Xiao Peng sighed, “My strength is too weak; I can only do this much.”

Lin Moyu nodded. "That is enough!"

As he spoke, he took out the cause-seeking ring.

"Effect Without Cause. For the next half hour, I will suffer no harm."

The cause-seeking ring was activated, and the power of cause and effect permeated the air. The cause-seeking ring was one of Lin Moyu's trump cards.

Its utility was immense; it could be used to avoid danger or to fight against enemies.

Furthermore, the effect of the cause-seeking ring was extremely unreasonable. As long as one could withstand the backlash it brought, it was practically a heaven-defying existence.

It could be called a cheat device. However, Lin Moyu could undergo Rebirth time and time again.

In his hands, the cause-seeking ring became a terrifying object. Currently, Lin Moyu knew his strength was insufficient.

He could not use the cause-seeking ring recklessly yet; he could only utilize slightly less unreasonable cause-and-effect, at least within a range he could withstand.

The power of the backlash surged toward him. Before the cause and effect was established, Lin Moyu's body shattered with a boom.

He was smashed to pieces, but in the next breath, he immediately underwent Rebirth, only to be smashed to pieces again.

Dying time and again, undergoing Rebirth time and again, Lin Moyu endured it silently.

Xiao Peng seemed to have grown accustomed to his father being this way. He remained silent as he carried Lin Moyu toward their destination. The earlier summoning of the ancestor…

…had played a small role, delaying them for a short time, though the consumption was also significant.

At this moment, Xiao Peng's aura was slightly unstable. After all, he was only at the Half-Step Chaos stage, and being able to summon a strike from a Perfection-level Expert ancestor…

…consumed an astonishing amount of blood essence, requiring a long time to recover. The newly arrived Yu Dragon Python saw Lin Moyu experiencing life and death from afar.

For a moment, he was confused, not knowing what Lin Moyu was doing, but it did not matter.

He extended his claw to strike at Lin Moyu. Above his head, the Domain treasure bloomed with colorful light, and a giant claw crossed the void.

It descended toward Lin Moyu's head. Lin Moyu had just completed his Rebirth; seeing the giant claw, he immediately stored Xiao Peng in his storage space.

It did not matter if he was hit; at worst, he would just die one more time, but Xiao Peng could not afford that.

The strike of a Perfection-level Expert using a Domain treasure was astonishingly powerful. Lin Moyu was struck in the gap between his Rebirths.

He was instantly reduced to ashes, but before the two Dragon Pythons could be happy for even half a second, purple light flashed.

Lin Moyu had already completed his Rebirth, then he died again. The backlash from the cause-seeking ring was still not over.

Lin Moyu had not died enough yet. The Yu Dragon Python used the Domain treasure to join the attack, killing Lin Moyu time and again.

In total, Lin Moyu died seventy or eighty times before the backlash of the cause-seeking ring was finally exhausted.

The Effect Without Cause was established. A peculiar aura rose from Lin Moyu's body, just as the Yu Dragon Python's new attack descended.

Lin Moyu did nothing. This attack was suddenly influenced by some external force, plunging into the void and disappearing.

"Eh?" The Yu Dragon Python was very confused; what was happening before his eyes left him bewildered.

But confusion aside, his hands did not stop, and he continued his attacks.

Having fought until now, he was truly enraged; he did not believe he could not kill Lin Moyu.

But the second attack was just like the previous one; when it approached Lin Moyu…

…it suddenly disappeared. Lin Moyu revealed a smile; the cause-seeking ring truly had not disappointed him.

Once the cause and effect was established, he was invincible for this half hour. He could attack others…

…while others' attacks could not harm him, unless—Lin Moyu speculated…

…the power of the cause-seeking ring should belong to another level, the same level as the Dao, unless someone possessing power of the same level attacked him.

Otherwise, even a Great Venerable could do nothing to him. Where did these attacks from the Yu Dragon Python go?

