Chapter 3605

The soul gem was activated, and the power of the soul gem gathered in his hand, striking out through Lin Moyu's fist.

Amidst a loud bang, Lin Moyu was sent flying again, his body shattering.

He was clearly outmatched, but the Purple-Clad Man let out a miserable scream at the same time and retreated in a panic.

That punch just now had gathered the power of the soul gem, forming a soul attack, channeled through Lin Moyu's fist.

It surged into the Purple-Clad Man's body, attacking his soul. On the surface, it looked like Lin Moyu had suffered a loss.

But the Purple-Clad Man had also been hit by the soul impact and was not doing well. Lin Moyu underwent Rebirth once again amidst the purple light.

Vast power surged into the scepter of calamity; the elemental gem shimmered, and the void trembled.

The previous restrictions were rapidly weakening. At the same time, the soul gem shone brilliantly, and an earthy-yellow light enveloped Lin Moyu.

Then, the earthy-yellow color turned into gold. A soul divine bow appeared in Lin Moyu's hand, and he drew the bow and released an arrow.

Locking onto the Purple-Clad Man, Little Tree sealed the space, responding immediately to the command.

Sealing the void in all directions, spatial power bound him from all sides, temporarily trapping the Purple-Clad Man.

The soul arrow shot out, sinking into the Purple-Clad Man's body, drawing another scream.

The Purple-Clad Man's aura finally dropped. Purple energy soared to the sky and turned into purple fire. The space sealed by Little Tree shattered instantly.

The Purple-Clad Man turned and took a step, arriving in the distance with that single stride.

After two steps, he vanished. He had fled, and Lin Moyu did not stop him.

Letting him leave, the hongmeng gem asked, "Master."

"Why didn't you keep him?" Lin Moyu had not used his full strength just now; Ultimate Immortality had not been used.

The Hongmeng Purple Fire had not been used, nor had the formations. Even the scepter of calamity had been held back. If he had used everything, it was entirely possible to keep him.

The fighting spirit in Lin Moyu's eyes had long since vanished. The one who came was only a clone; there was no point in keeping him.

Since he didn't use his full strength, I naturally had to keep some trump cards. He had originally thought he could have a great battle with the opponent, but he hadn't expected that the opponent would only send a clone. In that case, he didn't need to use his full strength either.

He knew that the Purple-Clad Man's visit this time was more of a probe, and he was doing the same.

Testing each other to see what the other's trump cards were. As for the final battle…

The hongmeng gem asked, "Then will he come again next time?" Lin Moyu said,

"He will definitely come. But instead of waiting for him, it's better if we go to his doorstep."

"There is no logic in guarding against thieves every single day. Killing the guy who is targeting us is the right thing to do."

The hongmeng gem's eyes lit up. "Master, do you know where he is?" Lin Moyu laughed and said,

"Not only do I know, but there should also be a very interesting story behind this." The hongmeng gem immediately said,

Chapter 4797: Lin Moyu's Story

"What story? Master, tell me quickly." Lin Moyu laughed and said,

"This story must start from the last Great Tribulation. Most of it is my speculation."

"It might not be accurate, but it shouldn't be too far off." Lin Moyu told a story.

A story that only he knew, one he had deduced. In Lin Moyu's story,

in the void composed of the Life Forbidden Zone and the Wall of Heaven and Earth, there had been more than one Great Tribulation. Every Great Tribulation was the destruction of an era and the fall of an epoch.

In the era of a certain Great Tribulation, there had once appeared a powerful world that transcended the Nine-Wheel World.

It was a powerful world named Hongmeng. But even the Hongmeng World could not survive the Great Tribulation.

A Supreme Expert had once appeared in the former Hongmeng World. This Supreme Expert crossed the Life Forbidden Zone and obtained the treasure guided by the world on the other side of the Life Forbidden Zone.

His existence, combined with the power of the Hongmeng World itself, allowed it to survive the Great Tribulation.

But that Supreme Expert was clearly not content with merely surviving.

He wanted more. He wanted to reach the end of the Life Forbidden Zone again; he wanted to enter the Wall of Heaven and Earth.

To go to the origin of everything, he needed more powerful strength, and to get that, he needed the power of other worlds.

Ordinary worlds were useless. He needed worlds qualified to ascend to Hongmeng; only such worlds could bring him corresponding benefits. The hongmeng gem said, "According to Master's speculation…"

"…that guy survived the Great Tribulation from the last round?" Lin Moyu shook his head. "Not necessarily."

"Perhaps it goes back even further. Not every Great Tribulation results in the birth of a Hongmeng-level world."

"Moreover, since his existence, no more Hongmeng-level worlds have appeared."

"Even if one appeared, it would be obtained by him. Furthermore, no one else would be able to cross the Life Forbidden Zone."

"He will definitely stop those people." The hongmeng gem said, "My goodness."

"How did Master discover all this?" Lin Moyu said, "Don't you find it strange? The Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaves, the Hongmeng tree roots…"

"…and that flower during the second Great Tribulation of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, it was also related to Hongmeng. If I'm not mistaken…"

"…it should be the spirit flower. Besides that, counting you too…"

"…everything is related to Hongmeng." The hongmeng gem still didn't quite understand. "But just like that…"

"…it's impossible to deduce the things Master mentioned." Lin Moyu said, "That's just one reason."

"Naturally, there are other reasons. After the Great Tribulation, worlds will be reborn from the embers."

"This world will gather great fortune; nine times out of ten, it will be a world exceeding seven wheels."

"There is also a great chance for a Supreme Expert to be born within it. But look again, how many wheels is the Chaos Ancient Wilderness?"

"Since there is the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, why was my Yushen World born?" The hongmeng gem clearly didn't understand.

