Chapter 4260: A Ray of Light
Outside the domain, separated by the domain barrier, even though the barrier was extremely sturdy, in Lin Moyu's eyes it was not enough.
Over the years, he had simulated countless times in his mind what a battle with the Fifth Generation Heavenly Void Palace Master would be like.
At the moment he was awakened, a large number of divine runes in the core of the domain would be detonated, plunging the Five Domain World into chaos. At that time, the domain barrier would inevitably be damaged.
If both the inside and outside of the domain suffered damage, any further impact would put the domain at even greater risk.
If that person fell behind, he would certainly go mad and destroy the domain, choosing mutually assured destruction. This required advanced preparation.
The importance of this formation was self evident Lin Moyu's requirement was that it must withstand a full force blow from a Chaos Realm expert, at least once.
He used countless divine runes, forming layer after layer, continuously stacking them to increase the formation's defense.
The domain was vast even with Lin Moyu's speed, it took a full 2,000 years to finish setting up the formation.
At this moment, space within 100,000 li outside the domain barrier was like an armored fortress nothing could enter or leave.
If anyone attempted transcendence at this time, they would crash headlong into the formation and suffer terribly.
This formation was the pinnacle of Lin Moyu's formation mastery and was named "Firmament War Array."
It was, for now, his absolute best there was none better.
But the Firmament War Array was not just defensively powerful; it hosted further mysteries.
Inside the formation, a million vortices turned slowly, each with a core of countless divine runes.
A single glance could severely damage the soul of any Great Dao Lord; anyone below that level might have their soul instantly destroyed.
But even this wasn't the limit Lin Moyu also constructed a great teleportation array in the void.
This array consisted of a main and subsidiary array: the main array outside the domain, the subsidiary refined into a formation disk.
The dual teleportation array was a key step in his plan the very first step determining success or failure.
Just as when battling the Ghost Husband's clone, its function was to forcibly teleport the Fifth Generation Palace Master's true body here.
Once all this was complete, Lin Moyu teleported back to the domain core.
The Soul less Beast had been waiting for some time. "Master, the task you set is complete."
While setting up the Firmament War Array, Lin Moyu had given the Soul less Beast a job: gather domain force to supply for Lin Moyu to refine after his return.
Now, his own cultivation was limited by the Vast World so to increase his cultivation, he first had to enhance the Vast World.
Absorbing and refining power from the Five Domain World was the best and fastest way.
Strengthening the Vast World stepping past the last threshold and breaking through the Eternal stage was one of Lin Moyu's next goals.
This would take a long time.
When the Ghost Husband clone was refining domain force, it took endless years. Even with the Soul less Beast's help, it wouldn't be quick.
While refining domain force, he also delved into the Catastrophic Scepter's power.
His soul entered the Catastrophic Scepter for formal research for the first time he never had the qualifications before.
Now that he finally did, Lin Moyu hoped to find pleasant surprises.
If he could uncover new uses for the scepter, the plan's chance of success could increase.
Lin Moyu split his mind between the two tasks without the slightest strain.
With the Soul less Beast around, domain force flowed quickly much faster than what the Ghost Husband clone had obtained.
Additionally, the World Burning Fire purified the power at an astonishing rate, making domain force exceedingly pure, but Lin Moyu held back from infusing it into the Vast World immediately other preparations were not complete.
Compared to smoothly refining domain force, unraveling the Catastrophic Scepter's secrets was much more difficult.
His soul power flowed through the scepter and into several jewels, but they only glimmered symbolically, imparting no useful information.
Lin Moyu tried again, attempting to leave his soul imprint on the Catastrophic Scepter. Since obtaining it, he hadn't been able to do this.
It didn't work before, nor did it now. The scepter was totally unresponsive.
He tried to leave his imprint on the jewels, but they were like stubborn rocks, yielding nothing.
Helpless, Lin Moyu continued exploring the interior of the Catastrophic Scepter.
Finally, his soul power touched a special, independent space at the center of the five jewels.
Touching this space, inspiration blossomed he sensed he was finally on the right track.
Soul power turned into a spike, trying to penetrate, but found there was a hard shell outside this independent space, extremely sturdy and difficult to pierce.
Unwilling to give up, Lin Moyu made his soul power into a drill and began tunneling.
With the World Tree endlessly supplying soul power, he had the confidence for such persistence.
For ten full years, he never gave up, and at last a tiny opening appeared in the shell.
"Eternal peak soul, drilling at full strength for ten years, and this is all I get?"
"If it were another Eternal, a thousand years might not crack it at all."
Lin Moyu understood: his soul power was infinite, so he could always persevere.
Others would run out and need to recover, drastically reducing efficiency.
For someone at a lower realm, like a Great Dao Lord, even a billion years wouldn't achieve anything.
This meant: the bare minimum requirement for access was the Eternal realm.
Seeing some small progress gave Lin Moyu hope, and he continued drilling.
Another few hundred years passed, and finally, after more than 300 years' effort, he bored through the shell.
His soul power surged in with joy and beheld a sky.
The void was boundless; Lin Moyu sensed the presence of chaos qi.
This space was filled with chaos qi, yet it was different from typical chaos qi.
Here, the chaos qi had clearly been refined and was supremely pure.
Perhaps because he was the scepter's master, his soul took no harm here.
He even felt an unspeakable familiarity.
His soul power ventured further, exploring this endless void in all directions, not knowing which way might be right, so he searched everywhere.
He had plenty of patience willing to spend the time needed to map everything.
With more and more soul power entering, he split it by tens and hundreds sending hundreds of probes searching for clues, rapidly improving efficiency.
Yet another thousand years passed.
Finally, within the chaos filled independent space, Lin Moyu spotted a faint glimmer of light.
