Counting his previous life, Lin Mohan had lived much longer than Lin Moyu, and her former realm had also far surpassed Lin Moyu's.
However, her understanding of Heaven-and-Earth, her knowledge of the great calamities, and her grasp of the entire past of the Chaos Ancient Wilds were far inferior to Lin Moyu's.
Lin Mohan had very little desire to explore these things.
She was a sword, a sword that cut open the future, and she had never thought much about the past.
In her previous life she had no family, no ties, only advancing forward and cutting down all enemies.
In this life she had Lin Moyu, and the trajectory of her life changed, so her temperament changed as well.
Within that relentless forward charge there was now a bit more softness.
Her sword intent had become tougher and more tenacious than in her previous life.
She listened as Lin Moyu spoke of the past of the Chaos Ancient Wilds and learned of Lin Moyu's plan.
Bright light flickered in her beautiful eyes.
"Xiaoyu, you really want elder sister to become the Supreme of this Heaven-and-Earth?"
Her clear voice carried three parts of surprise.
Lin Moyu smiled.
"I remember I asked sister before whether you wanted to become a Supreme.
"At that time, did you not agree?"
Lin Mohan chuckled softly.
"Back then I thought Xiaoyu was joking."
"It was not a joke. I am serious," Lin Moyu said.
Lin Mohan asked,
"If I become a Supreme, then what about little brother?
"Can one Heaven-and-Earth hold multiple Supremes?"
Lin Moyu said,
"According to the rules of Heaven-and-Earth, there is no hard rule that a single Heaven-and-Earth can only have one Supreme.
"But since ancient times, regardless of a Heaven-and-Earth's strength, there has only ever been one Supreme.
"One mountain cannot hold two tigers.
"If a Heaven-and-Earth gave birth to two Supremes, there would inevitably be conflict and contradiction, and the strength of both would be affected."
Lin Mohan pressed further.
"Then what are Xiaoyu's plans?"
"I have another Heaven-and-Earth. I will become the Supreme of that Heaven-and-Earth," Lin Moyu said.
Lin Mohan relaxed a little, yet still asked,
"Xiaoyu, do not lie to elder sister."
"I would not joke about something like this.
"Besides, being a Supreme is not my final destination," Lin Moyu said.
Anyone could hear clearly that Lin Moyu indeed had his own plans.
No matter how lofty her heart was, before this she had never dared to hope for breaking through the Great Supreme realm.
Now that she had the chance to become a Supreme, that was already the end point she could see.
However, for Lin Moyu, Supreme was not the end.
Lin Mohan suddenly raised her hand and lightly patted Lin Moyu's head.
"Xiaoyu, you really have grown up."
Lin Moyu could not help but laugh.
"I am already over ten thousand years old, can I still be a child?"
Lin Mohan's fine brows furrowed.
"In front of elder sister, you will always be a child."
Lin Moyu coaxed her like coaxing a child.
"Alright, alright, I am always a child.
"Then let us talk in detail about what we should do next."
Lin Mohan stretched lazily.
"Alright, Xiaoyu say it and I will do it."
She did not feel like thinking.
Back when Heaven Calamity Great Supreme set up his layout, she had only found it somewhat interesting, and it happened that her own path had reached the end, so she was willing to disperse her body and reincarnate to take part in it.
In truth she had never really thought about anything.
Her Dao-heart was like her sword, simple and pure.
It was still so now.
She agreed to Lin Moyu's proposal to contend for the Supreme throne, but was just as lazy to think about it.
Since Lin Moyu already had a plan, they would follow Lin Moyu's plan.
Even if there were some deviations from the plan, she could still cut out a road with the sword in her hand.
Since she had already decided she would become a Supreme, she would cut down all enemies.
"We siblings join hands, whoever it is, we can cut them down," Lin Mohan said.
Lin Moyu said,
"Heaven Calamity Great Supreme has not truly taken action yet, so his strength is unclear.
"Hun-Tian Wild Dragon was once number one in the current era, extremely powerful in combat, and later partially merged into Heaven-and-Earth, making him difficult to handle.
