Chapter 3684: 3684 Chapter 3684: Private Intentions No one knew what had happened to Lin Moyu, how he became so formidable in just a few hundred years. He dispersed the Great Dao’s punishment with killing aura, condensed a Great Dao body, and spoke with authority, unleashing thunderous punishments. At this moment, Lin Moyu was like a representative of the Great Dao. Everyone was shocked, and anyone with a bit of sense could feel that Lin Moyu was not to be trifled with. Having the Mandate of Heaven, Lin Moyu could manipulate the Great Dao to some extent. If one were to confront him directly, it would be like opposing the Great Dao itself. For cultivators under the Great Dao, going against it was akin to seeking death. The Great Dao roared, and the light reappeared, with another punishment descending. This time, the punishment targeted Lin Moyu for dispersing the previous Great Dao punishment aimed at Antares. The Great Dao is impartial; it rewards and punishes accordingly, never offsetting one with the other. Lin Moyu understood this clearly and accepted it calmly. He had used killing aura to summon the Slaughter Dao, dispersing the Great Dao’s punishment and condensing a Great Dao body. Now, the Great Dao’s punishment fell upon the Slaughter Dao’s body, not his true self. Lin Moyu’s mind was clear; he knew that while the Great Dao seemed impartial, it wasn’t truly so. If someone else had done this, their true body would have been targeted, not just their avatar. But the Great Dao targeted his avatar, which could be seen as protection, since he was now aligned with the Great Dao. The light transformed into Great Dao whips that struck the Slaughter Dao body, causing its skin to split and flesh to tear. Lin Moyu allowed the Slaughter Dao body to suffer the punishment without penalty, as the killing aura was merely a byproduct of his actions over the years. The Slaughter Dao body being torn apart didn’t harm him. Antares gazed at Lin Moyu: "Kid, you’re impressive. What have you experienced these years?" Only Antares could see Lin Moyu’s cultivation level, which had reached the high stage of a third-tier soul’s Great Dao realm. This speed was terrifying, surpassing others who had cultivated for millions of years. Lin Moyu smiled without speaking. With a thought, he began drawing divine runes in the void, creating over a hundred at once. Initially, the speed was somewhat slow, but it quickly accelerated. The first hundred runes were completed in under ten seconds, combining to form an Formation. The next hundred runes were drawn even faster, taking only seven seconds. The third batch required just four seconds. Antares’s dragon mouth hung open in astonishment, unable to speak. His surprise was akin to fear in others’ eyes. Drawing divine runes wasn’t unusual; many Great Dao realms could do it to some extent. However, drawing hundreds simultaneously was different. Moreover, Lin Moyu didn’t even use his hands; he drew them purely with his soul power, and his speed increased. By the time he drew the fourth batch, it took only one second. This was almost as fast as "one thought forms a rune," a legendary feat. Someone exclaimed: "He can form runes with just a thought! It’s almost as if he’s achieved ’one thought forms a rune.’" "Not quite, but he needs only one second. Moreover, he can draw hundreds of runes at once, which is even more terrifying." "Is he a freak? Divine runes can be used like this?" "One thought forms a rune is already legendary, but he’s almost achieved forming a hundred runes with one thought. Those who specialize in divine runes can just retire." A thousand divine runes glimmered in the air, weaving into a sea of runes. Lin Moyu finally stopped. Antares asked: "What are you doing?" Lin Moyu replied lightly: "Just getting accustomed to things. The Void Realm and the real world are different. I’m also showing off a bit to warn some people not to bother me for now. I need to set up an Formation." One action, multiple purposes. The divine runes intertwined, quickly forming an Formation. In an instant, winds and clouds rose on the Origin Continent, as countless Great Dao energies transformed into mist and were drawn into the Formation, enveloping Lin Moyu and Antares. This Formation was a simplified version of the Thousand Paths and Myriad Phenomena Formation. Although its power wasn’t as great as the one in the Void Realm, it was enough to handle a second-tier soul’s Great Dao realm. As the Great Dao on the Origin Continent evolved, every hundred years, the power it could accommodate increased by one level. Currently, sixth-tier soul Great Dao realms could enter, and in another four hundred years, second-tier soul Great Dao realms would be able to descend. By then, even Antares would face trouble, as acting on the Origin Continent wasn’t easy. Causing damage would result in punishment. However, with the Thousand Paths and Myriad Phenomena Formation, there would be fewer concerns, allowing full use of the Formation to counter opponents. This Formation was not only Lin Moyu’s deterrent but also an experiment. He didn’t use origin crystals as materials; instead, he used his soul power to absorb Great Dao energy and maintain the divine runes. From his current perspective, using origin crystals for divine runes wasn’t the most brilliant method. The best approach was to fuse Great Dao energy with his soul, making the divine rune materials inexhaustible and highly effective. This was Lin Moyu’s insight from the Void Realm, which he confirmed was applicable on the Origin Continent after trying it. After setting up the Thousand Paths and Myriad Phenomena Formation, Lin Moyu crafted an Formation disk and handed it to Antares: "When I’m not here, please control this Formation. If the Great Dao imposes a punishment, you can also manipulate my Slaughter body to take the punishment." Lin Moyu looked up at the sky; the Great Dao whips were becoming fewer, and the punishment was nearing its end. The Slaughter body recovered, its killing aura intangible and difficult to break. Antares asked: "How long do you plan to stay?" Lin Moyu shook his head: "I don’t know. I’ve hit a bottleneck, and this step is difficult." Antares said: "Reaching the second-tier soul from the third-tier soul is a big bottleneck?" He recalled that he hadn’t faced such a significant hurdle in the past. Although it wasn’t easy, it wasn’t insurmountable. Lin Moyu could reach the high stage of a third-tier soul in just a few hundred years; how could he be stuck? Lin Moyu replied: "My situation is special; it’s hard to explain in a few words. After handling things here, I’ll re-enter the Void Realm." Antares asked: "What do you need to handle here? Apart from some native forces, those from the external Great Dao are relatively well-behaved and haven’t caused any trouble." Lin Moyu said: "People have private intentions. The Cold Water Holy Land’s ancestor is my friend, and the Holy Lord is my aunt. There are things I need to help with." Antares chuckled: "So that’s it. You’ve always been like this, leaving your mark everywhere, and it hasn’t changed even on the Origin Continent." Lin Moyu didn’t bother explaining; the dragon race was completely different from him in this regard. The Thousand Paths and Myriad Phenomena Formation rose with dense mist, spreading Great Dao energy and enveloping the surroundings, hiding their figures. Only Antares’s dragon head was faintly visible. With the Formation blocking the way, no one could see Lin Moyu’s cultivation level or know what he would do next.
