The jade disc bore the Hongmeng origin aura and formally evolved into a Hongmeng supreme treasure. Runes on the jade disc flickered, blooming into countless radiances. The Hongmeng Gemstone took form beside Lin Moyu, clicking its tongue in amazement.
"Master, this Hongmeng supreme treasure of yours seems rather unusual."
Lin Moyu said, "Hongmeng supreme treasures can be for offense, for defense, or both. But mine has ten thousand transformations, capable of anything. That is formation Dao. Taking arrays as Dao, nothing is impossible. Using arrays to simulate everything, nothing is unusable."
The Hongmeng Gemstone said, "Back then, Master said that to go to the Heaven-and-Earth Wall, you must find the key. Are you going to use formation Dao to simulate the key?"
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Not simulating the key. Formation Dao is the key."
"Ah?" The Hongmeng Gemstone clearly froze for a moment, not understanding why Lin Moyu was so certain.
Lin Moyu said, "Do you remember the rune that the box turned into?"
The Hongmeng Gemstone nodded hazily. "Was that not a teleportation rune? Master said that was the endpoint of formation Dao. Master also stared at it and only then comprehended the final step."
Lin Moyu said, "The Hongmeng Spirit Tree seed, the Hongmeng Divine Jade, and that box are the three things that that Supreme Master gave to people like us. And the secret of the next step is also hidden in these three things. The seed can become the Hongmeng Spirit Tree and accomplish a Hongmeng Heaven-and-Earth. The Hongmeng origin aura at the moment the Hongmeng Heaven-and-Earth is accomplished can be refined into a Hongmeng supreme treasure. As for that box, it looks like it has no use at all, just a teleportation rune that lets someone come back, but in truth, that box is the key among the three things. Whether it is the Hongmeng Heaven-and-Earth or the Hongmeng supreme treasure, they are all serving this third thing. Only by comprehending the endpoint of formation Dao can you step into the next stage. Other than that, nothing is useful."
The Hongmeng Gemstone pondered Lin Moyu's words. "What Master says seems to make sense, but why do I feel like this is all Master guessing?"
Lin Moyu laughed. "Not guessing, but inference. Since I began cultivating, many things have been inferred. The final results also proved my inferences were right. This time, my inference will not be wrong either. I have confidence."
Lin Moyu knew his soul was extremely keen. What he was best at was analyzing the whole process from tiny details, extrapolating the future from the past. This was not some Destiny Dao, yet sometimes it was even more accurate than Destiny Dao. Destiny Dao always relies on the Heaven-and-Earth great Dao. Once you lose the Heaven-and-Earth great Dao, the effects of Destiny Dao also dissipate, for example, in the Divine Servant Hall, for example, in the step after a Hongmeng true supreme powerhouse. There, Destiny Dao is useless. Only inference works. This belongs to oneself, using one's own inference to deduce. It can be used anywhere. Truly not relying on external things, relying only on oneself.
The Hongmeng Gemstone said, "Then is Master going?"
Lin Moyu said softly, "Soon. After this heaven-and-earth stabilizes, I will go take a look. If it succeeds, then it will endure forever. If it fails, then..."
The Hongmeng Gemstone said, "If it fails, it is nothing. This Hongmeng Heaven-and-Earth can still exist for at least a hundred billion years. Master can also live for a hundred billion years."
Lin Moyu smiled. "If it fails, then we try again later. Who said this chance only comes once?"
The Hongmeng Gemstone made an "ah" sound. "Right. The chance is not only once."
Lin Moyu said calmly, "Only, I will not lose."
The jade disc took shape within the Hongmeng origin aura, crystal-clear, exquisitely beautiful. Dragon-and-phoenix patterns flowed across it, and faintly, the sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries could be heard. The dragon and phoenix were formed from runes and moved with Lin Moyu's will.
Lin Moyu felt the aura of the jade disc. "This disc can be used to set arrays. With a single thought, an array is formed. Any array laid with it will be the strongest array. Let it be named the Hongmeng Jade Array Disc."
With one word spoken, the jade disc was complete. On the back of the jade disc appeared five large characters: Hongmeng Jade Array Disc.