"遮天兽, in the second great calamity, obtained that strange flower, shed his body, and turned his soul into Dao. He is skilled at manipulating space and must also be treated cautiously.
"So I want to find a way to make the three of them form a three-legged standoff.
"I want them to be wary of each other and not dare to go all out against me."
Even now Heaven Calamity Great Supreme did not know that Lin Moyu had already seen through his plan.
His twelve grand arrays had already been tampered with by Lin Moyu.
When the great calamity reached its peak, that piece of tree root would appear and would definitely draw the three of them out to fight for it.
The three all wanted to achieve the Dao and become Supremes within the great calamity, so they would certainly fight for that tree root.
The tree root was the treasure of the calamity.
It might not necessarily let them achieve the Dao, but it at least offered a chance, and as long as there was a chance, they would not let it go.
Likewise, they would look for opportunities to kill Lin Moyu.
It was just that he had not done as they expected by slaughtering innumerable living beings to build up enough Heaven-and-Earth karma.
To them, even killing him could not guarantee they would one hundred percent achieve the Dao, and killing Lin Moyu was not easy.
He would resist, and they still had to guard against each other.
Whether killing him or fighting for the great calamity treasure, neither path could ensure they would certainly achieve the Dao.
To increase their chances of becoming Supremes, the best choice for them was to do both.
That was their path.
But in Lin Moyu's eyes, there was another path.
That was proving the Dao through strength, not relying on external objects, not borrowing karma, not establishing grand vows, but using his own combat power to accomplish his own Dao.
This was also the path Lin Mohan would walk.
"That tree root, the great calamity treasure, is enough to make the three of them fight for it.
"When they have more or less finished fighting, that will be when we make our move, kill them, and accomplish our own Dao.
"It is just that Heaven Calamity Great Supreme was once sister's old acquaintance. Can elder sister really strike him down?" Lin Moyu asked.
Lin Mohan laughed freely.
"In the past I called him Dao-brother.
"He really was the one among all of us walking at the very front.
"But I have always disliked his methods.
"They are too troublesome and not direct enough.
"And he deceived us.
"In that case, I will show him what straightforward means.
"A Great Supreme doing things in such a roundabout way really does not look like a Great Supreme."
Lin Moyu could hear the meaning within her words.
Lin Mohan was actually very angry, angry that she had been deceived.
She would make a move against Heaven Calamity Great Supreme and it would be a ruthless strike without mercy.
"Aside from those three, in fact there are others we must pay attention to," Lin Moyu said.
"Heavenly Fate Venerable and Eternal Desolate Ox. They might also break through the Great Supreme realm."
Lin Mohan paused for a moment.
"Heavenly Fate Venerable is still alive?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
"Back then he spied into the future and saw Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's layout, but he did not expose it.
"He used feigned death to escape.
"He was originally a divine herb that survived from the era of the second great calamity and is a good friend of Eternal Desolate Ox.
"He has the ability to deduce the future and has also been planning for many years.
"When the great calamity arrives, he will have quite a few chances to break through the Great Supreme realm.
"If they break through, they will naturally fight for the Supreme position, and there are two of them, so they will be difficult to handle.
"Apart from them, there is also Golden Great Supreme.
"Golden Great Supreme is the former Gold-Sun Divine Monarch and has lived until now.
"His Insect Stele gave me a feeling that was not simple.
"Though he is only a Great Supreme, he gives me a sense of danger.
"This fellow must also be watched closely."
"There really are many troublesome ones.
"If this old lady could be a bit stronger, it would be great.
"One sword per person, kill them all and leave them with no life left to fight," Lin Mohan said.
Lin Moyu laughed.
"That is the second matter I came here to deal with this time."
Lin Mohan had now broken through to the Great Supreme realm and stabilized her realm, but compared to ancient existences like Hun-Tian Wild Dragon, she certainly fell short.
Let alone Hun-Tian Wild Dragon, who had once been the strongest and was skilled at manipulating the Dao of space; against Heaven Calamity Great Supreme, who was proficient in the Dao of time, Lin Mohan had no inherent advantage.
