Chapter 4738: A Younger Brother Is a Treasure at Home
Lin Mohan had now broken through to the Great Venerate realm and stabilized her cultivation, but compared to an ancient existence like the Mixed‑Sky Wild Dragon, she was still somewhat inferior.
Leaving aside the Mixed‑Sky Wild Dragon, who had once been the strongest, she held no advantage at all against the "Dao" that specialized in manipulating space or against the Calamity Great Venerate, who was well‑versed in the Great Dao of time.
If she wanted to complete Lin Moyu's plan and truly prove the Dao through strength, many more preparations were still needed.
This time Lin Moyu had come for the purpose of giving Lin Mohan another push.
Lin Mohan laughed and said, "So how does Xiaoyu plan to help big sister?"
She knew Lin Moyu definitely had a method, as his present understanding far surpassed her own.
What she could not accomplish, Lin Moyu might not be unable to assist with.
Lin Moyu smiled.
"It is actually very simple.
We just need to trick heaven and earth a little.
As for how to trick them, that is simpler still: just kill me."
Lin Mohan was stunned for a moment, a look of shock flashing through her beautiful eyes, as if she could not believe what Lin Moyu had said.
"Kill you?"
Lin Moyu made a small sound of acknowledgment.
"Yes, kill me.
Once you kill me, heaven and earth will issue a reward, and big sister will gain a great benefit.
It will not be enough to let you directly attain the Dao, but increasing your strength will be no problem."
To personally kill Lin Moyu with her own hands how could she possibly bring herself to do such a thing?
Before she could sort out her thoughts, Lin Moyu continued, "Back in the small world, when I wanted to improve my spells, I found a good friend whose only job was to keep killing me over and over."
"Later, when I wanted to increase my strength, I repeatedly courted death and committed suicide again and again…"
"Big sister, do not worry.
I will not die, so just kill away.
It is just that killing me will take some effort; I am not that easy to kill."
This was the first time anyone had described themself as "not that easy to kill," and Lin Mohan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This younger brother of hers behaved in such an unexpected fashion.
She had watched him grow up, yet only now did she realize that she had long since lost the ability to see through Lin Moyu.
Although some hesitation still lingered in her heart, Lin Mohan nevertheless drew her sword.
Lin Mohan said, "My sword is a Great Venerate supreme treasure, forged from heavenly refined metal and tempered by sword Dao.
It can cut down everything.
Little brother, are you sure this is all right?"
Lin Moyu said, "It is fine.
Just remember to use your full strength."
Lin Mohan swung her sword, the sword light splitting the firmament as it fell upon Lin Moyu's body.
Lin Moyu had already withdrawn his own defenses and forcibly suppressed his arts, preventing the domain‑world and its undying undead from sharing any of his damage.
Only in this way could Lin Mohan kill him more easily.
Within the sword light, countless tiny cuts appeared on Lin Moyu's skin.
A sword that was enough to destroy a quasi‑Great Venerate only left him with superficial wounds.
Just as Lin Moyu had said, he was extremely hard to kill, even with all his defenses put away.
From within the sword light came Lin Moyu's voice.
"Big sister, put some strength into it.
This will not do."
Lin Mohan made a sound of acknowledgment and gave a low shout.
"One Sword to Sever the Dao!"
This time she struck with her full power.
The storm instantly froze in place, then sword light burst out of the storm, and the raging winds were torn to shreds.
A streak of brilliance appeared in the Lower Domain, and nearly half of the entire region trembled.
The sword light tore open the Lower Domain's void, as though it would cleave the whole Lower Domain in two.
Yet this only lasted for a single breath.
The sword light suddenly contracted, all sword intent condensing at one point before erupting with a thunderous blast.
With this sword, Lin Mohan used her full power, and combined with Lin Moyu's complete cooperation, the objective was at last achieved.
Lin Moyu's body was chopped into four or five pieces, and his soul was similarly torn apart.
In the eyes of heaven and earth, Lin Moyu was now dead.
A faint ray of light, visible only to Lin Mohan, descended from heaven and earth, carrying with it the reward of heaven and earth.
Since she had slain the public enemy of heaven and earth, naturally heaven and earth bestowed a reward.
Just as Lin Moyu had said, as long as she killed him, Lin Mohan would gain benefits and her strength would greatly increase.
At this moment Lin Mohan's feelings were complicated.