The Hongmeng Gemstone immediately flattered him. "Congratulations, Master, for refining a Hongmeng supreme treasure!"
Lin Moyu smiled, then left.
The Hongmeng Gemstone said strangely, "Master is not going inside to look?"
By "inside" it meant the Heaven-and-Earth core, the palace beside the pagoda. The palace was still only a small house for now.
Lin Moyu shook his head. "Nothing worth going to. Where one's family is, that is home. This is not my home."
ooo
In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed. Yushen Heaven-and-Earth finally stabilized. The pagoda at the Heaven-and-Earth core had grown from ten stories to twelve. Every few decades, Yushen Heaven-and-Earth would grow a little stronger. Several thousand heaven-and-earth worlds were evolving, providing Yushen Heaven-and-Earth with massive Heaven-and-Earth power. Lin Moyu's strength also rose with the tide.
But for Lin Moyu, this level of strength increase had little to do with the road ahead. At his current level, his realm had reached its end. Being a bit stronger or weaker made little difference. If he could not reach the next step, it was already hard to undergo a qualitative change.
On an ordinary day, Lin Moyu came to a corner of Yushen Heaven-and-Earth. This place had once been the connection point between the Heaven-and-Earth Wall and Yushen Heaven-and-Earth. After passing the first life-and-death Great Calamity, Lin Moyu sealed this region. No one could approach.
It looked like there was nothing here. But when Lin Moyu arrived, a great gate appeared with a roar.
Lin Moyu pushed the door and entered. To others, this gate would be unbreakable, but to Lin Moyu, it opened easily. This gate was originally the Gate of the True Supreme Powerhouses. Every heaven-and-earth had a gate connected to the Heaven-and-Earth Wall. True supreme powerhouses could open this gate and enter the region that belonged to the Heaven-and-Earth Wall.
Every era, there would be many true supreme powerhouses here, trading what they had, exchanging insights, searching for Heaven-and-Earth wreckage, collecting resources, and improving strength. Besides true supreme powerhouses, there would also be many exploration teams coming and going, traveling through one spatial passage after another to various heaven-and-earth worlds. In that time, this place would be very lively, full of vitality, until the Great Annihilation arrived, the heaven-and-earth shattered, and the connections to all sides were severed. Then this place would become silent.
Now it was empty.
Lin Moyu looked at the Heaven-and-Earth Wall not far away. Within the Heaven-and-Earth Wall floated countless Heaven-and-Earth source materials, beyond number. They seemed not far, yet were separated by a barrier that made them impossible to take. This barrier looked like only one layer, but inside it was not so simple.
Lin Moyu's gaze swept over the Heaven-and-Earth Wall. Just like when he came before, he saw nothing special.
The Hongmeng Gemstone asked, "Master, what do we do next?"
Lin Moyu said, "Very simple. Pass through the barrier and enter the Heaven-and-Earth Wall. The next step for a Hongmeng true supreme powerhouse is extremely simple: enter the Heaven-and-Earth Wall. As for how to get in, think of your own way."
Countless true supreme powerhouses had used all sorts of methods and failed. But to Lin Moyu, those methods were all the same: brute force. Trying to open the Heaven-and-Earth Wall by brute force was impossible. No matter what level of true supreme powerhouse, even the most peak Hongmeng true supreme powerhouse, even with the strongest Hongmeng supreme treasure, it would not work.
Here, no one could be stronger than the Supreme Master spoken of by the Divine Servant Hall spirit. The Heaven-and-Earth Wall should be his work. If it is not the same tier of thing, how could brute force break it?
Lin Moyu touched the invisible barrier of the Heaven-and-Earth Wall and, without another word, swung the Calamity Scepter and smashed down with full force. Brute force did not work, but playing around once was not forbidden.
Boom!
The Heaven-and-Earth Wall trembled, and the barrier immediately revealed itself. The barrier of the Heaven-and-Earth Wall looked plain, no different from a Heaven-and-Earth barrier, yet it was unknown how many times sturdier. The Calamity Scepter, if it struck the barrier of a Hongmeng Heaven-and-Earth, could smash out a huge hole, but now the barrier of the Heaven-and-Earth Wall did not move at all. Instead, an enormous force rebounded.
