Chapter 2197

"Yin and Yang clash, Hell is shattered, sweeping through the world."

"Now there is Hell…"

The text came to an abrupt halt here.

Lin Moyu looked at the fracture on the stone. It didn't look like it had been cut by a sharp weapon, but rather smashed by a massive force. Without a doubt, it had been broken by a spirit beast. If the stone hadn't been sturdy enough, probably not even a speck of dust would remain. Looking at the few words left on the stone, a tempest raged in Lin Moyu's heart.

Nine Provinces…

What was written on the stone was actually "Nine Provinces."

Even a three-year-old child knew that on the current Origin Continent, there were only the four great continents of East, West, South, and North. No one had ever heard of the Nine Provinces.

"Could it be that there were once Nine Provinces on the Origin Continent, and only four remained after that great disaster? Hell is the power of Yin, and the world is the power of Yang, so Yin and Yang clash."

"Hell is shattered… the Six Venerables of the Netherworld have also said something similar."

In Lin Moyu's understanding, after Hell was shattered, the power belonging to Hell had come to the world.

The clashing of Yin and Yang in the Power of Origin would bring terrifying disasters to the world.

But how did Hell, which was perfectly fine, suddenly shatter?

And his own Bone Hell, Resurrection of the Dead, Undying Fire, and so on, all seemed to be related to Hell.

Infinite curiosity arose in Lin Moyu's heart. He felt that whatever was behind the formation was extremely important to him.

He reached out and pressed his hand against the stone to test it. The stone was incredibly sturdy; it was difficult to damage with his strength, and he couldn't leave any mark on it.

Then Lin Moyu summoned Zhao Dongsheng and let him try. To his surprise, even Zhao Dongsheng found it difficult to damage the stone.

The sturdiness of the stone exceeded his imagination.

"Even a Dao Venerable 6th Realm cultivator cannot leave a mark on it. How could such a sturdy stone be smashed?" Lin Moyu ran his palm over the fracture. Suddenly, he felt an unusual power. "Death qi… it was caused by year-round corrosion from death qi."

"However, death qi couldn't completely corrode the stone either, only forming a relatively weak crack."

"Then, under the repeated impacts of the spirit beast, this crack eventually caused the stone to break."

"It was the entity behind the formation who didn't want anyone to see the information on the stone, so they did it on purpose." "In that case…"

Lin Moyu looked at the formation. He realized that the broken stone had very likely entered the formation.

Such a sturdy stone would be hard to truly destroy; perhaps it was still there.

If he could read the full text on the stone, he would be able to obtain more information.

He flicked out a large amount of firelight, which illuminated the depths of the canyon. Lin Moyu searched within the formation for a moment and finally discovered a clue.

In the formation, there was one spot where black qi was spewing out in particularly large amounts, much more than in other places.

It was as if a tear had been ripped in the formation. Although the entity inside couldn't come out, it was already large enough to allow some small objects to enter.

For example, that broken stone.

If the stone could enter, then he should be able to enter as well.

However, Lin Moyu did not enter immediately. He summoned a Skeleton Divine General and let it go in first to explore.

The Skeleton Divine General arrived at the gap in the formation and then squeezed inside.

The death qi had no effect on the Skeleton Divine General. The Skeleton Divine General was originally an undying creature that constantly emitted death qi itself. It was already a blessing that it didn't corrode others, so how could it be affected by external death qi?

After the Skeleton Divine General entered, its connection with Lin Moyu was severed.

However, Lin Moyu could sense that the Skeleton Divine General was not dead and was currently in a safe state.

After waiting for two minutes like this and finding that the Skeleton Divine General was still alive, Lin Moyu finally felt somewhat relieved.

He sent in a few more Skeleton Divine Generals. After finding that these Skeleton Divine Generals were all safe and sound, Lin Moyu finally acted in person.

With the Power of Death surging through his entire body, he protected himself with it and squeezed into the formation through the gap.

Death qi and the Power of Death seemed to share the same origin. Although there were differences, they did not interfere with each other.

Passing through the formation, the scene before his eyes instantly changed, and an extremely dense Power of Origin rushed toward him.

Lin Moyu was delighted. "What a dense Power of Origin. This origin spirit vein's grade is not low."