It shook its head to indicate it didn't understand. Lin Moyu said, "Worlds born from the embers…"

"…can only have one. Since there is the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, there shouldn't be any other worlds."

"But the Yushen World was born. This means the existence of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness is not normal; it is not a world born from the embers."

"Yet it was born, and while experiencing the Great Tribulation, it attracted the remains of other worlds."

"Establishing connections with them—this fits the laws of the entire era." The hongmeng gem finally understood a little.

"Master means that someone changed the rules?" Lin Moyu said,

"If there are rules in the Great Tribulation, then someone indeed changed them. Do you remember the parent-child worlds we experienced?"

The hongmeng gem nodded. "Of course I remember." Lin Moyu said,

"I suspect that the Chaos Ancient Wilderness is a child world created by that Hongmeng World. He wants to use the Chaos Ancient Wilderness…"

"…to attract the remains of other worlds." The hongmeng gem asked curiously, "But didn't Master say…"

"…that those weak world remains were useless to him?" Lin Moyu said,

"Even a mosquito is meat no matter how small. Although they are useless for his ascension, using them to maintain…"

"…it is not impossible. Moreover, he must be experimenting."

"Experimenting with how to make his world stronger, attempting to take another step forward. As for this experimentation…"

"…there always needs to be test subjects. I have done this kind of thing many times before; if I can do it, others naturally can too."

"However, in any case, his final target must be the Yushen World." Lin Moyu had already made it very clear.

The hongmeng gem also fully understood. The Yushen World was the powerful world born from the embers in this Great Tribulation.

It was also the last sliver of hope in this Great Tribulation. The Chaos Ancient Wilderness was just a thing that guy had created by forcibly changing the rules.

Although it was also a complete world, its essence was not powerful; it only had four wheels.

The opponent just wanted to use the Chaos Ancient Wilderness for experiments to verify whether his ideas were correct. However, the final target of the Yushen World…

…he would not give up on it either. Lin Moyu said calmly, "He must be surprised."

"The growth speed of the Yushen World must have exceeded his expectations. Most importantly, I can step into the Life Forbidden Zone."

"Even if a Supreme Expert was born in the Nine-Wheel World, this Supreme Expert shouldn't have the ability to step into the Chaos Ancient Wilderness, at least not at the beginning."

"But I managed to do it. He was clearly surprised just now, and also confused."

"This is also the reason he gave up, because he couldn't figure out my background. Likewise…"

"…he wouldn't know that I have left behind several trump cards. These trump cards will take his life in the future."

The hongmeng gem asked, "Then where will he actually be?" Lin Moyu laughed and said, "Where else could he be?"

"Think about it and you'll know." The hongmeng gem thought for a moment, and suddenly its eyes lit up.

"The deepest part of the Ancient Wilderness." Lin Moyu said, "I already felt that there was something abnormal in the deepest part of the Ancient Wilderness."

"It's just that at the time, my strength was insufficient, and I had other important matters, so I didn't investigate further. However, there's no rush for this matter."

"After this battle, I'm afraid he won't dare to come over again for a short time. After all…"

"…this is my home turf. If I'm not mistaken, he will try to find a way to lure me over."

"To kill me on his home turf, and then come to take this Yushen World." The hongmeng gem said,

"Will he use the Chaos Ancient Wilderness?" Lin Moyu nodded. "It should be like that."

"But it doesn't matter. Everything still depends on strength." The hongmeng gem asked curiously,

"There is one more thing I don't understand." Lin Moyu said, "You don't understand your own origin, right?"

"Do you think that you also came from that Hongmeng World?" The hongmeng gem nodded.

"I am called the hongmeng gem, and I seem to have a section of memory missing, so I don't know where I came from."

Lin Moyu shook his head. "No. The person just now didn't recognize you."

"He could only sense your aura, so he wasn't afraid of you. Secondly…"

"There is more than one round of the Great Tribulation era; perhaps there were some before him. The Hongmeng World at that time might not have survived to this day."

"You might have come from the Hongmeng World at that time. Additionally, I have another guess: your origin might be higher than the Hongmeng World."

"Although I haven't seen the Hongmeng World, I don't think the Hongmeng World is necessarily qualified to give birth to you. Of course…"

"…the above is all my speculation. Perhaps I will get the answer in the future. However, I would like to ask…"

"…is this answer important?" Facing Lin Moyu's counter-question, the hongmeng gem was stunned.

Then it laughed and said, "Yeah, this question is not important."

"I am not some living creature; I am just an artifact spirit. Who cares about origins?"

"I don't need to find my parents or acknowledge my ancestors. I am me."

Lin Moyu laughed. "That's it. You are you."

"Don't worry about anything else. Alright, I should go make some preparations."

"The Hongmeng World, I do want to see it. This time it should allow me to have a satisfying battle."

Chapter 4798: Planning

Lin Moyu was very clear.

"If the opponent comes to my Yushen World again, they will definitely come only after making full preparations. Moreover…"

"…the one who comes will definitely not be a clone again. This battle has already verified that a clone alone cannot deal with me."

"The fact that I can step into the Life Forbidden Zone has already overturned his expectations and made his plans come to nothing."

"This powerful existence, who has survived from who knows which era, should have calculated everything without omission, but unfortunately, there is me, a variable."

"He only miscalculated me. When he comes knocking again, it will definitely be a thunderous strike."

"But I think he won't come knocking easily. Nine times out of ten, he will lure me over. The Chaos Ancient Wilderness is a very good lure."

"I'm afraid he will stir up some trouble in the Chaos Ancient Wilderness. The Chaos Ancient Wilderness is now my elder sister's world; I don't know if she can handle it."