She had personally cut down Lin Moyu.
Even knowing it was not a true death, it still felt deeply unpleasant.
A flash of violet light appeared before her eyes, and Lin Moyu's calm voice came from within it.
"Nine Heavens Fate Art!"
Lin Moyu activated the Nine Heavens Fate Art, forcibly altering the rules to extend the duration of heaven and earth's reward so that Lin Mohan would receive more benefits.
Dark clouds came rolling in, blotting out the sky and the sun.
Changing the rules of heaven and earth would invariably invite punishment.
Within the violet light, Lin Moyu completed his rebirth and said indifferently, "Again?
Still can't do anything to me, can you?
Over and over how annoying."
His words made Lin Mohan laugh in spite of herself.
"Only Xiaoyu could treat heaven and earth's punishment like nothing at all."
Lin Moyu said, "If it were taken seriously, there is no way I would be playing the role of the public enemy of heaven and earth.
Come, come, big sister, continue killing me."
"Still more?"
Lin Mohan was taken aback.
She had thought killing him once would be enough, but Lin Moyu wanted her to keep going.
Lin Moyu said, "Since you have already killed me, you may as well do it a few more times and squeeze out as many benefits as possible.
Otherwise, every time heaven and earth send down punishment like this, it would be such a waste."
As he spoke, Lin Moyu retreated a short distance so that Lin Mohan would not be dragged down with him.
"One Sword to Sever the Dao!"
Lin Mohan swung her sword again.
This time the sweeping sword light was even stronger than before.
Lin Mohan could clearly feel her own strength rising and her sword intent growing sharper, and all of it came from Lin Moyu.
Within the sword light, Lin Moyu was once again slain, and heaven and earth silently showered down their reward.
The reward this time was weaker than before.
The effect of killing Lin Moyu a second time had dropped off significantly.
Reborn in violet light, Lin Moyu continued to use the Nine Heavens Fate Art to alter the rules and squeeze out as many benefits for Lin Mohan as possible.
"It is a pity that big sister's power is still not enough, or I could use her hand to pursue my great 'courting‑death enterprise'."
"Perhaps once big sister becomes a supreme, we can give it another try."
Lin Mohan would not do.
No one else would do either.
Right now, it was far too difficult to find a place where he could safely court death.
If he went straight into a Forbidden Zone of Life, he might never return.
For now, the only idea he had was to wait until Lin Mohan became a supreme and then try again.
Aside from that, there was another method, but it still lacked some necessary conditions and could not yet be put into practice.
"Again!"
Lin Moyu shouted, and sword light swept in once more.
Lin Mohan killed Lin Moyu for the third time.
Heaven and earth kept sending down reward after reward, though the effect grew weaker each time.
On Lin Moyu's side, heaven and earth's punishment turned into boundless thunder, engulfing him completely.
Lin Moyu simply ignored the punishment of heaven and earth and had Lin Mohan cut him down again and again.
For him, dying a few times was nothing at all, not even enough to count as a warm‑up.
After dying ten times in a row, Lin Moyu sensed that the reward from heaven and earth had become extremely faint, practically negligible, and he fell silent.
He knew his value had been squeezed dry.
No matter how many more times he was killed, Lin Mohan would gain very little.
"That's enough."
"You all can disperse as well."
Lin Moyu gave a soft sigh, waved his hand, and scattered the violet light.
"Big sister, take some time to get used to your new strength.
I will stay here and let the lightning strike me a while longer."
Heaven and earth's punishment still needed some time to fade.
Because Lin Moyu had altered the rules repeatedly, the duration of the punishment had been greatly extended.
Terrifying sword intent surged from Lin Mohan's body, spreading over a vast area and reforming into a storm to keep everyone else out.
Judging by aura alone, Lin Mohan was now at least fifty percent stronger than before, and in no way weaker than the Calamity Great Venerate and his ilk.
Several days later, heaven and earth's punishment finally ended.
Lin Moyu emerged with a smile.
"Congratulations, big sister.
Your cultivation has advanced greatly."
Lin Mohan let out a soft sigh, filled with countless emotions.
"To think that it could actually be this easy."
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"This is anything but easy.
The Mixed‑Sky Wild Dragon has tried many times to kill me and never managed it.
He did not even get a chance to grow stronger."
"A younger brother at home is like having a treasure indeed."
