Chapter 4182: 4182 Chapter 4182: An Experiment The dragon scale gleamed brightly, radiating vibrant vitality it signaled that Candle Dragon was not only safe but even stronger than before. "Congratulations on your transcendence. Until we meet again!" Lin Moyu knew Candle Dragon had transcended and entered the chaos. He put away the dragon scale and looked up at the sky. Holes opened one after another in the clouds of the Great Dao, and endless heavenly energy cascaded down like waterfalls. The realm’s rules and their guardian had departed, and with no one to govern the laws, chaos began to spread. This disruption would last for some time. When it reached its peak, the rules would search for a new manager. Lin Moyu waited for that time to come. He continued arranging formations. Previously, the 108 filth pools had formed a natural array this could assist in nurturing the wild beasts and refining Dao filth, giving the residue a channel to flow away so it wouldn’t accumulate and cause disaster. Now the pools had been purified, yet the natural array still remained. When some pools had been partially purified, their conflicting properties had diminished the array’s effectiveness. But with all pools soon to be purified, unity was restored, and the natural array could function at full power once again. This natural array was part of Lin Moyu’s plan a tool to be used well. He placed his own formation over the entire area, covering all 108 pools. Large amounts of Dao filth converged, repeatedly refined and purified by the arrays, transforming into filth power. This filth power was the extreme limit of energy in the realm, yet Lin Moyu still felt something was missing what was absent was Dao essence. Filth power and Dao essence are the two fundamental forces of the realm’s heaven and earth; using either alone one could break the realm’s limit and achieve transcendence. But to Lin Moyu, both were incomplete. Only by merging these two forces into a unified whole could one attain the truly perfect power the strongest that could exist in this realm. His formation was designed precisely to unify these powers. Tens of thousands of formations gradually closed in, forming a single entity. The refined filth gathered at the center of the array, but after all these years, there was only enough to make a sphere the size of a baby’s fist. At this time, the Soulless Beast’s purification was also nearly complete the final royal pool was about to be purified. Lin Moyu soared high above and distanced himself from the array, as activating it would cause a huge upheaval. No one could predict what might happen when the two fundamental forces merged, so for safety, he kept well away. An Yuyan joined him. "What is this array for?" She couldn’t understand it, but since Lin Moyu was always busy, she hadn’t disturbed him until he’d stopped. Old Yinhead pricked up his ears he understood the basics of a few arrays, but when they were all combined, he was lost. Driven by his fascination with formations, he was desperate to know their use. Lin Moyu didn’t hesitate to explain: "There are two fundamental forces in the world yang is Dao essence, yin is filth power. When combined, they become the foundation of heaven and earth. "When heaven and earth first opened, this fundamental force evolved into all the myriad Daos, which then birthed yin and yang. Dao essence is yang, used for our cultivation. Filth is yin, and when it disperses it becomes Dao residue the origin of the wild beasts. "Now, I use this formation to refine Dao residue, letting it return to its root and become filth power again. Then, through purified pools in the array, I condense Dao essence. Finally, by merging them, I restore the original fundamental force of the world." After this explanation, both listeners understood. But Old Yinhead had another question, "Daoist Lin, that answers a lot for me, but do you know what’s with the Soul Devouring Spirits?" Since he’d explained so much, Lin Moyu went on, "The realm was born from chaos. That chaos splits into two: one is the fundamental power we just discussed; it separates into yin and yang, evolving all things. The other becomes realm force, forming the world’s boundaries and so on. "Realm force also splits into yin and yang, forming domain walls and the Soul Devouring Spirits. Normally, the Soul Devouring Spirits are just realm impurities, but they’re also the last and hardest trial on the road to transcendence." An Yuyan was astonished, "I thought the last step was the hardest?" Lin Moyu shook his head, "Just my opinion, but the last step isn’t as hard as overcoming the Soul Devouring Spirits. Especially the Soul Devouring Spirit King it’s bizarre and unpredictable. I’ve fought it before and nearly died." Old Yinhead gasped. If even Lin Moyu had nearly died, what hope would they have against such a foe? An Yuyan wasn’t interested in the last step now, but instead asked, "So what good comes of merging these into the fundamental force?" Lin Moyu said, "Mostly for research; I’m fascinated by these things and want to start from the foundation." An Yuyan seemed to understand Lin Moyu had once mentioned this in passing, and she asked no more. Old Yinhead was more direct, "Hope Daoist Lin gets something out of it." Lin Moyu chuckled, "Just an experiment. There are many things in heaven and earth that must go with the flow if you grasp too much, you might lose more." At last, the Soulless Beast completed purifying the last royal pool. The natural array fully revived and shifted into motion. This time, the power swirling inside was no longer Dao residue but pure Dao force without any attribute, unlinked to any specific Dao, pure beyond compare. The natural array activated, and Lin Moyu also triggered his own array, channeling that force out for further refinement. It was no different from purifying filth power the final product was Dao essence. Merging Dao essence and filth power brought them back to their primordial root the world’s foundational force. Threads of Dao essence emerged and touched the filth power. Boom! Heaven and earth trembled; a terrifying power erupted, destroying countless arrays. The violent clash of these two opposing forces unleashed unimaginable destruction, shattering over a thousand arrays and leveling the land. That was from just a wisp if there were a hundred times more, the Great Wilderness itself would be flattened. With enough power, even a whole realm could be destroyed. Both Old Yinhead and An Yuyan were tongue tied by the scale of the power, especially its level it had already surpassed eternity. Fortunately, there wasn’t more, or they could have been injured as well. Lin Moyu remained calm: "As expected, it’s not that easy looks like something is missing." An Yuyan instinctively asked, "What’s missing?" Lin Moyu said, "A catalyst, I think." With that, he sent forth many divine runes to repair the arrays.
