Chapter 4697: Seems a Bit Tempted
Heaven Shattering, Earth Exploding shattered the rule barrier, directly attacking the body of the world core.
The world core endured a violent explosion, and cracks began to appear on the seven layer pagoda.
"Not bad!"
It was the first time using the upgraded spell Heaven Shattering, Earth Exploding, evolved from corpse explosion, and its effect exceeded expectations.
The world core was damaged, the rules began to fluctuate, and as the explosion hit, dozens of undying soldiers broke through the rule barrier they weren't teleported away and made it right to the pagoda.
Lin Moyu's eyes lit up he had discovered a loophole in the rules.
Inside the world core, the rule lifeform had arranged multiple rules together, forming a sophisticated defense system that could avoid almost any danger.
These rules were delicately balanced; as long as the world core itself was struck, the balance was broken and flaws appeared.
Once a flaw appeared, recovering it became extremely difficult.
Lin Moyu remembered which point the undying soldiers had breached and sent more through this gap.
Those already inside began attacking the world core directly.
The undying soldiers, carrying death force, simultaneously corroded the core and invaded its interior, assaulting the hidden rule lifeform within.
The rule lifeform realized what was happening and started counterattacking, all offense and defense accomplished through rule manipulation.
The undying soldiers were then silently transported far away and fatally struck in the blink of an eye during transit.
The rule lifeform was swift the army around the pagoda was rapidly diminished.
Lin Moyu summoned another corpse.
"Heaven Shattering, Earth Exploding!"
The corpse turned to nothingness, and the core detonated again the cracks multiplying. A few more times and the entire core might shatter.
Despite its strength and rule bearing capacity, the core's body itself was fragile and easily damaged.
In his hand, fire flickered World Burning Fire surged through the opening, finally landing on the world core, and began refining it.
The rule lifeform was terrified, shrieking incessantly its piercing cries rattled the soul.
World Burning Fire didn't care burning mercilessly.
The rule lifeform tried to move the fire away by rule powers, but failed the fire firmly rooted in the core, not easily removed.
The world core hummed, World Burning Fire invaded every crevice, finally touching the hidden rule lifeform.
Enveloped by fire, it had nowhere to flee, nowhere to hide refinement was its only fate.
Lin Moyu exhaled lightly, "Truly not easy to deal with."
Defeating a rule lifeform isn't just brute force unless that brute force could ignore rules entirely, which he had not reached.
The fate of the world core was sealed; all that remained was time. Lin Moyu stopped watching, pondering what he had just seen and learned.
It was his first time using Heaven Shattering, Earth Exploding. Superficially, both it and corpse explosion seemed similar in form and effect.
But Lin Moyu saw more than surface he discerned the inner principle:
Both spells were of the same lineage. Heaven Shattering, Earth Exploding is the ascended version of corpse explosion; it could detonate not just corpses, but all things.
Corpse explosion merely produced death, but the upgraded spell contained new life amid destruction.
Just now, detonating the corpse, Lin Moyu sensed a wisp of vitality the feeling that, as he destroyed the corpse, he could nurture a new life from that lingering vitality.
This new life would be intimately connected to the original body, almost a reincarnation.
This wouldn't be easy; the success rate was low but it was possible.
Mainly, the spark in a single corpse was so weak, barely perceptible.
He recalled the information from mastering Heaven Shattering, Earth Exploding: detonating a whole world, with its boundless vitality, maybe the world could resurrect, a second creation.
Lin Moyu mused, "They say some divine beasts can be reborn from fire."
The Primal Gem said, "What you're describing should be the Phoenix. Many worlds have bred beings called phoenixes, each with rebirth in fire, but the conditions are harsh they can't die completely. If totally dead, they cannot be reborn."
Lin Moyu continued, "Divine beasts are produced by worlds; so maybe worlds themselves could possess the same ability."
The Primal Gem was shocked, "Master, you're imagining something wild again."
Lin Moyu kept pondering, "The evolution of worlds begins with a great explosion if I detonate a ruined world, forcing it to re evolve..."
...
"The birth of a world produces huge quantities of primordial energy. If I could evolve a new world in my Linguistic God World and devour it at birth, I'd gain massive primordial energy for myself."
The Primal Gem was visibly startled by Lin Moyu's idea this was beyond bold, bordering on monstrous.
To evolve a new world and then fuse it into his own, seizing all its birth essence for himself.
If the plan worked, it could hugely benefit his world; Lin Moyu believed it could succeed.
He ordered the World Burning Fire to leave a remnant of the world core for himself, not to burn everything.
The fire slowed, refining at a gentler pace.
A Seven Wheel world was enough for the fire to gorge itself; the rule lifeform hidden in the core did not escape it perished inside, its power returning to the core as rule energy.
Refining continued the world rumbled, distant tsunamis rose.
This world of pure sea was collapsing in the wake of World Burning Fire.
The collapse quickly reached Lord Xunzhi, whose half soul and the sea wax vanished along with the world.
Suddenly, in Lord Xunzhi's world, Lord Xunzhi groaned weakening sharply.
Half his soul fell, bringing him significant harm.
But Lord Xunzhi wasn't sad; he smiled joyfully: "Friend Lin has done it at last, old me is free!"
The nearby Breaker of the Sky Emperor asked, "So will you leave now?"
Lord Xunzhi nodded, "Better to die than linger like this but before I go, I'll hand my world to Lin, as a token of gratitude."
The Emperor probed, "Aren't you curious about what's beyond the Forbidden Zone of Life?"
Lord Xunzhi shook his head, "Curious or not, it's not my concern."
The Emperor coughed, "I mean, don't die yet come stay in my crystal for now. Who knows, if Lin crosses the zone someday, we can see what's on the other side together."
Lord Xunzhi hesitated, a little interested...