The Hongmeng Gemstone screamed and flew away, completely uncontrollable. Even the entire Calamity Scepter shone with light, and no matter how it struggled, it could not control it. If Lin Moyu had not anticipated this and let go quickly, he would have been dragged in as well.
Looking at the revealed barrier, Lin Moyu recalled he had smashed it before. Back then he was weaker, so the rebound force was not as strong. He had thought that if his power became strong enough, he could smash it. Only now did he understand: as long as he had not stepped into that next stage, no matter how strong his power was, he could not break it. Yet if he could not enter the Heaven-and-Earth Wall, he could not step into that next stage. It was a dead loop.
So brute force definitely would not do.
After a while, the Calamity Scepter flew back.
The Hongmeng Gemstone shouted, "This damned thing is too hard!"
Lin Moyu smiled. "Hard is normal."
The Hongmeng Gemstone said, "But I have a feeling I can smash it."
"Oh?" Lin Moyu was surprised and, with a brief thought, came up with a possibility. The Hongmeng Gemstone had part of its memories sealed, along with part of its power. If the seal were lifted, the Hongmeng Gemstone might be able to exert full strength. Then, if the Calamity Scepter smashed again, perhaps it really could smash it open.
It was not that brute force could never work, but that brute force at this level could not. If one could enter the next step and reach a level comparable to that Supreme Master, brute force naturally would work as well. Like wood can never smash steel, but if one day the wood becomes steel, using steel to smash steel, at least both sides can be damaged.
By this inference, it might even be that the Hongmeng Gemstone and the Calamity Scepter were of the same tier as that Supreme Master. This inference seemed reasonable. The real answer would have to wait for the future. At least right now, it could not be smashed open.
The Hongmeng Gemstone rubbed its head. "That hit just now felt like it hurt. Master, what do we do now?"
Lin Moyu smiled. "If we cannot smash it, then we open a door."
With a light tap of his finger, the Hongmeng Jade Array Disc flew out and gently贴 against the barrier. The Hongmeng Jade Array Disc bloomed with faint light, and the runes on it flickered, evolving arrays with Lin Moyu's thoughts. One array after another formed and perished. Each seemed similar, but on closer look, each was slightly different. In an instant, arrays had formed and perished hundreds of times.
The Hongmeng Gemstone did not understand. "Master, what are you doing?"
Lin Moyu said, "Finding the key to open the door."
In his inference, to enter the Heaven-and-Earth Wall, one had to find the right key. Arrays were the key. There were countless arrays, but only one key. He had to find the right one.
As arrays formed and perished, Lin Moyu sensed changes in the Heaven-and-Earth Wall. The barrier of the Heaven-and-Earth Wall was not fixed. It was constantly changing itself in an extremely hidden way. This change was like an unordered stream, flowing everywhere. No one knew where it would flow in the next moment, and it might even reverse at any time.
There was no shortcut for this. One could only rely on a sufficiently powerful formation Dao foundation, compare one by one, and search until it was found.
Lin Moyu was very patient. His Dao heart had been tempered in all kinds of ways, long since unbreakable. If it did not work in a day, then a hundred days. If not in a hundred days, then a hundred years. A thousand years. He was not in a hurry. He would definitely find it.
The Hongmeng Gemstone naturally did not urge Lin Moyu. It sat on Lin Moyu's shoulder and watched arrays form and perish. Days passed. In the blink of an eye, Lin Moyu had tried here for ten years. Every breath, hundreds of arrays formed and perished. Over ten years, no one knew how many arrays had been tried. The barrier seemed to have no reaction at all.
The Hongmeng Gemstone asked doubtfully, "Master, does this method really work?"
Lin Moyu smiled. "Have you not noticed that for these ten years, this barrier has never hidden again?"
The Hongmeng Gemstone's eyes lit up. "Right. How did I not think of that? The barrier of the Heaven-and-Earth Wall only shows itself briefly when struck by a huge impact, then hides again after not long. But now it has been revealed for ten full years. Ten years without hiding means that in these ten years, it has been constantly affected from outside. Only Lin Moyu is here, so the influence can only come from Master's arrays."
