Chapter 2417

Lin Moyu watched the clash between the two sides, already understanding what was going on.

For the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan, their time was running out.

As the battle between the two sides continued, Lin Moyu asked, "Do battles like this happen often?"

The Grand Elder replied, "Often. Basically, it happens once every ten days."

Lin Moyu continued to ask, "Are the results always the same?"

The Grand Elder said, "No. Sometimes the Outer Domain Celestial God's offensive isn't very fierce, but other times it can be extremely intense. It's hard to say."

Lin Moyu pondered for a moment and asked again, "Is it always the Outer Domain Celestial God initiating the attacks? Have you never tried to launch a counteroffensive?"

The Grand Elder said, "We have tried, but most attempts ended in failure. Over all these years, we have managed to reclaim formation nodes, but they can be counted on one hand."

Lin Moyu pressed further, "And the formation nodes you reclaimed, were they quickly taken back again, after which you were never able to reclaim them a second time?"

"Furthermore, your counteroffensives have become increasingly weak. If I'm not mistaken, you haven't successfully reclaimed a single formation node in the past thousand years."

The Grand Elder fell silent for a few seconds, replying with a touch of helplessness, "Yes."

Lin Moyu asked again, "And the times his attacks are the fiercest also tend to be when you rotate your guards."

The Grand Elder let out an 'en' in acknowledgement.

Lin Moyu more or less understood. This Outer Domain Celestial God was very clever; over all these years, he had already figured out the patterns of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan's movements.

The Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tigers couldn't keep the same people guarding the formation indefinitely.

They would rotate their guards after a certain period.

Except for the positions of the eight elders, which remained fixed, everyone else would be rotated.

And every time they rotated guards, the Outer Domain Celestial God would launch a fierce attack, attempting to seize the formation nodes.

Furthermore, in the beginning, the Outer Domain Celestial God would even feed the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan some sweet honey, letting them believe they still had hope.

Until a thousand years ago, when he completely wiped away this false hope.

This time, because Lin Moyu had entered, the formation underwent some slight changes. Sensing this shift, the Outer Domain Celestial God assumed the guards had been rotated again.

Thus, he launched another fierce assault. Though the attack was intense, it was destined to end in failure.

This time, there was no rotation; there was simply one extra person.

Lin Moyu sat on his own formation node, watching the great battle in the distance.

A strand of the Great Dao of Luck flew over and landed on one of the 'Outer Domain Celestial Gods'.

These 'Outer Domain Celestial Gods' were manifested from the formation nodes, yet they also seemed to truly exist.

At least, when Lin Moyu looked at them, a sense of revulsion arose in his soul. This was a warning from the Great Dao. After completing Dao Enemy Locking, a Sword of Luck appeared in Lin Moyu's hand.

The Sword of Luck slashed out silently and vanished from Lin Moyu's hand.

In the next instant, the Sword of Luck appeared before that 'Outer Domain Celestial God' and stabbed straight into him.

The entire process was faster than lightning; the 'Outer Domain Celestial God' could not react at all.

The Sword of Luck pierced through his body. The 'Outer Domain Celestial God', who had been fighting the Thunder Tiger, suddenly let out a sharp howl.

His aura dropped slightly, but not by much.

Just like him, the auras of the other Outer Domain Celestial Gods also dropped slightly, also by a negligible amount.

To be precise, the drop was less than one-thousandth.

But Lin Moyu's eyes lit up, "It's effective!"

Following that, he unleashed two more slashes with a swish. After three strikes, the aura of the 'Outer Domain Celestial God' army dropped a little bit more.

"It seems there is also some kind of connection between them, linking their luck into a single whole."

"Since you are a single entity, this makes things much easier!"

As Lin Moyu thought this, a pitch-black sword appeared in his palm!

Chapter 3037: You've Killed an Outer Domain Celestial God?

The Sword of Luck Poison flashed past, landing on one of the 'Outer Domain Celestial God' clones.

Lin Moyu sensed that this 'Outer Domain Celestial God's' luck was instantly contaminated by the poison.

