Chapter 2225

"I feel like any random heavenly thunder could put me to death."

People put down their work and looked up at the sky.

Many were in a panic, not knowing what had happened.

Suddenly, someone pointed to the high sky in the distance. "Look, there's someone there!"

Looking over, they saw Lin Moyu standing in mid-air before the heavenly thunder and earthly fire. His hands were weaving a massive number of runes as he made the final refinements to the formation group.

The pressure radiating from the formation group grew heavier and heavier. Everyone in Yudao City felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, making movement…

…difficult.

At this moment, in their eyes, Lin Moyu was like an immortal, like a god, possessing an awe-inspiring majesty.

Lin Feng, who harbored hostility toward Lin Moyu, clenched his fists tightly, staring dead at Lin Moyu.

"How can you be so strong? You're only a Heavenly Venerable. How can you be so strong?"

Lin Feng was not far from the Heavenly Venerable realm at this point, and he usually had some contact with several Heavenly Venerables.

Under the Human Emperor's arrangements, Heavenly Venerable Wu and the others would often give sermons.

Lin Feng already had a rough understanding of how powerful a Heavenly Venerable was.

But the Lin Moyu of this moment surpassed his imagination.

Lin Moyu's power seemed to have already transcended the ranks of a Heavenly Venerable.

Lin Feng was highly unwilling. "I don't believe I can't beat you. You just have slightly better luck than me. My potential is definitely stronger than yours."

"I will not only become a Heavenly Venerable, but also a Dao Venerable, and trample you under my feet."

Beneath the dome of heavenly thunder and earthly fire, Lin Moyu suddenly felt a sensation in his heart. Turning his head slightly, he caught sight of Lin Feng from the corner of his eye.

Lin Feng hid his feelings well on the surface, but he still could not escape Lin Moyu's spiritual sense.

Yudao City was enveloped by an invisible destiny. Everyone's destiny was linked together as one through the origin spirit vein, highly harmonious.

Only Lin Feng seemed to have become an independent individual.

Since his heart was not aligned, destiny no longer favored him.

A cold smile appeared on Lin Moyu's face. He didn't care at all about a clown like Lin Feng.

He refined the entire formation group completely, then quietly waited for it to absorb enough power to fully integrate with the origin spirit vein.

At the same time, Lin Moyu dismantled the previous Angry Thunder Formation.

Now that they had the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation, the Angry Thunder Formation lost its purpose.

If even the Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation couldn't block it, the Angry Thunder Formation would be completely useless.

Finally, he refined the control token for the formation and handed it to the Human Emperor to control. Lin Moyu continued to act as a hands-off manager.

Once everything returned to peace, Lin Moyu had already vanished from everyone's sight.

Lin Moyu returned to his cultivation chamber to continue cultivating and consolidating his realm.

He could feel that he was very, very close to becoming a High-level Heavenly Venerable, lacking only an opportunity.

However, he could not leave just yet. He had promised Lei Guang to guard the tribe for him.

Two to three years later, a powerful aura rose in Yudao City. Gu Qingxuan completed her breakthrough and stepped into the Peak Supreme realm.

Furthermore, due to Lin Moyu's selfishness, he provided a massive amount of origin spirit veins. After becoming a Peak Supreme, Gu Qingxuan took another step forward, making the Heavenly Venerable realm no longer so out of reach.

With the help of the Light Crow, Gu Qingxuan becoming a Heavenly Venerable was just around the corner.

As time passed day by day, there were more and more people in Yudao City.

The Human Emperor brought people out batch by batch, and batches of cultivators continuously grew.

Gradually, they began to explore the world outside Yudao City, and their power system became more and more complete.

Lin Moyu had completely become a hands-off manager, throwing all of Yudao City to the Human Emperor, Heavenly Venerable Wu, and the others.

A few years later, the Lunar Origin hung high in the sky, and the taiyin talisman on Lin Moyu's forehead shone brightly, manifesting his status as the Son of Taiyin.

In this state, his destiny rose, and Lin Moyu vaguely felt a mysterious connection with the Lunar Origin.

His spiritual sense became sharper, allowing him to have some vague perceptions of distant places.

The light of the Lunar Origin enveloped the entire Origin Continent. Lin Moyu felt that perhaps one day, he could use the Lunar Origin to know everything happening in every corner of the Origin Continent.

In his vague perception, Lin Moyu seemed to sense that a fierce battle was breaking out in a distant place.

Powerful auras surged between heaven and earth, and the intensity of the war was incredibly shocking.

"Is the Dongling Empire taking action?"

"What on earth is your purpose? Is it really just for destiny?"

