Chapter 4754: Wheel of Fate
The sudden accident was something the Calamity Great Venerate could not accept for a moment.
The power that could easily shatter his palm strike and break his Great Venerate level supreme treasure was already not weaker than his own.
The fact that Jin Great Venerate actually possessed such a terrifying subordinate was somewhat hard for him to accept.
"Hahaha!"
Wild laughter echoed throughout the void as Jin Great Venerate grew even more unrestrained.
"Calamity brat, is this a surprise?
Are you satisfied with the gift this old man has prepared for you?"
The Calamity Great Venerate ground his teeth and spoke coldly.
"What exactly do you intend to do?"
Jin Great Venerate laughed without stopping.
"Naturally, to add a bit of fun to this boring heaven and earth.
Watching you all hide and scheme, one after another, has become increasingly dull."
"Especially you.
You think you have calculated everyone, laid out layer upon layer of plans, when in fact you do not know that someone else has already calculated you."
"This old man just wants to tell you that all schemes are useless.
Strength is everything."
The Calamity Great Venerate frowned.
He faintly felt that there was a deeper meaning behind Jin Great Venerate's words.
"If you have something to say, then speak plainly.
If you refuse, this Venerate will cut you down today!"
A sharp sword appeared in the Calamity Great Venerate's hand, and two dazzling gemstones were set in the blade.
One was a Time Essence Stone, and the other a Space Divine Stone.
Together, the two gems bestowed the power of time and space upon the sword.
Although this sword was only a Great Venerate level supreme treasure, under the blessing of time space power, its might had already surpassed the Heavenly Venerate level.
Lin Moyu thought to himself, "It seems that over the endless years, the Calamity Great Venerate has gained quite a lot.
So that was not the only Time Essence Stone he had before; there must be more."
The Hongmeng Gem said, "No matter how many Time Essence Stones or how many fortuitous encounters he has, as long as his true strength remains unchanged, all of it is useless before Master."
Lin Moyu mused, "They may be of little use in the end, but they will still be troublesome."
In Lin Moyu's eyes, it would merely be a bit more troublesome.
What he needed to do now was find the small world.
He had to bring the small world back, only then could he fight freely.
Although he could, in theory, disregard the lives and deaths of Meng Anwen and the others, he would not actually do so if there was any other choice.
Lin Moyu was not rigid, nor would he let himself be controlled by others.
He would only try to ensure the safety of his people within a range he could accept.
Faced with the Calamity Great Venerate's threats, Jin Great Venerate was clearly unafraid.
"Calamity brat, you are still clever enough to hear the hidden meaning in this old man's words, but this old man just does not want to tell you.
You can take your time guessing."
"If you want to kill this old man, feel free to try and see whether you have that ability."
He slapped the Insect Stele with his palm again, and the stele surged with a vast aura that enveloped him.
Jin Great Venerate merged completely with the Insect Stele, and as long as the stele was not destroyed, no one could hope to kill him.
That strange head in the Insect Stele pushed out a bit further, revealing half of its body.
Its immense power shook the surrounding void.
The entire heaven and earth roared.
The rules of heaven and earth moved of their own accord, and the power of the world surged in, as if rejecting the thing inside the stele.
"Power close to that of a peak powerhouse."
Lin Moyu saw at once that the creature within the Insect Stele was already extremely close to the level of a peak powerhouse.
Moreover, it did not come from the Primordial Chaos Desolation, which was why the rules of this heaven and earth rejected it.
The Calamity Great Venerate's expression changed drastically, then he sneered again.
"Though I do not know where you got this thing, it is not of this world.
Once it enters this heaven and earth, it will be rejected by the world "
But suddenly, the rules of heaven and earth withdrew and no longer rejected the creature within the Insect Stele.
In secret, Lin Moyu used the Nine Heavens Fate Technique to forcibly alter the rules of heaven and earth, making them cease their rejection of this being.
With the play having reached this point, how could it possibly be allowed to end here?
By borrowing Jin Great Venerate's hand, he could put some pressure on the Calamity Great Venerate and buy himself more time.
The twelve formations were the Calamity Great Venerate's trump card and would not be used lightly.