If they wanted to complete Lin Moyu's plan and truly prove the Dao through strength, much preparation was still needed.
This time Lin Moyu had come to push Lin Mohan one step further.
Lin Mohan smiled.
"How will Xiaoyu help elder sister?"
She knew Lin Moyu would certainly have a way.
Lin Moyu's understanding now far surpassed her.
What she could not accomplish, Lin Moyu might not be unable to.
Lin Moyu smiled.
"In fact it is very simple.
"We are going to deceive Heaven-and-Earth a bit.
"As for how to deceive it, that is even simpler.
"Just kill me."
Lin Mohan froze, shock flashing in her beautiful eyes as if she could not believe what Lin Moyu had said.
"Kill you?"
"Yes, kill me.
"If you kill me, Heaven-and-Earth will give a reward.
"That way elder sister can gain great benefits.
"It will not be enough to let elder sister directly achieve the Dao, but improving your strength will not be a problem," Lin Moyu said.
How could she possibly bring herself to personally kill Lin Moyu?
Before she had figured it out, she heard Lin Moyu say again,
"Back in the small world, in order to raise my techniques, I found a friend and had him constantly kill me.
"Later, in order to improve my strength, I repeatedly courted death and killed myself.
"Elder sister, do not worry, I will not die.
"So you can kill at ease.
"It is just that killing me will take some effort.
"I am not very easy to kill."
It was the first time someone had said he was "not very easy to kill."
Lin Mohan did not know whether to laugh or cry as she listened.
Her little brother's way of doing things was unexpectedly out of the ordinary.
She had clearly watched him grow up, yet only now did she realize that she had long since failed to understand Lin Moyu.
Although she still felt some hesitation in her heart, Lin Mohan still took out her sword.
"My sword is a Great Supreme supreme treasure, forged with Heaven-and-Earth fine gold and condensed with the sword Dao. It can cut apart anything.
"Little brother, you are sure there is no problem?"
"No problem. Remember to use your full strength," Lin Moyu said.
Lin Mohan swung her sword.
Sword light split the sky and fell upon Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu had already withdrawn his defenses and forcibly suppressed his own techniques, not allowing the Domain Heaven-and-Earth or the Undying Spirits to share any of his damage.
Only thus could Lin Mohan kill him more easily.
Within the sword light, small wounds appeared upon Lin Moyu's skin.
A sword that could cut down a quasi Great Supreme could only cause some flesh wounds.
Just as Lin Moyu had said, he was indeed very hard to kill.
Even after withdrawing all his defenses, it was still so.
From within the sword light came Lin Moyu's voice.
"Elder sister, put in some strength.
"This will not do."
Lin Mohan answered with a quiet sound, then let out a low shout.
"One Sword Cuts the Dao."
This time she swung with full strength.
The storm instantly froze still.
Sword light burst out from the storm and tore it completely apart.
A ray of light appeared in the lower domain, and half of the lower domain trembled.
The sword light ripped open the lower domain's void, as if it would split the lower domain in two.
But that situation only lasted for a single breath.
The sword light suddenly drew back and all sword intent condensed into one point, then exploded.
In this sword, Lin Mohan used her full strength, and with Lin Moyu's full cooperation, they finally achieved their goal.
Lin Moyu's body was sliced into quarters, and his soul was the same.
In the eyes of Heaven-and-Earth, Lin Moyu had been killed.
A faint ray of light that only Lin Mohan could see descended from Heaven-and-Earth, carrying its reward.
Having slain the Heaven-and-Earth enemy, Heaven-and-Earth naturally sent down a reward.
Just as Lin Moyu had said, as long as she killed him, Lin Mohan would gain benefits and her strength would soar.
Lin Mohan's feelings were complicated at this moment.
She had personally cut down Lin Moyu.
Though she knew it was not a true killing, it still felt uncomfortable.
Purple light flashed in front of her and Lin Moyu's calm voice came from within the light.
"Nine Heavens Fate Technique."
