Chapter 2022

"Perhaps our guess was wrong. A rank-six world is much stronger than us. Even if Fellow Daoist Yangming lost, it is only normal."

Heavenly Venerable Yangming said, "This is also what I wanted to tell Fellow Daoist Feidan. A loss is a loss; as long as our lives are spared, there will be plenty of opportunities!"

Previously, Heavenly Venerable Qingling actually meant the same thing. In a world struggle, losing is just losing; staying alive is the top priority.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Yangming. I will keep it in mind."

Heavenly Venerable Yangming took one last look at his Yangming World and grit his teeth. "You brat, I'd like to see how you will apologize to this deity!"

Heavenly Venerable Feidan sighed as he watched Heavenly Venerable Yangming depart.

Their plan had failed, and his Feidan World was about to collide with the Great World.

No, rather, before the collision even occurred, the opponent would invade the Feidan World.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan murmured, "No matter what, I must try. My Feidan World is not to be trifled with."

He dove into the Feidan World to prepare for the world war.

A moment later, a mass of flames enveloped the entire Yangming World.

The Yangming World rapidly shrank within the firelight and gradually disappeared.

Lin Moyu used the World-Burning Fire to refine the entire world.

This was his first time refining an entire world, and the effect of the World-Burning Fire was surprisingly good. The world was continuously refined and rapidly shrank, while the impurities within its origin were also weeded out during the process. The World-Burning Fire not only refined the world but also purified its origin along the way.

Soon, Lin Moyu obtained a world crystal, an origin crystal refined from a rank-five world.

Chapter 2422: This Old Man Has Been Upright and Honorable All His Life

origin crystals could be categorized into many types, and even within the same rank, there were differences in quality.

Lin Moyu had seen many of the same rank-five origin crystals, and their qualities did not differ much.

Compared to a rank-five origin refined from a rank-five world, although both were rank-five origins, the difference between them was distinct.

Lin Moyu felt that the rank-five origin he had fused was far inferior to this world crystal.

Even a rank-six origin seemed inferior to it.

If origins were to be graded, then an origin refined from a Boundary Sea World was absolutely the most top-tier, premium existence among origins of the same rank.

This was also why those Heavenly Venerables came to the Boundary Sea for world struggles; wasn't it precisely for these top-tier origins?

This world crystal could be used to integrate into his spells, which would yield quite excellent results.

It could also be used to upgrade his Rule World, allowing him to break through to a higher realm. Not to mention Heavenly Venerable, reaching Peak Supreme would definitely not be an issue.

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to let the Great World absorb the world crystal.

He still wanted to strengthen his connection with the Great World and become its World Master as soon as possible.

In the Boundary Sea, having a world without a master always brought many inconveniences.

Lin Moyu did not return to the Great World for the time being. The Feidan World was almost here; once he dealt with the Feidan World, he would let the Great World absorb them together.

In the mist, the two worlds were continuously drawing closer, getting nearer and nearer.

Beneath the Boundary Sea, Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi was drinking wine while acting as a spectator.

"I didn't expect the brat to actually pull it off."

"The brat's strength seems to have grown again. Every time his realm rises by a rank, his strength increases by a notch."

"Moreover, these spells of his seem somewhat peculiar. Some can even channel the power of the Great Dao, which doesn't seem like spells from a Boundary Sea World."

Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi shook his head. With his vast experience, even he could not quite figure it out.

But since he couldn't figure it out, Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi simply stopped thinking about it. It was far more comfortable to just enjoy his wine. Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Feidan finished his preparations and appeared outside his world once more, watching the approaching Great World.

The rank-six world broke through the mist and appeared before Heavenly Venerable Feidan's eyes.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan wore an expression almost identical to Heavenly Venerable Yangming's. The oppressive pressure brought by a rank-six world was something that could not be felt when viewing it from a distance.

The former Great World had eight Heavenly Venerables, and it even possessed existences close to a Dao Venerable, like the Mysterious Master.

