Chapter 3261, Chapter 4258: I Will Return.

The Ghost Husband avatar was frozen within the ice, unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as he was slowly refined by the World-Burning Fire. The Hell Fierce Spirits within the Bone Hell opened their maws wide, gnawing him away bit by bit. The Domain power and heaven and earth luck he had absorbed and accumulated over countless years were useless at this moment, and he despaired in his agony.

He couldn't even beg for mercy. As the World-Burning Fire continued to burn, a massive amount of Domain power and heaven and earth luck leaked out from the Ghost Husband avatar.

Lin Moyu was not polite at all, taking them all. During the process, he discovered some differences and similarities. The Five-World Domain and the Great Thousand World were two completely distinct Domains; their Domain power was also entirely different, with essences that clashed significantly and were difficult to reconcile.

However, the Domain power refined by the Ghost Husband avatar had its specific Domain attributes stripped away, becoming pure Domain power. Instead, it could exist within the Great Thousand World without causing any conflict.

Lin Moyu tried integrating this Domain power into the Great Thousand World. The Great Thousand World was actually able to absorb it. Upon absorbing this Domain power, the evolution speed of the Great Thousand World suddenly accelerated.

Its essence strengthened, and the minute changes were accurately captured by Lin Moyu. The current strength of the Great Thousand World was still somewhat inferior to the Five-World Domain. After all, the Five-World Domain had been evolving for so many years; although the Great Thousand World had his help to speed up its evolution, it could not easily catch up to the Five-World Domain. As for the Ke Dao Realm and the Lingmiao Realm, they were even further behind. So, it turned out that the power of other Domains could be used to accelerate evolution.

A bold idea emerged in Lin Moyu's mind: if he refined the Domain power of the Five-World Domain, he could significantly accelerate the evolution speed of other Domains.

According to his plan, he would very likely need to refine nine Domains in the future, yet the nine Domains would inevitably have differences in strength. If he couldn't keep them in balance, it might lead to trouble—this was a feeling. Lin Moyu always trusted his intuition, and this time was no different. Now that he had discovered this, he could fully refine the Domain power, using the strong to supplement the weak, ultimately allowing all Domains to reach a state of balance.

The Green Robe elder looked at Lin Moyu with a smile, "I cannot intervene often; from now on, you will have to rely on yourself."

Lin Moyu asked, "Is Ghost Husband still imprisoned by you?"

The Green Robe elder said, "He is not important; whether to imprison or release him is just a matter of a single thought."

From his words, one could tell that to him, Ghost Husband was truly an insignificant character who amounted to nothing. Lin Moyu did not dwell on this question too much.

He turned to ask, "How many Heaven and Earth Great Venerable are there in total?"

The Green Robe elder said, "Nine is the limit of numbers; there are nine."

"That seems like quite a few," Lin Moyu muttered to himself. The Green Robe elder chuckled, "It is very few. You must know that the Chaos is infinite; how many Domains are there in the Chaos, and how many of those guys at Chaos Realm Perfection are there? You don't need to ask for specifics; you will naturally understand when you enter the Chaos in the future."

Lin Moyu nodded. "I will return. I'll be waiting for you."

The Green Robe elder chuckled softly, his figure slowly fading until he vanished. He was gone.

But his power still remained; the ice jade cushion continued to erupt with cold air, and the Ghost Husband avatar remained unable to move. The World-Burning Fire refined it like a slow, torturous execution. The Ghost Husband avatar was too strong, and the World-Burning Fire's refinement speed was very slow.

The more so, the longer he had to endure the pain. At this moment, the Ghost Husband avatar even regretted why he had to be so strong. If he were weaker, he might have been burned to ashes in the blink of an eye, not having to suffer such prolonged pain. Now, he could neither escape nor scream; he could only wait for death in silence.

As the Ghost Husband avatar was continuously refined, more Domain power and heaven and earth luck leaked out. Lin Moyu integrated the Domain power into the Great Thousand World, pushing the Great Thousand World to accelerate its evolution, while he himself absorbed the heaven and earth luck. The heaven and earth luck was of great use for him to become the Lord of the Realm of the Five-World Domain.

