Chapter 2599

If he could find a way to guide Master Kurong's attacks to damage the Origin Continent, then the Great Dao would naturally descend with punishment.

Watching the flames suddenly appear in the sky, Lin Moyu felt a sense of trepidation, and he was not the only one.

Even a Great Dao Realm expert like Master Kurong had a drastic change in expression upon seeing the flames.

This was the Fire of Heavenly Punishment, the thing all cultivators feared most. Every cultivator had to endure the trial of the Fire of Heavenly Punishment when breaking through to the Dao Venerable realm and stepping into the Great Dao Realm, but that was merely a trial.

The power of the Fire of Heavenly Punishment was far greater than that; burning a Great Dao Realm expert to death was not a difficult task.

"The Fire of Heavenly Punishment is indeed somewhat similar to my World-Burning Fire. The one in the Soul Void mistook my World-Burning Fire for Great Dao Essence Fire."

"In that case, the Great Dao Essence Fire he spoke of is also extremely similar to the Fire of Heavenly Punishment."

"Are these three similar flames actually different, or are they one and the same?" While pondering this, Lin Moyu's speed did not decrease in the slightest.

He continued to flee into the distance at top speed. Master Kurong also did not stop because of the appearance of the Fire of Heavenly Punishment; he knew that the Fire of Heavenly Punishment was currently just giving him a warning.

It had not truly descended yet. If he were to continue destroying the Origin Continent as he had before, the Fire of Heavenly Punishment would truly descend.

At that point, he would be in big trouble; not only would he be unable to remain on the Origin Continent, but perhaps his very foundation would be affected.

Yet all of this was thanks to Lin Moyu!

He had no intention of letting Lin Moyu go.

On the contrary, his resolve to kill Lin Moyu was even firmer, and the opportunity was not far away.

Lin Moyu felt himself being locked onto by Master Kurong again. He quickly searched for the source of the lock, and upon finding it, he did not rush to sever it.

Severing the lock also required picking the right moment. Master Kurong remained silent as the distance between them closed.

Following his previous method, Lin Moyu was about to release the Skeleton Divine General to block his line of sight and sever the lock.

This would force Master Kurong to clear away the Skeleton Divine General before he could continue the pursuit. This time, it seemed no different.

Just as Lin Moyu was about to release the Skeleton Divine General, his expression suddenly shifted slightly.

Several powerful auras appeared simultaneously, locking down the world the moment they emerged. The Eye of the Undead swept across.

He saw ten massive Soul Fires; the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts from the Hundred Herbs Alliance had arrived, all ten of them.

They were everywhere, from the sky to the ground, blocking his path forward completely. Lin Moyu was naturally not afraid of the Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable, but if the opponent wanted to entangle him, it would take time for him to break free. In this situation, even a delay of a second or two would allow Master Kurong to catch up and crush him to death.

"I said it before, you cannot escape!"

Master Kurong's voice, filled with killing intent, pierced his ears. Lin Moyu sneered in his heart.

"That remains to be seen!"

He chose a target, and the Wings of Time Curse vibrated violently.

He charged forward without hesitation. The target he chose was a Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable in the shape of a flower.

Covered in thorns, it was a man-eating flower!

Chapter 3305: Master Kurong Begins to Ramble

Lin Moyu chose the man-eating flower-shaped Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

He did not know the opponent's name, nor was he very clear about its species. The only reason he chose it was its appearance—the shape of a flower. Lin Moyu vibrated the Wings of Time Curse.

He crashed into it at an astonishing speed. A deep green appeared in his vision; the man-eating flower Dao Venerable spat out a mouthful of thick green mist.

It enveloped Lin Moyu. The thick green mist was highly toxic, and even space itself cracked within the dense fog.

The poison was so potent it could corrode space; even other Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts would fear encountering such a poison and would avoid it at all costs.

But Lin Moyu did not dodge or evade, charging straight into the mist. Relying on the great dao undying pill, the thick green mist could not harm him at all. Like lightning, he pierced through the mist, and Lin Moyu slammed into the body of the man-eating flower Dao Venerable.

"Seeking death!"

The flower was its mouth; the man-eating flower Dao Venerable instinctively closed it.

At the same time, countless thorns grew inside, intending to pierce Lin Moyu to death. Inside the flower, the poisonous gas was even thicker, and combined with the terrifying thorns, it was enough to kill a Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

The other Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts saw this scene and thought Lin Moyu was dead for sure. Even Master Kurong had the same thought in an instant.

The true terror of the man-eating flower Dao Venerable lay in its internal toxins and thorns. Even with the protection of the great dao undying pill, Lin Moyu wouldn't last long. Yet, faintly, he still felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, accompanied by a loud blast, the back of the man-eating flower Dao Venerable exploded. A huge hole was blown out of the giant flower, and Lin Moyu flew out of the hole.

He flew toward the distance without stopping for a moment. Only after Lin Moyu had gone far away did the man-eating flower Dao Venerable let out a scream.

Its body had actually been pierced through, and not only was its body pierced, but its soul had also suffered heavy damage. The other Dao Venerable experts looked at each other in dismay. The man-eating flower Dao Venerable was, after all, a Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable.

Its body was incredibly sturdy; it wasn't something that could be pierced through just because one said so. No one knew how Lin Moyu had accomplished this.

Even Master Kurong did not know how Lin Moyu had done it. Lin Moyu had broken through their dragnet and escaped once again.

Master Kurong was practically about to explode with anger. He wanted to attack again, but looking at the Fire of Heavenly Punishment in the sky, he had to forcefully restrain himself. He continued to chase Lin Moyu, his aged eyes locked firmly onto him.

