Chapter 4277: You're in Trouble
Within the golden light was an utterly pure form of filth power so pure that even a trace of it was enough to poison and kill a Great Dao Lord.
Yet this purity gave it a resplendent, awe inspiring feel rather than seeming sinister.
Filth taken to the extreme… becomes its own Dao.
Dragons roared within the golden radiance as the Candle Dragon emerged from the void. He kept his eyes half closed, and Lin Moyu felt his soul tremble as the sky and earth sank into pitch darkness.
The Candle Dragon's divine art eyes shut, world dark. Now that he had reached the Chaos Realm, this technique was even stronger.
Lin Moyu wasn't the target, so the effect on him was fleeting. But the chaotic lifeform facing them was far more affected.
It instantly lost all sense of direction, twisting in place, unsure where to go.
The countless tentacles on its tail coiled inward, wrapping around itself.
Chaos qi billowed from it, condensing into a huge sphere wreathed in chaotic energy.
The Candle Dragon roared once more; within the golden radiance appeared a spectral form, jaws gaping wide to bite viciously at the chaotic lifeform.
Bang!
The mighty creature was snapped apart, flesh and blood spraying.
A chaotic lifeform couldn't be killed so easily being Chaos Realm, its countless scraps immediately began evolving into myriad small entities, fleeing in all directions.
Lin Moyu's thought stirred, summoning the Reverse Dao Sprite, activating inverse and upright Dao energies.
The scattering fragments froze where they were.
The Reverse Dao Sprite's strength was limited; it couldn't drag them back, but halting them in place was enough.
The Candle Dragon's voice rang out: "It's not running watch me refine it!"
"Filthy Water Soul Refining!"
In the void, countless Candle Dragon phantoms appeared, each vomiting torrents of filthy water until the void became an ocean.
That vile sea swallowed everything; the chaotic lifeform writhed and screamed within, until all went silent.
An opponent harder to handle than the Fifth Generation Heavenly Void Palace Master had been, yet in front of the Candle Dragon, it had no chance.
Over the years away, the Candle Dragon hadn't just settled into the Chaos Realm he had reached Minor Completion.
He had fully chaotified and forged both chaos battle armor and chaos battle arms.
Moments later, the sea of filth vanished, leaving only the Candle Dragon in the void.
Lin Moyu asked, "Why are you back?"
The Candle Dragon replied, "It's been ten thousand years. I've reached minor accomplishment in the Chaos Realm, got the urge to check on you, and what do you know stumbled into this big fight."
"Really?" Lin Moyu's tone clearly doubted him. In this world, there were no coincidences like that.
The Candle Dragon snorted. "Who am I that I should lie to you? Though even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Forget that what matters is, I'm here to warn you about something."
His tone turned grave. Lin Moyu asked, "What?"
The Candle Dragon looked at the Sky Dome War Array. "This formation it's yours, isn't it?"
Lin Moyu gave a small nod. "Yeah. What about it?"
"You want to set up a formation, fine. But why'd you make it a giant glowing ball?"
When activated, the Sky Dome Array drew in domain force, shining brightly turning the entire domain into a literal glowing orb.
Lin Moyu knew that, but had never thought about whether it was a good idea.
He asked, "What's wrong with that?"
"It's a big problem," the Candle Dragon said. "After this, trouble's going to keep coming."
"Not really your fault you don't know the situation inside chaos. If you did, you'd never have done this."
Lin Moyu looked at him. "Feel like you've gotten chatty since transcending. Spit it out."
"Think of the chaos as an immense mist," the Candle Dragon said. "Within are chaotic lifeforms, cultivators, whole domains. Some domains have masters, most do not. And there are plenty of great completion Chaos Realm entities actively searching for ownerless domains."
Lin Moyu well understood why. To reach full completion as a Chaos Realm expert, you had to have a domain of your own.
Some with grand ambitions didn't settle for just that; they aimed for the title of Heaven Earth Supreme. Even if they already had a domain, they'd swallow a second or third to grow stronger for that contest.
"Those domains are normally hidden in the chaos," the Candle Dragon continued, "walled by domain barriers and protected by soul devouring beings, their aura cut off hard to find. Even if found, they shift position over time, so it's not a big problem."
"But you… by turning yours into a light ball, you've basically announced to everyone: here's a domain."
Lin Moyu understood: he had exposed his domain's location.
Now, Chaos Realm experts likely great completion ones might come to seize it.
As he stood now, he couldn't block a great completion Chaos Realm.
"You said domains move from time to time," Lin Moyu asked. "How? And how long before the next shift?"
The Candle Dragon shook his head. "Don't know. The timing's irregular. Chaos rules are far more complex than domain rules I can't say. As for how, it's simple: it disappears from here and reappears somewhere else in the chaos. Nobody knows exactly where."
Lin Moyu narrowed his eyes, studying the Candle Dragon silently asking, "No one knows?"
Inside, he already had an answer: of course someone knew. If no one did, how had the green robed elder pinned down the Five Domain World's location? The Candle Dragon had spent ten thousand years in the chaos, reached minor completion how could he not know so much?
It was obvious: his return now wasn't chance someone sent him.
And it didn't need saying who it had to be the green robed elder.
Lin Moyu let it pass unspoken and instead asked, "So, what do you suggest I do?"
"The simplest way," said the Candle Dragon, "is to hurry up and become domain lord then take the domain and leave."
Lin Moyu nodded along. "Makes sense. Can't you store a domain in your body like a rules world?"
"No," the Candle Dragon replied. "A domain isn't like a rules world. It's a root in the chaos it has to remain in that foundation to exist. When a domain lord leaves with their domain, it vanishes from sight but it's still in the chaos. The disappearance is only temporary."
The more the Candle Dragon said, the surer Lin Moyu was that he was the green robed elder's messenger.
The information came from that old man, passed to him to give to Lin Moyu.
Domains truly differed from rules worlds. Just like the Vast World seemed to be inside him, it was in fact anchored somewhere in the chaos. Even he didn't know exactly where.
He'd long intended, once he reached the Chaos Realm, to locate the Vast World's true position.
Now it seemed it wasn't just the Vast World he would have to find the Lingmiao Domain too, and bring the Five Domain World along.
"But becoming a domain lord won't be easy," Lin Moyu said. "If someone comes knocking before I succeed, how do I deal with it?"