Under Lin Moyu's perception, the origin spirit vein in front of him was at least above the fifth rank, and very likely the sixth.

The reason the providence here was so strong was also because of the existence of this origin spirit vein.

Sweeping his gaze around, he did not find the broken stone.

The ground was bare, without a single blade of grass or tree, and devoid of any life.

A large amount of death qi permeated the air. How could there be flowers, grass, or trees in a place filled with death qi?

In the distance, patches of red light glowed, and red waterfalls cascaded down. What flowed in these red waterfalls was not flames, but lava.

The lava turned into waterfalls, flowing down from the nine heavens and forming rivers of fire on the ground.

"This looks a bit like the Hell Fire River!"

Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes slightly. This scene was simply too similar to the Hell Fire River in his Bone Hell.

With a thought, a large number of Skeleton Divine Generals appeared and flew in all directions.

Lin Moyu did not even spare the space above his head; every single corner had to be thoroughly investigated. He knew he had entered an independent world. The laws of the Great Dao here were already different from the outside world. This feeling was somewhat similar to the Origin Secret Realm.

A Skeleton Divine General arrived at the edge of the nearest river of fire. Suddenly, the river of fire exploded, and a creature composed of lava rushed out from it.

It was incredibly fast, violently sending the Skeleton Divine General flying with a crash.

The terrifying flames instantly ignited the Skeleton Divine General. In just two or three seconds, the Skeleton Divine General was burned to ashes.

The lava monster then quickly returned to the river of fire and disappeared.

The Skeleton Divine General that had been burned to ashes resurrected and was reborn from the ashes. However, by this time, it was already far from the river of fire, and no more lava monsters rushed out. Everything seemed to return to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.

"The monsters rushing out of the river of fire are indeed somewhat similar to the Hell Fierce Spirits."

Seeing this, Lin Moyu felt that this world was extremely similar to the Bone Hell.

Boom!

The ground shook, and the lava waterfalls exploded as firebirds flew out from them, heading straight for the Skeleton Divine Generals.

Their power was much stronger than the Skeleton Divine Generals'. Upon collision, the Skeleton Divine Generals were rapidly burned to ashes, completely powerless to resist.

Lin Moyu sensed carefully and found that the power of these lava monsters had all reached the level of High-level Heavenly Venerables, indeed far surpassing the Skeleton Divine Generals who were only Low-level Heavenly Venerates.

After this trip on the hurricane warship ended, Lin Moyu's estimations had been slightly off; he hadn't been able to step into the Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate realm, still falling a line short.

If he could step into the Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate realm, then the Dragon Cavalry Legion would be able to deal with these lava monsters.

"Although it's a bit difficult, it's not impossible to fight!"

Lin Moyu had the confidence. He controlled a Skeleton Divine General to approach the edge of the river of fire once more.

The river of fire exploded, and a lava monster rushed out.

Lin Moyu pointed his finger, releasing the Bone Hell, which instantly engulfed the lava monster.

Chapter 2689: Unobtainable When Sought, Yet Obtained Unbought

The Bone Hell shrouded a large area of the river of fire. In an instant, the rivers of fire exploded one after another, and a massive number of lava monsters surged out from them.

The Bone Hell was not to be outdone either. A large number of Hell Fierce Spirits rushed out, tangling in a brawl with the lava monsters.

They bit and wrestled with each other, neither side yielding.

Lin Moyu discovered that the flames of the lava monsters had no effect on the Hell Fierce Spirits.

The Hell Fierce Spirits usually bathed in the Hell Fire River, so their resistance to fire was extremely powerful. As long as the flames weren't too absurd, they weren't afraid at all.

Both sides were High-level Heavenly Venerables, evenly matched in combat power.

However, in terms of numbers, the Hell Fierce Spirits held an absolute advantage.

One by one, the lava monsters were eliminated. After their deaths, the Hell Fierce Spirits rushed into the lava, swallowing it in huge gulps.

The scorching hot lava had absolutely no effect on them.

The Hell Fierce Spirits devoured the lava at an astonishing speed like dragons sucking up water, and the lava rapidly depleted.

As the Hell Fierce Spirits devoured the lava, the Hell Fire River grew stronger and stronger.

Lin Moyu was delighted. "This lava is highly nourishing for the Hell Fire River."

