Chapter 4374: Call Me Old Ox

Just how big is the Chaos Desolate Ox? When he opened his mouth, it was boundless; Lin Moyu felt he could easily swallow a small Domain.

Lin Moyu also knew it wasn't convenient to talk here, so without much hesitation, he flew straight in.

With the strength of the Chaos Desolate Ox, if he really wanted to harm him, there was no need for such trouble.

He could easily kill him. The Chaos Desolate Ox's large mouth slowly closed, and everything around plunged into darkness.

A strange aura rushed towards him, but there was no foul smell in his mouth; Lin Moyu felt as if he had entered a Domain.

The Chaos Desolate Ox shouldn't have a Domain, yet that was the feeling. Light slowly appeared all around.

A gentle breeze carrying the scent of damp earth blew over, a very fresh feeling that made one feel relaxed and happy.

In the light, Lin Moyu saw a boundless, vast grassland. The green grass swayed in the wind, rolling like waves, and in the distance, a large tree stood tall in the middle of the grassland.

It looked extremely unique, yet not at all out of place. "Come here!"

The voice came from beside the tree. Lin Moyu walked over in response; there was a lake beside the tree.

A middle-aged man was sitting under the tree, and a small tea table was brewing fragrant tea; the scent of tea drifted far away.

Just by smelling it, one knew this tea was extraordinary. After entering the Chaos, this was the first time Lin Moyu had smelled such a tea fragrance.

Whether it be the living beings or the cultivators in the Chaos, everyone has different hobbies.

There aren't many people who like drinking tea. "Sit!"

The middle-aged man spoke concisely.

Lin Moyu knew he was the Chaos Desolate Ox, so he didn't stand on ceremony and went over to sit down. A cup of tea automatically floated in front of him.

The Chaos Desolate Ox said in a low voice, "Drink."

Lin Moyu didn't hesitate at all; he took the teacup and drank it in one gulp.

The fragrance of the tea was refreshing, and the tea was warm and moist, but as soon as it entered his stomach, it became scorching hot.

It exploded like thunder, turning into countless streams of heat flowing through his body, and then rushed into his Soul World.

It turned into a surging river, carrying rolling thunder as it headed straight for the Chaos Ancestral Tree, causing the Chaos Ancestral Tree to sway endlessly.

The figure of Little Tree appeared, and it lay directly on the tree roots, falling into a deep sleep. The whole process happened so fast that it didn't even have time to greet Lin Moyu.

Under the nourishment of the great river, the aura of the Chaos Ancestral Tree rose sharply. It had become stronger. A look of surprise appeared in Lin Moyu's eyes.

"Senior, this tea…"

"This tea has been waiting for you for countless years."

The Chaos Desolate Ox said in a low voice. Lin Moyu asked, "Senior, how are you certain that the person you were waiting for is me?"

"World-Burning Fire."

The Chaos Desolate Ox spat out four words, "The World-Burning Fire from the Mysterious Master."

To think he could determine his identity; the Mysterious Master was indeed not that simple, and definitely not just a Great Venerable in the Great World.

Lin Moyu asked, "Senior…"

The Chaos Desolate Ox interrupted him, "Call me Old Ox."

Lin Moyu gave a hum of acknowledgment, "Senior Old Ox."

The Chaos Desolate Ox interrupted Lin Moyu again, "Old Ox."

Lin Moyu understood what he meant, and also understood some of his personality, "Old Ox, do you know who the original owner of the World-Burning Fire was?"

Old Ox took a sip of tea. His tea was different from the cup Lin Moyu had just drunk; that cup of tea had been prepared for Lin Moyu, prepared for countless years.

He said in a low voice, "I know, but it's not important."

The implication was that he knew, but he wouldn't tell him.

Lin Moyu knew that asking further would not yield an answer; perhaps it was not yet time for him to know.

In fact, he still had many questions in his heart, such as about the Chaos Ancestral Tree; that cup of tea just now was clearly prepared for the Chaos Ancestral Tree.

This also meant that the other party knew of the existence of the Chaos Ancestral Tree, and the things that happened to him seemed to be part of a layout.

A layout intentionally created to counter the Dao. Lin Moyu even thought of himself, and Lin Mohan.

He, the person in the game assigned a mission, was like this, and his sister seemed to be the same.

Old Ox continued, "Don't think about it; you will know in the future."

His words were concise, and all contained deep meaning.

It was not the time for him to think about these questions now; even if he knew, it would be useless.

To break the game, the only viable path was to surpass the layout maker.

Old Ox said, "It's right there. You go and deal with it, so I can be liberated."

Following the direction Old Ox pointed, Lin Moyu saw a formation in the distant void.

This formation was shrouded in lightning, appearing and disappearing. After watching for a while, he indeed discovered the handiwork of Great Venerable Tianzai.

Look, a leaf drifted down, landing right in front of Lin Moyu and hovering there.

Old Ox said, "Everything that can be said is here. After I leave, then…"

Lin Moyu already understood what he meant. He had waited here for many years, and now it was finally time for liberation.

"Hurry up and finish your business, then get out of here. Don't waste time here."

Lin Moyu put away the leaf. He knew Old Ox couldn't be liberated at all; at most, he had completed the mission from back then.

This layout would continue for a long time.

Lin Moyu said, "Old Ox, there is a Chaos Lone Roc on the stone outside. Can you let him go?"

"Chaos Lone Roc?" Old Ox thought for a moment.

His gaze swept over, seemingly checking something. There were countless stones around him, and many stones had living beings on them; the Chaos Lone Roc was just one of them, completely inconspicuous.