How the cause-seeking ring protected him from harm was something Lin Moyu did not care about at all; as long as it worked, that was enough.

Ignoring the Yu Dragon Python's attacks, he flapped the Wings of Chaos and flew toward the location of the Cross-Domain Array, while simultaneously putting away all his Undead Servants.

Because of the cause-seeking ring, he was invincible for half an hour and did not need to continue dragging out the fight with the Hong Dragon Python.

He openly let the two attack him; in any case, they could not harm him in the slightest. This was Lin Moyu's confidence.

It was also his confidence in the cause-seeking ring. Attack after attack fell, and without exception, they all disappeared upon approaching Lin Moyu.

The two Perfection-level Experts, the ancestors of the East Pole Dragon Python, could not understand it no matter how they tried.

They had absolutely no idea what was happening. "What the hell!"

"What kind of method did this guy use? Why is it like this?!"

"I don't know. This guy has a big secret."

The two roared repeatedly, but it was to no avail. Roar!

Suddenly, a beast's roar resounded. A huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the void, and space shattered in response.

A peculiar aura flowed out from the shattered space—it was the aura of the Ancient Wilderness!

Lin Moyu's heart stirred. How could the aura of the Ancient Wilderness appear here? He suddenly recalled that the attacks on him seemed to have been sucked away by space.

Chapter 4379: Desolate Shadow Beast

It was as if they had fallen into a spatial rift. Could it be that they went to the Ancient Wilderness? The thought had just arisen…

…when the void completely shattered. Everything became chaotic, and even the deepest layers of space turned into powder.

Spatial turbulence rushed out like a tsunami, and at the same time, huge vortices appeared. Lin Moyu was sucked in before he could even react.

"How could this happen?!" Inside the vortex, Lin Moyu spun out of control.

His thoughts were the same. He did not understand what had happened. Had the cause-seeking ring failed?

The cause-seeking ring had not failed; he was indeed uninjured, as he could feel.

The vortex contained astonishing power, but strangely, it did not harm him. The Chaos space had shattered.

It shattered completely—more completely than one could imagine, layer upon layer.

He did not know how many layers of space there were; they were smashed to pieces, just like glass being shattered.

Then it was crushed into powder, and in the end, not even the powder remained. This was the first time Lin Moyu had seen space shattered in such a way.

As far as he knew, the deepest layer of the Chaos space was filled with spatial turbulence, not the kind of spatial turbulence found in Domains or Great Worlds.

The spatial turbulence in the deepest layer of Chaos gathered a massive amount of power from the laws of the Chaos Dao, and it was of the extremely chaotic kind, possessing astonishing destructive power.

Even a race like the East Pole Dragon Python, which possessed spatial talents, could not freely travel through the spatial turbulence; being able to survive within it was already considered quite remarkable.

And the time would not be very long. As for what lay beyond the spatial turbulence, perhaps only a Great Venerable knew.

Today, Lin Moyu had finally seen it—what lay beyond the spatial turbulence.

There were many vortices, and beneath the vortices, there seemed to be a giant beast.

Earlier, because of the cause-seeking ring, the attacks from the Hong Dragon Python and the Yu Dragon Python had all passed through the shattered space…

…and landed on this giant beast, and then this giant beast had become enraged and crushed the space.

It had sucked him in. Not just him, but all the surrounding East Pole Dragon Pythons were sucked in without exception.

The two Perfection-level Experts, the Hong Dragon Python and the Yu Dragon Python, had not been spared either. Even at the very last moment, Lin Moyu had seen the Cross-Domain Array.

The Cross-Domain Array slowly emerged from the shattered void, its defenses fully activated, and cracks appeared once again in the array that had just been repaired.

A previous mystery was suddenly solved: the reason the Cross-Domain Array had shattered seemed to be related to this giant beast.

What was the origin of this giant beast?

While spinning in the vortex, Lin Moyu tried hard to keep his thoughts clear.

Besides the whistling sound, there were vaguely some other sounds coming through; he listened carefully.