Lin Moyu used the Nine Heavens Fate Technique to forcibly modify the rules and extend the duration of Heaven-and-Earth's reward so that Lin Mohan could gain more benefits.
Black clouds covered the sky as they swept in.
Forcibly modifying the Heaven-and-Earth rules would inevitably bring punishment.
Within the purple light, Lin Moyu completed rebirth and said calmly,
"Here it comes again, and still you cannot do anything to me.
"Over and over, are you not tired of this?"
His words made Lin Mohan laugh despite herself.
Only Xiaoyu could treat Heaven-and-Earth punishment as nothing.
"If I treated it seriously, I would not be a Heaven-and-Earth enemy," Lin Moyu said.
"Come on, elder sister, keep killing me."
"Again?"
Lin Mohan froze for a moment.
She had thought killing him once would be enough; she had not expected Lin Moyu to have her continue.
"Since you have already killed me, you might as well kill me a few more times and get as many benefits as possible.
"Otherwise, what a waste of this round of Heaven-and-Earth punishment," Lin Moyu said.
As he spoke, he withdrew some distance so that Lin Mohan would not be implicated by him.
"One Sword Cuts the Dao."
Lin Mohan swung her sword again.
Sword light swept out, even stronger than before.
Lin Mohan could clearly feel her strength increasing and her sword intent growing denser, and all of this had been brought by Lin Moyu.
Within the sword light, Lin Moyu was killed once more.
Heaven-and-Earth's reward fell silently again, but this time it was not as strong as the previous one; the effect the second time was much weaker.
Within the purple light, Lin Moyu was reborn again and kept using the Nine Heavens Fate Technique to modify the rules as much as possible so that Lin Mohan would gain more benefits.
"It is a pity elder sister's strength is still not enough, otherwise I could borrow her hand to carry out my great work of courting death.
"Perhaps after elder sister becomes a Supreme, we can try again," Lin Moyu thought.
If Lin Mohan would not do, no one else would either.
It was too hard now to find a place where he could properly court death.
If he directly went to the Life-Forbidden Zone, he would likely never return.
For now, the only idea he had was to wait until Lin Mohan became a Supreme and then try again.
Apart from that, there was another method, but that method still lacked some necessary conditions and could not yet be attempted.
"Again," Lin Moyu called in a low voice.
Sword light swept over once more as Lin Mohan killed Lin Moyu a third time.
Heaven-and-Earth's reward continued to fall, but the effect grew weaker and weaker.
On Lin Moyu's side, the Heaven-and-Earth punishment turned into endless lightning and swallowed him up.
Lin Moyu ignored the Heaven-and-Earth punishment and had Lin Mohan keep cutting him down again and again.
For him, dying a few times was nothing at all, not even a warm up.
After he had died ten times in a row, Lin Moyu felt that Heaven-and-Earth's reward had become extremely faint, almost nonexistent.
He said nothing further.
He knew that his value had already been squeezed dry, and even if he kept killing himself, Lin Mohan would not gain much more.
"That is enough. You all can disperse now."
Lin Moyu let out a light sigh and waved his hand, sending the purple light scattering.
"Elder sister, get used to the new strength.
"I will stay here and be struck by lightning for a while longer."
Heaven-and-Earth punishment still needed some time before it would vanish.
Lin Moyu had been repeatedly modifying the rules, so the duration of Heaven-and-Earth punishment had been greatly extended.
Terrifying sword intent surged from Lin Mohan's body, covered a huge region, and reformed into a storm to keep everyone out.
Judging from aura alone, Lin Mohan now was at least fifty percent stronger than before and no weaker than Heaven Calamity Great Supreme and the others.
A few days later, the Heaven-and-Earth punishment finally dissipated.
Lin Moyu had a smile on his face.
"Congratulations to elder sister on your great advance in cultivation."
Lin Mohan let out a soft sigh, filled with many emotions.
"I did not expect it to be so easy to grow stronger."
"This is not easy," Lin Moyu shook his head.
