Chapter 3504

Lin Moyu said, "I know. It means reverting to the point closest to before death where one's state was perfectly intact." The hongmeng gem said in surprise, "So Master already knew!"

Lin Moyu said, "I discovered this back when I was in the West Pole. Just as you said, this isn't the root source. Where is its root source?"

"I don't know either, but that doesn't matter. As long as the talent can be used, it's fine."

"We will find out sooner or later." The hongmeng gem smiled and said, "Master is right. As long as one's strength is great enough, one can know everything."

"All unknowns stem from a lack of strength." Lin Moyu said, "Let's continue. We can start the second round of replication." Because the replicated Domain clones…

…had their source in Lin Moyu's soul power, they had already been fully branded with Lin Moyu's imprint from the very beginning.

There was no need for him to refine them further, saving a lot of effort. The realm gem went back to work and began the second round of replication.

Lin Moyu once again became the source of power, continuously providing soul power to the realm gem.

He died time and time again. This time, the hongmeng gem didn't bother to study it, knowing it wouldn't be able to figure anything out.

After nearly a thousand suicidal attempts to replenish soul power, another round of replication was finally completed.

The eighteen Domain clones emitted almost identical auras, feeling as though they were the exact same Domain, with only minuscule differences between them.

If the balance gem were used to balance them, even these minuscule differences would disappear.

These Domain clones were not recognized by heaven and earth; in the rules of heaven and earth, they were counterfeits. Yet in reality, they truly existed and could similarly accommodate the Great Dao.

They could also evolve living beings. The reason for this was that the scepter of calamity had actually surpassed heaven and earth, allowing such a loophole to form.

Lin Moyu exploited this loophole to continue replicating Domains. The only thing that could not be bypassed…

…was the limit on quantity. Currently, a single Domain could only replicate nine clones, and this was unchangeable.

The third round, the fourth round… all the way to the ninth round. When Lin Moyu used nearly ten thousand Rebirths in exchange for nine rounds of replication…

…and a full eighty-one Domain replicates appeared, the scene was enough to terrify any Great Venerable. The hongmeng gem watched this.

It muttered under its breath, changing its words, "This is absolutely insane." It had seen some worlds…

…with layouts similar to the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, also possessing Domains and rules, but no one had ever done such a thing.

Lin Moyu's actions were indeed insane. Lin Moyu was extremely satisfied with his results. "It's time to return to chaos. I should also set off the climax of the great calamity."

A few hundred years of time brought no small harvest to Lin Moyu. Not only were his own nine Domains and the eighty-one Domain clones all completed…

…but more importantly, his understanding of heaven and earth had advanced a step further. He understood his identity as a calamity bearer.

He now knew what he could do and what he should do, no longer in the vague manner of the past where he only knew the "what"…

…but not the "why." Now, he began to understand that as a calamity bearer, he was the center of the great calamity.

Chapter 4622: Breaking the Seal

The great calamity was an opportunity for those top existences to become Supreme Experts. This opportunity did not just belong to Great Venerable Tianzai or Dao…

…who had already broken through the Great Venerable level, but also to the various Great Venerables and Quasi-Great Venerables.

They likewise had the opportunity to break through during the great calamity and become Supreme Experts in one fell swoop. As for how to break through, that depended on each individual's opportunity.

Different people had different paths, and different paths required different opportunities; there was no fixed rule.

Perhaps when the opportunity arrived, one could break through on the spot and become a Supreme Expert. Such things were not unheard of.

The hongmeng gem had once seen this in other worlds. When the great calamity arrived, some cultivators in those worlds…

…made a grand vow, willing to do certain things for heaven and earth, and thus became Supreme Experts.

In the eyes of many, the idea of breaking through just by making a vow was inconceivable.

Yet that was his opportunity. Of course, a vow made had to be fulfilled.

Moreover, such a grand vow was too immense. After becoming a Supreme Expert, one might spend their entire life paying the price for their grand vow.

Once they stopped, the grand vow they made would backlash. At best, they would suffer a massive loss in cultivation, falling from the realm of a Supreme Expert.

At worst, they would perish directly. Furthermore, the method of becoming a Supreme Expert through a grand vow resulted in being…

…the weakest among the Supreme Experts, only a thread stronger than a Great Venerable. But at least they were still a Supreme Expert.

The issue of not being strong enough could be remedied later, so although this method was not necessarily a good thing, many people still chose it.

Aside from this, there was another method to become a Supreme Expert, which the hongmeng gem called the Method of Merging with Heaven and Earth.

