Chapter 4580: The Shameless Primal Chaos Stone
The Primal Chaos Stone seemed quite confident, convinced that Lin Moyu wouldn't be able to hit the opponent.
Lin Moyu didn't act on impulse; since the Stone was so certain, he felt there must be a reason.
Carefully observing, Lin Moyu saw that except for the moment of attack, the enemy's form was invisible.
At first glance, it seemed similar to the Hidden Spirit Pearl, concealing his body, but further inspection showed it wasn't mere invisibility it was true phasing.
Not only that, but the creature appeared to use the power of time and space.
If they were in Chaos, Xiaoshu could use spacetime powers to counter them, but here, Xiaoshu's power was restricted to less than a tenth, unable to affect spacetime.
Moreover, in this place both time and space were chaotic, nothing like Chaos; even in peak condition, Xiaoshu would need considerable time to adapt.
Thus, for Lin Moyu to hit the enemy, he'd have to strike at the exact instant they attacked.
That seemed logical, but, based on the Stone's advice, it wasn't so simple.
"Phasing, time and space…"
"With my power, even without the Calamity Scepter, I should be able to handle this opponent."
"Let's observe more."
Lin Moyu decided on further observation.
The space here was vast, and the Ferry was tossed about like a ball, but it wasn't a problem for now.
The creature's attack strength was not overwhelming, just slightly above top perfectionists; Lin Moyu believed he could handle it.
If possible, it would be best not to use the Calamity Scepter, though it was his treasure, since it was still an external tool.
Especially facing the Primal Chaos Stone its smug attitude made Lin Moyu want to punch it.
After watching for a while, Lin Moyu didn't come up with a solution.
He quickly shifted focus, thinking from the origin of the deepest wilderness.
This was the origin of worlds, the root of this realm, yet its laws differed greatly, almost an alternate world.
Different worlds, different Daos, entirely different rules.
Yet there was a commonality: strength of the body and soul.
These two powers belong to cultivators themselves, not to external objects.
No matter the world, if strong enough, even if the world's Dao limits abilities, the restriction isn't severe not like other Daos which may become useless.
Here, Lin Moyu's own flesh and soul were unshackled by realms.
Thus, the best way to deal with the opponent was through these two forces.
Focusing on that, he had his soul's power sense the chaos around, tracking changes in space and time when the enemy attacked.
At last, Lin Moyu noticed something
The enemy didn't shift into another space time, merely using the powers of time and space separately, not combined.
Their speed of attack was much slower than it appeared hundreds of times slower.
The sense of instantaneous attack came from their manipulation of time, pausing it temporarily as they struck.
This produced the illusion of blazing speed: by the time Lin Moyu saw them attack, the Ferry was already struck, with only a brief outline visible.
The Primal Chaos Stone's confidence came from this since time was paused, even using the Calamity Scepter, Lin Moyu would rarely hit the target.
"Pausing time is a pure talent not a Dao, not a technique. Interesting."
Having understood, Lin Moyu readied his soul's power, condensing a soul avatar nearly equal to 90% his total power.
Others would be exhausted doing this, but Lin Moyu could recover instantly by dying and reviving.
The soul avatar left the Ferry just as the enemy attacked again, revealing a faint silhouette.
The avatar felt a unique pressure as time stopped everywhere.
This was effective against the physical body, but its impact on Lin Moyu's soul was sharply reduced.
With his soul at the peak of the Chaos Realm, almost Supreme, the time stop only delayed him for a fraction of a second before he broke free.
The soul avatar punched toward the silhouette, unleashing an immense soul assault.
Simultaneously, Lin Moyu's soul held two images: one from the perspective of the soul avatar with normal time flow, and the other seen from the Ferry a static snapshot of the attack's beginning.
The two perspectives were disorienting one moving, the other still.
"Really interesting," Lin Moyu laughed a novel, exciting feeling.
In the moving perspective, Lin Moyu finally saw the enemy clearly: a round creature, soft as a bubble, fragile looking.
The avatar's fist sent it flying, dodging its attack on the Ferry this time.
As it tumbled, thousands of eyes surfaced on its body, radiating shock. It was stunned that Lin Moyu could land a blow such a bizarre life form.
Lin Moyu smiled again, and the avatar instantly chased after, hitting it again.
The bubble creature's eyes narrowed and it vanished completely.
"Escaped?"
Not only did it pause time, it could phase its body, vanish at will its only weakness was weak attack power.
The next moment, the Ferry was attacked again the creature hadn't truly fled, but had phased back into space to strike the Ferry.
The vessel was knocked flying again.
Lin Moyu's soul avatar returned, striking again, while the bubble creature repeated its phase and attack on the Ferry, ignoring the avatar and focusing as if the ferry were its prey.
In the void, a dramatic chase played out
The avatar was strong but couldn't catch it; Lin Moyu frowned it could go on forever.
He wondered how long the opponent's assault would last.
Meanwhile, the Primal Chaos Stone chuckled it was unaffected by time stops, watching the whole scene like a show.
Lin Moyu knew that if he armed the avatar with the Calamity Scepter, he might deliver a killing blow,
but the Stone's irritating attitude made him give up that plan.
"Let's see if I can burn him!"
Lin Moyu summoned the Flame of World Destruction into the soul avatar's hands
Even in the deepest wilderness, that fire could burn all.
Soon after, Lin Moyu seized his chance. The Flame of World Destruction erupted, turning the void into a sea of fire…