"Or is there someone else pulling the strings behind you?"

Lin Moyu pondered, trying his best to sense the situation in the distance. However, this perception was too vague and intermittent, making it impossible to see clearly.

During the repeated appearances of the Lunar Origin, Lin Moyu sensed it several more times.

The location had changed, but it was still far away, and the battles remained incredibly intense.

The flames of war were spreading across the entire Eastern Continent, but his region seemed to have become a paradise away from the world.

Lin Moyu guessed that the Dongling Empire possessed some special spiritual beasts that could sense the locations of powerful Dao Venerables.

Therefore, the Dongling Empire only needed to target and attack those powerful Dao Venerables; as long as they killed them, they could achieve their goal.

The destiny of the strong far exceeded that of the weak.

On his side, the strongest were Great Sword Dao Venerable and Zhao Dongsheng.

But of these two guys, one was inside the Spell Star, and the other was in a dormant state, so they might not necessarily be sensed.

Moreover, Yudao City was located in a remote area, so the flames of war did not head this way.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed, and Lei Guang had not yet returned.

Lin Moyu believed that Lei Guang would not be in danger. With his strength, there were not many who could kill him.

Through the Lunar Origin, he could still sense that the war was continuing, and the Dongling Empire's actions had not completely stopped.

However, the frequency was getting lower and lower, and it was estimated that the end was not far off.

Another two years passed. In the thirteenth year after Lei Guang's departure, a bolt of thunder flew from afar, illuminated by the light of the moon.

Within the thunder, Lei Guang was rapidly approaching.

"You're finally back!" The corner of Lin Moyu's mouth curved up slightly. The Heavenly Thunder Fire Formation instantly blazed, revealing an opening composed of fire.

"Come in from here!" Lin Moyu's voice rang in Lei Guang's ear.

The thunder slipped into the formation, crossing tens of thousands of kilometers to arrive before Lin Moyu.

Chapter 2734: Someone Has Come to Find Trouble

Lei Guang landed before Lin Moyu as thunder roared. His massive body rapidly shrank, turning into a human form in the blink of an eye, looking no different from an ordinary human.

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised. "You can actually take human form now."

Under normal circumstances, spiritual beasts in the Origin Continent could not transform into human form.

The Demon Race could transform into human form, and the higher their realm, the more perfect the human form they manifested.

The human appearance was known as the Dao Body. If the Demon Race wanted to reach the highest realm, they had to do this.

Lin Moyu did not know why the demonic beasts in the Origin Continent could not do so.

Lei Guang couldn't do it before either, but now he suddenly could.

The form Lei Guang transformed into was an honest-looking young man. Lei Guang gave Lin Moyu a look, then waved a bolt of thunder to envelop the surroundings. Lin Moyu smiled, distorted space and time, and isolated the area with a formation. Only then did Lei Guang grin and say, "I performed quite well in this great war and received many rewards. Transforming into a Dao Body is one of the empire's rewards to me. Besides that, there is also a decent cultivation method. In the future, I will have a method to cultivate, rather than relying on my bloodline to evolve naturally." He was completely guileless, telling Lin Moyu everything he had obtained.

Lin Moyu also sincerely congratulated him. "Then congratulations, Brother Lei. It seems this method of Dao Body transformation is also very precious."

Lei Guang said, "That's right, it's truly very precious. You can only get it by joining the Dongling Empire."

Lin Moyu said, "This kind of secret method probably cannot be passed on to outsiders, right?"

Lei Guang nodded. "Yes, it cannot be passed on."

Lin Moyu thought of the Reincarnation Secret Method in the Hundred Herbs Alliance. It should be of the same type—only for personal use, completely unable to be passed on.

Through Lei Guang's explanation, Lin Moyu finally learned that after a spiritual beast reached the Dao Venerable 6th Realm, if they wanted to continue advancing, they had to transform into a Dao Body.

Without this secret method from the Dongling Empire, spiritual beasts could only stop at the Dao Venerable 6th Realm.

No wonder he had never seen a Dao Venerable 7th Realm spiritual beast in the territory of the Southern Continent.

Lin Moyu did not ask Lei Guang about the process of this great war; he knew Lei Guang would likely be restricted. The Dongling Empire was a hidden piece in the Eastern Continent. Many things were probably kept in the dark and absolutely not allowed to be leaked. If not for such strict rules, the existence of the Dongling Empire could never have been kept a secret for countless years.

Lei Guang said, "I already went back to the tribe before coming here. Thank you, Brother Lin, for helping me guard the tribe all these years." Lin Moyu smiled and said, "I will naturally do what I promised you."

