Chapter 3989: Blessing in Disguise
Long Sheng hid within the spirit flowers. Not only did the flowers allow his soul to recover, but they also provided a degree of protection against the corruption of the curse. Even some of the curse that had previously afflicted Long Sheng could be cleansed in the process.
With Long Sheng's soul no longer influencing it, the curse regained control of the Ancestral Dragon's body. The body trembled and let out a roar, raising its claws to attack Lin Moyu. Its jaws opened wide, ready to unleash a breath attack.
Before it could act, the statue attacked. Wave after wave of powerful strikes landed, further injuring the Ancestral Dragon's body and knocking it down. Though seemingly formidable, the body was now covered in wounds, bones exposed, and blood flowing freely nearly torn apart.
Under the statue's suppression, the Ancestral Dragon could barely move.
"Such a good body, it'd be a waste to just destroy it like this," Lin Moyu remarked.
"Since you swallowed Long Sheng, and his soul is inside you, that's cause and effect. I'll give him a stroke of fortune."
With a light laugh, Lin Moyu unleashed the power of immortality not just pure death, but a blend of life and death, forming immortal power. Death within life, life within death.
The immortal power entered the Ancestral Dragon's body. Death power corroded the curse, while life power healed the flesh. Destruction and renewal this process was excruciatingly painful. The mutated Ancestral Dragon's body had changed in many ways, no longer resembling a normal living being. Lin Moyu cleaned out every diseased spot, performing a massive purification. After this, the Ancestral Dragon's body would be completely renewed, and with Long Sheng's soul, a new group of ten powerful dragons would be born on the Origin Continent.
Of course, Long Sheng could never become the Ancestral Dragon again. The new Ancestral Dragon and Dragon God would be Antares. Still, Long Sheng would benefit greatly from this ordeal, becoming far stronger than before.
Immortal power could kill or save; its wonders were beyond words.
Sensing what was happening, the Ancestral Dragon's body, driven by the curse, fought back violently, but it was futile. Before Lin Moyu's power of death, the curse was nothing.
A gale erupted from Lin Moyu, carrying pure death power and sweeping through the Dragon Tomb. With Long Sheng found, there was no need to hold back he quickly cleaned out the inner tomb.
There were many mutated Great Dao Realm dragon corpses in the inner tomb, but to Lin Moyu, they were all trash. In just half a day, the inner tomb was cleared; now both the inner and outer tombs were completely purified.
As Lin Moyu had suspected, the Ancestral Dragon had only encountered an ordinary Great Dao Desolate Beast, so the pollution wasn't severe nothing compared to what the Lord of Curses faced. For Lin Moyu, such a curse was easy to resolve.
Once out of the tomb, he would purify the curse on the Origin Continent as well the only question was how. In any case, it wouldn't be difficult.
After two sweeps with immortal power, the Ancestral Dragon's body was completely purified. The spirit flowers were exhausted, and Long Sheng's fully restored soul emerged.
"The Ancestral Dragon's body…"
Long Sheng could hardly believe he now possessed the Ancestral Dragon's body.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Trading your own body for the Ancestral Dragon's is a good deal."
It was more than good it was an incredible windfall.
Long Sheng grew excited. "Is this really okay?"
Lin Moyu laughed, "Why not? The Ancestral Dragon is dead; leaving his body to rot would be a waste. Make good use of it. But your soul still isn't strong enough. To fully control this body, you'll need to keep cultivating."
By Lin Moyu's estimate, Long Sheng would need to reach the third tier soul level to perfectly control the Ancestral Dragon's body a long journey ahead.
"Thank you, Elder Lin. I owe you everything…" Long Sheng began, but Lin Moyu cut him off.
"It's nothing. The Ancestral Dragon brought this on himself, and even brought the curse back to the Origin Continent. Even if he were alive, he'd probably be punished. Let's go Clan Leader Long Wei is waiting. Once I finish here, I'm heading home. Little Mist and the others are waiting for me. This all went pretty smoothly, just a few days' work."
Taking Long Sheng back to the Dragon Clan, Lin Moyu used the World Burning Fire to incinerate the Dragon Tomb. From now on, there would be no Dragon Tomb in the world. If Antares wanted one, he'd have to build it himself but Lin Moyu doubted he'd get the chance, as Antares wouldn't remain on the Origin Continent in his plans.
When Long Sheng returned in the Ancestral Dragon's body, Long Wei was overjoyed. She was deeply attached to Long Sheng, like a daughter to a father; she didn't care whose body it was, as long as Long Sheng was alive.
After leaving the Dragon Clan, Lin Moyu stood above the Origin Continent, in the Heavenly Dao outside.
"Purify!"
With a low shout, his voice echoed across the continent. Instantly, a gentle rain fell, and the power of immortality swept over the land.
Under immortal power, the sick were healed, the healthy were strengthened, curses were erased, and all injuries big or small were restored. This was a great act of kindness; Lin Moyu couldn't be bothered to treat everyone individually, so he simply cast a continent wide spell, letting everyone benefit a little.
Fortunately, the curse wasn't very strong, so it was easily handled.
Lin Moyu's manifestation shocked the entire Origin Continent and many powerful beings in the Heavenly Dao outside. They had seen the curse, but were powerless against it. Most didn't even know what a Great Dao Desolate Beast was; all they could do was hide.
For the continent's experts, the years since the Origin Catastrophe had been lost time they knew little of what happened in the Soul Void. Over the centuries, people's memories of Lin Moyu had faded, but now, they remembered him again.
"That monster is back!"
"He's been gone for centuries I thought he'd vanished. Truly terrifying."
"I wonder how strong he is now. He feels stronger than ever."
"No doubt. A few centuries for him are worth more than tens of thousands for us. All we can do is look up to him."
Countless experts discussed Lin Moyu, while he went to see Antares.
"It's done," Lin Moyu said calmly.
Antares grinned, "You revealed yourself to the world why so high profile?"
Lin Moyu replied, "Just a warning to certain people to behave, and I didn't want to waste time dealing with them one by one. This was easier, and a good deed."
Antares clearly didn't believe him. "You, doing a good deed?"
Lin Moyu ignored him. "Enough nonsense. When are you leaving?"
Antares' eyes narrowed. "Are you sure I have to go?"
"You don't have to. But if you die, don't blame me I can't stop him."
Antares sighed, "Fine. I'll wrap things up and go tomorrow."
Lin Moyu nodded. "I won't be leaving for a while, so the Dragon Clan will be fine. If my plan succeeds, you can come back, or take the Dragon Clan with you it's up to you. Now it's just you and the World Sealing Dao Lord left; everyone else is settled."
Impatient, Antares said, "Got it, stop nagging. I'll leave tomorrow, alright?"