The Heavenly Venerables within that world had already begun searching for the path to becoming a Dao Venerable, which meant these Heavenly Venerables were no longer low-rank Heavenly Venerables.

Over countless years, the Great World had also devoured hundreds of worlds, both large and small.

The combination of these two factors gave the Great World an unimaginable pressure.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan swallowed hard, forcefully suppressing the tremor in his heart.

He desperately wanted to devour this powerful rank-six world, but unfortunately, he knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to do so.

Not long after the rank-six world broke through the mist, he saw Lin Moyu sitting atop the world.

Lin Moyu slowly stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed toward Heavenly Venerable Feidan. "Junior Lin Moyu greets Heavenly Venerable Feidan."

He was very polite!

Heavenly Venerable Feidan had thought Lin Moyu would be some fierce and evil character, but seeing him today, he looked more like an elegant and polite young master.

"His cultivation is indeed that of a high-rank Supreme. It seems he is relying on the legacy left behind.

"Is the legacy of a rank-six world really this terrifying?"

Heavenly Venerable Feidan thought to himself while responding politely, "Are you the strongest expert of this world?"

Lin Moyu smiled slightly. "Heavenly Venerable Yangming must have told Senior about the situation. I also do not wish for Senior to personally enter the field. The outcome of the world struggle isn't actually that important to Senior, right?"

"It is very important, but compared to my life, it isn't that important," Heavenly Venerable Feidan murmured.

"I truly envy Senior's freedom to come and go as you please. But for this junior, this world struggle is a battle that I can only win and cannot afford to lose." Lin Moyu smiled.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Moyu's words; their identities were different.

He came from the Origin Continent to participate in the world struggle in the Boundary Sea. If he failed, it would merely be a waste of some time and energy.

The destruction of the world actually had nothing to do with him; he could completely just wash his hands of it and leave.

On the other hand, Lin Moyu was born in a Boundary Sea World, a native living being of the Boundary Sea. From the moment of his birth, he was tied to the Boundary Sea World.

If the world struggle was lost, there were only two possible outcomes for Lin Moyu.

One was to obtain the permission of the new master and continue living in the new world, but he would be subject to another's control for the rest of his life.

The other was to sever his connection with the world, but this approach was akin to inflicting eight hundred points of damage on himself to deal a thousand to the enemy.

Both the individual and the world would suffer damage. While a Heavenly Venerable could still bear it, for a Supreme, it would likely be difficult to make any further progress in the future.

Therefore, to Lin Moyu, this world struggle was a battle he could only win and could not afford to lose.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan said in a low voice, "I understand your difficulties, but as a Heavenly Venerable, I will not easily admit defeat!"

Lin Moyu cupped his hands slightly. "This junior understands."

There was no need for further words. Heavenly Venerable Feidan had already made his stance clear: he would not personally enter the field, but it was also impossible to make him directly admit defeat.

In short, they had to fight, and he was already prepared.

At this moment, Heavenly Venerable Feidan gently tapped his finger, and the world barrier of the Feidan World automatically opened, revealing a passage.

Understanding his intent, Lin Moyu stood up and rushed into the Feidan World, and Heavenly Venerable Feidan directly followed him inside.

Inside the Feidan World, Lin Moyu once again felt the oppressive pressure from the world.

The pressure of the Feidan World was even stronger than that of the Yangming World, which also indicated that the power of the Feidan World was greater.

Flames were everywhere here, and within the flames, there was a majestic vitality.

This kind of flame carrying vitality was the best flame for refining pills.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan was only ten thousand meters away from Lin Moyu. He said in a low voice, "This is the world created by this old man, a world of pills!"

"This world was born for pills, and the world itself is also a giant pill."

Heavenly Venerable Feidan did not shy away from introducing his world to Lin Moyu, his words carrying a hint of pride. Clearly, he was very satisfied with this world of his.

With the raging flames, the Feidan World felt to Lin Moyu not only like a pill itself, but also like a pill-refining furnace.

Lin Moyu said, "If you had launched a sneak attack on me just now, you might have had a chance to kill me."