Yet the arrays were not attacking the barrier. If they attacked, there would be rebound. So the arrays were affecting the barrier in some other way, and the effect was not small.
Lin Moyu's arrays were like an unsuitable key inserted into a lock. The key was constantly changing its shape to fit the lock, changing again and again, trying again and again to open it. That was why the barrier would not hide.
The Hongmeng Gemstone was not stupid. It knew Lin Moyu was right. Its master had found the correct method.
0 asking for flowers
Lin Moyu kept trying. After a full fifty years, the barrier suddenly showed a trace of abnormal reaction. The forming-and-perishing of arrays within the jade array disc suddenly stopped.
Lin Moyu's eyes burst with sharp light. "Found it."
With a tap of his finger, the Hongmeng Jade Array Disc bloomed again with splendor. The light illuminated a wide region, and an array formed in response. This array no longer floated on the surface, but seeped into the barrier. The barrier also bloomed with rosy radiance. Immediately after, a doorway naturally appeared.
Lin Moyu put away the Hongmeng Jade Array Disc. "That's enough."
The Hongmeng Gemstone cried out. "Master, it really worked!"
Lin Moyu smiled. "Success was inevitable. Only a matter of time. Let's go. Let's see what it is like inside."
Lin Moyu became the first Hongmeng true supreme powerhouse in countless years to enter the Heaven-and-Earth Wall. After he entered, the Heaven-and-Earth Wall returned to normal. The doorway vanished. The barrier hid. Lin Moyu was gone.
After entering the doorway, Lin Moyu realized he had lost connection with the Hongmeng Heaven-and-Earth. Not only the Hongmeng Heaven-and-Earth, even the Technique Domain fell silent. All techniques were sealed and could not be used. Chess of All Living Beings, the Zijin Thunder Pagoda, the Hongmeng Jade Array Disc were all suppressed, losing their aura. The Calamity Scepter in his hand remained, but the Hongmeng Gemstone had no movement.
This place was filled with an unimaginably powerful force that could not be sensed, suppressing everything. This suppression was even stronger than in the Divine Servant Hall. There, he could at least feel something and roughly understand what was happening. And back then he felt his newbirth talent could still be used. But here he could not sense anything at all. Even the newbirth talent was suppressed.
This place was completely isolated from the world. Other than his flesh body and soul, nothing else could be used.
No, there was still one thing.
"My formation Dao is not suppressed."
In Lin Moyu's palm, a rune shone. Formation Dao still worked here. With formation Dao usable, his heart steadied slightly. He still had the strength to fight.
Under his feet was a path of purple aura stretching into the distance. All around was void. In the void floated countless Heaven-and-Earth source materials, so many it was beyond imagination. Back then, Yushen Heaven-and-Earth had already taken all the Heaven-and-Earth source materials that erupted out, but compared to here, it was not even one in a hundred million million.
He walked along the purple aura, not knowing how long or how far. At last, something else appeared in his vision: broken stones and palaces, floating in the void in a strange layout. The broken stones were chaotic and endless. Many ruined palaces drifted among them, as if there had once been an incomparably glorious palace complex here, now shattered, leaving only broken stones and ruined halls.
At first glance, it seemed so. But if one's formation Dao cultivation was deep and one looked carefully, one could see the clue: these broken stones and ruined halls formed a grand array. This grand array concealed its aura and emitted an ancient presence. It had existed for countless years. From the outside, one could not see its true nature. One had to enter the array to glimpse the truth.
The grand array lay across the path forward. Here there was no choice. To continue, he had to enter.
He stood on the purple aura and looked from afar at this chaotic broken-stone ruined-hall array. This grand array was not natural. It was made deliberately. The broken stones and ruined halls were turned into runes to form an array. The hand behind it was extremely brilliant.
Lin Moyu could see that only someone standing at the endpoint of formation Dao could lay such an array. These broken stones linked together, becoming runes that fused real-and-empty with yin-yang. The runes nested into each other, making the array extremely complex.
