Thunder engulfed the great trees; the Angry Thunder Formation group displayed astonishing power, leaving the Dao Venerable 1st Realm members of the Hundred Herbs Alliance with no power to fight back.

The two great trees erupted with astonishing power, roaring wildly within the formation, their roots piercing into the formation, attempting to destroy the formation base.

If it were an ordinary 5th-rank formation, perhaps they really would have destroyed it, but Lin Moyu's formation had not only transcended the scope of a 5th-rank formation but also formed a formation group, making it very difficult to destroy.

Their counterattacks were destined to be futile.

Two emerald green Great Daos emerged around them, and the power of the Great Dao showered down immense vitality, repairing their injuries.

However, no matter how fast the power of the Great Dao repaired them, it could not keep up with the speed of the thunder's destruction.

If they were not plant-type creatures with extremely powerful vitality and recovery abilities, they would have been killed by the Angry Thunder Formation very quickly.

Gu Qingxuan was amazed by the power of the formation; this was the formation that Lin Moyu had described as having "so-so" power.

At the same time, she was also a bit worried. "The records say the Hundred Herbs Alliance is extremely united; offending one is equivalent to offending them all. Will we be in danger if we do this?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "On the Origin Continent, everything has its dangers, but there are some things you cannot avoid doing just because they are dangerous."

"Just like now, if I let them leave, that would be the true danger."

"Only by killing them can we ensure they don't pass any information back."

Gu Qingxuan nodded slightly; she naturally understood Lin Moyu's thoughts.

Lin Moyu smiled. "Compared to the Great World, the Origin Continent is truly a place where the weak are prey to the strong."

"And one must never lower their guard. Just like these two guys, looking at them, it seems like they are finished, but it is actually far from it."

"Many people think that because the Hundred Herbs Alliance are plant-type creatures, they don't have any magical treasures, but that is a huge mistake."

"Many members of the Hundred Herbs Alliance share a common trait: they possess a companion magical treasure."

"This treasure is naturally born and nurtured, shares the same realm as them, and possesses immense power."

"However, they generally do not use their magical treasures; they prefer to nurture them. They only use them in life-or-death situations."

"Just watch. In a while, when they feel despair, they will naturally use their magical treasures."

"But I guess that before they use their treasures, they will first threaten us."

Lin Moyu was very patient as he explained to Gu Qingxuan. Everything he said was not in the records. Gu Qingxuan pricked up her ears and listened to every word, like a diligent student.

Just as Lin Moyu had said, before long, a deep, heavy voice echoed from within the formation. Even the boundless thunder could hardly block their voices.

"We are Dao Venerables of the Hundred Herbs Alliance. Killing us is equivalent to offending the entire alliance. If you stop now and let us leave, we will treat this matter as if it never happened."

Gu Qingxuan asked, "What should we do?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "I have handed the management of this place over to the Human Emperor. Let the Human Emperor handle it; trust him."

Anyone who came out of the Great World trusted the Human Emperor implicitly.

Since he could manage the entire Great World in an orderly fashion, such a matter was naturally a piece of cake.

Sure enough, the Human Emperor did not respond, but the power of the formation became even stronger.

This was the Human Emperor's response: his intent to kill was absolute.

The Hundred Herbs Alliance Dao Venerables struggled and threatened a bit more, but the result remained unchanged; the Human Emperor turned a deaf ear.

The injuries on the two great trees became increasingly severe; their entire bodies were charred, and there was not a single patch of intact bark left.

Most of their vines and branches were broken; they were not far from death.

At the final moment of life and death, they finally used their companion magical treasures.

A streak of emerald green light swept out from the lightning, unfurling like a curtain to prop up a space for them to survive.

The green light came from a vibrant green branch. This branch was different from ordinary branches; it came from within their own bodies.

This was their companion magical treasure, and also their life-bound magical treasure; its power was incomparable.

After using their magical treasures, they gained a chance to breathe.

Lin Moyu explained. "Do you know? In fact, on the Origin Continent, many people are hunting members of the Hundred Herbs Alliance. These people are known as Heaven Treasure Hunters."

"Heaven Treasures refer to their companion magical treasures. Although these treasures are not as good as true Innate Magical Treasures, they are much stronger than forged magical treasures and are of extremely high value."