Heavenly Venerable Feidan glared at him. "This old man has always been upright and honorable. How could I ever do such a despicable thing?"

"If we are to fight, we shall fight fair and square!"

Saying this, he pointed his finger, causing the flames in the world to boil as countless pills flew out of them.

The pills exploded with loud rumbles, transforming into living beings.

The pills within the Feidan World were its living beings.

These living beings had various shapes and emitted powerful auras.

There were six Heavenly Venerables. Although they were all low-rank Heavenly Venerables, they were indeed the strongest among several worlds.

The number of Supremes exceeded two hundred thousand. These living beings transformed from pills had almost no fixed shape, constantly changing in the void.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan said, "Bring out your legacy and let this old man see how powerful the former rank-six world was!"

Lin Moyu nodded and snapped his fingers.

The flames exploded to form a sea of fire as four hundred skeleton thrones emerged simultaneously. Four hundred Skeleton Kings stood side by side, holding bone swords.

Lin Moyu said, "Does Senior think this is alright?"

Heavenly Venerable Feidan's lips twitched. "Alright, my foot."

Lin Moyu asked in a whisper, "Then how should we fight?"

Four hundred low-rank Heavenly Venerables—how could they fight?

Heavenly Venerable Feidan's expression became incredibly colorful. He snorted angrily a few times and said, "This old man has a certain move. If you can withstand it, you win."

Lin Moyu nodded. "If I cannot withstand it, this junior will immediately retreat!"

Chapter 2423: Senior, Do Not Worry, Please Go Ahead and Strike

Both of them were upright and honorable, even discussing and negotiating how to fight a war.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan couldn't help but look at Lin Moyu in a new light. "Not bad, young fellow. If you can set foot on the Origin Continent in the future, come to the Elixir Emperor Sect, and this old man will cover you."

Lin Moyu readily agreed, "Thank you, Senior."

Well, this was already the second Heavenly Venerable who wanted to cover him.

Lin Moyu was indeed upright and honorable, but he was not pedantic.

He knew that if Heavenly Venerable Feidan possessed such a secret technique, even if he didn't agree, Heavenly Venerable Feidan could still cast it, and he would still have to withstand it.

In that case, it was better to be generous and open about it, appearing more upright.

Lin Moyu had confidence in himself. No matter what secret technique it was, trying to kill so many Skeleton Kings would be extremely difficult.

If Heavenly Venerable Feidan really possessed such heaven-defying strength, he wouldn't have wasted so many words with him.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan formed hand seals one after another with his left hand, and his right hand began to draw runes. The Ancient Rune he was drawing was somewhat complex.

Lin Moyu felt that the rune Heavenly Venerable Feidan was drawing looked somewhat familiar. It was a rank-four Ancient Rune that he had seen and drawn before.

"Isn't this a rune used for refining pills?"

"Heavenly Venerable Feidan's technique in drawing runes is not very skilled; it seems inferior to mine!"

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised. He had not expected a Heavenly Venerable from the Origin Continent to actually know how to draw runes as well.

The runes drawn here differed from those in the Great World, but the difference was not significant.

There were only some minor differences in the details. Lin Moyu could draw it after watching for just a brief moment, and he was confident that he could draw it even better than Heavenly Venerable Feidan.

Most importantly, it could be inferred from Heavenly Venerable Feidan's actions that the Origin Continent also had runes.

Lin Moyu was already pondering if he could obtain some information from Heavenly Venerable Feidan's mouth, which might be useful in the future.

There was also Heavenly Venerable Shuizhi, who should more or less know some things as well.

Heavenly Venerable Feidan combined his hand seals and runes, shouting angrily, "Manifest!"

In an instant, all the living beings evolved from the pills collapsed simultaneously, turning back into pills one by one.

This change was quite interesting to Lin Moyu; they could actually be transformed in reverse.

The pills gathered together and fused with one another, and a pill furnace appeared in the void.

The pill furnace was incredibly massive, towering between heaven and earth, occupying a vast expanse of the void.