In his field of view, there were sixty-three runes in total. If he was not mistaken, this grand array should consist of ninety-nine runes, one rune per layer, ninety-nine layers in all. A single rune gathered the culmination of all runes. One rune could form one array.
From what he could see, Lin Moyu identified sixty-three runes. Deeper within were broken stones and ruined halls his eyes could not see. He inferred it should be ninety-nine runes: one rune becomes one array, arrays nested and interlocked, ninety-nine layers in total.
That meant if he wanted to cross this broken-stone ruined-hall region, he had to break ninety-nine grand arrays.
Here, techniques and treasures were all sealed and suppressed. The only thing he could use was formation Dao. Presumably, this was also that Supreme Master's intention: use arrays to break arrays.
Lin Moyu watched for a moment, then flew into the array.
The silent broken stones and ruined halls rumbled into motion. They assembled into an illusory rune. The array activated. Space became its own world.
Lin Moyu's vision shifted. A magnificent Divine Hall appeared. Its shape was somewhat like the Divine Servant Hall, but far more luxurious and exquisite. Compared to it, the Divine Servant Hall was like a firefly.
Lin Moyu had a feeling: the Divine Servant Hall was only servants' quarters, while this great hall was the master's residence.
He took one step forward. The scene changed again. Behind the hall, a Divine Road appeared in the void. The Divine Road stretched upward, piercing clouds and void. At its end, faintly, there seemed to be another hall. One hall linked to another.
Lin Moyu understood. The grand array had ninety-nine layers. There were also ninety-nine halls like this. One hall, one Divine Road. He needed to traverse them one by one, until the end.
Formation Dao was strange and unpredictable, but once one understood its root, then one method illuminates a hundred. To Lin Moyu, these ninety-nine halls and their Divine Roads were only troublesome. They could not stop him.
If earlier he had not reached the endpoint of formation Dao, he could not even pass the first hall. But now, it would not be a problem to pass all ninety-nine.
He headed for the first hall. When he was still ten thousand meters away, a beam of rosy radiance surged from the hall. The radiance became an arrow and shot toward him. Lin Moyu's soul warned him. He instantly retreated a hundred thousand meters. The rosy radiance arrow exploded where he had stood. The void shook. Terrifying power swept the void.
A hundred thousand meters was not enough. Lin Moyu retreated again, farther.
"You have entered the array. There is nowhere to escape."
A low voice sounded. Within the rosy radiance, ten thousand arrows fired at once. The power of these arrows was even stronger than the Zijin Emperor back then, surpassing annihilating power, as if already beyond the limit of a Hongmeng true supreme powerhouse.
Lin Moyu kept retreating. Luckily this space was vast. He still had room to retreat. The rosy radiance became clouds and pursued relentlessly, and it was increasing. The arrows were becoming more numerous and denser.
If this continued, it would not work. Sooner or later he would be hit. Here, techniques and talents were suppressed. If he died, he would truly die. These arrows could not be blocked. Once hit, death was certain.
Lin Moyu's thoughts raced. Ordinary methods were useless. To stop the arrows, there was only one thing.
Arrays.
A spark flashed. He was within an array. Only arrays could stop arrows. As he retreated, he tapped with his finger. A rune flew out and turned into a grand array. The grand array evolved into a heavy shield before Lin Moyu.
The arrows slammed into the shield. The array roared and began to crumble.
So strong.
With Lin Moyu's current formation Dao, facing the arrows, his array could not even hold for half a breath.
These arrows truly surpassed Hongmeng true supreme powerhouses. How strong they were was beyond what he could imagine.
No. Pure rune arrays were not enough. Lin Moyu stood at the endpoint of formation Dao. With one thought, an array formed. A pure rune array could deal with any Hongmeng true supreme powerhouse, but against even stronger power, it was still lacking.
If the Hongmeng Jade Array Disc could still be used, with that Hongmeng supreme treasure as the array base, the array's might could increase severalfold, and perhaps it could block the arrows.
But here, the Hongmeng Jade Array Disc was suppressed and unusable, unable to serve as the array base.
Array base.
