Chapter 3489

It was more than tenfold; a tenfold difference in power was enough for him to ignore all Chaos Realm experts.

No matter if they were a Perfection-level Expert, he could blow them apart with a single punch. Even if they were a top-tier Perfection-level Expert,

it would just take a few more punches. Soon, the hongmeng gem locked onto a Tianchu Vortex.

Lin Moyu also found one at almost the exact same time. Surprisingly, they had both found the same one—a Tianchu Vortex with a diameter of about a hundred meters.

Its diameter was ten times larger than the previous one, meaning its volume was far more than ten times greater, and the power inside the vortex was much stronger.

In particular, the power of the Life Forbidden Zone within its core was even denser. Lin Moyu flew straight toward it; this time, he didn't need to be as cautious as before.

Having promoted in the deepest part of the Ancient Wilderness, his physical body and soul had already adapted to this place, giving him a feeling of being like a fish in water.

As long as the power of the Tianchu Vortex washing over him wasn't overwhelmingly strong, he could handle it with ease.

He arrived in front of the chosen Tianchu Vortex smoothly. After sensing it for a moment, Lin Moyu began to set up a formation.

The formation was meant to protect him while he was reduced to powder, enhancing his safety. Once the formation was set up,

the hongmeng gem very consciously flew into it with the scepter of calamity to act as the formation core, and the formation entered the Tianchu Vortex.

The balance gem shone brightly, making the formation's power perfectly match that of the Tianchu Vortex, as if they were one.

Lin Moyu then flew into the vortex, reaching the very bottom, where he saw the destructive power originating from the Life Forbidden Zone.

The power of the Life Forbidden Zone manifested as a mist within the vortex, denser than in the previous vortex, and its destructive power was significantly greater.

"Let the second round of death-seeking begin. I hope it won't disappoint me." Lin Moyu's mind was completely tranquil at this moment. He flew into the mist, and in less than a tenth of a breath,

he was reduced to powder.

Chapter 4595: The Calamity Bearer

The hongmeng gem had seen many Supreme Experts.

They had rushed into the Life Forbidden Zone only to perish there, body and soul. The strongest among them was Emperor Pocang.

He had lasted for ten breaths, whereas most Supreme Experts could only last for a single breath—none lasted less than one, and none exceeded ten.

Those were Supreme Experts. If it were someone at the Great Venerable level, they wouldn't even last a hundredth of a breath. Yet, Lin Moyu could endure for a tenth of a breath.

He was already an anomaly, stronger than a Great Venerable. Furthermore, Lin Moyu's current cultivation realm was still only in the Chaos Realm.

His physical body and soul had only just reached the Great Venerable level and were far from their peak. A trace of solemnity appeared in the hongmeng gem's eyes.

If that mirror from before wasn't mistaken, and he truly was that existence, then he might actually be able to enter the Life Forbidden Zone

and reach an unimaginable realm. "Strange, why can't I remember?"

"The identity of that existence… clearly, he is in my memories. This segment of memory is very vivid."

It had allowed the hongmeng gem to realize that existence's terror the moment it saw him. Yet, when it tried to think deeply about it,

it couldn't recall a single piece of information about him. Not only could it not recall it, but even when it wanted to tell Lin Moyu some details,

it found that it couldn't utter a single word. How bizarre; the hongmeng gem truly could not understand what was happening to itself.

After much thought, it ultimately spoke to Lin Moyu about the mystery of Emperor Pocang. It felt that perhaps only when Lin Moyu surpassed Emperor Pocang

and could roam freely within the Life Forbidden Zone would this mystery be solved. For the hongmeng gem, there were very few unknown things.

Now that it had found one, it really wanted to unravel this mystery. Right now,

Lin Moyu was constantly dying and undergoing Rebirth within the power of the Life Forbidden Zone. His strength was steadily growing as he began to adapt to the Life Forbidden Zone.

Everything was progressing in a good direction. Fully adapting to the power of the Life Forbidden Zone and breaking the limits of the world's rules—

it was indeed something to look forward to. As Lin Moyu's death count continued to rise, he steadily advanced

within the Great Venerable level. Suddenly, the hongmeng gem turned to look into the distance. It wasn't looking at the chaos,

nor at the Ancient Wilderness, but at the entire world. "Strange."

"The Great Tribulation is speeding up." It saw the changes in the world; the progression of the Great Tribulation seemed to be accelerating.

Every round of the Great Tribulation had its own process, which was almost entirely unaffected by external forces.

This was dictated by the rules of the world. Unless one was a Supreme Expert, no one had the ability to interfere with the Great Tribulation. Yet, the progression of the Great Tribulation had suddenly changed.

After careful observation, the hongmeng gem finally fixed its gaze upon Lin Moyu, who was still just a mass of shattered flesh and blood.