Distinguishing them one by one, he roughly knew where the sounds came from—they were screams.

Intermingled with screams similar to dragon roars, they came from the East Pole Dragon Pythons. It seemed the East Pole Dragon Pythons that had been sucked in with him were dead.

And many had died. The speed of the vortex's rotation was getting faster and faster, and Lin Moyu had a vague feeling.

He was about to reach the end of the vortex. As the speed increased, the scene before his eyes actually became clearer.

He could vaguely see the situation outside the vortex. Previously, he could only sense it, but now he could see it with his naked eye.

The rotation speed was getting faster and faster, and the image of the outside world became increasingly clear. He saw other vortices.

In those vortices, broken bones were floating; the East Pole Dragon Pythons that had been sucked in with him were being torn to pieces by the power within the vortices.

Not just their bodies, but also their souls—the deaths were extremely tragic. Lin Moyu saw that in two of the vortices…

…two East Pole Dragon Pythons were still alive. They were none other than the Hong Dragon Python and the Yu Dragon Python, and they were struggling.

They seemed to want to break free from the vortex, but their struggles were to no avail. The power in the vortex was slicing them like a thousand cuts.

Pieces of flesh were being cut off, blood was flying in the vortex, and they were howling in pain.

But it was useless; the power in the vortex was not something they could resist. Scream after scream followed.

Lin Moyu listened carefully; it wasn't just screaming, they seemed to be saying something.

"Shadow… Beast… Black… Desolate!"

The voices were intermittent, but Lin Moyu still heard some information. They were calling out the name of this giant beast, seemingly begging for mercy.

Unfortunately, this giant beast did not pay any attention to them. Lin Moyu finally knew that this giant beast was called the Desolate Shadow Beast.

Whether that was correct or not, Lin Moyu did not know, but at least that was what those two guys called it. Under the tearing of the vortex…

…the Hong Dragon Python and the Yu Dragon Python ultimately could not hold on. One minute before reaching the end, their bodies and souls were torn to pieces.

Lin Moyu clearly sensed their auras vanish, and he even saw their Domains shatter with a boom. The two Perfection-level Experts had died just like that.

They died in confusion. Lin Moyu mourned for them for three breaths, while also pondering a question.

Why did this happen? What kind of method did the cause-seeking ring use to allow him to avoid all harm?

He believed that everything had a cause and effect, and that all things had a traceable origin; it was impossible to create something out of nothing.

No matter how heaven-defying the cause-seeking ring was, it could not escape this fundamental law. Therefore, just now…

…the Desolate Shadow Beast must have been there. Otherwise, their attacks could not have passed through space and landed on the Desolate Shadow Beast. Since the Desolate Shadow Beast was there…

…it could also be inferred why the Cross-Domain Array had shattered. To break the Cross-Domain Array…

…unless a Great Venerable took action, ordinary Perfection-level Experts could not do it at all. So, with the Desolate Shadow Beast there, everything could be explained.

He finally reached the end of the vortex. The moment he broke free from the vortex, Lin Moyu suddenly began to cough repeatedly.

The peculiar aura rushing toward him struck his soul directly. His soul could not adapt for a moment, and he choked.

"Ancient Wilderness." Lin Moyu was shocked while coughing. This aura came from the Ancient Wilderness.

It was not the mixed aura of Chaos and Ancient Wilderness found in the Desolate Scar, but the aura that truly belonged to the Ancient Wilderness. "I have actually arrived at the Ancient Wilderness."

Even if he did not believe it, Lin Moyu had to admit at this moment that he had, in all likelihood, entered the Ancient Wilderness.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed before his eyes. Lin Moyu looked up and saw a behemoth, only slightly smaller than a Domain, sweep past him.

Carrying a black light, it flew forward; it seemed slow but was actually fast, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

It was the Desolate Shadow Beast. It had left, silently and without a trace.

It had completely ignored him; after all, to such an existence, he was too insignificant.
