Chapter 3617

Seeing that it was all just stalling for time, Lin Moyu's main body broke free from the shattered space, and Little Tree transmitted a message.

"Found it. The spatial channel is built." An entrance to a spatial channel appeared out of thin air beside Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu rushed in without a second thought, traveling through the spatial channel at top speed and bursting out in the shortest possible time.

The Hongmeng World appeared in his line of sight; after Emperor Zijin awakened, he had hidden the Hongmeng World.

He had also erased the coordinates Little Tree had left inside the Hongmeng World, and Little Tree had searched for ages without finding it, until the battle with Emperor Zijin.

Only when Emperor Zijin summoned the phantom of the Hongmeng World did Little Tree manage to lock onto the general direction, until Emperor Zijin arrived outside the Yushen World.

By utilizing the Power of Belief, Little Tree was finally able to follow the trail and lock onto the exact location of the Hongmeng World.

Lin Moyu had never intended to return to the Yushen World; Emperor Zijin going to the Yushen World was already within his expectations, and that was exactly what he wanted—to be outside the Yushen World.

To stall Emperor Zijin while he went to refine the Hongmeng World; he wanted to kill Emperor Zijin.

But there were many ways to kill; if he killed him directly, once Emperor Zijin died, the Hongmeng World would also shatter, which wouldn't maximize the benefits, and he had his own ideas.

He wanted Lin Mohan to become the master of the Hongmeng World, so he needed to do the opposite and act while Emperor Zijin was still alive.

Forcibly refining the Hongmeng World; if Emperor Zijin were still inside the Hongmeng World, he couldn't complete the refinement, and Emperor Zijin could even self-destruct the Hongmeng World, resulting in mutual destruction. The only way was to lure Emperor Zijin away.

And use certain methods to sever the connection between Emperor Zijin and the Hongmeng World for his plan to succeed. He had long prepared the net, just waiting for Emperor Zijin to swim into it.

Now that he had entered the net, it was time to pull it in. Lin Moyu arrived silently outside the Hongmeng World.

He rushed directly to the world barrier and smashed down with the scepter of calamity, forcibly breaking open a passage.

He charged into the Hongmeng World, and his Wings of Heaven and Earth instantly unfurled. "Nine Heavens Fate Technique, Submit!" The Wings of Heaven and Earth combined with the Nine Heavens Fate Technique to forcibly alter the laws of the world.

Causing the laws of the Hongmeng World to not reject him for a short period.

The next instant, trillions of Undead Spirit Soldiers swarmed out, and a calamity descended.

A massacre that would cover the entire Hongmeng World began, while Lin Moyu himself turned into a streak of light and flew toward the location of the world core.

Outside the Yushen World, Emperor Zijin's expression changed drastically. He sensed the changes in the Hongmeng World; Lin Moyu hadn't returned but had instead broken into his Hongmeng World.

Just as he was about to flee, Lin Moyu's clone snapped his fingers, and the void erupted with brilliance.

A heaven-shaking great formation suddenly appeared. This formation had existed for a long time, hidden within the Life Forbidden Zone, and was only activated now. Along with the formation, Little Tree's massive root system also emerged.

Lin Moyu had used the formation to hide Little Tree's root system together, keeping it dormant all this time.

Attached to Little Tree's root system were numerous world remains; using Little Tree's roots and the world remains as the foundation, the formation was filled with the power of worlds, and it was now activated.

The power of worlds surged out frantically, forming a unique space that isolated the inside from the outside, significantly weakening the connection between Emperor Zijin and the Hongmeng World.

Emperor Zijin realized he had been tricked; Lin Moyu's target had always been the Hongmeng World, not him. Emperor Zijin roared, "You are courting death!" and summoned his Purple Gold Thunder Pagoda.

Emperor Zijin spat out a mouthful of blood essence, unleashing thunder that filled the sky. A pitch-black arrow pierced through the thunder and struck Emperor Zijin's body. Emperor Zijin screamed as his aura plummeted.

