Chapter 4752: Everyone Is Acting
The Calamity Great Venerate was also waiting for an opportunity.
What he hoped for most was that the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon and "Dao" would both suffer heavy losses so he could reap the fisherman's profit.
It had to be admitted that both the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon and "Dao" were extremely powerful.
In a one on one fight, even against either one alone, the Calamity Great Venerate did not have complete confidence.
Even with the help of a grand formation, if he had to face one of them in their peak state, he would still have to pay a price.
If he were to act now, then the one who would reap the fisherman's profit would be someone else instead, and the Calamity Great Venerate would certainly not do something so foolish.
Thus, when he helped the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon escape the encirclement just now, it was precisely to have the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon and "Dao" fight each other to the death.
Everything the Calamity Great Venerate was thinking, Lin Moyu saw clearly.
"It seems the Calamity Great Venerate has also studied the temperaments of the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon and the others."
"With his Time Essence Stones, he can reverse the river of time.
Even if he cannot return to the ancient era, taking a look at what happened in ancient times should not be difficult."
"With his intelligence, he can indeed deduce many things from what he has seen."
Lin Moyu put on an expression of trying hard to suppress temptation.
From time to time he made small movements that looked like he wanted to move closer to the Divine Wood Sea, but in the end he never truly approached.
He could clearly sense that part of the Calamity Great Venerate's attention was always locked on him.
After all, if he refined the Divine Wood Sea, then none of the others would have any more chances.
As long as he really made a move, the Calamity Great Venerate would definitely stop him.
The whole situation became very subtle.
The Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon and "Dao" fought fiercely, then gradually cooled down.
Both sides were injured, but not heavily.
In terms of strength, they were evenly matched.
If they stopped fighting, it would not be good for the Calamity Great Venerate, and Lin Moyu guessed that the Calamity Great Venerate would certainly do something.
"Dao" suddenly let out a furious shout.
"Stupid dragon, stop fighting.
If you keep this up, you can forget about ever achieving the Dao."
Layers upon layers of space shattered as he forcibly pushed the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon back.
"Dao" was clearer headed than the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon and knew that if the fight continued, the one who would benefit in the end would be the Calamity Great Venerate.
At this moment, the Calamity Great Venerate also moved.
He lightly tapped with a finger, and his personal realm unfolded.
The Calamity Great Venerate was a cultivator, and even after breaking through the Great Venerate realm, his personal realm was still his greatest support.
If his opponents were weak, naturally there would be no need to use the power of his realm.
But now he was facing opponents on the level of the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon and "Dao," so he had to use his full strength.
The moment he acted, his realm spread out naturally.
The realm pierced through space, and countless runes flew out, reflecting a massive formation.
Lin Moyu frowned slightly.
There was an extremely chaotic power hidden within that formation.
This chaotic power did not come from the Primordial Chaos Desolation, but seemed to originate from another heaven and earth.
The Hongmeng Gem transmitted its voice: "That is the turbid qi of a chaotic heaven and earth."
"Chaotic heaven and earth?"
Lin Moyu was very familiar with the rules of heaven and earth, but in terms of breadth of knowledge, he was still a bit inferior to the Hongmeng Gem.
After all, it had survived in the Life Forbidden Zone for so many years and had witnessed countless heavens and earths.
It was normal for it to know more than he did.
The Hongmeng Gem said, "Some heavens and earths, after their destruction, have living beings whose obsessions do not dissipate even after death.
This causes the rules of that heaven and earth to fall into chaos, eventually affecting the core of that world and leaving the entire remnant realm in utter disorder."
"Such remnants of a heaven and earth will give birth to turbid qi of heaven and earth.
This turbid qi can affect the minds of living beings and pollute their dao hearts.
He obtained a wisp of turbid qi of this kind and used it as the core of his formation."
Only a single wisp of turbid qi would not have much effect by itself, but the Calamity Great Venerate used the formation to magnify its influence.
While it was not enough to fully corrupt the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon, it could still throw the dragon's dao heart into disorder.
Watching the realm appear behind the Calamity Great Venerate, Lin Moyu's mind stirred.
The soul motes he had hidden within the Divine Wood Sea flew out one after another.
