Chapter 4833: Chapter 4833: Dao Heart Source Stones Chapter 4833: Dao Heart Source Stones "Runes as flesh, heart as bone, soul as spirit. "Formation complete." A grand array roared into existence. The runes formed the flesh and blood of the formation, the Dao heart served as its skeletal foundation, and the soul transformed into the array’s spirit. At the moment the array was completed, it erupted with terrifying power and forced several Primal Chaos apex powerhouses back. A phantom figure, eight tenths similar to Lin Moyu in appearance, emerged from within the formation. This was the formation spirit but not an ordinary one. A common formation spirit could only control an array. This one, however, wrapped the entire grand formation around itself like armor, turning it into divine weapons and battle plate. Clad in the formation, the spirit became a bolt of lightning and flashed toward one of the apex powerhouses. The instant they clashed, that apex powerhouse was suppressed. The Primal Chaos Supreme Treasure sword struck the spirit, but it did not dodge in the slightest and took the blow head on. The Supreme Treasure could not harm it at all. This formation combined offense and defense, possessing the pinnacle defensive power and offensive strength of the Formation Dao. The formation spirit practically crushed the apex powerhouse, beating him down without any chance to retaliate. Lin Moyu’s fingers moved again and again. The protective light of his Dao heart coiled around him as one array after another took shape, and formation spirit after formation spirit was born. The spirits engaged the apex powerhouses and forced them down. Their formations were both sword and shield; killing their opponents was only a matter of time. Formation spirits were exceedingly rare ten million formations might not give birth to a single one, yet under Lin Moyu’s hand, they appeared one after another. "So this is what it means for the Formation Dao to be complete. "Truly not reliant on external things "the Dao heart itself is the finest formation material." "Formation spirits are no longer a matter of luck. "If I want them, they appear; if I do not, they do not." "Using arrays to manifest spirits is only one method. "That is not the true strength of a perfected Formation Dao." "Let us see how far formations can go after achieving perfection." With the apex powerhouses all suppressed by the formation spirits, Lin Moyu strode toward the divine hall. He advanced until he was stopped by an invisible force and could go no further. Dozens of runes flew out, wrapped in the light of his Dao heart, and formed a grand array. The moment this array appeared, it radiated terrifying pressure. This one did not give rise to a formation spirit, yet the danger it exuded far surpassed the spirits. "This array is called the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation," Lin Moyu said. "It can break all techniques and slaughter all life." One thought one array that shattered ten thousand arts. One formation that could butcher the masses. The grand array trembled, and countless attacks blasted out of it toward the divine hall. Rosy light flared before the hall, but the invisible power blocking Lin Moyu was shattered in an instant by the formation. The aura within the divine hall surged outward. Lin Moyu stepped into that aura and approached the hall. Inside, a number of statues drifted in disarray. Just like the previous halls, countless motes of light floated within, each containing a strange world force, all of them shrouded by formations. In addition, there were statues. A quick glance counted precisely thirty seven statues. Adding the five Primal Chaos apex powerhouses from before, there were forty two in total. These forty two statues corresponded exactly to the forty two apex powerhouses who had failed to become God Servants. "Just as I suspected the forty two apex powerhouses who never became God Servants were turned into Undying Undead." "If I had never found a way to break the game, I would eventually face all forty two at once. "The difficulty of that..." He smiled faintly. "But now, the initiative is mine." With a gesture, the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation flew in from outside the hall, each blast of power smashing into the as yet unawakened statues. The statues shattered beneath the assault. Before they could animate, they were destroyed without a single chance to resist. The formation spirits swept in as well. As the statues were crushed, the apex powerhouses who existed as Undying Undead dissipated at the same time. Lin Moyu had a strong feeling that these apex powerhouses were not truly dead. "They look identical to Undying Undead, but something is still different." "What exactly is going on here? "What is that fellow trying to do?" He did not linger on the thought. Instead, he began dismantling the formations within the hall. Whatever the other side’s intentions, his own strength was the foundation of everything. As long as he was strong enough, he could handle any unforeseen event. With the Formation Dao perfected, his understanding of arrays had reached the absolute extreme; naturally, his methods of dissolution changed as well. The Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation dispersed and transformed into another array. The formation spirits he had created also self destructed and turned back into runes, flying into the Nine Heavens Slaughter Formation. Formations moved with his thoughts; any array he desired could be brought into being with a single idea. The grand formation became a net covering the entire hall. The net contracted, bringing every formation in the hall under its control. "Break." At his low command, every array the net passed through was unraveled. This was not brute force destruction. It was true dissolution. Lin Moyu was using formations to break formations a method of dismantling arrays he had developed himself. What once took several days to unravel was now undone in less than half a day, a many fold increase in speed. Point after point of light flew into his body and became nourishment for his growing flesh and soul. As he felt these changes, that familiar sensation only intensified, as though there was some deep connection between himself and those lights. After obtaining all the motes from the twentieth divine hall, his body and soul grew by another ten percent. Counting from the very first hall, he had now passed through twenty, and his body and soul had multiplied several times over. Ahead lay seventy nine more halls. Barring any accidents, he could continue to grow even stronger. Leaving the hall, he saw a new divine road, and before it stood a stone stele. This stele had not existed before. Sixteen large characters were carved upon it: "Comprehend the true meaning, let Dao heart divine light, be indestructible Formation Dao perfected." "He knows very well that only a perfected Formation Dao can pass that last trial." "How strange. "Why does this feel so familiar?" The feeling of familiarity surged again. Yet he could not say why, as though he had seen this stele somewhere before. The sixteen characters shone with a faint golden light. Then the stele cracked, and sixteen golden round stones flew out. The stele crumbled to dust, leaving only those sixteen golden orbs floating before him. Lin Moyu reached out and took one. The moment he touched it, he knew what it was. "Dao Heart Source Stone." This was a divine stone condensed from the power of one’s Dao heart. It turned the protective light of the Dao heart from intangible to tangible, solidifying it into stone Dao Heart Source Stone. Formed by Dao light, these stones could in turn nourish the Dao heart and strengthen its light. As the Dao heart’s light grew stronger, so too did any formation laid with it. Lin Moyu had already perfected his Formation Dao; his runes had reached the utmost limit. If he wanted to strengthen his formations even further, he could only enhance his Dao heart. Yet his Dao heart was already flawless and complete. Any improvement would be extremely difficult and require an unimaginably long time to polish tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years. The Dao Heart Source Stones, however, could save him an enormous amount of time. These sixteen stones would shorten his cultivation by an unimaginable margin. "Who condensed these Dao Heart Source Stones? "Even those Primal Chaos apex powerhouses might not be able to do it." "Someone with a Dao heart as perfect as mine "I have yet to see a second such person. "Moreover, these stones have existed for ages; they must have been here since long ago." Thinking it through, he felt that only the supreme Master spoken of by the hall spirit could have created these. Even for that being, condensing one Dao Heart Source Stone now would likely take at least a hundred million years. Putting away the stones, Lin Moyu stepped onto the divine road and moved forward.