Chapter 4815: Fish and Meat on the Chopping Block

Lin Moyu's clone had fired a Soul-Slaying Arrow. Emperor Zijin was struck by the Soul-Slaying Arrow, his soul suffered damage, and his aura dropped. Under the influence of the formation, his connection to the Hongmeng World weakened further.

He looked at Lin Moyu's clone in disbelief, "Impossible, how could a mere clone of yours use the Soul-Slaying Arrow?"

The Soul-Slaying Arrow harms the self before harming others; even if the main body used it, their soul would suffer damage. Its ability to kill depended entirely on one's own soul—the more soul power consumed, the greater the power.

The power of that arrow just now, while not equal to one fired by the main body, was still terrifying. It was extremely unlikely for a clone to achieve this, yet he had done it, and the clone appeared completely unharmed.

This was simply impossible. He couldn't understand it; he couldn't understand it at all.

Emperor Zijin had lived for who knows how many years; since he attained the Dao, he had been able to see through the clues of everything he encountered. Right now, he couldn't see anything at all.

Now trapped here, his connection with the Hongmeng World was weakening further. He didn't even know what was happening inside the Hongmeng World, and even if he wanted to self-destruct the Hongmeng World, it seemed difficult to do so.

Just as he was pondering, Lin Moyu's clone condensed another Soul-Slaying Arrow. Emperor Zijin's expression changed drastically; if a few more arrows came, he would truly die.

He had to fight for his life. Currently, only by breaking through this formation and re-establishing contact with the Hongmeng World could he know what was happening there. If things were truly irreversible, he would rather self-destruct the world than let Lin Moyu have his way; at worst, they would perish together.

Killing intent surged in Emperor Zijin as he took out another pill and crushed it. His eyes were filled with immense pain; this pill was hard to come by, but compared to his life, it wasn't important. Under the effect of the pill, Emperor Zijin's aura surged rapidly.

The pitch-black arrow tore through the void and accurately struck his soul. His surging aura was forced to be interrupted. Having been struck by the Soul-Slaying Arrow, the effect of the pill was significantly weakened, failing to restore him to his peak and only recovering more than half.

He took out his water basin magic treasure, his chest burst open, creating a wound. A large amount of blood sprayed from the wound and poured into the basin. He used his own blood to replace the water in the basin. "Space-time distortion, world imprints, endless powerhouses at my command, emerge!" The basin overturned, and blood fell like a waterfall.

Countless worlds floated within the blood, and one powerhouse after another flew out. The world imprints branded in the water basin from the Chessboard of All Living Beings had already decreased significantly; now, the number of powerhouses was less than one-third.

But it was still astonishing. The formation activated, and countless attacks rained down, clashing with these powerhouses. Little Tree waved its branches, joining the fray, and Emperor Zijin also attacked frantically.

He spared no cost, wanting to break out of the formation's encirclement. Lin Moyu's clone did not use the Soul-Slaying Arrow again; he kept repairing the formation, his eyes flashing with a sharp light—now was not the time to kill Emperor Zijin.

Inside the Hongmeng World, Lin Moyu finally saw the world core: an eighteen-story pagoda plus a palace. Compared to the last time he saw it, the pagoda had one less story, and the palace had collapsed even further.

At this moment, trillions of Undead Spirit Soldiers were slaughtering the living beings within the Hongmeng World. Lin Moyu was cold and ruthless; this was a battle between worlds. If he failed, the living beings in his Ten Directions Realm would die, the living beings in the Chaos Ancient Wilderness would not be spared, and the Yushen World would also change masters. In a battle between worlds, there was no morality to speak of.

Only one could survive. Killing the living beings in the Hongmeng World was to make it easier for him to refine the world core. At this moment, with the living beings being slaughtered, resentment soared to the heavens, and the entire world suffered unimaginable calamity, as if a natural disaster had descended.