Humans have seven emotions, six desires, and yin and yang natures. Severing the seven emotions and six desires, and severing the yin and yang natures, leaves only the purest original body. Once the purest original body is devoid of the seven emotions and six desires…

…one would have the chance to merge into one with heaven and earth. By utilizing the opportunity when the rules of heaven and earth are wide open during the great calamity, they could merge into heaven and earth to become a Supreme Expert.

This method was a thread stronger than the grand vow method, ranking in the middle tier among Supreme Experts. Aside from these two methods…

…there was another method known as Proving the Dao with Strength, which was also the strongest of all methods.

Fighting and killing all the way to the peak, defeating all opponents until reaching the summit of heaven and earth, and opening the Gate of Heaven and Earth with supreme strength…

…to forcefully ascend and become a Supreme Expert. A Supreme Expert who proved the Dao with strength would be…

…the absolute strongest among Supreme Experts of the same-tier worlds. Even some Supreme Experts from stronger worlds…

…who attained the Dao through other means, could not compare to them. This method was also known as the supreme method.

After Lin Moyu analyzed the three types of methods mentioned by the hongmeng gem, he had roughly understood that although the grand vow method made one a Supreme Expert…

…one was actually still beneath heaven and earth. Attaining the Dao through the Method of Merging with Heaven and Earth put one on equal footing with heaven and earth. Meanwhile, the method of Proving the Dao with Strength…

…placed one above heaven and earth. Although all were Supreme Experts and could refine heaven and earth to become its controller, their respective statuses…

…still differed. Lin Moyu knew very well that the method most suitable for him was bound to be Proving the Dao with Strength.

Fighting and killing through heaven and earth to forcefully reach the summit—this path was not only suitable for him…

…but also suitable for Lin Mohan. Furthermore, he did not want to become a Supreme Expert of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness; he had the Yushen World.

He was already the master of the Yushen World. When the Yushen World welcomed its first Life-and-Death Calamity of Heaven and Earth, once it successfully became a living world…

…as long as his strength was great enough at that time, he could become a Supreme Expert in one fell swoop. This method was even stronger than Proving the Dao with Strength.

Among all the worlds the hongmeng gem had observed, only the legendary Emperor Pocang had ever accomplished this. Facts also proved that Emperor Pocang was ridiculously strong…

…crushing all Supreme Experts and remaining invincible across all worlds. However, his timing in becoming a Supreme Expert…

…was already when the Life-and-Death Calamity of Heaven and Earth was about to end. In Lin Moyu's view, it was a bit late.

If he could become a Supreme Expert at the very beginning of the great calamity, the moment the world transformed into a living world…

…he would be able to manipulate the great calamity of heaven and earth, and perhaps become even stronger. Furthermore…

…where the upper limit of a Supreme Expert lay also depended on the strength of the world. The Yushen World was very strong, although he did not know exactly how strong it was yet.

But the hongmeng gem had told him with absolute certainty that the Yushen World was extremely powerful, highly likely surpassing a six-wheeled world…

…and reaching the level of a seven-wheeled world. If his idea succeeded, he might become…

…the first Supreme Expert in history to emerge from a world of seven wheels or more. His upper limit could surpass Emperor Pocang.

He would also have the opportunity to physically enter the Life Forbidden Zone or even the Wall of Heaven and Earth to explore the ultimate mysteries. Of course…

…this was all his own speculation. Right now, as the calamity bearer in this world of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, he would first do what all calamity bearers must do.

"Sister, let your younger brother help you become a Supreme Expert." Brimming with confidence, Lin Moyu brought his Domains and returned to the Ancient Wilderness from the Yushen World.

A full ninety Domains instantly appeared in the Ancient Wilderness, causing it to shake as the rules of heaven and earth swept over.

Sweeping across the Domains, nine of the original Domains inherently belonged to the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, having merely left it for a period of time.

The rules of heaven and earth did not care why you left or why you returned; as long as you were back, it was enough.

As for the eighty-one Domain clones, the rules of heaven and earth swept over them as well. They were not Domains of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness…

…so they naturally would not receive the recognition of the rules of heaven and earth. The rules of heaven and earth ignored them, which was exactly the effect Lin Moyu wanted.

If the rules of heaven and earth recognized them, that would actually be a hassle, and his plan might fail.

Lin Moyu gave a low shout, "Begin!" The hidden spirit bead was activated to its limit, and the balance gem in the scepter of calamity…

…also shone brightly, blending Lin Moyu's aura with his surroundings. As a calamity bearer…

…whatever Lin Moyu did would attract the rules of heaven and earth. No matter what he did, it would not go too smoothly, and complications were bound to arise.

For example, someone might interrupt halfway, or powerful enemies might attack.