In the next second, he expanded the range of the Bone Hell, enveloping more lava and releasing more Hell Fierce Spirits. At the same time, he was certain that there must be some connection between his Bone Hell and the real Hell. The Gate of Hell, the Hell Fire River—nothing came out of nowhere; there had to be an underlying cause.

A large amount of lava was devoured, and the Hell Fire River surged even more violently, like a great river with billowing waves.

Suddenly, the death qi flowing in the air began to churn.

Originally, the death qi had just been flowing steadily and naturally toward the exit.

Now it suddenly became frenzied. The death qi gathered into clumps, forming clouds of black mist that stood in sharp contrast to the crimson lava.

The death qi evolved into humanoid swordsmen. Each of them held a sharp sword, numbering in the thousands.

"Peak Heavenly Venerate!"

These Peak Heavenly Venerates formed from death qi possessed combat power even greater than ordinary Peak Heavenly Venerates, and any living being touched by them would be contaminated by the death qi.

However, to Lin Moyu, this death qi was nothing at all.

With a thought, the Bone Hell expanded its range once more, unceremoniously engulfing these death qi swordsmen as well.

The flames boiled, and the Hell Fierce Spirits slaughtered frantically, tearing the death qi swordsmen to shreds with their absolute numerical advantage.

The death qi swordsmen were torn apart, and their death qi was devoured by the Hell Fierce Spirits. They truly turned nothing away, eating whatever came their way.

Finally, some of the lava ran dry, revealing the bottom.

"This is… the origin spirit vein!"

An origin spirit vein was revealed, but this origin spirit vein was very peculiar, actually exuding an aura of death.

Yet, within the aura of death, there was also a trace of vitality.

Most origin spirit veins in the world did not possess special attributes.

Only a few origin spirit veins would possess specific attributes.

However, for the convenience of their own cultivation, many cultivators would nurture the spirit vein after obtaining it, allowing it to acquire specific attributes.

Like that eighth-rank spirit vein in the Hanshui Holy Land, it initially had no attributes either, but was later nurtured generation after generation by the Hanshui Holy Land.

Now, a portion of it had acquired an icy attribute, aligning with the inheritance of the Gu family of the Hanshui Holy Land.

However, another portion still had no attributes; this part of the origin spirit vein flowed and diffused outward, becoming the territory controlled by the Hanshui Holy Land.

Not only did the Hanshui Holy Land do this, but many major factions possessing origin spirit veins did so as well.

Yet the origin spirit vein before him possessed mostly death aura with a minority of vitality, forming a stark contrast.

Lin Moyu couldn't determine whether it was naturally formed or modified later on.

Suddenly, his heart throbbed, a flash of inspiration exploded in his mind, and he felt a sudden premonition. "An opportunity!"

On the hurricane warship, he hadn't been able to become a Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate right up to the end, always falling a line short. It was slightly worse than expected, and it could only be said that the opportunity had not yet arrived.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity had arrived now.

Lin Moyu was not polite at all. He opened his mouth and inhaled, and a massive amount of Power of Origin instantly surged out from the exposed origin spirit vein.

The Power of Origin contained both the powers of life and death, perfectly corresponding to Lin Moyu's Undying Great Dao.

Lin Moyu inhaled greedily. The rank of the origin spirit vein was high enough, and a massive amount of Power of Origin entered his body, resonating with the laws of the Great Dao.

Not only was the Undying Great Dao resonating, but the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Time were also resonating.

Previously, Lin Moyu had already pushed all three Great Daos to the limit of the Low-level Heavenly Venerate realm, only a line away from the Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate realm.

And this line was crossed at this very moment!

Lin Moyu's aura climbed steadily, and a sound like shattering glass echoed in his Soul World.

The bottleneck leading to the Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate realm was blasted to pieces. Lin Moyu's aura surged dramatically, and he officially stepped into the Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate realm.

Along with the elevation of his realm, the power of the entire Undead Legion surged dramatically.

The Skeleton Divine Generals went directly from Low-level Heavenly Venerates to Mid-stage Heavenly Venerates, even becoming quite a bit stronger than Lin Moyu himself.

The Legion Commanders and captains of the Dragon Cavalry Legion all became High-level Heavenly Venerables.
