Chapter 4167: He Is Invincible
Endless karma pierced through the void, surging into the Origin Land, rushing toward Lin Moyu. The Divine Rune of World Destruction shattered the Curse Dao, causing chaos throughout heaven and earth. The consequences of this act were unimaginable countless living beings could die as a result, and the accumulated karma would be beyond comprehension.
Originally, part of this karma would be borne by Lin Moyu, and the rest by Candle Dragon. Candle Dragon, of course, did not want to bear any of this karma; he feared that such immense karma would affect his own plans for transcendence. So he never intended to tell Lin Moyu that the last essence of the Curse Dao was left in the core of the realm. Simply destroying the Curse Dao in the Origin Land would not truly annihilate it.
But this couldn't be hidden from Lin Moyu. Whether a Dao had been shattered, or whether the Lord of Curses had truly perished, could be sensed there was no way to deceive anyone. Candle Dragon tactfully explained his thoughts to Lin Moyu, and after some discussion, Lin Moyu agreed to bear all the karma himself. Only then did Candle Dragon reveal the final location of the Curse Dao to Lin Moyu, knowing Lin Moyu had a treasure that could use karma to pinpoint and lock onto the Curse Dao.
Now, as karma surged madly, Candle Dragon, to avoid affecting the Origin Land, used his authority to open up a separate channel for this karma something they had agreed upon beforehand.
"Faith!"
Lin Moyu shouted. In the Great Thousand World, countless beings simultaneously contributed vast amounts of faith power to Lin Moyu. This faith power could offset some of the karma, but only a portion; over seventy percent of the karma still fell on Lin Moyu.
Even just seventy percent of the karmic backlash was more than Lin Moyu could bear.
Bang!
Lin Moyu's physical body exploded, shattering to pieces, and even his soul was torn apart. The matter was so grave that all the Eternals present could feel the wrath of heaven and earth. Not just Lin Moyu any of them would have perished under the first wave of karmic impact, their Daos falling into dormancy. Of course, they wouldn't truly die, but with such immense karma entangling them, who knew how many years it would take to return.
At that moment, some thought Lin Moyu was being foolish. Even if he had a grudge with the Lord of Curses, it wasn't worth sacrificing himself.
But in the next second, a flash of purple light appeared, and Lin Moyu was reborn, fresh and alive. Even the punishment of the world's rules could not stop his rebirth.
The karmic backlash did not come in just one wave; it surged like a storm, wave after wave. Lin Moyu did not know how the world's rules calculated karma. Candle Dragon had warned him that the karma would be enormous. The world might use destiny to calculate all possible future consequences, factoring in everything that might happen. After all, what Lin Moyu had done touched the very bottom line of heaven and earth, affecting the core of the realm, so the punishment was bound to be severe.
Just after being reborn, Lin Moyu's body and soul shattered again. He died once more, but only a second later, he was reborn again. The punishment continued, with invisible forces crushing Lin Moyu, but every second he reappeared, full of life. He died again and again, and was reborn again and again. Unknowingly, he had died dozens of times.
The Eternals present were stunned Lin Moyu simply could not die. After so many deaths, he revived every time. If it had been them, they would have been dormant for countless cycles by now. The punishment of heaven and earth was truly bizarre wave after wave, never stopping. Surely, no matter how great the karma, it should end eventually.
Candle Dragon's eyes were also strange; the severity and persistence of this punishment exceeded his expectations. He was also shocked by Lin Moyu's revival ability. To revive a few times was one thing, but now it seemed he simply could not die.
Indeed, Lin Moyu could not die. After advancing to Eternity, his innate abilities had strengthened. Now he could be reborn every second; if this pace continued, he could keep being reborn until the end of time. That was why he dared to take on all the karma he simply wasn't worried. Now, there were very few things in this realm that could kill him; even the punishment of heaven and earth could hardly do so.
The Human Emperor sighed, "So this is the Undying Dao."
Old Yin head agreed, "Yes, he simply can't die. Even heaven and earth can't do anything to him."
The Lord of Power said, "He's invincible heaven and earth can't kill him."
At this moment, in the eyes of the Eternals, Lin Moyu was truly invincible. While the Eternals' strengths were similar, they had to admit that Lin Moyu was now far ahead of them.
After dying ninety nine times, the punishment finally stopped, and the karmic backlash dissipated. The strongest punishment in history was finally over. Candle Dragon said, "Remember what you promised me." Lin Moyu nodded, "I will."
After Candle Dragon disappeared, Lin Moyu turned to the Eternals with a smile. "Everyone, did you enjoy the show?"
The Human Emperor laughed, "Daoist Lin, your performance truly opened our eyes. Now we finally know what the core of the realm is really like."
Old Yin head agreed, "Yes, we all knew there was a core, but we'd never seen it. Thanks to Daoist Lin, we finally have what an eye opener."
Lin Moyu said, "Now that the Origin Land is missing a Dao, there's a vacant spot. I wonder who will be lucky enough to become the next Eternal."
This immediately stirred thoughts in everyone's hearts. Yes, with the Curse Dao gone, there was a vacancy in the Origin Land, and the gate would open. Even if it didn't, the next Dao Lord to try for Eternity would have a much easier time. They all had friends, relatives, or juniors at the Dao Lord level if they could help someone claim that spot, it would be ideal.
Lin Moyu smiled, "Alright, my business here is done. Time to fulfill my promise. Farewell, everyone until we meet again."
His figure faded and he left the Origin Land. After Lin Moyu left, the Eternals also departed not just from the Origin Land, but from the Hengduan Mountains as well. They needed to spread the news of the vacancy, so their people could try for it maybe one of them would become the next Eternal.
Lin Moyu returned to the Hengduan Mountains, arriving at An Yuyan's palace. The palace had been sealed for many years, and the aura of karma inside showed that An Yuyan was in closed door cultivation. Lin Moyu thought for a moment, then conjured a spirit flower, left a message in it, and turned to leave. The spirit flower floated in front of the palace, merging with the formation when An Yuyan finished her cultivation, she would see Lin Moyu's message.
Lin Moyu returned to the Great Wilderness, flying toward its center, where the dragon awaited him. Along the way, he saw many filth pools; now, out of 108 pools, seventy eight had been purified by the Soulless Beast, who was growing ever stronger. The Beast Emperors seemed to have stopped trying to stop the Soulless Beast, as if they no longer cared.
