Chapter 3227

Active dormancy would have a better effect than passive dormancy. Lin Moyu was willing to send him into the Great Dao's dormancy, even if it meant bearing some karma.

The Lord of Fate was extremely grateful in his heart, and he whispered:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin."

"When I was in the Outer Domain…" He began to speak of his experiences in the Outer Domain, and everyone present pricked up their ears to listen.

Afraid of missing a single word, they had all been to the Outer Domain, but they had only just left the Domain.

They had not even truly come into contact with Soul-Devouring Spirits, let alone an existence like a Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor. To be able to obtain some information from the mouth of the Lord of Fate…

…was naturally for the best, but the more they listened, the more alarmed they felt.

The Lord of Fate also had no reservations and recounted his experiences one by one, from soaring into the Great Dao to falling back heavily injured.

It had only been a few days, but to him, it felt like experiencing three lifetimes. After leaving the Domain…

…neither Soul-Devouring Spirits nor Soul-Devouring Spirit Kings were his match, and he destroyed them one by one.

Until the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor appeared, he, like Lin Moyu, fell into an illusion, and this illusion was incredibly realistic.

It was hard to distinguish truth from falsehood, and he had not even seen the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor. Fortunately, the Lord of Fate had been dormant before.

He had experienced life and death, and had sat in meditation in the Dead Land of Absolute Dao for countless years to comprehend the Dao. The strength of his Dao Heart was second to none.

Coupled with the fact that he had seen through fate, through the life and death of the world, and the desolation of karma…

…he was ultimately not trapped by his own illusion. After paying some price, he still managed to break out.

The Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor did not show himself from beginning to end, but that was not important; the Lord of Fate knew he had already broken out.

Just when he thought he could achieve the Dao, a terrifying existence appeared, and the Lord of Fate saw endless whip shadows falling.

He was instantly severely injured and fell from the Outer Domain, faintly hearing a shriek.

However, he was not pursued. He crashed through the Domain barrier and returned here. The Human Emperor frowned.

"The opponent severely injured you with a single strike but did not pursue you. Why is that?"

The Lord of Fate shook his head slightly, indicating he did not know. Since even the Lord of Fate did not know…

…others would know even less. Only Lin Moyu knew the answer: it was the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor who had blocked the opponent.

The Soul-Devouring Spirits were not only the final trial for cultivators in the Domain, but also the Domain's first line of defense. In terms of realm, the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor was not very high.

It was probably just slightly higher than an Eternal Existence, and not even as good as a half-step transcendence, but their abilities were terrifying.

They were elusive and hard to grasp. Lin Moyu said:

"Although Senior failed to transcend this time…"

"…you have also taken a small step forward. Senior should be able to feel that your power has already undergone a transformation."

"It is stronger than before." The Lord of Fate nodded; indeed, it was so.

"I have a premonition that this dormancy will not last too long. At least ten thousand years, at most a hundred thousand years."

"I will be able to return to the Great Dao and attempt transcendence again." The current Lord of Fate…

…had a realm that had just surpassed Eternal, but was still a little bit away from half-step transcendence, belonging to a very strange state.

This state would not be expelled by the Domain's Power of Rules, and the dormancy period would be relatively short, so it could not be said to be a complete failure.

Lin Moyu said:

"I will send Senior into the Great Dao. Fellow Daoists, you may disperse as well."

"You have all heard what Senior said. If you wish to take the final step, please be careful."

Saying so, Lin Moyu opened the passage to the Land of Origin and entered it with the remnants of the Lord of Fate. After the various Eternal Existences looked at each other…

…they turned and left. The Lord of Fate's experience was not good news for them; the final step was far more dangerous than they had imagined.

After the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor, what was the origin of that entity who had severely injured the Lord of Fate with a single blow?

Why did they do that? This question hung over their heads like a haze, making them restless.

Just as Lin Moyu entered the Land of Origin, he saw the Lord of Power and Old Yin also rushing over. At this moment, the Lord of Fate's consciousness had mostly dissipated.

Seeing that he was about to fall into a coma again—a damaged True Spirit was a very troublesome matter—Lin Moyu delayed no longer.

Activating the Gather Power technique, he quickly stepped into half-step transcendence and unleashed the Great Dao World-Destroying Palm!

Striking out with his palm, to send the Lord of Fate into the Great Dao, he had to kill him first.

Killing an Eternal Existence would inevitably incur karma, so ordinary people would not be willing to do this.

Lin Moyu was willing to do it, and the Lord of Fate felt grateful in his heart. Under the strike…

…the Lord of Fate's body, which should have shattered, surprisingly did not. The foreign power present on his wounds…

…actually protected the Lord of Fate's physical body, and this power seemed to be truly activated, starting to become active.

The Lord of Fate widened his eyes. "Fellow Daoist Lin, that power wants to control…"

Without him saying it, Lin Moyu had already discovered it. That power had hidden itself before and was only truly making its move now.

Because they had now reached the Land of Origin, which could be considered the most important place in the Domain besides the core.

That foreign power evolved into tiny clones, invading the Lord of Fate's body and soul, trying to control him.

The Soulless Beast suddenly appeared, and bolts of lightning fell from above, blasting onto the Lord of Fate's body.

The invasion of the foreign power into the Land of Origin triggered the rules to bring down punishment, but this was still not enough.

The punishment of heaven and earth could only slow down the opponent's invasion speed. Lin Moyu barked softly, "Help me stabilize it!"

The Soulless Beast growled, temporarily stabilizing the Power of Rules in the Land of Origin, and even the punishment of heaven and earth paused.