"As a result, some people started targeting them, hunting members of the Hundred Herbs Alliance to obtain their companion magical treasures."

Gu Qingxuan asked, "Then are we going to hunt for their treasures as well?"

Lin Moyu chuckled. "Why not? Since they delivered themselves to our doorstep, it would be a waste not to take them. However, besides the Heaven Treasures, there is something even more important to me…"

Gu Qingxuan asked in confusion, "What?"

Lin Moyu smiled. "You will know when the time comes."

Lin Moyu kept her in suspense, but Gu Qingxuan did not mind; she would know in a while anyway.

With her cold and detached nature, her curiosity was not that strong; knowing sooner or later made no difference.

The Human Emperor strengthened the power of the formation once again. In Lin Moyu's view, the power of the Angry Thunder Formation group had already reached about fifty percent.

Fifty percent of its power was enough to deal with two Dao Venerable 1st Realm guys.

The area covered by the green light was being eroded by the thunder and would soon fail.

Taking advantage of this time, both great trees had recovered quite a bit.

Plant-type creatures are truly unique in terms of recovery; they possess advantages that other creatures cannot compare to.

However, this point alone was not enough to escape.

At this moment, the other great tree used its companion magical treasure.

Its companion magical treasure emerged from within its trunk, taking the form of a small, ink-green sword.

When Gu Qingxuan saw the small sword, she instinctively let out a low gasp.

This small sword made her feel uncomfortable; just by glancing at it, she felt as if her soul was about to be corroded.

Lin Moyu said, "Extremes meet. When vitality reaches its peak, it turns into a deadly poison."

"This sword is the same. Its vitality has reached the extreme, becoming a poison capable of corroding everything. This sword is strong, but it is not enough to break my formation!"

Lin Moyu had great confidence in his formation; it was not something that could be broken just because one wanted to.

The ink-green small sword danced in the air, scattering a large expanse of ink-green light.

The ink-green color, which made one's soul tremble, wove into an ink-green ocean in the air, attempting to corrode the formation.

A large amount of thunder was corroded, and even the space began to distort. The formation vibrated ceaselessly, as if it would collapse soon.

However, the formation did not truly collapse; it still persisted stubbornly.

By now, Gu Qingxuan clearly saw that the two Dao Venerables of the Hundred Herbs Alliance would surely die today.

Lin Moyu said, "The Human Emperor has probably tested the power of the formation enough; he should be about to go for the kill."

Gu Qingxuan's beautiful eyes widened. "This is not even the full power of the formation?"

Lin Moyu said, "Naturally. This is at most half. If the Human Emperor hadn't wanted to test and familiarize himself with the formation, they would have been dead long ago!"

Chapter 2716: How Poor Your Taste Is

Lin Moyu understood the Human Emperor too well. Shortly after he finished speaking, the power of the formation suddenly increased by a notch.

Previously, only fifty percent of its power had been used, but now it had increased to seventy percent.

A twenty percent increase might not seem like much, but for the two Dao Venerables of the Hundred Herbs Alliance, it was a catastrophe.

Bolts of thunder dragons flew out from the formation, and the formation group roared. The entire valley trembled violently. The origin spirit vein served as the foundation, protecting the entire city, which was why the city did not collapse.

Thunder surged in from all directions, obliterating the green essence and swallowing them up.

"Kill me, and you will regret it!"

"The Hundred Herbs Alliance will not let you off!"

"I Curse you! Your soul will fall into hell and never be reincarnated!"

The final Curse echoed from within the thunder, and a gray light suddenly appeared above Lin Moyu's head.

At the moment of their death, the two Dao Venerables of the Hundred Herbs Alliance launched a Curse at Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu wore a look of slight disdain. "Hell? Hell does not dare to take me!"

He pointed his finger, and Bone Hell appeared silently, enveloping the gray light. The Hell Fierce Spirits, draped in flames, took bite after bite, eating the Curse clean until nothing was left.

This is what it means to eat anything; even if it is a Curse, the Hell Fierce Spirits will eat it without hesitation.

So far, it has not been discovered that there is anything the Hell Fierce Spirits cannot eat.

Two extremely inconspicuous specks of light flew out from the thunder silently and noiselessly. The specks of light passed through the formation and flew off in different directions.

The specks of light were too small, so small that even the Human Emperor did not notice them, let alone anyone else.