"It's the change in Master's power that accelerated the progression of the Great Tribulation. Why is that? Master is only a Great Venerable."

"How can a Great Venerable affect the Great Tribulation? This defies common sense. Let me look closer." A sharp glint flashed in the hongmeng gem's eyes.

The realm gem began to shine, outlining scene after scene. These scenes depicted everything that had ever occurred within this world,

all of which were recorded by the realm gem. At the same time, the elemental gem also began to glow.

The power of time flowed out and fell upon the realm gem, making it shine even brighter and rendering the displayed scenes increasingly clear.

The elemental gem controlled all elements in the world, including time and space, which belonged to the intangible, abstract category of elements.

The power of the scepter of calamity was far from being as simple as just bashing people. Lin Moyu had only utilized its most superficial power, never fully unleashing the true capabilities of the scepter of calamity.

Working together, the elemental gem and the realm gem clearly outlined the entire process of this world's Great Tribulation.

The hongmeng gem watched closely. Aside from the somewhat abrupt appearance of the Great Tribulation, there didn't seem to be any issues.

"But why do I feel like something is wrong? Where exactly is the problem?" It pondered, raising its tiny hand.

The realm gem and the elemental gem shone once again, and the scenes began to flow backward.

Time flowed backward faster and faster. In the scenes, the second round of the Great Tribulation of this world appeared, back when the Chaos Ancient Wilderness had finished nurturing life.

Subsequently, the second round of the Great Tribulation erupted according to the rules of the world. Countless living beings perished in this tribulation, which would ultimately birth a Supreme Expert.

The hongmeng gem did not want to watch the process of the tribulation; instead, it locked onto the exact time the second round of the Great Tribulation had erupted. Its eyes gleamed,

and a confident smile appeared on its face. "Found the problem. The interval between the second Great Tribulation and this third Great Tribulation is actually only thirty billion years!"

In all the worlds it had ever seen, without exception, the interval between each round of Great Tribulation was around a hundred billion years.

The longer intervals could reach three to five hundred billion years, and even the shorter ones would not be less than ninety billion years. Yet, the interval for this world's Great Tribulation was only thirty billion years—this was highly unusual.

Such a short interval between tribulations definitely indicated a problem. The hongmeng gem did not give up on searching for the answer.

It quickly locked onto the time when this current Great Tribulation had appeared, wanting to check what had happened within the world at that exact moment.

After searching around, it found that everything within the world had been completely normal at that point in time.

Furthermore, it sensed no signs of chaos in the world's rules. Before a Great Tribulation erupted, there would usually be some portents, and the rules of the world would undergo some changes.

But at that time, everything was normal, yet the Great Tribulation had suddenly appeared. A Great Tribulation would not erupt prematurely without reason.

There had to be a catalyst. What exactly was this catalyst? The hongmeng gem instinctively cast its gaze upon the mass of shattered flesh.

"Could it be Master?" It immediately checked what Lin Moyu was doing at that time. In its eyes, Lin Moyu was undoubtedly the most unique existence in the world.

If anyone could trigger changes in the world and cause the Great Tribulation to arrive early, it had to be Lin Moyu.

Time accurately locked onto Lin Moyu. A mass of shattered flesh appeared in the scene—a highly familiar sight. At that time, Lin Moyu was seeking death in the Western Pole Pure Land.

It couldn't see what was happening inside his storage space; it could only analyze and judge based on the superficial changes.

"It must have been caused by Master. His last death-seeking act brought the Great Tribulation early, and this death-seeking act is accelerating its progression."

"Is it because Master's original world has exerted an influence on this world? It seems that way."

"In that case, Master is the Calamity Bearer. As long as Master can successfully survive the Great Tribulation,"

"then the probability of Master becoming a Supreme Expert will be very high. However, for a Calamity Bearer, surviving the Great Tribulation"

"is extremely difficult. I must have Master make some preparations in advance."

The hongmeng gem had seen many Calamity Bearers, and their ends were all incredibly tragic—perishing body and soul might actually be the best possible outcome among them.

In the past, it probably wouldn't even have bothered to speak of it. Although it addressed Lin Moyu as "Master," it didn't actually care much about his life or death.

If Lin Moyu died, at worst, it would just find another master. As long as it didn't end up stranded in the Life Forbidden Zone,

it didn't really matter. But now was different. Ever since that mirror, an insoluble mystery had appeared.

The hongmeng gem had begun to pay close attention to Lin Moyu. It hoped Lin Moyu could live well, grow stronger and stronger, and eventually step into the Life Forbidden Zone,

taking it along to explore that unknown mystery. In the hongmeng gem's mind, Lin Moyu had become the Calamity Bearer. It had seen many Calamity Bearers

and knew what would transpire. Once Lin Moyu completed this round of death-seeking, it would tell him everything.