Lin Moyu's aura rose once again, and in an instant, he bypassed half-step transcendence, achieving true transcendence.

Without the Soulless Beast, he would have been instantly expelled by the Domain's Power of Rules. But now…

…he could stay in this realm for a single second, which was at least enough for him to launch an attack. Great Dao World-Destroying Palm!

A palm strike far more powerful than before was unleashed, landing heavily on the Lord of Fate. This time…

…the Lord of Fate's physical body could not hold out and was shattered to pieces by the palm strike, and his soul was the same.

It also turned into dust, and the foreign power that was invading the Lord of Fate was similarly dispersed by the palm strike.

With a bang, Lin Moyu exploded, and in the next second, he was reborn from the purple light.

He did not stop, immediately waving the Power of Life to envelop the dust that the Lord of Fate had turned into, escorting it.

It was sent to the Great Dao of Fate. The Soulless Beast was very cooperative, actively making the Power of Rules yield the way. Lin Moyu used his own power to escort the Lord of Fate into dormancy within the Great Dao.

In this way, it would make it easier for the Lord of Fate to return. An invisible power of karma descended.

Lin Moyu took out the cause-seeking ring and barked:

"Effect without Cause!"

Chapter 4207: Do Not Be Too Self-Righteous

The capabilities of the cause-seeking ring were far more than what had been used before, but Lin Moyu's understanding of the Dao of Karma was not deep enough to fully exploit them.

Ever since he saw An Yuyan comprehending "Effect without Cause", Lin Moyu knew that he could achieve a similar effect by using the cause-seeking ring.

Of course, the price he would pay would also be heavy; dying a few times was quite normal.

Establishing the effect through the cause-seeking ring, he rejected the influence of the Lord of Fate's karma. Bang!

The moment the cause-seeking ring glowed, Lin Moyu suffered a backlash and exploded on the spot.

This was also where he differed from An Yuyan. An Yuyan's "Effect without Cause" was to realize the effect first…

…and then suffer the backlash. On the other hand, the "Effect without Cause" realized by Lin Moyu using the cause-seeking ring was to suffer the backlash first…

…before realizing the effect. Although Lin Moyu was blown to pieces by the backlash, the cause-seeking ring had already been activated.

It bloomed with faint light, and an invisible power welled forth, blocking the karma descending from the heavens.

The karma of the Lord of Fate's dormancy did not fall on Lin Moyu, but was entirely blocked by the cause-seeking ring.

The effect was successfully planted. No cause was needed, only the result.

Lin Moyu was blown to pieces again and again amidst his Rebirth, only balancing out after three consecutive times. "Effect without Cause"…

…was an ability too heaven-defying. It was enough to make An Yuyan fall directly into dormancy, yet Lin Moyu only paid the price of three Rebirths.

It could be completely ignored. Of course, the effect planted this time was very simple.

If the planted effect were slightly more complex, it would not be just three Rebirths; there might be six, ten…

…or even more. The stronger the planted effect, the higher the price that needed to be paid.

Lin Moyu put away the cause-seeking ring and looked at the Great Dao of Fate. The Lord of Fate had already successfully entered reincarnation through the Great Dao of Fate.

In at least ten thousand years, and at most a hundred thousand years, he would inevitably return.

At that time, he would return to his peak and surpass Eternal. But whether he could transcend once more…

…would depend on his own choice. After confirming that the Lord of Fate was fine, Lin Moyu looked at the Lord of Power and Old Yin.

As their eyes met, Lin Moyu knew they had something on their minds. "What is the matter, you two?"

The Lord of Power asked straightforwardly:

"Where has Yuyan gone?"

The Lord of Power and An Yuyan were long-time friends.

He naturally sensed An Yuyan's departure, and since An Yuyan had been with Lin Moyu recently, the Lord of Power naturally had to ask.

Old Yin was much the same. He narrowed his eyes slightly at Lin Moyu, waiting for an answer.

At this moment, the Dao of Karma belonging to An Yuyan was in an extremely peculiar state, seemingly dormant.

Yet there were still some fluctuations. It could be seen from the Dao that An Yuyan was not in any danger…

…but there was also something unusual. As for what exactly was unusual, they could not say.

Lin Moyu said:

"Yuyan is fine. She has left the Domain."

The Lord of Power barked, "What did you say?"

He clearly did not believe what Lin Moyu said.

Old Yin, on the other hand, was much calmer and said softly:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please explain in detail."

Lin Moyu said:

"My sister took Yuyan away and left the Domain."

"As for where they went, I do not know either, but I can guarantee that Yuyan is safe and sound."

"I, Lin, disdain to lie. Of course, you two may choose not to believe me." Lin Moyu was resolute.

At his level, he naturally would not lie. Just as the Lord of Power wanted to say something…

…Old Yin gave him a look to make him shut up, and Old Yin asked himself:

"Fellow Daoist Lin."

"Since you do not know where Yuyan went, how can you guarantee her safety?" Lin Moyu said:

"I naturally have my reasons to believe. Moreover, after Yuyan leaves the Domain, I am afraid it will not be long before she can transcend."

"At that time, there will be changes in her Dao. You two can pay attention to it. Do you have any other questions?"

"If there are no questions, I shall leave." Old Yin continued to ask:

"Since Fellow Daoist Lin says so, we shall naturally believe you. I am still curious about one thing."

"Fellow Daoist Lin's sister is actually a Transcendent. But in this Domain…"

"…has there ever been any other Transcendent besides the Torch Dragon?"

Lin Moyu said:

"This Domain has many secrets."