"Hun-Tian Wild Dragon tried many times to kill me and never succeeded.
"He does not even have the chance to grow stronger.
"To have a younger brother at home is like having a treasure."
In less than a day, her cultivation had increased by fifty percent and her combat strength had doubled.
This was something one would not dare to dream of, yet it happened to her.
At this realm, for others to raise their cultivation even a little required countless conditions, countless insights, and countless opportunities, but in Lin Moyu's eyes it was so easy.
Lin Mohan's heart was joyful yet complex at this moment.
No wonder her little brother dared to say that Supreme was not the end.
She did not know where his end would be.
"Now elder sister's combat strength is no weaker than anyone's.
"If you and I join forces, elder sister will definitely be able to sit on the Supreme's throne," Lin Moyu said.
"Xiaoyu's plan must be foolproof. Elder sister will become a Supreme," Lin Mohan said.
"When elder sister becomes a Supreme, little brother will give elder sister another gift," Lin Moyu said.
From the distance, an aura rose up.
Lin Moyu and Lin Mohan turned their heads at the same time to look.
"A Great Supreme is coming," Lin Moyu said quietly.
"It is Black Cloud Great Supreme of the lower domain.
"He left for many years. I did not expect him to return now," Lin Mohan said.
"As far as I know, Black Cloud Great Supreme is a friend of Heaven Calamity Great Supreme," Lin Moyu said.
Lin Mohan shook her head.
"Not a friend.
"To be precise, Black Cloud Great Supreme is Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's junior.
"They come from the same sect and the two are tied by life-and-death friendship.
"Back then, Black Cloud Great Supreme always followed Heaven Calamity Great Supreme.
"Half the credit for him becoming a Great Supreme belongs to Heaven Calamity Great Supreme."
From Lin Mohan's words, Black Cloud Great Supreme was clearly on the same side as Heaven Calamity Great Supreme.
"He was not in the lower domain before. I guess he probably already knew about Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's matters," Lin Mohan continued.
Lin Moyu took out the Heaven Calamity Staff and transmitted his voice to Hongmeng Gem.
"See whether he has Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's aura on him."
Hongmeng Gem's level was high enough to see many things and he would not be discovered by Black Cloud Great Supreme.
Hongmeng Gem glowed slightly and soon transmitted back.
"He has the aura of a Time Essence Stone on him."
"The aura of a Time Essence Stone," Lin Moyu said.
"That is enough."
Heaven Calamity Great Supreme had obtained a Time Essence Stone and used it.
His body would certainly be stained with the aura of the Time Essence Stone.
The Time Essence Stone had a special trait: once it was used, it would leave a unique aura that could remain for hundreds of millions of years without dissipating, and it could even be passed on to people who stayed in close contact for long periods.
Time Essence Stones were extremely rare.
Heaven Calamity Great Supreme had obtained one, and since Black Cloud Great Supreme had this aura on him, he must have been together with Heaven Calamity Great Supreme for a long time and so had also been contaminated with its aura.
"It is strange. Strange why he chose to return now," Lin Mohan said.
"He must have something to do.
"The great calamity is about to reach its peak and Heaven Calamity Great Supreme should be ready to act.
"In his layout, the four Great Supremes Black Cloud, Boyang, Purple Star, and Baizhong, as well as several quasi Great Supremes, are all his chess pieces.
"When he acts, it will definitely be the chess pieces that move first.
"Especially this Black Cloud Great Supreme, who is probably not only a chess piece, but also Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's messenger.
"If I am not mistaken, his target this time should be Space God Mountain," Lin Moyu said.
Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's primary targets would surely be Dao and Hun-Tian Wild Dragon, particularly Dao.
Heaven Calamity Great Supreme had once used Dao to lay out his scheme, so he should be most familiar with Dao.
The twelve grand arrays were prepared for Dao.
Space God Mountain was Dao's body.
Given Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's character, once he acted it would be a thunderous strike, directly killing the other so they could never rise again.
Black Cloud Great Supreme's sudden return almost allowed one to conclude that Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's first target when he moved would be Dao.