Only Lin Moyu sensed the existence of the specks of light, and he immediately left his mark on them.

"Let's go; I'll take you to find some treasure."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly and took Gu Qingxuan to fly into the distance.

Gu Qingxuan knew that what Lin Moyu wanted to find was the thing he had mentioned earlier.

However, she clearly hadn't seen anything, but since Lin Moyu said there was, there definitely was; she just needed to follow him.

The two passed by the edge of the sea of thunder, which was gradually weakening and would soon disappear.

Gu Qingxuan asked, "How will these two Heaven Treasures be handled?"

Lin Moyu said, "The Human Emperor will handle it. He will probably throw them into the warehouse and distribute them as prizes later."

"However, not everyone can wield a Heaven Treasure; the Human Emperor will naturally have corresponding criteria for judgment."

Lin Moyu trusted the Human Emperor unconditionally. It wasn't just Lin Moyu; everyone who came here felt the same.

The formation opened automatically, and the thunder automatically parted to create a passage. Lin Moyu took Gu Qingxuan and flew out from within the thunder, leaving the valley.

The people in Yudao City watched this scene, each of them speechless for a long time.

The battle just now was truly spectacular.

Every bit of leaked power was enough to kill them instantly.

If this kind of power erupted in the Great World, countless star systems would be destroyed by it.

Most of the people who could come here possessed great talent and considered themselves geniuses.

But after witnessing the battle just now, all of their small pride was wiped away.

Who didn't know that the battle just now was actually intentionally arranged by the Human Emperor?

The Human Emperor wanted to crush their arrogance and let them see how terrifying the strong in the Origin Continent were. Otherwise, he could have opened the formation fully from the beginning, and the two Dao Venerables would not have lasted long at all.

Finally, someone came back to their senses and realized that throughout the entire battle, Lin Moyu and Gu Qingxuan had been watching from a close distance without appearing disheveled in the slightest.

Gu Qingxuan could not have such strong power; this could only mean that the person with Gu Qingxuan was incomparably powerful.

"Who exactly is that person? How can he be so strong!"

Everyone present was intelligent, and some had already guessed Lin Moyu's identity. "I guess it must be 'That Person'."

"You mean, the legendary 'That Person'?"

"Who else could it be besides him?"

Lin Moyu was a legend in the Great World; he had once easily killed a Heavenly Venerate while still in the Supreme Realm.

He could be considered an unquestionable powerhouse in the Great World.

Although he had not appeared again for many years, his stories had always been circulating in the Great World.

The Human Emperor had even compiled Lin Moyu's deeds into books and spread them throughout the Great World.

Lin Moyu's name had long been deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

And many cultivators often used 'That Person' to replace the three characters of Lin Moyu's name.

Lin Moyu had no idea that he had also become 'That Person' in many people's mouths.

When Lin Feng heard others discussing Lin Moyu's identity, a wave of jealousy surged in his heart.

He stared fixedly at the figures of Lin Moyu and Gu Qingxuan leaving together, his fists clenched tightly. "Even if you were amazing in the past, that is only the past."

"Now that we have both arrived at the Origin Continent, I will surpass you sooner or later and trample you under my feet."

"Gu Qingxuan, I will let you know how outstanding I am and how poor your taste is!"

Although there was jealousy in Lin Feng's heart, he showed nothing on the surface; like everyone else, there was only shock in his eyes.

The battle ended, and the Human Emperor's voice rang in everyone's ears once again, assigning what everyone needed to do next.

The Human Emperor already had a detailed plan for this; he just needed to proceed step by step.

Outside the valley, Lin Moyu flew slowly with Gu Qingxuan; he was not flying very fast.

Lin Moyu was tracking his own mark and was not in a hurry at all.

Gu Qingxuan was thinking about some things, and doubt arose in her tone. "I have a question. I don't know if I should ask."

Lin Moyu smiled. "There is no need to be so formal between us. Feel free to ask anything; as long as I can tell you, I will."

Gu Qingxuan asked, "Why did you bring us out? We can't help you with anything."

Lin Moyu revealed a slight smile. "I thought it was some profound question; so it was just this."

"Actually, it is very simple. You coming out is beneficial for both you and me. Standing at different heights, the scenery one can see is naturally different. You think you cannot help me, that is because the height you are standing at is not high enough."
