Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4016: The Beast Emperor Self Destructs as Agreed

After Mo Hei escaped into the world mist and flew a great distance, making sure no one was following, he returned to the Soul Void. As soon as he entered, he told Lin Moyu, “Something seems to have happened.” Mo Hei recounted the events in the Origin Continent, including the battle and what he’d observed such as the two Five Elements Giants outside Yuedao City.

He described everything in detail. After listening, Lin Moyu asked quietly, “You said the two Dao Lords who blocked you weren’t from this era?”

Mo Hei nodded. “Their methods were subtle, but I could tell they used Buddhist clan secret arts. I hate those baldies the most. No way I’m mistaken. But how could there be Buddhist Dao Lords?”

The Buddhist clan naturally had Dao Lords, just not from this era. The previous era belonged to the Buddhist clan; besides outliers like the Three Lives Buddha Lord, there were quite a few Dao Lords. After that era was buried, some Dao Lords became agents of the world will, which was normal.

Lin Moyu said softly, “Looks like they really are watching. They only sent two to block you this time, but next time there’ll be more. Before, they only suspected, but after your death and resurrection, their suspicions are confirmed. They’ll definitely take action next, most likely targeting me as agents of the world will.”

Mo Hei asked, “So what do we do next?”

Lin Moyu replied, “No worries. They probably still don’t know what I’m really after. I plan to use the Beast Emperor to draw them out and then catch them all in one go.”

Mo Hei was startled. “You’re going to kill them?”

Lin Moyu shook his head. “Not yet. I just want to trap them, but I’m worried they might contact the world will, so it’s best to knock them unconscious.”

Mo Hei said, “They’re strong. With your power, killing them isn’t hard, but knocking them out won’t be easy.”

Lin Moyu smiled. “They’re just Dao Lords not a problem!” He already had a full plan. As long as he succeeded, he’d have enough time. He didn’t need much more; as long as they hesitated, that would be enough.

Lin Moyu helped Mo Hei nurture a world spirit and left undead servants to guard him, then went to find the Beast Emperor.

The Beast Emperor wasn’t far away. Soon, Lin Moyu arrived. Seeing the Beast Emperor still asleep, Lin Moyu set up a new formation, snapped his fingers, and woke him up.

Inside the formation, the Beast Emperor awoke and asked, “Lin Daoist, is everything ready?”

Lin Moyu nodded. “All set. The Third Ancestor and the others have already broken free. Now it’s your turn.”

The Beast Emperor said, “Now that I’m awake, those guys will probably come for me.”

Lin Moyu smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ve improved the formation here. Your soul and your avatar are temporarily cut off they won’t notice for a few days.” He then explained the plan and how to deal with those people.

Lin Moyu guessed those people were definitely watching the Beast Emperor and Yuedao City. Before, it was just suspicion, so they hadn’t acted against Yuedao City. But once the Beast Emperor died, their suspicions would be confirmed, and they’d act.

After discussing the plan, the Beast Emperor split his soul, refining the Heaven Covering Stone and Immortal Jade. He would detonate a third of his soul in three days, giving Lin Moyu two days to return to the Origin Continent.

Two days later, Lin Moyu returned from the Soul Void. In a secret room in Yuedao City, he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze pierced the thick walls and layers of formations, sweeping across the entire Origin Continent. As a Dao Lord, only he could do this.

He had made many preparations on the Origin Continent, treating it like a chessboard. Some moves were critical, others were just for flexibility. Many of the continent’s origin spirit veins had been refined into his “eyes.” Even without destiny’s blessing, he could reach any place on the continent with a single thought.

He had also used formations to cover the continent, with the Divine Continent Cauldron as the core. The cauldron had been in his soul world for years, and thanks to the World Tree, it was already his. The cauldron didn’t belong to the world will, and with its help, the world will would have a hard time regaining control of the continent.

Lin Moyu saw several figures hidden on the Outer Great Dao. These people could hide from anyone even current Dao Lords. The world will had given them special privileges. But they couldn’t hide from Lin Moyu, whose soul had reached the Dao Lord’s peak; he could see them clearly.

They were all Dao Lords, and none were from this era they bore traces of the Buddhist clan, survivors from the previous era. There were also two Dao Lords outside Yuedao City, hiding underground not Buddhists, but ancient insect clan Dao Lords. The insect clan also had Dao Lords who survived and became agents of the world will. After more than an era, these insect Dao Lords hadn’t become Great Dao Lords, but their power far surpassed ordinary Dao Lords.

Finally, Lin Moyu checked on the Beast Emperor’s hiding place it was very safe. However, the Beast Emperor’s avatar in the Origin Continent had been captured and couldn’t even die if he wanted. Fortunately, the Beast Emperor reacted quickly, using Mo Hei’s internal space to sever the connection with his avatar. Otherwise, those people could have used the avatar to affect the Beast Emperor.

Lin Moyu took a deep breath, took out a Heaven Covering Stone, split off a third of his soul, and refined it into another self. He did this extremely fast, finishing in moments. For him, splitting his soul was as easy as eating or drinking. The rest of his soul merged with the Immortal Jade for protection. Lin Moyu felt the Immortal Jade wasn’t as effective as his own rebirth, but its unique advantage was faking death. The combination of Immortal Jade and Heaven Covering Stone could fool the world and allow him to escape.

He then took a fine material and crafted a formation plate, spending half a day to set up a small but powerful formation.

Three days later, the Beast Emperor self destructed as agreed. The world mourned, and a heavy rain fell. With the Beast Emperor’s death, his avatar also vanished.

Lin Moyu looked at those hiding in the shadows. “Time to move.”
