Chapter 4255: Changing the Battlefield
Divine runes transform in myriad ways, and so do formations.
The entire Fifth Generation Domain could be evolved from divine runes. With Lin Moyu's current mastery, he could freely achieve almost anything.
The formation before him was exactly that Lin Moyu pushed its power to the utmost according to his intent.
This formation had only one function: to absorb, drawing the target from one end to the other.
The simpler the function, the more powerful the effect. By Lin Moyu's estimate, this formation could even swallow an Eternal existence, making it hard to escape for a short time. If the opponent were a soul body, the effect would be doubled.
After setting the formation, Lin Moyu's palm displayed a phantom of the Vast World.
He connected the other end of the formation to a remote corner of the Vast World.
Lin Moyu's plan was to use this self created formation to draw the Ghost Husband's soul clone into the Vast World and deal with him there.
The chance of success was over seventy percent, an acceptable risk.
But Lin Moyu wasn't satisfied he hoped to raise the success rate even further.
The Soul less Beast was summoned by Lin Moyu originally making a body for Little Python, but now forced to interrupt.
"Master, please command!" The Soul less Beast was respectfully obedient, ready to do whatever Lin Moyu asked.
Lin Moyu said, "I will absorb the Ghost Husband into the Vast World with the formation. He will inevitably resist, likely causing turmoil in the domain core, which may affect some divine runes."
"You must do two things: stabilize the divine runes, and if there is strength left, help me control the Ghost Husband's clone."
Lin Moyu explained his plan to the Soul less Beast and asked for its opinion.
The Soul less Beast was intelligent, and knowing the domain core's rules better than most, it considered the plan feasible.
The remaining problem was the great battle after getting the Ghost Husband into the Vast World. Lin Moyu was prepared to pay any price.
He adjusted the layout inside the Vast World, trying to secure a large enough area.
But this adjustment had limits; it was impossible to compress all the contained worlds indefinitely.
When all was ready, Lin Moyu acted.
The Soul less Beast wielded the rules to conceal Lin Moyu's presence as he silently approached the Ghost Husband's clone.
It was Lin Moyu's first close encounter with the Ghost Husband's soul clone. Though only a fraction of a soul, it was still undeniably strong.
Its power was innate. When Lin Moyu compared it to his own soul, he felt significantly inferior.
The Ghost Husband's soul was like a thin, tough steel wire; Lin Moyu's soul was more like a boulder.
Though the boulder was sturdy, it could be cut by the steel wire.
Of course, Lin Moyu might fracture the wire, but this required subtlety.
The soul clone radiated a chilling coldness the nearer he got, the more oppressive it felt.
When distance closed below a hundred meters, Lin Moyu felt his soul was repeatedly frozen.
This freezing differed from the cold of the Ice Jade Mat; it was as if his thought flow was being suppressed, while hidden agitation threatened to erupt a violent impulse to roar.
He forced his Dao heart steady to resist the Ghost Husband's aura.
The Ghost Husband influenced Lin Moyu with only his natural aura indicating just how terrifying he was.
Lin Moyu believed the Ghost Husband at peak was probably no weaker than Heavenly Void Son.
Calming himself, Lin Moyu advanced further, finally stopping fifty meters from the clone.
Here he could see every detail. Behind the Ghost Husband's clone were eighteen special divine runes.
Unlike the Fifth Generation Palace Master, who extended countless hands to grasp every rune, the Ghost Husband only occupied eighteen.
But these eighteen divine runes were the root of the entire domain the oldest appearing in its evolution.
If reversed to origin, these eighteen runes could reform the domain seed.
If damaged, even if the domain itself didn't collapse, it would suffer severe injury.
The Ghost Husband's power extended from behind him as eighteen threads that tightly bound the eighteen rune seeds.
Lin Moyu whispered cautiously to the Soul less Beast, "Are you confident you can sever them?"
The Soul less Beast understood immediately, answering confidently, "No problem."
Though powerful, the Ghost Husband suppressed his strength to not violate the domain's rules, limiting himself to the peak of the Eternal Realm.
As the administrator of the rules, the Soul less Beast transformed rule power into blades it was no trouble at all to sever these strands.
Lin Moyu then produced the formation pre prepared.
"All right, I'm acting now!"
Together, Lin Moyu and the Soul less Beast drew a deep breath.
All or nothing.
The formation activated, instantly spreading out. A vortex appeared in the core region.
The Soul less Beast commanded the surrounding divine runes to disperse as far as possible, clearing space for Lin Moyu.
The vortex was immediately pushed to the limit, a vast power crashing down on the Ghost Husband's clone.
The clone awoke with a roar.
He originally was sleeping and needed time to wake fully.
This process was very brief, under 0.1 seconds, but enough time for Lin Moyu and the Soul less Beast to act.
As he roared, a flash crossed behind him.
A brilliant light formed from rule power an indestructible blade severing the connection between the Ghost Husband and the eighteen divine runes.
The vortex's power concurrently burst stronger as Lin Moyu infused his soul power into the formation, intensifying it.
The Ghost Husband's clone was uncontrollably pulled from its place and hurled toward the formation.
Roaring in rage, the Ghost Husband unleashed tremendous fury but it was useless; the formation's suction surpassed his limit.
A terrifying aura burst forth, forming a giant hand that reached for Lin Moyu.
Ice Jade Mat appeared beneath Lin Moyu's feet, cold energy gushing forth to freeze the Ghost Husband's aura.
Seeing this, the Ghost Husband's aura shattered, cold ice cracking.
He ceased attacking Lin Moyu and instead struck at the surrounding divine runes.
The Soul less Beast wielded the rule power, pressing from all directions to force back the Ghost Husband's aura and protect the runes.
Lin Moyu snorted coldly as he continued to strengthen the Ice Jade Mat; layers of chilling air surged toward the Ghost Husband.
Though it didn't freeze him completely, it markedly slowed his movements.
With their combined efforts, the Ghost Husband's clone could not resist and was forced into the vortex.
At the other end of the formation, a phantom of the Vast World appeared.
The phantom conflicted with the domain core, causing spatial fractures.
The Soul less Beast used the rules to stabilize space, but could only hold out so long.
"Go in!"
Lin Moyu kept pushing the formation, forcefully sucking the Ghost Husband's clone out of the domain core and into the Vast World.
The Vast World phantom vanished instantly.
Lin Moyu whispered, "I'll go kill him. Hold down the fort here."
The Soul less Beast softly affirmed, "Good!"
