they were still Heavenly Venerables.

Heavenly Venerable Qingling's face turned incredibly grim, filled with disbelief. "How can there be so many Heavenly Venerable Realm puppets?!"

"Could a Sixth-Order World really be strong to this extent?"

"No wonder, no wonder the Demon Tiger World failed!"

Facing two hundred low-rank Heavenly Venerable Realm Skeleton Kings, how could he even fight?

A starved dragon is still larger than a horse; he began to regret ever coming here.

Despair grew in his heart, but suddenly a thought arose, "If I personally enter the field, perhaps there is still a turning point."

Just as this thought emerged, a cultivator suddenly appeared beside Lin Moyu.

Ke Jun appeared silently. He stood beside Lin Moyu, staring expressionlessly at Heavenly Venerable Qingling. Ke Jun's body similarly exuded the aura of a mid-rank Heavenly Venerable, and his strength was not much inferior to Heavenly Venerable Qingling's. Perhaps in a one-on-one fight, Heavenly Venerable Qingling would not fear him.

But how was this a one-on-one fight? There were still two hundred Skeleton Kings watching like tigers eyeing their prey.

Lin Moyu said, "I will say it once more. Whether you want to enter the field is for you to decide!"

After speaking, Lin Moyu pointed toward the Qingling World army. An illusory, hazy aura appeared, and a Bone Hell instantly manifested in the void.

Within the Qingling World, the Bone Hell was also suppressed, with its range restricted to only 0.1 light-years.

Compared to the ten light-years in the Great World, it was countless times smaller.

But 0.1 light-years was completely sufficient here.

As soon as the Bone Hell appeared, it swallowed the entire Qingling World army.

Hell Fierce Spirits pounced out, and the hellfire boiled like a volcanic eruption. Ten fireballs in the sky rained down endless flames.

The Other Shore Flowers bloomed, their blue light intertwining with the flames to form a bizarre coloration.

The Eyes of the Undead opened simultaneously, gazing upon the Bone Hell.

Waves of soul shocks surged one after another, and for a time, miserable shrieks echoed continuously.

The Qingling World army immediately began to resist, but their resistance appeared exceptionally weak.

Only the three Heavenly Venerables continuously lashed out at the Bone Hell, causing it to shake incessantly.

Among them, the ten-thousand-meter blade of grass erupted with earth-shattering sword qi, almost slicing the Bone Hell in half.

The Hell Fierce Spirits swept by the sword qi were shaken back one after another.

The Bone Hell was extremely sturdy, blocking the Heavenly Venerables' attacks in the short term.

The Skeleton Kings rushed out one after another. Possessing the Power of Time and Space, their speed was astonishingly fast, charging into the Qingling World army as if teleporting.

The Skeleton Kings targeted the three Qingling World Heavenly Venerables. With two hundred against three, this was no longer a group fight; it was a complete massacre.

Willow branches and vines snapped one after another under the Skeleton Kings' swords.

The sword qi of the ten-thousand-meter blade of grass was suppressed, and it could only barely protect itself.

Lin Moyu could see that these plant-type creatures did not possess much intelligence.

This was likely related to Heavenly Venerable Qingling. Heavenly Venerable Qingling did not like the creatures in his world to have too much intelligence.

This made them easier to control, but their combat power would also be correspondingly weakened.

At this moment, Heavenly Venerable Qingling's face was extremely grim. He could see that his plant army could not withstand Lin Moyu's offensive at all.

Defeat was only a matter of time. Unless he personally took action, only then might it be possible to turn the tide.

But could he take action?

Looking at Ke Jun beside Lin Moyu, he could feel that the other had firmly locked onto him.

The moment he made a move, the opponent would also strike.

Although he did not fear the opponent, if those Heavenly Venerable Realm puppets were added to the mix, it would be hard to say if he could escape safely.

Yet if he did not take action, watching the army he had personally nurtured be destroyed like this left him extremely unwilling.

Lin Moyu looked at Heavenly Venerable Qingling, guessing his personality.

From his expression, many things could be seen.

"His personality is very cautious, yet also very conflicted."

"Such a personality indeed allows one to live longer, but it makes it very difficult to reach a higher realm."

In cultivation, nothing is ever smooth sailing; one must experience danger.

If one is unwilling to take risks, it will inevitably be very difficult to achieve higher accomplishments.

Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain. This truth applies no matter where one is.

However, blindly taking risks and charging ahead brainlessly regardless of danger will also lead to a quick death. Courage and wisdom are extremely important in the process of cultivation; one must make correct judgments to go further. Heavenly Venerable Qingling's caution led him to make his final choice.