The Nine Heavens Fate Technique silently activated, and under the cover of the rules of heaven and earth, those soul motes quietly merged into the Calamity Great Venerate's realm.
Lin Moyu had been waiting for the Calamity Great Venerate to use his realm all this time.
He knew the Calamity Great Venerate would surely use it, but he had not expected it to go so smoothly.
It could only be said that the Calamity Great Venerate's luck was poor.
He had schemed for a lifetime, yet in the end was still being schemed against.
After being blasted away, the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon was just about to pull back when the Calamity Great Venerate's formation had already activated.
A wisp of turbid qi silently slipped into the rules of heaven and earth and followed them into the body of the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon.
The Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon immediately let out a heaven shaking dragon roar.
"You say stop and I just stop?
The debts of that year this Venerate must settle them all with you today."
"Idiot."
"Dao" shouted in anger.
Countless eyes appeared in the void, most of them staring at the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon, and a portion fixed upon the Calamity Great Venerate.
He knew full well that this was the Calamity Great Venerate's doing, but right now he had no way to deal with the Calamity Great Venerate and had to handle the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon first.
"Dao" said coldly, "You were like this back then as well thinking yourself clever when you were actually unimaginably foolish.
If not, that flower would never have fallen into this Venerate's hands."
"Even though you later obtained an opportunity to break through and hid yourself for countless years, your stupidity has never changed.
If you wish to take that final step, you are hopeless."
The Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon was further provoked, and his killing intent surged even more fiercely.
As if having lost his reason, he roared madly, "Kill you, I will kill you!"
He transformed into a divine dragon spanning ten thousand miles, clad in golden dragon armor, and unleashed earth shattering battle power.
The former number one powerhouse manifested once more in the world.
The rules of heaven and earth fell like a great waterfall, lending him strength.
He controlled the rules and transformed them into countless weapons of war, instantly slicing apart all of "Dao's" eyes.
Space twisted, first shattering and then quickly reforming, and countless eyes appeared once more.
"Dao's" voice was unchanged.
"To have reached this level and still only know how to charge in recklessly trash is trash.
No matter how many years you cultivate, that will never change."
The Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon grew even more furious.
Wave after wave of terrifying attacks swept through the void, punching through the Primordial Chaos Desolation and smashing heaven and earth to pieces, as though he meant to destroy the world itself.
Lin Moyu frowned.
"Something is off."
The Hongmeng Gem asked in puzzlement, "What is off?"
Lin Moyu said, "The Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon is impulsive, but not to this degree.
Even with the influence of the turbid qi of heaven and earth, it should not be so bad."
"He is acting.
Everyone is acting.
Each one is a better actor than the last.
In that case, let the heavens and earth be the stage, and let us put on a proper show."
Everyone was acting, and Lin Moyu was acting as well.
At the same time, he was watching.
He was both a character in the play and the audience, and even more so the director of the entire performance.
The Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon looked completely crazed.
His attacks were wild beyond compare, as if he intended to rip heaven and earth apart.
"Dao," however, chose to avoid his sharp edge.
On the surface, it looked as if he was not the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon's match, but in truth "Dao" had not taken much damage at all.
He twisted space into countless layers, each one being born and destroyed in turn.
"Dao" hid within the overlapping spaces, refusing to confront the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon head on.
The Calamity Great Venerate observed all of this and did not seem anxious.
In his calculations, the best result for "Dao" and the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon was mutual destruction.
But if one side was heavily wounded by the other, that was still an acceptable outcome.
He was enjoying the spectacle, completely unaware that his own realm had already been infiltrated by Lin Moyu's soul motes.
Those soul motes were linked to Lin Moyu's sight and rapidly searched throughout the realm for the whereabouts of the small world.
The entire process was like looking for a needle in a haystack and was not easy, but even so, the search had to be done.
Moreover, with the help of the rules of heaven and earth, things became much easier for Lin Moyu.
Given enough time, he would certainly find it, so Lin Moyu was in no hurry at all.
He only hoped the Mixed Heaven Desolation Dragon would keep "going mad" to buy him more time.
"Hahaha, what a lively battle!"
A laugh rang out as a massive stone stele, dragging a long tail of light, flew in from the distance.