As long as the Calamity Great Venerate had no absolute certainty of victory, he would not allow Lin Moyu to activate the formations, and Lin Moyu could keep dragging things out.
Jin Great Venerate was also clearly surprised that the rules of heaven and earth had suddenly stopped rejecting him.
His eyes narrowed slightly as if he had realized something, and he burst out laughing again.
"This old man knows why now.
What a great method, what a great method indeed!"
"Fellow Daoist, do you still intend to keep hiding?
Come out.
Rather than just watching the show, why not come on stage and perform together?"
The Calamity Great Venerate was completely bewildered.
He had no idea what Jin Great Venerate was talking about.
The sword in his hand trembled lightly, twisting and disrupting time and space.
"Nonsense."
Jin Great Venerate laughed loudly.
"Calamity brat, how pitiful you are when you think about it.
You have schemed your whole life but do not even know that you have long since been out schemed."
"You think your layout has no flaws and that you can sit back like the oriole, but you do not realize there is a hunter behind the oriole."
The Calamity Great Venerate listened, utterly confused.
His dao heart was firm and would not be shaken by a few words from Jin Great Venerate.
However, Lin Moyu heard the subtle hints within.
He knew well what Jin Great Venerate was capable of.
Back when Jin Great Venerate had been trapped at the South Pole and unable to move himself, he had still managed to let his countless insects spread throughout the Primordial Chaos Desolation.
Many things that had taken place within the Primordial Chaos Desolation were known to him.
Moreover, his existence was ancient.
Even before the Calamity Great Venerate had laid out his schemes, Jin Great Venerate's insects had already hidden themselves in every corner.
These insects were nurtured by Jin Great Venerate using the Insect Stele, specifically for spying on the worlds.
Their ability to remain concealed was extremely strong; even a Great Venerate would have trouble finding them without a careful search.
Therefore, Jin Great Venerate must have known quite a lot about the Calamity Great Venerate's arrangements.
And when he spoke of having schemed against the Calamity Great Venerate and mentioned the hunter behind the oriole, he was referring to the Fate Venerate.
Lin Moyu swept his gaze through the rules.
Layer after layer of rules was laid bare before his eyes, and he finally spotted an inconspicuous corner where a mass of power hid within a crevice of fate and space.
"So they really did come."
"The hiding place is excellent.
It nearly fooled even me."
He saw the Fate Venerate and the Ancient Desolation Bull.
These two had indeed been unwilling to give up their positions as peak powerhouses and had come here as well.
Their movements, however, had been discovered early on by Jin Great Venerate.
Yet in the face of Jin Great Venerate's mocking words, they did not respond in any way.
Jin Great Venerate's laughter did not cease.
"Very good, very good.
Since you refuse to come out, this old man will force you out!"
The Insect Stele buzzed, and the head protruding from it suddenly turned, then spat out a violent blast of air.
The expelled air turned into surging tidal waves that tore the void apart.
Layer upon layer of space collapsed, and even time was wiped away.
"Sigh."
With a sigh, a strange power rose up, and a bizarre wheel appeared in the void.
The wheel was divided into nine spokes and nine layers, each layer pointing in a different direction as though it could foretell the fate of every living being.
"The Wheel of Fate!"
Heaven Fire Human Venerate's expression changed sharply, and he cried out in shock.
Clearly, the appearance of the Wheel of Fate had completely exceeded his expectations.
The Wheel of Fate spun, twisting the outcome.
Without any warning, the blast of air suddenly turned around and barreled toward the Calamity Great Venerate.
The Calamity Great Venerate's expression changed drastically.
He swung his sword, and the sword light threw time and space into chaos, shredding the blast of air and then slashing toward the Wheel of Fate.
The sword's edge was so fierce it looked as though it could tear the Wheel of Fate apart.
With time and space locked down, the Wheel of Fate had nowhere to dodge.
All of a sudden, a gigantic figure appeared in front of the Wheel of Fate the Ancient Desolation Bull stepped forward to shield it.
The Calamity Great Venerate's sword landed on the Ancient Desolation Bull and immediately dissipated, failing to harm it in the slightest.
The Fate Venerate appeared atop the Wheel of Fate and bowed toward the Calamity Great Venerate.
"Fellow Daoist Calamity, long time no see."