With a wave of Lei Guang's large hand, thunder exploded beside him, and a large pile of flesh and blood flew out.

Instantly, a powerful aura permeated the air.

Every piece of this flesh and blood was extremely powerful, showing how strong their owners had been.

Lei Guang said, "A total of forty-nine pieces of flesh and blood. The lowest realm among them is Dao Venerable 4th Realm, and the highest is Dao Venerable 6th Realm. These guys were all slain by me, and they are all of the Demon Race."

"The mission of the unit I participated in was to sweep away the Demon Race Dao Venerables."

Lei Guang briefly explained the situation. The Dongling Empire's forces were divided into multiple units, each dealing with enemies of different races. The unit Lei Guang was in dealt entirely with the Demon Race, so the ones he killed were also Demon Race Dao Venerables. Among the forty-nine pieces of flesh and blood, Lin Moyu spotted one piece that was slightly special.

With a wave of his hand, the piece of flesh and blood flew into his palm. It radiated the power of lightning; though it was already dead, the power contained within was still immense.

In life, this piece of flesh and blood should have belonged to a Dao Venerable 6th Realm expert, and a king among the Demon Race at that—a Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger.

In the Boundary Sea World, the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger that Lin Moyu had met happened to also be surnamed Lei, named Lei Hao.

Lei Guang said, "The owner of this piece of flesh and blood was a Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger. Like me, he was skilled in manipulating lightning and mastered the Thunder Dao. He was the hardest to kill among these guys."

"I fought him for a long time, but in the end, I still killed him."

Lin Moyu nodded. "Did you only kill experts of the Dao Venerable 4th Realm and above this time?"

Lei Guang said, "That's right. Those below the Dao Venerable 4th Realm are not even in the Ruler's eyes." Lin Moyu asked, "What kind of existence is the Ruler?"

Lei Guang shook his head. "The Ruler's realm should be Dao Venerable 8th Realm, or perhaps Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable. I'm not very sure."

"Whenever the Ruler appears, it is always in human form, so I don't know what kind of spiritual beast the Ruler actually is."

"Anyway, we just act according to the Ruler's orders. In the Dongling Empire, the Ruler's command is law; no one can disobey."

"Furthermore, the Ruler is clear about rewards and punishments. As long as we achieve merit, there will definitely be rewards. If we do something wrong,"

they will inevitably be punished."

In Lei Guang's words, the Ruler of the Dongling Empire was an impartial, awe-inspiring, and terrifying existence.

Lin Moyu put away these pieces of flesh and blood. "In any case, it's good that you returned safely. Cultivate well after returning this time, and strive to break through to the Dao Venerable 7th Realm as soon as possible."

Lei Guang said, "Yes, that's what I think too. I need to quickly break through to the Dao Venerable 7th Realm. The Ruler seems to have some new actions coming up, but only those at the Dao Venerable 7th Realm and above can participate. I'm not qualified."

"Only after this time did I truly realize that the difference between the Dao Venerable 6th Realm and 7th Realm is so vast. Those Dao Venerable 7th Realm experts in the empire are truly incredibly powerful. I really amount to nothing."

Lei Guang seemed to have been stimulated, rambling on a lot.

Lin Moyu could tell that Lei Guang now had an extremely strong desire for realm and strength.

His previous aloof, indifferent demeanor was now completely gone.

And this change all stemmed from that Ruler of the Dongling Empire.

Lin Moyu was also very curious about what kind of charm that Ruler possessed to actually affect Lei Guang's nature.

Lei Guang said, "Alright, I should head back."

Lin Moyu said, "I will also be leaving here in a while. If anything happens here, please look after it for me." Lei Guang patted his chest. "No problem."

Suddenly, Lei Guang's expression changed slightly. "Someone has come to find trouble."

Lin Moyu was slightly startled. The Great Sword Dao Venerable, who was dormant in the Thunder Eagle Tribe, suddenly opened his eyes. Through the Great Sword Dao Venerable's eyes, he saw a Buddhist light flying toward the tribe in the distance. The Buddhist light formed a sphere with a full six wheels, of different colors and distinct layers.

"Six-Wheel Ancient Buddha!" Lin Moyu said softly.

Lei Guang's eyes narrowed slightly. "Could it be him?"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Won't we know if we go look? Don't resist, I'll send you over!" He stomped his foot on the ground, and the origin spirit vein trembled violently. A surge of the Power of Origin welled up, enveloping Lei Guang. In the next second, both of them disappeared at the same time, instantly appearing in a place just thirty thousand kilometers away from the Thunder Eagle Tribe. Although Lei Guang's speed was fast, it was far inferior to teleportation.