To Old Ox, he had never paid any attention to it. After a few breaths, Old Ox seemed to have seen that Chaos Lone Roc.

"Alright, I've already let him scram."

Lin Moyu was a bit gossipy inside. He wondered what kind of grudge this Chaos Lone Roc had with him; they seemed very afraid of him.

A look of contemplation appeared in Old Ox's eyes, as if he was trying to search through his vast memory for what Lin Moyu was talking about. Perhaps this matter was a trivial, insignificant thing to him.

But for the Chaos Lone Roc clan, it must have been an unforgettable, major event.

Although Old Ox didn't like to talk, he was polite enough to him, which was why Lin Moyu asked, mainly because he was curious.

A moment later, Old Ox seemed to have found the answer, "Many years ago, those guys clashed with me, and then I killed most of them, and the rest fled."

Lin Moyu asked, "Why did they want to find you?"

Old Ox shook his head, "I don't know. Just a bunch of trash."

The implication was, how could he know the thoughts of trash?

Anyway, the trash came to his door, he killed most of them, and the remaining few fled. It was that simple.

Well, the Chaos Lone Roc clan had once thought about competing for the position of Great Venerable, so their power must not be weak. He didn't expect that in Old Ox's mouth, they were just trash.

Lin Moyu continued to ask, "We are talking here, won't it know?"

Old Ox said, "Its power level hasn't surpassed mine, so naturally it won't know."

The details are in the leaf. This was the second expulsion order, and Lin Moyu knew he was unwilling to say more.

He slowly stood up, "Then I'll go over."

Old Ox gave a hum, and with a casual point, a layer of lightning covered Lin Moyu.

That formation was shrouded in lightning. If it weren't for Old Ox's lightning, he probably wouldn't even be able to get close. He cupped his hands to Old Ox and flew towards the formation.

A moment later, he had arrived before the formation. Looking at the formation from close range, he could see the handiwork of Great Venerable Tianzai more clearly.

This formation was seventy to eighty percent similar to the formation in the Divine Phoenix Clan; they came from the same source. Lin Moyu only looked at it for a while before diving into the formation.

He began to refine it. Refining the formation was not a difficult task for Lin Moyu, and it wouldn't take long to complete.

Old Ox continued to drink tea, his gaze revealing an indescribable meaning, and finally, he slowly closed his eyes.

Chapter 4375: It's Still a Matter of Strength

The wind here seemed to have grown a bit stronger. In just a few days, this formation that had existed for countless years had already been refined by Lin Moyu.

The lightning outside the formation disappeared; Old Ox had withdrawn the lightning. Lin Moyu had a flash of inspiration.

He injected a ball of World-Burning Fire into the formation, shrouding the entire formation within it. The voice of Old Ox came to his ears, "I'm leaving."

The scene before his eyes changed, and Lin Moyu discovered he had returned to the Chaos void.

The huge Chaos Desolate Ox had disappeared; there was no spatial fluctuation, and he didn't know how he had left.

In front of Lin Moyu was a small Domain. This Domain was hidden in the void, trapped in a spatial rift.

It was hidden very deeply. The formation was inside the Domain and was shrouded by the World-Burning Fire, making it even harder for people to discover.

Apart from a leaf, Old Ox had not left any information.

Lin Moyu moved his consciousness, injecting his soul into the leaf, and the leaf automatically turned into dust and dissipated.

At the same time, a massive amount of information flowed into his Soul World: The Chaos Desolate Ox came from the Ancient Wilderness.

Like the Primordial Insect, it possessed a trace of a unique power, and this power was known as Primordial Desolate Thunder.

The power level of the Primordial Desolate Thunder was equivalent to the power level of the Dao, so Great Venerable Tianzai handed this formation to the Chaos Desolate Ox, which could avoid the investigation of the Dao.

The Chaos Desolate Ox became one of them, participated in this layout, and guarded the formation for countless years.

Until his arrival. Just as Lin Moyu had thought, the Chaos Desolate Ox had not been liberated.

His mission had only come to an end for now. This time, he was leaving to go to the Ancient Wilderness.

He should be going to meet up with Master Tianxu and the others, waiting for that final battle.

That cup of tea was called desolate water, and it was refined using the essence of ancestral water combined with many precious materials, including those extremely rare treasures from the Ancient Wilderness, from ancient times to the present.

From the Ancient Wilderness to the Chaos, there was only this one cup, this cup of desolate water.

No one else could drink it; only the owner of the Chaos Ancestral Tree could drink it. If someone else drank it, there was only one possibility: their body would die and their Dao would vanish.

In other words, the desolate water was prepared for the Chaos Ancestral Tree.

As for its specific use, the leaf only said it was of great use to the Chaos Ancestral Tree; it did not explicitly state what its specific use was.

However, it could be seen from this how far-reaching the layout of Great Venerable Tianzai and the others was.

They even calculated the Chaos Ancestral Tree into it; after all, they knew very well that what they had to deal with was the Dao.

It was the most difficult guy to deal with in the Chaos.

Lin Moyu looked at this information, and felt a bit curious again.

Why was the Chaos Desolate Ox willing to join in? If he went far away to the Ancient Wilderness, he shouldn't be in any danger.

Moreover, he wasn't like others who wanted to overturn this heaven. Was there any secret hidden within it?

Besides this information, the leaf also recorded some information about this formation and the Domain. This Domain was nurtured by Great Venerable Tianzai using a Domain seed.

From the very beginning of the Domain's gestation, the Chaos Desolate Ox had injected it with Primordial Desolate Thunder. Although the Domain was not large, its level was extremely high.
