Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 4414: The Toy Is Gone

Lin Moyu had seen myriapods before creatures of ancient desolation but this Old Centipede came from chaos, so how could his true form be a myriapod?

Old Centipede, in his original body, fled after that sword; Wine Sovereign’s attack left him badly wounded.

Some severed limbs and fragments of his carapace were left behind in the empty ancient desolation, and from afar Lin Moyu saw that he’d nearly been sliced in half.

As for his three henchmen, none survived they had all become corpses.

They weren’t human; upon death their true forms were exposed: three dog like beasts.

The strength of Wine Sovereign was now undeniable he really had been playing with them before, and even now hadn’t used his full power.

Wine Sovereign had said he was walking the quasi Supreme path and that his greatest strength was not the sword. This time, he used his sword, not his most powerful Dao.

Drinking deeply, Wine Sovereign said, “So satisfying! I haven’t felt this good in a long time.”

Lin Moyu flew out from the array to stand beside him, grinning, “Senior, how much strength did you use in that sword?”

Wine Sovereign replied, “Maybe eighty or ninety percent enough for Centipede.”

He said it casually, but for him only; Old Centipede was no weakling, and his henchmen being slain, each was far stronger than the Old East Dragon Python ancestor.

Even among Full Completion experts, the strength difference was massive.

Lin Moyu was puzzled: “Why was Old Centipede’s true body a myriapod?”

Wine Sovereign laughed, “Understandable confusion! Old Centipede’s real name is Lord Myriad Legs I just gave him the nickname.

He was originally a myriapod beast. He once accidentally wandered into an ancient desolation path and came to chaos, where he consumed a strange fruit, shed his old nature, and merged with chaos, gaining the power to cultivate.

He later took human form and became Lord Myriad Legs, but his foundations were poor and he couldn’t progress farther.

As for our grudge, it started over some treasures, but that’s too old to bother mentioning.

His three subordinates are from the Celestial Dog Clan of chaos, not a large group. He once fought them and slaughtered most of the clan.

Later, he used special means to control the Celestial Dog Clan those three were the dogs he trained.”

“Celestial Dogs as running dogs amusing,” said Lin Moyu, smiling. “It seems he came especially to kill you this time.”

Wine Sovereign chuckled, “It’s not the first time. Our feud is ancient. But after this, I doubt he’ll bother me again no more toys to play with!”

This sword had shown Lord Myriad Legs he was welcome to try again at his own peril.

The fight had reminded Lord Myriad Legs just how great the gap really was.

Lin Moyu heard the sigh in Wine Sovereign’s voice and caught the deeper meaning.

It turned out that, to Wine Sovereign, Lord Myriad Legs was just a toy a pastime for when boredom struck.

These top level beings had some rather bizarre hobbies, indeed.

Lin Moyu did not comment. “So you’re about to attempt your quasi Supreme breakthrough, Senior?”

Wine Sovereign replied, “The time is about right. But after all this, you may have some trouble, little friend.”

“By that, do you mean that Fellow Daoist Ear East?”

Wine Sovereign roared with laughter. “Truly clever! You are a delight to talk to. Ear East is a formation master of some renown in chaos.

He’s a decent person, just a bit petty. You broke his array, so he won’t let it go.”

Lin Moyu asked, “But chaos is vast even if Lord Myriad Legs tells him, how could he ever find me?”

Wine Sovereign shook his head, “He’s got his methods. Others who broke his arrays in the past were always found, eventually.

But don’t worry, he’s not vicious he just likes to challenge others in formation skills, not to kill.”

Lin Moyu thought, “So Ear East really is obsessed with formations.”

Wine Sovereign nodded, “Absolutely. He’s probably trying to use array mastery to break his shackles and become a quasi Supreme. Who knows? It’s not a big deal just a small hassle.”

He believed Lin Moyu was backed by a Supreme, so if anything serious happened, the Supreme would intervene.

“Well, I should be off. Take care, little friend!” Wine Sovereign drank and turned away, leaving with easy confidence.

Lin Moyu bowed, “Until next time by then, may you have achieved the Dao!”

Wine Sovereign raised his gourd one more time and vanished into the darkness, his laughter echoing through the void.

Lin Moyu murmured, “Time for me to go, too.”

He sent out a chaos rune, causing the grand array to vanish, leaving only a faint crack in the void.

Then, as light flowed at his fingertip, tiny threads of energy drifted out. These threads contained a faint aura not his own.

“So this is how Ear East tracks people,” he thought.

They came from the earlier formation he cracked; Ear East had deliberately left them behind so subtly that even Full Completion experts would likely miss them.

This let Ear East track down whoever ruined his arrays.

As Wine Sovereign said, Ear East meant no harm just wanted to compete in array mastery.

But Ear East’s tricks didn’t escape Lin Moyu’s exceptionally sharp soul; with a tiny search he found the markers and erased them.

With the evidence gone, Lin Moyu took out the Calamity Crossing Boat and flew away into the darkness.

After Lin Moyu’s departure, countless tree roots burst from the void, wiping away time itself.

Even anyone trying to peer back into the past through time reversal would find nothing.

The space became silent again; everything from before was erased.

A few days later, an array disk flew in, unfolded a spatial passage, and a middle aged man stepped out.

He stared around in confusion, “It was clearly here why did it cut off so abruptly?

Did someone figure out my trick? Impossible. Even those ancient monsters can’t spot my handwork.

Who broke my array?”

He searched the area, then activated another disk, creating a formation that radiated strong temporal energy but got no results, for Little Tree had wiped away the timeline.

Ear East muttered, “So clean even time’s gone. But you think that can fool me?”

He quickly deployed more array disks, forming a giant formation that scanned billions of miles.

This time, the temporal scrying wasn’t of this spot, but of somewhere distant.

Phantasms appeared in the formation shadows of what had occurred. Wine Sovereign and Lin Moyu were both among them.

Ear East chuckled, “The ancient desolation void always leaves a projection. Even if you erase things here, echoes show up elsewhere. Not very clean.”

“Hm? What’s this?”

Ear East then spotted the distant crack…