He chose to give up, giving up on the world dispute.

Although nurturing a world was very hard work and cost a great deal of time and energy, making this world very precious to Heavenly Venerable Qingling.

But compared to his own life, it became not worth mentioning.

Heavenly Venerable Qingling's expression began to relax. He no longer looked at the battlefield, but instead looked at Lin Moyu.

His gaze was very strange, seeming like hatred, but not quite hatred.

He seemed to want to remember Lin Moyu, murmuring, "Are you the strongest expert in this world?"

Lin Moyu admitted it openly, "Yes."

"What is your name?" Heavenly Venerable Qingling asked again.

Lin Moyu also admitted openly, "Lin Moyu!"

If an expert did not even dare to say their own name, what right did they have to pursue a higher realm? Heavenly Venerable Qingling said, "Good, I will remember you. I believe that one day, you will set foot on the Origin Continent.

"Although I lost this world dispute, the one who defeated me wasn't you, but merely the heritage left behind by your world.

"In the future, I will compete with you again to see who is stronger!"

After speaking, Heavenly Venerable Qingling turned and left.

He was still the World Master right now. As long as Lin Moyu did not stop him, leaving the world was just a matter of a single thought.

Lin Moyu had not intended to kill him in the first place. He was a mid-rank Heavenly Venerable after all, with a backing faction. If possible, it was better to let them off.

Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi had said that unless he never went to the Origin Continent in his lifetime,

offending too many people would definitely lead to him being ganged up on the moment he set foot on the Origin Continent.

If things went badly, even a Dao Venerable might take action, and such a life would not be pleasant.

Heavenly Venerable Qingling left, severing his connection with the Qingling World, which then became a masterless world.

This battle had been fought too quickly. The fusion had only just begun, and the battle was already over.

Who could have thought that Lin Moyu would actively attack, and even crush him with an absolute advantage, leaving him completely powerless to resist?

As soon as Heavenly Venerable Qingling left the world, he immediately transmitted his voice to Heavenly Venerable Yangming and Heavenly Venerable Feidan, "I lost. You two had better be smart. Saving your lives is what matters; don't court death!"

Upon receiving Heavenly Venerable Qingling's voice transmission, both of them were greatly shocked.

For the Boundary Sea, only a minute or two had passed. How could he have lost already?

Heavenly Venerable Yangming immediately asked, "What happened?"

Heavenly Venerable Feidan also asked at the same time, "Make it clear, what is going on? You shouldn't have fully fused yet, right?"

Heavenly Venerable Qingling said, "The opponent is too strong. He directly attacked over here, and I was completely unable to fight back. Fortunately, he didn't intend to kill us, so you two should also be smart and not throw away your lives in vain!"

"I am leaving. See you on the Origin Continent in the future!"

Heavenly Venerable Qingling left, departing from the Boundary Sea with a hint of sorrow and returning to the Origin Continent.

Leaving behind Heavenly Venerable Yangming and Heavenly Venerable Feidan, who stared at each other, both feeling a sudden chill.

The water in a Sixth-Order World was too deep; they felt like they were about to sink into it!

Chapter 2420: No Distinction of Right or Wrong, Only Success or Failure

In their anxiety, Heavenly Venerable Yangming and Heavenly Venerable Feidan watched their worlds approach the Great World. They were powerless to change the direction of their worlds' advancement, as the World Mist had already locked in the direction. The only thing they could do now was to choose not to fuse.

They hoped that after the two worlds collided, they would bounce away from each other.

Although doing so would cause trauma to their own worlds, it was still better than destruction.

Having made up his mind, Heavenly Venerable Yangming said to Heavenly Venerable Feidan, "I will have the Yangming World collide with it to change its direction. That way, it will not collide with Fellow Daoist Feidan's world."

Fellow Daoist Feidan's expression shifted. "But if you do that, Fellow Daoist Yangming's world will suffer a heavy blow. The opponent is a Sixth-Order World; the impact of this collision will be no small matter."

Heavenly Venerable Yangming gave a bitter smile. "It is still better than destruction. Although a heavy blow is unavoidable, the foundation remains. It will recover given some time."

"Fellow Daoist Qingling's words cannot be false. To make Fellow Daoist Qingling admit defeat in such a short time, their strength must be completely overwhelming."

Heavenly Venerable Feidan lowered his gaze. "It seems this is the only way. Fellow Daoist Yangming is so righteous; Feidan will surely compensate you in the future."
