Chapter 4680: Sea of Blood, Divine Phoenix
Lin Moyu knew Hun Tian Huang Long was getting desperate again. This time, the space shattering was different from last time in the Ancient Wasteland.
That time, it was naturally caused by the world's rules, a smooth and expected process.
But now, there was clear intent behind it. Within the broken space, a trace of an aura that didn't belong to the world's rules lingered.
No matter how well hidden he was, Lin Moyu noticed it.
Moreover, this break appeared in the central region of Chaos, not in the Ancient Wasteland. This was "Dao's" territory, and to do such a thing here was very likely to get noticed.
Lin Moyu was unsure whether "Dao" noticed this time or not, but even if it was hidden this round, what about next time or the next?
As long as he kept lurking, his foe would eventually slip up.
Over a hundred powerful divine phoenixes flew out of the broken space, the leaders being three divine phoenixes who had reached the peak of the Chaos realm truly elite.
"The Three Divine Phoenixes!"
Lin Moyu recognized them; they were currently the strongest among the divine phoenix race.
Then, a red light emerged from nowhere, enveloping Lin Moyu's position and revealing his trace for all to see.
While his concealment wasn't wholly broken, it was enough.
The unique aura of the "World Enemy" spread, and in an instant, all divine phoenixes' eyes lit up like seeing the tastiest delicacy.
The three chief phoenixes, retaining some rationality, did not immediately attack, but their gazes were filled with greed.
Lin Moyu whispered, "Don't tangle with them; sprint through."
Little Peng obeyed, casting a secret technique and accelerating drastically, instantly speeding past the divine phoenixes.
The divine phoenixes were not slow, faster than humans and most races but absolutely inferior to Little Peng.
By the time they realized what happened, Little Peng had already left them behind.
Lin Moyu boosted his formations, the Balance Gem shimmering more brightly, and he vanished from the void.
The Chaos Gem laughed, "That guy is probably furious!"
Lin Moyu responded, "Let him be mad. We're playing openly while he's the only one staying sneaky. If he wants to play, let's play together in the open what's hiding in the shadows worth?"
The Chaos Gem agreed, "Seems like the calamity is having an effect on them, or he wouldn't be so anxious."
Lin Moyu said, "He'll only get more anxious and that's to our advantage. The more he panics, the better. Let's keep forcing his hand."
"Alright!"
After hiding for countless years, why act so hastily now?
The calamity's impact shifted his thinking, shaping every move he made.
In his conversation with Emperor Azure Break, Lin Moyu gained deeper insight into people like "Dao," who failed at reaching Supreme.
After failing, such beings are stuck awkwardly stronger than Great Venerates, but far from true Supremes.
Neither here nor there, their Dao hearts scarred, no longer perfect, even worse than some Heavenly Venerates.
There had been worlds where, years after a breakthrough failure, one would go mad slaughtering eighty percent of the world's beings before blowing themselves up.
Other cases were less dramatic, but problems always lingered.
To Emperor Azure Break, such people were worthless.
He was too strong even some Supremes who achieved their power by making grand wishes were, in his words, trash.
Those in the Ancient Wasteland's chaos were considered quite decent at least not crazy (yet).
Lin Moyu continued flying north, shifting direction occasionally to shake off the pursuing divine phoenixes.
He'd sometimes weaken the Balance Gem effect and sometimes drop the formation's concealment, making himself the perfect bait and luring new hunters.
After half a year, his enemy struck again.
Out of nowhere, a formation appeared before Lin Moyu. Little Peng flew right through before he could react.
The formation broke as soon as he touched it, and reformed into a Dao that landed precisely on Little Peng.
Brilliant light erupted from Little Peng, illuminating the limitless void.
This was the Divine Light Dao, matched for its brightness.
Merged with the formation, when Little Peng shattered it, the Dao stuck to him.
His body now radiated a thousand times brighter than the harshest sun, with Lin Moyu at the glowing heart wherever he went, all was glaring light.
Such brightness was enough to attract everyone nearby no formation or Balance Gem could hide it.
Lin Moyu laughed, "Switched to a new tactic? Too bad it won't work!"
With a thought, he put Little Peng away into his Soul World and summoned Primal Qi to wash away the Dao.
With Little Peng gone, Lin Moyu brought out the Calamity crossing boat and soared onward.
The Calamity crossing boat wasn't as fast as Little Peng, but its durability was unmatched.
This was all Hun Tian Huang Long's doing still refusing direct confrontation, always trying to make Lin Moyu show himself, get contaminated with bloodshed, and build up a reward on his head.
Lin Moyu, however, insisted he would not kill.
Everywhere, living beings were arriving. Little Peng's outburst of light had already attracted countless powerhouses, but Lin Moyu left quickly in the Calamity crossing boat.
Somehow, a river of blood formed in the void, rapidly chasing after the Calamity crossing boat.
"What's that?" Lin Moyu asked.
The Chaos Gem was confused too, "Looks like some sort of secret art."
Lin Moyu probed it, "I can't sense his aura not his hand. Who, then?"
The Chaos Gem shook his head, equally baffled.
The river of blood was fast, catching up to the Calamity crossing boat, but couldn't break in. The repaired Calamity crossing boat was now flawless, dragging the blood river along without losing speed. Lin Moyu couldn't uncover the river's source.
On their journey, the river swelled as blood from dying beings joined it soon, it became a sea of blood.
The Calamity crossing boat was now a lone sail on the blood sea, sailing through its waves.
The blood sea engulfed it; Lin Moyu's concealment failed, and his formation broke too.
But he didn't mind he was interested in seeing what kind of secret art this was.
"It's coming!"
Lin Moyu had a hunch that after so much buildup, the secret art would soon show its true form.
With a clear cry, a bloody divine phoenix burst from the sea of blood and smashed into the Calamity crossing boat.
The Calamity crossing boat shuddered, slowed, but still broke through the phoenix and surged ahead.
Another bloody divine phoenix took shape and dove at the boat, then another, on and on.
But none had the power to stop or hurt the Calamity crossing boat.
Finally, massive waves rose in the blood sea, forming a huge bloody gate.
The gate opened, and behind it was the ancestral land of the divine phoenixes.
In an instant, countless attacks burst from behind the gate and struck the Calamity crossing boat, finally slowing it.
Simultaneously, the Three Divine Phoenixes and their kin emerged behind, forming a battle array to surround the Calamity crossing boat.