Lin Moyu looked up and saw broken stones floating in the void. There were many scattered stones, some as large as a head, some as small as a fist. They looked like ordinary stones, no different, but Lin Moyu could tell their material was special and of an extremely high tier. Using them as the array base, with a thought, many runes flew out and evolved into array shields to block the arrows and buy time.
He shot upward and forcibly seized several fist-sized stones. In his palm, a rune instantly formed and fell into the stone. The fist-sized stone fused with the rune, quickly becoming smooth and supple, changing shape with Lin Moyu's will.
It worked.
Lin Moyu split his focus. On one side, he kept forming arrays to block the rosy radiance arrows. On the other, he refined several stones into array-base materials. In only a few seconds, he had enough.
Several runes flew out. Using broken stones as the base, a grand array formed with a boom. With broken stones as the base, the grand array's power increased severalfold. Under the arrows' bombardment, it supported a safe zone for Lin Moyu.
He did not know what these stones were, but he felt they were stronger than Heaven-and-Earth source materials. Their effect was only slightly inferior to the Hongmeng Jade Array Disc.
Huff.
He had held.
Next was counterattack. He finally had a chance to see who was attacking him.
His eyes pierced the rosy radiance, passed through the arrows, crossed the clouds. Lin Moyu saw a clump of soul flame.
Someone.
His brow furrowed hard. There was someone here.
Soul flame did not lie. He could not have misseen. Someone was here, stopping him from advancing.
No Hongmeng true supreme powerhouse had ever entered. When he opened the door, he felt its ancientness. It had never been opened. Then this fellow should be the one the hall spirit spoke of. The hall spirit and he both did not want him to succeed and take the next step.
His power surpassed Hongmeng true supreme powerhouses, but here he too had limitations. In this place, all methods were suppressed. Only formation Dao could be used. Those rosy radiance arrows were also formation Dao.
Then I will use formation Dao to suppress and kill you.
The opponent's formation Dao was extremely strong, already not far from the endpoint, even a bit stronger than Lin Moyu a thousand years ago. But that bit was a gulf between heaven and earth. Only one who had stepped into that final step could understand.
His rosy radiance arrows were themselves a grand array. The reason they were so strong was, first, he had laid them first and likely spent countless years perfecting them. Second, he also used broken stones as the array base, further increasing power. Third, Lin Moyu had been caught off guard and fell into danger.
Now Lin Moyu had stabilized. It was time to counterattack.
Lin Moyu took more broken stones and refined them into array bases. In only dozens of seconds, a terrifying grand array formed. This array turned defense into offense. Endless gale winds surged out. Each array base within was like a terrifying powerhouse, joining in attack. The gale was like blades. Wherever it passed, ten thousand arrows vanished. Countless rosy radiance arrows were blown apart.
With this array outward, Lin Moyu pressed forward under its cover, charging toward the Divine Hall and rapidly reclaiming ground, returning to the original starting point, then continuing to close in. The cloud mass behind the rosy radiance was also blown apart, revealing the true array. Then the gale blew into the opponent's array.
Lin Moyu's array was clearly stronger. The opponent's array held only a few breaths before being blown into fragments. In formation Dao contest, the opponent was still short by a tiny bit from the endpoint. That tiny bit decided victory.
Lin Moyu faintly heard a scream. The opponent's soul hidden in the array was extinguished by the gale.
Dead.
Lin Moyu frowned and felt something was off. How could the opponent die so easily? This did not match common sense. The soul flame he saw earlier was extremely strong, the strongest he had ever seen, surpassing Hongmeng true supreme powerhouses. It was just hidden in the array and not seen clearly. Yet now it was killed so easily.
Lin Moyu did not relax. His gaze swept all around, still vigilant. Gradually, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
So that was it.
He not only did not retract the array, he tapped his finger and turned the array around, blowing it toward the Divine Hall. The gale struck the hall, making it rumble. Cracks appeared. This hall, which should have been incomparably sturdy, began to shatter.
An exasperated voice came from within the hall. "Stop!"
Lin Moyu ignored it. The array kept blowing. The roar grew louder.
"Ignorant brat, I command you to stop!"
Lin Moyu still did not care. Whoever you are, I will hit you first.