It would be completely normal for a Great Venerable or a Quasi-Great Venerable to suddenly show up when Lin Moyu was breaking through. Moreover…

…those who came would definitely be enemies. Even existences like Dao might appear.

Lin Moyu had long prepared a countermeasure for such situations. The hidden spirit bead was the foundation, and the balance gem was the supplement, but even that was not enough.

The realm gem glowed with a faint light once more, and a hazy radiance lit up, enveloping a space of hundreds of millions of miles.

The realm gem could not only replicate Domains and create clones; it could also create a false Domain space out of thin air.

Under the combined force of these three, the influence of the rules of heaven and earth would be greatly weakened. Trouble might still find its way to him, but at least the probability would decrease.

Little Tree, Chaos Child, and Xiao Peng stood guard for Lin Moyu at the same time as Lin Moyu set up a grand array.

The hongmeng gem manipulated the scepter of calamity, serving as the array core. With all preparations complete, Lin Moyu took a deep breath.

"Break the seal."

Chapter 4623: Touching the Bottom Line of the Rules of Heaven and Earth

The rumbling sound was deafening.

Terrifying vitality and blood surged from Lin Moyu's body, almost instantly breaking through the isolation measures he had set up. When Lin Moyu was promoted to the Chaos Realm…

…he had completed ten power sublimations. The essence of his power was heaven-defying and terrifying, making him the only one in the history of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness to do so. At that time, in order to avoid the detection of Dao…

…he had sealed away the vast majority of his power. Back then, he was too weak…

…and had no choice but to do so. But now, with the seal broken, all his power roared like an awakened beast. Lin Moyu clearly felt that after breaking the seal…

…under the impact of the hidden power, his foundation became even more solid. His physical body and soul, which had already reached their limits, faintly advanced a tiny bit further.

It was this extremely inconspicuous bit that caused cracks to appear in the bottleneck he had already touched.

Lin Moyu revealed a look of shock. His physical body and soul were already at the limit of a Great Venerable. If they advanced just a bit further…

…that would mean breaking the limit and stepping into the level of a Supreme Expert. At that time, even if his realm remained unchanged…

…he would be strong enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with existences like Dao and Great Venerable Tianzai. This seemed highly unreasonable. It was indeed highly unreasonable and broke the rules of heaven and earth.

But on second thought, having undergone ten sublimations, he himself was an unreasonable existence. Of the things he had done, how many of them had ever been reasonable?

What he was about to do had even less to do with the word "reasonable" and was instead highly fitting of the word "unreasonable."

The moment a breakthrough occurred in his physical body and soul, Lin Moyu felt the rules of heaven and earth descend, carrying a hint of warning.

The corners of Lin Moyu's mouth curled up slightly. "Have I broken the bottom line? But so what?" He knew very well in his heart that heaven and earth could not do anything to him.

Apart from instinctive warnings, the most it could do was accelerate the progress of the great calamity or cause some trouble for him.

But with his preparations, unless an existence at the level of Dao came, even if a Great Venerable arrived…

…it would be difficult to cause him trouble. His setup was enough to block a Great Venerable for a period of time. Furthermore…

…heaven and earth did not know how strong his physical body and soul were. If they truly pushed him too far, it was not as if he couldn't kill a Great Venerable.

Lin Moyu quickly felt the changes in the great calamity. The progress of the great calamity was indeed accelerating. As the seal was completely undone, the progression of the great calamity advanced further and further.

The aura of the rules of heaven and earth also grew increasingly thick. The hidden spirit bead was affected, and its effect began to weaken drastically. Fortunately, the levels of the balance gem and the realm gem were high enough…

…so they were not heavily affected. However, Lin Moyu knew very well that this was only the first step. What he was going to do next…

…would definitely draw further interference from the rules of heaven and earth. As he repeatedly broke the bottom line of the rules of heaven and earth, the rules of heaven and earth would inevitably develop an aversion to his actions.

However, Lin Moyu also knew that although his actions touched the bottom line of the rules of heaven and earth, because he was a calamity bearer, the rules of heaven and earth could not do anything to him.

The rules of heaven and earth could not violate their own nature, so apart from warnings, they could only target him in the form of the great calamity.

With the seal completely released, Lin Moyu felt the surging bloodline within his body and the vast power rushing through him. His foundation…

…had already become solid to a terrifying degree. "I suppose even you wouldn't have expected me to do this."

The ten sublimations were set for him by Great Venerable Tianzai, but Great Venerable Tianzai would absolutely never have expected the subsequent events to turn out like this. What Great Venerable Tianzai had envisioned…

…could already be guessed to some extent. It was nothing more than letting him, in a state that surpassed the limit…

…break through to the Great Venerable level, thereby drawing the attention of Dao. Dao would not allow him to exist.
