Chapter 3877: Three
"Origin Continent!"
"You're actually from the Origin Continent!"
Just these four words made the firebird's feathers stand on end, its tone changing, even tinged with fear.
Lin Moyu smiled. "Looks like you've been to the Origin Continent before. How was it? Did you suffer a loss there?"
The firebird replied, "At the time, we had already admitted defeat. We even moved our entire world away. That matter is already over."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "I don't think so. The karma between us isn't severed, so it's not over yet.
Rest easy. After this, I'll come to your world too, so you all can experience what it feels like to be invaded."
The firebird sensed Lin Moyu's intent and stopped begging. "You'll never find our world."
Lin Moyu chuckled. "Finding your world is easy. I have many ways for example, I can follow the thread of karma. It's not hard at all!"
Fear flashed in the firebird's eyes. The Cause and Effect Great Dao was too mysterious maybe he really could find it. Looking at the hundreds of beings around it, each as strong as itself, a trace of despair rose in its eyes.
"Fine! I'll fight you to the death!"
The firebird shrieked, its body exploding into deep crimson flames.
Its power soared, surpassing its own limits.
Its aura now matched some of the world lords from the Jumu Great Spirit Domain.
"Burn my body, ignite my soul, return to my ancestral origin!"
With a piercing cry, a dark firebird appeared in the void.
It trailed a huge, ornate, beautiful tail behind it.
This firebird, having reverted to its ancestral form, radiated a terrifying aura, its gaze icy cold as it spat out three words:
"Kill you!"
It shot forward like a flaming arrow, instantly breaking through the undead servants' encirclement and charging at Lin Moyu.
With the arrow before him, Lin Moyu didn't dodge he took it head on!
He just happened to want to test his own defenses.
Could this being, now at world lord level and going all out, actually injure him?
The terrifying power struck him, and Lin Moyu's body glowed faintly, origin energy leaking out, his body naturally becoming a black hole, absorbing all the attack.
The tremendous force passed through his body and entered the Myriad Worlds.
Within the Myriad Worlds, all the Daos rang out, and the attack was shared among the thousands of billions of undead servants.
What looked like a mighty attack, once divided into billions, wasn't so mighty anymore.
Lin Moyu slowly raised his hand, grabbed the fire arrow, and smiled faintly. "This level of attack can't kill me."
A shocked voice came from within the fire arrow. "Impossible! How can you block my attack?"
Lin Moyu smiled. "You can't even accept the truth?"
With a thought, all the undead servants appeared at his side, swinging their greatswords imbued with the Water Great Dao.
Amidst miserable screams, the fire arrow shattered, the firebird's body and bones were destroyed.
Its soul was sliced to pieces it died on the spot.
Lin Moyu grabbed a fragment of its soul, and before it could dissipate, the Undying Flame blazed forth.
He activated Infinite Summon, using the soul as a guide and the true spirit as the root, reviving the firebird.
This chaos spell, fusing five spell stars, did not disappoint Lin Moyu at all.
The shattered soul quickly reassembled, the remaining fragments were pulled back, and the body began to regenerate.
In just a few minutes, a firebird with Origin Dao Lord level power appeared before Lin Moyu.
The resurrected firebird prostrated itself before Lin Moyu and respectfully said, "Fire Three greets Master."
Lin Moyu asked, "Your name is Fire Three?"
Fire Three replied honestly, "In the Blazing Fire Realm, I'm ranked third, so I'm called Fire Three. Above me are Fire Two and Fire One."
In a world dominated by firebirds, even the names are simple.
Many single race worlds are like this; only diverse worlds get complicated.
Lin Moyu asked, "How many Dao Lords do you have?"
Fire Three said, "There were originally thirteen Dao Lords. During the Origin Catastrophe, we lost seven. Later, we escaped, and over the years, three more Dao Lords were born. Now, there are nine left."
Lin Moyu continued, "How strong are they?"
Fire Three said, "Fire One is the strongest, much stronger than me. Fire Two is about the same as me, the rest are weaker."
It didn't know exactly how strong Fire One was, just that he was very strong enough to defeat all the other Dao Lords combined.
Lin Moyu figured Fire One's cultivation should already be at the world lord level.
He asked, "Does your world have a world lord?"
Fire Three said, "There wasn't before, but long ago, Fire One received some guidance, saying he could become the lord of the world, so he began refining the world will.
But the process is very slow he's been refining it for over a hundred thousand years, and it's said he's almost done."
Lin Moyu frowned. "Who gave him that guidance?"
Fire Three shook its head. "I don't know. Fire One encountered someone by chance while out, and after returning, he went into seclusion. He said if he waited any longer, it would be too late and we'd all die.
I asked him what he meant by 'too late.'"
"Fire One said the world will was about to take form. If he didn't speed up, we'd all die."
After saying this, Fire Three stayed quietly to the side, saying no more.
Outsiders would never guess Fire Three was a revived being, just a silent, taciturn firebird.
Lin Moyu asked, "He didn't mention anything else? Like where this method came from?"
Fire Three shook its head. "He didn't say anything else."
Lin Moyu knew Fire Three wasn't lying. If it said it didn't know, then it really didn't.
He thought for a moment and said quietly, "When this is over, you'll lead me to the Blazing Fire Realm."
Fire Three didn't hesitate at all. "As you command."
Lin Moyu continued, "Now tell me about your situation with the Black Spider Realm."
Fire Three said, "The Black Spider Realm is a world not far from us. During the Origin Catastrophe, we moved over and accidentally entered their territory.
Although we quickly retreated, the Black Spider Realm was still furious and sent strong fighters to attack us.
We were injured, but our top strength remained, so we weren't afraid.
Once, we even wanted to invade and conquer the Black Spider Realm. But they had their world will take form ahead of time, blocking our attack, and we lost again.
Fire One said not to rush once he finished refining the world will and it matured, we could settle the score with the Black Spider Realm."
To erase the will of a world and become its true master only humans with soul stealing techniques could do that.
Clearly, this Fire One had come into contact with the Human Emperor; if not directly, then at least indirectly.
The Human Emperor gave him the soul stealing technique, allowing him to erase the Blazing Fire Realm's will and become the world lord.
But why did the Human Emperor do this? Lin Moyu couldn't figure it out.
Maybe after a few days, when he meets Fire One, he'll get an answer.
Lin Moyu asked Fire Three some more questions and learned a bit about the Blazing Fire Realm.
A month later, the nameless world was completely refined, turning into a beautiful world crystal that landed in Lin Moyu's hand.
He tossed it straight into the Myriad Worlds to be absorbed and refined.
The effect of a world crystal was even better than Desolate Beast Essence, with tremendous benefits.
At the same time, the World Burning Fire was fully recharged during the refining, growing stronger.