Subsequently, the Luck Poison rapidly spread to every clone along the connections between them. The Sword of Luck Poison, operating on the principle that extremes meet, gathered luck to form Luck Poison.

Condensing the Luck Poison into a sword, it continuously weakened the enemy's luck.

For experts of the same realm, this sword was a terrifying poison that was extremely difficult to neutralize.

However, for the Outer Domain Celestial God, the effect was mediocre.

Because the Outer Domain Celestial God was too powerful, at least in the Great Dao Realm, far surpassing Lin Moyu.

Therefore, the effect of the Sword of Luck Poison was not very good, inferior to a normal Sword of Luck.

But now, these Outer Domain Celestial Gods could be viewed as individual clones.

These 'Outer Domain Celestial God' clones, manifested from the formation nodes, were connected to each other in a marvelous way.

They still appeared to be a single entity, but Lin Moyu could sense that they were actually dispersed.

If damage could be inflicted on one of them, it would be distributed equally among all the 'Outer Domain Celestial God' clones.

In truth, the individual defense of each 'Outer Domain Celestial God' was not that strong; it was only because all damage was shared by the collective that they appeared to be so powerful.

His Undead Legion possessed a similar ability, so he knew very well how to deal with this kind of connection.

If the Outer Domain Celestial God's luck were a tightly-knit whole, then the impact of his Luck Poison would not be very significant.

In Lin Moyu's view, if the Outer Domain Celestial God's luck was considered to be ten thousand points, then his Sword of Luck would at most inflict ten points of damage.

But when the Outer Domain Celestial God manifested himself into a hundred clones, his luck value remained ten thousand, but it was…

…equally distributed among these hundred clones.

And each of these hundred clones possessed one hundred points of luck.

Yet the damage inflicted by the Luck Poison on each clone remained ten points. Even if it was weakened, after a discount, it would still be seven or eight points.

The result would then be completely different. With a hundred clones combined, the damage could reach a highly substantial level.

Furthermore, this was a poison that would inflict continuous damage.

Of course, as the luck weakened, the effect of the poison would also gradually diminish.

After the Sword of Luck Poison was deployed, the auras of the 'Outer Domain Celestial Gods' began to weaken at a visible rate.

Roar!

An exasperated, furious roar echoed in Lin Moyu's ears, and at the same time, he felt as if he had been locked onto by an evil and powerful force.

Lin Moyu knew his actions could not be hidden from the opponent; he had already been targeted by that Outer Domain Celestial God.

Being targeted was actually good. It would be best if he came looking for him on his own, saving him the trouble of searching.

Accompanying the roar, the clones of the 'Outer Domain Celestial God' suddenly sounded the retreat and quickly withdrew.

Just as the tigers formed by the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan were about to give chase, Lin Moyu suddenly shouted, "Don't pursue!"

His voice passed through the formation and entered everyone's ears.

However, Lin Moyu's words were clearly useless; no one listened to him.

Lin Moyu knew this was normal. He hadn't originally intended for those people to listen; he was telling the elders.

Then, the Grand Elder spoke up decisively, "All of you, fall back!"

The Grand Elder's words were law; the members of the Thunderlight Purple-Striped Tiger Clan immediately retreated.

The two sides entered a stalemate once again, seemingly minding their own business.

With a thought, Lin Moyu withdrew his consciousness from the formation and returned to reality.

He found that all eight elders were looking at him with strange expressions.

The Grand Elder asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, how did you do that?"

He knew it was Lin Moyu's doing, but he didn't know how Lin Moyu had accomplished it; he couldn't understand it.

Those who did not cultivate an illusory Great Dao would find it very difficult to comprehend its wonders.

Lin Moyu said, "These Outer Domain Celestial Gods are actually just clones manifested by that fellow using the formation."

"They are connected in a special way to share all damage, which is why the defensive power of each clone is so strong."

"When you face one clone, you are effectively facing the entire Outer Domain Celestial God. That's why it's very difficult for you to win in single combat."

"However, although they are a single entity, they have dispersed after all. Most importantly, their luck has dispersed."