While refining and devouring the Ghost Husband avatar, the World-Burning Fire and the Bone Hell were rapidly growing stronger. After all, the main body of the Ghost Husband was a powerhouse at the Chaos Realm Perfection level. Although his soul avatar was only a sliver, its essence had not changed, which was of great benefit to both the World-Burning Fire and the Bone Hell. After refining and devouring it, the World-Burning Fire could ascend to a higher level.

"What a good person!" Lin Moyu sighed in his heart. The accumulation of the Ghost Husband avatar over countless years had now mostly served him; if this wasn't a good person, what was? The refinement lasted for a full hundred days and finally ended. The Ghost Husband avatar finally closed his eyes in peace and dissipated completely.

Lin Moyu put away the ice jade cushion and dispersed the cold air. As soon as the freezing was lifted, Fatty immediately shouted loudly, "I'm frozen to death! I'm frozen to death!"

The ice jade cushion froze everything, but it froze without causing injury; Fatty only felt cold, and her physical body was unharmed. Lin Moyu put away his Undead Servants and closed his eyes to feel the changes in the Great Thousand World.

The Great Thousand World had absorbed a large amount of Domain power, which was equivalent to saving hundreds of thousands of years of time; the improvement was immense. The strengthening of the Great Thousand World caused his own realm to improve as well. Now, he had reached the Eternal peak, which was also the strongest level that the Five-World Domain could accommodate.

Without using any spells, within the Five-World Domain, only the Soulless Beast, the manager of the rules, could surpass him. Other Eternal Existence were all slightly inferior to him. In other words, his path of cultivation within the Five-World Domain was already complete—both his physical body and soul were perfected. If he were to go any further, he would exceed the limit that the Five-World Domain could accommodate. At that time, he would be forcibly transcended, leaving the Domain and stepping into the Chaos, but this was not what he wanted.

He still needed to refine the Five-World Domain and become the Lord of the Realm of the Five-World Domain. Before that, he had to take care of Palace Master Wushi Tianxu. The opponent was a genuine Chaos Realm expert and would be very difficult to deal with. Various problems lay before him, giving Lin Moyu a headache.

Although he could forcibly elevate himself to the Chaos Realm through spells, that would only allow him to exert the attack power of the Chaos Realm, which was still very different from a true Chaos Realm expert. He constantly calculated in his mind; what he had to do next was much harder than dealing with the Ghost Husband avatar, but he had to do it. He went over all the means he possessed, searching for a way to break the situation.

"My biggest advantage now is that he is still sleeping and does not know what is happening in the outside world. He is proficient in Divine Talisman; if I use arrays to deal with him, the effect will be greatly reduced. Although the World-Burning Fire has become stronger, it is still insufficient to deal with a Chaos Realm expert. Although the Soulless Beast can use the Power of Rules, he is the creator of the Domain and might understand the rules even better than the Soulless Beast, so the effect probably won't be very good either. Moreover, the battlefield cannot be placed within the Domain. Facing the Chaos Realm, the balance gem won't have a very good effect either."

Sorting through it bit by bit, exhausting his thoughts, and utilizing all available conditions, the result was that he discovered… Chapter 4259: Beginning the Setup.

The opponent was almost an unsolvable existence; no matter which method he used, Lin Moyu did not have much confidence. He didn't even have a fifty percent chance of success. Various schemes and plans were denied by Lin Moyu one by one. Lin Moyu clearly felt that when a person's strength reached a certain level, various layouts would lose their effect; any planning was a paper tiger in the face of absolute strength.

After thinking it over, Lin Moyu finally locked onto the scepter of calamity; only this Great Venerable magical treasure might be able to kill Palace Master Wushi Tianxu.

After determining this, all subsequent arrangements had to revolve around the scepter of calamity; the core was how to use the scepter of calamity to kill Palace Master Wushi Tianxu.

First, he determined the location of the battlefield; it could not be within the Domain, but it could not enter the Chaos either. It needed to take place in the area between the Domain and the Chaos, which was the area where the Soul-Devouring Spirit resided. For Lin Moyu, the most troublesome thing in this area was the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor; only by resolving the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor could he fight the big battle with peace of mind.

The Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor would not have any influence on Palace Master Wushi Tianxu, and perhaps because of the special identity of Palace Master Wushi Tianxu, the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor might even help him. If he didn't choose this place as the battlefield, there was nowhere else to choose.

