Chapter 4375: Still a Matter of Strength
In just a few short days, Lin Moyu had refined this grand formation that had existed for countless years.
Outside the formation, the lightning vanished Old Ox withdrew his thunder, and Lin Moyu, struck by inspiration, injected a flame of World Burning Fire into the array, enveloping the whole formation within it.
He heard Old Ox's voice: "I'm leaving."
The scene shifted, and Lin Moyu found himself back in the chaotic void.
The colossal Chaotic Desolate Ox was gone, with no sign of spatial fluctuation no way to tell how he had left.
Before him was a small domain, hidden deep in the void inside a spatial crevice.
The grand formation rested within this domain, concealed by the World Burning Fire, making it even harder to detect.
Aside from a single leaf, Old Ox had left no further message.
Lin Moyu sent his soul into the leaf. The leaf turned to dust, vanishing as a torrent of information poured into his soul world.
The Chaotic Desolate Ox, like the Primordial Worm, came from the Ancient Wilds and possessed a strange power called Primordial Wild Weight.
The level of power from Primordial Wild Thunder matched that of "Dao." That's why the Catastrophic Supreme entrusted this formation to the Ox it could evade Dao's detection.
The Ox joined their arrangement, guarding the formation for untold years until Lin Moyu's arrival.
As Lin Moyu had guessed, the Ox was not truly freed only the duties of his role had ended.
This time, as he departed, he would go to the Ancient Wilds, likely to join up with Tianxuzi and others in preparation for the final battle.
That cup of tea, named Wildwater (荒水), was refined from the essence of Ancestral Water and many rare treasures of the Ancient Wilds.
From antiquity to now, only a single cup was made.
No one but the owner of the Chaos Ancestral Tree could drink it anyone else would die, body and soul.
In other words, Wildwater was prepared solely for the Chaos Ancestral Tree.
Its specific effect wasn't fully detailed in the leaf, which only explained that it was of great use to the Ancestral Tree.
This showed how deep the Catastrophic Supreme's planning ran even the Chaos Ancestral Tree was a part of the arrangement.
After all, they understood clearly their opponent was "Dao" the most difficult foe in all of chaos.
Reading this, Lin Moyu wondered, "Why did the Chaotic Desolate Ox join them? If he just fled to the Ancient Wilds, he'd be safe. And he doesn't seem like one who'd want to upset the heavens could there be more secrets?"
Aside from these insights, the leaf also detailed parts of the grand formation and domain:
This domain was formed by the Catastrophic Supreme using a domain seed; from its inception, the Chaos Desolate Ox infused it with Primordial Wild Thunder.
Though not large, the domain's tier was extremely high, thus able to bear such a grand formation.
Because of the Primordial Wild Thunder, it couldn't birth living beings it could only serve as a "formation plate."
The benefit was its high tier and the fact that Dao could not easily discover it.
Lin Moyu set up a new teleport formation inside the domain, so he could come back whenever he wished.
He then concealed the domain, returning truly to chaos.
Not far off, a Chaotic Lonely Peng floated, still in a dormant state but now free thanks to being released.
Lin Moyu called out Little Peng, "Your clansman is safe."
Overjoyed, Little Peng shouted, "Thank you, Father!"
Lin Moyu said, "I asked. It was your people who provoked him back then, so he wiped most out. Best not think about revenge."
Little Peng shook his head vigorously, "Never crossed my mind. He's terrifying we're no match. Ancestors warned us not to think about revenge."
Lin Moyu chuckled, "Your clan was bold, not just eying the Supreme's position but even daring to challenge the Chaotic Desolate Ox. Who knows what you were thinking."
Little Peng said, "I really don't know ancestors never told us, probably didn't want us to know. If not for this accident, those memories would have stayed buried forever."
Lin Moyu asked, "What will you do now?"
Little Peng flew to his clansman and exhaled a gray mist, enveloping and helping him recover.
After a while, he returned. "That's all I can do it should help speed up his recovery. But this dormant state may last ten thousand years or more. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he'll eventually recover."
Lin Moyu set another formation to hide the area in the void.
Chaos is vast no one might pass this region for ten thousand years, and even if they did, Lin Moyu's formation would ensure they found nothing.
He also had Little Peng leave a message in the array then the two of them departed.
With the Eastern Extreme Dragon Python leading, Lin Moyu headed back toward the Central Domain.
Little Peng asked, "Once we're back in the Central Domain, where next?"
Lin Moyu replied, "The Eastern Extreme trip went rather well once back, I'll head for the Northern Extreme."
Little Peng was puzzled, "Why the Northern Extreme?"
Lin Moyu replied, "The Western Extreme is too far. North or South would both work, but the Southern Extreme might be at war with the Central Domain. I don't want to get involved, so I'll go north first."
"If the war's over by the time I'm back, then I'll try the South. If not, I'll go West next or maybe even the Upper and Lower Domains."
"In any case, I need to visit all three remaining Extremes the order doesn't really matter, just whichever is the most convenient."
Lin Moyu was very easygoing about this, and so was the Catastrophic Supreme there was no required sequence for refining the formations.
All he needed to do was go and take control. The order was unimportant.
From his earlier glimpse at the conversation of the Supremes, Lin Moyu realized that the chaos wide domain wars had internal causes.
He'd also noticed that not every Supreme was on the Catastrophic Supreme's side.
The Supreme of the Eastern Extreme was just a bystander neither involved nor opposed.
The other three Extremes' Supremes? Friend or foe, it was impossible to say.
People change. Even if someone was a comrade in the past, countless years alter everything.
So Catastrophic Supreme left no explanations this was something to be judged personally.
Right now, Lin Moyu's only worry was lack of enough strength. If someone like the Chaotic Desolate Ox turned hostile, he'd be in mortal danger, with no hope even of escape.
But gaining power wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight.
"Looks like my preparations for the North will need to be even more thorough next time."
"Little Tree is now in deep sleep, its aura ever stronger already beyond mine. Maybe, once it wakes, it will be a big help."
"But personal strength is what matters most. Still… it's too hard and needs time, it can't be rushed."
The Eastern Extreme Dragon Python kept tearing open the void, gradually drawing nearer to the cross domain teleport array.
Suddenly, Lin Moyu's expression shifted and he snapped to attention. "Oh!"