If gazes could kill, Lin Moyu would have died thousands of times over. At this moment, light flickered on Lin Moyu's body.

The effect of this great dao undying pill was about to wear off. The obstruction of the man-eating flower Dao Venerable had consumed a portion of the pill's medicinal power.

When Lin Moyu had charged into the man-eating flower Dao Venerable's body, he had used the scepter of calamity to directly smash out a passageway.

This was also the reason he had chosen the man-eating flower Dao Venerable; he did not want Master Kurong to see the scepter of calamity. Lin Moyu felt the medicinal power of the great dao undying pill.

He calculated the time in his heart. He didn't want to use the last great dao undying pill unless necessary.

If there were no other way, even if he used it, it would be impossible to drag it out until the Demon Emperor arrived.

"Besides the great dao undying pill, there must be another way!"

Lin Moyu felt the conditions were too harsh.

Without wanting to expose too many trump cards, the difficulty of holding out until the Demon Emperor arrived was quite high.

Perhaps in the end, at a life-or-death moment, he would have to use his trump cards.

But which one to use was worth debating. Lin Moyu's thoughts moved like lightning.

Flashing back through what had just happened, and looking at the sky, at the Fire of Heavenly Punishment that could descend at any moment.

An idea formed in his mind. Perhaps he really did need to expose a portion of his trump cards. If he could succeed, perhaps he could not only hold out until the Demon Emperor arrived but also teach Master Kurong a lesson. After chasing him for so long, he had to make him pay a price, to suffer some punishment. The key was to see how the Great Dao calculated it!

Lin Moyu thought to himself, and his flight altitude suddenly dropped.

From ten thousand meters in the air, he quickly descended to one hundred meters. As soon as Lin Moyu's altitude dropped, Master Kurong followed suit, and along with Master Kurong came the ten Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts trailing behind.

Although their speed was not as fast as Master Kurong's, they were still faster than Lin Moyu. At the very moment before the medicinal power of the great dao undying pill was about to vanish, the space suddenly twisted violently.

A massive amount of Skeleton Divine Generals appeared, blotting out the sky and blocking Master Kurong's line of sight.

The number of Skeleton Divine Generals this time was shockingly large, exceeding ten billion. Everyone couldn't even see Lin Moyu behind the Skeleton Divine Generals.

At the same time, Master Kurong discovered that his Dao Enemy Locking had been severed once again.

"Using this trick again!"

Master Kurong roared angrily. He was already accustomed to Lin Moyu's behavior. Fearing that Lin Moyu would take the opportunity to change direction and escape, he waved his large hand, blasting out attacks toward the Skeleton Divine Generals.

The moment he blasted them out, a massive number of Skeleton Divine Generals died. Facing Master Kurong's attack, the Skeleton Divine Generals died upon contact, with no possibility of survival. Suddenly, Master Kurong frowned. Within the group of Skeleton Divine Generals, a series of incredibly violent explosions occurred.

The explosions were deafening, each one like a full-force strike from a Dao Venerable 8th Realm expert. At this moment, they were less than a hundred meters from the ground.

The ground was blasted away. Although the power was far inferior to Master Kurong, it won out in quantity.

Explosion after explosion, dozens in a row, thousands of miles of land were already unrecognizable. Lin Moyu had mixed a large number of War Beasts into the group of Skeleton Divine Generals.

When Master Kurong cleared the Skeleton Divine Generals, he killed the War Beasts, triggering their self-destruction.

Master Kurong frowned deeply. He did not know the intent behind Lin Moyu's action. If he wanted to destroy his own territory, it seemed unnecessary to do so. Suddenly, a roar came from the sky.

Master Kurong's expression changed drastically. A ball of flames fell from the sky, and Master Kurong was locked by an invisible force, unable to move. The flames slammed accurately onto Master Kurong. In an instant, Master Kurong was engulfed by the flames. Screams rang out as the Fire of Heavenly Punishment burned fiercely, scorching Master Kurong until he was in agony. The ten Ninth Realm of Dao Venerable experts who had arrived immediately retreated in terror.

"The Fire of Heavenly Punishment!"

"Why would the Fire of Heavenly Punishment descend?!"

"Could it be that the explosions just now angered the Great Dao?"

Not only did they not understand, but Master Kurong also did not understand. He did not understand why the Fire of Heavenly Punishment had descended. The explosions just now were not his doing; why would the Great Dao count it against him? Lin Moyu watched this scene from afar, revealing a cold smile. He naturally knew the reason.

Although the ground was damaged because of the War Beasts' self-destruction, the death of the War Beasts was caused by Master Kurong. Therefore, a large part of the karma naturally fell onto Master Kurong. The Great Dao judged right and wrong based on karma.

Originally, the Fire of Heavenly Punishment had already given a warning. Now that Master Kurong had made a mistake again, he naturally had to be punished by the Fire of Heavenly Punishment.

"It seems I understand karma better than you!"

With a cold smile, Lin Moyu flew away rapidly. He knew the Fire of Heavenly Punishment would not last long; in a little while, Master Kurong would chase after him again.

Moreover, the Fire of Heavenly Punishment was mainly for punishment; it was not really meant to burn Master Kurong to death. Sure enough, less than five seconds after Lin Moyu left, Master Kurong, covered in flames and seething with killing intent, chased after him. "I'll kill you!"

Chapter 3306: What Does It Feel Like to Suffer a Total Loss?

"I must kill you! I will absolutely not let you live!"

Master Kurong was already rambling in his rage. On the territory of the Hundred Herbs Alliance, light began to bloom.