It seemed he needed to study the scepter of calamity in depth to see if it could exert greater effects. The outburst of the ice jade cushion this time taught him a lesson: the function of such a level of magical treasure would not be simple; the key lay in the user's cultivation and the degree of study. Just like the "seeking cause" of the cause-seeking ring, which was only its basic ability, besides that, one could also use Effect Without Cause.

The same was true for the scepter of calamity; besides smashing and the individual functions of each gem, there must be other functions, only if he had not excavated them yet. At the same time, to exert the ability of the scepter of calamity, cultivation was also very important. If he could go one step further, break through the limit of the Dao Master, and step into the half-step Chaos, it might be better. If he could complete the preliminary Chaos-ization, that would definitely be better.

In the chaotic thoughts, Lin Moyu gradually sorted out his ideas and had a rough plan in his mind. First, he still had to refine the Divine Talisman in the Domain Core. He must refine all the Divine Talisman in the central area so that he could ensure the Domain would not collapse when fighting.

Secondly, he would set up a battlefield with the scepter of calamity as the center. Only by fighting in a battlefield he arranged could he have a greater chance of winning. This battlefield would be very huge. In Lin Moyu's plan, outside the entire Domain and inside the Chaos would all be the battlefield. Therefore, he wanted to set up an unprecedented array to cover the entire Domain within it.

Finally, and this was an extremely important step, he had to step into the half-step Chaos. Although he would be expelled by the Domain, with the Soulless Beast present, plus the Divine Talisman he had refined, perhaps he could try to change the rules a little bit to let himself stay.

After completing these three points, the chance of winning would be much higher. According to Lin Moyu's estimation, if everything went smoothly, he had at least a sixty percent chance of winning. Sixty percent was not much, but it was already more than half; it was worth a gamble. Since he started cultivating, Lin Moyu rarely gambled; he always acted after he had absolute certainty, but this time, he had to gamble.

Let it be so. Muttering to himself, Lin Moyu returned to the Domain Core. Without the Ghost Husband avatar, the Domain Core seemed much cleaner; impurities that shouldn't be there had been cleared.

As soon as he returned, the Domain Core suddenly erupted with roars, and waves of heaven and earth luck descended upon Lin Moyu. The heaven and earth luck that descended this time was majestic and powerful, much stronger than before; this was the Domain's reward to Lin Moyu for clearing the Ghost Husband avatar.

As the heaven and earth luck increased, Lin Moyu felt that he and the Domain seemed closer again; the countless Divine Talisman in the Domain Core seemed to convey goodwill to him. This was not an illusion; Lin Moyu knew very well that this was because the Domain rules would naturally be close to those with strong heaven and earth luck; heaven and earth luck was the recognition of the Domain. He was already the person with the strongest heaven and earth luck in the Domain; if anyone had the chance to become the Lord of the Realm, it had to be him.

Lin Moyu took the opportunity to start refining the Divine Talisman. He continuously separated soul avatars, silently attaching them to the Divine Talisman, and quickly refined the Divine Talisman without disturbing the vortex. Because of the strong heaven and earth luck, the refining speed was now several times faster than before.

In just a few dozen days, Lin Moyu had already refined the eighteen most core Divine Talisman in the central area. This speed shocked Lin Moyu. The Divine Talisman in the central area were the most difficult to refine; he had prepared for a long-term battle, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. He knew very well that part of the credit for this was due to the heaven and earth luck.

Then, he began to slowly expand outward, continuously refining the Divine Talisman, and expanding his territory. He did it very carefully; the vortex behind the Divine Talisman was not disturbed, but Lin Moyu also knew very well that as he refined more and more Divine Talisman, one day Palace Master Wushi Tianxu would find out. After all, the more Divine Talisman he controlled, the less Domain power he could absorb. Therefore, before being discovered by the other party, he had to complete other layouts.

In a flash, a hundred years passed. Lin Moyu had not taken a single step in the Domain Core. At this moment, nearly half of the Divine Talisman in the central area had been refined by him. For the entire Domain Core, his control over the Divine Talisman had reached two-fifths. At this time, Lin Moyu stopped.
