Chapter 4744: The Supreme's End Point
A vast aura surged upward as Lin Moyu's flesh finally surpassed the Great Venerate realm and once again stood on the same level as his soul.
Although there was still a large gap in raw power, at least their realms now matched.
From the moment of this breakthrough, Lin Moyu's path toward becoming a Supreme had been opened.
Moreover, unlike other Supremes, he did not need the recognition of heaven and earth; he was simply himself.
As long as he continued growing stronger, he would, with only his pure flesh and soul, possess combat power equal to other Supremes.
Even now, Lin Moyu's practical combat strength was already no weaker than that of the Calamity Great Venerate and the others.
With his strength increased, his confidence in surviving the great tribulation of the Chaotic Ancient Desolation also rose sharply.
At this point, Lin Moyu had at least over a ninety percent chance of pushing Lin Mohan up to the position of Supreme.
As for everyone else, whoever needed suppressing would be suppressed, and whoever needed killing would be killed. He had never shown mercy to his enemies.
"Finally broke through!"
The Hongmeng Gem let out a breath of relief.
Lin Moyu had finally completed his breakthrough, seizing this opportunity firmly without letting it go to waste.
After he died another thousand times or so, his strengthened soul once more managed to endure beyond one full second, causing Rebirth to be interrupted.
Lin Moyu did not continue.
Although going deeper into the vortex would allow him to keep courting death, it was simply too dangerous.
Right now, he was only half a step away from the Forbidden Zone of Life.
One careless move and he would die for real, with no coming back.
After one more rebirth, Lin Moyu exited the vortex.
Golden light flowed through both his flesh and soul as a vast aura naturally spread out from him.
The power that had been suppressed inside the vortex now burst out in full.
The passage shook violently, and the Hongmeng Gem cried, "The passage is about to collapse, Master, leave quickly!"
Lin Moyu swiftly left the passage and returned to the world.
The spatial passage shattered, turning into motes of dust, and the next instant the world itself began to shake violently.
Lin Moyu already understood what was happening.
He had broken through the Great Venerate realm, and although he had not yet truly become a Supreme, he had already surpassed the limits of this world.
Existences above the Great Venerate realm were not allowed to set foot in other worlds.
Doing so would at best trigger a backlash from the power of heaven and earth, and at worst cause that world to collapse outright.
Now he had two choices: either leave immediately, or find a way to refine the world before it collapsed.
It was the same thing that Lord Xuntun had done in the past finding a suitable world and, with thunderous methods, refining it.
But at most, only one of the two connected worlds could be refined; the other, which was joined to it, would have to be discarded.
Furthermore, refining this world would not really benefit him.
The Yu God World was still unrefined, so even if he refined this place, it would bring no benefit at all to the Yu God World.
The result of refining it personally would be completely different from having it refined by the World Burning Fire.
The Hongmeng Gem pointed in a direction.
"Master, the world core is over there."
Lin Moyu did not move.
"Refining the world is useless to me, and I do not want to give up the other world either."
Whoosh!
The Wings of the World unfolded.
They turned into radiant light that crossed tens of thousands of miles of void, forming a pair of enormous wings that covered the whole world.
"Nine Heavens Fate Art Submit!"
The world hummed and roared.
All the shattered rules seemed to hear a summons and converged toward Lin Moyu, bowing beneath those vast wings.
By using the Nine Heavens Fate Art, he forcibly altered the rules and recondensed the broken ones.
As the rules coalesced, the world grew stronger and could now hold a much greater power.
Using the Wings of the World as a medium, he made the rules submit.
In this way, the world would no longer reject Lin Moyu, and its trembling gradually calmed down.
A streak of rosy light appeared out of nowhere between heaven and earth, falling onto Lin Moyu's body.
His eyes flickered slightly, as if he had just understood something.
"So that's how it is!"
The Hongmeng Gem asked curiously, "Master, what did you see?"
Lin Moyu said, "After the soul broke through, even though the realm itself did not change, my arts have grown a lot stronger."
"Now when I use the Nine Heavens Fate Art, it is much easier than before. The Wings of the World can almost cover half of this world's remnants, so this world will no longer reject me."
The Hongmeng Gem hurried to flatter him.
"Master truly is powerful. This art could only ever belong to you."
Lin Moyu said, "This breakthrough is crucial to me. I have come to understand many things, especially about heaven and earth, far beyond what I knew before."
"Why do all Supremes walk the same path? Why must they all refine worlds? Because they have already reached the world's limit, and some of them can see 'It'."
"It?"
The Hongmeng Gem was puzzled.
"What is 'It'?"
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"It cannot be spoken, and cannot be truly described. Only those Supremes who are in the process of refining a world and have mastered and comprehended the Primal Heaven Art can see It."
"This is the end point that the rules of heaven and earth point to. Those Supremes realize that this is the end."
"But the end point cannot be spoken of. It can only be known by oneself. They try every method to reach that end, but none have ever succeeded."
The Hongmeng Gem seemed to understand somewhat.
"To reach that end point, would they have to step across the Forbidden Zone of Life?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
"Exactly. By rights, I should not know any of this, but because I possess the Nine Heavens Fate Art, I can command the rules through it and the Wings of the World in a way that is equivalent to refining the world, and that is why I know."
The Hongmeng Gem did not press further.
Since it could not be spoken of, he would not ask.
He searched his memories.
"I remember now. No wonder those few strongest fellows, when they stepped into the Forbidden Zone of Life, all seemed to have their eyes locked onto something."
"Back then, it felt strange to me.
It was like they were not wandering blindly, but actually had a target."
"Now that Master has said this, that doubt is finally resolved."
Those powerful Supremes all had an unspeakable goal.
It was information granted by heaven and earth, telling them where the true end lay.
So they racked their brains and used every possible method, all to move toward that end point.
The Hongmeng Gem asked with interest, "If one obtained that thing, what would happen?"
Lin Moyu shook his head.
"Unknown. Only by actually obtaining it could anyone know."
"Master…"
The Hongmeng Gem carefully probed.
Lin Moyu replied calmly, "Naturally, I will claim that thing for myself someday but not now. I am still not qualified."
The Hongmeng Gem said, "I understand. What I meant was, Master will definitely obtain that thing in the future."
Lin Moyu said, "I will do my utmost, but whether I can truly achieve it will ultimately depend on fate."
"For now, I will deal with these two worlds. These two worlds have already fused into one. If either one is refined, the other will immediately collapse."
"If I want to keep both, I must refine them together."
As he spoke, a soul clone appeared at his side, a blossom of World Burning Fire in its hand.
The soul clone swept its gaze across the sky, quickly locking onto a gap, then turned into a streak of light and shot into it.
Lin Moyu said, "I will refine both worlds at the same time. Not a single one will be wasted."
He sent his soul clone to the other world to find its world core so that, working together with his true body, they could refine both worlds in unison.
Only then could he harvest the "shells" of both worlds at once.
With his current strength, even an eight cycle world posed no real threat to him.
Besides, the two worlds had already been battered by the power of the Forbidden Zone of Life and now lacked rule born beings.
As long as he could withstand the impact of the chaotic forces, there would be no real danger.
The Hongmeng Gem asked, "So you do not need me to search for the world core anymore?"
Lin Moyu said, "The rules themselves will point the way for me."