It believed Lin Moyu would find a way to deal with it. Lin Moyu's aura was steadily strengthening under the shroud of the Life Forbidden Zone's power.

Chapter 4596: Cause and Effect

Surviving for longer and longer periods, Lin Moyu once again began to adapt to the power of the Life Forbidden Zone. Different Tianchu Vortices contained different levels of the Life Forbidden Zone's power.

It was like climbing stairs; Lin Moyu had now taken the second step. As for how many steps remained before he truly reached the top,

no one knew. This time, there was no need for a breakthrough; he only needed to continuously strengthen his Rebirth. As it went on uninterrupted, he began to take control of his own will,

starting to examine himself. The changes in his physical body and soul were all under his control.

After dying tens of thousands of times, Lin Moyu could finally transmit his voice via his soul. He let out a sigh that sounded somewhat bored,

yet also carried a trace of excitement. Hearing his soul transmission, the hongmeng gem immediately asked, "Master,

how do you feel?" In the brief intervals of his Rebirth, Lin Moyu replied, "Not bad.

However, if this continues for about another ten thousand deaths, I will fully adapt to this place. I will need to find a new Tianchu Vortex."

The hongmeng gem said, "I will search for one for Master first. The first was a vortex with a ten-meter diameter, and the second was a hundred meters.

This time, we will increase it tenfold again." The hongmeng gem would directly look for a Tianchu Vortex with a thousand-meter diameter. This would be Lin Moyu's third step. The Great Venerable level, from entry to peak,

spanned an extremely vast range. The current Lin Moyu was still quite far from the peak; he would need to find at least one more vortex

and undergo another round of death-seeking. Lin Moyu felt a bit strange; he noticed that the hongmeng gem's attitude had undergone some subtle changes once again,

appearing even better than before. Vaguely, he felt that something must have happened to the hongmeng gem,

otherwise it wouldn't be like this. How could an arrogant existence who had lived for countless years easily change its attitude?

Lin Moyu gradually adapted to the power within this vortex. Slowly, his survival time grew longer and longer. Once his survival time exceeded one second,

this pocket of the Life Forbidden Zone would lose its effectiveness. Rebirth had a requirement regarding the time of death; it could not exceed one second at a time. Once it exceeded one second,

the Rebirth process would be interrupted and would no longer be considered continuous. After the number of Rebirths reached twenty thousand,

Lin Moyu was already able to survive for more than one second within this mist formed by the power of the Life Forbidden Zone.

His Rebirth had already been interrupted, and Lin Moyu could heal himself using the Power of Life without even needing to activate the Undying Great Dao,

to prolong his survival. He could even wrap himself in the World-Burning Fire to further extend his survival time.

As long as he wished, he wouldn't die here anymore. He had already adapted to this level of damage to a certain extent.

Of course, Lin Moyu would not foolishly believe that he could now enter the Life Forbidden Zone. The power drawn in by the Tianchu Vortex

was merely a negligible fraction to the actual Life Forbidden Zone. That tiny bit of power merely turned into mist within the vortex. If he dared to enter the Life Forbidden Zone like this,

he would definitely perish in an instant. Lin Moyu possessed great self-awareness. He felt his own power; after entering the Great Venerable level,

it had increased several times over. Now, he was fully capable of clashing with a Great Venerable, and even some Quasi-Great Venerables

might not be his match. As for his cultivation realm, it remained at the Chaos Realm Great Success. Lin Moyu felt that he had truly become an anomaly—

a mere Chaos Realm Great Success cultivator who possessed combat power on par with a Great Venerable. This was something probably no one had ever achieved before.

Leaving the vortex and packing up the formation, he asked, "Have you found a suitable vortex?" This was not yet his limit;

he could search for even stronger vortices to further enhance himself. Having finally made it here, how could he possibly stop now?

The hongmeng gem said, "There are no more suitable Tianchu Vortices here. Master, you need to change locations."

Lin Moyu nodded and flew out of the vortex cluster. There were many vortex clusters, and each cluster contained a large number of Tianchu Vortices.

If this one wasn't suitable, he would just change to another. With his strength vastly increased, he no longer needed to be as cautious as before, so Lin Moyu flew out of the vortex cluster openly.

Snorting disdainfully at the various forces along the way, he flew toward another vortex cluster.

Along the way, the hongmeng gem suddenly said, "Master, I have discovered something."

Its expression was solemn. Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Go ahead, what's the big deal?" The hongmeng gem replied, "Just now, while Master was seeking death,

I discovered that the progression of the Great Tribulation has accelerated." Lin Moyu raised an eyebrow. "Is it related to me?" The hongmeng gem said, "Yes. After I discovered this,"