"Thus, I weakened their luck. Once their luck is weakened, their combat power drops drastically."

The several elders stared at Lin Moyu, their eyes filled with nothing but shock.

The Grand Elder murmured, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you understand the Great Dao of Luck?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

At this moment, Clan Leader Lei Tian suddenly chimed in, "But Fellow Daoist Lin, isn't the Dao you comprehended the Dao of Strength?"

Lin Moyu replied casually, "There's no rule saying one can only comprehend a single Great Dao."

Clan Leader Lei Tian's expression froze. Indeed, there was no rule stating that everyone could only comprehend one Great Dao. However, the vast majority of cultivators only comprehended a single Great Dao!

Even if some could comprehend multiple Great Daos, they would ultimately choose only one to focus on. For every additional Great Dao cultivated, the effort and time required would increase several fold.

Therefore, he had never even considered that Lin Moyu could comprehend multiple Great Daos.

Moreover, since Lin Moyu had comprehended the illusory-type Dao of Strength, he would have been even less likely to think in this direction.

In truth, Lin Moyu had once again shattered his understanding.

Lin Moyu had actually comprehended a second Great Dao, and it was also an illusory-type Dao—the Great Dao of Luck.

The Great Dao of Luck was known as the illusory-type Great Dao closest to cultivators. All cultivators knew of the existence of luck, yet it was extremely difficult for them to come into contact with it.

Because it truly existed everywhere, it was spoken of as the easiest Great Dao to comprehend, but the reality was not like that at all.

Throughout history, those who could comprehend the Great Dao of Luck were also few and far between.

Not only Clan Leader Lei Tian, but the other elders also looked at Lin Moyu as if looking at a monster.

Amidst his shock, a look of excitement suddenly rose in the Grand Elder's eyes. "In that case, does Fellow Daoist Lin already have a way to deal with it?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "It's not that simple. This Outer Domain Celestial God is different from the ones I've encountered before. Killing him won't be that easy; he should be harder to kill than the previous ones."

Boom!

Everyone felt as if they had been struck by divine lightning, freezing there in complete numbness.

Even with the composure of a clan leader like Clan Leader Lei Tian, he became extremely unsettled at this moment.

His voice trembled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you're saying… you've killed an Outer Domain Celestial God?"

Lin Moyu nodded casually, "I've killed a few. Actually, they aren't that hard to kill. It's mainly because my realm is too low, so it causes some trouble."

"But as long as one seizes the opportunity, they can still be killed."

Clan Leader Lei Tian murmured repeatedly, "To think someone could actually kill an Outer Domain Celestial God… Didn't the Demon Emperor say that below the Great Dao Realm, no one can kill an Outer Domain Celestial God, and at most they can only kill a Divine Pet?"

Lin Moyu chuckled, "Nothing is absolute. Under the Great Dao, there is always a silver lining of hope for everything. It just depends on whether you can grasp it. I believe Clan Leader Lei Tian must understand this principle."

Clan Leader Lei Tian nodded blankly. Naturally, he understood this principle, but how difficult was this silver lining? It was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Lin Moyu smiled, "If we can kill this fellow, the elders, including many of your clan members, can all obtain Great Dao rewards."

As soon as these words were spoken, the elders immediately grew excited, their expressions changing visibly!

Chapter 3038: Fellow Daoist Lin, Just Say the Word, We Will Listen

Great Dao rewards… Why did they risk their lives to suppress and kill the Outer Domain Celestial God in the first place? Was it not for the Great Dao rewards?

Among the eight elders, the Grand Elder was an expert of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, while the remaining seven were also experts of the Dao Venerable 8th Realm.

For the Grand Elder, the Great Dao reward was his only chance to step into the Great Dao Realm. As for the remaining seven elders, they also wanted to use the Great Dao reward to enter the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

When Lin Moyu mentioned the Great Dao rewards, their hearts, which had been silent for many years, suddenly came alive. However, Lin Moyu's next words shattered their hopes.

Lin Moyu said, "If the Grand Elder wishes to use the Great Dao reward to step into the Great Dao Realm, that is impossible."
