“There is no difference. Although he is not weak, he is, after all, only a Great Venerable.” Huntian Desolate Dragon sneered, “He is not an ordinary Great Venerable.”

"Back when he was not yet a Great Venerable, I tried to kill him several times but failed." Dao suddenly interjected, "That's because you are too useless."

Huntian Desolate Dragon was clearly angered. "I had my reservations at the time. Furthermore, it was not the best time to kill him."

The other two understood what he meant. Lin Moyu was an Enemy of the World and also a calamity bearer. However, Lin Moyu did not have enough karma back then. Even if they killed Lin Moyu, the rewards would have been limited. To Huntian Desolate Dragon, Lin Moyu was someone who could be killed or spared at the time, so he had probed him with an attack.

If he managed to kill him, he would gain rewards; if not, the loss was negligible. He just never expected that despite being careful enough, he would still be discovered, and after years of hiding, he was finally exposed.

Although he was very angry at the time, it didn't have much of an impact on Huntian Desolate Dragon. He had hidden for many years to secretly fuse with the rules of heaven and earth, hoping to achieve the Great Dao. However, despite countless years of effort, he never succeeded.

Gradually, he lost his patience. With the Great Tribulation arriving again, he knew very well that a battle was inevitable, so exposure was only a matter of time.

Huntian Desolate Dragon suddenly looked at Great Venerable Tianzai. "You have hidden even deeper than me, being able to achieve the Dao before this Great Tribulation. Your talent is indeed excellent." Dao dismissed this, "He just had better luck. Don't think that just because you've broken through, you can stand on equal footing with us."

Great Venerable Tianzai chuckled. "Senior Huntian Desolate Dragon is correct. Besides talent, my luck is also excellent. Just like last time, I deceived Senior Sky-Covering Beast and even injured him."

Huntian Desolate Dragon narrowed his eyes, looking slightly stunned. "You actually injured him?" Dao sneered, "You're pushing your luck. You think you can hurt me? I was just putting on a show for you." "Is that so?"

Great Venerable Tianzai narrowed his eyes, trying to see through Dao's facade. He clearly did not believe what Dao said.

The three of them sealed off the Divine Wood Sea and engaged in a war of words before taking action. Lin Moyu found it boring; in his view, if one could fight, there was no need to talk. These three were truly dragging things out. The three of them were wary of each other, each with their own schemes, waiting for something.

Lin Moyu naturally knew what they were waiting for—nothing more than the appearance of himself, the calamity bearer. They were completely unaware that Lin Mohan had already broken through to the Great Venerable level, reaching the same level as them. In their eyes, once he appeared, everyone would be present.

Since that was the case, Lin Moyu looked into the distance and moved his lips slightly, sending out a thought. The rules in the distance changed slightly.

At the same time, Lin Moyu removed his concealment and slowly revealed his figure. He had been very far away to begin with. In the eyes of Great Venerable Tianzai and the others, he had been hiding in the shadows. At this moment, Lin Moyu's eyes were glowing with a red light.

It seemed that, influenced by the Great Tribulation, his Dao Heart was difficult to control. This was normal; as a calamity bearer, he would naturally come to seek the Divine Wood Sea. After all, in their eyes, the Divine Wood Sea was the opportunity for the calamity bearer to achieve the Dao.

The calamity bearer could not just give up. However, the calamity bearer was also an opportunity for them to achieve the Dao. "Finally here," the three of them chuckled simultaneously, their laughter filled with killing intent.

Besides the Divine Wood Sea, Lin Moyu was also what they wanted. In their eyes, Lin Moyu's entire body was glowing with red light, as if shrouded in endless karma, remaining an Enemy of the World. Lin Moyu altered the rules of heaven and earth, continuing to disguise himself as an Enemy of the World.

The status of being an Enemy of the World combined with being a calamity bearer was enough to make these three guys fight to the death over him.

Dao struck first. A giant eye in the void looked over. The giant eye contained endless killing intent, and huge waves surged in space, intending to slay Lin Moyu.

This gaze was extremely fierce and enough to kill a Great Venerable instantly. Lin Moyu did not fight back because he knew very well that someone would act.

"It's not your turn to kill him!" Huntian Desolate Dragon roared, emitting bursts of dragon chants. The void that had surged with huge waves shattered, and Dao's attack was disintegrated. Huntian Desolate Dragon moved, appearing in front of Lin Moyu, and swung his massive dragon tail. Dao's giant eye blinked rapidly.

From within space, one giant beast after another flew out. These giant beasts were all powerful ancient creatures that had once been slain by Dao, but now, they seemed to have come alive, rushing out from the void.