Besides Dao, there was Lin Moyu himself.
At that time Heaven Calamity Great Supreme would inevitably activate the grand arrays, and Lin Moyu would bear the backlash of the grand arrays' attacks.
Heaven Calamity Great Supreme would kill two birds with one stone, dealing with Dao and at the same time gaining benefits from Lin Moyu.
Unfortunately, the formations had been tampered with by Lin Moyu, so Heaven Calamity's scheme would not work.
"Should we just kill him first?" Lin Mohan asked.
"No need. It is not yet time for us to make a move," Lin Moyu thought aloud.
Countless runes flew out from his hand, passed through the storm, and formed a grand array outside the storm.
In an instant, the aura of the storm vanished completely.
Lin Moyu used a formation to conceal it.
"Right now there is still some time before the great calamity reaches its peak.
"I need to set up a few things.
"Elder sister, do not be in a hurry to act. Wait for my message," Lin Moyu said.
Lin Mohan nodded.
"Alright, you go handle your matters."
Lin Moyu came and went in a hurry; once he had finished, he immediately left.
For him, time was limited.
Now his Language-God Heaven-and-Earth had only nine hundred years left before its life-and-death tribulation.
He had to raise the Language-God Heaven-and-Earth to its peak within nine hundred years.
The great calamity of the Chaos Ancient Wilds would reach its peak in another two or three hundred years.
Lin Moyu walked through the lower domain and countless runes flew from his fingertips, silently falling into the earth and seeping into the rules of Heaven-and-Earth.
He spent several years traveling through every corner of the lower domain, unnoticed by anyone.
After that, Lin Moyu arrived in the middle domain.
He used ten years to walk through the entire middle domain, leaving behind innumerable runes.
Lin Moyu was shrouded by countless runes.
The runes formed a formation that covered all his aura.
The level of the formation surpassed that of the Chaos Ancient Wilds and contained the Nine Heavens Fate Technique; even the rules of Heaven-and-Earth could not sense Lin Moyu's whereabouts.
After the middle domain, Lin Moyu headed to the upper domain and then to the Four Extremes.
Over nearly a hundred years, Lin Moyu left countless runes in the Four Extremes and the three domains.
During this hundred-plus years, the great calamity grew worse.
Countless living beings were influenced by the calamity and killings were endless.
Quasi Great Supremes had already taken action, further intensifying the battles.
The Great Supremes were still somewhat restrained, but if the great calamity continued, they would not remain quiet for long.
In this hundred years, it was as if Lin Moyu, the Heaven-and-Earth enemy, had vanished from the Heaven-and-Earth.
No one knew where he had gone or what he was doing.
A hundred years later, Lin Moyu entered the Ancient Wilds.
Looking back at the Chaos from the Ancient Wilds, Lin Moyu used the runes he had laid to bring the entire Chaos into his view.
"Heaven Calamity Great Supreme, your formation Dao is still too weak."
He smiled in his heart.
Compared with him, Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's formation Dao was no longer on the same level.
In a hundred years, his runes had spread across the Chaos.
He used the rules of Heaven-and-Earth as the formation base, and this was far stronger than Heaven Calamity Great Supreme's twelve grand arrays.
As he laid his formations, Lin Moyu also comprehended formations, deepening his understanding of formation Dao.
Formations were not only formations within Heaven-and-Earth, but also formations outside Heaven-and-Earth.
As long as one understood to the extreme, they could be used not only in the Chaos Ancient Wilds, but also in other Heavens-and-Earth, and even in the Life-Forbidden Zone.
Lin Moyu still clearly remembered when he had first come into contact with the Heaven-and-Earth Wall.
He had once caused the barrier of the Heaven-and-Earth Wall to appear.
That barrier was an incomparably profound formation.
With his level of formation Dao at the time, he could not see through it.
From that moment on, he knew that he was still far from reaching the end point of formation Dao.
"Master, I have found another Heaven-and-Earth."
The little tree's voice came.
With a thought, Lin Moyu entered the Language-God Heaven-and-Earth and arrived before the little tree.
