Chapter 4120: 4120 Chapter 4120: Brushing the Edge The formation network continuously issued warnings, with streaks of radiant light bursting in the sky, dazzling and brilliant. Numerous formations activated automatically, and the Origin Mountains within the Hengduan Range erupted with resplendent light, supplying power to the vast array of formations. Elsewhere on the battlefield, the terrain could shift and formations were unstable, but not in the Hengduan Mountains. Here, the formations had existed for countless years, and the geography had never changed. Thanks to these formations, the Hengduan Mountains kept the Dao Wild Beasts firmly at bay. Unless the beasts launched an all out assault, the Eternals were confident they could hold them back. After all, on the other side of the Great Wilderness, the Spirit Demon Clan was also a check, and even the Beast Emperors had to be cautious. The Hengduan Mountains were vast, and each beast tide struck at a different location. This time, the beast tide erupted a hundred thousand li from where the trio stood. Fortunately, that distance meant little to them they arrived at the site in an instant. From afar, they saw rolling black clouds: a dense horde of Dao Wild Beasts, numbering over a million, with tens of thousands of Beast Kings among them. Compared to the outer battlefield, the proportion of Beast Kings in the Great Wilderness was much higher. The Lord of Power sighed in relief, "Good, no Beast Emperors." Lin Moyu sensed the approaching beast aura, his gaze rising to the clouds above. "There’s someone hiding in the cloud layer." The Lord of Power was puzzled. "In the Dao Cloud? The Dao there is chaotic if you enter, you can’t use even a tenth of your power. Why hide there?" Lin Moyu shook his head, "But he’s definitely in there." An Yuyan asked, "Could it be the one who smashed the Origin Mountain?" Lin Moyu replied, "It’s possible. The Lord of Power is right the Dao Cloud is a tangled web of Daos, extremely chaotic. Anyone inside loses most of their strength. Unless..." An Yuyan pressed, "Unless what?" Lin Moyu said, "Unless the person has surpassed Eternity and touched that level. Then, not only would the chaos of the Dao Cloud not affect them, they could actually harness it for even greater power." The Dao Cloud was formed by countless intertwining Dao forces, chaotic and ever present above the battlefield. Even Eternals would be weakened inside. But, as Lin Moyu explained, if someone surpassed Eternity, they could control the chaos and use it to their advantage. The Lord of Power instinctively doubted this, but remembered the giant claw that once descended from the Dao Cloud. An Yuyan asked, "Is there any way to deal with this?" Lin Moyu replied, "No. If I were Eternal, I’d charge into the Dao Cloud and fight, but as a Dao Lord, I’m still lacking. For now, we’ll just have to see what he does." An Yuyan sensed Lin Moyu was holding something back, but his words were flawless and left no room for argument. His previous performance had been so impressive that even when facing Eternals, he always seemed in control. The Lord of Power didn’t doubt him. "Guess we’ll just have to wait and see." Lin Moyu said, "We don’t have to just wait we can provoke him and see if he’ll act." "How?" asked the Lord of Power. "These Dao Wild Beasts are here to activate the formations in the Hengduan Mountains. If our opponent strikes, it’ll be at the natural formations. If we stop the beasts from reaching the formations, he’ll have trouble targeting them. If he’s not smart, he’ll probably get angry." The Lord of Power still didn’t quite get it, but An Yuyan said, "We’ll leave it to you, Daoist Lin." Lin Moyu said, "No problem." He snapped his fingers, and instantly his army of undead servants transformed into divine dragons, surging forward like a storm. They pierced into the beast horde, and a fierce battle erupted. The undead servants were between Dao Wild Beasts and Beast Kings in strength, but they had a huge numbers advantage. Against a million beasts, Lin Moyu sent out ten million undead ten for every beast. The Lord of Power stared in shock. "You have that many Dao Lord level puppets?" He mistook the undead for Lin Moyu’s puppets, and Lin Moyu didn’t bother to correct him. The beast tide never reached the formation network Lin Moyu’s undead intercepted them midway. Many beasts were slain, and the Beast Kings were beset and unable to break through. The formation network activated, but wasn’t impacted, so it didn’t reveal itself only a faint glow shone across the mountains, making it hard to spot the natural formations. The battle raged for a while, with half the beasts dead or wounded, when the figure in the Dao Cloud finally roared in anger. A dozen giant claw marks appeared out of nowhere, some slashing into the battlefield, others striking toward the Hengduan Mountains. Unable to probe with the beast tide, he attacked directly. As soon as the formation network was fully triggered, he could pinpoint and destroy the natural formations. "Great Dao World Ending Palm!" Lin Moyu shouted, unleashing several palms to meet the giant claws. An Yuyan called out, "Don’t let those claws touch the formations!" She instantly used her fruit technique, causing several claws to vanish. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 The Lord of Power roared, "One Fist to Steady the Heavens!" Countless fist shadows filled the sky, blocking the claws. From the Dao Cloud came another angry roar, and another claw struck, even stronger than before just like the one that destroyed the natural formation. Lin Moyu said quietly, "Retreat don’t face it head on!" The trio immediately fell back, letting the claw hit the mountains. The formation network activated, but only two formations responded those the claw struck. The others were bystanders. The Dao force around the claw was severed, so the other formations didn’t respond. This confirmed Lin Moyu’s earlier theory. After this strike, the beast horde suddenly retreated like a receding tide. Lin Moyu also withdrew his undead, not pursuing. The Lord of Power said, "That last strike was strong, but I think we could have blocked it." Lin Moyu replied, "No need to risk it. If anyone got hurt, it wouldn’t be worth it. It’s just two formations we can restore them easily. Plus, I got to observe our opponent’s strength. When facing the unknown, gathering information is key." An Yuyan asked, "Did you learn anything?" Lin Moyu said, "I’m sure he’s only brushed the edge of that realm he can manage one strike, but for now, he’s not a real threat. But we can’t force him out yet, which is troublesome. I still don’t know what he really is. I’ll have to think of something."