Everything happened too suddenly. The Undead Spirit Soldiers descending from outside the heavens held their butcher knives high, slaughtering world after world. The Hongmeng World was vast, containing countless Small Worlds and Domains, but facing trillions of Undead Spirit Soldiers, it still suffered heavy casualties in a short time.

Lin Moyu altered the laws of the world, compressed space, changed distances, and used the laws as a guide, allowing the Undead Spirit Soldiers to cross long distances in a short time and spread throughout the Hongmeng World. The soaring resentment within the world pounded against the world core, making the world more fragile. Doing this could weaken the power of the world, making the refinement process smoother.

Several of Emperor Zijin's clones guarding the world core charged, pouncing toward Lin Moyu. With a thought, the Chessboard of All Living Beings unfolded, trapping them within.

There was no need to waste effort killing them; after all, they were Emperor Zijin's clones, and truly killing them wouldn't be easy. Even using the scepter of calamity would take several strikes, which was time-consuming and laborious. The simplest method was to trap them so they wouldn't come to disturb him. Once he finished his task, these clones would naturally cease to exist.

Passing by the clones, Lin Moyu arrived before the world core. The world core erupted with immense power, clearly resisting Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu waved his hand, and the Hongmeng Purple Fire descended, covering the sky and earth, turning into a sea of fire that engulfed the world core.

The world core immediately emitted a shrill sound; it was afraid, trembling in the sea of fire. It did not want to be refined, but it was useless. Facing the Hongmeng Purple Fire, it had no other possibility.

He wondered if the Hongmeng Purple Fire could advance further after refining the Hongmeng World. This was, after all, a complete Hongmeng World, incomparable to world remains. The Hongmeng Purple Fire becoming stronger was inevitable, but whether it could evolve again was hard to say. Moreover, Lin Moyu didn't know what the Hongmeng Purple Fire would become if it advanced further.

The world core shrieked incessantly. The power of the world was being devoured and refined, becoming weaker and weaker, but the resentment within the world became even denser. As living beings died, resentment soared to the heavens, pounding against the entire world and subverting the world's causality.

After Lin Moyu refined the world, these living beings would have had no way to survive anyway. Now, Lin Moyu was simply sending them on their way a bit earlier; in Lin Moyu's view, it was merely a matter of dying a little earlier or a little later.

As for the world's causality, if the world was gone, what causality could there be? Emperor Zijin had survived two Great Destruction Eras; who knew how many worlds he had destroyed and how many living beings he had slaughtered. Even if there was causality, at this moment, it was not the cause, but the fruit of the past.

Calamity descended upon the world, and the Hongmeng World rapidly became weak. The Hongmeng Purple Fire grew stronger, and the refining speed was gradually accelerating. Outside the Yushen World, Emperor Zijin had been unable to break through the encirclement for a long time.

The Power of Belief was dropping at an alarming rate. His expression became extremely ugly, and a hint of despair appeared in his eyes. He had fallen into the trap set by Lin Moyu; his connection with the Hongmeng World was weakening, and he could not control the Hongmeng World.

Yet the weakening Power of Belief was already telling him what was happening inside the Hongmeng World. He knew that he would likely not escape death today, but he was unclear about what Lin Moyu intended to do.

To kill him, he shouldn't need to go to such lengths. He could never have imagined that Lin Moyu possessed the Hongmeng Purple Fire, which could refine worlds, and also possessed the heaven-defying technique Heaven Exploding Earth Splitting, which could reenact the creation of a world. Despair filled his heart, and cracks appeared in his Dao Heart.

And they grew rapidly. He exhausted all means, but was ultimately unable to escape. The Soul-Slaying Arrow remained locked onto him, and even if he wanted to self-destruct, he couldn't. He was the fish and meat, and Lin Moyu was the knife and chopping board. Two days later, the Hongmeng World was completely refined.

Only the world core, now turned into an empty shell, remained. Emperor Zijin felt a pain in his heart; he had completely lost his connection with the Hongmeng World. Chapter 4816: Resurrection Failed.