Hundreds of powerful ancient creatures unleashed astonishing power, forcibly pushing back Huntian Desolate Dragon. They pursued and entangled Huntian Desolate Dragon. These guys were all very strong, no weaker than a Great Venerable.

In a one-on-one fight, they were no match for Huntian Desolate Dragon, but by joining forces, it would take some time for Huntian Desolate Dragon to kill them.

Huntian Desolate Dragon roared, "Impossible! These guys are already dead!" Dao sneered repeatedly, "What you call death might not necessarily be true death." Lin Moyu realized this must be Dao's ability. Dao's true form was the Sky-Covering Beast.

The Sky-Covering Beast was adept at manipulating space and possessed a highly mysterious ability regarding space, known as Space Mirror Birth. It turned space into a mirror, recording the imprints of living beings, and then used the power of space to summon the creatures in the mirror back out. The ancient creatures summoned by this Mirror Birth technique were no different from the original bodies for a short time. It was not surprising that Dao possessed such an ability.

Dao sneered, "You are surprised too early; there is more to be surprised about. Resurrection." The void instantly transformed into layers of mirror worlds, and countless more creatures rushed out from the mirrors. For a moment, it seemed as if all ancient creatures were present. Some creatures had not just one, but many heads; for instance, there were three Eternal Desolate Oxen.

Not only that, there were even two Huntian Desolate Dragons. A chaotic battle erupted in the void, and Huntian Desolate Dragon fell into heavy encirclement. Lin Moyu suddenly understood why the final victor back then was the Sky-Covering Beast. Rankings weren't necessarily accurate; this ability was terrifying.

Although Huntian Desolate Dragon was ranked first in combat power, if he fell into an encirclement, it was highly likely he would be exhausted to death.

Chapter 4751: The Mystery of Meng Anwen. Huntian Desolate Dragon was entangled. Dao looked at Lin Moyu again, his giant eye filled with coldness. "Enemy of the World, calamity bearer, Heaven and Earth Great Venerable… your identity is truly complex. You will become the stepping stone for me to achieve the Dao."

Lin Moyu remained expressionless, as if he felt nothing about Dao's words, his eyes still glowing with red light, putting on the appearance of being influenced by the Great Tribulation. To act, one must act the full part; the good show was just about to begin, so how could he stop now?

Dao struck again. Huge waves appeared in space once more. Suddenly, the waves rolled back, and space returned to calm. It was not spatial chaos, but space restoring itself to how it was a few moments ago.

Great Venerable Tianzai had acted. He manipulated time to reverse the time in this void, stopping Dao. Dao looked at Great Venerable Tianzai, anger rising. "Back then, you used some small tricks to deceive me. Today, I will slay you again." Great Venerable Tianzai said, "You are indeed very strong, but were you really only slightly injured back then?"

"So many years have passed; your injuries probably haven't recovered yet, have they?" Back then, Dao had been struck by the scepter of calamity, and it was not a light blow. The injury Dao sustained was not light, and after countless years, it might not have fully healed, but Dao would never admit to this.

He whispered, "You'll know if you try." In an instant, countless mirror surfaces appeared in the void, and a large number of ancient creatures rushed out from the mirrors, charging toward Great Venerable Tianzai.

Great Venerable Tianzai took out a fingernail-sized time essence stone. Time and space reversed, and time was instantly distorted, affecting the mirror surfaces. The time where the imprints inside were located became chaotic, and the ancient imprints were forcibly erased by Great Venerable Tianzai using the time essence stone.

The ancient creatures Dao had copied all dissipated. Great Venerable Tianzai said in a low voice, "Your techniques are useless against me."

"You are courting death!" With his technique broken, Dao's killing intent soared. A giant claw shattered space and reached toward Great Venerable Tianzai. Great Venerable Tianzai waved his hand, and time instantly stopped; the giant claw also came to a halt.

Great Venerable Tianzai seized the opportunity to dodge, then took out another fingernail-sized time essence stone. "Break!" With a low shout, the ancient creatures that were besieging Huntian Desolate Dragon all vanished. Huntian Desolate Dragon charged toward Dao with unconcealable killing intent.

At this moment, he only had Dao in his eyes. With his technique broken again, Dao was equally furious. But he had no heart to deal with Great Venerable Tianzai now and had to deal with Huntian Desolate Dragon with all his might. "Driving the tiger to devour the wolf—not a bad tactic,"

Lin Moyu said indifferently in his heart. Whether it was Huntian Desolate Dragon or Dao, both were creatures nurtured by heaven and earth after the first Great Tribulation. Although they possessed wisdom, they had one thing in common: they were easily impulsive, especially the beast-types among them.