The hall finally shattered completely, revealing an even larger array. Within the array sat a black shadow. The voice came from that shadow. For some reason, seeing this black shadow gave Lin Moyu a strange sense of familiarity, as if he knew it. Yet at the same time, he felt an intense disgust. He did not like this fellow.
The gale continued. Lin Moyu had no intention of stopping. The array hidden in the hall was stronger than the rosy radiance array, but it still could not block Lin Moyu's array. This was a difference in formation Dao tier. Unless one had a heaven-defying treasure, it was hard to make up.
"You should die!"
Amid the roar, he slapped out a palm. The entire space rumbled. A terrifying attack fell from the void. This strike was shockingly strong, far beyond Hongmeng true supreme powerhouses.
Lin Moyu's heart jolted. He had a feeling his array might not block it.
After slapping out that palm, the black shadow's aura dropped a lot. Clearly, he also paid a price. Here, all methods were suppressed. Only formation Dao could be used. To break the suppression and use one's own power would require a price. He would rather pay it and injure himself to kill Lin Moyu.
Under this palm, Lin Moyu's array trembled and began to collapse.
As expected, it could not block it.
Lin Moyu did not think much. He wanted to retreat. He could not take this palm. If he took it, he would die.
But suddenly, a black light appeared in the distance, then arrived before him as if by teleportation. It also slapped out a palm, forcibly dispersing the opponent's giant palm. But its aura also dropped a notch.
Here, using power outside formation Dao required a price.
"System!"
Lin Moyu froze. He did not expect the System to appear here, and even block a fatal blow for him.
The System pointed into the distance. "Go. Leave him to me."
Lin Moyu did not hesitate and immediately went where the System pointed. He trusted the System unconditionally. He knew the System could not harm him. Without the System, he could not have reached today.
The black shadow in the array wanted to stop Lin Moyu, but the System acted first. Attacks fell like a storm, forcibly pinning the black shadow down.
Lin Moyu looked back once. The System was very strong, surpassing Hongmeng true supreme powerhouses, evenly matched with the black shadow. Here, if they fought, both would pay a large price. But the System did not care at all. Every strike was full force.
What kind of existence was the System? Why was it here?
Before it appeared, he had not sensed it at all. It seemed to come here purely to help him. It should know the black shadow existed, and know the black shadow would kill him, so it came.
The black shadow should be the fellow behind the hall spirit. That was why the hall spirit was so sure he could not take the next step.
Lin Moyu knew clearly: without the System, he would indeed have been hard-pressed to survive just now.
Since the System had acted, he would leave it to the System. He did not need to interfere. Everyone doing their own thing was the best outcome.
What he needed to do now was find the real Divine Hall.
After going along the System's direction for a moment, a grand array appeared in his sight. Before he even arrived, he had already seen through it. Several divine runes flew out and fused into the array. A doorway appeared within it.
This grand array was very complex, but not hidden. It was the opposite extreme of the Heaven-and-Earth Wall. The array of the Heaven-and-Earth Wall was not complex, only very hidden, impossible to see its form, so one could only try the clumsy method until it matched. But this array was extremely complex. If you could not see through it, you could not enter no matter what.
Of course, whether the Heaven-and-Earth Wall or this array, one had to reach the endpoint of formation Dao to solve them. The endpoint was the foundation, irreplaceable.
As for how the System and the black shadow got in, it was beyond Lin Moyu's understanding. He would not consider it for now.
He rushed into the array doorway. His view opened wide.
A delicate Divine Hall appeared. Behind it, a Divine Road ran through the void. Beyond the void was another Divine Hall, identical to the one before. One hall, one Divine Road. Ninety-nine halls linked into one whole.
Only, what he had seen earlier was fake, disguised by the black shadow. What he saw now was real. The black shadow did this to stop him from entering the true Divine Hall.
Lin Moyu did not slow and charged into the hall.
The hall was exquisite. Within it floated countless points of light like stars. These points of light all emitted Heaven-and-Earth power. Each was hidden within a grand array. The arrays varied in strength and form, as if collecting every kind of array under the sky.
With one glance, Lin Moyu understood the intention.
His fingers danced with runes, and he began to break arrays.