Huntian Desolate Dragon and the Sky-Covering Beast were like this by nature. Although their power was strong, their impulsiveness came from the depths of their souls and had not been suppressed. Especially since the two were old enemies, the first thing Huntian Desolate Dragon did after escaping the encirclement was to use every means to kill Dao. Great Venerable Tianzai clearly knew this too; he seemed to be watching the show.

Seeing that he had no intention of acting, Lin Moyu decided to add fuel to the fire. He turned a blind eye to the great battle and flew toward the Divine Wood Sea. He knew that Great Venerable Tianzai would not attack him right now.

Because he still had utility to Great Venerable Tianzai. As the one bearing the backlash of those twelve formations, it was not yet his time to die. Great Venerable Tianzai didn't just want to kill him; he also wanted to kill Dao and Huntian Desolate Dragon.

At the same time, he wouldn't spare the Divine Wood Sea either. Lin Moyu had guessed Great Venerable Tianzai's thoughts. Only in this way could Great Venerable Tianzai be one hundred percent certain of becoming a Supreme Expert. Sure enough.

Great Venerable Tianzai did not act. He took out an array disk and activated it. It projected a large number of images. In the images, Meng Anwen, Bai Yiyuan, and others who hadn't been seen for years appeared one by one. They were in a great battle, fighting against a peculiar kind of creature.

Lin Moyu saw the images and his footsteps paused. Confusion appeared in his red-glowing eyes; he was still putting on a show for Great Venerable Tianzai. However, he was also thinking. In this image, Meng Anwen was not weak, at least much stronger than when he was in the Small World.

Meng Anwen was driving the Shenxia Tower. The Shenxia Tower manifested clones, building a large number of fortresses to battle against an unknown creature. That creature was very strong, destroying the fortresses one by one and obliterating all the formations Meng Anwen had set up. Lin Moyu thought of the Ancient Battlefield ruins he had seen in the Great World.

The two were exactly the same. So that was it. The thing he had never been able to figure out suddenly made sense. He knew why he had seen those Ancient Battlefield ruins in the Great World back then, but later could never find the source.

Even now, as he observed the whole world, he still hadn't found the source. Now, he finally understood that the reason for all this was Great Venerable Tianzai and the time essence stone. Back then, Great Venerable Tianzai had taken away the Small World.

But even for Great Venerable Tianzai, wanting to take away a Small World from a Domain without any damage was not easy, because that would violate the rules of heaven and earth. Great Venerable Tianzai wanted to hide himself, so he would not use his full strength. Great Venerable Tianzai used the time essence stone, but the time essence stone would cause chaos in time and space.

The chaos in time and space caused a portion of future events occurring within Great Venerable Tianzai's Domain to arrive in the Great World like a projection. The Ancient Battlefield ruins seen in the Great World were actually not things that happened in the Great World, but things that would happen in Great Venerable Tianzai's Domain at some point in the future.

Lin Moyu moved his consciousness and entered his Ten Directions Realm directly. The Origin Continent dove into the Great World, and he saw these Ancient Battlefield ruins again. With the flow of the rules of heaven and earth, Lin Moyu finally saw clearly that they were indeed projections. "It was my negligence."

Lin Moyu sighed in his heart that he hadn't gone to take another look later; otherwise, he should have been able to see the clues earlier. However, it was not too late now. It was now confirmed that the Small World was in Great Venerable Tianzai's Domain. As for whether Meng Anwen and the others were still alive…

It was hard to say; he could only hope they were still alive. Lin Moyu looked at the image projected by Great Venerable Tianzai and whispered, "It was you who took away my teacher."

Great Venerable Tianzai laughed heartily. "Fellow Daoist Lin, do not blame me. I was only doing it to protect them." Lin Moyu's eyes shone with red light. "Is my teacher still safe and sound?"

Great Venerable Tianzai said, "Rest assured, they are all living well. When I achieve the Dao, I will surely send you to reunite." This statement was ambiguous, which Lin Moyu naturally understood. If Great Venerable Tianzai wanted to achieve the Dao, Lin Moyu would most likely have to die. Once he died, Meng Anwen and the others would naturally have no value, and sending them to reunite would mean killing them.

Which meant killing them. Lin Moyu did not expose it and whispered, "What do you want me to do?" Great Venerable Tianzai said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed a person who values relationships. What you need to do is very simple."

"Just wait for my command to manipulate those twelve formations." In his view, Lin Moyu was only at the Great Venerable realm; wanting to deal with Dao was impossible, and he could only wait for the opportunity to manipulate the formations. Lin Moyu hesitated for a few moments and then nodded. "Very well. Those formations were originally set up by you."

"This was our plan from the beginning." He continued to put on the appearance of believing Great Venerable Tianzai, all to make Great Venerable Tianzai underestimate him. Chapter 4752: Everyone is Acting
